Chapter 2216 A Desperate Battle!

Libby?!

No one expected Libby to be the first to lunge toward Quintus.

In fact, fearing she wouldn't make it in time, she dove forward at the last moment, throwing herself sideways to

shield Quintus from the incoming strike-no hesitation, no reservation.

But Aora didn’t stop. He was determined to kill Quintus and avenge his fallen brother.

At that moment, tseemingly froze.

Quintus’ emotions surged-he wanted to shout, to scream-but his voice refused to cout. There wasn’t even

tto try.

“Die!” Aora’s palm struck right on target-slamming into Libby's arm.

Crack!

The crisp sound of breaking bones echoed in the air.

Her small body crashed into Quintus, sending both of them flying several yards before hitting the ground

hard.

“Libby!”

“Libby!”

Aurora and the others finally found their voices, their shouts of shock ringing through the battlefield.

Solana, overcoming her fear at last, roared in fury and spewed fire toward Aora, who leaped into the air, narrowly

dodging the raging flames.

With him momentarily off Quintus and Libby, the Wolf Warrior Unit seized the chance to unleash a barrage of

gunfire, forcing Aora into a defensive retreat, at least for now.

“Hey, troublemaker! Wake up!” Quintus, still conscious despite the brutal impact, gritted his teeth and gently

patted Libby's pale face.

Her eyelids fluttered. Her face was ghostly white, save for an unnatural flush of red, the pain she was enduring

written all over her features.

“Hey! Wake up!” Quintus patted her again, his voice growing more anxious, his panic evident. Sure, she was a

pain in the ass, but he didn’t want her to die.

“M-Mr. Quintus...”

After what felt like forever, Libby finally managed to crack open her eyes. A weak smile struggled onto her lips.

“I... I'm not a coward... or dead weight... right?”

Her smile struck something deep within Quintus-like a beam of light piercing straight through his chest. He

trembled, feeling something inside him shift.

She had shaken him.

“Heh... You've earned my respect”

Finished

It took him a moment to suppress the stinging sensation in his eyes before forcing a grin. “But if you die, you're

still just a weakling. And I don’t like weaklings.”

Libby smiled, too.

That smile drained the last ounce of strength she had left. She could no longer speak, but deep down, she swore

to herself, I have to survive. I have to prove to Mr Quintus that I'm not weak!

“Hey, hey! Troublemaker! Wake up!” Quintus called out to her again before carefully lifting her in his arms, intent

on getting her to safety.

But Aora hadn't left. Seeing Quintus rise to his feet, Aora’s face twisted into a demonic snarl, “Quintus! I'm going

to tear you apart, limb by limb!”

SA! Solana’s instincts screamed at her-without thinking about the danger, she charged toward Aora from behind.

But she wasn’t fast enough.

“Screw this! We're taking you down with us!”

At that moment, Ironskull and Ostrich also threw caution to the wind, launching a direct attack on Aora.

They went all out. But even with their full strength, Aora barely seemed to register their presence. With a casual

swing of each arm, he sent both of them flying in opposite directions.

To call it terrifying would be an understatement. They could feel the sheer, unrelenting power radiating from

Aora, and they couldn't help wondering how the hell Quintus had survived multiple full-force attacks from this

monster.

Boom! Boom!

The two warriors hit the ground hard, coughing up blood.

“Protect General Quintus!”

“Kill him!”

In this moment of crisis, the unity of the Dark Night Alliance shone through.

Even knowing they were throwing themselves into a hopeless battle, the warriors of the Dark Night Islands

showed no fear. They charged Aora in waves, determined to take this demon down through sheer numbers.

Quintus, struggling, finally managed to lay Libby down gently. Clenching his teeth, he growled, “None of you can

stop him! Let me-"

Splurt!

Before he could finish, a mouthful of blood burst from his lips.

“Mr. Quintus, stop pushing yourself!” Aurora rushed over, grabbing his arm to steady him.

Anyone with eyes could see that Quintus was at his limit. If he rushed in now, it would be suicide.

“Let go of me! I'm not backing down-cough, cough!”

He shoved Aurora aside, but his body betrayed him. His leg buckled, and he dropped to one knee.

“D*mn it... How could I lose to him?! Impossible!”

Frustration boiled inside him.

53%

Finished

How did Aora grow this powerful in such a short time? If his rage over his fallen brother pushed him to this level,

shouldn't I be able to do the same?!

But no matter how furious he was, he couldn't tap into the kind of monstrous strength Aora had gained.

But that was only natural.

Aurora knelt beside him, lowering her voice. “Aora must have practiced skind of forbidden technique. He's

completely different from before... he might even be on the verge of losing control. But... I can’t say for sure.”

The realization hit Quintus like a ton of bricks. His gaze snapped toward Aora, who was still effortlessly tearing

through the warriors surrounding him.

Whether he’s losing control or not, one thing's for sure-his power is on another level. No one here can stop him.

And if this continues, the Wolf Warrior Unit will be wiped out!

As Solana collapsed from her wounds, a feeling of despair flickered in everyone's eyes.

Just then, a rocket shot toward Aora.

His eyes widened in shock, and he quickly dove behind the remains of a wall for cover.

Whoosh-BOOM!

The explosion sent debris flying in every direction.

Everyone instinctively followed the trajectory of the shot-and there she was.

Eve.

She strode forward, rocket launcher still on her shoulder, radiating pure dominance.

“Captain Eve! Thank God you're here!” Aurora let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding.

With firepower like this, surely Aora would be defeated now, right? But before Eve could even respond, the

crumbling wall suddenly erupted outward. A burst of force sent shards of stone flying at them like deadly

projectiles.

Eve barely managed to step back in time, shielding herself.

“Hahaha... I'm going to kill every last one of you!” Aora laughed maniacally. “I am Mr. Tanner's ace!”

Though he looked a little battered, it was clear-the missile hadn't really harmed him.

Despair settled over the battlefield.

Seeing their comrades wounded and fallen all around them, Aurora and Eve couldn't hide the despair in their

eyes.

“D*mn it!”

Only Quintus, who had never learned the meaning of despair, forced himself up.

A true warrior could die in battle-but never from fear.

“Heh... good!” Aora sneered, his expression twisted with bloodlust. “Lettear you apart first!”

Finished

As he charged, Aurora prepared herself to step forward. If they were going to die, they'd die together.

But just then, a silver flash streaked through the air, making Aora jump in surprise, for he knew the silver light all

too well.

Before, he wouldn't have even had the ability to dodge it. But now, with the power of the Dragon’s Reversal

Essence, he barely managed to evade. Even so, a cold sweat broke out on his back.

A split second later, Santiago descended from the sky like a storm. He struck out three times in quick

succession-each attack strange and unpredictable.

Aora, empowered by the Dragon's Reversal Essence, managed to block them all. But he didn’t dare to fight.

Gritting his teeth, he grabbed Azure's unconscious body and fled without a second thought.

Santiago watched him go but didn’t pursue. Instead, his eyes darkened with thought. That technique... Why has

it resurfaced? This is bad!

“Sir, thank God you arrived in time!” Aurora’s voice trembled with relief as she ran up, her eyes glistening with

unshed tears. “We would've been finished without you!”

Quintus, despite everything, managed a grin-but his words were sharp as ever. “You really like meddling in other

people’s fights, old man. I was just about to finish him off! And now you let him get away!”
