Chapter 604 Dog Blocking the Road <TOC> Chapter 606 Mysterious Space
Translator: SumTLMan
The spotted dog hunched its body and barked at them a few times before squatting down in place.
“Mentor, is there something wrong with it?” Angel cautiously inquired through the mental link: “The parasites here don’t infest it, which is very strange.”
Angel sensed something was off with Sanders and, considering his odd gaze, had an inkling in his heart.
However, when he voiced his doubts, Sanders hesitated: “It looks like an ordinary dog, but appearing here… indeed, something is off.”
Even in the Eye of True Sight, the dog was just an ordinary dog, but would an ordinary dog freely roam the dark domain?
A dancing flame suddenly emerged from Sanders’ palm.
Without any warning, the flame opened its eyes and transformed into a fire spirit, charging at the spotted puppy.
—To find out if there’s something wrong, just try.
A faint clear radiance emerged from the depths of Sanders’ eyes as he carefully observed the energy fluctuations on the puppy… Just as the fire spirit was about to touch the puppy, a shadow suddenly appeared without warning in front of the puppy, blocking the fire spirit for it.
Sparks flew and scattered.
With a muffled sound, a figure as white as jade appeared before them.
It was a woman standing on tiptoes, like a ballet dancer. She wore a beautiful gown with a black base and golden pattern, and her exposed hands and feet were as delicate as lotus roots.
But her face… was a rigid wooden puppet face. Her eyes were wide open, and her mouth had evident assembly marks from both corners, with a wooden texture visible in the cracks.
The puppet woman stood in front of the puppy, having previously slapped the fire spirit into a shower of sparks.
“Is she…” Angel looked at the suddenly appearing puppet with doubt and asked in secret: “Mentor, is she Yorkshire?”
Sanders pondered for a moment and shook his head: “The shadow that attacked me earlier was not human-shaped.”
The puppet woman creaked and turned her head, lifted her skirt, and half-knelt. After opening and closing her mouth for a while, she gently uttered: “Greetings, Your Highness Shava.”
Each word was separated by a pause, and every syllable carried a “clicking” sound.
Although Angel still had no clue about the true nature of “Shava” and whether it was male or female, it was obvious that the “Shava” the other party referred to was him.
Angel furrowed his brow, wondering how to respond. Was he supposed to awkwardly act again, like when he faced the owl doll Ollie last time?
As Angel pondered how to respond, the puppy behind the puppet woman suddenly barked.
“Woof woof!” The puppy fiercely barked at the puppet woman and even pounced on her, biting her delicate foot fiercely.
The puppet woman lowered her head with a “clack clack clack” sound, looking at the dog at her feet, with a puzzled expression.
Angel and Sanders exchanged glances, wondering what was going on with this dog. The puppet woman had already clearly proven by blocking a fire attack for the dog that there was definitely something wrong with it.
But why did the dog, which had been proven to have a problem, suddenly attack the puppet woman who seemed to have saved it?
The puppet woman didn’t attack the puppy, just watching it bite. As a puppet, no matter how hard it bit, it wouldn’t actually feel any pain.
After biting for a long time, the puppy finally let go. Faint bite marks could be seen on the delicate foot.
Then the puppy wagged its tail at Angel, putting on a “I’m so awesome, please praise me” appearance.
“I think it might be a silly dog,” Angel turned to Sanders.
Sanders nodded in agreement: “Yes, a silly dog.”
Because of the puppy’s interruption, Angel forgot to reply to the puppet woman and focused all his attention on the puppy. At this moment, the puppet woman suddenly opened her mouth with a “clack clack clack” sound: “Watcher, are you here to obstruct the Queen’s plan again?”
Again? Sanders’ eyes flashed with confusion: “How? Did that little fox, Foxx, tell you?”
“Insolent! The name of the One Who Holds the Strings is not for the likes of a Watcher to speak!”
“Not only can I speak its name, but I can also kill it.” Sanders’ eyes narrowed, and ripples quickly spread from his body.
The ripples quickly spread to the puppet woman’s side.
The puppet woman was instantly engulfed by the ripples, which immediately turned into solid ropes that completely tied her hands and feet.
Seeing that the puppet woman was already in a passive state, she suddenly had a strange golden thread flashing at every joint of her body. The golden threads connected to the void, as if someone was controlling her from there. With a gentle pull, she flew into the air, completely escaping the range of the ripples.
As the puppet woman flew into the air, she also shot out countless golden threads towards Sanders. However, these golden threads seemed to consciously avoid Angel.
In a flash, Sanders appeared behind the puppet woman and forcefully slapped her, breaking her entire body into hundreds of pieces.
However, the hundreds of pieces were quickly reassembled into a complete puppet by the golden threads in the void on the other side.
Angel looked surprised and puzzled: “Why are they starting a fight all of a sudden?”
He knew that he couldn’t get involved in this battlefield, so he quickly called for Toby to retreat. As he retreated, he said to Sanders: “Mentor, I’ll leave first and continue looking for other people.”
Sanders simply replied: “Hmm.”
However, at this moment, Angel didn’t notice that the spotted puppy had appeared beside him, rubbing its head against his leg.
Angel patted its head: “Silly dog, run away quickly, or you’ll get caught in their fight and won’t know where to complain when you’re dead.”
After saying that, Angel turned around and left.
The spotted puppy behind Angel’s back suddenly showed a bewildered and confused look in its eyes.
Angel hadn’t run far when he suddenly felt darkness in the sky, and then he heard Sanders shout: “Angel, be careful!”
Angel instinctively turned his head, and his eyes widened in shock.
He saw the spotted puppy open its mouth, and its head, which was originally about the size of his palm, suddenly grew hundreds of times larger. The dark mouth bit down at Angel—
Angel wanted to react, but it was too late.
His vision went dark, and he was swallowed whole by the puppy.
This scene was fully witnessed by Sanders. Although he was fighting the puppet woman, part of his attention was on Angel, especially when the puppy approached him. He was even more vigilant.
But the puppy seemed to be just as Angel said, a silly dog, running to Angel’s side just to be petted.
When Sanders slightly let down his guard, it seemed that Angel said something to the dog, then turned around and left. The puppy stayed in place for a while, then suddenly ran towards Angel. As it ran, its head inflated, and finally, like a celestial dog swallowing the sun, it swallowed Angel in one bite.
Moreover, its speed suddenly became extremely fast, not slower than Angel’s full-speed activation of Gravity Lines.
He wanted to warn him, but it was too late!
A raging fire ignited in Sanders’ eyes, and he dashed towards the puppy in a flash.
After swallowing Angel, the spotted puppy returned to its puppy-like state, then turned its head and barked innocently a few times. Seeing Sanders rushing over, it panicked and ran into the darkness with its limbs flailing.
The speed it displayed at this moment even surpassed the agility-specialized wizards of the bloodline side!
Sanders, while being entangled by the puppet woman, and having to chase it, was unable to keep up. Although the puppet woman’s strength was not strong, the golden thread was extremely strange, not much weaker than the white thread shot by Fox. And the speed of that dog far exceeded Sanders’ imagination. When he finally got rid of the puppet woman, the dog had already disappeared into the depths of darkness.
Coldness filled Sanders’ eyes, but he did not continue to chase the dog. Instead, he turned around and started fighting the puppet woman.
As they fought, he fiercely questioned the location of Foxx and the identity of the dog.
However, the puppet woman seemed to have no intention of answering and just kept saying “Watcher, don’t be stubborn.”
After a while, the puppet woman was turned into dust and wood chips, and the golden thread slowly retracted into the void.
“Chirping…” Strange sounds came from the void.
“Living Watchers are valuable resources, but it’s a pity that they are not used by the Queen and are ultimately burdensome.”
A sharp voice went straight into Sanders’ ears from the void.
Sanders: “Who are you? Yorkshire?”
Sanders hovered for a moment, seeing no response, and slowly landed.
As soon as he landed, Sanders immediately sensed the drop of blood left on Angel, and quickly looked towards the northwest.
According to his bloodline’s perception, the location of that drop of blood was in the northwest.
That was the center of the outer city and the place corresponding to the whirlpool in the sky.
Sanders had walked there before, but there was something strange about the center. When he went in, there was an impending sense of danger looming overhead. But now that the dog had swallowed Angel and ran there, he planned to explore the truth there.
With that thought, Sanders stepped on the ground with his boots and quickly rushed towards the central area.
Although he didn’t know Angel’s current situation, he left a warning function in that drop of blood. Once it was subjected to a high-energy attack, the energy in the drop of blood would automatically explode.
Since there was no movement in that drop of blood, Angel should be unharmed at the moment.
However, the dog had always been trying to please Angel, but why did it suddenly swallow Angel?
What puzzled Sanders was what the dog was about. Why was there no energy fluctuation in its body? Moreover, when viewed with the Eye of True Sight, it was definitely an ordinary dog. But whether it was the puppet woman blocking the attack, or its extraordinary speed and suddenly enlarged head, it was clear that there was something wrong with the dog.
If the person manipulating the golden threads in the void is the puppet master Yorkshire,
Then what is this dog?
Could it be that in addition to Yorkshire, other creatures from the Nightmare Plane have crawled out of the passage?
