I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 322
Chapter 161.2
He quickly bit his finger to draw blood and used it to sketch a magic circle on his body.
The spell would temporarily allow him to see the demon, something he had successfully relied on during his battle with Dimitri. Because it was a price-bound spell, it demanded both blood and a magic circle, draining more mana than expected. Yet, the time it granted him to see demons was frustratingly brief.
For that reason, most people opted to use lamb’s blood to force demons into visibility rather than relying on this method.
But right now, he didn’t need much time.
“Who do you think you are, causing chaos in someone else’s territory? Get lost!”
Sasha, a young cat shapeshifter with snowy-white hair and piercing blue feline eyes, shouted angrily. Her small stature did little to diminish the fierce intensity in her gaze.
He could now distinctly see the demon Sasha was mounted on.
The creature had the powerful build of a lion, but its tail was that of a venomous scorpion.
“You’ve got yourself a decent demon there, kid.”
“I’m not a kid!”
The deadly, spiked tail of the scorpion lashed downward, aiming to impale Herman.
“Whoa, that was dangerous.”
Herman evaded the strike by a hair’s breadth.
“That’s an impressive demon. Quite the dangerous one.”
He let out a faint smirk, impressed.
“What’s that look for?”
Sasha furrowed her brows at his sinister grin.
“Crush that guy, Abaddon!”
The moment Sasha gave the order, Abaddon lunged at Herman with frightening swiftness. If one of those giant claws struck him, or worse, if those powerful jaws locked onto him, he wouldn’t survive.
“Whoops, that was close.”
He skillfully evaded each strike by a hair’s breadth, further aggravating Sasha.
Her demon was undeniably powerful, and Sasha was fast, but instead of anticipating Herman’s movements, they relied more on brute-force attacks. It didn’t take long for Herman to notice that, despite their raw power, Sasha lacked true combat proficiency.
“Argh! This is so frustrating!”
As her frustration mounted, the demon’s attacks became increasingly reckless and unfocused. The knights knew that the best way to fight a mage was to close the distance, but with Sasha’s demon in the way, getting near Herman was impossible.
“Sasha! Pull back and get into formation!”
The knight commander barked the order.
As they scrambled to evade the chaos caused by the invisible demon, the knights were forced further away from Herman. The battle was gradually shifting into a direct face-off between Herman and Sasha.
“Sasha!”
The knight commander attempted to rein in Sasha’s excitement, but her full attention was locked onto Herman, who moved like elusive prey, always just beyond her grasp.
“I’ve got this! I can take him down!”
It was like watching a cat fixate on a pesky flying insect, completely enthralled.
“Damn it! Come here! I said, get over here!”
A triumphant smirk spread across Herman’s face. The real reason he had come here today wasn’t to harm Dimitri’s precious treasure. It was Sasha, not Rowaine, who had caught his attention.
After steadily maintaining his distance and evading attacks, he suddenly sprang toward Sasha.
“Wh-What the—?”
Caught off guard, Sasha instinctively pulled back, unknowingly stepping right into Herman’s attack range, exactly as he had predicted.
“Ugh!“
She was caught in his spell and sent flying off the demon’s back. In midair, she swiftly shifted into a landing stance. However, before Sasha could reach the ground, Herman caught her mid-air.
“….!”
“Gotcha.”
“Let go of me—ugh!”
With a satisfied smirk, he quickly struck the back of Sasha’s neck, rendering her unconscious. The knight commander charged at Herman, but before he could reach him, Herman vanished in a flash, Sasha’s unconscious body slung over his shoulder.
“Sasha!”
Sasha had been taken by Herman.
It was something no one had seen coming.

“Madam Rowaine!”
While hiding deep within the mansion with Avila, I immediately sensed something was wrong the moment the knight commander rushed in with a tense expression.
“What happened?”
“Count Heres has taken Sasha and disappeared!”
“…What?”
A wave of dizziness washed over me.
My heartbeat thundered in my chest, and my hands shook uncontrollably.
“What…did you just say?”
“Madam Rowaine!”
As I swayed unsteadily, Avila quickly caught me.
“We’ve sent the knights to search for them. I’m sorry.”
With an expression of guilt, the knight commander bowed his head to me.
“Please tell me the full details… tell me everything that happened.”
I sank heavily into a chair.
At the same time, Herman’s ominous smirk from earlier flashed through my mind.
‘What on earth is he planning?’
It felt as though my entire world was falling apart.
