Chapter 956 A Fate Worse Than Death

Confronted with Quito’s hollow eyes and incessant struggling, Enoch brought two fingers that were

slightly aglow with a gilded light which he tapped swiftly against Quito’s temple.

The gilded light dissolved into Quito’s noggin, causing the fifth guardian’s body to desist from its state of

agitation. The life had also returned to his previously unfocused eyes.

“Enoch… W-Why are you guys staring at me like that?” asked Quito, somewhat perturbed by the anxious

looks on the faces of his peers.

“You had fallen for someone’s Seduction Technique and did not even realize it. G*ddammit! Haven’t I told

both of you so many times before not to give in to the temptation of lust when we are out on missions?”

Enoch hollered at Quito in severity.

His words caused Quito and Catur to bow their own heads in shame. Of the five, these were the two

most lecherous ones, and it was for that very reason that Quito fell for Lyanna’s Seduction Technique.

“Curse that conniving woman! I’m going to kill her!”

Wrought by shame and rage, Quito did not expect himself to fall prey to Lyanna’s deviousness.

Enoch reached out and held Quito back before he turned his attention toward Rayleigh and his group.

As that was happening, Rayleigh was busy leading Josephine and the others in patching up the white

wolf, whose constitution had since become tremendously frail.

“Hang in there, Snowy, stay with us…”

Josephine’s face was awash with tears. An ethereal ball of reddish light that formed on the inside of her

palms began to encapsulate the white wolf tightly inside.

When they saw the white wolf in that state, neither Lizbeth, Melanie, nor Lyanna was able to contain their

own distress either.

Even Rayleigh’s eyes reddened, for they had all come to develop a tremendous fondness for the white

wolf over the period of time they spent together.

“Give us Jared now, Rayleigh, and I may offer the lot of you another chance to live yet,” said Enoch

frostily as he looked toward Rayleigh.

With eyes puffy, Rayleigh seethed between gritted teeth, “You can banish the thought! The only way

you’d ever be able to step inside this mansion is over our dead bodies!”

In spite of having lost his powers, the murderous aura that radiated off Rayleigh remained nonetheless

intimidating.

“Since you will not see reason, then you have only yourself to blame.” Enoch’s eyes narrowed slightly,

his gaze turning cold.

When his voice trailed off, Quito promptly leaped into the air, aiming straight for Lyanna, for her trickery

from before had left him deeply humiliated.

Altan, Garadin, and Catur, too, followed suit. The terrifying martial energy of the quartet had Rayleigh’s

group completely cut off from all sides, leaving them no route for retreat.

“If I should die, Melanie, do not allow yourself to become their captive. Otherwise, you’d only face a fate

worse than death.”

Lyanna then thrusted a dagger into Melanie’s hands.

Clutching the blade close, Melanie nodded furiously. Her eyes brimmed with a resolve that she would not

let herself be taken alive.

Casting another glance in Melanie’s way, Lyanna then unsheathed her own sword and about-faced to

confront the five guardians.

At that very moment, Lyanna no longer feared death and was driven only by the desire to use her own

life to buy Jared extra time.

Before Lyanna was able to get anywhere near the guardians, however, she found herself sent flying

backward. Struck by a devastating blast of martial energy delivered through the blow of a palm, she

crumbled right in front of Melanie.

“Lyanna!”

Melanie got onto her knees and wiped at the streaks of blood hanging on the corner of Lyanna’s lips.

The sight of Lyanna coughing up blood set Lizbeth’s eyes afire. With a resounding roar, she charged

headlong in the guardians’ direction.

Bang!

Lizbeth was to meet the same outcome, being sent hurtling back before she could get within range of her

enemies.

With a fresh spurt of blood, Lizbeth bombed heavily onto the ground, creating a cavernous crater directly

underneath her own body upon impact.

“Lizbeth!”

Rayleigh ran up to examine Lizbeth’s injuries.
