Purple spider webs all over the floor, tens of "zongzi" foaming at the mouth. It was like a carnage scene from after a hunt, and the cause of this wasn"t a cruel spider queen, but an innocent and cute Saintess.After seeing that scene, Elona swallowed nervously and even forgot that the demon sealing boundary was unsealed and she was already free so she didn"t have to listen to Snow anymore.
“Phew… it"s been a while, it"s a bit tiring use.”
After doing that, she stuck her tongue out and pulled her arms back into her sleeves. In an instant, all the spider webs disappeared, and the only thing left were the stiffening corpses as the prison regained its silence.
“Elona, lead the way.”
Snow took a deep breath and raised her arm like usual.
Elona quickly understood and obediently lead the way for Snow.
After walking past those unmoving corpses, Elona was a bit confused.
Did they escape just like that? Wasn"t that too easy…
No wonder Snow was able to sleep so easily last night, she was purposely making them let their guards down for this moment!
It seems like Snow already guessed that Selina and Anderson were in cahoots but she didn"t have any proof, so she purposely fell into their trap to lure them out.
Now that they were able to successfully escape and now know about Anderson"s experimentation with Lesser Devils, Snow achieved her goal.
After that, she just needed to get in contact with her subordinates and arrest all the traitors and send them to the Holy City to be judged!
Everything was within her grasps.
They left the prison and followed the stairs out of the bas.e.m.e.nt and finally returned to the lakeside church.
Elona breathed a sigh of relief as she inhaled the fresh air.
That was that, and they could finally return to Winterless City.
“Eh? That"s…”
Just as Elona was preparing to leave with Snow, she suddenly saw a deathly pale woman by the front door.
“Saintess, how did you escape?”
She was also surprised after she saw Snow and Elona.
“Hehe, is that Sister Selina? I was looking for you.” Snow was able to identify her with her voice, then she chuckled and cruelly said, “Since you"re going to die soon, can you tell me where Anderson went before that?”
“Die?”
Selina noticed that her cuffs were gone and the person responsible for guarding her wasn"t there either and understood her situation. She continued to maintain her poker face, her pale complexion was already of someone who was about to die.
“You were the one who caused the commotion earlier right… what happened to them?”
“Them? Oh, those idiots… what do you think?”
As she spoke she stuck out her right hand from her sleeve and countless dark purple spider webs surged out and surrounded Selina.
The strands of magic threads entwined with one another, melding into think lifelike tentacles that wrapped around her arms and legs suspending her in midair.
Perhaps out of bad taste, but she wasn"t rushed to strangle her, but precisely controlled those "tentacles" to go up along Selina"s legs and use the most wicked way to tease her.
“Mm… ahh…”
She let out some faint groans.
Although that disgusting sensation made her feel extremely uncomfortable, she tried her best to not make a sound and maintained her expression no matter how Snow tried to tease her.
“As expected of the Snow Witch, you"re only eleven right? And you can already use Dark Spider Webs… we underestimated you.”
Selina frowned, even if Snow didn"t answer her, she already knew the answer.
Even she couldn"t resist the webs, so there"s no way those idiots could have, so they must have already been finished off. But what Selina was curious about was how did she break free of the magic restraint cuffs?
“Wait! Your maid… her ears?”
Selina who was suspended raised her head and glanced at Elona and realized it!
When Snow was taking off her neckband, she accidentally tilted her hat, and due to the shock from seeing Snow"s black magic, Elona forgot to correct it and let Selina see it.
There were two triangular ears among her short hair, furry and cute, but not ears belonging to humans.
“So you were also a red-eyed black cat…”
Unlike Elena"s silver hair and red eyes, this maid"s hair looked closer to dark gray, and her red eyes contained an orange yellow hue, probably because her blood wasn"t pure. If you weren"t taking a close look, you would have no idea of knowing she was a high level demon!
But the question was… why was Snow bringing a high level demon as a maid along with her?
“Saintess, who in the world are you?”
“Hah? What does that have to do with you? I"m the one who caught you, so don"t try to interrogate me!” She pouted with dissatisfaction and moved her fingers slightly. The purple threads got even tighter and that strange pain made Selina knit her brows.
“I-I can"t believe that you were hiding this trump card… but it"s already too late, you cant stop our plan even if you kill me.”
“That Anderson went to do something bad, right… tell me! Where did that d.a.m.n fatty go?”
Snow increased the tightness, and the slender and sharp threads tore through Selina"s robes, revealing her undergarments. She looked like a doll being played around with in midair.
“It"s no use, Saintess… if you didn"t come, I was the one who was going to be the scapegoat, so I"m already prepared to sacrifice myself.”
“Sacrifice? Haaa, why are you all so strange? What"s going on?” Snow just wanted scare her, but she never thought she would be so tight lipped.
Snow"s mission was to find the person behind the human experimentation, but now she realized that it wasn"t as simple as it seemed.
Not just the human experimentation and the Lesser Devils… but more importantly, it was their att.i.tudes!
Selina and the tens of believers she killed never stepped back, even if they knew they were going to die, they were still adamant in carrying out their operation.
If it was just secretly conducting human experimentation and they were just a bunch of malicious believers why were they so devoted?
Didn"t they used to believe in the G.o.ddess? How could they now so firmly and unshakably betray the G.o.ddess?
What were these people planning on doing?
“Saintess… it"s useless, I admit that you"re outstanding and the youngest Saintess in the last hundred years, but you can"t do anything by yourself…”
“Enough! Tell me, where did Anderson go? Why are you making Lesser Devils!?”
“Saintess, you"ll find out sooner or later… we cannot escape the "original sin", the countdown till the end has begun…. only us, from "Venus", can save the continent. This is fate, Saintess, even if you were chosen by the G.o.ds you can"t stop fate…”
“Chosen by G.o.ds? What the h.e.l.l are you saying you d.a.m.n ****!?”
Snow had no idea what she was saying and wanted to increase the strength to give her a taste of pain, but she quickly realized that Selina couldn"t speak anymore.
The woman was suspended in midair, her limbs limply hanging. She didn"t move even after Snow retracted the webs and dropped her onto the floor. Dark red blood oozed out of her and her heart stopped.
“She didn"t resist and chose to commit suicide? d.a.m.n… What the h.e.l.l is original sin and Venus? Also… how was I chosen by the G.o.ds? Why didn"t that stinking old man tell me!”
She lost her last clue just like that, the church was empty and she didn"t know where else to go to find someone to interrogate.
She had thought that as long as she could get a handle on Anderson and destroy their den then the mission would be over. Who would have thought that it would be this troublesome!
“Ahhhh, d.a.m.n it… where did that d.a.m.n fatty go? He went through so much trouble to make Lesser Devils, for what? Did he really just want to get in the way of the Academy Tournament? But why, he doesn"t get anything…”
Snow scratched her hair in frustration, her long blue hair was being ruffled everywhere. Seeing that, Elona quickly came to stop her and help her straighten her hair.
“Elona? Mhm, good girl… don"t worry, I"m just venting… wait a second, Elona?” Snow was just gently patting Elona"s hands when she suddenly realized something!
“Master, you scared me, what is it?”
“Elona, didn"t Selina say that you were also a red-eyed black cat?”
“… Right, she did say that.” Elona nodded.
“So what did she mean by also? Other than you, are there any other red-eyed black cats nearby?”
“There"s my aunt… ehhh?”
She continued off what Snow was saying and held her mouth in shock from her speculation.
Other than her, the only other red-eyed black cat nearby was Elena. Although she hid well by Lin Xiao, she accidentally broke the crystal ball during the examination and exposed herself.
If it was Anderson, he definitely already noticed!
“No matter what, let"s go to the island and take a look first… Elona, let"s go! We don"t have much time!”
“The island? But master, how are we going to get there? Are we going to look for a carriage?”
“Idiot! Elona, did you forget that you were a red-eyed black cat! You can just take me right?” Snow tapped Elona"s head.
“Take you, how?”
“Of course by letting me ride you!”
“Ride… me???”
Elona blinked vacantly like she just heard the world"s most hilarious joke.
