Her Vengeful Rebirth

Chapter 101 Taken Hostage

Amidst the turmoil, several fighters had inadvertently ventured dangerously close to the adversary’s lines Ultimately, when the foes executed their self–destruction strategy, though these fighters pulled back, the visceral aftermath scattered far and wide–flesh and blood flung across the battlefield.

“There’s a dire situation. Ryder! A handful of us, about four or five, have started feeling terribly ill. Those individuals who attempted to thwart our efforts earlier, they’re all carriers of the disease!”

Ryder was dumbfounded by the severity of the situation. The contingent that had just departed numbered in the thousands–two thousand, to be precise. If all were to fall victim to this virus, merely to target Kallum, it spoke volumes of the enemy’s mercilessness; it was almost demonic in nature.
