Chapter 198:

Door?

It looked exactly like the large door that the butterflies had shown Juliet sometime before.

Sigh.

I pondered for a long time on how to kill you,

The snake sang it out.

I thought it would be nice to tear you apart right in front of him, but that seemed a bit bland?

Crack.

!

Juliet was shocked.

As the snake snapped its fingers, the scenery around them changed instantaneously.

The dark and cold stone chamber underground was gone, and now they were standing in a dense forest surrounding them.

Even their costumes had changed. Juliet found herself dressed in a black formal dress.

What did you

The frightened human woman seemed to have an intuition about what was going to happen next.

Ive always wondered, humans endure physical pain quite well, but how far can they withstand psychologically?

Juliet thought it was absurd.

She was on a rainy forest path.

It couldnt be real.

But despite the obvious illusion, the cold raindrops hitting her skin felt as real as reality.

Rumble, bang.

-Juliet! Baby!

-What are you doing, Lillian! Run away quickly!

Broken carriage, sound of clashing swords.

Mothers scream and fathers cry.

Final screams.

With a feeling of helplessness, Juliet was choked up.

This was a memory from the day her parents passed away.

With a tone as if enjoying it immensely, the snake whispered in her ear:

Dont worry, this is just the beginning.

* * *

Stop it!

Not long after, Juliet Monad buried her face in her hands and began to sob in pain.

Oh dear. Your butterflies were going to show you the past, dismissing their sincerity is a waste.

The snake tenderly whispered as it touched Juliets shoulder. It said:

Look closely. Its your past, isnt it?

Until a moment ago, the snake was furious from head to tail.

It was angry that the worthless humans kept interfering with its plans, and didnt move as it wanted.

But now, it was thoroughly enjoying himself.

Why are you doing this What have I done wrong?

The human woman started sobbing bitterly.

Tears fall with just a little stimulation, its boring how weak youve become.

However, contrary to his words, the snake joyfully observed the girl in agony.

In her previous life, she experienced many horrible events.

Her parents were murdered, she was abandoned by her lover, and lost an unborn child.

Eventually, at the moment she decided to leave her lover, what returned to her was a cup filled with poison.

There was no need to meticulously craft false nightmares to torture Juliet Monad. Merely skimming through her past memories was enough to torment her.

Juliets slender shoulders trembled as she sobbed.

Please I didnt want to see this

Shall I show you something else?

Only now did the snake feel uneasy, looking around.

This place was essentially a forced memory of Juliet Monad, a field of her creation.

Oops.

Ive come too deep.

It needed to get out of this space quickly.

Only then did the snake realize that it had delved too deep into Juliet Monads painful past memories while being engrossed in it.

However, the snake still didnt think that Juliet Monad could harm it in any way.

A weakened human, with no Lennox Carlyle to protect the relic, she was its prey.

But the relaxed attitude of Juliet Monad was definitely eerie.

In haste, the snake desperately clutched at the butterflies.

However, unlike a while ago, the feeble butterflies fluttered powerlessly and disintegrated like ashes in its grasp.

Poof.

Then, from somewhere, a vibrant swarm of butterflies appeared, covering its vision.

What is this?

You said it yourself.

What?

How my foolish butterflies fell for the scheme and what happened to them.

For a moment, the snake blinked stupidly.

The snake could see the vibrant blue butterflies fluttering around her.

Long ago, those foolish butterflies were deceived by a human named Quirier Monad, and they had trapped themselves inside the gates

Juliet smiled wryly.

Yes. If I can release the demon, I can trap it again.

!

Why did you only realize it now?

And the next moment, the snake realized that Juliet Monad was outside the gate.

Yes, before noticing, a massive gate, whose existence wasnt known, appeared between them.

Screech.

The snake was inside the gate, and she and the butterflies were outside.

Click. As Juliet shook the shining key, a cheerful sound resonated.

You, this! Open this!

Thud.

The enraged snakes voice completely disappeared beyond the harshly closed gate.

* * *

Thud.

Once the gate closed, the surrounding turned back into a dark and empty underground chamber.

The butterflies too, seemingly exhausted, vanished before her eyes, and Juliet completely exhausted, collapsed onto the stone floor.

Its over.

Just like the black panther said, Juliet had neither the ability to kill the demon nor send it back to its original dimension.

But she could trap it.

Just like Quirier Monad had trapped the butterflies hundreds of years ago.

Now, unless someone frees it, the snake will never be able to escape.

Ugh

Her broken ribs ached again.

Without even thinking of lying down, Juliet groaned, curling up.

The forgotten fatigue and pain due to extreme tension came rushing back. Cold sweat poured down like rain.

Can I survive?

Juliet suddenly found the situation ironic.

She had successfully trapped the snake forever, but she was trapped as well.

I probably cant get out.

Juliet laughed in resignation.
