My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2518

Back to Anox, he was panting heavily on the battlefield, the brilliance of his fan fading. Thresmund looked at the struggling Anox with disdain.

“Give up, Anox. Just look around you,” he taunted.

His companions were all lying motionless on the ground, unable to get up.

“There’s no need to hold on any longer, Anox. It’s over.”

Anox gazed at the lifeless figures of his friends.

“Chevy... Teresa... Enid... Mar... Zora...” Anox’s resolve began to waver.

Thresmund flew next to him.

“I haven’t dealt you a fatal blow. You should consider that a mercy. If you continue to resist, I can’t promise what will happen next.”

Self-reproach filled Anox. “It’s all my fault... If I hadn’t noticed the anomaly, everyone wouldn’t have gotten hurt. Their injuries are severe. What should I do? What should I do?”

Seeing that Anox had seemingly lost the will to fight, Thresmund turned to leave for another arena. Just then, a figure emerged ahead.

Thresmund looked at the newcomer with contempt.

“Here to surrender?”

In response, the figure merely raised a hand, causing everyone around to vanish in an instant.

Anox found himself behind an unfamiliar figure and looked up, puzzled.

“Who are you?”

“But I can’t…”

“I know.” Clint snapped his fingers, and before Thresmund could even react, both he and Anox were pulled into Clint’s barrier.

Once inside, Clint explained to Anox, “We're in this barrier now, and I’ll share my true energy with you. Don’t worry, I have plenty. Feel free to use that powerful fan of yours.”

Clint’s decision to collaborate with Anox came from necessity. He knew Thresmund could only start his energy cycle after using his abilities, so they needed to engage him in a war of attrition until one of them found Thresmund’s true energy at its lowest point. This would allow them to deliver the critical blow.

Anox was able to grasp the plan, and he realized that this might be their only chance. He agreed reluctantly.

Meanwhile, Thresmund was still astonished that they had been able to pull him into the barrier while he was unaware. He began to wonder about the identity of the newcomer.

“Wait…” Thresmund muttered when he felt the power within him begin to stir restlessly.
