Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 467 - Chapter 467 Chapter 464 The Reason (Two-In-One)_2

Chapter 467: Chapter 464: The Reason (Two-In-One)_2 Chapter 467: Chapter 464: The Reason (Two-In-One)_2 As for Anna across from me, she must have been possessed by some powerful creature behind the Shadow Gate, perhaps the Queen of the Night, or maybe something else.

Green apparently came well-prepared; he had made all the necessary arrangements before taking action. This man had a strong will and meticulous mind, but more importantly, a sufficient level of indifference.

A woman he had lived with for 13 years, a wife who had devoted herself to him and borne his daughter–without any hesitation, he pierced her heart, as if he were crushing an ant!

Thump!

Anna’s body was hit as if by a giant hammer, flung across the corridor from one end to the other.

And then embedded into the wall.

“It’s useless, I know the source of your power, and I understand you even more than you understand yourself.”

The same face, but at this moment, what Anna conveyed was entirely the demeanor of another person; she struggled out of the wall, about to exert her strength, but her body suddenly wavered.

Looking down, a strange web of blood crept up her body, and her entire left arm was involuntarily expelled from her body by a force.

Blood gushed out, and the arm fell to the ground.

Panic flickered across Anna’s face, then a loud bang echoed from somewhere in the manor, siphoning all the energy from the space and converging it into one place.

There was no explosion; like a deflated balloon, the powerful force was drawn out of her body.

Anna looked panicked. When she looked up again, Green was already standing in front of her, as if he had laid down a heavy burden.

A smile crossed Green’s face, “Finally, it’s successful. Without that gate, you can’t continue to draw power.”

“Lilith, let me go!”

Green’s expression changed, his words even carrying a hint of pleading.

In the manor, something sinister was ripped away, vanishing into the void, and even Roger sensed the anomaly.

Blood-red threads wrapped around Anna’s body, immobilizing her, and the destruction of the gate caused the aura around Anna to rapidly weaken.

Even so, Green did not let his guard down in the face of the woman before him, because he knew that his victory was only temporary.

“Let you go?”

A cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“I am the night, I am death, I will haunt you forever.”

“Just wait, it won’t be long before I come back! Not by Advent, but by directly breaking through the space and appearing before you in my true form!!”

“I’ll rip out your innards and hang them on the roof of my castle!”

A flicker of disappointment crossed Green’s face, “You forced my hand!”

“I won’t let you return…”

He resolved something in his heart.

Finally, the suction around her reached its peak, the blood-red web wrapped around a mass of black material, and then it was ripped from Anna’s body and surged towards the depths of the manor.

Deprived of the mystical power’s support, Ana’s body fell from midair, she still retained the size of an adult, but when she opened her eyes, there was nothing but childlike innocence in them.

“Patter!”

The hard soles of her shoes made a light sound as they hit the floor, and Anna looked up to see her father’s familiar face.

“Daddy, what happened?”

“How come I’m here?”

“Where’s Mommy? Where is she?”

The girl’s eyes were full of panic, her voice tinged with a sob.

“Don’t be afraid, dear.”

Green bent down, his palm passing over Anna’s head.

“For me — no, for the sake of many ordinary families — I cannot allow you to remain here as her vessel.”

Green spoke words that the Anna of this moment could not comprehend.

Despite her young age, the oppressive air swirling around her instinctively made her aware of the crisis.

“Daddy, where is Mommy…”

Green ignored everything Anna said, his gaze firm as his right hand reached for the weapon strapped to his back!

“My dear, your sacrifice will be remembered!”

At that moment, Roger wished nothing more than to break free from this eerie state and grind this hypocritical man into mincemeat.

But he knew it had all already happened.

The space was trembling, as if with the closing of the Shadow Gate, the abnormal energies enveloping the manor also vanished.

The house was just a house, and shadows were merely variations in light.

Everything before his eyes blurred like ink in water, with dense blackness filling Roger’s vision as he emerged from that strange state.

When he came to his senses, he found himself in a void.

Memory fragments swarmed around him from all directions, and Anna, whom he was holding, also showed a pained expression on her face.

Roger knew that Green must have cruelly dismembered Anna, and, to be safe, it was very likely that he had divided Ana’s body into several parts and sent them around the world.

“The night…”

“Are you talking about the Queen of the Night?”

If Roger’s guess was correct, then the source of Green’s rise could be found, as over 100 years ago, Green had clearly used the power of the Queen of the Night to ascend from a mere Transcendent to a fourth tier in an extremely short time.

But such a swift advancement clearly demanded a price, Green broke free from the Queen of the Night’s control, but the subsequent retaliation followed closely thereafter.

To protect himself, he schemed against his own wife and made her part of a terrible ritual, even dismembering Anna, who was once a vessel, to avoid being tracked down.

So far, Roger had found two complete pieces of Anna’s skeleton, the arm bone of her left arm and the leg bone of her right leg.

The arm bone came from Bordeaux, while the leg bone came from the Lietta Family’s abandoned manor here.

Although the information he possessed was limited, Roger tried to reconstruct what had happened in the past.

Green had traded an unknown price with the Queen of the Night, Lilith, for power far beyond the normal, but afterwards, Green broke his vow and suffered the Queen’s retribution.

Lilith, through fragments of the Shadow World, tracked down Green in the real world. Maybe because of a special bloodline, she tempted Ana to open the Shadow Gate, and as a price, Ana lost her right leg.

But at the same time, that right leg also became a channel that connected the Shadow World with the real manor, and Roger didn’t understand why Green at that time didn’t choose to move away from here.

He might have been held up by other matters, or perhaps he wasn’t in the manor at the time. Anyway, as Ana grew up, Lilith’s power grew stronger.

The Shadow World even began to affect reality.

And Lilith even used some of her power to assimilate Ana’s left arm.

At the same time, Ana’s appearance grew increasingly similar to Lilith’s original look.

This made Green panic and finally resolve to kill his wife and daughter himself, even dismembering his daughter and sealing her away!

Perhaps it was fate, but Roger, thousands of miles away, met Ana for the first time when he chose Hunter’s Cabin.

Growing up together, and with each other’s help, Ana also found more of her missing bones, but the ultimate truth uncovered was unbearably despairing.

And the enemy was powerful to the point of being almost unshakeable.

As for the other parts of Ana’s body, if Roger was not mistaken, Lilith’s assimilation had only gone up to a certain stage, initially completing the transformation of the left hand bone.

Therefore, the other parts of Ana’s body were just ordinary human and had likely completely dissipated over the long seal and passage of time.

As for Ana’s right leg, because of the breaking of the Shadow Gate, it was left in the Shadow World. 100 years had passed, and her right leg had transformed, even becoming a Cursed Item, reappearing in the manor.

Counting the time, that should have been around the time of the Sword in the Stone incident, which was also the beginning of the Black Tide.

The surging of the Black Tide also brought all the subsequent changes.

Green came here, probably to explore whether the Shadow Gate he had closed in the manor would open again with the arrival of the Black Tide.

But although the Shadow Gate was opened, under the influence of Hunter’s Cabin, it became a private kingdom belonging only to Roger.

At that moment, Ana, with a face full of pain, opened her eyes and looked towards Roger.
