"You're quite capable, little female," Yosan said, his voice low and eerie as he drew closer. "Not only did you cleanse the poison yourself—you even awakened an ability."
Step by step, he closed the distance between them.
"Was it you who poisoned me?" Nina asked, her voice steady.
Yosan shook his head with a faint, mocking smile. "No, no. I wouldn't bother poisoning a little female. Someone else did that."
There was no benefit in it for him—why would he waste the effort?
Nina's gaze darkened.
Then who was it? And why?
But there was no time to dwell on it.
Quietly, she gathered her strength.
This old monster had restrained even Odian and the others—his power was undeniably terrifying. If she wanted to survive…
She would need to end this in a single strike.
Around her, Odian and the others burned with urgency, forcing their power outward, trying desperately to break free.
Ming frowned, confusion flickering in his eyes.
How did this creature know Nina?
