Chapter 161: Chapter 161: The Truth of Overlapping Space

Indeed.
The critical information about Viscount Alexis going to the opera house and sleepwalking in the backyard was given by the steward.
While Viscount Alexis himself also has memories of going to the opera house.
But it could also be ‘fabricated’ or influenced by dreams, resulting in chaotic memories.
In fact, Viscount Alexis had never been to the opera house at all.
At precisely midnight last night.
The white mist suddenly dispersed in the ‘Cass House,’ leading everyone into an overlapping space due to someone in the backyard activating the formation.
The steward living in the backyard is under significant suspicion.
“Mr. Black White, overlapping spaces? Does it mean that two different spaces exist at the same place?”
“Yes… this formation, it’s both the heart that maintains the overlapping space and the ‘switch button’.”
Yesterday, someone activated the formation, bringing you into the overlapping space.
So, you saw the white fog, tentacles, and the mysterious people.
Subsequently, when the reinforcement of the Holy Knights Group arrived at the manor, someone shut down the formation, switching back to the original space… So the white fog and tentacles completely disappeared, to the point where even a trace of contamination could not be detected.”
Han Dong was still a bit unclear: “So… what do you mean by real Alexis being trapped here? Who was taken to the Holy Knights Group?”
“What is imprisoned here is only a strand of Alexis’s spirit, a spirit body specifically used for creation. He should be the ‘chosen’ special writer of this event.
From the start of having the same dream ten days ago, he was being induced to create special works for someone.
Every day at precisely midnight, the formation would be activated on time, bringing him into the overlapping space for a secret creation of works.”
“I see.”
After Mr. Black White finished explaining.
The next steps are clear.
To enter the manor and stop the creation.
“Leave the ‘little things’ clean-up to you, I will appear at the necessary time.
Be careful, the minions of the Martini family have been assaulted by contamination for more than ten days, their bodies have already been corrupted.
Also, when dealing with these ‘white tentacles’, be careful of the direct impact on the spiritual level… protective goggles might be ineffective.”
After saying this, Mr. Black White changed in an instant.
He transformed into an ordinary crow, landing on Han Dong’s shoulder.
“Crow Prophet … impressive.”
Standing by his side, Silist was at a loss for words.
Even though he had not experienced last night’s events, Mr. Black White could discern the truth of the incident from the perspective of an onlooker, along with Han Dong’s recounting of information.
In admiration, Silist got ready for battle.
The armor, flail, and light shield have been equipped.
Multiple Buff Enhancement have been applied and they made their way towards the front yard of the manor.
“Nicholas, you’d better stay behind me, use your special eyes for observation, and assist when necessary. In the face of such a large number of fallen, you better avoid fighting…”
Just as Silist finished warning.
Two considerable forces came from behind him.
In this ‘overlapping space’ that ignored the outside world, Han Dong, due to the urgency of time, directly summoned all his strength.
Two summoned creatures appeared at the same time.
Chen Li, upon appearing, immediately took advantage of the white mist and sneaked around secretly.
Having encountered the possessed Chen Li during the Baker incident, Silist was not surprised.
But she had never seen this man with a saw blade embedded in his skull, dragging chains in his hands, and with purely black eyes- [Togu Gonzales].
Besides, due to the appearance of this man, the temperature rose as ash particles floated in the air and the power emanating from this man was in no way weaker.
“A demon? … where did you get so many summoned creatures from?”
Silist had come into contact with many knights who specialized in [Control].
She knew some rules about ‘summoning’… Even formal knights rarely control two summoned creatures matched to their level simultaneously.
Moreover.
Summoned creatures like these humanoid ones are harder to control compared to simple-minded magical beasts.
“We’ll talk about that later; let’s first deal with the gardeners in the front yard…”
“Alright…”
His gaze shifted towards the garden area.
In the misty haze, the plants in the front yard suddenly became peculiar.
Vines, branches, and flowers eerily swayed in the air.
As for the gardener in charge of the garden, he had completely fallen into corruption.
Unlike the previous[Fallen Baker], due to the support of the Eye Book, Baker could barely maintain a human form and his consciousness was relatively sound.
But the gardener here had lost the posture that a human should have, and his thoughts and consciousness had long been rotten and corroded.
1. Large pieces of skin have fallen off, replaced by white tentacles.
2. His arms have transformed into a ‘flesh funnel’, used to water the plants with their own body fluids.
3. His lower body had turned into a giant suction cup, which enables them to quickly absorb water from the fountain area, replenishing their body fluids.
“There are a total of five. I’ll take down these three… You stall the remaining two!”
“Understood.”
After all, he was one of the best in the Knight Regiment.
Silist rushed forward without fear.
The iron flail in his hand was immediately enveloped in the Holy Flame that restrained contaminants.
Flail sweep!
The first gardener, who had not yet reacted, was directly shattered by the powerful flail attack.
The scattered contaminant limbs were corroded by the Holy Flame, quickly annihilating them without giving them any chance of resurrection.
“One!”
“Avenger’s Shield”
The Holy Shield was thrown out.
It hit and rebounded between the other two gardeners, causing damage and a dazing effect at the same time.
“Two!”
Silist immediately drew near and destroyed the second gardener, who was in a dazed state, with a swing of the flail.
“Huh? Daze resistance!”
As Silist turned around.
The third gardener surprisingly negated the dazed effect and aimed his ‘funnel arm’ at her.
A highly contaminating body fluid was sprayed out.
Silist, a battle-hardened veteran, quickly raises her Holy Shield.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
White smoke rose from the Holy Shield.
Prolonged contact with this contaminating liquid might damage the holy artifact.
Silist gritted her teeth and decisively activated the active skill of the flail.
A Holy Hammer of ordinary size formed out of thin air above the gardener’s head.
Thwack!
It descended vertically, crushing the third gardener completely.
“Three, done! Deep corruption… it might not be easy for Nicholas to deal with this.”
Silist took a deep breath, hastily bipassed the eerie garden area, and went to support Han Dong.
However, the scene she saw when she left the garden.
The scene didn’t match what she imagined, with Han Dong desperately stalling two of the fallen.
Han Dong, with a black crow perched on his shoulder, didn’t even lift a finger, even casually sitting on the edge of the fountain.
The battle had just ended.
With Togu’s direct confrontation and Chen Li’s assassination, the two gardeners had been completely erased.
The gardener’s body was completely incinerated by Togu’s ‘lavastone’ ability, clean and tidy.
Silist was speechless at this scene.
In just over a week, Han Dong, who had emerged from the Fate Space, had a significant improvement compared to the last time in the underground area.
Han Dong dismissed his two minions, stood up, and pointed to the direction of the mansion.
“Vino, let’s go!”
