Chapter 2130 Rise of the Toads

Aora dodged quickly, effortlessly sidestepping Rhett’s (ike. Both lighters knew this was a battle to the finish, so neither rushed in recklessly. Instead, they concentrated on leveraging the uneven terrain, capitalizing on their own strengths while exploiting the other’s weaknesses.

The fight dragged on–fifty moves, then a hundred, then two hundred. As the first light of dawn crept over the horizon, the battle was still deadlocked.

Mackenzie paced back and forth at the base of the mountain, her exhaustion hidden behind a mask of calm focus. She hadn’t rested all night.

Quintus and Magnus had gone into the Serpent’s stronghold hours ago with no updates, and Rhett and Anna had yet to return from the mountain. The uncertainty would have eaten away at her if not for her unwavering trust in Rhett.

Falcon, taking charge while Rhett was away, frowned deeply. “Could the Serpent’s stronghold have discovered us and sent reinforcements?”

“I doubt it. The Serpent’s stronghold has only one entrance, and Quintus hasn’t sent word of being discovered. There’s no way they could react
