Chapter 188
The wind blew. It was an exceedingly bleak and cold wind.
Through the assassins of the Shadow Court, Dale had gained a rough grasp of the information concerning the Wallachian County. Moreover, it wasn’t difficult to anticipate that a gathering of the 《Assassins’ Guild》 was taking place within the Count’s mansion.
A certain organization gathered, led by Gilles de Rais—now known as the Count of Wallachia.
Dale’s immediate goal was not to confront them all head-on in a fair fight.
Yet he volunteered to enter the enemy’s lair for one reason.
They had summoned Dale.
Jack the Blade was nothing more than an invitation to summon the Shadow Lord from the very beginning.
Moreover, just as Jack the Knife claimed to be one of Laplace’s Apostles, there must be others within the 《Oath》 possessing similar abilities. Furthermore, they must have predicted this situation through some form of intelligence.
Therefore, as the Shadow Lord, there was no reason for him to refuse their summons.
Above all, the trustworthy ones who guarded his side were with him.
“Master Baro, and Lady Aurelia.”
Lady Shadow was not a knight guarding Dale from within the shadows. She merely cloaked herself in Saxon black armor and declared herself the sword that served the Shadow Lord alongside Master Baro.
Like Jack the Ripper, the demon at their side was never an easily recognizable being spewing sulfuric flames.
Therefore, to know the truth of the demons, one had to willingly see.
