It is a wise choice to give up the pursuit of the gray-robed wizard whose means of pursuit are strange and whose goal has become sacrifice.
Irina's blood has been shed as a tribute to Monica's deceased father, now it's Leonard's turn!
Two figures, one bright and one dark, reached a consensus in an instant.
Monica turned into a sharp arrow that blended into the shadows. She ignored the remaining commotion below and the scattered frightened guards in the corridor on the second floor. She jumped down and landed lightly next to the heavy iron door on the first floor leading to the underground warehouse.
Mark followed closely behind with big strides, his soul power vibrating slightly, interfering with possible magic detection nearby.
As a soul harmonizer, he naturally knew at the first moment that people from the Holy Light Church had appeared outside.
He didn't want what happened next to be seen by the Holy Light Church.
After all, Leonard is also an important witness in their report letter.
He and Monica killed Leonard for revenge, but the people from the Holy Light Church might be able to save Leonard.
The underground warehouse was filled with the odor of stale goods and a faint smell of blood.
Mark snapped his fingers, and an imperceptible holy light shield was instantly cast on Monica. At the same time, a colorful black light flashed in his eyes, and an invisible soul explosion spread like ripples.
"Ugh!"
Not far ahead, two guards of the Bellucci family who were vigilantly guarding the entrance to a secret passage disguised as a shelf felt as if their heads were hit by a sledgehammer. Their vision went black and they fell to the ground with a groan.
Although Mark's soul impact was not condensed into a specific skill by the system panel and could not directly kill the enemy, it was more than enough to deal with guards with average spirit attributes.
Monica didn't even look at the fallen guard, her fingertips quickly brushing across a few inconspicuous carvings on the side of the shelf.
With a few soft clicks, the shelves slid silently to the side, revealing a downward stone staircase behind it that smelled of mold and dampness.
For the appraisers of the Bellucci family, secret passages are really useless.
She could see through everything here with just one glance.
It was obvious that the panicked Leonard was trying to escape from here.
"He's been in there for less than twenty seconds!" Mark spoke quickly as he sensed the remaining soul energy in the passage.
"That's enough."
Monica's voice was as cold as the icy abyss in the Far North.
This dark secret passage is the perfect place for her to shine!
She rushed into the secret passage first, followed closely by Mark. With a backhand swing, he smashed the entrance mechanism with a giant cross, forcing the sliding shelves to jam, temporarily cutting off any possible pursuers or reinforcements.
At the same time, a message was also sent to Anna and Enzo, asking them to find an opportunity to leave the auction house.
The passage is narrow and winding, only wide enough for two people to walk side by side.
The faint light from the crystals embedded in the wall flickered, illuminating the fleeing figures ahead.
Leonard Bellucci's bloated body was carried by two loyal guards as he staggered down the slippery stone steps.
Although cold sweat oozed from his forehead and his breathing was heavy, his eyes, sunken deep in his fat, flashed with a deeper calculation than just fear, rather than pure panic.
"Waste! Stop them!" He heard the footsteps chasing him like a thorn in his tarsal bone, and suddenly turned around and roared. His voice was sharp due to the force, but the weight of the command was unquestionable.
In the dim light, Monica's cold face, stained with Irina's dark red blood, as if she had returned from hell, came into view.
Leonard's heart sank, and a chill rushed to his head, but he suppressed the scream that was about to come out.
The two guards were like puppets controlled by invisible threads. They stopped, turned around, and drew their swords in an instant!
The movements were so uniform that it was frightening. The fighting spirit of the high-level warriors suddenly erupted, like two burning barriers, blocking the narrow passage tightly, intending to use their lives to fight for the slim chance of survival for the head of the family.
"Get out of here!"
Monica's killing intent seemed to be real, and her speed increased instead of slowing down. The dagger cut through the air and pierced the throat of the guard on the left, so fast that only a trace of shadow remained!
"Bang!"
The sword of the guard on the right slashed fiercely at Monica's waist with a sharp scream that tore through the air, intending to attack Wei to save Zhao!
However, it was firmly held by the large cross shield that Mark condensed in front of him in an instant. The dark colorful black light collided with the violent magic power, and sparks flew everywhere!
Mark clenched his other hand in the air, and the invisible soul power wrapped around the legs of the guard on the right like a poisonous snake, causing his movement to suddenly stagnate!
clang--!
In the blink of an eye, the roar and blocking sounds of the guard on the left rang out at the same time!
The sound of daggers and swords clashing was deafening!
However, Monica's figure strangely faded at the moment of collision, as if blending into the shadow of the wall, and slid past the guard's stalemate blade like flowing water!
The high-level shadow assassin's terrifying mobility in narrow terrain is fully demonstrated.
The next second, she appeared like a ghost behind the guard who was completely unprepared!
Phew!
The ice-cold dagger pierced into the back of the heart without any hindrance like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, and came out through the chest!
The guard's body trembled violently, his eyes flashed with an unbelievable deathly gray, and the magic light was instantly extinguished.
At the same time, Mark's soul restraints suddenly tightened!
The guard's legs were entangled and his center of gravity was unbalanced, and his movements were completely stiff!
Then a cold light flashed in Mark's eyes, and a condensed colorful black light attached to the necklace that turned into a cross spear, and penetrated his unprotected chest directly!
"Ugh!" The guard groaned, and black and red blood instantly flowed from all his orifices. Without even being able to scream, he collapsed like a hollow bag of flour and died!
The two high-ranking guards, who were carefully trained by their families and had considerable strength, could not even survive a single breath under the inhuman tacit understanding and fierce killing of Monica and Mark!
At the front of the passage, all that was left was Leonard Bellucci's fat, frightened, but more resentful and unwilling back.
He stopped screaming in vain and instead exerted all his strength, almost pushing away the person who was supporting him, and staggered towards the glimmer of light at the end of the secret passage that symbolized a way to survival.
He ran, breathing rapidly, but his eyes swept across the stone walls on both sides like poisoned hooks, as if looking for something.
"Uncle Leonard," Monica shook off the warm blood beads on the dagger. The cold voice, as if coming from the underworld, echoed in the narrow and oppressive secret passage. "It's time to settle my father's account."
The figures of her and Mark were like two heavy shadows that were taking lives. With a murderous intent even stronger than before, they tore through the darkness again and chased after him quickly!
The cold stone steps stretched out beneath their feet, and the damp and musty smell mixed with the smell of fear and sweat emanating from Leonard's heavy breathing in front of them.
The light at the end of the secret passage was getting closer and closer. On the side of the end of the secret passage was a thick stone door that was well camouflaged.
And Leonard's target is exactly there!
