Throne of Magical Arcana - Chapter 142

Chapter 142
The finely decorated bathroom was in the corner of the dining room . Locking the wooden door from inside, Lucien did a careful check around and then took out his Morning Light crystal ball and the Grimsteel Dagger .


Lucien cut his finger with the dagger, making a drop of his blood splash onto the surface of the wash basin .
Dipping the blood with his right index finger, Lucien started to write in the air, leaving scarlet symbols floating in front of him in the shape of a relatively simple magic structure . This structure was meant to hide the magic waves that the crystal ball would cause .
The crystal ball named Morning Light slowly rose, and the strange symbols soon covered it . Lucien reached his hands out close to the crystal ball and started to murmur a mantra .
The center of the crystal ball became darker, and stars showed up all over it, as if there was a starry sky within .
This was one of the most unique spells in the school of Astrology, Horoscope .
After finding the crystal ball, based on the astrology knowledge he had as an apprentice, and also due to his previous understanding of astrophysics, Lucien soon learned Primary Horoscope . That made Lucien feel even more curious about destiny .
Staring at a shooting star in the crystal ball, Lucien frowned, "My Host Star of Destiny is… dimmer than before, which means that I’m still in potential danger . And… and the great danger is coming… it’s threatening my star . "
That was all the information that Lucien could collect from the crystal ball with his horoscope level . For more specific information Lucien needed a higher level of knowledge, as well as the power to cast it .
Even with a higher level of horoscope, the result wouldn’t always be accurate and could still be changed .


Putting the crystal ball back, Lucien took out Fire Weaver’s Bracelet and wore it on his wrist, as well as his Ice Revenger . Lucien took them off earlier before he met the baron, just in case Habearo could tell his identity .
The uneasy sense of foreboding was becoming more and more intense, which was burning Lucien’s guts .
Although he was still not sure if the danger was actually from the baron, Lucien decided to take the initiative and to be decisive . He could not just wait for the danger to come at him . By then, any action would be too late to be taken .
Opening the wooden door, Lucien walked out of the bathroom as if everything was just fine .
When he came back to the dining table, both Habearo and Kaelyn were not there .
"Where did the baron and Mrs . Kaelyn go?" Lucien tried to ask in a casual tone .
"The baron was not feeling very good, and Mrs . Kaelyn just accompanied him to go back to his bedroom to take some medicine . They’ll be back soon," Betty answered .
"Then I shall take a look at the baron to make sure he’s fine," Lucien nodded and said coldly .
"But Mr . Evans… the baron will be back soon . " Betty and the other guests were a bit surprised .
Without any further explanation, Lucien turned around and walked toward the door of the dining room .

"Mr . Evans… the baron wants us to stay here," Joanna said behind him .
"You shall stay in the dining room, like the lady said . " The two guards beside the door crossed their spears in front of Lucien and said in a polite but cold manner .
Lucien slightly nodded and smiled .
However, in the next second, Lucien suddenly pushed one of the guards away, drew his dagger and stabbed it right into the other guard’s arm .
"Mr . Evans!!" Betty screamed, "What’re you doing!?"
As soon as the dagger was stabbed into the guard’s arm, a putrid liquid burst out instead of the expected blood, spreading a horrible smell through the room .
Lucien’s movement was very swift . He pulled the dagger out and cut the guard’s throat open while he rolled forward on the floor to avoid the spear of the other guard .
Evans… Mr . Evans… killed the baron’s guard .
All of the guests were startled .
But soon they found that Mr . Evans was covered with a layer of white light . After Lucien managed to kill the other guard, the two bodies started to rot in a visible speed as if they were dead since long ago .
"This is…" Simon murmured subconsciously .
Lucien took back his Alert and answered calmly, "This is a husk . "
And then he turned to Mars, "Mr . Mars, do you know where the baron’s bedroom is?"
Mars was already shaking all over from what he just witnessed . He was not able to respond to Lucien properly until Joanna suddenly patted him on his back .
As soon as Mars uttered where the baron’s bedroom was, Lucien quickly made the arrangement, "Simon, you deal with the guards from the upper floor . Make sure you take care of Mr . Wise and Mr . Mars . Betty and Joanna, you watch the stair on the other side . "
After seeing that they nodded subconsciously, Lucien quickly rushed out of the door and disappeared into the shadows .
"Mr . Evans… He has the power of a knight?" Betty cried out .
"Betty, get your bow and come here!" Simon commanded .
. . .
Lucien was running at full speed in the dark corridor . After killing several husks, Lucien stopped a few steps away from the baron’s bedroom .
Staring at the door, Lucien activated Sun’s Corona and released the magic waves which were extremely detrimental to undead creatures . The four husks guarding the bedroom were instantly purified and fell to the ground .
At the same time, Lucien banged the door open with all his strength, tightly holding Alert and the Grimsteel Dagger .
A couple of black magic circles showed up in front of the door but immediately broke into shining pieces .
When the door was knocked open, Lucien quickly stopped the momentum to prevent himself from running into anything by accident, and simultaneously activated a magic structure in his soul and summoned two black magic missiles .
In the bedroom, Baron Harbearo, whose face was covered with deep and horrible wrinkles, was sitting in the center of a black magic triangle . His appearance indicated his condition was worsening and he was about to die at any moment .
On the tips of the triangle, three figures were tied up by black, half-transparent tentacles . A baby, a seven or eight-years-old kid, and a teenager of thirteen or fourteen .
There was white light coming out of their bodies, as if the tentacles were sucking up their vital energy . The light was being infused into a white eyeball that had no pupil . Kaelyn stood beside the baron, enchanting some kind of weird spell . Being driven by her spell, there were two lines of tears of blood coming out of the eyeball and falling into the silver cup in Habearo’s hand .
However, to the baron’s great surprise, the two magic missiles flew right toward his silver cup .
