Chapter 511: Howlett Manor

Chapter 511: Howlett Manor



As the battle raged on outside, Adam silently made his way inside the abandoned manor.

He had completely concealed himself such that even the werewolves nearby couldn't sense his presence despite having heightened senses.

Furthermore, it also helped that their attention was completely focused on Gore and his familiar.

However, Adam was not out of danger yet.

Last time when he had come here, he had astutely noticed that there was yet another presence deep inside the manor other than the four werewolves.

Thus, he was constantly on guard for any incoming attacks. Despite having planned

extensively for this mission, this was the most he could do given the time and resources at his disposal.

The horde of wolves was taken care of by the Magi and mercenaries, and the werewolves were taken care of by Gore.

Adam had to only take care of the last hidden danger inside the house and uncover the secrets that lay within.Gét latest novel chapters on nov(e)lbj/n(.)c/om

The air grew colder and a lingering sense of dread washed over him as he stepped inside. He expanded his Sphere of Resonance to the maximum output and scanned the interior of the

house.

He found that there were no other lifeforms inside other than him. This caused him to squint his eyes, thinking to himself, I'm sure I had sensed another presence last time...

Where did they go?

But there was one more thing that caught him by surprise. In the basement of the manor, there was a certain area beyond which he couldn't sense anything with his spiritual powers!

Impossible! This has never happened before! There's actually something that my Sphere of Resonance cannot see through?!

In his state of shock, he stepped on the floorboard, causing it to groan and send echoes throughout the hall.

Damn it! He cursed inwardly.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

The smell of damp earth and rot intensified as he descended the stairs. The walls on both sides were lined with even more claw marks, some so deep that they seemed to have been made in a frenzy.

Could the werewolves have been summoned by the Howlett Patriarch from down here? Adam thought anxiously.

He finally arrived at the basement. The scene that greeted him caused his heart to pound wildly inside his chest.

Bones were littered all across the floor!

In a corner of the basement, he found a large makeshift den containing a pile of rags, leaves, and remnants of clothing, all piled up together, stained with dark patches of dried blood. There was a lingering warmth in the air that he could feel. It served as a faint reminder that this place had recently been alive with the presence of creatures that were neither fully human

nor beast.

Is this where those creatures sleep? He thought. Truly animalistic behavior!

On one side was a wooden table where all sorts of books, scrolls, and parchment papers were kept in a disorganized manner.

Finally, on the opposite side of the table was a red door.

Adam's gaze shifted to the door, and his breathing became ragged. After all, his Sphere of Resonance couldn't detect anything beyond this red door!

I'm sure of it, he thought. The root of everything that is happening in the town... the answer lies beyond this door!

He walked toward the door with determined steps, knowing full well that the dangerous presence he had sensed on his last visit could very well be on the other side of this door.

Adam's eyes flashed with a cold light as he revolved the mana inside his body and reached out for the door knob.

But suddenly he paused in his footsteps as his gaze involuntarily landed on an open notebook on the wooden table.

With a sense of unease growing inside his chest, he lowered his reached-out hand, turned around, and walked toward the table instead.

He closely looked at the open book.

It was a journal.

A journal written by none other than the patriarch of the Howlett Family!
