Chapter 438: 415 Chapter Entering the Demon’s Lair
In the pouring rain, Carol saw several enemies get killed and immediately said, “The Tide Master has already said we need to capture someone alive for interrogation, Old Dog, don’t kill them all!”
However, Old Dog suddenly shook his head, with a very serious look in his eyes, he spread his arms and replied in a deep voice, “We can’t hold back, the Mysterious rare artifact on that old man is of Forbidden class, and even with a four-digit code, it’s very powerful!”
“Forbidden rare artifact!” Carol exclaimed in shock.
Unable to move and her consciousness hazy, Charlotte also heard this exclamation and quickly grasped its meaning.
Yes, it was their last ace in the hole, the heirloom left by her parents, a four-digit coded, immensely powerful Forbidden rare artifact!
“Teacher…”
Charlotte, pale-faced, struggled to keep her eyes open, dearly hoping that her teacher would unleash the formidable power of the Forbidden rare artifact and kill those vile accomplices of the Demon Duke.
Lightning Empowerment!
She suddenly saw Fischer’s “Magic Wolf” as if it flung out some tiny object, and in an instant, that thing burst into a flash of lightning in mid-air, and the arm with which her teacher held the Forbidden rare artifact was shattered by lightning that came in the blink of an eye!
“Ahhhhhh!” The teacher screamed in agony, the Forbidden rare artifact also fell to the ground.
Charlotte was dumbstruck, feeling as if her heart was completely shattered, never expecting that even such an opportunity had now been lost.
It’s over…
Deep down she was acutely aware that their teacher, now bereft of the Forbidden rare artifact, no longer had any chance to resist the powerful “Magic Wolf,” and thus the road of these rebels had come to an end.
They would not succeed in their revenge, leave their names in history, or save the people of Cyart. Instead, their bodies would simply be thrown into a stinking ditch.
“Well, this time the mission was perfectly accomplished, wasn’t it? Showing restraint isn’t easy because my power lies in ‘Destruction’ and ‘Destruction’ on a grand scale…” Old Dog said calmly.
“That old man and the girl should both be alive, be careful Carol!”
Just as Charlotte was about to pass out, she suddenly saw a man descending from the sky, and it was indeed the Rhea person who had agreed to meet them there.
He was a tall and thin male dressed in a white tailcoat and wearing a pocket watch, with distinctly half-orc ears.
Charlotte was completely stunned.
That man had finally arrived!
He was supposed to be the Enforcer prepared to assassinate Queen Peggy, but he appeared completely covered in blood as if he had just suffered a fierce battle, and intense, scorching steam burst out all around him.
Some of the less powerful Extraordinary Exponents in the Black Tide immediately retreated with screams of pain, their bodies scorched, but thankfully the heat was soon neutralized by Old Dog’s power of austere winter.
“High-level Transmutation! Hahaha, not a bad powerhouse! An attack with the heat of steam instead of flame?” With a formidable enemy suddenly appearing, Old Dog also narrowed his eyes, growing even more serious.
But even if it was a strong Extraordinary Exponent of high-level Transmutation, it didn’t matter.
He was not only a 4th Rank “Hand of Austere Winter,” but also a high-level Transmutation Bloodline Knight; even if the enemy was a powerful Extraordinary Exponent of high-level Transmutation, they were no match for him!
The key still lay with the Forbidden rare artifact…
Because of the scalding steam, the ice on Charlotte’s body was completely melted, but she was too severely injured to flee any further, merely collapsing weakly on the ground.
Just then her teacher suddenly used that formidable Forbidden rare artifact, making Old Dog roar furiously. Afterward, the old man trembled as he picked up Charlotte and fled into the deep darkness.
That was the last scene she perceived before completely losing consciousness in her teacher’s arms.
…
Pain, my head hurts so much, my body feels terrible.
Mom, sister, father…
Charlotte had a dream in her deep slumber, a remote, hazy, and fantastical dream where she was still that innocent, carefree little girl.
Her stern father, her gentle mother, her kind sister, and other family members were all alive and well as if they were about to host a barbecue feast at the manor, and everyone was very happy!
The warmth of the sun, the soft air, the fragrance of flowers and grass made Charlotte gradually forget reality.
Reverting to a child, she was very happy, so ecstatically happy, running around in the garden of the manor, only to find herself inexplicably shedding tears.
“Do we really have to do this? If we get discovered, our entire family will be done for, and even if we could succeed with the first step, what then…”
Suddenly, she saw her parents whispering in a corner, her mother’s face full of anxiety as if weighed down with worries, but her father’s eyes held a determined resolve.
That look in her father’s eyes frightened Charlotte!
“Don’t worry, I’ve thought it all through. In a little while, I’ll secretly send you all abroad, to immigrate to Carnia…” her father said in a low voice.
Father, mother, what were they discussing?
Despite not knowing what they were talking about, Charlotte felt a strong fear deep inside, an immense terror and despair, giving her an intense impulse to run over and scream for them not to do it, desperately wanting to stop her determined father.
However, she couldn’t move her feet at all!
Why can’t I move?
Father, mother…
At that moment, Charlotte suddenly widened her eyes, seeing a man standing not far behind her parents, clad in a black robe and wearing an Iron Mask.
He…
