Meanwhile, Wayne was running at his top speed with Veronica in tow. “What did I say about building a subway here? See? Now that we’re under invasion, we can only rely on our feet because there’s no subway.”
Veronica looked up at the sky as Wayne dragged her forward, her mouth open in an O. It was massive!
In the dark night sky, the lone moon gradually turned oval, and its soft, flowy light became pale and dim. No, it wasn’t a moon, but a massive insect egg with a pointy tip and a round bottom. It wriggled like a worm with a soft body, and as it expanded and writhed, the pointy tip opened into a black orifice. Large swathes of black slime poured down from high in the sky.
The dome-shaped magical barrier made the sizzling sound of water hitting hot oil. The viscous fluid burst and scattered, turning the dome black.
The magical barrier shielding the Lando Estate fought back, triggering layers upon layers of magic circles from the main house to the zenith of the dome. Even on a rough count, there were more than a thousand magic circles in place.
Wayne’s jaw dropped. As expected of the Old Two-Face. Auston’s shell was so thick that the sight of it alone deterred invasion. They couldn’t lose.
He entered the main house with Veronica and headed straight to the study. On the way, they saw servants who had armed themselves to the teeth, the combined firepower a sight to behold.
Veronica said in astonishment, “So there is a demon, but why are they coming here?”
The fact that the demon was real meant that the agreement was real, too. Her heart sank. She couldn’t accept it. Since the current head of the family had a butler moonlighting as a secretary and a lover, the next should only have a simple butler. Veryl was good enough!
Bam!
Wayne kicked the door down. When he saw the three key figures of the family in the study, he rushed out, “I was on a date with Veronica in the grove when the moon suddenly changed shape. Who created the barrier? Was Auston caught for treason?”
“Who was on a date with you?!”
