142 Lucien’s Decisiveness (2/2)

However, in the next second, Lucien suddenly pushed one of the guards away, drew his dagger and stabbed it right into the other guard’s arm.

”Mr. Evans!!” Betty screamed, ”What’re you doing!?”

As soon as the dagger was stabbed into the guard’s arm, a putrid liquid burst out instead of the expected blood, spreading a horrible smell through the room.

Lucien’s movement was very swift. He pulled the dagger out and cut the guard’s throat open while he rolled forward on the floor to avoid the spear of the other guard.

Evans… Mr. Evans… killed the baron’s guard.

All of the guests were startled.

But soon they found that Mr.Evans was covered with a layer of white light. After Lucien managed to kill the other guard, the two bodies started to rot in a visible speed as if they were dead since long ago.

”This is…” Simon murmured subconsciously.

Lucien took back his Alert and answered calmly, ”This is a husk.”

And then he turned to Mars, ”Mr. Mars, do you know where the baron’s bedroom is?”

Mars was already shaking all over from what he just witnessed. He was not able to respond to Lucien properly until Joanna suddenly patted him on his back.

As soon as Mars uttered where the baron’s bedroom was, Lucien quickly made the arrangement, ”Simon, you deal with the guards from the upper floor. Make sure you take care of Mr. Wise and Mr. Mars. Betty and Joanna, you watch the stair on the other side.”

After seeing that they nodded subconsciously, Lucien quickly rushed out of the door and disappeared into the shadows.

”Mr. Evans… He has the power of a knight?” Betty cried out.

”Betty, get your bow and come here!” Simon commanded.

...

Lucien was running at full speed in the dark corridor. After killing several husks, Lucien stopped a few steps away from the baron’s bedroom.

Staring at the door, Lucien activated Sun’s Corona and released the magic waves which were extremely detrimental to undead creatures. The four husks guarding the bedroom were instantly purified and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Lucien banged the door open with all his strength, tightly holding Alert and the Grimsteel Dagger.

A couple of black magic circles showed up in front of the door but immediately broke into shining pieces.

When the door was knocked open, Lucien quickly stopped the momentum to prevent himself from running into anything by accident, and simultaneously activated a magic structure in his soul and summoned two black magic missiles.

In the bedroom, Baron Harbearo, whose face was covered with deep and horrible wrinkles, was sitting in the center of a black magic triangle. His appearance indicated his condition was worsening and he was about to die at any moment.

On the tips of the triangle, three figures were tied up by black, half-transparent tentacles. A baby, a seven or eight-years-old kid, and a teenager of thirteen or fourteen.

There was white light coming out of their bodies, as if the tentacles were sucking up their vital energy. The light was being infused into a white eyeball that had no pupil. Kaelyn stood beside the baron, enchanting some kind of weird spell. Being driven by her spell, there were two lines of tears of blood coming out of the eyeball and falling into the silver cup in Habearo’s hand.

However, to the baron’s great surprise, the two magic missiles flew right toward his silver cup.
