Anon stood up from the chair and looked at Julia with a menacing smile.

“Mr. Jule, please sit down, or the soldiers standing behind me…” Before she could complete her sentence, Anon disappeared from his place and reappeared in just one second.

Thud

Thud

Thud

Thud

All the soldiers standing behind Julia immediately fainted, except Ella.

“So, what were you saying again?” Anon asked.

Julia immediately looked behind and saw that all of her soldiers were lying on the floor, and Ella had tightened her grip around the sword.

“All of them are alive, just unconscious. It depends on your future actions, what will happen to them next. If I am right, this artifact blocks sound as well, right?” Anon asked as he sat back down on the chair and pointed towards the Gramophone.

‘What a demon, using my own weapons against me,’ Julia thought as she looked at Anon with a shocked expression.

“Y-You… What exactly are you?” Ella asked as her legs started shaking from fear.

Anon looked at Ella but decided to ignore her.

“Well, Miss Julia, do you have any other questions for me?” He asked with the same menacing smile and purple shining eyes.

“N-No…” Julia answered as she looked at Anon with a helpless expression.

Anon stood up from the chair and summoned a cigar from his inventory. He lit up the cigar and released a mouthful of smoke into the air.

“As I thought, it was a pleasure talking to you. See you soon, luv.” Anon said as he started walking towards the door.

“Wait.” Julia spoke.

Anon halted his steps and looked back at her.

“Yes…?”

“Do I have to be aware of you?” Julia asked as sweat started dripping from her forehead.

“If you ever enter a dark room and you see these eyes, I would suggest you lock the door from outside and leave the location as soon as possible.” Anon spoke as he started walking towards the door again.

Julia stood frozen on her spot after hearing this sentence.

Anon touched the door to open it, but he noticed that Ella’s sealing spell was still active on the door.

‘Now, how will you break that, Hero?’ Ella wondered as she looked at Anon with curiosity.

Meanwhile, Anon touched the door slightly and gathered a handful of Auric Energy at the tip of his index finger.

Slowly, a white shining orb of Auric Energy started forming on his finger’s tip.

Anon touched the door with it and…

Boooooom

The spell broke, and the door too.

Ella was stunned as she saw how easily he broke her best sealing spell.

As soon as the doors broke down, a cloud of dust rose up from the ground. Faith and her soldiers standing outside the door immediately became alert and pointed their swords at the person who came out of the room.

“Chill, guys. It’s me, Jule.” Anon spoke as the dust settled down, and his face was revealed to everyone.

“Mr. Jule, are you alright? Did they do something unpleasant to you?” Faith asked as she started looking around Anon’s body for any blood or wounds.

“Ma’am, I don’t think they did anything to him, but I do think that he did something to them,” one of the Elf soldiers spoke as she looked at the view inside the room.

“What do you mean…” Faith said as she walked over to the room’s entrance and noticed that all of the soldiers inside the room are lying unconscious on the floor except Julia and Ella.

“Wow… did Mr. Jule do this?”

“How much power does he have?”

“That’s incredible.”

The soldiers immediately started talking about Anon’s power. They started praising him.

But Anon was busy looking at the end of the hall with a suspicious expression as he took puffs out of his cigar.

Suddenly Anon realized something, and his eyes opened up in surprise.

“Interesting… Get behind me.” Anon shouted as he tossed the cigar aside and summoned the sickles of death.

“What happened, Mr. Jule?” One of the Elf soldiers asked.

“Seems like there are some visitors coming to say ‘Hi’ from the room down in the basement.” Anon spoke as he used his skill.

Death’s Domain

Suddenly the lights went off at the end of the hall and the disgusting smell of rotten meat started coming.

Faith immediately walked upto Anon and summoned her sword.

“What can I do to help ?” Faith asked with a serious expression.

Suddenly a pair of white glowing eyes appeared at the end of the hall, looking directly at Anon and a chill ran down Faith’s spine.

“Well, I would suggest you to take cover at this point.” Anon spoke with a smile.

“I sensed a very heavy bloodlust, what is going-” Julia and Ella stepped out the room and noticed that Anon and Faith is standing in front of the soldiers with their weapons pointing at the end of the hall.

“Is that, what i think it is ?” Julia spoke as she also summoned her sword and stood besides Anon. ．

Ella on the other side, stood behind them protecting the White elf soldiers.

“Freeman was the key to that array… when you killed him they must’ve been released from the array and they found us when when I blew up that gate.” Anon spoke.

“Why isn’t it moving?” Faith asked with a confused expression.

Sniff-Sniff

Suddenly Anon noticed that the same smell of rotten meat was coming from the opposite side of the hall as well.

He immediately turned around and noticed that 3 Zombies are standing at the other side as well.

“Fuck… We are surrounded.” Ella shouted as she also turned around.

“They must be her friends. It means that one standing in the dark is his brother’s daughter, who took the largest amount of that drug.” Anon spoke.

“Mrs. Faith, what should we do?” Julia asked.

Anon immediately summoned 13 Mithril Swords and threw them behind him.

“Take one… these are the only weapons that can kill them. Try your luck.” Anon spoke.

Everyone standing there immediately picked up the swords and pointed them towards the zombies.

‘The bloodlust coming from them has increased several times, why?’ Anon questioned himself as he focused on the zombie.

“You two go and protect your soldiers… I will take this one.” Anon ordered Faith and Julia.

“No, This one is more dangerous than those three combined.” Faith spoke.

“She is right; the bloodlust coming from her is far superior to the three in the back. You can’t take this one alone.” Julia spoke.

“I don’t want to listen to this **… just do what I tell you to do. Turn around and protect your soldiers.” Anon shouted, and his voice resounded in the hall as if someone from a very high rank is commanding them.

“Y-Yes…” Julia and Faith spoke as both of them turned around towards the 3 incoming zombies.

“Let’s do this, baby.” Anon spoke as he smiled towards the zombie.

GHRAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

A thundering howl was released from her monstrous-like mouth.
