The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven)

Chapter 170

Chapter 170 Stop

Raven stood silently on the sidelines, her gaze locked on Caleb's battered figure.

Despite the overwhelming disadvantage, the boy still gritted his teeth and fought with every last ounce of strength.

For the first time, a flicker of approval appeared in her usually indifferent eyes.

He was finally showing it-that ruthless will to fight like his life depended on it. During training, Caleb had always performed decently, but he'd lacked a vital edge: the ferocity to stake everything in a real battle.

Without that, he could never break into the ranks of the Elite Warriors.

But now, thanks to Jedidiah's relentless provocation, the blood in him had finally begun to boil.

This was exactly why she had purposely awarded Caleb the first Hundred-Man Unit slot-so Jedidiah would emerge from the shadows and set his sights on him.

As for Caleb's injuries, as long as he didn't die, she was fully confident she could have him back to full health within three days.

Meanwhile, Jedidiah was spiraling into a frenzy.

The moment Caleb's teeth sank deep into his leg, his strikes turned savage.

Crack after crack echoed as Caleb's bones fractured under the assault.

His body was now a mess of blood and broken limbs, his breaths shallow and fading.

But even then, his jaws refused to unclench.

"Someone help him!"

"Get him out of there-now!"

"Hell no. This is our land, and I'll be damned if some punk from Sunset Empire thinks he can run wild here!"
