Chapter 968: Pure Panic
In the underground cellar, Carl was making a few last touch-ups to his preparations. Charlotte was still tied up to a chair with the magic circle beneath her, and then there were the two other so-called volunteers that were placed in their own magic circles as well.
He carried several large glass jars and placed them just behind where Charlotte was sitting.
"This bit will hurt slightly," Carl said with a smile as a needle was placed into the top of Charlotte's hand and then some sticky substance on top of it. Oddly, the flow of blood didn't come down the tube that was currently inserted into Charlotte and into the containers.
The same was then done with her other hand. Not too far off to the side, Charlotte had also noticed other containers with strong glowing magical energy.
'These aren't regular containers, have they been enchanted with a spell, or some type of magic to keep the energy in, and that energy doesn't feel normal either; it's the same stuff they used in the small vials, but it looks like several litres of the stuff are inside.'
Looking around, Charlotte couldn't find what she was looking for. Judging by what Carl had said earlier, she gathered that the energy had to be transported elsewhere but how. Was it through another magic circle, a portal elsewhere, or were they to be physically transported? 'I don't know why I'm trying to figure out what's going on here, when I have a bigger problem. How am I going to get out of this situation myself!' Charlotte thought.
Carl, after setting all the preparations, then stood there for a few moments; he looked at Charlotte and was tapping his foot.
"What is taking them so long?" Carl said out loud. "All they need is two more people. Is it such a hard thing to do? If they are slacking, then I will just use one of them myself."
It was quite clear judging by the dynamic she had heard them speak of since her captivity, Carl was somewhat of a higher-ranking member.
Charlotte then witnessed Carl walking off, and heading into the darkness and eventually the sound of him ascending the staircase.
Moving to the next person, he had done the same.
Charlotte started to panic seeing this; her heart was beating at an incredibly fast speed. She wondered if the dagger was going to be used to slit her throat next.
Instead though, she saw that Carl had headed straight for the jar of energy. He lifted it up and turned around.
"I said stop!" Liam shouted as he threw his sword.
The others following him had entered right after seeing Liam's sword in the air.
The sword continued forward until it had pierced the jar. The substance inside spilled all over Carl, while part of the sword also went into Carl's body. The substance fell all over, and then dropped to the ground.
"Wait, we were meant to keep him alive," Simyon said. "What are you doing?"
"Don't worry, I made sure not to pierce him that deep and missed his vitals. These guys are a piece of cake to deal with."
However, a strange sound and energy was being felt from everyone, and Safa could see it- the energy was spreading through the room from the jar.
The strange substance then leaked into the magical formation on the ground, started to light up, and it continued until it had completely surrounded where Charlotte was.
When she looked up, Charlotte's eyes had met with Anna's, someone she knew, but the fact that the formation was lit up, there was pure panic running through her instead.
