The World Of The Venerate: Everwhite
Chapter 14 - Crystal Stone
“Well, what's up?” Ask a Giantman named Vertorn.
“We just got an information that Hefaistos Silkbar already know the arrival of the Vampireman to the northern region.” replied the woman who met him.
“And also the man suddenly went to the region after knowing this,” the woman continued saying.
“Hmph... So so it is well..” Said the Giantman, who looked relaxed listening to him.
“Looks like Hefaistos has now defeated them. Plus Artemis who is also there, it is impossible for the Vampireman it can have a chance to win or run.”.
“I don't think that person will stay silent if he knows the truth from the Vampireman.” Vertorn was worried that Hephaestus would not remain silent after learning the truth from Silvan before, where the Giantman had allowed the Vampireman to enter the land of Lightio and go into the northern interior.
“Leagerenza, we must gather the top level Venerate as soon as possible After saying this, the Giantman turned around to walk down the hill.
The woman named Leagerenza was shocked to hear Vertorn's words, but was speechless and simply followed the man down the hills.

Back in the village which is in the northern hinterland of Lightio country. Hephaestus, Artemis, Lucierence and Timonar were sitting in a meeting room to discuss the events that had occurred before.
“I do not believe that the decision to ally with the land of Machora Tira makes them take advantage of the situation so that I look bad again in the eyes of the citizens of Lightio,”, said Hefiastos.
“It is clear that your decision was wrong, so that the westerners took advantage of the situation..If only you did not come here or the Vampireman did not tell the truth, I must have come to see you and made calculations for you after this incident,” said Artemis.
“How could my decision be wrong? I approve of the land of Lightio in alliance with the land of Machora Tira actually to protect Zchaira... They will not target the power of the holy beings who are in Zchaira because of a covenant I say.”.
Hearing the statement from Hephaestus, Artemis immediately stood up and pulled the collar of the ruler of the land of Lightio.
“You saw for yourself what happened before. The Machora Tira race even came here with one goal, wanting to take over the power that is within my daughter With a serious expression and a high tone of voice, Artemis yelled at the man for speaking out against the reality that had happened.
Seeing Artemis' serious facial expression while clutching Hefaistos' collar, Lucierence and Timonar become worried that the woman will overdo it by unleashing her powers that will likely cause the village to be destroyed instantly.
Not wanting this to happen, Lucierence stood up and tried to separate Artemis and Hephaestus.
“Sister please calm down first, let me explain. I also remember after Brother Hefaistos said of the covenant with the races of Machora Tira,” The man from the Silkbar clan tried to appease Artemis by saying he would explain the agreement between the countries of Lightio and Machora Tira before the alliance.

After a while, Artemis sat back down after her anger had broken.
“Lucierence, now talk about what you want to say,” said Artemis, telling Lucierence to explain the agreement between the land of Lightio and the land of Machora Tira.
“It has been about fifteen more years that you have lived in this place after leaving the city of Hawkingson.”.
“You sure don't really know what happened between Lightio and Machora Tira?” Lucierence.
The man also explained that starting from about ten years ago to almost a year ago, the land of Lightio and the land of Machora Tira often quarrel and often war conflicts.
The purpose of Machora Tira began the feud is to target the eternal fertility power of a dragon that inhabits the northwestern region of Lightio. It is this power that has also been given to Zchaira.
Because for almost ten years of constant conflict, Lightio decided to bring together the leaders of the two countries by negotiating to offer something that is not inferior to the strength they seek.
The top brass Machora Tira agreed to this and eventually established an alliance as proof of their agreement.
“So what do you want to give them?” Ask Artemis.
“Crystal stones that store the full power of holy beings,” replied Hefaistos.
“What…? But, isn't that thing no longer owned by the Silkbar clan?” Said Artemis, immediately surprised to hear the answer from Hefaistos.
“Iya, for now we do not have it, but I already know the location of the object is where. Just waiting for the right time so we can take it.”
As the clan that claimed to be the strongest among the clans of the other Lightio witches, the Silkbar clan certainly had stronger special abilities, which set them apart from the rest.
The Silkbar Clan had long since had a deeper ability to use their sealing magic to insert great power into an inanimate object.
Of all the great powers they had sealed into the dead container, there was a full might of a World Venerate-level saint beast sealed within a chunk of crystal stone.
During the Aizolica continental wars on the border of the lands of Lightio and Machora Tira some thirty years ago, the object was successfully taken by the forces of Machora Tira.
Since Machora Tira's country was defeated, the object has never been seen again. Machora Tira and its alliance state said that the object had been taken back by the Lightio state.
“Who has the stone?” Ask Artemis again.
“I'm sure who took it at that time was the Fuegonia army.” Now Lucierence was the one who answered questions from Artemis.
“After defeating Machora Tira's last army that time, they took it without telling us,” the man continued saying.
“I'm sure if the thing was taken by them, then the one who will save it is Rox Drown..” Lucierence said, calling one of the Venerate of Fuegonia country.

Moving outdoors, Lucia the Vampireman girl who is Silvan's daughter finally awakens from her stupor.
When the girl opened her eyes, she immediately woke up and realized that the Vampireman was now gathered in one place surrounded by a series of blazing runes around them.
“What is this?” The girl looked confused.
“We are confined in this place and cannot escape even using teleportation techniques,” said Joker.
Unbelieving the words of her brother, Lucia tried to use her teleportation technique and disappeared.
As the Joker says they can't get out, the girl reappears by hitting an invisible wall of rune characters.
“Hahaha... Look at him..” Suddenly a laugh came from someone when Lucia failed to break out of the barrier.
It turned out that not only was it confined by an invisible barrier technique, the Vampireman was also now guarded by the citizens who were near them.
