Gautier noticed that Sage had seized the moment to aim at Florus Admon and also intended to act.
However, in the next instant, Florus Admon deliberately used Caden as a shield. This forced Sage to abandon his shot.
âDâmn it!â
As a soldier, Sage was bound by an uishakable sense of luty. His mission was to rescue Caden, and any harm to the commanderâs son would mean failure.
As a member of the elite Wolf Warrior, personal sacrifice was acceptable, but failure in completing the mission was not. This moral code had shackled his squadâs performance, limiting their combat efficiency to less than 30%
âHeh, you wonât shoot? Well, I wonât show you any mercy
Florus Admon smirked triumphantly and hurled a stee needle toward Sage.
Despite Sageâs formidable skills honed by countless lifeâandâdeath battles, he couldnât entirely evade the attack. The needle pierced his arm, sending a wave of excruciating pain that nearly caused him to drop his
gun
With sheer willpower, he grifted his teeth and caught the weapon before it hit the ground, raising it once more to aim at Florus Admon.
âOh, not bad! I quite admire you.â Florus Admon chuckled, impressed by Sageâs determination. âHowever, being admired by me isnât a blessing. Many of my disciples I admired couldnât withstand my rigorous training and ended up working themselves to death.â
Sage panted heavily, ignoring her taunts and keeping his gun firmly trained on her.
The moment he found an opening, he wouldnât hesitate to shoot.
Unexpectedly, Florus Admon slowly placed Caden down.
Sageâs body tensed. Florus Admon was ignoring his threat.
âLetâs settle this in a fair duel,â Florus Admon announced smugly. âLetâs see whose speed reigns supreme- your bullets or my needles.â
âBring it on.â
Sage didnât entertain thoughts of victory or defeat. With unwavering resolve, he prepared for battle.
Without waiting for Florus Admon to lay out any rules, he immediately fired.
Nevertheless, his bullet missed its mark, as Florus Admon dodged gracefully. At the same time, sharp pains erupted across his arm, shoulder, and chest.
In the blink of an eye, seven bloody wounds adorned his body.
The intense agony momentarily numbed his senses. Yet, despite reaching his physical limits, he

Florus Admonâs surprise turned into reluctant admiration. âTâll concede youâre the toughest man Iâve ever encountered. No one has survived this many of my neeilles, let alone stayed standing.â
Expressionless, Sage strained to move his fingers, intent on pulling the trigger once more. His iron will screamed that the mission to save the commanderâs son must succeedâeven if it cost him his life.
However, miracles didnât come easily.
In the face of overwhelming power, no amount of determination could bridge the gap.
âThis final needle will pierce your skull and end your suffering.â Florus Admon threw another needle before turning her attention to Caden-
She didnât even bother to confirm her his
Yet, what happened next shocked her a long whip, black as a serpent, lashed out toward her.
Her expression shifted dramatically.
Who is this?
She had been so focused on the duel that she hadnât noticed someone else approaching.
As she dodged the whip with uncharacteristic clumsiness, the mysterious figure snatched Sage and, with a deft movement, wrapped the whip around Caden to pull the infant toward her.
âWhat an extraordinary woman!â
Florus Admon observed the new arrival, who, like her, wielded a whip. She couldnât suppress
amazement.

Nevertheless, another twist took her by surprise.
Before the whipâwielding woman could secure Caden, a lightningâfast figure appeared and snatched the child away.
âImpossible!â
Florus Admonâs eyes widened in disbelief.
If her first misstep was due to negligence, this time, it was because she had underestimated the opponentâs
abilities.
Even Gautier, who had been observing from the shadows, was stunned.
Who is this womank Could she have been sent by Emmanuel!
If so, we have all underestimated Emmanuelâs capabilities. Who knows he commands such powerful allies, even ones on par with the legendary Eight Supremes?
Heh, quite an adorable child. No wonder everyoneâs fighting over him,â the woman cooed, holding Caden in her arms and playfully interacting with the baby.

âAs expected of the offspring of Emmanuel and the Saintess. This little one will undoubtedly grow into a prodigious martial artist.â
Like Florus Admon, the woman had noticed the babyâs extraordinary innate talent.
âWho are you?â
Fuming at her arrogance, Florus Admon demanded answers.
Even Sage, lying gravely injured, was eager to know whether this woman was friend or foeâor an independent third party.
âIsnât it proper etiquette to introduce yourself before questioning someone elseâs identity? Were you raised without manners?â the woman retorted mockingly, showing no fear of the Eight Supremes.
âYouâ¦â
Florus Admon gritted her teeth, raising a steel needle between her fingers. I am Florus Admon, one of the strongest of the Eight Supremes of Zovince.â
The Eight Supremesâ title was renowned throughout Chanaca, striking fear into anyone who heard it. Those who dared offend them often groveled for mercy
However, even as Florus Admon boasted her title, the whipâwielding woman remained unimpressed. Instead, her interest was piqued.
âOh, so youâre one of the legendary Eight Supremes. That explains your ruthlessness.â
âHmph, now that you know who I am, state your name and prepare to meet your end,â Florus Admon said.
Her tone left no doubtâthis defiant woman would not be spared. No one had ever dared to flaunt arrogance before her.
âThe Eight Supremes may be the pinnacle of martial artists in the open world of Chanaea, the woman. remarked, âbut this nation is vast, and hidden masters far surpassing your skills abound. You have nothing to be proud of
With a playful smirk, she added, âSince youâre so curious, Iâll oblige you. I am Scarlet, from Towerine.â
âTowerine?â
The mention of those words caused Florus Admonâs expression to shift.
As a towering figure in Chanacaâs martial world, Florus Admon was wellâversed in its history. Towerine was a name that once struck terror into the hearts of all martial artists.
Renowned for its brutal and cursed legacy, the warriors of Towerine were infamous for growing stronger through the slaughter of their kin, using guilt and remorse as fuel to advance their skills.
âI never imagined that remnants of that cursed place still exist.â
Florus Admionâs casual demeanor gave way to guarded vigilance. Steeling herself, she taunted, âToday, I will end the last vestiges of your sinful lineage.â
