Thud, thud-thud!
The body of 'Mikhail', maggot-like, pulsed quickly and violently as if it were a heart.
In the lead box, was her body.
And now, the lead box was at her feet.
She only needed to control Joe, and with a bend, she could reach it.
But the Southern Lost Spirit dium was by her side.
The other party would never allow her to take away the lead box.
And...
Could this be a test from the other side?
Thinking this, 'Mikhail' had Joe's body bend down and he scooped Pendragon up into his arms—
"What a heavy cat!
Lord Kledos, the cat you've raised is really strong!" Joe said.
'Mikhail' was observing Arthur's expression through Joe's eyes.
At the sight of expectation and excitent in Arthur's eyes when Joe bent down, followed by a faint sense of loss when he picked up the cat, 'Mikhail' laughed silently in her heart.
'It really is a test!
Was it the previous deal with Yula that led him to so speculations?
But what if there are speculations! You will never know that the real is right in front of you!' she thought confidently.
This internal monologue made 'Mikhail' feel even more smug.
anwhile, Joe was all the more humble, holding the cat while still bending over.
"Pan loves to eat.
Seems like because he was a stray before, he has an unusual obsession with food.
Also, he's naughty and extrely wary of strangers," Arthur explained.
As if to prove Arthur's words, the next mont Pendragon started to struggle violently in Joe's arms and when realizing he couldn't break free, he bit down.
Joe imdiately let go.
The bite was dodged.
But the claw that followed, a kick to escape, didn't miss.
Hiss!
A cry of pain escaped Joe's lips.
A bloody mark appeared right away.
"Sorry!"
Arthur, who was sitting nearby, imdiately stood up to apologize as he saw this happen.
"Mr. Qiao, please co with .
First wash it with plenty of saline, then I'll help you bandage it," he said while walking towards the cabin.
Joe didn't object to this.
'Mikhail' had no reason to object, but as she followed Arthur inside, the 'Lady of Sorrow' couldn't help but turn her head for a last look at the obese orange cat.
She would rember it well.
Cats hold grudges.
She, even more so.
Once she had gotten rid of the Southern Lost Spirit dium, she would skin this fat cat and make it into a foot mat.
She would walk on it day and night.
Until she...
Huh?!
'Mikhail's heart churned with venomous thoughts when she suddenly realized sothing was amiss.
Her head...
How had it fallen off?
As the head tumbled, using Joe's eyes, 'Mikhail' saw Arthur, who was still smiling apologetically at her, and then she witnessed the surprise, shock, and anger appearing in the eyes of the Southern Lost Spirit dium the next mont.
"Who?!"
With a low shout, the Southern Lost Spirit dium's hands revealed a Cold Aura.
A jeweled bead the size of a little finger sparkled.
'A Legendary Rank prop?!' 'Mikhail' marveled at the wealth of the Southern Lost Spirit dium. At the sa ti, 'Mikhail' also wanted to see who had attacked her.
However, as the 'Lady of Sorrow' began to look around, she realized sothing was wrong.
Apart from the cat, there were no other creatures here.
And...
That Cold Aura was directed at her!
At that mont, the 'Lady of Sorrow' struggled!
But it was too late.
As the Cold Aura from the Evil Spirit Orb shot forth, a huge lead box appeared.
Joe's body, his head included, was completely frozen, and in the next mont, even his head along with his body, was put into that lead box.
To better fit the 'Lady of Sorrow' inside, the invisible Tyr's Caress kept on rapidly striking throughout the process.
Crack!
After the crisp sound ca the constant shattering.
But not a single piece of ice fell outside.
The lead box was the perfect size and thickness, as if it had been made-to-asure.
Indeed, it was.
It was custom-ordered by Arthur for Catherine's help.
The twin sister, undoubtedly, had taken her task very seriously and accomplished it all.
Arthur took back Tyr's Caress into the Bracelet of Carn, and then extended his hand to Pendragon, who was looking at him expectantly.
An impatient Pendragon leaped up and high-fived his master.
Long ago, Pendragon had wanted to do just that.
But he never got the chance.
And this ti, finally getting his wish, Pendragon was extrely excited.
His tail was almost curling into a doughnut.
"Pan, you know, this is sothing to be proud of.
Do you know what I've locked up with your help?
Divine Spirits!
They call her a Divine Spirit!"
Arthur explained to Pendragon.
Imdiately, Pendragon grew even more excited.
But soon, Pan sensed that sothing was off—
ow ow ow?
"What? You say you've never seen such a stupid deity?
Well, I don't know why this deity is so stupid either.
Maybe...
Her brains were eaten by maggots?"
Arthur said seriously as he explained.
And such humiliating words made the 'Lady of Sorrow' in the lead coffin unable to remain silent any longer, as she growled softly.
"Shut up!
Arthur Kredos, do you know who you're talking to?"
The voice sounded a bit like Joe, but it was also mixed with a hoarse female voice.
When these two voices ca together, it beca quite strange.
Pendragon felt very uncomfortable.
And his Spirituality made this little kitty want to get away from there.
However, looking at Arthur, who remained still.
The little kitty didn't leave, but instead sat down by Arthur's feet and watched the lead box coffin.
Arthur bent down to pet his cat and then nodded and said—
"I know!
A god whose brains were gnawed by maggots."
This ti, the 'Lady of Sorrow' responded.
At this mont, the lady was very clear that from beginning to end, she had been outwitted by this detestable human, who had been deceiving her and acting all along.
And she?
Had discovered nothing at all!
She had completely fallen into the rhythm set by the other party!
Now, to say anything more would rely bring more humiliation upon herself.
It would be better to remain silent.
After all, couldn't he do nothing to her, right?
Arthur, on the other hand, remained smiling without a word.
The young Spirit dium took out two Fragntary Mikhail's Strong Touch and laid them on the table.
The 'Lady of Sorrow' inside the lead box coffin clearly sensed Arthur's actions. The lady was puzzled why Arthur was doing this.
What ca next only added to her confusion.
In the lady's perception, Arthur picked up the lead box containing parts of her body and placed it on the table, alongside the two Fragntary Mikhail's Strong Touch, arranging them side by side.
After adjusting the angles to make sure everything was aligned, Arthur then looked at the lead box coffin and said with a smile—
"How about we play a count-to-seven ga?"
