Chapter 4176 Penetration
Without hesitation, Shad unleashed four chains of great sin, piercing the "Old Man of the Scroll" through the air and striking his chest. The latter tried to block the chains, but the Church's twelfth-circle sorcerer gave him no chance. The instant his "heart" was ripped out by the chains, the creature that appeared to be an old man exploded into pieces of dry, flaky skin.
The "heart" that had been removed wasn't a human heart at all; it was a yellowed leather scroll. Shad manipulated the chains to unfurl it in mid-air. The ancient runes written on the scroll were incomprehensible even to Miss Felian Anna, but Shad understood them at a single glance:
"This is the original body of the Old Man of the Leather Scroll, and this is the index of the human skin scrolls treasured by the [Leather Goods Museum]!"
"Are you going to destroy it?"
Mr. Delon asked, he seemed to be in good condition, but the church's 12th-circle sorcerer looked seriously injured.
Even without Miss Felicia's reminder, Shad knew he couldn't do that:
“Some of the scrolls here contain protocols, and protocols are also constraints. Destroying this index could cause even greater trouble than the complete loss of control of the Leather Goods Guild.”
The "Moonlight Halo" shrouded in purple light bound the catalogue, temporarily sealing it. Then, Shade took out a small coffin, threw the scroll inside, and sealed it again with the "Coffin of the Underworld." Finally, he handed the small coffin to Vige, who was standing nearby, for safekeeping.
The scenery of the "Moon Library" faded, and the deep, secluded library scenery of the guild hall returned. Shad reached out to search, and although the power of the guild hall resisted Shad's power, the two scrolls quickly flew from the bookshelf into his hands on their own.
The scroll bearing Shad's real name was burned by him, the smeared human skin smelling nauseating to everyone. As for the other ancient scroll, sealed with wax and bearing the inscription "Leather Goods Guild," Shad could sense the mermaid's power even without opening it.
If you were to tear it apart right now, you might witness "desire" come ashore for the first time.
She gently reminded him, not to stop him from doing so, but to see how he would decide.
If Miss Felianana hadn't appeared, Shad would probably have destroyed the ancient contract to completely resolve the issue of the [Leatherworks Guild], a relic that truly disgusted him. But now, with the help of the demigod witch, Shad doesn't need to do that for the time being.
“I want to take this opportunity to completely contain the [Leather Goods Guild]. Can you two help me? We need to continue to the guild’s core exhibition area. Now that the library has appeared, I think the core area shouldn’t be far from here.”
He put away the ancient contract scroll and then extended an invitation to Mr. Delon and the 12th-circle sorcerer who had just used the [Church of Dawn] divine spell.
The latter immediately nodded:
“No problem. My original purpose in entering the Leather Goods Guild was only to gather intelligence. If I can have the opportunity to completely take over the guild, it will be worth it even if I sacrifice myself in the battle that follows.”
Mr. Delong hesitated for a moment:
"You guys go first. I haven't found what I'm looking for yet. I'll catch up with you after I find it. No, not in this room, but definitely nearby."
He then added:
"About twenty minutes ago, I encountered a stranger who came in with us. He was using demonic power."
Shad's eyes lit up:
"Evil spirits and demons?"
"No, he just looks like a demon using demonic powers. He was fighting the leatherworkers in the guild at the time, and I didn't disturb them. You need to be careful; that demon is different from the ones I've encountered before."
Shad asked again:
"Were you the first to make a move in the guild hall? I also felt the power of the demons after the first tremor in the guild hall. The demons were not the first to make a move."
Besides Shad and Vige, a total of seven people entered the guild hall. However, neither Mr. Delong nor the twelve-ringed sorcerer from the Church of Dawn were the first to make a move. Vige understood why Shad was asking this question; there was only one of the seven whose identity they didn't know, and Vige suspected that person was her mother.
After saying goodbye to Shad, Mr. Delong left through the main door of the room. The 12th-circle warlock from the Church of Dawn joined Shad, Vigo, and Ellie's group. Although Ellie had found one of the things Shad cared about most, the little girl sniffed around again before transforming back into her original form and rushing forward.
“That person just now was a traitor to the Church of Creation.”
As they continued on their way, Shad spoke softly, and the ring sorcerer from the Church of Dawn nodded:
"Yes, but he is a member of the [Creation Church], and has nothing to do with me."
Shad nodded in understanding, and the Night Watchman slashed to the side, severing the human skins that had gathered in the darkness. The group continued into the deeper darkness of the guild hall.
Ellie had clearly found the core direction of the [Leatherworks Guild]. This was not only because more and more enemies were blocking the group's way, but also because the little unicorn's efficiency in crashing into the walls was rapidly decreasing, and the walls were becoming increasingly sturdy.
They did not encounter the demon that Mr. Delong had mentioned, but from the traces of battle they encountered on their way, both Shad and the teacher of the Church of Dawn sensed the power of the demon. Although Shad did not bring the detection crystal given to him by the doctor this time, he was almost certain that it was related to the "withering demon".
The professor from the Truth Society and the ring sorcerer from the Magic Eye Club also appeared on the group's path. The latter two obviously had their own purposes, and followed the group without saying a word after encountering them.
Although Xia De did not know what they wanted to do, he did not stop them from following him.
After exchanging information while fighting, Shad also learned that they were not the ones who caused the first tremor at the [Leatherworks Guild].
"Were the fakes the first to make a move? Shouldn't they have waited for me to make my move first? No, I am very familiar with the power of the fakes, they were definitely not the first to make a move."
Shad then asked his companions if they knew the "Seventh Man." Things had progressed to this point, and there was no need to conceal anyone's identity. However, neither the church's teachers nor the ring sorcerers of the illegal organization knew who the last man was.
However, the ring sorcerers of the [Eye Club], who possess cobalt blue magic eyes, provided information:
"The person was wearing leather from head to toe. Although my eyes couldn't see through the leather completely, I was certain that there was a woman underneath. She was probably a middle-aged woman, but I couldn't make out any more precise details."
Vige, who was casting a spell beside Xia De, glanced at Xia De, and Xia De knew what she was thinking.
The mysterious woman remained unseen, and although demonic power appeared frequently, the demon itself never materialized. Instead, with another tremor of the ground and the eruption of whispering elements, the unique flesh-and-blood power of the [House of the Pseudo-Humans] appeared on the walls of the guild hall. Blood streaks and fleshy carpets corroded the surrounding space, and a foul-smelling blood mist spread from the darkness.
"The House of the Fake Humans has arrived here!"
The struggle between the two relics, both possessing the power of spacetime, finally opened the path to the depths of the relics for outsiders. The four-person butterfly maiden, already only one step away from success, caught a glimpse of a crack amidst the spatial chaos at the moment the guild hall collided with the House of the Pseudo-Humans:
"go!"
Oakham Park, the lake island shrouded in blood mist, and the interior of the island's buildings are all connected. The witches from the outside world and all the girls exploring the lake island appear together inside the [Leatherwork Hall] with the help of the Butterfly Wing Girl's power.
Vige sensed their arrival immediately, while Ellie and her group were in the collection room outside the main exhibition hall of the club.
The two ring mages from the [Eye of the Demons Club] and the [Truth Society] had left the group to search for something that might be here. Shad handed a glass bottle to Vigo, who immediately understood what it was upon touching it:
"Yes, this is the one-eighth of Aurora that the tanners hid away."
This glass bottle was different from the retort used by Vigo's mother, but both could store the mixture of flesh and soul. Vigo didn't rush to combine the liquids from the two bottles; instead, she asked Shad:
"They've already entered, and the ring mages from the church and other factions will likely appear soon. Should we wait here, or continue forward?"
At this moment, only one wall remains between this location and the core area of the [Leather Goods Hall]. The rooms in this area have become very strange, as if two buildings of different styles have been merged together, with floor tiles and walls forcibly fitted together everywhere.
The House of the Pseudo-Humans and the Leatherworks Guild are devouring and merging with each other. Shad even suspects that in the worst-case scenario, neither side will be able to completely devour the other, and the two will eventually merge into a new relic.
“We can’t wait. Although I agreed to cooperate with the fake humans, I don’t really want to see them fully recover. In any case, let’s go deeper into the core area and see what’s going on.”
Shad made the decision, and Miss Ferrenanna on his shoulder strongly agreed:
"Such a fusion of relics may not occur even once every few thousand years. Although I am very curious about what will happen in the end from an academic point of view, it is better to interrupt them for the sake of safety."
"It seems that the chosen ones of fate cannot penetrate this wall."
The man from the Church of Dawn, who was following behind the group, said that Ellie was currently facing the wall covered in blood in front of her in the form of a unicorn. She had already rammed into it twice, but was bounced back each time.
The defiant little unicorn wanted to keep trying, but this wall was not only a barrier dividing the core area of the [Leatherworks Guild], but also possessed the power of the [Pseudo-Human House], which Ellie could not penetrate with her racial talent alone.
