It’S A Cat, Adopted By A Wolf Family? [EN]: Chapter 121

Swish—!

Kitty used her tail to grab Gridwolf’s bow and threw it to Sigma.

“Sigma, you were looking for the sacred relic, right?”

“……!”

Sigma tried to avoid the incoming bow, but she wasn’t prepared for it, and her body was frozen, so her reaction was slow.

The moment the bow struck Sigma’s ankle.

Thud!

Sigma was crushed by the weight of the bow and fell to the floor instantly.

It was a heavy sacred relic that no one other than Kitty could even lift from the floor in the first place, so it was only natural.

Kitty carefully climbed down the tree, making sure not to slip. The snowball she had been carefully holding for deception had already melted in her arms.

‘To be fooled by a snowball infused with magic. Sigma must have been desperate.’

The nape of her neck stung a little where Sigma had attacked, but it was better than falling from a tall tree.

‘That thud was pretty loud.’

It was about the height of the third floor of the mansion, so even if she landed well, she would have suffered considerable injuries.

She wouldn’t have been able to perform a free-fall landing properly because of the bow, so it was certain that she had seriously injured her head or torso.

‘Even if she had landed well by some stroke of luck, the wolves stationed below wouldn’t have left her alone.’

The fact that Theo, Deon, and Ethan were searching in a different direction from Kitty was just a ruse to lure Sigma out.

The scent of panther blood mixed in with the blowing wind made it seem like things were going well in the desired direction.

‘It’s a little scary.’

Kitty slowly climbed down to avoid seeing the gruesome scene as much as possible.

Meanwhile, the wolves standing on the ground rushed in as if they had been waiting for Sigma to fall.

“Kuh-heok!”

Sigma spat out blood from her mouth due to the impact of her body hitting the ground.

Thanks to gathering all her magic to protect herself, her head was fine, but the rest of her body was shattered and her muscles were torn.

Theo and Deon silently took out daggers from their pockets. Katrina was shocked as she looked at the faces of the Gridwolf brothers.

‘Their expressions are so different from when they look at Kitty…’

The golden eyes that shone as if they were facing the most lovely and radiant thing in the world when they looked at Kitty were now as dark as rusty copper.

“I suspected it, but she really tried to attack Kitty.”

“We have to make sure she never touches our Malrangson [term of endearment for Kitty] again.”

The two severed Sigma’s ankle tendons with clean movements.

“Kuh-heuk!”

The panthers flinched at her screams, but there was no way to save her because the wolf knights were everywhere.

Theo and Deon continued speaking with emotionless faces.

“And this is……”

“For our Diel, who died at birth because you interfered with her delivery.”

Stab—

“Agh!”

Sigma twisted her body and screamed. Theo and Deon, unconcerned, severed Sigma’s wrist tendons this time.

Most magic is activated by flicking fingers or delicately controlled by moving fingertips, so it will be difficult to use delicate magic afterward.

Katrina watched Theo and Deon coldly looking down at Sigma, who was writhing in pain, and held back her words.

‘I thought it was strange that the Gridwolf heirs seemed so gentle.’

It seemed that was just for their youngest sister, who fluttered her fur.

“Subdue all the panthers without missing a single one.”

“You can kill them if capturing them is difficult.”

While Theo and Deon were giving orders in cold voices, Ethan couldn’t take his eyes off the tree Kitty had climbed.

Soon, Kitty crawled down. Only then did Ethan’s hardened face relax.

“Kitty. I’ll catch you, so jump back.”

“Ah, thank you.”

Kitty, who was already aching in her arms and legs, jumped back.

Ethan, who caught her with ease, was carefully checking to see if she was injured.

“Hoo……. Annoying wolf bastards.”

Sigma said in a voice hoarse from screaming. Then she started laughing like a different person.

Every time she laughed, blood gushed from her limbs.

“It seems you’ve cut my tendons to prevent me from using magic, but what a pity.”

Somewhere, heavy footsteps were heard, thump, thump. It wasn’t just one or two making those fast, heavy footsteps.

Ethan frowned as he turned his gaze toward the sound.

“Damn it, the bear shifters have gone crazy.”

There was a group of bear shifters holding scythes, plows, and hammers. All of them were affected by the madness of the Blue Moon, their eyes were blurry and their whites were bloodshot.

“I used magic in advance in case I was attacked.”

Sigma giggled like a child. Theo and Deon nervously asked, pressing down on her arms.

“Did you use a mock Blue Moon on the bear shifters in the village?”

“It’s no fun dying alone, right? I don’t want to be bored even after death.”

Even though she didn’t move her fingertips, the mock Blue Moon in her pocket began to emit a blue light.

‘The bear shifters exposed to the magic of the mock Blue Moon are approaching, so it must be resonating.’

Even the other panther shifters, who hadn’t gone mad thanks to the sacred energy emanating from the back of her hand, were gradually losing their minds.

‘Sigma was okay because her magic is high, but at this rate……!’

Kitty quickly took the mock Blue Moon out of Sigma’s pocket and smashed it with Gridwolf’s bow.

Sigma, already in tatters, couldn’t move even after the bow that was pressing down on her disappeared.

The magic of the mock Blue Moon that Sigma had was gone, but there was still a terrifying amount left on the bear shifters’ side.

‘Did they secretly put the mock Blue Moon in the bear shifters’ clothes?’

I didn’t know what kind of groundwork had been laid, but one thing was certain.

Sigma had crossed the line again this time.

Kitty clenched her fist tightly and asked for help.

“Brothers, move Sigma and the captured panthers to one side and defend them!”

“What about you?”

“I have to save the bear shifters who are trapped in madness!”

The bear shifters who came close fearlessly attacked the panthers who had disturbed the shifter society.

The wolf knights, who were suddenly in the bear’s territory, were also targets of their attack.

“The bear shifters are out of their minds with madness!”

Katrina said in a desperate voice. Kitty nodded and created arrows.

It was fortunate that many of the wolf knights had been stabbed by Kitty’s arrows and shared the goddess’s blessing before departure.

‘Don’t be relieved. The energy of the mock Blue Moon is getting stronger and stronger. It seems to be related to the pattern on the back of my hand…….’

There was no time to dig into the secrets one by one right now.

Swish!

The bear shifters, who were much larger than the wolf knights even in human form, swung their weapons recklessly.

The wolf knights, who were trying to stun them for a while, hesitated and couldn’t approach easily.

“The bear shifters are too violent.”

“If we subdue them carelessly, they will be seriously injured.”

If the story spread that a bear shifter was injured by the wolf knights, the alliance would be in jeopardy.

We had to prevent that from happening.

Kitty aimed the arrow at the bear shifters. But it was difficult to find the timing to shoot the arrow because they were rushing in, swinging their arms wildly.

‘I can’t waste arrows, so I have to be careful.’

If I could only create a lot of arrows in a short amount of time, I could save the bear shifters who had unknowingly turned into monsters.

Kitty bit her lip and shot the arrow.

“Ugh!”

The bear shifter who was hit by the arrow in the chest collapsed. Kitty quickly shouted to Katrina.

“Katrina, my arrows have no physical attack power. Don’t worry, they just drive out the madness of the Blue Moon.”

Katrina, who had turned pale because Kitty shot an arrow at her own kind, nodded.

“Okay. I’ll trust Kitty’s words.”

“Please calm the bear shifters down as much as possible.”

“Ha…… It would be nice if the sacred relic appeared at times like this.”

Katrina muttered like a sigh and began to exert her magic to calm the bear shifters.

Her face contorted as she squeezed out her meager magic.

Ethan, with the same expressionless face as usual, stunned a bear shifter who was twice his size.

The huge man, struck in the back of the neck by his hand blade, fell to the floor with a thud.

Ethan took a breath to subdue another bear shifter and said.

“Kitty, don’t overdo it and just focus on driving out the madness. The game is over the moment you fall.”

His blue eyes were filled with trust for Kitty. Theo and Deon didn’t stick close to Kitty’s side to guard her, like when they went to see the shopping district when they were young.

‘Everyone…… trusts me.’

The chaotic mind was calmed at once by the bear shifters who had gone mad from the madness of the mock Blue Moon.

Malrang—

Kitty injected magic into the bear shifters’ bodies and made arrows of light with one hand.

“Ethan, leave it to me to purify the madness.”

When she said it bravely, he chuckled and gripped his sword again. At that moment, the blade reflected her appearance like a mirror.

‘Wait.’

The characteristic of a mirror is to reflect.

And reflecting something wasn’t something only a mirror could do.

At this moment, a conversation came to mind.

“What are the capabilities of Polly’s Mirror?”

“I think it has something to do with the characteristics of the mirror.”

‘I still don’t know what kind of characteristics Polly’s Mirror has. But……’ Kitty looked down at the floor where she was kneeling. The surface of the frozen lake was so smooth that her face was reflected.

‘Katrina’s magic reacted from the moment I entered the lake. The previous head of the Polly family was said to have touched Lake Aurora with a bear’s paw.’

If so.

“Kitty?”

Katrina, who was calming the bear shifters, paused as she watched Kitty suddenly aim an arrow at the floor.

It was clearly an abnormal behavior.

However, looking at her emerald eyes filled with conviction, she didn’t think she was acting like that because she was trapped in madness.

“I think I know what Polly’s Mirror is.”

Kitty shot an arrow of light at the surface of the lake. The moment the arrowhead touched the smooth ice sheet.

“……!”

A clear light emanated from the surface of the lake.
