Traveling through the game world, starting out as a third-rate villain

boom!

With a loud bang, the explosion shook the entire banquet hall, and the shock wave quickly spread in the air.

Ding Dong!

The chandelier overhead shook violently, and the delicate decorations swayed under the impact.

"what happened?"

Panic spread instantly, and the guests were shocked and at a loss for words. The impact of the explosion shook them, and some of them were still unawakened.

"I can't see!"

Chaos ensued, smoke obscured vision, and almost everyone was stunned by the impact of the explosion. Some people lost their balance and fell to the ground, while others barely supported their bodies and managed to stand.

Amid the chaos and smoke, the six heirs moved quickly, their fighting instincts and training immediately taking effect.

Julia and Carl immediately began to look around. They had experienced countless battles in the dungeon, and the instincts they had developed from countless life-and-death struggles allowed them to quickly enter combat mode.

boom!

The aftermath of the first explosion had not yet subsided when a second explosion occurred, this time closer to the crowd.

Bang!

However, the blast was blocked by a barrier that suddenly appeared and covered everyone who came close to the table.

"This is……"

When Alice and the others noticed the table, they were surprised to see that it had not sustained any damage.

"Everyone stay calm!"

A majestic voice sounded among the ruins and smoke. Almost everyone here knew the source of the voice, Chief Butler Reginald.

"People near the table, don't leave..."

boom!

However, before Reginald could finish his words, a third explosion interrupted him again.

"We have to stay together. We don't have any weapons right now." Alice said as she observed the barrier.

"And, Ethan. You stay among us," she ordered.

Ethan is a member of the academy, but he has just awakened and is not strong enough to deal with the current crisis.

"You know I won't do that." Ethan refused without hesitation. As a representative of the Hartley family, he couldn't back down at this time.

"Mage!"

As the order was given, the surrounding air suddenly began to vibrate and a strong wind appeared out of nowhere.

call!

Within seconds, the smoke that enveloped the hall was blown away by strong winds.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

As the smoke cleared, countless flickering portals appeared in the hall, their presence causing panic and confusion in everyone.

"What on earth is going on..." Lucas whispered, his eyes wide open, staring at this unusual sight. Others were equally confused, their instincts making them highly alert.

An invisible pressure came out of the portal, as if something terrible was lurking inside.

Suddenly, a spherical mechanical device popped out of the portal and quickly flew into the air.

Click! Click!

"shooting!"

The guards did not hesitate at all, and the mages and archers immediately launched an attack from a distance, aiming directly at the spheres.

But black energy covered the sphere, absorbing all their attacks.

bite!

Before others could react, these mechanical devices suddenly released a burst of energy, creating a magical magnetic field interference in the surroundings.

Buzz!

Then, the barrier covering everyone suddenly disappeared.

"They are causing mana interference!" Irina exclaimed, her voice full of urgency. As a mage, she was extremely sensitive to mana, and at this moment she found that she could not absorb the fire element from the surrounding environment.

The situation is very serious, the interference of mana means that the magic tools and formations cannot function properly, and it also makes the surrounding elements unstable.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

The lights that illuminated the room went out, and everyone was plunged into darkness.

"No!"

whoosh!

However, the crisis is far from over.

A gust of wind blew behind Irina, accompanied by the sound of something flying by.

puff!

This was followed by the sound of liquid splashing.

Bang!

Some of the liquid splashed onto her face.

'What's this?'

She was confused. Due to the interference of the magic power around her, her mind became dizzy and she couldn't think as quickly as usual.

"cough!"

Before she could react, she heard someone coughing, and the sticky liquid on her forehead slowly flowed into her mouth.

She was very familiar with this smell.

'Blood?'

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As the bloody smell of the liquid emerged in her mind, another wave of attacks came.

The darkness and the mana fluctuations in her surroundings had affected her mind. As a mage, her heightened sensitivity to mana had caused the disturbed elements to block her senses, leaving her more vulnerable than ever.

"Irina!"

At that moment, she felt someone.

Bang!

As she was thrown to the ground, through the man's body, she saw sharp black tentacles streaking through the air and passing by her.

"Um?"

"What are you doing?"

The magic power in her body was disturbed by the magnetic field and became chaotic, making her unconscious. It was as if something was directly affecting her body, making it impossible for her to think normally.

Bang!

Following the sound of the slap, she felt a sharp pain on her cheek. As the pain came, the dizzy world gradually calmed down.

Her eyes refocused and her consciousness returned to clarity.

"Wake up, Irina."

Standing in front of her was a boy with blue hair.

"You almost died."

His brown eyes were looking at her with obvious anger.

"Ethan."

Her hands trembled a few times, and then she saw tenderness reappear in the boy's eyes.

The constant stinging in her swollen cheeks made her feel annoyed, annoyed that she had to stand there in such a mess while others were protecting her.

Bang!

Another slap was heard.

"What are you doing?" Ethan asked, with concern and a hint of injustice in his eyes.

"What do you think?" Irina asked back, her voice trembling a little, and gradually regaining her strength.

Ethan blinked, a little stunned, and then showed an expression of sudden realization. "I think," he responded a little awkwardly. "That... is necessary."

They did not continue the conversation, the scene around them attracted their attention.

Blood spilled all over the ground as countless masked attackers emerged from the portal one after another.

They exuded a sense of oppression that did not belong to ordinary people, and bloody blood and a strong smell of fear filled the entire room.

But the Black family is not just a name, and even though the attack came as a surprise to them, that doesn't mean they weren't prepared.

"Form a formation!"

Whoosh! Whoosh!

With a loud shout, the hunters and awakened ones immediately entered the battlefield.

They are professionally trained to respond to emergencies and act quickly.

Spells and skills were cast, blades were unsheathed, and the sound of magic and steel clashing echoed through the halls.

Clang! Clang!

In an instant, the banquet hall turned into a battlefield. Blood continued to flow and blades continued to clash.

The attackers were no ordinary men. They were dressed in black, their actions were coordinated and their intentions were clear.

The level of the guards is close to that of the attackers, and this alone is enough to show how dangerous this organization is.

The Black family guards were gradually overwhelmed in the chaos and the relentless attacks of the tentacles, which attacked from all directions, making it difficult for them to organize an effective defense.

"Hold the line!" the captain of the guard shouted, trying to steady his men as they struggled to withstand the fierce attack.

Spells and arrows were unleashed in desperation, but the tentacles carried a dark energy that deflected or absorbed their attacks.

There is only chaos here.

......

"snake."

In the room filled with darkness, a hoarse voice echoed in the room.

"Report."

The owner of the voice was a burly man, staring at the picture on the screen.

call!

The fan continued to spin, and the huge room had the feel of a basement.

"Report, I am a snake."

A voice came from the monitor. It was a soft voice, belonging to a woman. Although the signal was interfered with, her voice was still clear.

"The information is correct, the thing is here." The voice called Snake confirmed.

The burly man grinned at the report.

"Very good, you can proceed now."

"receive."

After the communication was closed, the burly man stood there, staring at the screen.

"Did you hear that?"

He turned around and said. Behind him stood a veiled silhouette. From its hands, a steady stream of dark energy flowed out and shot towards the open portal in the room.

"Um."

The voice replied.

whoosh!

In response, another black tentacle shot out and headed straight for the portal.

"Well, are you willing to tell me now? We need to find the location of that thing." The burly man approached the figure with a smile.

whoosh!

His approach was stopped by a tentacle that flew past his ear.

"I remember warning you not to come near me."

"Okay, okay..."

The burly man took a step back, glancing warily at the tentacle's warning. The atmosphere was tense, filled with unspoken threats.

"As for my question..."

"No problem," the masked figure replied calmly. "I'll tell you the location as you requested."

"So......"

"Only after you catch him."

As the masked figure finished speaking, the burly man nodded.

"Well, make sure you're ready."

He turned to the screen again and opened the communication channel.

"Tiger, lion. You are free to move now."
