VAGRANTS
A Key

Feng Lian, Yin Chen, Eunchae, Silver, as well as Ling were gathered in a hall within the palace in well-groomed clothes. Thick bruise on Ling's face he had shaved out, until his handsome face could be seen again. They all look tense. Although everyone has gathered, but the conversation has not been started by anyone.

Ling who was about to ask, was cut off by the sound of the door slamming suddenly.

The princess from the Southern kingdom named Haerin had already woken up from her beautiful sleep. They sat down at a round table to negotiate.

In the negotiations, it is explained that Silver's arrival, Feng Lian and Yin Chen came here with the aim of harnessing the regenerating power of the southern Royal family to free Gilgamesh, the 1st Apotheosis, from the original, from his prison in white hell, they needed a lot of blood for the gate to open. While Caius and the others, they wanted to prevent this by killing princess Haerin, who was the last member of the Southern royal family.

"I refuse." Haerin replied, emotionally, then went out of the Hall.

Silver and the others were seen to instantly give up and get discouraged. While Ling, he instead chased after the woman secretly.

Eunchae who was about to tail was immediately detained by Silver. "We leave the rest to Ling."

...----------------...

Haerin was sobbing in his dark room. She hugged her two legs tightly, bending them, while sometimes fussing like a baby.

Tok tok tok tok

The sound of knocking on the door made Haerin shift his gaze.

"Go there." Dismiss Haerin, with a trembling voice.

The sound of knocking was again heard by his ears, making Haerin even more irritated, and chose to approach. "Otherwise, anyway?!"

Ling was silent at the door, with the sweetest smile he had ever made. "Can I come in?"

Haerin nodded, letting Ling in, then closed the door behind him. "They told you to come here?"

"No." Ling replied, with eyes surrounding the room. "I came here to understand how you feel. Mind telling a story?"

Haerin shook his head, then sat back on his large, majestic bed. He patted one side of the bed, as if asking Ling to sit there.

The girl then began to tell me about her complicated life. Sun Haerin was the last child of the royal family, and by a very coincidence, recently his family was killed by someone. They all seemed to leave it alone there along with a huge responsibility to a teenager who was only 18 years old. Haerin often failed to lead this kingdom, but she still continued to strive to be a worthy heir to the Sun family.

Knowing that he now wants to be killed by a group of powerful witches, Haerin becomes afraid. Haerin wanted to be protected, but with the payment of being a key, Haerin also did not want to.

All these sudden problems made Haerin worried.

"Is there a way to give me your power?" Ask Ling.

"There is, but it's pretty weird." Haerin replied, her right hand rubbing against her left arm, her pretty eyes glancing down. "You must drink my blood."

Ling glared lazily, as if irritated. "Does your family always have to deal with blood?" Ling pulled out his sword, then asked Haerin. "May I drink your blood?"

"Eh, are you serious?"

"fully. If I can have your powers, you don't have to be a key. But, even so, you'll still be protected by us." Obviously Ling. "Hows it? Just a scrap of wound, and I'm gonna pull all that worry out of your chest."

Ling scratched Haerin's arm thinly, and licked every drop of blood that flowed out of him.

Looking at the scene, Haerin was cold hot.

Feeling strange, Ling immediately pulled away, and tested the regenerating power he had just gained by injuring himself in the arm. "Successfully." Her speech.

"Really?"

Ling nodded with a smile. "Let's go back to the others, they're waiting for you. Oh, ja. For the current one, please do not resist anymore, and please do not talk about this conversation. Just accept and follow everything they say." Firm Ling. The man gently pulled Haerin's arm, carrying the girl out of his room towards the negotiating table.

Haerin's face was red. The woman's heart was pounding hard to make her feel the tightness of her chest. Getting all the attention, understanding, help, and saliva at the same time makes him feel that he is being loved.

And it's true Ling said earlier, the man could uproot all the worry he had, but there was one thing Ling didn't tell Haerin. Ling did not tell her that she would replace it with this strange super duper feeling.

A feeling that is nothing but the feeling of falling in love.

...----------------...

After they had finished deliberating, they immediately came out of the city to remove any traces so that their existence was not easily discovered by the Apotheosis sent by the Angel Malthael.

Elsewhere, Red, who had successfully completed his mission, immediately handed over the body of a boy at the request of the Angel.

Afterwards, Malthael allowed Red to leave. While the body of the boy will be taken to a secret place by a guard.

However, Red instead tried to follow the guard secretly. Because he was very curious what the Angel wanted to do with the corpse.

And after going down the stairs, Red finally arrived at a secret place that he had never known before.

A dark place surrounded by holy crystal stones. And even more surprising, the place turned out to be inhabited by a creature called Faramis, which is where the creature has the ability to give birth to the dead, who have died, and the ability of Faramis was used by Maltael to rebirth the body of the boy.

Meanwhile, Silver's entourage is now devising a strategy to reach the white hell prison. Because they were forced to take a much more dangerous route because the inter-natural teleportation portal had been closed by Vaas on the orders of Malthael himself.

The first thing they have to do is immediately look for the existence of Orochi, the only supernatural animal that can deliver them to Sean Land, the land under the deep sea. After that, they would then face off against the three layers of defense that were along the path to the white hell.

The first defense, a group of magical animals named Bless, is the guardian of the land Sean, and the part will be handed over to Yin Chen, because Yin Chen has the ability to hypnotize any supernatural being.

Then the second defense, was the blood altar that was at the center of the ruins of Sean's land. The blood altar itself was a gate mechanism that could only be opened by using a stream of pure blood flowing endlessly. And that task, could only be done by Haerin, who had regeneration ability.

Ling blinked his eyes at Haerin, making the woman misbehave.

The third defense is the gate of white hell. A giant gate that became the last door they had to pass through.

However, they will need a lot of Hocrux to keep the gate open. And the task will be left to Ling and Eunchae, because they have the same ability as Silver, which is to call Hocrux from the magical hill.

"Me and Feng Lian will go in there and free Gilgamesh. Are you guys ready?" Ask Silver.

They all looked at each other, then said. "Ready!" loud is also compact.
