BXBX NOVEL Chapter 109
Chapter 109: Calamity
While everyone did their best to continue their lives in the Deathwill Castle, the calamity crept toward them.
A mist oozed out silently from a particular forest where the black wolves resided. That mist seemed like nothing dangerous, and no wolf found it suspicious. It was as if the weather just simply changed.
But that mist had a target, The Deathwill Castle.
The person behind the mist was so skilled that no one noticed the impending calamity. Of course, in defense of everyone in the Deathwill Castle, that mist had no offensive purpose yet.
“Ubo! Where are you going?” Celia asked her best friend about his weird movement.
Her first wolf friend moved as if he was entranced by something. He didn’t react to Celia’s inquiry, continuing to move forward.
He was on his way toward the mist.
And when he stared at the unfamiliar dense form, Ubo’s eyes flashed with golden color. A golden scar appeared on his forehead, putting his consciousness into a deep sleep. In his place, Wolfen Demon’s consciousness dwell.
Celia couldn’t see through anything. She titled her head and asked her best friend again.
Alas, Ubo was no longer here.
As Wolfen Demon, in Ubo’s body, turned around, he immediately pounced at Celia. Using the hidden strength within the small wolf’s body, Wolfen Demon grasped Celia’s clothes with his fangs, then jumped off from the Deathwill Castle’s walls!
Celia landed on the ground together with him.
“Ubo! We can’t leave the castle!” Celia cried despite feeling immense pain throughout her body.
She just fell onto a high wall, after all.
Her friend ignored her words. He once again used his abnormal strength, dragging Celia away from the castle.
Celia shouted, “Ubo! Stop! It hurts!”
To her pleas, Wolfen Demon remained silent. He continued pulling her toward his den.
At last, Celia cried and shouted toward her mother and… Alex, “Mom! Alex!”
No one replied.
Everyone was engrossed in their duties, failing to notice that the little wolf’s heart had been stolen by Wolfen Demon.

Although Sara had a useful minimap feature that not many NPCs had access to, she couldn’t have her eyes on it for twenty-four hours.
She regularly checked it, though.
“Celia? Celia?!” Sara suddenly shouted, startling everyone around her.
After teaching Olivia enough basics, Sara peeked at her map casually. She believed her daughter wouldn’t be stupid enough to leave the castle, so she just regularly checked just in case.
Besides, Celia wasn’t brave enough to jump off the tall walls.
In fact, Sara had more dots on her minimap than before. Other than Celia and Alex, Sara also could see her two sisters as their relationship had grown into genuine sisterly bonds.
Sara could also distinguish who was on the minimap, so when she couldn’t see her daughter’s whereabouts, Sara’s heart jumped to her throat.
She opened the system, clicking on the minimap.
Then, she spread the map as far as possible to find her daughter’s location.
“Sara. What’s happening?” Alex came closer; his heart was thumping louder as he felt like it was the prelude to the calamity.
Everyone else tensed too.
Schnee and Stella had also arrived as Sara’s voice swept through the whole castle.
“Celia is not here! She is in the Wolfen Demon’s forest! And in a location, we have never been to!” Sara notified everyone before equipping her black armor set.
She then rushed out of the castle.
From behind her, everyone naturally followed Sara. No one dared to stop her with unnecessary talk. No one found her reaction weird too.
Most mothers would jump into fire for their little ones, wouldn’t they?
“Wolfen Demon… Is he the one behind the calamity?” Alex asked, then looked around, “That thick mist… Perhaps…”
The Dullahans were behind it…
Alex couldn’t voice it out since that would mean their calamity was more serious than ever. That race was nothing to be trifled with.
They were one of the races behind the Darkmana Empire Alliance. Even if some of their forces got their level reset, they were still powerful and scary enemies.
Moreover, Alex and others were still around level thirty-five…
As Alex could infer it, so the others could. And as Sara moved through the mist, her face paled, and she started sweating profusely.
That mist reeked off the royalty mana!
At last, Sara found the Wolfen Demon’s den. She went through that cave without caring about her well-being, closely following the minimap.
As the vast cave enough to hold the castle spread before her, Sara’s eyes widened as she found the familiar figures.
At the helm was Wolfen Demon. He was like the scapegoat, though.
Behind him, the headless man stood. He donned himself black armor, similar to Sara’s equipment. He had a dark red cape with a black helmet on it, which was the sign of the royal household.
Behind that man, Sara saw a face she never wanted to see again. Her former husband, Henred.
And sitting far away from them was a woman with blond bangs and a cold face. Her beauty was close to Sara and even closer to the sculpture after Sara’s mother. She had a black battle dress covering all her curves, compelling people to gaze at her cold and beautiful face.
Naturally, Celia was in the middle. She was in a little cage together with Ubo.
“Mom! Alex!” Celia shouted.
The headless man let out a chuckle, “So this is Alex who has beaten the ghoul. Haha!”
Celia glanced at the headless man. Although her little heart was cold and scared of him, Celia remembered Alex’s words.
She shouted at him, “Gangster! Alex will beat you! Don’t laugh at him!” Then, Celia grasped the cage’s bars and closed her eyes. She couldn’t further look at the existence such as that headless man.
Tears flowed down her cheeks.
But Celia felt like she did the right job. Her words should support Alex, Sara, and others!
Sara clenched her spear, “You’ve become so much stronger, Celia.” She was so proud of being her mother!
Then, Sara locked her eyes on the headless man, utterly ignoring her former husband, “What do you want, third prince?”
