The unforeseen event did not throw them off guard . They immediately clenched their weapons and wielded their spells . They then ran out of the house, only to see a strange sight greeting them outside .
A huge, translucent barrier was shrouding the house . It was an energy shield-like cover with magic runes on it . Fog was gathering above, spinning and compressing into a fluid-like substance and forming an energy barrier . The barrier was blocking their way out in all directions . Lily immediately drew her Frostfire Claws about to dig her way out . Nangong Sanba stopped her . "Don't do that! Let's first figure out what this thing is . "
"We are trapped," Hessiana's face did not look good . "It's a trap!"
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment . He then rummaged through his dimensional pocket trying to find something useful . But before he could find anything, something began to appear outside the translucent barrier . The fog rolled up as a whirlwind of black smoke formed . The black smoke was pulling even more black smoke from the surroundings and quickly forming a human figure . It was Heimerwin, the seigneur who had crumbled into a pile of ashes in the house just a while ago .
However, this man now looked very different from the timid Heimerwin . He was standing straight with a strange sceptre in his hand, his expression cold as he stood outside the barrier as if he was examining his subjects of experiment . "Do you know how long I have waited?"
Nangong Sanba raised his crossbow and aimed it straight at him . "Heimerwin, what do you mean?"
"Just collecting the necessary power for my gate," this Heimerwin said with a blank expression . At the same time, he pointed to the magic barrier . "My advice to you is don't try to do stupid thing . It contains the hundreds of years of my power . Its power is enough to trap any ancient god of Mythological Era in an instant . You have no way to escape; the most sensible thing to do is calm down and wait for your power to be sucked out . It won't be very painful if you do not resist . "
As the voice of 'Heimerwin' trailed off, the magic barrier above them began to make a buzzing sound, and the white runes flowed in a complicated pattern; it was beginning to extract all the power of the souls inside the barrier . Hao Ren began to notice the weeds under his feet turned into ashes rapidly . Even the big house behind them was squeaking loudly . Nangong Sanba and Kassandra were the first to feel dizzy and power draining from their bodies .
Hessiana finally came to her senses . She held up her whip and pointed straight at 'Heimerwin' . "You are not a seigneur! You are Baptiste!"
The man outside the barrier nodded in a blank expression . "What took you so long? Was it so hard to guess, vampire girl?"
Hao Ren suddenly began to put two and two together . They were fooled right from the beginning!
The man before him was not a ghost of the seigneur . He was actually Baptiste, the witch they were looking for . He cast a necromantic spell and transformed himself into ashes, half-human half-ghost monster . He had completely erased the magic erosion mark left behind on the body of a wizard . Everything he said before was a lie . His ultimate purpose was to lure them to this abandoned house on the high ground .

Everything he said before was a lie . His ultimate purpose was to lure them to this abandoned house on the high ground .
He had set up a black magic circle that could extract the power of the living!
Hao Ren began to realise the timidity, awkwardness, neurotic and hysterical reactions of Heimerwin earlier were a disguise . The wizard wanted to divert their attention . He pretended to be a bumpkin nobility so that no one would be suspicious of him and asking him too many questions!
"I have been waiting for a long time!" Baptiste seemed to believe that the people inside the barrier were no more than sitting ducks . He began to talk to himself while waiting for this magic circle to draw their powers . "I left so many clues behind just for people like you . Aha, it's hard to get experimental material with magic power . The strength I could extract from a hundred commoners is not as great as that a magician could provide . Today I have more than one! I have been preparing for this for so long, I've been preparing for this so long! And, now I am finally going to get the last bit of magic that I've been so lacking . . . I can finally go deeper into Inferno!"
Baptiste seemed to have immersed himself in some kind of frantic imagination . Living alone in this ghostly place for hundreds of years had turned him mad . He spoke to himself and waved his weird sceptre in his hand, his expression was switching forth and back from deadpan to crazy . Amid all these, Hao Ren saw something emerged in the thick fog just a few metres away from him .
The silky fog was flowing in the air as water in the river . It turned into a huge vortex under the influence of magic as red light emerged within and gradually formed a huge sphere . The sphere was like a huge eyeball of a few metres in radius, embedded on the surface of the earth . Inside the smoky sphere, a twisted landscape was looming .
It was Infernal Gate . Baptiste had actually found the connection between the infernal dimension and the Earth, everything happened just as planned; as enough magic power was gathered, the Infernal Gate began to emerge in the heart of the magic vortex!

It seemed long-winded, but it all actually happened in a very short time . Hessiana immediately launched her attack on the magic barrier . She raised her long whip, which was shrouded by an intense icy wind and electric arcs . She whipped it on the magic barrier with a thunderous sound, but the barrier stood still without a scratch . Turcan and Kassandra also unleashed their attacks on the magic barrier, but still, it did not move an inch .
But Baptiste's sceptre flashed a few times when the barrier was attacked . He glanced at Hessiana indifferently . "Resistance is futile . You're only wasting your strength . "
"Do you know who you are talking to? If I told you who I am you will pee in your pant!" Hessiana lashed out, and then looked to Hao Ren . "Aren't you always resourceful? Please come out with something!"
Hao Ren reached into his dimensional pocket again looking for a bomb . But before he could took anything out, Lily already went up before the barrier .
The husky first scratched the barrier with her claws . After knowing that her claws were not going to defeat the barrier, she did the unexpected .
She sprawled on the ground and dug . . .
The boring ability of the maiden was well known to many . She could dig up a hole barehanded and bury herself in it the blink of an eye, not to mention she had two claws now . As she dug, earth and rocks were thrown up backward like a fountain behind her . And, she had bored through a hole under the barrier in just a few seconds .

Yes, that was how she got out .
Meanwhile, Baptiste was still holding his sceptre in his hand like Statue of Liberty . It was not that he did not notice Lily, even if he had, he would be still rooted to the spot like now . Any normal person would react the same way as he did when they first saw the husky . The evil wizard watched as Lily got out from the hole . He could not stop her because he was never prepared for this .
Lily sashayed up to Baptiste, grabbed the sceptre from his hand, and said, "Your magic barrier didn't reach into the ground, idiot . "
Batiste was stunned . "I have never seen one that could bore hole . . . "
Lily pursed her lips and broke the sceptre in half . The magic barrier immediately dimmed before disappeared completely . Hessiana surged in anger as she strutted towards Baptiste . At this moment, the unexpected happened .
Baptiste let out a creepy sound and lunged towards the Infernal Gate!
