Chapter 2207 Vault Battle
Isaiah, one of the strongest warriors within the Karat faction, stood as a formidable force. Having reached the middle stage of the third cosmos, his prowess with the dagger was unparalleled. In the chaos that erupted, his dagger flew with fierce precision, piercing through multiple targets with devastating effect. The sudden, close proximity assault massacred the entire elite magus forces, ripping bodies apart and killing them instantly. Emery narrowly avoided the attack, his divine sense immediately assessing the aftermath. His primary concern was Tessa. His heart pounded as he saw her vulnerable position, but Lord Hassa, with swift reflexes, summoned his golden barrier just in time, shielding her from harm. However, this protective act left an opening, and two daggers found their mark, piercing the Lord's back.
Grand Magus Nayef, the spirit master, displayed his formidable abilities by stopping one of the daggers with a powerful spirit attack, creating an invisible barrier that deflected the lethal projectile. As for Grand Magus Starr, the commander of the palace guard barely manages to parry the dagger. His sword clanged against the blade, sparks flying from the impact. Despite his valiant effort, the dagger managed to strike his shoulder, leaving a deep, bleeding wound.
Tessa's screamed with hysteria as she saw the magus bodies and blood pouring from her father's back. However, despite the severe injury, Lord Hassa unleashed his domain power. The air around him crackled with energy as he turned the daggers embedded in his flesh into dust. Gritting his teeth against the pain, his eyes locked onto Isaiah with a gaze of steely resolve.

"You... Why did you betray us?"
Isaiah, allowed a small chuckle to escape his lips. "For all the faction has done for me... I will tell you why," he said with a mocking tone. "Honestly... I'm just bored... hundreds of years of servitude..." His eyes wandered around the vault, taking in the treasure-laden room. "This is just such a convenient timing for an exit."
"Exit where?! The whole alliance will hunt you down!!"
Emery made a rapid assessment of the dire situation. Both Nayef and Starr, despite being two-cosmos grand magus, were struggling to contain Isaiah's relentless assault. Adding the grand magus summoners to the mix made their chances of success slim. Determined to turn the tide, Emery placed his hand on Lord Hassa's wound, casting his nature spell to expedite the neutralization of the poison. However, he quickly realized that his efforts were no match for Hassa's inherent grand magus realm recovery abilities.
"I appreciate the effort," Lord Hassa murmured, his voice a strained whisper.
Undeterred, Emery didn't stop. Instead, he delved into his domain, retrieving a variety of ingredients. He swiftly began concocting an antidote, his fingers moving with practiced precision. He understood that their best chance of survival against the three-cosmos Isaiah lay in counteracting the poison. It was only a matter of time before everyone would be affected by the traitor's lethal toxins.
As Emery worked, his gaze flickered to Nayef. The spirit master was beginning to falter, fresh cuts marring his body from Isaiah's dagger attacks. The strain was evident in Nayef's eyes, and Emery knew he wouldn't be able to hold out much longer.
Creating a potion to completely cure the toxin was a tall order, but Emery didn't need a perfect solution—just something to resist long enough. With VIA's assistance and his extensive knowledge of poisons, he quickly modified one of his already-prepared pills. Working with precision, he enhanced it to maximize its efficacy against Isaiah's venom.
"What the hell is he doing?" Ravi sneered, noticing Emery's focused efforts. Deciding to exploit the distraction, he waited for gaps between the commander's movements and lunged at Emery, his high-grade sword gleaming with lethal intent. "Die!"
Tessa quickly jumped in to stop the attack, but unfortunately, with her strength, such an act would only get her killed. At the critical moment, Emery unleashed a massive beast from his domain. The Golden Roc Eagle emerged, its impressive wingspan shielding them from the oncoming blow.
