Chapter 2142 The Poisonous Betrayal

“Heh, perfect timing!”

When Quintus saw Anna, he was beyond excited and exhilarated.

Magnus had already given his orders–ensure that Ann safely emerged with the antidote. Then, they were. to strike at the cultists of the Serpent Lair with everything they had, slaughtering them mercilessly until they were so terrified they would tremble at the mere sound of their name.

“Kill them! Kill them all! Make them beg for mercy on their knees!”

Quintus suddenly pivoted, aiming his weapon in a new direction.

The battle–hardened Wolf Warrior Unit, who had been feigning retreat, turned back with ruthless precision. There was no sign of weakness; instead, the air was filled with the deafening roar of gunfire, as the cultists of the Five Poison Sect were mowed down in an instant, their ranks crumbling under the onslaught,

Not only that, but the squad wore protective gas masks and had brought along military–grade blowers, specifically to defend against any poison gas the Five Poison Sect might release.

Dmn it! We’ve been tricked!”

The Azure Grand Protector seethed, his teeth clenched in fury. Watching his subordinates fall one after another, a sense of bitterness washed over him..

“Grand Protector, we can’t hold an much longer!”

“What weapons do we even have?“one of his subordinates cried out. “What are they using? We’re walking straight into our graves!”

“We’re idiots! We should have stayed inside, but instead, we chose to rush out and die!”

The complaints and cries of his men only fueled the Azure Grand Protector’s anger.

He knew they were doomed to fail, but the shame of not killing a single enemy–now that was something that would haunt him for the rest of his life. He would be ridiculed endlessly.

At that moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Anna, who was racing toward the Wolf Warrior Unit, with Lydia by her side.

“D’mmit! It’s that woman! She infiltrated our ranks, caused internal strife, and stole the antidote. Kill her! I’ll take out my frustration on her!”

The Azure Grand Protector barked the order, and without hesitation, he charged toward Anna, determined to end her life.

Anna clutched the precious antidote to her chest, trying to pull Lydia away to safety.

But Lydia, a mere ordinary woman, had already been ravaged by exhaustion. She stumbled and fell to the ground with a cry as soon as Anna tried to drag her.

“D“mn it, I’ll kill you first! You’re the one colluding with them, aren’t you?”

The Azure Grand Protector raised his hand and struck Lydia,

Despite Anna’s desperate kick that sent him sprawling, the Grand Protector retaliated by spitting at Venomous stream toward Lydia’s face.

“Ah–T

Lydia screamed in agony.

“Lydial”

Anna hurried to crouch beside her, her voice trembling

No one had anticipated what happened next. As if powered by some unseen force, Lydia managed to summon a burst of strength, sitting up as though brought back from the brink of death, and used her body to shield Anna, taking the venom meant for her.

“Lydia! Lydial

Anna’s heart was in turmoil, overwhelmed by emotions. How had this woman–this fragile, ordinary woman–chosen to save her like this?

“Azure Protector, don’t get cocky!

Thankfully, Quintus arrived just in time, intercepting the Azure Grand Protector with a powerful strike, keeping him from taking another shot at Anna.

The Azure Grand Protector had nearly lost his entire arm, but he grinned wickedly as he threw himself back. From his sleeve, a venomous snake suddenly slithered out and sank its fangs into Quintus arm

“Haha…

Though the Azure Grand Protector had lost a limb, he hopped back with a malicious laugh. I might not be able to defeat you, but taking down your leader is a win! This was worth it–what a jackpot!”

The nearby disciples of the Five Poison Sect watched in astonishment, their eyes wide with disbeli had failed to kill even a mere soldier, yet their Grand Protector had just taken out the opposing commander.

Indeed, they all believed that once bitten by the venomous snake released by the Grand Protector, survival was impossible. The poison would spread within seconds, and death would come swiftly, without mercy.

But to their shock, Quintus casually ripped the snake from his arm and tore it in half with a sneer. “What the hell? We’re fighting, not dealing with bugs. That was just a bit itchy!

The onlookers were frozen, their eyes wide in horror. Was this man truly unaffected by the poison? A snake as deadly as that had been nothing more than a armless bug to him?

“Come on, come at me again!” Quintus waved his hand dismissively at the Azure Grand Protector.

“D’mmit, what kind of monster is this?” the Azure Grand Protector thought, his heart seizing with dread. He turned and fled, no longer daring to face Quintus in combat.

Such a man, impervious to poison, with such terrifying strength–this was just unfair!

“Hey! Where are you going?” Quintus calle chase when a frantic voice interrupted him,

out, his voice filled with annoyance. He was about to give

“Lydia, hang in there! Your sister is waiting for you outside! Don’t die, please!” It was Anna, her voice trembling with emotion.

Only then did Quintus turn around and approach the situation.

Lydia’s face had already turned a sickly green, and her lips twisted into a smile as if she were still clinging to some faint hope. “I… I don’t have much time left. There’s one thing I need to ask of you.”

Anna nodded, her face pale with worry. “You saved my life, no matter what you ask, I’ll do it!”

“Well, that’s brave of you,” Quintus said with a nod, crouching down beside them. “Sacrificing yourself to protect a comrade–I admire that. You’re exactly the kind of person I respect!”

Anyone who knew him understood that Quintus only respected the strong, looking down on the weak. Whether man or woman, aside from Mackenzie, all others were merely pawns in his eyes

“Please…” Lydia’s voice trembled as she held onto Anna with one hand and Quintus with the other. “Take care of Libby for me…

Her eyes were closed, but both Anna and Quintus could sense her gaze, as if she were still watching them. Without thinking, they both nodded solemnly.

As soon as they did, Lydia’s body went limp, her life slipping away.

“Report, Mr. Quintus! We’ve eliminated 233 enemies with zero casualties on our side!” A soldier rushed to deliver the news.

Quintus sighed. If not for Lydia’s death, their victory would have truly been flawless with no losses.

The stone walls in front of them were trembling, about to collapse. Just as Quintus prepared to give the order for a full assault, a voice crackled through his earpiece.

“Hold off on the attack. They’re our leverage! If we go in too quickly, they’ll resort to using innocent lives as bargaining chips!” It was Magnus.

Reluctantly, Quintus stopped, his brow furrowing. “But we’ll have to go in sooner or later. We can’t just wait for them to come out and surrender, can we?”

“They will surrender, Magnus‘ voice was filled with unwavering confidence.

At that moment, Quintus believed him. Magnus had proven time and again that he could do whatever he set his mind to. There was no need to rush; they would simply block the entrance.

Meanwhile, Anna, accompanied by a few others, carried the antidote and Lydia out of the stronghold, heading back to the rear to save others.

Elsewhere, Solana took advantage of the chaos at the gates, where the army of the Snake Sect clashed with the Wolf Warrior Unit. She snuck into the Serpent Altar taking advantage of the momentary weakness in their defenses.

The altar was hidden deep within a building, devoid of natural light, with only the flickering of flames providing illumination. The floor was covered in strange patterns, blood flowing through the lines.

While Solana hesitated, her curiosity compelling her to examine the patterns, a chilling, ethereal voice. suddenly echoed through the room.

“Impressive! In over twenty years, you’re only the second person to dare enter my Serpent Altarl

A shiver ran down Solana’s spine, her body tensing as cold fear crept up her back. She had no idea where. the voice had come from or who spoke it.
