Chapter 623: Escape and Madness

“This manor might have two spaces.”

In a narrow storage room, Lucy held up two fingers to the only remaining wizard beside her.

Brando’s expression was grave as he nodded.

“Yes, I also think so. Otherwise, we couldn’t have searched the entire manor without finding any trace of Saul and that madam.”

Brando told Lucy about the scene he saw when entering the manor and how only Saul was absent.

With an unknown number of shadow monsters outside, only by sharing intelligence could they cooperate and resolve the crisis quickly.

“If that’s the case, that little girl is the fundamental reason we lost our power and entered the manor. Maybe finding that little girl will help us recover our magic.”

Brando pressed against the storage room door listening for sounds. He hadn’t done such actions for a long time and had almost forgotten how to turn his neck to get his head to the side.

“Or we need to think of other methods. We all lost consciousness before entering here and still can’t connect to our bodies. Maybe we’re in some consciousness world.”

Brando thought of Saul’s consciousness space.

That place where he stayed only a few seconds before fearfully fleeing immediately.

“If completely immersed, waking up is very difficult.” Brando scratched his hair.

His mental power was already quite outstanding among second-rank wizards, but he still couldn’t find flaws in this world.

“With the Borderland rules’ enhancement here, we can’t break through the restrictions with our power alone.” Lucy also acknowledged this place was quite dangerous, but her expression remained relatively calm.

“Now outside are those highly corrosive shadows. Do you have other methods?” Brando was even considering knocking himself unconscious.

At this time, Lucy suddenly knelt, clasped her hands into fists, and gently pressed them under her chin.

“Thunder’s fury, shake the four seas; law’s sword, cut down evil. I, Lucy Golden Thunder, request your favor, Thunder Lord Alick’s blessing. Please grant your great power to dispel the confusion before my eyes with lightning.”

Brando watched dumbfounded from the side.

“Aren’t you a wizard?”

How could a wizard make such prayer gestures?

Lucy slowly raised her eyes and lowered her arms.

Brando noticed Lucy’s eyes suddenly emitted tiny golden lightning.

“You, you recovered magic power?”

If this could restore magic power, Brando wouldn’t mind praying to that Stargate Council Chairman Alick either!

Seeing Brando’s expression, Lucy immediately knew what he was thinking.

Since birth, she had seen too many such envious gazes.

Of course, the desire in Brando’s eyes was more naked.

“When power reaches a certain level, it becomes godlike in fools’ eyes. But my prayers differ from believers’ prayers.”

Lucy slowly stood up: “This power can’t be used casually either. Excessive use will make me lose myself and completely become my great-great-grandfather’s puppet.”

“Puppet?” Brando was shocked.

Then he noticed another term, his jaw nearly dropping: “Great-great-grandfather?”

Lucy was equally accustomed to others’ shocked expressions when first learning her identity. Expressionlessly, she spread her hands.

“Crackle…”

Dazzling electric light instantly filled the entire storage room.

Everything was completely covered by white light.

After several seconds, Brando rubbed his eyes and barely recovered his vision.

However, Miss Lucy’s figure was no longer in this small storage room.

He opened his mouth, momentarily unsure what to say.

“Wait, how did she just leave by herself? Such powerful sound effects couldn’t take one more person?”

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The electric flash commotion was too loud, alarming the devils wandering outside the door.

The wooden room door immediately rang with banging sounds!

Seeing white, pungent smoke gradually seeping through door cracks, as if something outside was corroding the walls and door panels.

Brando was too exhausted to complain. He looked around and finally pulled out an iron rake for sweeping fallen leaves from a nearby barrel.

“Sure enough, none of them are reliable!”

…

Lucy opened her eyes and found herself back outside the dim manor.

The magnificent front hall, which had faintly echoed with music, was now so quiet you could hear dust falling.

She looked around but was surprised to discover only Red-beard, Brando, and that short wizard Dulut remained outside the manor.

Blue-hair, the mummy wizard, and that detestable Kismet had all apparently awakened and left!

“When did they return?”

She wasn’t the first to return, which annoyed Lucy somewhat.

But she only bit her lip, not letting frustration continue controlling her.

She raised her hand and released several electric arcs.

“Magic power and mental strength have returned.” Lucy looked at Brando beside her and struck him in the chest with lightning.

However, Brando showed no reaction, still standing motionless on the corridor.

“Crash!”

A scattering sound came from behind. Lucy immediately turned back and was shocked to see the short wizard crumbling into hundreds of thousands of fragments falling to the ground.

“Crash!”

Another sound.

Turning back again, Lucy saw one of Brando’s arms had also turned to fragments and fallen to the ground.

A person, even a second-rank wizard, couldn’t possibly survive becoming such fragments.

“It seems that although I just left the powerless Old Days Manor, the commotion I caused put Brando in danger.”

“I must wake him!”

Lucy still had her principles. Brando had just saved her, so naturally she wouldn’t let him die in the illusion.

But his body showed no reaction to lightning whatsoever.

Lucy hesitated for half a second, then suddenly pressed her hand on Brando’s head.

“If you still can’t wake up like this, then I have no other methods.”

With a “bang,” Brando’s entire body fell backward, his forehead bearing a small charred area.

However, his body, leaning back halfway, suddenly stopped, then his waist exerted force to support him and he stood up again.

“Ha! Thank you, Miss Lucy. You’re truly kind-hearted and beautiful!”

Brando looked down and saw his shattered arm, but he didn’t mind. He moved his remaining right hand, and tremendous power immediately accumulated in his muscles and bones according to his will.

“Very good. Now we can properly play with the manor’s master.” Brando grinned savagely, as if he were the demon about to invade the manor.

Lucy, who was observing Brando’s condition, suddenly felt a twisted force coming from inside the manor.

That force seemed to tease the magic power in her body, making her blood boil. Violent and chaotic emotions quietly grew, and an extremely strong destructive desire made her chest constantly heave.

Opposite Lucy, Brando hadn’t yet noticed his smile was gradually becoming ferocious.

“Let’s go.” Brando’s eyes showed red bloodshot veins. “Let’s kill all the enemies inside!”

Lucy didn’t immediately respond to Brando. Golden electric arcs flickered again in her eyes.

Slight pain brought her sanity back slightly.

“Calm down, Brando. Your mind has been influenced by pollution. You can’t actively fall into the abyss.”

Brando’s charging figure immediately stopped. He panted heavily, looking at Lucy who was also struggling to maintain reason.

“I think… I think this place isn’t exactly benevolent either.”

“Boom—” A second-floor window suddenly shattered, and a figure flew out from inside, heavily falling on the open ground in front of the manor.

Lucy and Brando simultaneously turned to look and immediately saw a person whose face had been smashed so badly it was caved into his skull, lying on the ground, dead beyond dead.

Only his blue hair stained with red and white matter barely indicated the corpse’s identity to them!

Looking back, Kismet’s figure appeared at the broken window.

His silver hair and pale face were splattered with blood drops, but he didn’t care about the filth on his face. He was smiling, leaning against the broken glass shards.
