Chapter 42: Mystic Society (Part ½)

Cat Eyes’s felt her thoughts become unprecedentedly clear under the stimulation of anger. She was going to expose this demon’s plot, so she gaped her mouth open to shout on the spot. But it was only then did she discover that all the muscles of her body no longer listened to her.

Her fury was just a short burst of flame. Boundless waves of terror had risen and extinguished it.

At the very moment, all of Cat Eyes’s energy was dissolved within the giant waves of terror, and her self-willpower also dissolved along with it. Emotions of remorse began to emerge within this sea of terror:

This demon. Did he have me as his target from the start? Or is it because I offended him?

God, I’m so stupid!

Cat Eyes was full of remorse. She was just like a sacrifice placed upon an altar. Her body didn’t move and she uttered not a word. Even her thoughts gradually froze and perished. All that was left was her blood and soul, and they flowed out one drop after another. It was unknown where they flowed to.

She tried to find the destination of her blood and soul, but it was as if she had been dropped into a boundless prison within her dazzled and blurred mind. Six sources of glowing light lit up within the treacherous shadowy coldness of the stirring darkness. A vague outline revolved in her surroundings. Several feet scurried around, gradually drawing closer.

Her frozen consciousness suddenly trembled for she received some stimulation. It came from the distinct memory of the profile of the operation’s target:

”Human-Faced Arachnid? Why is it the Human-Faced Arachnid?”

No one was able to answer her question within this dizziness. No one to relieve her of her terror.

As the form of the Human-Faced Arachnid became clear, the surrounding screen of darkness came alive to possess its own intentions. It drew endlessly closer to her, and the warped darkness in front of the Human-Faced Arachnid was none other than its giant ugly mouth!

She was going to be chewed, dissolved, then consumed…...

No! No way!

Cat Eyes suddenly comprehended something, and the source of this understanding came from the mental senses of being an Awakened…… It didn’t matter if this was a demonic ritual, if this was a trap, if she was really consumed by the Human-Faced Arachnid, she would inevitably sink to a place of damnation with no hope of recovery. She would never have another chance!

Save me! Save me! Someone save me!

Cat Eyes was gradually losing consciousness on the mental plane as she shouted herself hoarse. But on the physical plane, she was doing nothing more than just slightly trembling with a drooping head.

The more she felt the reality of her situation, the more she despaired.

In the end, what kind of power was it that imprisoned her in this terrifying darkness?

Was there no power that could save her?

“Crackle!”

An unusual vibration rang out of the darkness. From the deepest depths of the darkness came long glimmering chains that pierced over in an instant.

This change was completely incomprehensible to Cat Eyes. But when faced with the desperate situation of being consumed by the Human-Faced Arachnid, she would strive to grasp onto any variable to change that.

If both were desperate situations, then she would choose the one that was less evil…...

Her entire consciousness concentrated over there. She did the utmost to shout: “Save me! Save me!”

The chains clearly responded to her cry, crackling and rattling as they penetrated through space. Cat Eyes had zero intentions of avoiding them. She let the chains run through her body and pierce her soul. It wasn’t painful; instead, she had the strange feeling of being supported.

She let the chains permeate through her body as much as possible, to extend to every nook and cranny in her body and mind. The crackling sound was no longer heard and in its place was the bizarre “ka chunk” sound of locking. Every ka chunk that sounded out was the sound of some chain link locking rigidly in place.

From Cat Eyes’s perspective, this represented a safety rope on her body in face of danger. Every locking of a chain link gave a fantastic feeling of safety and satisfaction.

Then Cat Eyes felt herself rising up to gradually leave this sheet of darkness. Her strength was also gradually recovering and more of her consciousness entered the plane of reality.
