Jack first divided them into four teams. Duke Alfredo summoned his Asura and became the first team. Jonathan and Lindsey were on the second team. Yrin and Howard formed the third. Tenka and Amy were the fourth.
The four teams then sneaked out and took positions at different sides of the manor. In the meantime, Jack summoned Pandora and told her of his plan. She was very complying since it was for the sake of rescuing her sister. After making sure Pandora understood, Jack sneaked down to near the main street heading to the manor's entrance.
Jack hid behind a large boulder and waited. Not long after, Pandora ran through the front of the manor. Her blazing trail was hard to miss. But just to make sure that the demons saw her, she stopped and stood there gazing at the manor's entrance.
The demons who guarded the entrance were immediately riled up. They made lots of sounds. As they did, more demons came out of the mansion.
They then started running toward Pandora. Some of them carried some kind of nets that seemed to be made of fire. Peniel said that those fire nets were tools to capture fire-based creatures. It was sturdy and won't get burned by a nightmare's flame. Hraghshu had managed to capture Luna most likely due to these fire nets.
The demons started swinging their nets around like they were lassos. Pandora let them come close enough that they threw the nets at her, which caused Jack to worry. But before the fire nets arrived, she was gone already.
'Damn it, ma'am. Do you have to cut it so close?' Jack cursed within.
Pandora ran away from the manor, but not at her fastest speed. The demons chased after her. More demons came out of the manor and joined the pursuing party.
Jack sent a mental message to his royal agents then, who commenced with their tasks.
All four teams attacked the demons who guarded the slave workers. None of the demon guards were rare elite. There were also not too many of them, so it was not a problem for Alfredo and the rest. In a short time, they took care of the demon guards and started destroying the shackles that held the slave workers.
They instructed the workers they had freed to run away while they continued dispatching the demon guards and saving more workers.
As more and more workers fled, the demons inside the mansion finally noticed. An alarm was sounded. More demons came out and rushed in every direction to capture the fleeing workers. The four teams hid again as these demons came out.
After the pursuing demons passed them by, they came out and ambushed the demons from the rear. The demons at the back turned back and fought the ambushers while the ones in front ignored the ambush. They continued pursuing the fleeing workers.
Jack had reminded Tenka and Yrin to continue staying hidden during this phase. If they wanted to join the fight, they had to ensure they killed the demons who saw them. Jack hoped the two listened to his instructions.
Once no more demons came out from the mansion, Jack ran to the entrance. He figured the mansion should be mostly empty by now, allowing him more ease in searching for the teleportation chamber.
As he neared the main door, he saw several red dots coming from inside the mansion. One of them was even slightly larger and darker than the other red dots.
Jack hurriedly looked around and located a part of the wall that had recesses. He hurriedly hid inside one of those recesses. Luckily, this place was mostly dark due to the dark sky. The shadow meld ability of his Cloak of Shadow soon turned him invisible just as the door opened.

From inside, a few demons walked out. Including a tall demon in light armor. He had two large and sleek bat wings on his back. His skin was dark green instead of the usual red. Jack used his Inspect and found that this winged demon was classified as a high demon. This high demon was one of Hraghshu's mythical-grade bodyguards. He was level 67 and went by the name of Xelvorath.
The first thing Xelvorath did after walking out of the door was look in Jack's direction.
Luckily, Jack knew about the mythical grade's sensitivity to mana. He had applied mana concealment once he hid inside the recess, erasing his presence.
Xelvorath did sense something when coming out of the door, but that sensation was gone now.
"Sir, what should we do? Should we chase after this other nightmare or should we chase after the slaves?" A demon asked Xelvorath.
Xelvorath stopped gazing in Jack's direction and replied, "You all go chase the slaves. I will deal with the nightmare."
After saying his piece, his large bat wings flapped. The air around him exploded as he shot into the sky. The demons around him were blasted by that air explosion and fell.
None of them showed any discontent. They rose and then went in different directions to pursue the slaves.
'That mythical demon is very fast. Will Pandora be okay?' Jack asked Peniel who hid inside her hidden dimension.
'Don't worry. She is a smart nightmare, she should know when to retreat,' Peniel replied.
When Jack was explaining the plan, Jack told Pandora to just unsummon herself if she was in a pinch. This was one of the perks of having an owner. Unless the enemies used a tool or a spell that stopped her from unsummoning herself, she should be okay. Jack just hoped that she didn't let the mythical grade get too close. That demon surely had a restraining skill that might prevent Pandora from unsummoning herself.
Jack didn't have the time to worry about others, he had his own task to take care of. After checking his radar and making sure no one was near the mansion's entrance, he came out of hiding and entered through the door. That door was not locked with so many demons coming and going frequently.
He came into a luxurious foyer. He had no time to admire the interior, so he just headed to the first forbidden area mentioned by Wotai. The forbidden area on this ground floor was at the opposite end of the entrance.
He studied his radar. Some red dots were still inside this mansion, but he couldn't tell if they were on the ground floor or the upper floors. He chose the path that was more vacant and ran toward the opposite end.
