Chapter 115 Terrorist Attack
boom!
A loud bang shook the entire banquet hall, and the shockwave spread rapidly through the air.
Ding-dong!
The chandelier overhead swayed violently, and the delicate decorations shook from the impact.
"what happened?"
Panic spread instantly, and the guests were stunned and bewildered by the sight before them. The shock of the explosion left them swaying, and some of them were not yet awakened.
"I can't see!"
Chaos ensued, smoke obscured visibility, and almost everyone was shaken by the shock of the explosion. Some lost their balance and fell to the ground, while others struggled to their feet.
Amidst the chaos and thick smoke, the six heirs acted swiftly, their combat instincts and training immediately coming into play.
Julia and Karl immediately began to look around. Having experienced countless battles in the dungeon, their instincts honed through countless life-or-death struggles allowed them to quickly enter combat mode.
boom!
Before the aftershocks of the first explosion had subsided, a second explosion occurred, this time even closer to the crowd.
boom!
However, the impact of the explosion was blocked by a barrier that suddenly appeared, covering everyone who was near the table.
"This is……"
When Alice and the others noticed the table, they were surprised to find that it was not damaged in any way.
"Everyone, stay calm!"
A majestic voice rang out from the ruins and smoke, and almost everyone here knew the source of the voice: Chief Butler Reginald.
"Those near the table, do not move..."
boom!
However, before Reginald could finish speaking, the third explosion interrupted him again.
“We must stick together; we have no weapons right now,” Alice said, observing the barrier.
“And Ethan. You stay among us,” she commanded.
Ethan is a member of the academy, but he has only recently awakened his powers and is not yet strong enough to deal with the current crisis.
“You know I won’t do that,” Ethan refused without hesitation. As a representative of the Hartley family, he couldn’t back down at a time like this.
"Master!"
As the order was given, the surrounding air suddenly began to vibrate, and a strong gust of wind appeared out of nowhere.
call!
Within seconds, the smoke that had enveloped the hall was dispersed by a strong wind.
hum!hum!hum!
As the smoke cleared, countless flickering portals appeared in the hall, their presence causing panic and confusion among everyone.
“What on earth is going on…” Lucas murmured, his eyes wide as he stared at the unusual sight. The others were equally puzzled, their instincts keeping them on high alert.
An invisible pressure emanated from the portal, as if something terrible was lurking inside.
Suddenly, a spherical mechanical device popped out of the portal and quickly flew into the air.
Click! Click!
"shooting!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the guards, mages, and archers immediately launched an attack from a distance, targeting the spheres.
But the black energy covered the sphere, absorbing all their attacks.
Ding!
Before anyone else could react, these mechanical devices suddenly released a burst of energy, creating a magical magnetic field that interfered with the surrounding area.
hum!
Immediately afterwards, the barrier covering everyone suddenly disappeared.
"They're causing magical interference!" Irina exclaimed, her voice filled with urgency. As a mage, she was extremely sensitive to magical perception, and at this moment she found herself unable to draw fire element from her surroundings.
The situation is extremely serious. The interference of magical power means that magical artifacts and formations cannot function properly, and it also makes the surrounding elements unstable.
Click! Click! Click!
All the lights that illuminated the room went out, plunging everyone into darkness.
"No!"
Whoosh!
However, the crisis is far from over.
A gust of wind blew behind Irina, accompanied by the sound of something flying by.
puff!
Then came the sound of liquid splashing.
Snapped!
Some liquid splashed onto her face.
'What's this?'
She was filled with doubt. Due to the interference of the surrounding magic, her mind became dizzy, and she could not think as quickly as usual.
"cough!"
Before she could react, she heard someone cough, and the sticky liquid on their forehead slowly dripped into her mouth.
She was very familiar with this taste.
'Blood?'
Whoosh!Whoosh!
As the pungent smell of blood filled her mind, another wave of attacks began.
The darkness and the magical fluctuations in her surroundings had affected her thinking. As a mage, her heightened sensitivity to magic had caused the disturbed elements to shut down her senses, making her more vulnerable than ever before.
"Irina!"
In that instant, she sensed someone.
boom!
As she was tackled to the ground, she saw through the man's body sharp black tentacles slicing through the air and passing by her.
"Ok?"
"what are you doing?"
The magical energy within her body was disrupted by the magnetic field, causing her to lose her senses. It was as if something was directly affecting her body, preventing her from thinking clearly.
Snapped!
With the sound of the slap, a sharp pain shot through her cheek. As the pain subsided, the dizzying world gradually calmed down.
Her gaze refocused, and her consciousness returned to normal.
"Wake up, Irina."
Standing in front of her was a boy with blue hair.
"You almost died."
His brown eyes were fixed on her with obvious anger.
"Ethan."
Her hands trembled a few times, then she saw the tender look return to the boy's eyes.
The persistent stinging pain in her swollen cheeks irritated her. She was annoyed at herself for standing there so pathetically while others were protecting her.
Snapped!
Another slap rang out.
"What are you doing?" Ethan questioned, his eyes filled with concern and a hint of injustice.
"What do you think?" Irina countered, her voice trembling slightly as she gradually regained her strength.
Ethan blinked, momentarily taken aback, then his expression brightened. "I think," he replied somewhat awkwardly, "that...is necessary."
They stopped talking and their attention was drawn to the scenery around them.
Blood splattered across the ground as countless masked attackers emerged one after another from the portal.
They exuded an oppressive aura that was not that of ordinary people; crimson blood and an intense sense of fear permeated the entire room.
But the Black family was not without its reputations. Although the attack caught them off guard, it did not mean they were unprepared.
"Form ranks!"
Whoosh!Whoosh!
With a shout, the hunters and awakened ones immediately entered the battlefield.
They are professionally trained, adept at handling emergencies, and quick to act.
Spells and skills were cast, blades were drawn, and the clash of magic and steel echoed through the hall.
Clang! Clang!
In an instant, the banquet hall transformed into a battlefield. Blood continued to flow, and blades clashed relentlessly.
The attackers were no ordinary people. They were dressed in black, acted in a coordinated and orderly manner, and had a clear intention.
The fact that the guards were nearly as skilled as the attackers speaks volumes about the organization's dangerousness.
Amidst the chaos and relentless onslaught of the tentacles, the Black family guards were gradually overwhelmed. The tentacles attacked from all sides, making it difficult for them to organize an effective defense.
"Hold the line!" the captain of the guard shouted, trying to bolster his men as they struggled to withstand the fierce onslaught.
Magic and arrows were unleashed in desperation, but the tentacles carried a dark energy that could deflect or absorb their attacks.
All that's left here is chaos.
......
"snake."
In the pitch-black room, a hoarse voice echoed.
"Report."
The owner of the voice was a burly man, staring intently at the screen.
call!
The fan continued to spin, and the huge room gave the feeling of a basement.
"Report, I am a snake."
A voice came from the monitor. It was a soft voice, belonging to a woman. Despite the signal interference, her voice remained clear.
"Information is correct, the item is here," the voice named Snake confirmed.
Upon hearing the report, the burly man grinned.
"Very good, you can continue now."
"receive."
After the communication was shut down, the burly man stood there, staring at the screen.
Did you hear that?
He turned around and spoke. Behind him stood a silhouette veiled. From its hands, a continuous stream of dark energy surged forth, shooting towards the open portal in the room.
"Ah."
The voice answered.
Whoosh!
In response, another black tentacle shot out, heading straight for the portal.
"So, are you willing to talk now? We need to find the location of that thing." The burly man approached the figure with a smile.
Whoosh!
His approach was stopped by a tentacle that flew past his ear.
"I remember warning you not to come near me."
"Okay, okay..."
The burly man took a step back, glancing warily at the warning tentacles. The atmosphere was tense, filled with unspoken threats.
"As for my question..."
“No problem,” the masked figure replied calmly. “I will tell you the location as you requested.”
"So......"
"On the condition that you catch him."
As the masked figure finished speaking, the burly man nodded.
"Then, make sure you're ready."
He turned to the screen again and opened the communication channel.
"Tiger, lion. You can move now."
