Chapter 624 – Disengagement and Madness
Chapter 624 – Detachment and Madness
“Two dimensions may exist in this manor.”
In a cramped storage room, Lucy stretched out two fingers in front of the only remaining wizard at her side.
Brando nodded with a grave expression on his face.
“Yes, I think so too, or we couldn’t have searched the entire estate and still found no sign of Saul or the lady.”
Brando told Lucy all about what he saw when he entered the manor and the mere fact that Saul was not present.
Outside was an unknown number of black shadow monsters, and the only way to collaborate with each other and solve the immediate crisis as soon as possible was to share information.
“If that’s the case, that little girl is the root cause that made us lose our power and enter the manor. Maybe if we find that little girl we can get our magic back.”
Brando pressed himself against the door of the storage room to listen for movement, he hadn’t done this in so long that he was almost forgetting how he had to crane his neck to turn his head sideways.
“Or maybe we need to think of something else. We all used to be unconscious before we entered here, and we can’t connect to our mental bodies until now, so maybe we’re in some kind of consciousness world.”
Brando thought of Sol’s consciousness space.
The place where he had only stayed for a few seconds before he was so afraid that he ran away immediately.
“It’s very difficult to wake up if you’re completely engrossed.” Brando scratched his hair.
His mental power was already outstanding among second-order sorcerers, but he still couldn’t find a break in this world.
“There are additions to the rules of the Lordless Land here, and we can’t break through the limitations with our power alone.” Lucy also admitted that this place was quite dangerous, but her expression was still calm.
“Now that it’s all that highly corrosive black shadow out there, do you have any other ideas?” Brando was all but considering smashing himself unconscious.
At that moment, Lucy suddenly sat down on her knees, clenched her hands into fists, and gently rested them against her chin.
“The wrath of thunder shakes the four seas, and the sword of law cuts through evil. I, Lucy Golden Thunder, ask for the favor of you, the Lord of Thunder, Ackerley, to send down your greatness and dispel the mazes before my eyes with thunder and lightning.”
Brando looked on in disbelief.
“Aren’t you a sorcerer?”
How could a wizard make such a prayerful gesture?
Lucy slowly raised her eyes and lowered her arms.
Brando noticed that tiny golden lightning bolts suddenly emerged from Lucy’s eyes.
“You… you regained your magic power?”
If this could restore magic power, then Brando wouldn’t mind praying to that Speaker of the Stargate Council, Ackley, ah!
Lucy saw Brando’s expression and immediately knew what he was thinking.
Since her birth, she had already seen too many such envious looks.
Of course, the thirst in Brando’s eyes was a bit more naked.
“When power reaches a certain level, it becomes a god in the eyes of fools. But my prayers aren’t quite the same as the prayers of the faithful.”
Lucy slowly stood up, “This power can’t be used casually either, overuse will make me lose myself and become a complete puppet of my great-grandfather.”
“A puppet?” Brando was shocked.
He then noticed another word and his jaw dropped, “Increase Increase Increase Grandfather?”
Lucy, equally accustomed to the shocked expressions of others when they first learned their identity, spread her hands expressionlessly.
“Crackling ……”
A dazzling burst of electricity instantly filled the entire storage room.
Everything was completely covered in white light.
It was only after a few seconds that Brando rubbed his eyes and barely regained his vision.
However, the narrow storage room in front of him no longer had Miss Lucy’s figure.
He opened his mouth, and for a moment, he actually didn’t know what to say.
“Wait, why did she just leave on her own? Can’t even take one more person with you with that powerful sound effect?”
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The flash of electricity was so loud a commotion that it startled the devil who was prowling outside the door.
The wooden room door was immediately slammed!
Eyes watched as white pungent smoke gradually seeped out of the door cracks, as if something outside was corroding the walls and door panels.
Brando was already powerless to spit, he looked around and finally pulled out an iron rake used to sweep leaves from a large barrel on the side. “Sure enough, none of them are reliable!”
……
Lucy opened her eyes and realized that she was actually back outside the dimly lit manor.
The front room, which had just been ornate and had the sound of music faintly emanating from it, was so quiet that it seemed as if you could hear dust falling.
She looked around, but was surprised to find that the only people outside the manor at the moment were Red Beard, Brando, and the short wizard, Druitt.
The blue-haired wizard, the dryad wizard, and that abominable Kismet had all awakened and had now left the place!
“When did they come back?”
The fact that she wasn’t the first to return made Lucy a little irritated.
But she just bit her lip and didn’t let the frustration continue to control her.
She raised her hand and released a few arcs of electricity.
“Magic and spirit power are back as well.” Lucy looked to Brando beside her and lifted her hand to strike the other woman in the chest with an electric bolt.
However, Brando did not have any reaction and remained standing on the cloister without moving.
“Wow!”
A scattering sound rang out from behind her, and Lucy immediately turned around, surprised to see the short wizard unexpectedly scatter into hundreds of broken pieces that fell to the ground.
“Wow!”
There was another sound.
Turning back again, Lucy saw that one of Brando’s arms had actually fallen to the ground in pieces as well.
It was impossible for a person, even a second-ranked sorcerer, to survive when turned into such shattered pieces.
“It seems that even though I just left the old manor without magic, the commotion that I triggered put Brando in a difficult situation.”
“He must be awakened!”
Lucy still had her own principles, Brando had just counted himself as having saved her, so naturally at this point, she would not let the other party stay in the illusion and die.
But the other party’s body surprisingly didn’t react to the lightning at all.
Lucy hesitated for half a second and suddenly raised her hand and pressed it on top of Brando’s head.
“If you still can’t wake up like this, then there’s nothing else I can do.”
With a “bang”, Brando’s entire body fell backwards, a small patch of scorched black on his forehead.
However, his body leaned backward halfway, but suddenly settled, and then with a hard support from his waist, he unexpectedly stood up again.
“Ha! Thank you, Ms. Lucy, you are indeed kind-hearted and beautiful!”
Brando saw his crushed arm as soon as he lowered his head, but he didn’t care about it, and moved his only remaining right hand, and a tremendous amount of strength immediately built up between his muscles and bones according to his heart.
“Very well, now we can have some fun with the manor master.” Brando grinned as if he was the demon who was going to invade the manor.
Lucy, who was observing Brando’s situation, suddenly felt a twisting force coming from inside the manor.
It was as if the power was teasing the magic within her, making her blood boil. Tyranny and chaos crept into her mind, and an extremely strong desire for destruction caused her chest to rise and fall.
Across from Lucy, Brando hadn’t yet realized that his smile was becoming a little bit grim.
“Go.” Brando’s eyes bubbled with scarlet blood, “Let’s kill all the enemies inside!”
Lucy didn’t immediately respond to Brando, her eyes once again flashed with golden arcs of electricity.
A slight sting brought her sanity back slightly.
“Calm down, Brando, your sanity has been affected by the contamination, you can’t actively fall into the abyss.”
Brando’s halfway rushed form came to a standstill as he gasped for air and looked towards Lucy who was also struggling to maintain her sanity.
“I think …… I think this place, it’s not a good place either.”
“Boom-” A window on the second floor suddenly shattered, while a figure flew out from it and landed heavily on the open space in front of the manor.
Lucy and Brando simultaneously turned their heads to look, and instantly saw a person whose face had been shattered so much that it was sunken into his skull, lying on the ground, too dead to be seen.
Only his blue hair, stained with red and white, barely indicated the dead body to the two!
Turning back again, Kismet’s figure appeared in front of the shattered window.
His long silver hair and white face were splattered with blood, but he didn’t care about the dirt on his face and was holding a smile as he leaned on the broken glass ballast.
