Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 621 - Chapter 621 Chapter 543 Mountain Womans Request

Chapter 621: Chapter 543: Mountain Woman’s Request Chapter 621: Chapter 543: Mountain Woman’s Request Indeed, if it hadn’t been for Uma’s sudden intervention, it’s very likely that Roger would have left Isobushi’s body through the power of Shadow’s Touch.

As for Higurashi Chika and the others, they would probably have been directly taken to the target point of the teleportation.

Then Roger’s journey at Sunrise would have been a total failure.

He calmed his heart, feeling the contract that Uma had branded into his soul.

The connection was still there but had become extremely faint.

Within the range of Shadow Cottage’s influence, his wounds healed at an incredibly fast rate, and even the Pale Blood became active and began to regenerate.

Roger crossed the garden, walked down the path where he had once summoned Uma, and came to the Shadow Gate. He placed his palm on it, activating the contract in his mind.

After a long time, all was still.

Unable to calm his mind and hesitating for a moment, Roger still withdrew his hand. Something had happened to Uma; the connection between them severed, but there was one person who could surely find her.

Mountain Woman.

In fact, not long ago, Roger had thought he would never see this woman again. Due to past experiences, he was wary of her.

But considering what Uma had done,

he thought it over and decided he should still contact her.

But not here.

With that thought, he disappeared and reappeared at the Graveyard Cabin.

Because of the Shadow’s impact on reality,

the first layer of the cave where Hundred-Eyes Monster resided had become Roger’s private space. If anyone tried to enter that area without Roger’s permission, they would trigger the cabin’s defense mechanism and be immediately detected by Roger.

Thus, even in the real world, Roger could always grasp certain situations in Everworld to avoid any accidents.

Henrik and Amanda had already left Bordeaux. The Graveyard Cabin seemed deserted; recently Goway and her kind had been living in the Fairytale Manuscripts.

And the manuscripts were placed in Hunter’s Cabin.

Without visiting Goway, Roger left the Graveyard Cabin directly and took the latest flight directly to Eld.

After leaving the airport, he took a car to the nearby mountains and forests.

This time, without using any summoning techniques, Roger maintained the state of Shadow’s Touch. The Shadow Power surged into reality, and he knew that Mountain Woman would definitely feel this unusual energy.

And he wouldn’t have to wait long.

“What are you doing here?”

A familiar voice came from the woods. Roger turned his head and saw a half-exposed face emerging from the shadows.

A damaged body, an ugly countenance, but still the familiar atmosphere and the same person.

“What’s the matter?”

“Are you tired of that maid and looking to switch to a new one?” Mountain Woman said with a face full of scorn.

Roger narrowed his eyes, “Don’t put on that look of a resentful woman, I don’t owe you anything. On the contrary, you’ve taken advantage of a portion of the trust I placed in you.”

Mountain Woman fell silent.

“Speak up, what do you want from me?” Her tone became calm, reverting to her former demeanor.

“Uma has run into some trouble. The connection between us has been cut off.” Saying this, Roger briefly recounted his entry into Everworld to Mountain Woman.

“…That’s the situation.”

“I know that although she has entered into a contract with me, her true body has never left that world. You might know something.”

“Hahahaha!”

Mountain Woman laughed loudly, “That fool, shadows are like snow in the sunlight, even with the protection of Shadow’s Power, such behavior is no different from suicide.”

Roger’s heart tightened.

“To tell the truth, I haven’t seen her in a long time. According to you, she might have already shattered into pieces.”

“Her death would make the cage even more Solidity, and I would never have the chance to leave here.”

“Dead?!” Roger’s expression changed.

“Even if she’s not dead, she’s not far from it.”

Roger’s gaze flickered, “Can you save her?”

“Say it, what are your terms if you were to help?”

Roger asked without hesitation.

This time, it was Mountain Woman who was surprised. She scrutinized Roger carefully, her murky eyes filled with emotions Roger could not understand.

“Stupid woman, foolish master!” Mountain Woman muttered under her breath, and for some reason, Roger always felt that her gaze held a bit of inexplicable envy.

“Wait.”

With that, her figure gradually vanished into the shadows.

Meanwhile, in the chaotic Shadow World, Mountain Woman no longer bore the ugly appearance she showed to the outside world.

She parted the darkness with her hands, breaking through the blockade to reach the other side of the region. There, in a stone-built house, lay Uma, unconscious and gradually fading.

Mountain Woman was much more powerful than Uma and, in her view, Uma’s actions constituted a complete betrayal.

But for the two people on the isolated island, even sworn enemies wouldn’t wish death upon each other before leaving the island.

After all, a little emotional conflict and so-called hatred are insignificant compared to endless loneliness and despair.

Mountain Woman opened her hands, and black Energy flowed into Uma’s body, gradually making Uma’s dim form solidify. Just then, as Mountain Woman hovered in mid-air, she suddenly let out a cold snort.

“Wake up and get moving, or I don’t mind hitting you again!”

“I’m too badly hurt.”

Uma hurriedly opened her eyes, “I didn’t expect you to actually break your own seal to see me, my sister for so many years; it seems you’ve forgiven me.”
