Chapter 282 - An Explanation (1/2)

The weird power behind him raised gooseb.u.mps all over Roland’s body. He suddenly turned around, only to see a thin, fair hand reaching for his throat.

The fingers on this hand were pointy, with blood-like nail polish.

Roland suddenly leaned back and unleashed all his mental power to create a Magic s.h.i.+eld.

Magic s.h.i.+elds were generally transparent, but this one was milky, no longer as thick as an eggsh.e.l.l but at least three centimeters thick.

By logic, such a Magic s.h.i.+eld could’ve resisted all attacks below the level of Legendary.

However, this tiny hand only squeezed it softly, and the Magic s.h.i.+eld was already creaking as if it were falling apart.

The cracks were spreading out from where the Magic s.h.i.+eld was being squeezed.

Roland had foreseen the possibility a month earlier. Though uncomfortable, he was not really nervous.

The Magic s.h.i.+eld gradually turned transparent, and Roland stared at the owner of the tiny hand… Mirna.

At this point, Mirna did not look as obedient as before. Her smiling lips looked like a crescent moon and seemed quite creepy.

Also, her eyes turned from bright brown to deep green. They seemed to be glimmering too.

More importantly… Mirna had a white arm though her skin was dark.

Mirna smiled even more creepily and delightedly when Roland stared at her.

Although cracks were spreading on the Magic s.h.i.+eld, it was still functional at this point.

Staring at her, Roland asked casually, “Who are you?”

In silence, Mirna squeezed the Magic s.h.i.+eld for another while. Though more cracks were appearing, the Magic s.h.i.+eld was still intact.

At this point, a wound appeared on the hand Mirna had on the s.h.i.+eld, and blood squirted into the air.

Then, the mist of blood dispersed.

Another two seconds later, another mist of blood spurted out.

Roland slightly raised his eyebrow.

There were no more cracks on the Magic s.h.i.+eld.

Three seconds later, multiple streams of blood squirted simultaneously, and Mirna moved her hand back.

She stared at Roland for a while and suddenly said, “This body is too meager. You’re lucky today. But don’t be relieved yet. I’ll come back again.”

Her voice was weird because it seemed to be echoing. It was rather intimidating, but pleasant too.

After that, Mirna put on a thoughtful smile, before she closed her eyes and lay on the ground.

Roland went over and checked Mirna’s status. He was relieved to find that she’d only pa.s.sed out due to exhaustion.

After that, Roland left the cave through Teleportation.

About four hours later, Mirna woke up in a shock. She looked around and then between her legs. Feeling her own body again, she sighed in disappointment.

That man was really a coward to have done nothing to her.

She picked up the meatloaf on the ground, only to find that her right hand had turned white. She was quite confused.

Roland, on the other hand, had teleported back to Delpon. He returned to his manor after several minutes of gagging.

Seated in a chair, he enjoyed Andonara’s ma.s.sage while he considered what had happened just now.

Mirna was obviously possessed by a powerful soul lurking in her body.

There was no telling if it was a ghost or a devil.

That thing did not reveal any ability, but only used some physical strength. After all, Mirna’s body was not the best container.
