Chapter 234 – Dead?

Fifteen minutes ago.

A cute loli was sitting on top of a huge black monster cat that was running wildly through the forests.

They finally approached the center of the island and was getting closer and closer to the remains. Snow knew that Lin Xiao and them were surely in the remains and probably already met Anderson and the monsters and started fighting.

With Lin Xiao’s strength, those monsters should be small fry, but for some reason, Snow couldn’t calm down.

“Elona, hurry up!”

“Meow~!”

The huge black cat howled and sped up, they were within sight of the remains, but Elona suddenly slowed down.

There was a thud next to her claws and then there was a miserable shriek.

“Ahhhhhh!!!”

“Wait… isn’t that Anderson’s voice? Elona, stop!”

Snow had a keen sense of hearing and ordered Elona to stop.

“Meow?”

Elona obediently stopped and tilted her furry head while searching around with her bright red eyes. Soon, she found a fatty passed out against a tree diagonally in front of them.

“Wu… it really is Archbishop Anderson!” Although her voice changed slightly in cat form, but you could still hear her milky sweet tone that she usually spoke in.

Because Elona only focused on running, she didn’t notice Anderson running over until it was too late. So her huge paws sent him flying and he ended up hitting a tree and passed out, frothing at the mouth.

“Uh… this damn fatty.”

Snow pursed her lips and didn’t know how to feel.

She originally wanted to find this damn fatty to get back at him, but he passed out so easily with one kick from Elona. Now she didn’t know whether to praise Elona for catching him, or scold her for being careless.

“But why was he escaping so frantically?” Snow fell into thought while playing with her hair.

Based on Elona’s description, it seems like Anderson was being chased by something and was only focused on running so he couldn’t avoid her in time.

It seems like Anderson was escaping because Lin Xiao already won, so Snow didn’t need to worry.

But her uneasy feelings intensified.

Snow’s instincts told her that her brother might be in danger!

“Elona, they should be right in front, let’s hurry over!” Snow urged her.

“But master… Anderson is right here, should we not take care of him?”

“Who cares about him? It’s not like he can run, we’ll take care of him later! Let’s go, your aunt might be in danger too!”

“Really? T-then sit tight, we’re going!” When Elona heard that Elena might be in danger, she said no more and quickly ran towards the remains.

Actually, she said those words with selfish intent. She didn’t care at all about Elena, the only one she was concerned about was her brother… it didn’t matter if Elena was in danger as long as her brother was okay!

Their surroundings was a ruined remains, with stone pillars covered in green moss that silently spoke of its history, and what Elona found strange was that there were numerous craters containing burning ashes, like remnants left behind from powerful explosion magic.

As they came out of the forest and approached the remains, Elona changed back to human form and walked while holding Snow’s hand and describing their surroundings.

Other than the traces of the explosion magic, there were also the bodies of numerous large monsters lying around. Their figures were slightly smaller than Elona’s cat form, but the limbs were sturdy and they looked hideous and frightening.

Who knows whose work it was but all those monsters were dead, they were either burned to charcoal, crushed into a pile of flesh or blown to pieces, and it was extremely nauseating.

Based on Elona’s descriptions, Snow more or less figured it out.

These monsters were probably the so called Lesser Devils, and based on the scene, Anderson probably directed these monsters to fight with someone and lost miserably so he tucked tail and ran.

So in that case, the person who scared Anderson away should be…

“Elona, is there anyone alive?” Snow asked.

If it was Lin Xiao who did it, he shouldn’t have gone too far.

“Wu, it doesn’t seem… eh? There, there’s people over there!” Elona looked left and right and noticed two strange people laying in the grass in the distance.

Was that her aunt?

Out of concern for Elena, Elona started running an ended up leaving Snow behind.

“Hey! Come back and take me as well!”

“Wu… sorry master.”

She came back aware that she neglected her duty, completely forgetting the fact that collar was gone, she took Snow’s hand and ran over to check the situation.

“Master… that’s my aunt! … And your brother, it’s them!”

“Oh?”

Snow raised her eyebrows.

Those two were together by themselves, strange.

“Elona, I cant see, so tell me what is your aunt currently doing?”

“Yes master, my aunt is currently… confessing to your brother.”

The scene returned to the beginning, with two girls, a master and servant, silently standing in front of Elena, their beautiful and holy figures in stark contrast to Elena’s miserable and wretched state.

“E… lo… na… it’s you…”

Elena should’ve been happy seeing her niece, but she merely looked up and slightly moved her lips in surprise and continued lying on top of Lin Xiao motionlessly like she was dead.

“Elona, you said confessing? What kind of confession?”

“Un… well, she’s crying about how she feels about your brother.”

Elona’s response made Snow feel uncomfortable and she started mocking her.

“What’s with your aunt? Isn’t she the high and might Demon King, why is she confessing to my brother? Eh! … Perhaps she’s in heat, and she needs some loving?”

Just by hearing Elona’s initial description, Snow didn’t know the sorry state they were in and thought they were doing something shameless.

“Wu… master, p-please don’t talk about my aunt like that.”

“Hehe, am I wrong?” Snow gripped Elona’s hands and then seriously asked, “Elona, tell me what’s going on, give me a detailed description.”

“Yes, master… my aunt is lying on top of your brother and is weeping with a pale complexion, and your brother… your brother… he, it seems like he’s already dead.”

“What… did you just say?”
