Chapter 114: Silver Sword
"Huh?"
Phoenix was stunned, staring at the smoke in confusion, before she could think of anything, a silver Divine stage python shot towards her from the smoke, its maw opened wide.
"What in the world?!"
She gasped, instinctively leaping into the air just as the massive serpent slammed into the ground where she had stood moments before. The earth trembled slightly upon impact. The python recoiled into the smoke, its movements surprisingly swift for its size.
TAP!
Landing gracefully, Phoenix watched as the smoke finally cleared, revealing Amara standing protectively in front of a trembling Leyla. Amara’s gaze was ice-cold, directed squarely at Phoenix.
But it wasn’t just Amara’s presence that stunned Phoenix. It was the gleaming silver armor she wore, and the sheer scale of the python – a hundred feet of shimmering muscle, so large it would take a dozen men to encircle its body. The serpent’s piercing silver eyes held an ancient wisdom and power that made Phoenix’s blood run cold.
’This... this can’t be real,’ Phoenix thought frantically. ’This is the Boss’s mother... How is she a Tamer? And wielding a Divine stage beast with a Combat Strength of Level 10... Unbelievable, she hid this so well.’

"Dad... has Mum ever gotten really angry?" Katherine asked, settling onto the plush couch beside Ethan.
