With the end of Vicente's planned hunt, his group began their journey towards the headquarters of Nixlas' Shadows, in a neighboring state to the west of the Vinia Empire.
Nixlas' Shadows was in an autonomous area between the Vinia Empire and The Ivory Desert, two areas contrasted by the Congregation of Revelations and the vampire tribes.
This was definitely the most dangerous area on the continent, so they moved on from the Valley of Lightning with caution, not at all arrogant because of Vicente's advances.
He was stronger than ever, but it would only take one superior peak 5th stage vampire to end their journey.
While trying to hide their aura by traveling west, the group would now use Lina's prophetic ability more than ever to predict their encounters with monsters, inferior vampires, or superior vampires.
