CH 436

The world in Snow’s head was a blurred world.

Her world was once the same as everyone else’s, colorful and vibrant, but since the light was stolen from her, her world turned blurry.

Hearing and touch were some of the limited ways she could sense the world. Thankfully she obtained a new power and could use her webs to replace her fingers to sense her surroundings.

But now all her webs were part of the cocoon, so now she could only rely on her hearing to speculate this blurry world.

She heard White night casting his black magic within the darkness, and also that cat screaming along with Bob’s startled cry.

Was it reinforcements? Or a new enemy? Snow didn’t know, but from the sounds, she was sure they were rushing towards Bob.

The fatal black magic never came and Snow quietly unraveled a bit of her cocoon and stuck her ear out to listen, but the magic sounds didn’t stop.

“Did it change direction?”

She was right. When Bob heard the sudden sound, he immediately turned and cast his magic.

“But, it seems like it didn’t hit…”

Since his black magic didn’t explode, this meant that his attack failed.

“He’s going to go higher and avoid their attacks, right?”

Just as Snow anticipated, Bob indeed wanted to use the black mist to quickly escape into the sky, but he didn’t even realize what kind of monster he was up against!

“Who are you? What do you… puh!”

Everything happened too fast, too suddenly. Before Bob could finish asking, his voice was suddenly cut off and there was a whooshing sound along with the sound of him spitting blood out.

“Was he hit?”

Snow couldn’t see, but she could guess that Bob was hit by something, otherwise, she would definitely feel satisfied after seeing this scene.

Bob was like an annoying fly that was suddenly smacked by a huge gray cat’s paw, this smack dispersed the black mist that supported him and he was sent flying down like a cannonball.

Boom!

Snow could tell from the sound that if he wasn’t dead, he would be crippled.

Now that Bob was put to rest, it was her turn next, right?

“W-who are you? What do you want?”

Snow didn’t know if it was an enemy or an ally, so she continued to hide inside the cocoon and asked.

But there was no response.

There was another boom, like a large object landing on the ground. The ground trembled along with the cries of the living dead coming from their surroundings.

Another palpitating cat scream! It was some sort of sound from compressed energy, like boiling water.

Boiling water? No, that wasn’t the sound of boiling water, Snow knew that was something all high-level demons knew, demonic roar!

High-level demons can compress their inherent bloodline power in their mouths and release it as a shock wave!

Snow thought it was targeted at her, so she continue struggling while strengthening her cocoon, but the attack never arrived. And in the next instant, the entire world became quiet. Other than her own heartbeat, Snow couldn’t hear anything.

“Master… master?”

Snow could hear some dreamlike calls, but she couldn’t trust them and continued hiding.

“Master, come out! It’s fine, I’m Elona, I already finished off the enemies!”

That voice got closer and more clear, she shouted while wanting to peel open the cocoon.

“Elona, is that you?”

Snow couldn’t believe her own ears and was worried she was just hearing things.

“It’s me, master, hurry up and come out! This cocoon is hard and ugly, it doesn’t suit you.”

“It’s really you? Elona!?”

After confirming multiple times, Snow suppressed her ecstasy and opened the cocoon, the dark purple cocoon gradually formed into a single strange of spider silk and became a pale light band that squirmed back into Snow’s sleeves. At the same time, the eerie markings on half of her face also slowly faded and would soon completely vanish.

“Elona?”

“Mhm, it’s me, master!”

“Elona? Elona?”

“That’s right it’s me, I’m here!”

“Elona! Elona! Elona! ~~”

“Uh… master, have you gone dumb?”

Snow repeated her name over and over like she was bewitched. Elona was confused and thought she was injured and quickly squatted in front of Snow and picked her up by her waist, then hugged her and checked for injuries.

“Hm, no external injuries, just some impact… master, you’re fine!”

Elona happily hugged Snow like she was her little sister.

“Wuu … Elona, it’s really you? … Why are you here? Wuu… no! W-what took you so long to get here?”

Snow stuck out her hands and felt around on Elona’s face and finally confirmed it was her and then she couldn’t help but cry!

“Stupid cat! Bad cat! Dumb cat! Where did you run off too? Why didn’t you come earlier? Did you know that I almost died! Wahhh…”

Unable to suppress her emotions anymore, Snow curled up into Elona and rubbed her face against her soft body, and began wailing.

Elona was already used to Snow being temperamental and unpredictable, even the strange markings on her face didn’t bother her. She patted Snow’s small head to calm her.

“Master! Did you know? It turns out that Bob is a really bad guy!” Elona suddenly gestured with her fists and warned Snow.

“Sigh, Elona, thankfully you were here, otherwise that crafty White night really would have killed me!”

“White night? Who’s that?”

“Hm? It’s Bob, he’s actually a spy from the enlightenment society… didn’t you know?”

“No.” Elona shook her head.

“Hah? You didn’t know? Then why did you say Bob was a bad guy? And how did you know I was in danger?”

Snow was confused. If Elona didn’t know Bob’s real identity, how did she realize she was tricked and come to rescue her?

“Someone told me.”

“Who’s ‘someone’?”

“I don’t know either… it’s a girl!”

“A girl?”

“She didn’t tell me her name and she wore a veil. She also told me that Bob was a bad guy and that you were in danger so I had to come to rescue you. She even gave me the directions and I ended up finding you!”

“Master, she saved me and you, she’s a good person! You should thank her!”

“… But I don’t know who she is, how do I thank her?”

“Eh? Master, you don’t know her? I thought you sent her to me!”

“Of course not! Idiot, can’t you think for a bit? You went just because Bob told you to and you came just because some strange woman told you to, believing everyone’s words… do you not have a brain!?”

“Wuuu …master, I was wrong.”

“Sigh, forget it, you saved me, I shouldn’t blame you.”

Snow helplessly sighed and stuck her face onto Elona’s chest and began silently thinking.

It was clear that the strange woman was an ally, she knew that Bob was a spy and of his plans, so she could save Snow and tell Elona to come to help her…

But how did she know that much?

Who was she?

“Did that person have any special characteristics?”

“No… I just saw that she had black hair and black eyes, her voice was a bit hoarse and she had some freckles. Even though she was wearing a veil, she looked cute and seemed like a good person!”

“Hah? Seems like a good person? You dumb cat, can you tell whether someone is good or bad from appearances alone?”

This dumb cat…

But the main question was, who was this black-haired girl?
