 That was that.

 I dusted my hands off as my pale fire dissipated. All that was left of Fictus were her ashes. Id fortunately leveled up once in both my ss and my Subspecies from this encounter. Although, sadly, I still hadnt reached my ss advancement.

 It wouldve been nice to get an early ss advancement at Level 95. But even if it gave me the ability to travel between the nes of the Nexeus, it wouldnt have helped. Not right now. I still had yet to deal with Belzu.

 So, I descended. Not unhappy or upset. I quite enjoyed that fight with Fictus and Mentior. They were strong for their levels. It was one of the first times Id struggled so much against enemies who were 5 levels below me.

 I wonder what made them so strong

 I tipped my head back as Inded at the very edge of the garden. The previously unconscious figures strewn about the grass were now waking up. I recognized a few of them. Like Feirdun Merryster. Or the other people my clone met like Roman Crimsonfang and Zin Norwood.

 Saffron Merryster stumbled out of the treeline as I perused the scene. Various heads turned to look at me, eyeing me with suspicion or confusion. They just stared as I leapt forward, hugging mypanion.

 Saffron! Im so d youre safe!

 The pink-haired woman paused. She slowly hugged me back, smiling.

 And its good to see you too, Salvos.

 We drew back from each other, and she patted me on the shoulder.

 The real you. I quite enjoyed thepany of your clone, but it isnt quite the same thing as hearing your voice.

 Aw but my clones are me!

 I grinned as she chuckled. Saffron took a step back, looking me over. She saw the mes wisping off my body like sparks. It was just my usual blue fire since I didnt have [Divine Essence] active. But it did its job. Neither Archdemon''s magic could harm me. Even whenbined.

 There were a few points where Id been worried. Like when I was caught by the [Blood Bindings]. I did have a clone waiting on the ready, and I trusted Saffron to destroy the [Blood Prison]. But the fact that I couldnt break through the crimson threads had me concerned especially if Saffron was too slow, or if the Archdemons dealt with my clone.

 Then there was that brief power boost Fictus had towards the end of the fight. It was like shed suddenly grown much stronger. Thest of blood magic she struck me with was far stronger than even herbined casting with Mentior. I wasnt sure if my Grand Skill wouldve held up for a moment. But thankfully it did.

 You really have grown quite a bit since Ist saw you.

 Saffron shook her head as she used [Identification] on me. I nodded eagerly, giving her a thumbs-up.

 Yep! I killed an [Ancient Centinel]!

 ...why am I not surprised.

 It was a very tough battle! It even had its own super powerful Grand Skill!

 She massaged her temples, turning away from me.

 Id love to hear about your Centinel-ying adventures, Salvos. But right now

 Her lips pursed as she took in the scene. Her father worked alongside Zin, helping those whod been injured by the [Blood Prison].

 Saffron sighed.

 Right now, Ill have to deal with that.

 Saffron followed her father, helping him restore peace in the garden. There was a lot of confusion, and they had to move to cate the growing misced anger. For a brief moment, the Crimsonfangs believed that this was another premeditated assassination attempt by the Norwoods. But after seeing the damage done to Norwood Keep, they realized the truth.

 This attack was done by Demons. Unrted to any of the Vampire Families. It had been an attempt at a swift, decisive strike to deal with the Four Greater Vampire Families, all at once. If Salvos hadnt intervened theyd have seeded.

 And that struck fear into the hearts of many. They realized finally that this threat was real. Garlen Crimsonfang shuddered as he sipped from a healing potion Saffron provided him.

 To think a pair of Demons could do this much damage all on their own.

 Are you serious? Saffron bit back the retort. A single Demon felled my country on its own. But the young noble understood that there was a difference between seeing the threat, and just hearing about it.

 That is why we need to work together. Lest all our families will fall.

 She spoke softly, meeting Garlens gaze. He closed his eyes.

 I understand now. Ill ensure that my family cooperates with yours to ensure the defeat of the Primeval Demon. To prevent Regnorexs return.

 Thank you, lord Garlen Crimsonfang. It is good to have you on our side. And it is good to hear that your son is safe.

 Saffron was d at least that was settled. It likely wasnt going to be the end-all be-all of things, but she knew it was a step in the right direction. Anya Veridian expressed a simr sentiment agreeing that this matter was urgent and action had to be taken immediately.

 I apologize for my familys inaction during the fall of Nightsveil. It was inexcusable. We shouldve offered you our assistance when we could.

 She bowed to Saffron. The young noble shifted back. It was an ufortable topic, but she truly did not me the Veridians or any of the other Vampire families for staying out of it then. The coalition army seemed like itd have been more than enough to deal with the Primeval Demon, but they failed.

 Saffron shook her head as she spoke.

 That does not matter anymore. What matters now is that our families work together to do whatever is necessary to prevent the Primeval Demon from acquiring another of Alexanders Treasures.

 Are we truly certain it is aiming for the Treasures of Alexander?

 Anya asked, pressing her lips into a thin line. Saffron nodded.

 I am certain. I believe that the Primeval Demon is collecting them for Regnorex. Without the Treasures of Alexander, what hope do we have of repelling Regnorexs return?

 That is troubling. Perhaps the Norwoods will have to evacuate. Last I heard, the Primeval Demon was at the edge of Inoria, right by Shedos border.

 I had hoped for a way to stall the Primeval Demon here. But

 Saffron nced over at the destroyed castle. She sighed.

 It seems our only option now is to flee.

 Wait, are you leaving again?

 A voice called out, interrupting Saffrons conversation with Anya. Salvos walked up to them, frowning.

 But why?

 Thats

 Saffron opened her mouth, but caught herself when she saw the way Anya stare at Salvos. The young noble quickly introduced Salvos.

 Apologies for her interruption. This is Salvos. Shes

 I have heard of her. Youre Salvos, the Diamond Ranked adventurer who defeated the Lich, arent you?

 Anya raised a brow. Salvos beamed.

 Yep! Thats me!

 Interesting. Your level is far beyond what I was led to believe. And you were strong enough to defeat both the Archdemons whod assailed us here.

 Well, I am amazing, yes.

 Saffron wouldve been more than happy to indulge Salvos ego any other time. Right now, though, there were other matters to attend to.

 Im sorry, Salvos. But we cannot face the Primeval Demon head-on. There is far too much risk. Even with all the resources of our familiesbined, we cannot muster up a force equal to the one that was defeated at Nightsveil.

 But wait I have good news!

 Salvos sped her hands together.

 You dont need to rely on just your families resources.

 Saffron exchanged a nce with Anya. Salvos excitedly continued.

 I just came from Mavos Academy. We had a really long talk about this about the Primeval Demon. The gist of it is that Regnorex and the Primeval Demon arent on the same side.

 There was a pause. Saffrons eyes grew wide as she sputtered.

 What?

 Anya ced a hand on her chin, muttering to herself.

 This this changes everything. Are you certain?

 Yep! Belzu, that Primeval Demon, is working on his own. Ill exin all the detailster, but basically, I told yton Skyshredder, the Headmaster of Mavos Academy Saffron, you know him everything.

 Saffron listened to Salvos drone on. She was certain that Anya knew who yton was, but Salvos didnt know that. And, well, the young noble was d to see that Salvos had grown and now understood that not everyone understood the same things she did. But Salvos had grown a bit too far into the other direction, and was overexining things.

 Then we met the King of Traith Lamarr hes part of the Seven Councilmembers of the Eastern Kingdom Alliances

 Salvos

 Saffron interrupted her friend.

 Can you please get to the point.

 Oh, um, right.

 Salvos tapped a finger on her chin. The silver-haired woman thought for a moment, before smiling as she spread her arms wide.

 Basically, what Im saying is that a bunch of important people are more than happy to help you guys protect your families! Especially if it means Belzu doesnt get his hands on the Treasures of Alexander. Im sure Mavos Academy would take you guys in.

 I see.

 Saffron absorbed the implications of it all.

 It seems youve really been busy, Salvos.

 Was it selfish or maniptive of Saffron to be d she befriended Salvos during moments like these? It was something the young noble often questioned about herself. Perhaps it was her Lady showing through deep down, she mightve thrived in politics even though she hated it.

 But she wasnt going to reject Salvos help. Not right now.

 Then let us head to Mavos Academy and speak with yton Skyshredder.

 Yep!

 Salvos pumped a fist into the air. Saffron smiled. Everything could be exined on the way. But for now, what mattered was securing the Greaves of Alexander and ensuring that the Norwood Family was safe.

 yton definitely will help us out!

 The silver-haired woman spoke excitedly.

 --

 Absolutely not.

 Saffron stared at yton Skyshredder as he spoke. They gathered in his office Salvos had flown a few of the important Vampires with them to Mavos Academy. Only to be repudiated.

 Mavos Academy shall not harbor the Greaves of Alexander, no matter what.

 There was a sense of finality in his voice. Saffron nced over at her friend. Salvos deted.

 Huh. I didnt expect that.
