Inside of the hall, Laurent, wearing a silver robe, was standing in the center of the altar. His distorted face was full of excitement and ecstasy.

He could feel it. He could feel the shadow entering his body. His blood was running and crying, gradually changing his body.

Forty years, forty years of waiting and dreaming. Today he could finally start regaining the glory of his family.

The mixed moans in his ears changed into the applauses and cheers on his knight title conferring ceremony. However, at this time, the whole house started shaking all of a sudden.

”Earthquake?! It this a punishment?!” Although Laurent had changed his belief in order to chase the dark power, in his mind, he still respected and feared the God of Truth. However, now he was just one step away from the great success. He could not give up at this point.

The ceiling of the hall started falling. Chunks of stone and wood fell on the ground, and some of them fell on Laurent’s head. Of course, he was afraid. The only hope he had was the dark power he was going to be endowed with soon.

”Do not panic, Laurent.” The shadow spoke to him as if it could read his mind, ”It will take another six to seven minutes for you to fully merge with me. If the house collapses, you will die. Stop the ritual at once. You’ve got a small part of my power, which already rivals the top senior-rank knight squire. We can complete it next time.”

The shadow spoke very fast. Within ten seconds, the shadow’s thought had all passed to Laurent.

Laurent was very angry. He could not stand watching his great plan being interrupted in the final stage. ”No, I’m not leaving!” Laurent shouted, ”The house won’t collapse! The earthquake won’t last!”

The windows broke in the violate shake. The strong wind of the upcoming storm blew in the hall and instantly drove the sweet and dreamy fragrance away. The people who were crazy with their desire suddenly sobered up.

”My god, earthquake!”

”Run, run!”

People were yelling. Some were wearing clothes in a hurry, some were running towards the gate naked, while some were even trying to escape through the windows.

The evil ritual took away their strength. They stumbled in panic and fear. One of the women slumped to the ground and was crawling towards the gate. The man who was having a pleasant time with her ran directly past the woman without a glance.

Watching these people leaving, Laurent knew his ritual had ended. The silver lines on the pattern disappeared with the shadow. With an angry shout, he stepped out of the altar and joined the panicky crowd. On his way running towards the exit, he hurriedly destroyed the magic traps one by one.

Behind Laurent, a man in black suit who was seemingly enjoying the sex party just now looked out of the window, with his face looking serious.

...

In the shadow of the house, Philosopher, White Honey and Smile were standing there, looking at Professor with their mouths and eyes widely open. Taking back his hands, the mysterious Professor said to the apprentices in a very calm tone, ”They’re leaving the house. Be prepared. Hunt the evil creature.”

”Why not just make the house collapse, Professor?” White Honey asked.

”I prefer not to,” Lucien stretched his hands a bit, ”If the creature dies in the ruins, it’ll be quite inconvenient for me to collect the blood. On the other hand, the sound of collapsing will alert the church. We don’t want this big trouble.”
