Chapter 467: Personal Visit

“Perhaps Captain Lucius and the others have already encountered the Baron… Nicole, head back inside me first.”

“Alright…”

Just like in the movie, Nicole immediately transformed into a small pink octopus and temporarily withdrew into Han Dong’s body.

Han Dong’s judgment was quite simple.

The forces sent out from the front door to deal with Han Dong and his party were obviously not the full strength of the White Manor.

Perhaps under duress, all the Blood Descendants in the manor had returned to the main house to help.

“Let’s go, let’s go inside and see…”

[White Manor]

The filthy, foul-smelling manor, like a Beast Cave, allowed Han Dong to vividly depict the chaotic scene of a large number of Pale Blood Descendants being kept in the manor.

However, the current situation was a bit different.

What was scattered throughout the manor was not Pale Blood Descendants… but twisted skeleton soldiers.

Lunze’s ‘Dead Spirit Resurrection’ applied to the Blood Descendants as well.

As long as a Blood Descendant died, its bones would be invaded by the Dead Spirit Aura and transformed into a Skeleton Soldier controlled by Lunze… and would inherit some of the attributes from its previous life to a certain extent.

“Hm? Captain Lucius?”

Just as Han Dong was preparing to venture deeper into the white mansion at the center.

Lucius and his team surprisingly walked out from the mansion’s main entrance… Their expressions didn’t look good, and they weren’t holding any blood containers in their hands.

Whether from the length of time or from Lucius’s expressions, it was evident they had been unsuccessful in killing the Baron.

“The Baron isn’t here. Only some unimportant Blood Descendants are left in this White Manor… and there’s no information about the Baron himself or the Count left behind.

Something isn’t right, we need to get out of here.”

Han Dong also looked anxious, quickly turning towards Simon, the black man leading the way, “Could it be that the White Ghost Baron has just been called back to the Scarlet Manor by the Count?

Simon, hurry up and lead us to the nearest tunnel in the mountains… We need to prepare to evacuate.”

“Right!”

Simon also sensed the unusual atmosphere. Just as he took the first step to run out of the White Manor, he suddenly stopped… His condition was strange.

“Everyone, be on guard!”

The squad immediately formed a battle formation around Lucius.

“Lord… Lord, save me…”

Just as Simon said this.

Patches of deep red blood clots bulged on his body, writhing up and down… Simon couldn’t use his earth power at all.

Bang! (Explosion)

Simon, the black man who was just a step away from becoming a Deviant Demon, had his body explode from the inside… His two stone eyeballs rolled to a stop right in front of Han Dong.

Death.

The blood spilled on the ground slowly gathered to form a higher entity that emitted a terrifying aura.

A double-breasted, tailcoat overcoat of jet-black color,

Long metal nails that resembled crosses were inserted between his wrists and ankles,

His exposed hand was covered with strange black secret texts,

A metal protective eye ring with a circled iron cone on his head, his pale face marked with a hugely exaggerated mad smile,

Like a deep bat cave, his mouth was filled with rows of black sharp teeth,

Squeak~ A bat really flew out of his mouth, landing on his shoulder.

Without a doubt… this was the founder of the ‘Scarlet Manor’, the infection source of all Blood Descendants in the Alagard Mountain Range.

Behind this Count stood a five-meter-tall, bamboo pole-like old butler… stooping over, staring at everyone with eyes suffering from severe cataracts.

“Two mature Deviant Demons!?”

Indeed, the aura that emitted from this head Butler was on par with the Count’s.

Simultaneously, six figure-distinctive [Barons] appeared consecutively.

One of them was the White Manor’s [Baron – White Ghost], who depended on some sort of steam-powered wheelchair to move around. He was bedridden with multiple ailments, resembling a dried-up corpse in white.

Eight demons, including two mature ones.

This was the territory of Scarlet Manor, protected by the “Land Deeds”.

This situation put the team in a tense state.

Lucius also rummaged for an important object, ready to pull out his last stand, attempting to carve out a blood trail to escape…according to Simon, the African American’s suggestion – if they retreat to the Gain Forest, they would lose their pursuers.

However, under such circumstances, the success rate was not high.

Brother Dumps amongst the team took a deep breath, also preparing to activate his backup plan.

Inside the team.

Only Han Dong had a seemingly tense look, yet that revealed a ‘satisfied’ expression… as if he had foreseen this situation.

Or rather, he intentionally created this situation.

When Lucius wanted to acquire Baron’s blood, Han Dong was the first to stand out in agreement.

“Ha ha…”

From the Count’s black-mouthed, white-faced wide mouth, came a manic laugh from the abyss of madness.

“It is amusing indeed. It seems your body truly carries His blood… I shall need to disassemble you to take a closer look.”

The Count raised his hand.

The six Barons instantly attacked, the housekeeper also made a move… numerous Blood Bats circled the people’s heads.

And yet, in this moment.

Han Dong made an incomprehensible move.

He stepped forward, head high and hand holding a ‘Scarlet Manor Invitation’ that had been prepared beforehand.

“Dear respected Count, Lord of Scarlet Manor!

I am Valen. Nicholas, Lord of the Gain Forest – Stuart Manor.

I received your Messenger’s invitation letter some days ago, hence bringing along my human friends to the banquet.

I didn’t expect the Count to personally attend to us. I am slightly embarrassed.”

The moment these words came out, in combination with the distinct aura Han Dong carried.

Since Simon could sniff out Han Dong’s Lord aura the first time, it was natural for the Count to do the same.

“Wait…”

The Count raised his hand, all personnel stopped moving.

“Oh? The Lord of Stuart Manor… has that Giant Ghoul died?”

“Yes.”

“Ha ha, such an honour! I didn’t expect the newly inaugurated Lord to accept my Scarlet Manor’s invitation, please follow me… Three days left until the ‘Crimson Feast’. For this period of time, would you and your friends like to stay at my humble abode?

My servants will ‘cordially’ attend to you.”

“Ok! Please lead the way, Count.”

In a blink of an eye, the twist in the situation left Captain Lucius and the Blood Knights dumbstruck, slow to react.

Meanwhile, a familiar feeling swept over them.

It seemed Han Dong had fooled them again.

Dumps adjusted his glasses, put aside the special object in his hand and muttered,

“Nicholas, Nicholas… you really dare to mess around. Diving straight into the belly of the beast, there’s no going back now.

Interesting. Since you dare to be so audacious, I’ll play along with you.

When things get out of hand, I’m fleeing on my own…”
