CH 349

The blinding light completely dispersed all of the darkness within the cave.

Even though Elena heard Lin Xiao’s warning, looked away, and closed her eyes ahead of time, the light was still too intense and she had to completely turn around and cover her eyes to not be blinded.

“Tsk… seventh-level barrier, Judgment Light?”

Judgment Light was much more powerful than the rockburst that Archer had cast, not only was it one level higher, barrier magic was already much stronger than regular magic. Elena estimated that it would be difficult even for her to escape in her human form.

Although it was strong, it wasn’t practical…

Magical barriers were complicated to prepare and cast, outside of a magic circle, you had to be in tune with the fluctuations of the formation, any deviance would waste all the prior efforts.

Because magic barriers were so cumbersome and limited, they would normally be used as a trap against enemies. The barrier would be drawn beforehand and wait for the enemies to fall into it. Like when Lin Xiao secretly set up a sealing barrier at home, and also when Snow caught Elona.

So… how did Lin Xiao instantly cast it? Elena never even saw him draw any formations.

Could it be that he already laid a trap down in this cave beforehand?

Impossible!

They just arrived here and entered the cave, where would he have the time to do that? Could it be he can clone himself and drew it while Adele was sleeping?

…

Elena had a stomach full of questions, she squinted her eyes open to adjust to the light and looked towards the center of the cave, finally seeing the barrier in its full glory!

With Adele as the center, there were thirteen shining balls of light floating in the surroundings forming a circle. Each ball shot a pillar of pure white light towards the center, it should have landed directly on Adele, but the rays suddenly change directions like they hit invisible mirrors, forming thirteen pillars of light completely dividing the space.

It was a genuine Judgment Light as expected, Adele had no time to avoid the intense light and was painfully writhing on the ground while screaming. Lin Xiao on the other hand had his eyes shut and relied on his mind and magic power to control the barrier.

“What’s going on…”

Elena couldn’t understand how he was happily chatting one second and then suddenly cast such a horrifying barrier?

Even if he learned deconstruction, there’s no way he can instantly cast barriers, it defies common sense!

“Wait… could it be those balls of light from earlier?”

Elena suddenly came to a realization when remembering Lin Xiao’s earlier actions.

When they first entered, Lin Xiao casually tossed some balls of light around them to light up the cave, at that time Elena thought nothing of it, but she realized that it was all part of his trap.

Lin Xiao cast thirteen balls of light earlier, exactly coinciding with the number required for Judgment Light! So at that time, he was already preparing!

He secretly used magic to guide the balls of light and drew the formation with Adele as the center when Elena was chatting with her. After Elena failed, he personally went and enraged her to get information and to buy some more time to successfully finish the formation.

This man is too terrifying… Elena never would have thought that while it looked like he was wasting time and chatting, he was plotting and devising a trap.

“Lin Xiao, you…”

Elena bit her lips with mixed feelings.

All this time she has always been rebuking Lin Xiao for not being hard-working enough, but every time they were in trouble, she still had to rely on his foresight and calmness… even if it ends well, she couldn’t accept how incompetent she is and always has to keep relying on Lin Xiao.

But… it’s fine this time, it’s not like it’s the first time.

“Aaaaahhhhhhhh!!!”

Adele’s screams reverberated in the cave, even if her sight hadn’t recovered yet, her instincts as a red-eyed black cat warned her of danger and she started struggling desperately.

She kneeled on the ground, opened her arms, and bared her teeth with a fierce expression. Suddenly, an intense power fluctuated from her body and black fur started growing on her pale skin, fangs sprouted from her mouth, and her nails became sharp like a wild cat, it was a precursor to her transformation.

“Hmph, if you want to transform, it’s too late!”

The blinding light filled the room once again and the entire formation was activated, a figure at each ball of light and they raised their arms pointing at Adele who was at the center, and cast their judgment!

“No… ahhhhh!!!”

If the previous cry was from an angry struggle, then now it was a heartrending wail.

Before Adele could transform, thousands of pillars of light nailed her to her spot and acted as chains locking her body down.

“Phew… is that enough?”

After all that, his eyes also adjusted a bit so he opened them slightly to observe the situation and was relieved when he saw Adele chained up.

Adele couldn’t even cry out now, let alone transform. Her body was chained up so tightly that she could barely breathe.

What was worth mentioning… who knows if Lin Xiao did it on purpose or not, but those chains wrapped her tightly from head to toe except for her chest. The chains locked down her neck and her stomach but left the middle open allowing her to twist around to great effect.

“Cough… I’m a gentleman, how can I take advantage to look at her chest?”

Although he temporarily had Adele under control, it wasn’t a long-term plan. In order to catch her, he still needed the help of one other person…

“Elena, come help me!”

“Eh?”

“What are you saying ‘eh’ for? Miss Demon King, use your aura to suppress her! My magic power is running out, a billion lives are being consumed every second, I can’t hold out much longer!”

“A billion lives? What?” Elena blinked and couldn’t understand what nonsense he was saying.

“Just hurry up!”

“O-oh…”

Elena weakly responded and almost forgot she was the real Demon King being ordered around by this lowly human. She obediently stepped forward and aimed at Adele and tried using her authority to make her submit.

Adele instantly tightened up as her pupils constricted like she saw a terrifying monster, her body swayed and she fell straight forwards and supported her body with her arms in a Orz position and didn’t resist.

“Woah, it’s big!”

Lin Xiao couldn’t hold back and exclaimed when he saw that.

They weren’t just strong, red-eyed black cats were like the perfect race.

Even if Adele’s body wasn’t as ridiculous as Elena’s, but it wasn’t the least bit bad.

“Hehe, how should I deal with her… first tie her up, then lock her in the basement and interrogate her for seven days and nights. Of course, I’ll interrogate her alone, even if she is Elena’s aunt, I want her to get a taste of what it feels like when you shout yourself hoarse but still no one will come to save you… hehe.”

Red-eyed black cats are amazing… if there’s a chance, he also wants to meet her other aunts, of course, it would be even better if she had sisters… deliver all of them to him, and obediently become his prisoners!

While he was thinking, Elena’s complexion suddenly changed.

“Damn… Lin Xiao, watch out!”
