In the midst of Zhong Shenxiu dealing with the two investigators,

under the same night sky,

in a certain place in Byron City,

a woman with round eyes, a small nose, and a slightly shorter stature, clutching a greaseproof paper bag filled with dry bread and cheese, swiftly ducked into an apartment building.

She turned on the gas lamp, and her figure suddenly trembled.

Inside the room, there was already a woman seated.

She was enveloped in a white witch’s robe, wearing a tall, pointed hat.

At this moment, the white-robed witch looked at her, her face serious and solemn, "Cadlyan, you stole our school’s precious documents. Hand them over now!"

"Hehe... They don’t belong to your school. Your school simply snatched them from the servants of the Master of Black Blood. I won’t give up... that is... the ’Holy Grail’ after all!"

Cadlyan’s expression quickly turned composed and calm, glancing around, "Radiant runes, binding runes... You have set up many things, but none of it will work... Oh, perhaps you’ve turned my house upside down and didn’t find what you wanted, how disappointing, isn’t it?"

"I won’t be disappointed, as long as I capture you, that is enough."

The white-robed witch tapped the floor with her oak spell staff.

Around the walls, symbols resembling white eyes appeared, emitting a blinding light.

The floor cracked, and black thorns grew, entwining Cadlyan like iron whips.

"Hehe, how pathetic!"

Cadlyan laughed softly, and her skin suddenly turned black.

Splash!

Her entire body dissolved into black sludge, which spread softly around her, exuding a foul stench.

The disgusting black mud splattered on the white-robed witch, who let out a piercing scream, "Incarnation of sin? Cadlyan, you can’t escape!"

...

Several streets away,

The darkness writhed, opening a large mouth, spewing out the figure of a woman—it was unmistakably Cadlyan.

She drew her body in, tightened her clothes, and began to move swiftly, a sly smile on her lips as she muttered to herself, "Haha... The people from the Radiant School are as foolish as ever, they’re much easier to deal with than the genuine lunatics of the Chasing Cup Sect."

Cadlyan moved agilely through the darkness, and soon arrived at a suburban area, "I should leave now... Can’t stay in one place for too long, that would bring those mad dogs running. Damn it... Once I fully decipher that document and find the Holy Grail, I’ll definitely kill those mad dogs!"

"Yes, we are mad dogs, we chase after the Holy Grail like flies chasing a stench!"

A chorus of voices suddenly emerged from around her.

Cadlyan saw several mysterious figures in black robes with red patterns appearing from all around, her expression truly changing, "The people from the Chasing Cup Sect?!"

"Child, the document in your hands was originally ours, taken by the hypocrites of the Radiant School..."

A figure in a black robe stepped forward, "You were able to obtain it with our covert assistance, and now, it’s time for it to return to its rightful owner!"

"In your dreams!"

Cadlyan looked around, her body seemingly about to dissolve into mud again.

But in the next moment, another figure in a black robe stepped forward, ignoring Cadlyan as she melted and emitted a foul stench, and embraced her.

Cadlyan saw the creature’s head.

Shriveled and wrinkled, it seemed to belong to a very old person, who opened his wide mouth, head splitting open like a chrysanthemum, with countless bits of flesh and teeth, biting into her shoulder.

Pop!

Scalding blood splattered everywhere, indicating that Cadlyan’s Incarnation Technique had been interrupted.

Pain dramatically painted her face as she watched the robed figures greedily sprawl on the ground, lapping up every drop of blood mixed with dirt into their mouths.

"No!"

Cadlyan let out an angry roar as a red pendant around her neck suddenly burst into a crimson light.

"The Red Protection?!"

The black-robed figures with their heads split open emitted sounds of disbelief.

The next moment, accompanied by the sudden explosion and disappearance of the scarlet light, Cadlyan’s figure vanished amidst the encirclement of a large number of black-robed figures.

...

"Damn it!"

Byron City, Earl District.

Cadlyan clutched her shoulder, moving with difficulty through the darkness.

She tore open the clothing at her shoulder and, looking at the fearful bite mark that appeared, her face turned fierce. She rapidly recited a few spells, conjured a flame, and scorched the wound.

The smell of burning flesh filled the air as her facial muscles twitched incessantly, and finally, she let out a long sigh of relief.

"The Chasing Cup Sect won’t let me go, they will surely blockade Byron City, hunting for me like mad dogs... Their bodily fluids contain a potent poison, and even the fire’s burning can’t completely eradicate it..."

Cadlyan thought quickly, "I need a place to stay, a safe place."

As she ran, she found herself outside a beautiful apartment.

"Meow!"

In the darkness, two green lights flashed, startling Cadlyan.

When she came to her senses, she realized it was a little black cat taking a walk in the garden.

"Come here, little darling!"

Cadlyan’s eyes shifted, as she cooed in a seductive tone.

The silly little black cat walked over to her and was grabbed: "Perfect... I’ll use the unnamed spell I’ve just defined!"

Cadlyan belonged to the Natural School and worshiped the Fallen Great Demon.

The unnamed spells of the Great Demon all shared a characteristic: they were disgusting and evil!

She had just defined an unnamed spell and had named it ’Lesser Transformation Spell’!

The effect was that it could transform into small animals, but not species with mystical powers, and it couldn’t transform into humans.

In reality, the spell was somewhat useless, but she had already tried it twice and couldn’t continue without offending the Great Demon, so she reluctantly accepted it.

And now, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to use the Lesser Transformation Spell!

’Each time the Lesser Transformation Spell is cast, to become something, one must consume most of the blood and flesh of that thing!’

’I could turn into this little cat, hide inside this family’s home, and replace its original place, which won’t raise any suspicions...’

Cadlyan swallowed, looking at the little black cat in her hands, and opened her mouth wide.

The practice of the unnamed spells was a painful process, but as a servant of the Great Demon, she had done even more disgusting things.

Eating raw flesh and blood was nothing in comparison.

With that thought, she was about to forcefully bite through the little black cat’s neck and suck the scalding blood.

"Who are you? What do you intend to do with my cute little cat?"

Just then, a young man’s voice suddenly rang out.

Cadlyan’s body shuddered, and she saw under the moonlight a gentleman dressed as if he were attending a masquerade ball approaching.

"Just my luck..."

She sighed, ready to use the unnamed spell.

But the man opposite her was faster.

Snap!

An invisible soul shockwave surged ferociously, and Cadlyan, already heavily wounded, rolled her eyes back and passed out.

"Eh? This woman... Cadlyan?"

Zhong Shenxiu looked at the unconscious woman, slightly surprised.
