Chapter 526: Chapter 388: The Lord and Another Princess_1

Effortlessly crossing over the gently meandering protective city river in front of the ancient castle, Leo Ray noticed.

At this point, the gates of the castle had been hoisted high, completely blocking the passage between the castle and the outside world.

However, the huge and heavy metal sluice gate had been damaged, losing a large portion of its original function as a barrier.

“My Lord, someone has indeed attacked this grand duke’s mansion,” Gideon Black adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and bowed slightly.

“Let’s go in and take a look.” Gazing at the damaged city gate, Leo Ray nodded his head as his subordinates began to walk towards the castle.

Upon approaching the massive metal sluice gate, Leo Ray discovered

The bottom part of the heavy metal gate had been broken, leaving a hole large enough for one person to pass through, wide enough for two or three people to walk side by side.

Upon closer inspection, the edges of the hole showed evidence of melting.

In some places, black smoke still rose, accompanied by an unpleasant stench.

“My Lord, this is very powerful corrosive magic.”

Scarlett’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as she eyed the wax-like melting within the hole’s edges.

Then she said, “It seems our opponent is not an easy one after all.

Corrosive-type magic, like petrification magic, is one of the taboo skills.

Deepening its study often requires the use of extremely cruel means.

For this reason, users of taboo skills are often shunned and attacked by other powerful beings.

As a result, few people delve into these skills, and those who do are extremely difficult opponents.”

“That’s true, but unfortunately, we specialize in dealing with such difficult opponents.”

With an icy smile, Leo Ray muttered to himself, “That being said, the last time I encountered an opponent who used corrosion spells was the Goblin Shaman in the underground square of Dragon’s Lair.”

Thinking of this, a sharp look crossed Leo Ray’s face, and he spoke softly to his subordinates, “In that case, let’s take a good look at who is causing trouble here.”

Under Leo Ray’s guidance, the eight people hidden by the invisibility cloak entered the ancient and massive castle.

Upon entering, they were immediately confronted by transformed werewolf soldiers in large numbers.

The hall occupied by the soldiers was a complete mess.

Claw marks scarred the thick stone walls, broken metal candlesticks and Light Crystal Stones were scattered everywhere.

Even the chandelier hanging from the ceiling had been violently torn down, leaving behind a scattering of luminescent fragments.

At a glance, the nearly hundred brawny figures with wolf heads and human bodies wandered aimlessly in this cold and dark space, their low growls resounding endlessly.

The pale moonlight filtered in through the gate’s holes and the castle windows, casting sinister, fanged shadows.

All in all, the atmosphere was eerie, and the temperature seemed to have dropped significantly with it.

“It feels like a medieval castle scene from a movie.

Only difference is, real danger lurks at every corner here.” Thinking to himself, Leo Ray continued to observe intently.

The aura of these soldiers was significantly stronger than that of ordinary soldiers outside.

Almost all of them had reached the Tier-2 peak, and their black-gray armors appeared much more refined.

“It seems these soldiers may be the more elite Tier-2 guard corps stationed here.”

Realizing this, Leo Ray gestured to his subordinates to proceed while he sensed the violent energy in the air.

With nimble footsteps, it took only a short while for Leo Ray and his party to pass through the area silently.

At present, even Leo Ray’s personal strength had reached the Tier-3 Eight-Star level among the eight members of their team.

As a result, despite being more perceptive than average Tier-2 powerhouses, the werewolf soldiers were still unable to detect their presence.

After passing through the castle’s hall, Leo Ray and his party entered a spacious corridor.

In the long corridor, a few scattered transformed werewolves lurked, including both armored soldiers and servants and chefs dressed in distinctive clothing.

The only thing they had in common was the exceptionally fierce aura emanating from every werewolf.

Just then, a series of painful screams reached the ears of Leo Ray and his companions.

Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded to his subordinates and quickened his pace.

Following the sounds into a smaller hall, Leo Ray noticed

At the end of the hall, a new path had emerged.

A large group of transformed werewolf soldiers danced and prowled back and forth, seemingly wanting to break through the entrance.

However, each time a werewolf soldier approached the entrance, it was blocked by the tightly closed silver metal door.
