Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 18 18. The Petrified Cow

"Miss Green, you are finally here."

It was Katarina who interrupted the conversation between Emma and Ms. Pam. She should have danced happily, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead.She took out her handkerchief to wipe off her sweat with graceful movements.

"Don't stand around stupidly, go and dance."

"I'm not very familiar with Volta's dance steps..."

"It's okay, let Mei Li take you, she is very good at dancing."

Katarina beckoned, and Meryl and Karida walked over.

Just as she was about to lead Mei Li's hand into the dance floor, Kalida suddenly noticed Emma's shoes, which were a pair of humble sheepskin boots.

"You just wear this to dance? It's not suitable."

"Ah? I only have these shoes, so let's forget about it."

Emma has been trying to back off, but Catalina obviously won't give her the chance.

"Put on mine. Our feet are about the same size. I just need to rest for a while."

She said as she sat down and took off her shoes. They were a pair of delicate pink dancing shoes, decorated with silver patterns and dark gray lace. The heel was about six centimeters thick, and carved silver pieces were nailed on the bottom. It can make the steps crisp when dancing.

"I don't wear high heels..."

Emma tried to struggle one last time, but she reached out to take the shoe under Katarina's firm and enthusiastic gaze.

……

Meili's dance moves are indeed very extraordinary, and she is very good at motivating her partners.Under her guidance, Emma felt like she had become a master at it, spinning and flying on the dance floor.

In a passionate music segment, the "man" needs to lift the partner high, but Mei Li's arm strength is naturally not enough to complete this action, so she can only make a light gesture and rely on Emma to jump up by herself.

Emma charged ahead of time, leaped high, and landed.

With a sound of "click", Emma fell down ugly with a sharp pain from her right foot on the ground, very embarrassed.

"Miss Green!"

Katarina, who had been watching earnestly, stood up suddenly, without caring about her appearance, and quickly ran forward with bare feet to check.

Emma felt the pain spread from the innermost joint of her ankle, and her whole right leg was very painful.This twist probably wasn't light, she was judging secretly.

"How are you?"

Emma didn't have time to answer, she was thinking about what was going on with that "click", probably not the sound of broken bones.She looked down, took off her shoe, and found that the heel was actually broken.It didn't break from the connection, but there was a deep cut near the root, and it was completely disconnected after being overwhelmed by the force.

Emma sighed, knowing everything.She looked into Katarina's eyes.

"I said...Miss Catalina Stewart, even if you don't like me as a country girl, you don't need to trick me, do you?"

"you……"

Katarina's eyes widened.

"Forget it, thank you for inviting me to the dance party. But in the future, I will not participate in such activities where you and the noble senior sisters socialize."

After finishing speaking, Emma gently took off the other shoe and put it neatly in front of her.Then get up hard.

With all eyes on her, she managed to control her pace, limped over to the chair and put on her shoes.

"Do you need me to take you back?" Ms. Pang asked.

"No, it's nothing serious, I can do it. The dance is not over yet, let them continue."

……

Very angry, really angry.

I thought Katarina was really kind enough to invite her, but it turned out to be such an inexplicable and childish way.Can seeing her fall make her happy?

Emma was so angry all the way, that she could hardly feel the pain in her feet.childish!So childish!This is a school of magic, not a social arena for their noble ladies to fight each other!
Don't tell Hayward about this matter, she will definitely fight for herself, and it will be even more uneconomical if she is caused to violate the school rules.

Because she was too emotional, when she came back to her senses, Emma saw a strange corridor in front of her.

Oops... where is this?This corridor has no windows, and is lit by torches on the wall, which is rare in the castle, because usually the lighting is made by magic balls of light.

Could it be that he chose a wrong fork in the road, or went down an extra floor to the basement?
The castle has a basement. It is said that there are kitchens, cooks, and servants' rooms. In short, apprentices will never have the opportunity to go there.However, before Emma came to this corridor, she had no impression of passing by a similar facility.

Tried to go back, but to no avail.That dark corridor seemed to be endless. When I finally saw a corner, there was another long corridor after turning the corner.

The severe pain from her right ankle gradually turned into an indescribable sense of despair, which made Emma start to panic in the dark.

"Hello, is anyone there?"

She tried calling, asking for help, but only heard an echo.What can be done?It's not just about holding on to the wall and limping forward.

While walking, while continuing to try to call for help, Emma was amazed how the maze-like corridors could be so long?She knew that the castle was huge, but there shouldn't be such a big space.

What was even more frightening was that after a certain call, she heard something other than the echo.

It was a heavy snorting sound.

It is definitely not a human being who makes this sound.Emma shut her mouth quickly and looked nervously at the direction from which the voice came.

As the snort became heavier, the sound of footsteps became clearer.

It's some kind of beast.

Emma stepped back carefully until she reached the corner wall, stuck to the wall and continued to stare in that direction.

Finally, a bulky bull's head emerged from the corner on the other side of the corridor.At least at first glance it looked like a bull, just a bit bigger.It moved slowly, and it seemed that it was difficult to even raise its head, and its head was lowered to the ground.The mane on the neck is thick, and the body is covered with scales, shining under the light of the torch.

Oops...it's a petrified cow!Emma ran away in a hurry.This kind of monster just learned in the elective course, it has a pair of slender, bloodshot red eyes, and can petrify the living things that meet its line of sight.Even if you don't look at it, because it feeds on poisonous plants for many years, its breath is also highly poisonous.

Although the Petrified Cow's movement is slow, it is usually considered not very harmful, but Emma's own speed is not fast now, okay?
Why do monsters appear in the castle?Emma roared the question in her head.Shouldn't college be a safer place than home for apprentices?

"Help! Help!"

Emma screamed for help, but the voice first made the petrified bull go berserk.Its footsteps accelerated significantly.Although it was not fast enough to catch up with the running speed of normal people, there was no problem surpassing the current Emma.

It's over!It's over!This is what Emma has been most afraid of since she was born, and she is even more afraid than the time of drowning during the entrance examination.Deep despair had eaten away at her heart, causing her to tremble involuntarily.

correct!Wand, where's the wand?Emma fumbled desperately, but the wand was lying quietly on the bedside table in the bedroom at this time, where she had left it there when she was writing a letter.

Emma recalled several offensive spells, chanted the spell, and attacked the petrified cow.However, unarmed casting is not very smooth, and the armor-like scales block all damage.That was originally a magic material that could be used to make armor.

Then, she tried to use the Water Arrow Curse and the Water Polo Curse, but they were all limp and powerless, not as powerful as the moves just now.

Finally, she tried to chant the earth magic spell to create obstacles on the ground and walls.However, under the crushing pressure of the petrified cow's bulky body, those small dirt bags instantly turned into powder.

It's over!It's over!dying!
