~Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.~


    ~Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!~


    ~Vrrrmmmmmm!


    The saga continued until finally, the gang had made it past thest defence.


    And only after stepping into the innermost sector of the estate, did they freeze in shock.


    This... This... This...


    "Grandmaster. What is going on?"


    ~Awoooo!


    Everyone''s heart skipped a beat after hearing the far cry of wolves from heaven knows where.


    But it didn''t make any sense!


    The Gia estate was far from the famous Wuphil mountain or other forest regions. So how was it possible that they could hear it?


    Dorian nced at the magnified moon for a bit before diverting his attention again.


    Sure enough. Tonight was filled with power. And even though ordinary people couldn''t see it, when Dorian looked at the moon, he saw somethingpletely different from what they saw.


    Butler Sheng looked at the scene deeply.


    The entire ce was too quiet and silent, with not even a single sound from an owl or even a bee buzzing around.


    But that wasn''t the real reason why his hairs at the back of his neck were all standing at attention. Zhulyn also saw the seven and was gravely disturbed as well. How could he not be?


    Countless bodies were lying around in strange positions.


    And after cracking down and vigntly cing his hands on their neck pulse, he couldn''t help releasing a deep sigh from relief.


    Good. They were still alive and breathing. But the strange thing was that they had all fallen into some deep slumber all at once.


    The scene they were witnessing was too hard to describe.


    Countless bodiesy around every path and region, making them all stand on high alert.


    Who knew if someone or something would sneak attack them and put them to sleep just like these people?


    Instantly, they all took out a talisman paper in one hand and a gun in another... Whether human or creature, it was best for them to be prepared.


    .


    As ever, the overly animated Raulin began moving as if he were Indiana Jones or something.


    He stepped over several guards, looking for ces to put his legs without smashing the bodies.


    That''s right. He didn''t want to smash the faces of these Gia guards.


    Who knew if they would get up and bite him like zombies? He had watched too many movies to know that in situations like this, don''t try to poke the Lion and avoid stepping on people... Even if they looked dead, asleep or even paralyzed.


    Raulin''s imagination was just too great. But he wasn''t wrong in taking precautions.


    The entire scene looked like the enactment of sleeping beauty... Except, the focus was more on the Kingdom people who were put asleep while waiting for the princess to finally wake up.


    There were some sleeping while leaning in the walls, and there were also some sleeping on board and positions too.


    F***! How can someone sleep in a squatting position?


    Raulin didn''t know how long that person had been put to slumber like that. But he was sure that once the person woke up again, their knees would''ve been killed to death by them.


    Sigh... How tragic. And so young too.


    .


    "Faster."


    "Right." The rest responded before picking up their pace, leaping over the many sleeping beauties scattered around.


    They finally ascended the grand stone stairs at the front and passed through the open doors vigntly.


    And the moment they stepped in, they were immediately bombarded with a sort of chilly cold that made them shiver uncontrobly.


    The further in they went, the colder it became.


    No. The cold this time was fiercer and more prating than what he had felt during the other battles.


    Butler Sheng looked at the winding hallways and felt a little shaken.


    There was something big in here!


    ~Boom!


    Dorian began throwing talismans on any closed doors, forcing his way through without mercy.


    Butler Sheng didn''t know how Dorian knew the way or even knew that they were supposed to stop at the building they did.


    But the fact that the cold air was growing more and more choking, showed that they had indeede to the right path.


    And when everyone was still immersed in their thoughts, Dorian squinted his forward eyes as if havingser vision: "Assignments: Raulin. Gather the survivors and protect them if need be. Zhulyn. Set up the formation ording to the instructions."


    Zhulyn nodded diligently while tapping his breast pocket that had everything he needed: "Yes, Grandmaster. I will do my best."


    "Mmm." Dorian hummed before focusing his attention on Butler Sheng: "Protect him while he sets it up."


    "Yes, Grandmaster... But what about you? I fear that this time, we might be facing something more disastrous than before."


    Oh?


    Doran nced at Butler Sheng briefly and was once again impressed by him. Good observation skills and a calm mind even at dangerous times.


    <o>,m Butler Sheng looked at Dorian a little worriedly. Should he volunteer to assist him? After all, his gut was telling him that today''s matter wouldn''t be smooth. So how could he not be concerned?</o>


    Of course, Dorian understood his worries and couldn''t help smirking dangerously.


    Assistance?


    Heh. He did have to go all out today... But, when did he ever insinuate that going all out meant being overwhelmed?


    In his opinion, it was just a little more troublesome.


    .


    Dorian''s gang continued advancing through thebyrinth hallways, moving past several twists and turns at every point.


    And within the room where the feasting was taking ce, the little girl suddenly paused her bone-crunching, before revealing a frightening grin.


    How interesting.


    So the world wasn''t so clueless after all.


    For them to walk amidst her sleeping enchantment showed that they did have some level of skill.


    Too bad the smell from them was just too weak.


    The little girl''s head suddenly elongated like a giraffe, twisting and knotting in glee.


    Hahahhahaha! More food for her!


    And right on cue, the doors suddenly opened.


    ~Boom!


    The gang was here.
