The Wolf’s Bride

The Lamiai clan’s secret arts included a technique for swimming underwater, Coupled with Luna’s increased strength, swimming came as naturally to her as if she were a fish.

However…

Splash…

Before long, Luna vaguely saw some dark figures.

It was the lesser demon snakes that she encountered earlier. They were lurking in the water, constantly moving.

When Luna appeared, they smelled her scent and swam straight toward her.

“Heh…” Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

If it were before, Luna would have found them troublesome. Now, however, these lesser demon snakes were no threat to her. She could deal with them with barely any effort.

Whirr…

Luna’s eyes lit up, forming pupils that resembled snake eyes. Her whole body released a powerful snake–like aura. It was like she was the king of snakes, no, the God of snakes!

This was one of the secret arts that Luna cultivated–Medusa’s Gaze. It could intimidate and control snakes. It was one of the Lamiai clan’s innate talents.

Sure enough, as the aura spread, the lesser demon snakes around quickly calmed down and became as docile as kittens, showing no intention of attacking.

Luna controlled the lesser demon snakes to clear a path and smoothly returned to the surface.

Splash…

She emerged from the water like a changed person.

Rufus, who had been standing guard here all along, was startled and stammered, “Y–you’re back…”

Then, he did not dare to look at Luna again and shouted loudly toward the distance. “Master, Ms. Crestfall has come out of Tartarus…”

As soon as he spoke, an elegant old man soon appeared in their line of sight. It was Adeptus Cirrus. He quickly walked up to Luna and looked her up and down. ”

Ms. Crestfall, I presume the injuries in your body and the poison have all been healed?”

Although that was what he said, he still shot out a few silk threads to entangle Luna’s wrist to check her condition.

“Huh?” Upon inspection, he was instantly amazed. “Not only are you fully healed, but your condition is better than ever. It’s truly incredible!”

Luna’s strength had increased considerably. The influence of the demon snake’s power and the Sanguis Blade had also diminished, and her character was

gradually returning to how it used to be before.

She smiled faintly. “It’s all thanks to you for pointing me in the right direction, Adeptus Cirrus.”

Then, she bowed respectfully toward Adeptus Cirrus.

“You’re too polite, Ms. Crestfall.” Adeptus Cirrus smiled kindly and asked with curiosity, “Ms. Crestfall, what did you encounter in Tartarus? Was there really a demon as the rumors say?”

A demon?

Luna could not help but laugh.

If someone saw the lamia for the first time, they might indeed think that it was a demon. However, the lamia was not a demon. She was her redemption.

Luna shook her head and said, “I’m not sure. I just encountered some demon snakes in the pool and passed out.

“When I woke up again, I was healed.”

The demon snakes in the pool were easily detectable, so there was no harm in mentioning them. However, she would not utter a word about her master.

“I see…” Adeptus Cirrus shook his head. “It seems I was too greedy.”

Luna smiled silently.

Then, the three returned to Fleming Manor.

Upon arrival, Adeptus Cirrus took some pills out and gave them to Luna. “Ms. Crestfall, these are some pills I refined recently. Although you’ve already recovered, it’s always good to be prepared.”

Luna did not decline the gift from the legendary doctor.

“Thank you, Adeptus Cirrus.”

She put away the pills and expressed her gratitude as well as apologized for the previous incidents, then left Fleming Manor.

When she returned to the underground secret chamber in Dream’s Waterfront, she called Marcellus over.

“Marcellus, how is the situation outside now? How prepared is the Shrouded Gate?”

Luna was already eager to act.
