Sylvia's POV:
Noreen tried her best to repel Rufus' attack with the crystal ball, but Rufus didn't give her a chance.
She was not skilled at close combat. She tried to fight back, but it was far less powerful than when she used magic.
Gradually, Noreen lost her advantage. When Rufus was about to end her life with one final move, I quickly stopped him. "Wait, let her first reveal what poison she has given to your father." Rufus pulled back his fist in time and kicked Noreen far away.
Noreen spat out a mouthful of blood, but her expression betrayed no fear. She took out a handkerchief to clean the blood from her face, and casually said, "Ethan has only been affected by snake poison. This kind of snake is the most common type in the forbidden forest behind your palace. It's purple, about the length of a baby's arm, and has green scales above its eyes. To make an antidote for him, all you have to do is cut its tail off and smash it."
"Are you speaking the truth?" I didn't trust Noreen.
Her face was pale and her eyes glinted icily. "You'll only know when you try it. Killing Ethan has never been my goal. My end target has always been you, Sylvia."
I frowned when I heard this. I didn't understand what she meant. Was it because I was a hybrid? Noreen seemed to have guessed what I was thinking. She snorted and said, "The reason is simple. You are a hybrid, and possess the bloodlines of both black witches and lycans. You are the best experimental subject. I believe that you're the key to making my hybrid experiment successful, so I have to take you with me today." Rufus became infuriated when he heard this. He charged forward and kicked Noreen hard.
She slammed into a tree like a piece of rag and then shot Rufus a savage glare. "That's enough. Do you really think I can't defeat you?"
"Cut the crap, loser." Rufus' face clouded with anger, and his demeanor became even more forbidding than the dark power Noreen emanated.
However, this only served to excite her more. She slowly got to her feet and giggled. "Interesting. No one has dared to provoke me like this for a long time. No wonder you are currently the strongest werewolf in the werewolf race. Since that's the case, I'll fight with you, Rufus."
