When Jas saw these people, he stayed where he was for a few seconds, he couldn't believe his eyes. He really couldn't figure out what was going on, how was he going to get out of a place like this, how was he going to clean this floor?
Rosewell waited for a while after the family mbers ca down the stairs and took a chance to get closer to Elanor.
"I don't think I've seen you before, thank you so much for coming to my birthday party."
When Elanor uttered those kind words, the grimace on Jas's face had reached a colossal level, it was impossible not to feel sad. The bloodied young woman he had seen only a dozen minutes before was now bowing her head in thanks.
"Lady Elanor, forgive my rudeness, but please follow , I have so very important information for you."
Jas gave Elanor this rude greeting as politely as he could and confused the woman in front of him.
"You say you have information for , sir, but I have never seen you before, why should I believe you?" Elanor retorted, not knowing what was going on any more than Jas did.
"I beg you, my lady, if you don't like the information I bring you can kill with your bare hands, I only need five minutes of your ti."
Jas' words and the look of bitterness on his face must have pricked Elanor's conscience as the two managed to retreat to one side of the hall.
"Well? So tell then," Elanor said with a smile.
Jas wasn't quite sure how to explain it. He never thought he would be able to convince Elanor so quickly, and when he realised that it would be best to tell her the truth, he uttered these words:
"You do not recognise now because I was sent here by you from the future, my lady."
Elanor giggled a little when she heard these words and then tried to leave by saying "Haha...I didn't know my father had invited a codian, thank you." but Jas managed to stop her at the last mont.
When Jas took out the blood-covered necklace from his inventory and showed it to Elanor, her eyes widened and she stared at Jas.
"This necklace belonged to my grandmother, she always said she hoped it would protect from all evil, but I'm wearing it now, how is that even possible?"
Elanor uttered these words in astonishnt, upsetting Jas one more notch. Unfortunately, the necklace did not protect Elanor.
"My lady, I wasn't lying when I said I ca from the future. This necklace is yours, you gave it to , to save you and your loved ones. We must leave, the shapeshifters...they are already here."
As Jas spoke these words, Elanor paused for a few seconds and said with a smile, "They were all destroyed by the god Erebus, did they escape and co here?"
These words made Jas think. He had no idea that the Shapeshifters were being destroyed by Erebus himself.
"Now that you understand the situation, please allow to protect you, we must leave imdiately," Jas suddenly said, and Elanor, hearing these words, turned around and said, "Then I must inform my family, we all must leave together."
At that very mont, Jas gently grabbed Elanor by the arm and shook his head left and right after getting her attention.
This was the frightening sight Jas had seen when his family mbers first arrived in the parlour.
All family mbers except Elanor had been transford into shapeshifters.
When Jas looked at them, he saw twisted faces, bodies with missing parts, long tentacles, dozens of eyes, and as many other disgusting things as possible. It seed to tell him that he had to save Elanor as fast as he could.
Elanor understood what Jas ant and sohow managed to keep a smile on her face. She could feel her heart-shattering.
Her little brother Rigby, her mum Amber and her dad Dick were no longer with her, it was a miracle she could even handle it and not have a breakdown.
"Let's go," Elanor said suddenly, as if ready. With that, the two slowly made their way to the door of the mansion. The parlour was in the sa place as the door to the mansion, it may have been an odd piece of architecture, but in this case, it would have been more massive than they had thought.
The duo sohow managed to get out of the mansion door, but what they saw outside did not bode well.
The human bodies around were sothing that even Jas had not expected. So black-robed people seed to be busy drawing runes, Jas could not understand what was going on, and Elanor was like him.
The two of them passed through the black-robed figures as if nothing was happening and they seed to attract no attention whatsoever.
Even Elanor could tell that they were necromancers, one of the few powers that were not recognised even inside the tower. It wasn't because they were evil or anything, but because in the eyes of the gods, necromancy depended on gaining power the easy way.
"What's going on?" Elanor asked in a low voice, but unfortunately, Jas had no answer, he really couldn't understand what was going on. After a while, they ca to a place where there were no more people and not even a sound.
It all happened so fast, a window suddenly appeared in front of Jas and he saw Elanor freeze.
"Are you kidding ? All of that sadness I have lived was for this? I am so gonna lose my fricking mind!" Jas muttered, unable to understand what was written on the window in front of him:
[8th Floor Cleaned.
Elanor Rosewell successfully cleared the mansion and the dangers outside the mansion.
15,000 gold won]
"My lady, what's going on?" Jas asked suddenly, he needed answers, he had no idea what was going on.
The possibility that the tower had pulled a trick had occurred to him but he restrained himself, he knew he wasn't going to get any answers from anyone but soone like Nyx right now.
It would be cheating a little, but he wasn't going to take a step forward or return to the 5th floor without knowing what was going on, he had a right to know what was going on.
