The Truth of the Overlapping Space

indeed.

The butler provided crucial information about Viscount Alex's trip to the opera house and his digging in the Backyard while sleepwalking.

Although Viscount Alex himself also had memories of going to the opera house.

However, it could also be a 'fake' memory or a confused memory caused by the influence of dreams.

In fact, Viscount Alex never went to the opera house.

It was exactly midnight yesterday.

A white mist suddenly spread throughout the ' House of Cas ', drawing everyone into Overlapping Space. Someone had activated this formation in the Backyard.

The housekeeper who lives in the Backyard is a prime suspect.

"Mr. Black and White, Overlapping Space? Does that mean that two different spaces exist in the same place?"

"That's right... This formation is both the core that maintains the Overlapping Space and the 'switch button'."

Last night, someone activated a formation, drawing you into Overlapping Space.

That's why you witnessed the white mist, the tentacles, and the Mysterious Person.

When the Holy Knight Order ' reinforcements arrived at the mansion's gate, someone deactivated the array, switching back to the original space... Thus, the white mist and tentacles completely dissipated, and not even a trace of contamination could be detected.

Han Dong still had some questions. "Then... what does it mean that the real Alex is trapped here? And who was it that was escorted to the Holy Knight Order?"

"What is imprisoned here is only a wisp of Alex's spirit, a spirit specifically used for creation. He should be a special writer 'chosen' by this event."

He has been being led to create special works for someone ever since he started having the same dream ten days ago.

Every day at midnight, the array would activate precisely, drawing him into the Overlapping Space to create his hidden artwork.

"I see."

After Mr. Black and White finished explaining.

The next step is clear.

Enter the main house and stop the creative process.

"You're in charge of cleaning up the 'little thing,' and I'll show up when necessary."

You should be careful, the servants of the House of Martini have been corrupted and afflicted for more than ten days, and their bodies have already degenerated and decayed.

Additionally, when dealing with these 'white tentacles,' be wary of the direct Mental Plane impact... goggles may become ineffective.

After saying that, Mr. Black and White transformed himself.

It transformed into an ordinary, unremarkable crow and landed on Han Dong's shoulder.

"The Crow Prophet... that's amazing."

Sylest, who was standing to the side, couldn't join in the conversation at all.

Despite not having experienced last night's events firsthand, Mr. Black and White was able to discern the truth of the matter from the perspective of an observer, based on Han Dong's oral account.

Amazed, Sylest was already prepared for battle.

Armor, flail, and light shield have been equipped.

Multiple buffs are applied, and the process proceeds to the front yard of the mansion.

"Nicholas, you'd better stay behind me and use your special eyes to keep watch, and finish them off if necessary. With so many Corrupted One, you'd better avoid fighting..."

Sylest had just finished giving her instructions.

Two powerful auras emanated from behind.

In this ' Overlapping Space ' that isolates him from the Outside World, Han Dong had no scruples. Coupled with the urgency of time, Han Dong unleashed his full power.

The two Contained Object appeared together.

The moment Chen Li appeared, she used the white mist to stealthily move into the shadows.

Sylest had already seen the Hex Chen Li in the previous Baker incident, so she wasn't surprised.

But she had never seen this bald man with Saw Blade embedded in his head, dragging an iron chain in his hand, and pure black eyes—[Togu Gonzalez].

Moreover, the appearance of this man caused ash particles to scatter in the air, and the temperature rose accordingly.

The power emanating from this man was by no means weak.

"Demons?... Where did you get so many summoned creatures?"

Sylest had contact with many knights who specialized in [Control].

She knew some of the rules about 'summoning'... Even among Formal Knight, very few could simultaneously control two summons that matched their own level.

and.

Humanoid summons like these are more difficult to control than simpler monsters.

"Let's talk about it later, let's deal with the gardener in the front yard first..."

"Um..."

Our attention shifted to the garden area.

Under the shroud of mist, the plants in the front yard all looked strange.

Vines, branches, and flowers swayed eerily in the air.

As for the gardener in charge of the garden, he has become utterly corrupt and decadent.

Unlike the former "Fallen Beck", Beck is able to maintain a human form with difficulty due to the support of the Ocular Codex, and his consciousness is relatively intact.

The gardeners here have lost their human dignity, and their minds and consciousness have long since withered and decayed.

1. The skin peels off in large patches, and white tendrils grow out.

2. The arms transform into a 'flesh-shaped funnel', using their own body fluids to irrigate the plants.

3. Their lower bodies are transformed into giant suction cups, allowing them to quickly draw water from the fountain pool area to replenish the nutrients in their bodies.

"There are five in total. I'll take care of three of them... You can stall the remaining two for a bit!"

"Good."

After all, he was one of the best in the Knight Order.

Sylest showed no fear and immediately charged forward.

The steel flail in his hand was immediately covered with a layer of holy flame that restrained the Corrupted Entity.

The flail sweeps across!

Before the first gardener could react, he was directly struck by the powerful flail and shattered.

The contaminated limbs scattered on the ground were eroded by the holy flames and quickly annihilated, giving the other party no chance to revive.

"One!"

"The Avengers' Shield"

The Holy Shield was thrown out.

It hits and bounces between two other gardeners, dealing damage and stunning them.

"Two!"

Sylest immediately closed in and swung her flail down, destroying the second stunned Roundling.

"Hmm? Dizziness resistance!"

Just as Sylest turned around.

The third gardener somehow countered the dizziness and pointed the 'funnel arm' at her.

A highly polluting bodily fluid was sprayed out.

The battle-hardened Sylest swiftly raised her Holy Shield.

Sizzle!

White smoke rose from the Holy Shield.

Prolonged contact with this contaminated liquid may damage the sacred object.

Sylest gritted her teeth and decisively activated the active skill attached to the flail.

An ordinary-sized holy hammer appeared out of thin air above the gardener's head.

Snap!

It fell vertically and completely crushed the third round nail.

"Three, done! Deeply corrupted... Nicholas shouldn't be too easy to deal with, right?"

Sylest took a deep breath and quickly bypassed the eerie garden area to support Han Dong.

However, what she saw when she stepped out of the garden.

The scene of Han Dong desperately trying to hold off the two Corrupted One was not what was expected.

Han Dong, with Black Crow perched on his shoulder, didn't make a move at all; he even sat leisurely on the edge of the fountain.

The battle had just ended.

With direct confrontation and Chen Li's assassination, Togu has completely eliminated the two gardeners.

The gardener's body was completely and cleanly incinerated by Togu's "lava" ability.

"..."

Sylest was speechless at the sight.

In just over a week, Han Dong, who had escaped from the Destiny Space, had undergone a fundamental improvement compared to when he was in the Underground Area.

Han Dong dismissed his two servants, stood up, and pointed towards the mansion.

"Sister Wino, let's go!"
