Chapter 274 (1): How Could the Family Not Fall Apart
“You disappointed me...”
Holding Shadow Nightmare, Wayne strode toward Auston. A portal opened, and an undead warhorse with cold light wrapping around its white bones stepped through. It was tall and muscular, its skull enveloped in black smoke and its mouth filled with interlocking fangs. It breathed out purple flames through its nostrils and mouth.
Julia.
Her appearance shattered any remaining hopes of those present, confirming Wayne to be the Death Knight.
He had arrived in time thanks to Juno’s call. After receiving the warning, Veryl, unable to reach Wayne directly, had contacted Mona. Realizing the urgency, she used the master-servant contract to alert Wayne of the situation.
He had just arrived at suburban Londan, planning to strike while the iron was hot and invite Vera’s family for a meal, showing off his substantial wealth to his future in-laws. As soon as he received the telepathic message, he jumped out of the car and summoned Julia to reach the battlefield as soon as he could.
Meanwhile, Mona was outside the spatial barrier. The yellow-robed Pale Nest, Do, Bo, Ottilia, and the other vengeful spirits in the library were rushing their way here.
With such powerful forces forming an encirclement, no one was going to leave without his permission, not even an ant.
Auston closed his eyes, slumping down to the ground with the silver coin in his tight clutch. Because of their resemblance, he didn’t like Wayne, not at all. Today was an exception. The little trash can was particularly tolerable at this moment.
Decaying Death energy swirled upward, grey vortexes surging violently. A menacing black armor took shape to complete the picture of the Death Knight shrouded in black smoke.
Juno and Celeste stared blankly at the tattered cloak fluttering past them. They couldn’t fathom how Wayne, suspected to be a reincarnated angel, would turn out to be the Death Knight. It was far more absurd than Auston being the Darkness Knight.
Moreover, two chosen knights in one family? How did the Lando family handle it? Did they fight every day?
