My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2443

With slight embarrassment, Teresa said sheepishly, "Was I being rather childish with what I just said earlier?"

"Maybe," Chevy said coldly.

"Huh? Really? Oh, I'm so embarrassed..." Teresa's face turned beet red.

Chevy said nothing, but he knew in his heart that not just Teresa but even he was saved by the friends around him.

...

"Enid, where are you?!" Anox kept shouting as he walked toward the west.

Suddenly, a reflected ray of light flashed before him.

Anox was quick to react. He swiftly rolled aside to avoid the sudden attack. He turned to look at the damaged ground, where he saw a tiny marble-like object.

That unknown object was still spinning at a high speed.

Anox looked around cautiously as he murmured to himself, "A hidden weapon? No, that marble is abnormal. It should be a ritualistic weapon. Could it be an artifact?"

"As expected of someone from the Dunes." At this moment, Huntley walked out of a thick bush on the side.

Anox asked, "Who are you? Where's Enid?!"

Huntley was happy to oblige the questions as he reported his name without any care, "I’m Huntley Twigg."

"The Twiggs from Hildeford?"

These marbles were so strange. They did not seem to have any other abilities. Was it just a simple energy attack? No, if that were the case, then why were the surrounding trees intact?

There was absolutely no way that the marbles started to accelerate when they got near to him. He noticed it when he was attacked just now. The trajectory of the marbles was actually absorbing the surrounding true energy, but the energy in his body was untouched.

That was what was happening!

Anox was no longer using basic defense. He used his true energy to strengthen himself and then swiftly used his fist to engage in the first wave of head-on confrontation with the marbles.

The result was exactly as he expected.

The marbles could only absorb natural true energy. They could not absorb the true energy produced by humans. Anox's attack could cause direct damage to the marbles.

Just as he was fighting with one marble, the two others attacked him from behind.
