Chapter 65: The Most Noble and Impoverished (1)
Raymond Oswald Duplain, head of House Duplain, is dead.
Valerian, the eldest son, lost his mind due to a necromantic weapon brought from the White Zone in the north of Duplain territory. He destroyed the mansion, sacrificed numerous servants, and ultimately killed his own father.
He attempted to become a high-level necromancer by sacrificing the various guests and high-ranking magicians gathered at the mansion, but was struck down by Diella in a sudden attack.
The duchess, Miriela, fainted on the spot, and the second son, Leigh, fell into a coma from the aftereffects of the magic.
Other high-ranking servants and direct family members were also injured to various degrees, and more than half of the family members have yet to regain consciousness.
“Ugh… aaah…”
“W-what’s happening…? Where… are we exactly…?”
When the sun rose over the half-destroyed ruins of the Duplain mansion, the distinguished guests—nearly sacrificed in the main hall—began to stir and slowly get up.
As they opened their eyes, a horrific scene spread out before them. All of them doubted what they were seeing, unable to accept the current situation.
