The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess
chapter-418-30041322

Alex, after entering the Gray mansion, found a big basement underneath the mansion using his mana sensor.

He noticed Count Gray stepping inside alone so he followed him. Count Gray was just at Transcendent rank and doesn't pose any threat to him.

For a moment he was elated when he entered after witnessing the mass of accumulated wealth that this bastard ripped off from others but suddenly he started to have a bad premonition in his heart as he noticed Count Gray trying to open a box giving an ominous sign.

"Don't open it," Alex shouted.

Count Gray furrowed his brows seeing the man here.

"Who are you and how did you enter here?"Count Gray shouted with anger.

Alex didn't answer but hurled his way towards Count Gray.

Count Gray started to have a bad foreboding in his heart and thought the man was here for the box.

He wanted to steal the power.

"Shields!"Count Gray shouted and Alex, who had covered many meters in seconds, appeared close to him but was stopped by an invisible shield which pushed back due to the rebound.

Count Gray panicked and quickly opened the box inside from which a black pill emitting a darkish aura was kept and he immediately stuffed it into his mouth.

"Damn!" Alex gritted his teeth and clenching his fist, hit the barrier.

BANG!

The entire passage shook and a small crack appeared on it.

Alex slammed his fist again and again which sent tremors all around. The ground vibrated and soon the barrier burst into pieces.

As Alex stepped forward, a strong force assaulted him.

Powerful darkness aura erupted out of nowhere and at the centre of it, stood a man who screamed on top of his wrongs.

"!"

"What is happening to me?" He shrieked in terror due to the deep pain.

His veins bulged and his whole body seemed to be set on fire.

Alex felt a shiver down their spine as he saw a wriggling mass of darkness engulfing Count Gray and the man seemed to be melting.

Alex didn't know whether he should interfere as he was afraid of being engulfed by the unknown thing. He was looking at something that he had no prior information about.

He was brave but not stupid. Unless he knew about what was going on he wasn't going to touch that disgusting piece of shit.

"Why the hell am I so unlucky? How can there be so many coincidences?" Alex questioned himself in a frustrated manner as he found it too odd.

Alex raised his sword and prepared a light elemental strike while observing the thing before him.

Alex also fired spears made of light but it was blocked by a dark fog which entirely covered its vision.

He wasn't able to see anything ahead.

Maybe he could if he used darkness mana but he didn't want to switch to dark mode unnecessarily.

Soon, the black fog started to dissipate slowly and a shadowy figure stood.

His eyes emanated a dark greenish light and his entire body seemed to be engulfed with dark armour.

Alex could see the man was alive but he seemed to be lost himself. The current appearance of the man was similar to the shadow demon Alex had seen in hell.

"Don't tell me, the thing it eats before could convert a normal human to a shadowy creature of darkness similar to shadow demons."

Shadow demons were the guards of hell made by the Devil. They looked human except their body was strong and they were covered with an armour of darkness.

Screech!

The Shadow figure before Alex emitted a bestial shriek. Gnarly claws extended from its arm and it jumped towards Alex trying to tear him apart.

Alex pulled back his sword and dodged from the side letting the claw hit the ground leaving a claw mark.

While dodging, Alex flicked his sword which was parried by the other hand of Shadowy Creature.

CLING!

Alex's sword vibrated and the sound echoed throughout the place.

"Sure enough. Its claws are each strong as metal and his armour might also be very strong."Alex muttered while he ran around.

The Shadow Demon threw its claw while chasing after Alex.

SCREECH!SCREECH!

Alex wobbled his body and sidestepped dodging the claws while jumping through the passage.

The Shadowy creature which used to be Count Gray before has lost all its reason.

To tear Alex's part seemed to be the only thing going on in his mind. It was fighting on sheer instinct and attacking anything that threatened him.

The wall shook as it slashed its claw which hit the wall and destroyed it.

Cracks appeared on the ground and soon the tremors radiated up.

The entire Grey mansion seemed to shake due to the fight underground making everyone restless.

ROAR!

Unable to catch Alex, it roared out furiously, seemingly quaking and destroying the ground under its might.

Its strength was at the peak of Legendary rank and it seemed to be one step away from becoming Mythic rank but the power seems to become unstable making it more frenzy.

Normally, Alex would have gotten rid of it as quickly as possible but Alex's sharp senses noticed something amiss and he was able to find something.

He was sceptical at the sudden turn of events. Since Count Gray seemed to be too keen on taking the pill means that it arrived recently and he was sure it was today.

This made Alex think about whether the delivery man was still in the mansion or the city.

And Alex noticed the effect of the pill so he was sure the other side wasn't fooled enough to let this monster run amok and get noticed by higher authorities as it could tear a part of the entire city and cause irreparable loss.

So he concluded that they wanted Count Gray to kill someone who would arrive today.

He doesn't know whether his arrival was in their prediction but after using a mana map and sensing the flow of mana, he finally caught two rats far from the mansion observing the situation.

Two dark elves.

One at Transcendent rank and one at Peak Legendary rank.

Alex had marked their location and coated his sword in a light aura while wondering how to give them the biggest surprise of their lifetime.
