Chapter 54: Calm Hunters

Translator: Kris Liu Editor:

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 . ”

However, it was not the most important reason . Actually, Lucien did not have enough power to make the house collapse completely . Compared with a bridge of simpler structure, the structure of a house was more complicated, and its vibration frequency also varied . Lucien could only follow one of them . Therefore, destroying a bridge might be within Lucien’s ability, but definitely not a house .

The power stunned Philosopher, Smile and White Honey . They never saw a sorcerer who could cast such a powerful spell without using any reagent . Now they had no doubt toward the mysterious and profound sorcerer, Mr . Professor .

White Honey was the first one who calmed down among the three . With the help of a magic item, she started tracking the crowd,

“Evil light detected . Fifteen meters away from the nearest window . We move one meter to the left to better release the spells,” she calmly said .

Philosopher quickly moved to the left and said to Smile, “Owl, cast Homan’s Oscillation . ”

Homan Oscillation was also a sonic attack magic, which used high decibel to hurt people . In the most serious case, it could even take a person’s life . Other people nearby would get hurt in their eardrums and might black out .

“Then you use Silence Wall, Philosopher,” Smile also answered calmly, “To prevent the night watchers from noticing us . ”

“Merged with a low-rank demon shadow . Senior-rank knight squire level . Five meters away . ” White Honey reported, “No acid and fire magic . I’ll use Arrow . ”

“One meter . Get ready . ” she said .

Within just a few seconds, the first round of the attack plan had been made . That was the first time Lucien saw how the well-trained apprentices fought .

In order to get out of the house as soon as possible, Laurent roughly pushed the guests in front of him away . In just a few seconds, Laurent came to the window, hit the glass with his body and jumped out of the house .

At this time, a loud blast stroke his head, as if he was hit by a thunder . All of a sudden, his head started buzzing and he felt bad nausea and dizziness . Losing his balance, he almost fell on the ground with his head .

Before Laurent could see anything in the darkness clearly, a metal arrow directly shot in his right eye . His blood was darker than common people, with a special smell of sulphur . The great pain made him break out in a frightful yell but his voice was blocked by Silence Wall . Laurent finally realized the fact that he got attacked .

However, it was too late . The second metal arrow flew directly into his throat . Laurent struggled a bit and soon his body stopped moving .

Lucien couldn’t believe that killing this evil baron who had just merged with a demon was this easy . He was also very glad, since casting a spell silently cost him more power than usual, and his remaining spiritual power was only enough for using about two apprentice spells .

Beside the Baron Laurent lied several naked and half-naked women and men, all unconscious . The panicked crowd running toward other directions paid no attention to what just happened here .

Using Mage Hand, Lucien and the other three apprentices started collecting the baron’s blood . After putting three glass tubes of blood into his pockets, Lucien stood up and said to them,

“Time to go . ”

“Yes, sir . ” Philosopher, White Honey and Smile answered .

When they were about to leave, all of a sudden a man jumped out of the house from the nearest window like a ghost and dashed toward Lucien with a sharp dagger in his hand, aiming at Lucien’s heart!

He was waiting in the house . Now he knew it was the best chance to kill this powerful sorcerer! And he only got this single chance!
