All of a sudden, he thought of the terrifying nuclear wave weapons that had struck Sebastian and
Devin before, causing his face to lose all color.
Nonetheless, his gaze was filled with a resolve that he never felt before.
Subsequently, he took out the snake whistle he had used in Yartran.
Fweet! The moment a sharp and jarring sound reverberated throughout the forest, bone-chilling rustles
began to fill everyone's ears.
Are those snakes? How is that possible?How can this young man summon snakes? After being
stunned by Kurt's action, they began to feel swarms of slithering creatures at their feet, sending a chill
down everyone's spines.
"Quick! Retreat to the cave at once! These are the poisonous snakes that we have raised ourselves."
The fact that the snakes belonged to them terrified them further.
With that, all of them retreated swiftly.
At the sight of the fleeing enemy, Kurt finally stopped.
He then turned to his SteelFort seniors and instructed, "You should leave quickly, while I hold them
back.Matt and lan should be outside waiting to receive you."
"But—"
"Don't worry.I'll withdraw soon.Besides, didn't you see for yourself how I summoned the snakes?
Obviously, I still have a few tricks up my sleeve.After all, I did grow up here."
In order to allay their concerns, Kurt convinced them he had other means of defeating their enemies.
With that, the four members of SteelFort left with the unconscious Vivian.
Their main duty was to protect her, after all.
Once they were gone, they had no knowledge of what happened in the forest after that.
The moment they came out and saw Devin and the two brothers, they informed them they had lost
contact with Kurt.
"Lost contact? In that case, we will flatten their entire base!" barked Devin, who had arrived with a huge
troop of soldiers.
At his command, the people of Elysium watched in fear as the heavily armed soldiers marched into the
hills.
The Elysium royal family who ruled the tribe did not dare to stop them at all.
Three hours later, the intense battle finally came to an end.
Devin, together with his men, killed many of the enemies while the hundreds who survived were all
captured.
Consequently, news of their success shook the entire region.
As for Vivi, she had missed all the drama due to her being unconscious.
By the time she awoke, the terrifying battle had already ended.
"Vivi, you're finally awake! How do you feel?"
Within the small town where they had set up their temporary base, Matteo hurried over to check on his
sister when he realized she was up.
lan, who was beside them, came over to do the same.
Lying in her bed, Vivian glanced at her two brothers.
Even then, it took her a long while before she managed to regain her senses and the sparkle in her
eyes.
"Matt, I'm fine.Where are we?"
"We're in a small town near Elysium.You silly girl.Do you know how big a fright you have given us?"
Matteo reprimanded as he helped Vivian to sit up.lan did not say a word.
Instead, he poured Vivian a cup of warm water.
After drinking some, Vivian sat there and scratched her head before smiling awkwardly.
"I just saw a wonderful opportunity.So how about it? Did you receive the videos of the terrain and the
caves? Were they of any use? Is Uncle Devin here? Does he have any plans?"
Evidently, Vivian was all grown up, too.
The moment she awoke, she started asking about the issue at hand instead of being concerned about
her own well-being.
When Matteo heard her response, he rubbed her head in amusement.
"Yes, he has.Looks like you have become the hero of the day.With the information you have provided,
Uncle Devin has captured all the remnants of the enemy.Even Great-grandpa has praised you for your
bravery."
"Really?"
Vivian was so delighted by the news that she blushed.
At the same time, Jan gave her an approving look.
Amidst the triplet's chatter, Devin entered the room.
When he saw Vivian had awoken, he came over to her bedside to check on her.
"Vivi, are you feeling all right? Does it hurt anywhere?"
"I'm perfectly fine, Uncle Devin.I heard that you have wrapped up the matter beautifully.What about
Kurt? Have you seen him? He went to the River of Styx.I didn't tell him any of this."
Finally, she began asking about Kurt.
