Chapter 378: Embrace of the Demonic Snake: Sheds Skin and Reshapes
Uzeris, a port city in the North near the Sea of Conquerors.
Although this city is not as bustling and bustling as Nashrame, it also does not have the unique geographical location and long cultural history of Bergün.
However, Uzeris's importance is far higher than them.
All this is because of the Du Kecao family's mansion located in the center of the city.
It represents not only the symbol of the Du Cacao family, but also the core of the power of the Noxus Empire in Shurima.
Even though General Du Cacault has disappeared for a long time, no one has violated the will of the Du Cacault family.
Under the dim night, bright yellow candles lit up in the mansion, embellishing the cold environment.
Soleana walked along the corridor, her dignified and beautiful face showing a trace of anxiety, and her fingers subconsciously picked up her skirt.
As the only wife of General Du Cacault, it was difficult for Soleanna to be upset by anything.
Even if it was her husband's betrayal and recognition of Swain's legal status, she had never been so anxious.
Boom! Boom!
Soleanna came to the depths of the mansion and in front of a gorgeous house. After hesitating for a while, she knocked on the door.
"Cassiopeia, it's me!"
When she heard that there was no movement in the house, her eyes darkened slightly and she continued to speak.
"Are you okay?"
During the recent period, Cassiopeia has been locking herself in the room and not allowing anyone to enter.
Even she is no exception.
The change in Cassiopeia happened after she returned from exploring the lost tomb of the mysterious Ascended One.
Soleana looked at the still silent house with a look of helplessness and anger.
In order to gain extraordinary power, Cassiopeia was almost obsessed with digging ancient tombs in Shurima.
Not long ago, Cassiopeia accidentally found a lost ancient tomb. Through the information inside the black rose, she suspected that it belonged to a mysterious ascended person.
Cassiopeia felt that she could not excavate the ancient tomb with her own strength, so she asked Catalina, who came to Shurima to perform a mission, and hired a local guide.
As for the final result, Soleana is not sure.
But Caterina disappeared unexpectedly, and Cassiopeia even locked herself in the house.
"Mother, I'm fine."
In the silent room, Cassiopeia's voice sounded hoarse and weak.
“You should go back to bed early.”
“You don’t have to be too stressed. With our status, even if we can’t compete with Catalina, our lives are not in danger.”
Soleanna sighed secretly as she thought about what was happening in the capital of Noxus.
Katarina's talent is too good.
Black Rose’s internal evaluation of her is also very good.
Soleana looked at the room that was once again quiet and left slowly.
In a sleepy room.
The weak candlelight swayed, dispersing the surrounding darkness. Dots of light danced on the ground, reflecting pieces of broken glass.
Cassiopeia struggled to get up from the ground, holding up her shaky body with trembling arms.
Every slight movement was accompanied by unbearable pain, like a cold steel knife cutting her nerves.
She looked down at her lower body, where there were no longer human legs, but a winding snake body, with its fine scales reflecting a cold sheen.
The scales covering the body are both a symbol of her transformation and a mark of her pain and struggle.
"Snake Tail. No, not me!"
Cassiopeia couldn't believe it, her eyes were full of confusion and pain, and she was sad for the life she had lost.
The once smart, beautiful, cunning and wise daughter of Soleana do Cuccao no longer exists, replaced by a strange-looking creature.
She endured severe pain, swung her scaly snake tail, crawled towards the bronze mirror, and stared at herself in the mirror, her face extremely ugly.
"Why? Why!"
Casiopeia silently questioned her fate, and her eyes like poisonous snakes could no longer shed any tears.
Over the past few weeks, she had dragged herself up from the depths of despair.
This was not the ascension she expected, but the illusion in her heart was broken by herself in the bronze mirror.
"Extraordinary power.!"
Cassiopeia felt the extraordinary power surging in her body, and a dim green light lit up in her eyes.
This is the strength she gained in the Lost Tomb, and it is also the source of her comfort.
Wow! Wow!
The scaly snake's tail swept across the broken glass on the ground, reflecting a poignant light under the dim light and shadow.
Cassiopeia is determined to accept her fate and her snake-like body.
Because the current life is at least much better than the missing Catalina.
"Don't let anyone find your location. That lovely and brave guide was poisoned by me and will die soon."
Cassiopeia's eyes were cold, as if she had thought of something, she looked at Uzeris under the night, and quietly escaped into the darkness.
“As long as we get rid of you now, no one will know that I have contacted Catalina.”
Uzeris in the middle of the night, the outline of the city appears under the faint gaze Especially quiet.
On the flat streets, except for the occasional howling wind and the drunken noise of Noxian soldiers in the distance, there were almost no other sounds.
As the sun disk rose again on the northern land of Shurima, Noxian soldiers once again experienced the baptism of war, frequently annihilating the returning rebels.
But in between battles, Noxian soldiers also need to relieve their inner stress and fatigue.
Alcohol and food have become their best choices.
Cassiopeia left the mansion and walked along the jagged undulating roofs, overlooking the winding alleys and crowded streets of Uzeris.
She didn't care at all about the coldness of the night in the oasis. She just wore a gauze and thin silk shirt, revealing the transitional junction of her waist, where her delicate skin turned into curved and layered snakeskin scales. .
Until she stopped in front of a simple tavern.
The lights of the tavern were swaying in the night, and the smell of barbecue and alcohol slowly penetrated Cassiopeia's nose.
But these smells could not cover up the scent of the soldiers of the Reiser Guard Corps in the tavern. "Just you."
Cassiopeia's eyes were cold, and a strong desire to hunt suddenly emerged in her heart.
The venom and saliva mixed together, creating a burning pungency in her mouth.
She contracted the thick muscles of her tail and twisted the stone sculpture into pieces. The gravel rolled down and fell onto the street.
"Is this feeling the change brought about by transforming into the body of a poisonous snake?"
The gravel fell, and the dull sound frightened more than a dozen sets of giant rats, and they fled in all directions.
Unkempt street urchins ran from corner to corner, faces in the shadows of hoods whispering, and now and then a soldier stumbled out of the tavern.
Everything that happened before her eyes was clearly seen by Cassiopeia, who was lurking in the darkness.
Cassiopeia rubbed her eagle-like hands on the scales of her lower body, the shadow hiding her snake body.
She was waiting, waiting for the soldiers from the Reiser Guard Corps to come out.
Generally speaking, the Reiser Guard Corps is an ace corps, and the ordinary soldiers in it are at least officers.
It’s hard to come to this humble tavern.
But there is something special about this pub, which provides erotic services to its guests.
Crunch!
The wooden door of the tavern opened, and a broad-shouldered soldier from the Leiser Guard Corps staggered out.
Wearing purple leather armor and holding a wine bottle in his hand, he looked refreshed.
Casiopeia followed him silently on the rooftops, passing through the streets and alleys silently, until finally he entered an empty gymnasium.
Absolutely perfect!
She slid onto the adjacent roof, her eyes lighting up with the urge to hunt.
“No, wait a little longer to see if other prey appears.”
Cassiopeia’s tail trembled excitedly, sticking out her forked tongue, tasting surrounding air.
She received news that three groups of Leather Guard investigators had come to Shurima to investigate Katarina's disappearance.
Affected by this, the person in charge of the Reese Guard Secretariat in Uzeris was a little scared.
He secretly dispersed his men, intending to turn to Swain again and seek benefits.
Suddenly, her eyes trembled.
The soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps in the courtyard held their breath and quietly slipped away, preparing to find other escape routes.
"Huh? Are you aware of my tracking?"
Casiopeia took a breath, inhaled the blood breath of the soldiers of the Reiser Guard Corps into her lungs, and revealed A look of satisfaction.
"Forget it, capture him first, and then interrogate the whereabouts of the others."
Dragging her snake-shaped body, she slipped from the roof and hid in the shadows.
Clang!
Hearing the noise coming from behind, the soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps immediately drew their swords.
He turned around, but didn't know which direction to turn to meet his threat.
"Damn it, I'm an officer of the Leiser Garrison. Who are you? Do you know what you are doing?"
The cold night wind blew by, and no one answered his question.
The soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps swallowed, a trace of panic creeping onto their faces.
He had to wave the steel sword in his hand, trying to dispel the fear in his heart.
“Don’t fight me in the shadows, show up quickly!”
"As you wish!"
Cassiopeia chuckled, seeing that the time was almost up, and walked out of the shadows.
In the courtyard, she stood up and showed herself, ready to receive praise.
“Monster!”
The soldiers of the Leiser Guard Corps looked at the woman with half human body and half snake body in front of them, dumbfounded and in a hurry.
"Monster?!"
After Cassiopeia's transformation, her body was higher than the head of her prey, and she looked down with an angry look, revealing her fierce look.
"Do you also think I'm a freak?"
She slid to the left, swung her tail and swept towards the lower body of the soldier of the Reiser Guard Corps, knocking him over easily. On the ground.
Then, she wrapped her giant tail around the chest of the soldier from the Reiser Guard Corps, tightening his ribs tighter and tighter, feeling the heart struggling under the squeeze.
Click!
Cassiopeia heard the sound of bones breaking, but she suppressed her inner impulse and did not completely kill the soldiers of the Reiser Guard Corps.
She loosened the snake's tail slightly, admiring the fear and trembling of the prey.
"I, I, know your face."
The soldier of the Leiser Guard Corps looked at the charming face in front of him and spoke in a trembling voice.
"You are Miss Cassiopeia!"
"Haha. Haha, it was you who made Miss Catalina disappear!"
Hearing this, Cassiopeia's eyes widened. A flash of coldness flashed inside, revealing the waxy fangs hanging with mucus.
“How much more do you know?”
“Uh!”
The soldiers of the Reese Guard Corps looked at Cassiopeia as if they were imprisoned in a prison.
"If an investigator comes, His Majesty Swain will never let you go."
"I will wait for you below."
