Her world was once the same as everyone elseâs, 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 Bobâs startled cry.
Was it reinforcements? Or a new enemy? Snow didnât 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 didnât stop.
âDid it change direction?â
She was right. When Bob heard the sudden sound, he immediately turned and cast his magic.
âBut, it seems like it didnât hitâŠâ
Since his black magic didnât explode, this meant that his attack failed.
âHeâs going to go higher and avoid their attacks, right?â
Just as Snow anticipated, Bob indeed wanted to use the black mist to quickly escape into the sky, but he didnât even realize what kind of monster he was up against!
âWho are you? What do you⊠puh!â
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.
âWas he hit?â
Snow couldnât 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 catâs 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 wasnât dead, he would be crippled.
Now that Bob was put to rest, it was her turn next, right?
âW-who are you? What do you want?â
Snow didnât 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 wasnât 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 couldnât hear anything.
âMaster⊠master?â
Snow could hear some dreamlike calls, but she couldnât trust them and continued hiding.
âMaster, come out! Itâs fine, Iâm Elona, I already finished off the enemies!â
That voice got closer and more clear, she shouted while wanting to peel open the cocoon.
âElona, is that you?â
Snow couldnât believe her own ears and was worried she was just hearing things.
âItâs me, master, hurry up and come out! This cocoon is hard and ugly, it doesnât suit you.â
âItâs really you? Elona!?â
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 Snowâs sleeves. At the same time, the eerie markings on half of her face also slowly faded and would soon completely vanish.
âElona?â
âMhm, itâs me, master!â
âElona? Elona?â
âThatâs right itâs me, Iâm here!â
âElona! Elona! Elona! ~~â
âUh⊠master, have you gone dumb?â
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.
âHm, no external injuries, just some impact⊠master, youâre fine!â
Elona happily hugged Snow like she was her little sister.
âWuu ⊠Elona, itâs really you? ⊠Why are you here? Wuu⊠no! W-what took you so long to get here?â
Snow stuck out her hands and felt around on Elonaâs face and finally confirmed it was her and then she couldnât help but cry!
âStupid cat! Bad cat! Dumb cat! Where did you run off too? Why didnât you come earlier? Did you know that I almost died! WahhhâŠâ
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 didnât bother her. She patted Snowâs small head to calm her.
âMaster! Did you know? It turns out that Bob is a really bad guy!â Elona suddenly gestured with her fists and warned Snow.
âSigh, Elona, thankfully you were here, otherwise that crafty White night really would have killed me!â
âWhite night? Whoâs that?â
âHm? Itâs Bob, heâs actually a spy from the enlightenment society⊠didnât you know?â
âNo.â Elona shook her head.
âHah? You didnât know? Then why did you say Bob was a bad guy? And how did you know I was in danger?â
Snow was confused. If Elona didnât know Bobâs real identity, how did she realize she was tricked and come to rescue her?
âSomeone told me.â
âWhoâs âsomeoneâ?â
âI donât know either⊠itâs a girl!â
âA girl?â
âShe didnât 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!â
âMaster, she saved me and you, sheâs a good person! You should thank her!â
â⊠But I donât know who she is, how do I thank her?â
âEh? Master, you donât know her? I thought you sent her to me!â
âOf course not! Idiot, canât 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 everyoneâs words⊠do you not have a brain!?â
âWuuu âŠmaster, I was wrong.â
âSigh, forget it, you saved me, I shouldnât blame you.â
Snow helplessly sighed and stuck her face onto Elonaâs 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 herâŠ
But how did she know that much?
Who was she?
âDid that person have any special characteristics?â
âNo⊠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!â
âHah? Seems like a good person? You dumb cat, can you tell whether someone is good or bad from appearances alone?â
This dumb catâŠ
But the main question was, who was this black-haired girl?
