up close and personal with the young man that Kaeus realized this person was just as abstract as his works, utterly inscrutable in terms of whether his mind was simple or fathomless.Caius hesitated f...Chapter 144: Lance Said, Let’s Just Eat.

In the dense forest on the hillside outside Lichtenstein Castle, plumes of black smoke billowed into the sky like a giant black dragon, roaring its presence.

Mars spread across the canopy, expanding, as if it were going to paint the entire forest redder than the sunset.

Behind the large glass windows of the hall, all conversation ceased instantly. Everyone's faces were etched with astonishment as they stared intently in the direction of the forest, trying to comprehend the inexplicable changes occurring there.

The setting sun, filtering through the colorful stained glass on the side, cast irregular shadows on their faces, making their expressions even more enigmatic and hazy.

Although their eyes darted between the black smoke and the jungle, filled with questions and worry, no one spoke. In the end, they all looked to Lance.

Could it be

Was all of this within the lawyer's expectations

"I'm really impressed by the both of you..."

Huperlyan has already reacted.

Frey, that idiot, didn't leave at all. He stayed in the forest and set up traps for a whole day!

In the forest terrain, Freya faced the heavily wounded and destroyed Saintess one-on-one. With Freya prepared in the shadows, the destruction of the Saintess was apparent. The Saintess deserved her fate.

As the people gradually came to understand the situation, they suddenly rekindled their hope of victory!

In the corner under the rose window.

Moments later, the expression of the High Priestess of the Church of Rebirth froze.

This sudden change left her baffled, yet her heart beat wildly.

"How, how is that possible..."

She quickly counted the number of people in the church, making sure everything was in order.

Strong confusion and unease raced through her mind.

Suddenly, the goddess official seemed to remember something and her eyes widened in astonishment.

There is still one person missing.

That jerk who messed with their minds from the start and disappeared off the map!

If this is just a scam, then what about all the turmoil and humiliation I've endured today

I haven't had time to process the emotions of my impending collapse.

Immediately, the church priestess's face contorted in terror as she opened her mouth wide, her expression filled with despair.

"Ah ah…"

She saw that the Shadow World had been updated with a new message —

The traitor Adeline is dead. The Blood Lord, Count Palokas, will arrive at the Honing Empire border in approximately six hours. Coordinates: Lichtenstein Castle.

Suddenly.

"Do you know what you've done! She's the Holy Maiden of Destruction!!"

The goddess roared in a voice that shattered the heavens,

Now, we all die together!!!

Originally, she still had something to rely on. According to the mechanisms of the Shadow World, once a traitor was killed, it would attract the Blood Count Earl. At least, she was sure she could survive and return to the real world.

But now, with the arrival of the vampire count, a massacre will begin!

Because their two bloodline familiars' mission objectives and story backgrounds are, in essence, those of a rebel against the Blood Lord!

And at the same time.

The goddess was not far away.

The noble mage girl, bound and gagged, seemed to lose the last flicker of hope in her eyes, succumbing to despair with a hint of resignation.

"The blood clan... Is it ultimately an inescapable nightmare..."

Her lips trembled slightly, as if accepting a fate she couldn't resist, yet hating it with all her might.

……

In the sanctuary, the mood of everyone else turned icy cold at this moment. Even the most ruthless executioners slumped to the ground helplessly.

For a moment, their emotions were like riding a roller coaster.

I just figured out why Lance was so calm earlier—it turns out he knew all along that the detective was actually lurking in the jungle.

Before the joy could even settle in, it was as if five thunderbolts struck me all at once!

The good news is that the destruction of the Holy Maiden has been resolved.

The bad news is they all have to die tonight.

These two are truly ruthless, treating the Destroyer Saintess like a plaything. In the end, even if the crazed Destroyer Saintess couldn't defeat the detectives ambushing her, she would choose to go all out and drag everyone down with her.

It's not surprising that we lost now.

I had high hopes before, so I'm a little disappointed now.

With the last glimmer of hope extinguished, a sense of despondency hung heavy over the team.

Well then.

"I've done my best."

"No matter the outcome, I have no regrets."

"Anyway, when facing the followers of Revivalism, no one was afraid of death."

The holy hall fell suddenly silent, weapons finally weary.

The mournful sunset seemed to foreshadow their lives, burning through their pupils before crashing down hard.

One another's encouragement was like a final farewell, and it also lived up to the effort of this day. Everyone had a sense of relief as if they were going to die bravely.

Facing the arrival of the seventh-rank Earl tonight and a full five nights, they simply couldn't come up with any way to win.

This time it's really over.

……

……

Wait, what does Lanchi's expression mean

Perhaps it was a habit, but the challengers in the hall couldn't help but look at Ranch.

He still sipped his highball with that same nonchalance!

What are you looking at me for Eat first.

Larry looked at everyone confused, only pointing to the long banquet table as if waiting for everyone to eat together for a long time.

The title of this shadow world's setting reads "The Last Supper".

It's clearly a tourism, food and beverage themed world. What else would you do here besides eat

"Could there be another way..."

Everyone stared in amazement at the same direction.

The setting sun, streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows several meters high, slanted across Ranch's body. He sat leisurely on the sofa, his figure more dazzling than the sun itself.

"There are still six hours. Hunting down a count isn't as easy as it sounds, is it"

Lanche grinned, a confident smile spreading across his face.

It's quite like having the unshakeable certainty of wielding lightning in the halls of Purgatory Academy!

……

At this moment, in the Jerla Memorial Plaza of the Ikte College, all the students' expressions were the same as those of the challengers in the painting.

It's unbelievable yet hard to believe.

The Seventh-Ranked Blood Clan Earl.

There are still five nights left.

Even if all of them combined could stand against a top-tier Destruction Saintess of the Sixth Rank, the Seventh Rank Earl is definitely not a terrifying being that their mere human bodies could withstand!

The higher the level, the greater the difference in strength between each level.

It is said that Lance's epic masterpiece on the card maker registration exam... was a little sun.

"That's just a fake sun, it has no solar power!"

"

The 'Radiant Virtue' card's Gaze of Glory ability is a versatile and practical one, but considering its indiscriminate nature and high mana cost, it falls short as an orange epic.

"

"I can't bear to look."

The atmosphere on the square had shifted from its previous uproar to a deathly silence.

Many students, as if they could not bear this oppressive and desperate scene, began to leave from the Gerald Memorial Square.

This seemed like a tragedy that was destined to happen in six hours.

The teachers' meeting room must be extremely heavy at this moment.

Because the Ictereus Academy is about to lose three of its most promising new students tonight.

Check out my friend's book!
