Betrayed, But Not Defeated novel Chapter 237

Amelia never expected such an absurd attack from Camille, and her face immediately flushed red.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

Camille ignored her. The energy within her suddenly erupted and instantly swept Amelia into it.

Daniel naturally couldn't just stand by and do nothing. His brows furrowed as he decisively struck out. However, Camille's power flowed like water and effortlessly absorbed his attack.

"This time, consider yourself lucky," Camille said, and her tone was laced with complexity.

"Lucky? Who's the lucky one here?"

Daniel's eyes widened, but before he could say another word, his lips were suddenly covered—not by Camille, but by Amelia.

Already weaker than the others, Amelia had completely lost consciousness under the effects of the Darkspite Poison. She collapsed against Daniel, and her hands wandered over him in an uncontrolled manner.

Daniel hesitated to fight back, and that gave Camille the opportunity she needed.

She rose slightly into the air. "Do you know why they call me the Saintess? Daniel, you're powerful—far beyond what I expected. But this time… This was just an accident!"

As she finished speaking, her energy condensed like water droplets, enveloping all three of them.

Daniel's vision was momentarily consumed by white. But fortunately, his power was as overwhelming as ever. Even against both of them, he held his ground.

In contrast, Camille and Amelia were inexperienced, making them no match for him at all.

Just as Daniel was lost in thought, a sudden heat surged through his lower abdomen.

"This is strange… Am I about to break through?"

Daniel had never focused too much on cultivation, mainly due to the lack of spiritual energy. Besides, he prioritized honing his mindset, waiting for things to fall into place naturally. He never expected this moment to arrive so soon.

"No, something's off. It's Camille!"

She cast a deep look at Daniel before turning away. But before leaving, she didn't forget to take Amelia with her.

…

"That felt amazing," Daniel said as he slowly opened his eyes.

A powerful energy radiated from his body, but it flickered and disappeared just as quickly, lasting only for a brief moment.

After he realized he was in the middle of nowhere, Daniel quickly scanned his surroundings. Neither Camille nor Amelia was anywhere in sight, leaving him slightly taken aback.

Daniel frowned. "What is she planning?"

It was clear that Camille had left, and she had taken Amelia with her. At the very least, that spared him the awkwardness of facing them after everything that had happened.

Daniel shook his head and made his way back to the city.
