Chapter 133: Royal Guard (IV)
Mitcher and the soldiers at the base of the mountain, as well as the Warrior in black armor and the Mages in dark robes, were shocked to see the large man fall to his knees, his entire face pale as a ghost.
Rodrick was just as shocked as the rest by the sudden fall. He did not understand what was happening, but suddenly, he turned to the large cauterized wound on his arm and felt a numbness in it. Realization appeared in his eyes, along with terror, as he stared at the woman as if she were a monster.
"Poison!" That was the last word the man uttered before falling to the ground unconscious.
Amara’s impervious expression finally faded, showing a cold smile as she saw the man had finally collapsed.
Rodrick was right, yet it was not a normal poison that had infiltrated his body. Amara had used the power of the Rune of Venomous Strike engraved in her hands. It was a core piece of the Shadow Assassin Runic Set and allowed her to imbue her weapons with a demonic poison capable of debilitating power that could paralyze or even kill a man.
All this time, the Royal Guard had been buying time, waiting for the demonic poison to reach its critical point and affect the man’s body.
’It took a little longer than expected, but it worked perfectly. Now it is time to act,’ Amara’s smile faded, replaced by her impervious and cold eyes as she glanced at Mitchel with a sharp gaze, her intent clear.
Mitchel felt the gaze of the Royal Guard capturing the message, and immediately, his eyes burst with determination and killing intent. "Warriors, charge! Mages, cover us!"
The soldiers from the Xaos Kingdom were stunned by the sudden fall of the enemy leader, but as soon as they heard Mitchel’s order, they acted.
