Gamers of the Underworld Chapter 460 - Lilo's Help

It was the Fallen Angel Lilo who created the explosion.

As the guards refused her entry, the hot-tempered Fallen Angel blasted the Merchant Alliance manor’s door.

When Nicholas arrived, he saw the Fallen Angel, who resided in Winterfell for a short period of time. He knew about the relations.h.i.+p between the Fallen Angel and Lord Sherlock.

Nicholas followed the Orc commander quickly to the manor’s door. The scene was in ruins.

Fortunately, n.o.body was injured. Only the huge metal door was blown to bits, as the Fallen Angel had used it to vent her anger.

After the fanfare, she asked a simple question.

“Where is Sherlock?”

…

When the staff members arrived at Sherlock’s room, it was locked, and there was n.o.body inside.

When they looked for Lord Sherlock’s secretary, Eggface, he was befuddled. In fact, Eggface wasn’t fully awake.

“Lord Sherlock’s door was closed. How would I know what he was doing?”

Eggface looked irritated as he rebuked the staff members before returning to his dwelling.

Nicholas was embarra.s.sed. He didn’t expect the Black Dragon to be that insolent.

He thought that Eggface would be courteous since he had a good relations.h.i.+p with Sherlock. It was too much to ask of a Black Dragon.

It would be strange if a Black Dragon treated anyone with respect.

“Miss Lilo, as you’ve seen, Lord Sherlock might be resting. Shall we look for him tomorrow?” Nicholas said to Lilo beside him.

Lilo frowned and placed her hand on the door.

Then there was another loud explosion.

The door was blasted open, just like the huge door of the manor.

Nicholas was shocked. Was Lilo not afraid that Sherlock would be disgusted by her action? A guy didn’t like to be disturbed at this time.

Lilo walked into the room. Nicholas didn’t want to go in, but he was afraid Sherlock and Lilo might break into a fight. If a superior Devil and a Fallen Angel fought, then it wouldn’t be as simple as blasting a door.

The Merchant Alliance made good arrangements for the privacy of Sherlock. There were no other guests staying beside Sherlock.

Nicholas was counting his blessings. At least there wouldn’t be spectators watching the embarra.s.sing scene.

Both of them stepped through the door and surveyed the living room.

The interior was Lord Sherlock’s bedroom. However, they shouldn’t enter as it could be fatal. Who knew what Sherlock and the Succubus were doing?

Nicholas only allowed a female Succubus a.s.sistant and an Orc staff member to follow Lilo into the bedroom.

He was mentally prepared for a third explosion, but it didn’t occur.

“Lord Nicholas, please come here!” The voice of his staff came from the bedroom.

Nicholas was taken aback. He hesitated for quite some time before going in. It shouldn’t be that bad since the hot-tempered Fallen Angel didn’t cause any more explosions.

Nicholas walked in. The bedroom wasn’t what he imagined.

It wasn’t an embarra.s.sing scene. Sherlock was sitting on the bed, and Evelynn was sitting beside Sherlock.

There were elliptical Mana Formations at their feet.

At this moment, the Mana Formations were active.

That was why the staff called Nicholas in.

“Everyone, stop moving!” Nicholas shouted immediately. He felt something was amiss when he saw the Mana Formations.

All the staff members were stunned. They froze as they looked at Nicholas.

“This is a high-level Mana Skill to control the victim’s awareness! I have only seen this in legendary books. Lord Sherlock is under an awareness attack. Both of them are trapped in the Mana Formations!”

Nicholas was terrified. He turned his head and said to the guard who was by the door, “Look for Magicians. The more, the better. We’re going to need a lot of Mana to break the Mana Formation!”

The guard ran out and looked for Magicians of the Merchant Alliance.

Nicholas muttered to himself as he paced around the Mana Formations. He was trying to estimate the amount of time required to create the Mana Formations. One month, two months, or three months? Nicholas didn’t have confidence, and he wasn’t sure whether Lord Sherlock and Evelynn would be adversely affected after the Mana Formations were removed.

Nicholas made up his mind to save Lord Sherlock, no matter how long it took. Lord Sherlock had helped Nicholas numerous times, so he couldn’t leave Lord Sherlock in the lurch. He decided to use his entire fortune to employ the best Magician team and rescue Lord Sherlock.

Nicholas had just spent his fortune to help Lord Sherlock. So, where was he going to obtain the money? Of course, he was going to obtain it from the Merchant Alliance!

He didn’t notice Miss Lilo walk to the bed and examine the Mana Formations. She extended her hand and pressed down on them.

The Mana Formations vanished.

“Hoo…”

Sherlock opened his eyes and exhaled, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

“Lord Sherlock, are you alright?” Nicholas didn’t know what happened. He looked at the awakened Sherlock and the vanis.h.i.+ng Mana Formations in surprise.

To Nicholas, the Mana Formations were G.o.dly, but they were simply removed by a Fallen Angel who pressed her hand on them. It was terrifying. Was that the true capability of the Fallen Angel?

Evelynn was still unconscious on the bed. Her breathing was smooth, and she was in no danger.

Sherlock covered Miss Evelynn with a blanket gently, causing Lilo to turn her head and scoff.

Humph.

The commotion in the room awakened the parrot Phoenix who was placed in another small room.

The red parrot flapped his wings and flew into the bedroom. He landed on Sherlock’s shoulder and said in tears, “It’s great, Lord Sherlock. It’s good that you’re fine. I was worried to death, afraid you might not wake up. That would be terrible! I was prepared to be buried with you.”

Sherlock wasn’t sure if the parrot was speaking the truth. He looked at Lilo, who was taken aback.

“Yo,” Sherlock said to Lilo as he lifted up his hand.

“What’s going on, Sherlock? I heard you brought Evelynn to attend a Ball. I didn’t know you were researching Mana Formations.”

Lilo frowned. She didn’t show her anger over Sherlock sitting next to Evelynn on the bed.

A Fallen Angel was a creature that didn’t show any expressions on their face.

“There’s a slight problem. I’ll explain it to you later.” After speaking to Miss Lilo, he said to Nicholas, “Lord Nicholas, thank you for hurrying over. I hope you’ll tighten the security around my bedroom. I have some confidential matters to discuss with Miss Lilo.”

Nicholas nodded with understanding and said to his staff, “Everyone will leave. Do not divulge anything. Do you understand?”

All of the staff members left, then Nicholas bowed to Sherlock and went out.

As an experienced Vampire Lord, he was clear that he had to keep what he saw confidential. It was definitely not a coincidence that both Lord Sherlock and Miss Evelynn were trapped in the Mana Formations. From what he heard, Lord Sherlock must have purposely chosen to be in the Mana Formations. It could be related to an important secret, so it was best that he stayed clear.

Lilo shut the door and locked it. She then created a small Mana Formation on the door before looking at Sherlock and asking, “Can you tell me what’s happening now?”

“Simply speaking, I discovered a monster with powerful Mana in Miss Evelynn’s body, one good at deception. I didn’t detect anything previously, and I believe you didn’t either.”

Sherlock got off the bed and picked up the unfinished cup of b.l.o.o.d.y chrysanthemum tea that was on the table. Then he said, “You have seen what happened after that. After I entered Miss Evelynn’s body, I wanted to chat with the monster and check out his background. I wanted to coax him to come out, but he was happy staying inside Evelynn. He had no intention of coming out. In fact, he wanted to keep me with him.”

“Did I save you?” Lilo raised her brow and asked Sherlock.

“You saved the monster. If you hadn’t removed my Mana Formations, I would have killed him.” Sherlock frowned and said, “I intend to keep the monster as my pet.”

The red hot parrot quivered his feathers and widened his eyes as though he recalled something unpleasant.

“It’s alright, It’s better this way. I may have opportunities to get him out in the future. However, it won’t be easy to go in and speak to him.”

Sherlock looked at Lilo and asked curiously, “Why are you here suddenly? Shouldn’t you be busy capturing the Wyvern at Victoria City?”

“It’s a pity I can’t have a Great Dragon as my ride. However, I can still put up with a Wyvern. When I received information that you were attending a Ball, I came over immediately.”

Lilo put both of her hands on the sides of the bed, then tipped her leather shoes and sat right beside Sherlock. She said, “It was the correct decision to come over here. I helped you.”

“Yes, thank you. Are you leaving tonight?” Sherlock smiled and asked.

“No, I’m sleeping in this room.” Lilo shook her head. Before Sherlock had a chance to speak, she pointed at Evelynn and said, “She’s staying with me. You’ll take another room.”

…

Sherlock was chased from the bedroom, but he didn’t feel it was a pity even though there were a Succubus and Fallen Angel inside.

“Lord Sherlock, this isn’t a wise decision. Haven’t you considered the possibility that Miss Evelynn may not survive the night with Miss Lilo?” Bru asked Sherlock.

“Do you think Miss Lilo is a Devil who kills without batting an eyelid? She was an Angel before. Believe me, she won’t do such a thing to Evelynn,” Sherlock explained to Bru.

But Bru said with concern, “Lord Sherlock, you said that she was an Angel, but now it’s hard to say. Though I think the useless Evelynn is better off dead, I’m only joking. Please don’t take me seriously.”

“Let’s put aside these irrelevant issues.”

Sherlock said as he walked, “There are many things to attend to tonight.”
