At this moment, Galahad and the sentinels were speechless when they saw who it was that helped them. The butler's ability was indeed beyond their expectation. They were marveling at this when they heard the man speak again.

"Let's move to the main hall then, I could sense Duke Ginehart and the others in there." He ushered them and went with them to make sure that evil spirits would not be able to hurt them.

They reached the hall and saw that Galahad and the other sentinels were busy fending off against the exploding spirit. Mr. C then activated his nanites again and went to help and so did Duke Blackwell. They were able to get rid of all of them but in return they were already exhausted.

pαndα---noνɐ1,сoМ "What's the status?" Galahad asked one of the sentinels who could sense spirits. They had been relying on him to navigate the place.

"I can't sense anything inside the manor, your excellency, however there is a lot of it outside." The sentinel answered as he pointed outside.

They all looked through the window and saw that there were blue lights outside. Ulysses looked behind him at the employees who were trembling in fear and at the spirits outside. Whoever was controlling those spirits were making sure that they wouldn't be able to come out.

Even if they managed to survive and destroy all the spirits inside, they won't be able to get out because the enemy made sure to lay a trap for them. Ulysses and Galahad looked at each other before Duke Blackwell closed his eyes tightly. There's one way they could leave the manor without getting detected but if the spy was within their midst and can communicate with the people who were behind the attack, then it would be useless to use that passage.

They need to know who the traitor was before they could move. He was also worried that the spirits outside might move anytime right now and barge inside. Galahad was still thinking of the best way to go about their situation when a commotion happened within the group of employees behind them.

Galahad walked towards them to see what's going on, "What's happening?" he had a frown on his face because he had no time to deal with them or to deal with their complaints.

"We are going to die! I should have not worked in this place from the very beginning!" One of the employees suddenly stood up and shouted. He had been skittish ever since the beginning and had annoyed some of the other employees.

"He's been like that ever since the evil spirits appeared. I never knew that he would be this coward since he appeared to be strong and courageous from the time that I have been working with him," one of them commented.

Galahad couldn't help but frown deeper because of what he heard. "None of you will die, we will make sure that all of us will survive tonight." He reassured them but that man didn't believe him.

"How can you even do that? You don't have magic and the archmage is not here right now! We will surely die! The duke can't save us! The duke can't save us!" He started to run around the hall while repeatedly shouting those words.

The duke looked at the butler and gave him a nod. The butler stood up together with two other male employees as they went to stop the running man. They pinned him down but he couldn't stop from wriggling and mumbling incoherent things.

"We are going to die, it's because of the duke. I should have not accepted their job, now the evil spirits are here, we are all going to die! To die! They are here to kill us! Kill us!" He mumbled which made the duke sighed.

Duke Ginehart came near them and heard the man's ramblings. "He must have been feeling guilty ever since he decided to work for the enemy. No wonder since his employer was willing to send those evil spirits here without even giving them the time to escape. This only means that he was abandoned."

His words were neither loud nor soft, it was enough for everyone in the hall to hear it. Ulysses shrugged his shoulders and looked at Galahad then he subtly swept his gaze among the crowd and saw that some of them were already sweating and showing signs of anxiousness. Dangerous situations would really bring out fear and the instinct to survive from everyone who were present.

"You are right about that. They wouldn't think of saving their men first because they knew too much. They'll eventually decide to kill them even if they survive now," Galahad added to what his friend said. It was a good bait to see who amongst them would finally reveal themselves.

The people inside the room were confused as to what the two dukes were talking about while some of them were not as innocent as the others. After they heard that conversation, they couldn't help but gulp in fear because of the situation. It was true that they were also taken by surprise by the appearance of the evil spirits. Their employer had not said anything about an attack and now they were trapped inside the manor.

"What should we do now?" Ulysses asked after a short period of silence. He looked around and felt guilty because of the genuine fear in their faces but they needed to continue with their act.

They had no time to one-by-one check out their backgrounds anymore. They were able to do that to some of the employees but they were not done yet so all they could do was resort to some crude means. Ulysses did not stop from his subtle observation to pin down those people who looked guilty.

"Fight to death. That's the only option we have right now." Galahad looked at his employees with a grim smile. "We will do our best to protect every one of you and get you all out of here, so we would appreciate it if all of you could listen to us and do what we say. It will be a difficult battle starting from now on."

On the other side of Blackwell, at the shrine where the guardian deity was residing a person appeared. She walked inside and looked around to have a glimpse of the infamous serpent that protects the territory. Her footsteps were quiet but the serpent could hear it all, even her breathing.

"What brought you here?" the guardian asked. His voice reverberated through the empty hall of the shrine.
