In no time, someone brought the rope previously used to bind Calista, still marked with her blood.

âFind this woman and tear her apart!â Uriah commanded as he released the leash, unleashing the wolfdogs in the direction he suspected Calista had taken.
Calista braced herself, familiar with the imminent danger, yet the intensity of this moment brought a sharp clarity that she was perilously close to death.
This man has no regard for life. I want neither to die nor to be sold. What should I do?
Just then, a gunshot rang out in the distance, bringing a momentary sense of relief to Calistia, while Uriahâs previously amused expression instantly darkened, his features twisting into a stormy glare. âWhoâs
there!â
Amidst intermittent static, voices crackled through the intercom.
âBoss, weâve encountered a breach at Mount Goldfall⦠currently, itâs unclear who⦠but thereâs a sizable group-âThe report was cut short by screams, leaving Uriahâs expression even grimmer.
Among the many who sought my downfall, who could this new threat be? Kallum? Impossibleâ¦. He has already gone to the military district; surely, he couldnât have mustered such a force. Who then possesses such capabilities? Regardless, I canât just sit back and do nothing!
Though Uriah was momentarily distracted from Calista, his nature wouldnât allow him to overlook any affront. He swiftly delegated the task to his henchmen with a grave voice. âIf you find that woman, thereâs no need to report back. Just kill her on the spot!â
âUnderstood!â
âPrepare the plane. If we cannot hold them back, we need to retreat swiftly.â
âRoger that!â
As Uriahâs men followed the wolfdogs toward a potential hiding spot, Uriah, surrounded by his loyalists. hastily departed the scene.
While Uriah was coordinating his retreat, Calista seized the moment to act. She tore off her bloodâsoiled bandage, skewered it onto a branch, and flung it beneath another tree to mislead the wolfdogs. She then quickly wrapped her wound with her outer garment to stem any further bleeding.
Soon after, the pursuers and the wolfdogs converged at the base of the tree, where the beasts ferociously tugged at the bloodâsoaked cloth.
âThat woman must be nearby! Spread out and search for her!â commanded the leader. While the others fanned out, the leader struggled to retrieve the cloth from the wolfdogâs mouth.
At that moment, Calista descended gracefully from her perch, her presence nearly imperceptible. Her movements were light and poised, and as she approached the man, the needle in her hand glinted ominously under the dim light.

a frontal assault.
The air was thick with the cacophony of gunfire and the harsh sounds of battle. Maintaining communication with the military district, Kallum found himself at the heart of a brutal conflict.

Mount Goldfall was a crucial stronghold for Uriah in Lostaria, housing his ultimate reserve of resources essential for a possible resurgence.
With the dangerous K Virus in play, it was imperative for Kallum and the people of Lostaria that Uriah not escape with his life. The risk of the havoc he could wreak if left unchecked was unimaginable.
Uriah had initially planned a staunch resistance, but upon realizing the overwhelming odds against him due to the superior strength of his opponentâs forces, he swiftly opted to flee.
Driven by both cruelty and a deepâseated fear of death, Uriah was prepared to abandon his position at the first sign of defeat.
Halfway up the mountain, Kallum noticed several aircraft circling overhead, clearly not there for an assault but likely arranged for an evacuation.
Acting swiftly on this observation, Kallum issued orders.
Following his strategic directive, the teams split their focus: one provided defensive cover while the other targeted the aircraft with heavy weaponry.
The ensuing barrage resulted in several thunderous explosions, leading to the downing of a plane. This spectacle pushed Uriah to the edge of despair, filled with the premonition of his looming demise.
âWho is it? Whoâs out to get melâ
Who the hell were these wellâtrained troops and where did they spring from? Apart from Kallum, who else possesses such capability?
With the realization that Kallumâs forces were primarily positioned in the military district, Uriah mistakenly assumed that Kallum would not compromise his position over a woman. Yet, who else possessed such a large reserve of munitions apart from Kallum?
As the evacuation plane became untenable, Uriahâs only alternative was a secretive escape route through the mountain.
Thanks to Kallumâs rapid mobilization and decisive leadership, his teamâs ascent up the mountain took merely an hour.
Kallum knew that failing to eliminate Uriah could lead to catastrophic consequences.
At that moment, Ryder approached hurriedly.
âMr. Kallum, the antibody!â he urged, handing Kallum a vial.
By then, nearly two hours had glapsed, and the efficacy of the antibodies was highly questionable.
Previously, Kallum had ingested a potent antipyretic which kept him relatively coherent. Aware that administering the antibody (his late was unlikely to be ben

The ultimate outcome of this action remained to be seen.

Suddenly, a burly figure clad in black approached with urgent news. âMr. Kallum, the enemy is retreating toward the rear of the mountain!â he reported.
Kallumâs face set in a grim line. âI suspect that the interior of this mountain is hollow. Uriah would not have chosen this location as his hideout without such an advantage. Dispatch a team with a sonar detector to confirm. We must preempt their escape routes and ensure no one escapes alive from here!â
