247 Chapter 246

“Can you move?” Silas asked as he looked at Rufus with his right shoulder wrapped in cloth.

Rufus nodded his head, but his face was pale because he lost a lot of blood. They had no healer, and they were afraid that Rufus wouldn’t make it out alive with that wound. He wasn’t like Gunnar, Vincze, or Sven, he didn’t even have high recovery and resistance to help him.

“Just lay down there, and try to endure until midnight,” Agnez said as she tried to put on her shirt and looked at Rufus. “Gunnar can heal you up instantly, so don’t worry and just focus on staying alive,”

Agnez had to cut the sleeves so the sword could get in easily. She then put the military coat over her shoulder.

“Agnez, thank you,” Asmond approached Agnez who was sitting on the comfy seat.

“No need,” Agnez replied as she grabbed something from the floor. “Here, you can use my sword for now until you can get your sword back. Don’t break it,” Agnez tossed the sword at Asmond.

“Don’t get me wrong. I’m not being kind, I don’t want you to drag us down,” Agnez stared at Dainsleif in her hand.

“I know, thank you,” Asmond replied as he looked at Dainsleif, and was wondering what was wrong with that sword because he knew that she couldn’t let the sword go. More importantly, that sword could withstand his sword and didn’t bend or break at all.

“They’re coming!” Sven shouted.

Asmond turned around and looked at everyone. “Let’s disarm them and find out about this Sillian World from them. Try not to kill them,” Asmond said.

“I need to kill one so I can sheathe this sword,” Agnez said as she walked past Asmond. “Also, Lilly already knows everything about this world, so there’s no need to ask them anything,” Agnez continued

“Oh, okay,” Asmond said with a bit confused.

Agnez stood right in front of the door as she heard dozens of footsteps coming from the hallway from both sides. The moment the door was busted open, she swung her sword at whoever was in front of her and cut off their heads before they could react.

A weird-looking gun was pointed at Agnez and the guy shot it at her face, but she grabbed it with her left hand like it was nothing. Sven swung his scythe down and cut off the guy’s wrist, and then kicked him out of the courtroom.

Vincze and the others started attacking them, but not killing them as Asmond ordered. Gunnar charged to the front with his shield ready and pushed the enemy out of the courtroom, then bashed them with it.

“I think we both can hold them off,” Enma said as she protected the other side.

“Yeah, but watch your head! A bullet in the head and you’re dead,” Gunnar replied as he knocked down dozens of men in front of him.

“Agnez, I think it’s better if we leave this place. I know a secret passage in this building that will lead us straight to the tower of grieve and there we can be at ease without having trouble fighting them,” Lillith said as she kicked the guy’s head who pretended to be unconscious.

Agnez looked at Asmond and raised her eyebrows.

“Alright, let’s do that. If it’s safer, then it’s better for us, especially for Rufus,” Asmond said. “Lead the way, Lillith,”

“Glen! Carry Rufus, the rest of you follow Lillith with me,” Asmond said to his team, and then he looked at Agnez. “I think we need to stop them from chasing us,” Asmond continued.

“Just say kill, what’s so hard about it, but I’m on it,” Agnez said as she walked out of the courtroom. “Time to kill, Vincze, Sven, let’s go,”

The moment Asmond and the others left the courtroom, all the enemies were already laying on the ground dead with a pool of blood on the floor. They were amazed and confused at the same time that those three could kill all of them so fast, and there was no scream or anything.

They all followed Lillith into the hallway and then entered an empty room with nothing inside. She pulled a single brick on the wall, and she put her right hand inside. The ground in the middle of the room started to move, and there was a secret passage to enter.

They entered the secret passage and left it open because Lillith knew those people didn’t dare to enter the passage.

“So, do you know that man’s name?” Asmond asked Lillith who walked in the front on her own.

“Sibrand, he’s like the mayor of this city. He runs this whole city and that knight that with him, he’s his personal guard, but I didn’t have enough time to look deeper into his memories about that knight,” Lillith answered.

“I see, what about this tower of grieve?” Asmond asked.

“It’s a place for people who tried to revolt against Sibrand. It’s the same as the previous world, they tried to exterminate the threat, but instead of killing them, they used some kind of bell that made people who listened to it start to suffer from their worst memories when rang,” Lillith answered. “There’s also a group of people that came to this world, and they are imprisoned in the tower,”

“I see, then it’s better to safe them as well,” Asmond replied.

“Anyway, what’s with all these bells? I feel like ” Sven asked.

“Not sure, but I guess I will find out about it more from Sibrand’s memories because those people know nothing,” Lillith answered. “Anyway, we are almost there, and it’s better for you guys to stay here or you will get hypnotized by the bells,” Lillith said as she looked at Arum and the others.

Asmond looked at them and nodded his head. Agnez, Lillith, and Asmond went deeper into the tunnel while the rest of them guarded the entrance in case the enemy decided to chase them.

Asmond came back his own half an hour later.

“Alright, everything is clear now, and we can rest in there until midnight,” Asmond said.

(In the Asmodeus Tower)

“Remember when the last time I told you that we might be fighting vampires after killing gargoyles and ghouls in the previous world? I think this world somehow resembles a world where a vampire would love to live in,” Rozan said as he watched a giant castle on a mountain.

“The clouds are thick, the moon is shining brightly, and there’s a big river and forest surrounding the mountain. I think you might be right,” Jeanne replied as she looked at the long, meandering river that went into the sea, and felt a sense of peace and calm from above the cliff.

They heard a faint howling in the far distance, and then they all looked toward where the howling came from.

“Is it a wolf or a werewolf?” Rozan asked.

“I don’t think we know what a werewolf sounds like,” Jeanne replied as she squinted her eyes. “Anyway, let’s just play it carefully and be aware of your surroundings because anything can be dangerous,” Jeanne said as she unsheathed her sword.

The moment Jeanne’s sword reflected the moonlight, they heard sobbing from the forest. They all saw a woman floating in a white sleeping dress. For Jeanne, Rozan, Nagy, and Edith, it was nothing because they were used to it, but the Awakeners that they brought, all of them were scared shitless.

“I guess she might tell you about this world, so why don’t you go and approach her?” Rozan asked quietly as he leaned his head toward Jeanne.

Jeanne walked toward the spirit so slowly and carefully as she sheathed her sword.

They watched Jeanne having a conversation with the spirit, and at some point, the spirit pointed at the castle. The spirit started sobbing louder and louder, and the spirit then flew away into the forest and disappeared into the darkness.

Jeanne walked back as she kept staring at the castle.

“Alright, turns out the woman was the daughter of the duke that owned the castle. They all were slaughtered, torn apart, and eaten,” Jeanne explained as she looked at everyone. “You’re right, Rozan, there’s a werewolf in this place, and that howling was one of them. There’s a rumor about a man who drinks blood as well,” Jeanne exhaled deeply as she stared at Rozan.

“Clessirea World, this is going to be an interesting one,” Rozan said as he looked at the castle.
