“Master, master… where are you? I-I'm scared!”
A cute little servant was crying inside the cell while clawing around in the darkness, trying to find her master.
“Elona, are you joking? Please, I'm the blind one! I'm the one who should be scared because I can't see, why are you scared?” A childlike voice of ridicule came from the other side.
“Because… because… master!”
She ran towards the voice, it was like she found her life saver and tried to embrace her, but both their arms were cuffed and couldn't open up, so she could only squeeze up next to Snow and rub her fuzzy head into her chest to feel a sense of security.
Elona was puzzled to how Snow could remain so calm.
Last night, after Anderson tossed them into the prison, she was so scared that she couldn't sleep at all. But Snow was sound asleep, even while wearing cuffs she was able to sleep comfortably against the wall, and just woke up.
“Yawn… Elona, what about last night?”
“I didn't sleep last night… so I'm very tired.”
“Idiot! Who asked you about that? I was asking about whether anything happened or not?”
“Ah! Sorry… Anderson left very early and never came back. Selina came twice, and left at ease after seeing that you were asleep.”
“Hehe, they're really looking down on me, are they letting their guard down just because they think I'm a kid?” Snow laughed smugly then started talking to herself, “Strange, what did Anderson go to do? I don't know if he's discovered Elena's ident.i.ty or not. His goal should be to put the blame on me, but… what is he planning on doing?”
Elona tilted her head vacantly as she saw Snow deep in thought.
Now that they were imprisoned here, and were about to be burned at stake as a scapegoat, how did Snow still have the mood to think about Anderson's schemes?
“Master, w-we're about to die, you should think about how to survive!” Elona pouted and miserably complained.
“Hah? Elona, why are you also looking down on me? Do you think that I would fall for that fatty's trap? No, I was caught on purpose.” If Snow's hands weren't cuffed, she would give Elona's b.r.e.a.s.t.s a proper rubbing to show her who's boss!
“Eh? Master, you were purposely caught? I-I don't understand…”
“You really are stupid! Sigh, but it's because you're so stup… oh no, because you're so cute, that's why I let you be my maid!” Snow laughed and stood up while moving her body, like she was preparing for what was coming next.
“Okay, break's over, back to work!”
“Work?”
“Elona, come.” Snow beckoned at her.
“Y-yes, master.”
“Lower your head.”
“O-oh…”
Elona moved over confused, then lowered her head under her directions.
“Master, what are you doing?”
“Don't move, let me feel it…”
Snow's small hands slid down Elona's cheeks and didn't stop until she touched the necklace on her neck.
The silver neckband looked exquisite and high quality, far more beautiful than one for a normal maid. No one would expect that this was the core of the seal!
Just by taking it off, Elona's seal would be undone!
But… how do you undo it?
“Master?”
Elona had her head lowered so she couldn't see what Snow was doing, she just knew that she was messing with something on the neckband.
After a while, there was a sudden click.
Elona felt her neck get lighter, and realized that Snow took off her neckband!
“Ehhhh? Y-you can take this off?” Elona stared at the neckband in Snow's hand with surprise and didn't know what to say.
“Of course, I made it so that it could be taken apart, specially for times like these!” Snow spun the neckband on the tip of her finger, like she showing off for thinking ahead.
“Wuu… you tricked me!” Elona almost started crying.
What! This thing could be taken off? If she knew she would have secretly done it a long time ago, why did she have to suffer so much??
“Hehe, Elona, are you very angry? Okay, then try getting angry! What about yelling?”
“Wuu…” In the beginning, Elona bitterly stared at Snow and thought she was purposely teasing her, but she realized she was being serious and yelled.
“MASTER IS AN IDIOT!!!”
Her voice echoed in the prison and didn't disperse until a few seconds later.
After that, rapid disorganized footstep sounds sounded, it was obvious the guards heard and came to check it out.
Elona was frightened from those footsteps and wanted to apologize but she suddenly heard a faint cracking sound.
She lowered her head and saw a huge crack down her handcuffs, then just by applying some force, the entire thing broke into two half's and fell onto the ground.
“Hehe, not bad, not bad.”
Snow nodded after hearing it crack, then she moved her arms over and signalled her to do the same.
“Come, again! Louder!”
“… M-MASTER… MASTER IS AN IDIOT!!!”
Crack.
After that, Snow's cuff also broke into two!
“Hehe, I'm really too smart. You want to imprison me? Anderson, you're one hundred years too early! Never in your dreams would you even think that Elona was a high level demon, so her power could break the restraints of the magic stone and break it!”
That's right Elona was her biggest dependence and her trump card!
High level demons had a different power inside their bodies compared to humans, they couldn't use magic tools that normal humans could easily use. Not just that but their power will even break them!
Just like Elena, when she was taking the magic test, she accidentally made the crystal explode. Same with Elona, when Snow removed her neckband, her power wasn't restrained and it exploded out along with her shout!
The cuffs could easily imprison Snow, but it was a pipe dream to imprison a red-eyed black cat!
Because she antic.i.p.ated that, Snow could boldly entertain Anderson, and now it was the time to counterattack!
Tap, tap, tap… even though there was a wave of footstep sounds, Snow didn't care and silently stood at the door to welcome their arrival.
“Hey, what are you shouting for?”
Quickly, ten aggressive believers wearing white robes arrived.
Under the illumination of the faint wall lights, they noticed to their surprise that both of their cuffs were broken and instantly became vigilant.
“H-how did you get out of the cuffs?” The leader nervously asked.
“I don't know either. they just fell, probably broken… why don't you come and take a look?” Snow stood in the cell and said while giggling.
“Archbishop Anderson told us to make sure we watch her after he left and that there were no mishaps… hey, you guys go and take a look!”
“Yes!”
The three people in front received their orders and tried getting closer to see what that brat was trying to do. Very quickly, they were scared out of their wits and couldn't even move!
“Hey, why aren't you going? What are you waiting for? …Hey!?”
When the leader saw the three not moving, he flared up and tried to push them forwards, but before he could do that, he saw some strange shadows within the cell.
Curiously, he stuck his head out to take a closer look and he suddenly widened his eyes.
“W-what is that?”
Inside the dim cell, that short little girl was smiling as her pure white robes were lifting up. She raised her arms and opened her fingers, at that instant, countless strange dark purple magic threads shot out of her sleeves!
“Dark Spider Webs!”
“The Archbishop was right, she knows black magic! Let's… quickly! … Uh…”
The leader finally realized that it wasn't good and yelled out, but he couldn't make any sound and his movements stagnated and he couldn't take another step.
Countless webs completely surrounded them from head to toe in an instant and looked like a purple Zongzi. They couldn't even struggle before falling to the ground and losing their lives.
“What? Black magic? With the G.o.ddess as my witness, witch! She's a witch! Snow witch!”
Seeing that frightening scene, the remaining believers panicked and started yelling. They swung the weapons in their hands and tried to cut the strange threads, but they soon realized that they were far stronger than imagined and their weapons were completely useless.
“What is this!? My leg… ahhhhh!!!”
First it was the legs, then the upper limbs, and lastly the head… the terrifying dark purple thread entwined their bodies bit by bit so that they couldn't move or breathe. They could only futilely struggle and yell until their eyes were bloodshot and were foaming at their mouths until they became pitiful 'zongzi', until their hearts stopped.
Elona gasped as she watched this scene.
