The glass greenhouse outside the window reflects the pale sunlight, and the bright and juicy roses are so conspicuous even in the thin mist.
In the bedroom, Duke Negan seemed to have regained the feeling of his youth when he followed his father and elders, riding horses on the vast land, driving hounds, and chasing wild beasts.
Finally, he reached the top, and everything around him seemed to become unusually quiet.
At this moment, his mind suddenly buzzed, and he felt the pleasure and comfort suddenly explode, and exploded continuously, exploding again and again without limit and end.
Duke Negan's waist was shaking, his eyes went blank, and his brain was lost.
His heart began to beat violently, unbearably, like a steam boiler whose pressure had exceeded its limit to an unknown degree. It could explode at any moment, and scalding mist could spew out at any moment.
If it were an ordinary person or an extraordinary person with not so strong physical fitness, he would have suffered a myocardial infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, and died on the spot. However, Duke Negan finally survived, but his eyes were blank, drooling at the corners of his mouth, and he fell powerlessly towards his mistress who was lying on his back.
The "Wind-loving One" and the Duke's secretary, who were on guard in the rooms on both sides, simultaneously sensed the spiritual abnormality and mysterious smell. A violent gust of wind suddenly surrounded the former, sweeping him against the wall, which created a big hole with a clang and led him into the bedroom.
The secretary went straight to the source of the mystery - the attic of the house!
He did not dodge or evade along the way, but the vases and other decorative objects in the corridor seemed to have their own lives and avoided him in clever ways.
As he leaped up the stairs toward the attic, the wooden floor seemed to be rising, as if to help him.
In just three or four seconds, this well-mannered, handsome blond young man entered the attic and saw a figure sitting on an old chair.
The figure was covered in sticky black liquid, like a collection of all the ugly desires and intense emotions deep in the human mind. It was the greed that was willing to sell the rope to hang itself, it was the hunger that did not want to let go of its own kind, and it was the unrestrained lust.
This is the devil walking on the earth!
The thin secretary's expression did not change, nor did he launch an immediate attack. Instead, he looked at the other party, reached back, and politely closed the door.
Bang!
The wooden door of the attic was closed.
The whole room suddenly felt like it was completely blocked off, and it seemed impossible to leave without any effort.
At this moment, the concept of "close the door and seal the room" seems to have been tampered with into "seal this place and isolate the inside and the outside"!
The "Apostle of Desire" moved. His body swelled and grew larger, and he grew a pair of huge bat wings that emitted light blue flames.
Fireballs emitting a strong smell of sulfur took shape and bombarded Duke Negan's blond secretary one after another.
The secretary stretched out his left white-gloved hand, clenched it suddenly, and half-turned his wrist.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fireballs no longer followed the principles of straight lines or parabolas, and scattered violently in all directions in such a chaotic manner that they resembled the irregular motion of tiny particles proposed by a botanist. Some of them hit the wall, some hit the ceiling, some fell beside the weak secretary, and some went backwards, almost injuring the "Apostle of Desire" himself.
The entire attic was in a mess, with broken and charred traces everywhere, and even the house shook twice.
However, the mysterious power or the tampered rules of this "sealed" place have not been destroyed. The surrounding walls, old wooden doors and dusty roof are just crumbling but have not fallen.
The "Apostle of Desire" was not frustrated by the failure of the previous attempt, nor was he panicked because the other party was calm and restrained, unable to control or catalyze. His brown eyes suddenly leaped with magma-like fiery red, condensing into the appearance of a blonde secretary, and uttered a word in the demon language full of filth and stench:
"die!"
Almost at the same time, the secretary wearing gold-rimmed glasses narrowed his pupils, opened his left fist, and pointed his palm at the "Apostle of Desire".
Suddenly, his figure split into two. One was the gentle and thin him, and the other was a shadow covered with the black liquid of "desire". The two alternated rapidly and overlapped from time to time.
"die!"
The obscene words echoed in the attic. The secretary groaned and took two steps back.
The differentiated figure then dissipated, and large patches of rust-red marks immediately appeared on his body and face, as if he had turned into an iron man who had been placed in a damp place for many years.
Cough, cough, cough! He coughed violently, spitting out blood that had solidified into lumps and was covered in rust.
The marks on his body slowly fell off.
Cough cough cough!
The "Apostle of Desire" was also coughing, and coughed up blood that had condensed into lumps covered with rust. The sticky black liquid covering his entire body suddenly became much thinner.
It seemed that half of the effect of his dirty talk was transferred to Duke Negan himself by his secretary!
…………
Inside the bedroom.
The "Wind-Blessed One" helped Duke Negan up and kicked the beautiful mistress to the other side in case she was an accomplice of the attacker.
The reason why he didn't help Mr. Secretary was because he knew very well that he had only one duty, which was to protect Duke Negan!
In similar situations, you must be wary of more than one enemy!
At this time, Duke Negan calmed down a little, but although he was quite powerful, his hands and feet were still weak, his body was empty, and his spirit was listless. He was completely unable to use his extraordinary abilities.
He motioned to the Wind-Blessed One to remove the conch necklace from his neck and brought the object to his mouth.
Duke Negan took a breath and blew it out suddenly, blowing it into the small conch covered with strange patterns.
Crash!
The low sound of the tide spread out and rushed towards the Holy Wind Cathedral.
"With the speed of His Excellency the Archbishop, he will be here soon!" The "Wind-Follower" first said a comforting word, then carried Duke Negan on his back, walked to the window, and jumped down.
He was going to meet up with the Duke’s Guards outside, which also included two or three low-sequence Beyonders.
Duke Negan panted and said:
"Catch them alive, or a spirit...
"I want to know who it is!"
Last time it was the pirate general Qilingos who came to assassinate him, and this time it was a strange and powerful Sequence 5. Duke Negan asked himself if he had ever developed a feud with anyone to such a level of life and death recently, so he was particularly angry and resentful.
He wants to find out who is behind this and use all his resources to tear the other party apart!
The premise of all this is to find clues from the assassin.
Seven or eight seconds later, most of the Duke's Guards rushed over, surrounding Pallas Nigan and the Wind-loving One in the middle, surrounding them in front of the garden.
"Just wait here and be on guard against the enemy." The Wind-Follower gave the order.
According to the normal process, he should protect the Duke and get him away from the assassination scene as quickly as possible and rush to the safe place of Holy Wind Cathedral, but he was not sure whether there were other enemies and was afraid of being ambushed on the way. Most importantly, he was worried that he would miss the support of "Singer of God" Ace Snake and fall into an even more dangerous situation.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... Time passed, the house shook from time to time, and the battle inside seemed to have entered a white-hot stage.
"Why hasn't the archbishop come yet?" Duke Negan, who had recovered his breath, asked in a panic.
Based on the opponent's flying speed, they should be arriving soon. However, there is no sign of the mist being blown away in the direction of Holy Wind Cathedral.
The Wind-Favored One was on high alert and said hesitantly:
"Perhaps, perhaps the Archbishop, the Archbishop..."
He ultimately did not say anything about the possibility that the Archbishop was not at Holy Wind Cathedral.
At this moment, Duke Negan's beautiful mistress walked to the window of the second-floor bedroom, with a confused look in her eyes and a sad smile.
Then she leaped down, deliberately landing on her head on the concrete floor.
Bang!
After a teeth-grinding sound, a large crack appeared on the beautiful head and blood gushed out.
She rolled weakly several times and finally fell face up.
Her eyes completely lost focus, and her frozen expression was full of madness and fear.
Seeing this scene, many members of the Duke's Guard could not help but feel fear.
Even Duke Negan himself felt like he was on the verge of emotional collapse due to the delay in the arrival of Archbishop Snake.
"Go! Get away from here!" he shouted instinctively, weakly.
"The Wind-Favored One" was just feeling lucky that he did not show mercy and kicked the mistress away immediately, otherwise the Duke might have been killed on the spot. At this moment, when he heard the fear-filled order, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
In the attic, the "Apostle of Desire" who was in a fierce battle suddenly liquefied and turned into many black shadows, running all over the ground.
After avoiding the attack from the blonde secretary, he re-formed himself in another direction.
Then he looked at the enemy, raised his right arm, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"No!" The blonde secretary's eyes suddenly turned red.
In an instant, the "Apostle of Desire" clenched his fists.
Outside this luxurious house, Duke Negan's fear suddenly exploded, rushing straight into his brain, drilling into his blood vessels and covering his nerves.
He heard the sound of something breaking and felt a warm sensation at the back of his head.
At the same time, several members of the Duke's Guard became panicked and raised their special revolvers or rifles and fired indiscriminately towards the center.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The "Wind-loving One" took the lead, hugged Duke Negan, and rolled to the ground. Invisible winds as sharp as knives appeared out of thin air and cut the throats of the guards.
Plop, plop! The guards covered their throats and slowly fell to the ground in the blood. Duke Negan's body twitched a few times and then stopped moving.
He was killed by his own fear.
If he was not a Sequence 6 Beyonder, his fear would have even torn him apart.
Of course, if he had not become extremely weak, he would not have had such intense emotions, and even if he had, he would not have died directly from it.
But there are no ifs in this world. The leader of the Conservative Party, the largest land noble besides the king, the elder brother of the current prime minister, a Sequence 6 Beyonder, a bona fide big shot, Duke Pallas Nigan, died just like that.
The roses in the nearby glass greenhouse are still in bloom.
In the attic, the blonde secretary obviously noticed something and could no longer control her emotions.
As a result, his mind went blank and he ran out anxiously and opened the door of the sealed room by himself.
Two seconds later, he reacted and turned around again, but the figure covered in black liquid and the suitcase in the corner were gone.
…………
The "Apostle of Desire" quickly left the villa and evacuated the scene along the predetermined route.
At this moment, a thick blood-red ocean seemed to appear before his eyes.
