The other Head Council members were also confused.
"How could she have come here an hour ago? She had been with us since then," Yann scoffed.
"Did you all see her enter?" Rem asked the other guards, just to be sure.
"We all saw her enter. Lady Eliana came here and told us that Lord Rem and others would also be coming here and that she would be waiting inside for others."
"She walked right inside, and we didn't see her come out... That's why we were surprised to see her again."
One after another, all the guards said the same thing. One of them could be drunk and talking nonsense, but all of them? It seemed very unlikely.
Eliana's face turned pale as she realized just what might have happened here! Someone used her face to enter! The guards also allowed that person to walk right inside, allowing her access to their most important items!
"You idiots! It must be an illusion! You let a stranger walk right inside!"
Eliana rushed inside. The others also realized what had happened as they all rushed inside as well. If the intruder entered but didn't come out, that meant he was still inside! They could still catch him!
Elora also followed all the teachers. In a situation like this, she didn't want to take the lead. She was a guest here, and it wasn't her place. She also didn't want to look like she was involved in this since it happened around the same time as she arrived. She was the last person to enter.

The Specter passed through the glass door and entered Gabriel's room. The flames of the Infernal King couldn't even touch him. It was the same for his physical attacks. Since the specter was in its spiritual form, the Infernal King couldn't even touch him.
It was a futile effort.
The Specter kept his eyes on the Infernal King as a voice echoed in the room. "Killing me won't bring them back."
It was as if the specter was speaking, but the voice wasn't coming from him. It was as if it was coming from all directions, falling in the Infernal King's ears.
"I will destroy you with this world!" The Infernal King roared, but once again, before he could do anything, the terrifying headache returned as Gabriel's command was still under effect.
"You will do nothing." The Specter commented, watching the Infernal King fall to his knees. Gabriel's commands acted like shackles around the Infernal King, restricting what he could actually do here.
"All for your greed!" The Infernal King glared at the Spectre with bloodlust.
The Spectre didn't react. Even if he did, it was impossible to see since he was like the physical embodiment of darkness and death.
"You are in the world of the living. You aren't supposed to exist here... But I will allow it... Since it's him..."
"Who do you think you are to allow me?! I will kill you!" The Infernal King roared, but the Spectre didn't care.

"You are inconsequential..." The Spectre answered. His words sounded like he was mocking the Infernal King, but his time was very serious as if he was just alerting the Infernal King. "Don't waste the opportunity... Finally, there can be a return... Forget the past..."
The Spectre turned around and left, disappearing into the darkness, leaving the Infernal King behind, who was still raging. Fortunately, the noise didn't get out of the room

Gabriel had kept all the items in the museum. He had completely emptied the treasures. There was only one thing which he hadn't taken yet. It was the cursed letter that appeared to be addressed to Karyk.
He walked to the letter. Just for the sake of it, he decided to take the letter as well, mentally preparing himself not to read what was in it.
He broke the glass shell around the letter and picked it up without reading a single word. However, as soon as he took the letter, he heard some sounds coming from the stairs. It was as if someone was rushing to the room.
"These guys!"
He didn't know that these were the Teachers, only believing them to be guards for now. Teachers couldn't come this fast out of nowhere, after all. However, he still decided to be careful and leave. If he was already done here, there was no benefit in staying behind for longer.
"Undead Swap!" He used the spell again, returning back to his room. The Infernal King appeared in his place inside the museum, confused.
The Infernal King watched his surroundings change abruptly. He was out of the room. He had seen Gabriel use the undead swap before, which made it a bit less surprising. After a few moments, he realized what might have happened.
He saw an empty hall. There were no treasures here, which meant that Gabriel had succeeded. Finally, he could return... Finally he could go back home.
"There he is! The intruder!" A shout came from behind.
Yann was so hasty to stop the intruder that, without waiting for anyone, he attacked first. He didn't deal a deadly blow either since he wanted to question the intruder later on. He simply targeted the legs of the Infernal King. From the back, he couldn't see the face of the Infernal Sorcerer.
A ball of fire shot toward the legs of the Infernal King, hitting right in the back of his knees.
Even though Yann didn't place all his strength behind the attack, it should've been able to turn the man's legs into cinders, but there was not even a mark left behind.
The Infernal King tilted his head to the left, wondering if that was actually fire. It was so weak that he found it insulting.
He was still angry because of what happened with the Spectre. And since he wasn't in the room, there was no restriction. The Infernal King smirked.
Gabriel had appeared back in his room, and he was just about to cancel the Summoning spell when he heard a loud explosion noise. He rushed to the glass door and looked outside, noticing a cloud of blue flames. It seemed to be coming from where the museum was!
The entire museum blew up, burning in terrifying flames as the Infernal King finally let loose.
