The tragic scene on the street made everyone more vigilant, and they continued to explore the depths of the Golden Manor. As they approached the area where the family hall was located, the situation was getting worse.
They saw more bodies of the Tannaeans, and the buildings were more severely damaged. The central area of the Golden Manor seemed to have become a battlefield. Collapsed or melted building wreckage could be seen everywhere. The roads that were devastated by explosions were almost dyed brown and yellow by the blood of the Tannaeans. The dead were everywhere, and almost every place was filled with the smell of death and decay. Even Vivian, who had seen many deaths, could not help but frown. This was not a battlefield, but a shelter for a group of recluses. Even in the Mythological Era when the otherworldlings cruelly treated humans, the Tannaeans had not done any obvious evil. So it was even more regrettable that they had suffered such a disaster.
Everyone gradually arrived at the center of the Golden Manor. There were some large golden buildings here. The damage to these buildings was relatively light, and most of the buildings were surrounded by lightning and strange sounds. In the sky above the buildings, they could see a strange aurora-like scene. These facilities seemed to be factory-like. Because there were fewer guards, they did not suffer much damage from the melee. This once again proved one of Hao Ren's speculations:
The melee was aimed at the people, not the city itself.
At this point, the number of corpses on the ground had not decreased at all. Instead, there were more and more of them. Lily wrinkled her nose as she moved forward in the smelly Shuraba. She used her Flamejoy to dispel the cold air around her and muttered, "It looks like they are all Tana … the Ancattero family. There is no trace of demon hunters."
"Well, this melee is caused by the Ancattero family," Y 'zaks said, nodding slightly. "I wonder why everyone is gathered in the inner city. When we came in from the outer city, there was no one there. "
"I'm afraid it's all because of that shadow." Hao Ren thought of the various attributes of the Shade of Chaos. "That thing can affect people's minds and make them kill each other. The most efficient way is, of course, to gather everyone together."
"But we haven't seen a shadow since we came in." Y 'lisabet scratched her little horn, and then tossed a shadow ball bigger than her head around. "I've been nervous all the way!"
Wayne's face turned green when he saw the little girl suddenly summon a Shadow Ball of such a scale. "Don't play with such dangerous things!"
"Stop it." Hao Ren glared at Y'lisabet. "We're counting on you and your dad to be the main force later."
Of course, Hao Ren and his team were not unprepared when they explored the Golden Manor. Since they had fought with the Shade of Chaos and exchanged information in the Athens' sanctuary, they came prepared. At present, it was certain that the Shade of Chaos would be bound by divine things, banished and destroyed by high-grade shadow magic, blocked by high-performance mirrors, and weakened by strong light. With these four weaknesses in mind, Hao Ren and his team were more or less confident. But it seemed that only shadow magic was the most reliable. Hao Ren's mutton-fat jade chest and purple gold gourd were the only divine artifacts that were bound to him, and he had not shown it to Wayne yet. Light could only weaken the shadow but not destroy it. Y 'zaks' magic mirror reflection law was not very practical. So if the Shade of Chaos came out, they would have to rely on the power of the shadow caster to deal with it.
Y 'zaks and his daughter, Vivian, and Wayne all knew shadow magic, and they would be the main force against the Shade of Chaos. Hao Ren and Hesperides each had a shield and sunlight spell, which made them invincible MTs. Lily did not have any skills that could restrain the shadow, but she was simple-minded, so she was naturally resistant to all mind control effects. So this arrangement was just right. In fact, Hao Ren thought that it would be better if he could bring Nangong Wuyue with him. Nangong Wuyue was more resistant to mind control. Based on her experience when she was controlled by the brain monster, she could even use mind control as a buff. Unfortunately, he did not bring her this time.
Y 'zaks frowned and looked around vigilantly. His eyes stopped at every corner where shadows might appear, but he did not find any trace of the Shade of Chaos. He summoned several Shadow Spheres to float around him so that as soon as the Shade of Chaos appeared, he could immediately banish it into the pure Shadow World. Next to him, little Y 'lisabet was still doing what she wanted after listening to Hao Ren's lecture. The little girl summoned a shadow sphere the size of a washbasin and tossed it in her hand as if she was playing with a ball. The simple and crude demonic way of casting spells made Wayne and Hesperides break out in cold sweat. Both of them were ready to run as soon as the little girl lost her balance.
Lily then remembered that Y 'zaks used the Rebounding Mirror to destroy the Shade of Chaos. She asked curiously, "Y' zaks, how did you find out that the mirror could reflect the Shade of Chaos?"
Y 'zaks's expression was a little weird. He directly avoided the topic. "I just observed it carefully. It's not a big deal."
Lily was particularly interested in this question. "You are a man. You can't carry a mirror with you, right?"
At this time, Y 'lisabet suddenly jumped out. "The shadow hit my dad on the head! It bounced back! "
Everyone turned pale with fright. Lily was so shocked that she even spoke in dialect. "Awoooo?!"
Y 'zaks looked into the distance with a straight face. "Ahem, there's no difference in strength as long as it's useful. Can you stop looking at me?"
Lily was shocked by Y 'zaks. "So you went bald to increase your combat power?"
At this time, Wayne, who was walking in front, suddenly said, interrupting Lily's divergent thoughts. "There are traces of demon hunters here!"
Hao Ren immediately ran over and saw Wayne squatting beside a dead Tannaean. He bent down and pulled out a silver-white dagger stained with blood. "… a sacred silver dagger with triple Letta runes. It's the equipment of a senior demon hunter."
"This one was killed by a demon hunter." Vivian examined the body and confirmed that the sacred silver dagger was the only fatal wound. "It was a one-hit kill. The dagger severed the arteries, and the magic shattered all the internal organs at the same time. It's a neat and tidy demon hunter's technique. This kind of dagger is a short-to-medium distance throwing weapon. According to the direction of the body, the dagger should be from — "
"It's coming from that direction," Vivian said as she raised her head and looked into the distance.
There was no demon hunter in Vivian's sight, but there was a dazzling red bloodstain. The red bloodstain stood out in the murky dark yellow blood of the Tannaean. Lily followed the bloodstain and finally found the first dead demon hunter not far away.
A young man in a black trench coat was lying behind a golden pillar. His neck was almost completely scorched by some kind of high-temperature weapon. One of his legs and one of his arms were charred. Not far in front of him was a Tannaean lying on his back on the ground. The Tannaean was holding a weird weapon that looked like a crystal staff in his hand. But he did not die in the hands of the demon hunters. He was killed by his compatriots with the same high-temperature weapon.
This scene alone was enough to let people guess the degree of chaos that happened here a month ago. Y 'zaks could not help but whisper to himself, "It's a mess."
Wayne wrapped the sacred silver dagger in a piece of cloth and put it in his pocket. He then stood up and pointed to a domed building not far away. "That is the family hall. The Ancattero family would hold important meetings or receive guests there."
Hao Ren and Lily came to the domed building. Hao Ren nodded to the latter, and Lily reached out and pushed the unusually heavy door open.
With a loud bang, the heavy door, which seemed to weigh a ton, fell inwards. The sound of the metal door falling to the ground was almost deafening. Lily waved her hand to disperse the rising dust. "The door is broken. It must have been blown up."
Wayne looked at the scene dumbfounded. He could not help but mutter to himself, "No, the door opens outward."
