Chapter 98: Into the Darkness

That was a little girl with pretty brown hair.She was wearing a clean white dress, innocent and lovely, completely at odds with the debauchery and decadence of the Dreaming Salon.

For some reason, when Charlotte saw her, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"Who are you?"

Charlotte asked in a deep voice.

"Master, who are you talking to?"

Sebastian's curious voice came from beside Charlotte.

Huh?

Charlotte glanced at the flame elf beside her, furrowing her brow slightly.

"You didn't see her?"

She asked.

"Her? Who?"

Sebastian sounded puzzled.

"A little girl in a white dress."

Charlotte said.

But just after she finished speaking, there was no one where the little girl had appeared.

Was it another illusion?

Charlotte's brow furrowed deeper.

At that moment, there was a commotion outside the hall, and many of the masked nobles who were enjoying themselves began to dress and head towards the outer hall.

"Master, the auction segment of the Dreaming Salon is about to begin. The organizers will have someone on hand to explain. This is our best chance to launch an attack and expose the mastermind behind it all!"

Sebastian reminded in a low voice.

The Dreaming Salon was just relatively secretive, and its highest defensive strength would not exceed the Second Tier Silver Moon. Even though there were many defensive forces here, having witnessed Charlotte's previous power, Sebastian was extremely confident in the girl.

However, Charlotte hesitated when she glanced in the direction where the little girl had disappeared.

Having seen the illusions just now, Charlotte was certain that there was indeed involvement from the Blood Demon Cult behind the Dreaming Salon. Sᴇaʀᴄh the ɴøvᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

There was no doubt that the hooded figures who slaughtered the girls were dressed just like her grandmother, who had tried to sacrifice her cheap soul at the Castell Manor.

Even the corrupt cross they held was exactly the same as the one in the hands of the Old Countess Castell!

They were undoubtedly members of the Blood Demon Cult!

Clearly, the Dreaming Salon was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

The gathering of debauchery, abduction of people... These wicked acts were not just the backstage manipulation of corrupt nobles but seemed more like a sinister ritual being held through the Dreaming Salon.

The atrocities committed by the masked nobles against the girls were just the beginning.

In the illusions she saw, the girls who had been ravaged were chased and killed by the Blood Demon Cultists in despair and fear, and then bled... That was probably the real purpose of the ritual.

Sacrifices...

Every girl in the Dreaming Salon was a sacrifice for a mysterious evil ritual!

They were first awakened to immense fear and despair in the ravages, and then, in pain and fear, they were slaughtered as sacrifices...

And thinking about how many years the Dreaming Salon had harmed so many girls, Charlotte felt a chill down her spine...

Corruption breeds darkness, despair breeds resentment.

When she entered the Dreaming Salon just now, what she saw was the overwhelming aura of death, and the power represented by the gathering of such a large aura was the most terrifying.

"Master, the auction is about to begin. It would be more conspicuous for us to stay here."

Sebastian kindly reminded.

Charlotte nodded slightly and turned to leave. However, just as she turned, she saw a flash of white dress again.

Charlotte's figure stopped abruptly.

She turned back, looking towards the direction where the girl had disappeared.

That was the end of the hall.

There, a tightly closed iron gate hung.

Charlotte's gaze hardened slightly.

"What's over there?"

She asked.

"Over there? I don't know... I haven't been in the Dreaming Salon for too long. I couldn't resist my impulse after seeing this hall last time."

Sebastian said somewhat embarrassedly.

Charlotte remained silent.

In fact, listening to the screams of the girls in the hall, she also wanted to end this filthy den immediately.

But she knew that if she didn't uncover the true secret behind the Dreaming Salon, if she didn't uncover the conspiracy of the Blood Demon Cult... Even if one Dreaming Salon was destroyed, there would be a second one.

Charlotte's gaze fell on the iron gate.

In her heart, she had a feeling that the mysterious little girl who had just appeared was telling her to go there.

"We won't go to the auction hall. Let's go there and take a look."

Charlotte shook her head, looking at the door at the end of the hall.

With that, she took the lead and walked towards the iron gate.

Sebastian didn't hesitate at all and followed suit.

The two quickly arrived at the iron gate.

However, they were soon stopped by two masked attendants.

"Esteemed guests, this area is not open to the public."

They exuded a powerful aura, both being Starry Sky extraordinary individuals!

Charlotte glanced at Sebastian, who understood immediately.

Sebastian smiled slightly, looking somewhat apologetic.

"Is that so? My apologies... I was a bit pressed, and I thought this was the entrance to the washroom."

"You're mistaken, sir. The washroom is in front of the hall."

The attendant said respectfully.

"Oh, I see. Thank you."

Sebastian smiled slightly and then gracefully turned away.

The two attendants immediately relaxed.

But the next moment, Sebastian suddenly turned back, his hands forming claws as he grabbed their necks directly.

His speed was extremely fast, and the strength as a peak Silver Moon was far beyond the reach of the two Starry Sky extraordinaries. Under the sneak attack, the two attendants didn't even react, and even Charlotte couldn't see his movements clearly.

With a crack sound, Sebastian easily snapped their necks, and their bodies slowly slumped down, not even making a sound.

Damn!

Charlotte was instantly shocked by Sebastian's combat power.

When she watched him fight the Great Knight before, she didn't have much of a sense of reality, just feeling his destructive power was impressive. But standing beside him now, she realized... he was truly powerful!

Killing two Starry Sky extraordinaries was just like slaughtering chickens.

This also sounded an alarm bell for Charlotte. If she were to face a Silver Moon alone... At critical moments, she should not overestimate herself, and when necessary, she should not hesitate to unleash her True Ancestor's Liberation if needed.

The difference in tier... was terrifying.

Sebastian's movements were quick.

After killing the two extraordinaries, he kicked open the iron gate directly, dragged the two unlucky guys in, and then summoned black flames quickly, burning their bodies to ashes.

His movements were smooth, obviously not the first time he had done this.

Looking at Charlotte's somewhat strange gaze, Sebastian smiled and said.

"Just being careful and leaving no trace to delay their discovery as much as possible, and also... let us disguise our identity a bit, it will make things easier."

Charlotte:...

She felt that she had been reckless enough tonight.

But obviously, Sebastian was even more reckless!

But it didn't matter.

Tonight, she was here to make a scene at the Dreaming Salon.

Just...

"Why is there only one set of clothes left?"

Looking at Sebastian in his attendant disguise, Charlotte asked.

"This... Master, you're not very tall, so you can't wear it."

Sebastian said carefully.

Charlotte:...

She felt that if she was short was the reason, just say it, why beat around the bush?

She wouldn't get angry, promise!

"Besides... You're fine like this. As long as you follow me, no one will suspect your identity. Of course... it would be even better if you could disguise yourself."

Sebastian added respectfully.

"Disguise?"

Charlotte's heart stirred.

"Let's forget it, it's too offensive to you."

Sebastian hesitated for a moment, shaking his head.

Charlotte:...

She hated guys who only spoke halfway.

With the iron gate closed behind her, their conversation ended.

Charlotte put her mind back and turned to look around.

This was a long staircase leading downwards. The surroundings were dim, with only dim candles on the walls on both sides.

And when Charlotte looked towards the bottom of the stairs, she saw the white dress flash again.

Her heart moved, saying.

"Let's keep going."

The two walked down the stairs and soon reached the bottom.

Before them was a long corridor, with dark rooms on either side like prison cells, and some figures in black robes could be seen patrolling constantly.

Blood Demon Cultists!

Charlotte's gaze sharpened instantly.

But soon, she was attracted by the cells on both sides of the corridor.

In the dim candlelight, Charlotte saw many girls imprisoned in the cells.

Her gaze quickly focused.

Because she saw a familiar figure in one of the cells... Several girls dressed in Castell maid uniforms!

They were her people.

And when she took advantage of the dim light to see the shackles worn on the girls' necks, she suddenly realized what kind of disguise Sebastian meant by...
