The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 513

“Everyone, take her down. Grab hert

“Yes, sir.”

Thirty shadow quards from the Duke’s estate charged forward, attempting to surround Tina

But as they touched down in front of the thatched hut, a rustling sound suddenly came from all directions, and before the knew it, they were surrounded by swarms of insects.

Just as the leader of the shadow guards sensed something was wrong, a spider, the size of a palm, slowly descended on thread in front of him.

“Captain, be careful

The spider lunged at the leader, leaping onto his face and sinking its fangs into his flesh.

“Ambush! Retreat, quickly

Amid the leader’s screams, the shadow guards turned and started running, but it was already too late.

In the next moment, as the first light of dawn began to break, swarms of insects erupted from the trees, the grass, the sky everywhere.

The thirty shadow guards were overwhelmed and controlled by the venomous insects in mere moments.

Not only that, under the insects‘ control, the shadow guards were forced to turn their weapons on each other, helplessly watching as they aimed their knives at their own comrades,

The first blood spilled, and the scent of it drove the insects into a frenzy.

By the time the sun had barely begun to rise, the area in front of the hut was a scene of horrific, bloody slaughter.

The last one standing was the leader of the shadow guards.

With the spider still clinging to his head, he stiffly walked to the carriage, approaching Sophie.

He slowly raised his hand, and as the blade plunged into Sophie’s body, her eyes, which had somehow opened, locked anti his face.

fr the final moments of her life, she weakly managed to whisper, “Wh… was!

Then, her consciousness faded, and in the cold morning light, her body stiffened, her breath gone.

Only after confirming Sophie’s death did Tina take out a bamboo whistle, blowing it loudly. The venomous insects

immediately retreated from the bodies of the shadow guards and followed Tina up the mountain.

Not long after Tina left with the swarm of insects, a few more figures arrived at the foot of Mount Westin.

“Right here. This is where the tracking parasite found them.”

A group of mysterious figures dressed in black cloaks with hoods stood before them.

The man leading the group, with slightly curly hair, a curved blade in one hand and a parasite in the other, was none other than Gilbert.

Gilbert and his group quickly arrived in front of the thatched hut, and he pointed toward Sophie’s body next to the carriage.

“There. She’s there?

The mysterious figures turned to follow his finger and their faces immediately shifted, shocked beneath their hoods.

“Go, check it out.”

One of the figures kicked the dead shadow guard captain aside, and the shorter figure knelt to examine Sophie. After a moment, he shook his head.

“Rodrigo, we’re too late. She’s already dead.”

“What?” Rodrigo Gonzales slammed his staff into the ground. He lifted Sophie’s body, frowning as he examined her, his face darkening “She was killed recently. The murderer…

Rodrigo and the Soulbind Tribe members sat vigil by Sophie’s body, not eating or drinking, for three days and nights. Gilbert grew more and more hungry, though he had brought some dry rations with him.

On the fourth day, as he barely held on, a small movement stirred from the body on the ground. “Wh…”

Sophie’s body suddenly emitted a sound, as if trying to speak a word.

The Soulbind Tribe members immediately perked up, whispering, “Rodrigo, has the Sorceress awoken?” They were excited, but Gilbert was terrified, nearly jumping out of his skin.

The body spoke. Was this really happening? Could a dead body actually come back to life?

Rodrigo bent down to listen closely to the body, then nodded and ordered the parasites to withdraw.

As soon as the parasites pulled back, the voice from the body became clearer.

“Wh… why?”

“Why? Is she asking someone?” The Soulbind Tribe members were puzzled.

In the next moment, Sophie’s body, now barely recognizable, suddenly jerked upright with a guttural roar. “Why? Father. Why did you send people to track me? Why did you send people to kill me?

Her voice, filled with boundless hatred, echoed through the forest.

At that moment, in Mount Westin and Saint Grace Nunnery…

Eliza, sitting in the courtyard sipping her coffee, seemed to sense something. She lifted her eyelids slightly.

She glanced at the rising sun in the east, smiled, and sighed, “It’s been cold for so long. It should be warming up soon.”
