Crystal's POV:

Rin successfully caught Beryl and safely landed on the ground. The little girl in Rin's mouth seemed to be startled. She didn't make a sound after landing on the ground. She just unblinkingly gazed at Rin. Rin tilted her head and watched my daughter curiously without saying anything.

They just stared at each other in silence.

I heaved a sigh of relief. Noting that my daughter was safe, I didn't waste any more time and shouted to Rin, "Protect her!"

Rin let out a howl, indicating that she was on the job.

Then I spun around to help Rufus. At this moment, he was tightly wrapped by the python's body, and only one hand remained free to resist its lethal mouth.

If Rufus became exhausted and couldn't resist anymore, the python would sink its fangs into him without hesitation. Its venom was highly toxic, and Rufus would probably die in seconds.

I didn't have the nerve to imagine that scenario. Without a second's hesitation, I turned into a wolf and charged at the python. I pierced my claws through its tail, trying to catch its attention. But it completely ignored me, its entire focus dedicated to dealing with Rufus.

I was flung away by the python's tail, but I persisted. I continued aiming my attacks at its tail, hoping to assist Rufus even just a little.

"It's not working. The python is very smart. It wants to tire all of us out and then capture us," Yana anxiously said.

I considered it for a few moments and said, "We need to find an opportunity for a sneak attack."

When I was tossed away by the

python again, didn't attack it. Instead, I took advantage of its distraction and climbed up the tree trunk till was level with its back. Then I turned back to human form and raised my dagger. I leaped forward, intending to incapacitate the python with one blow

Unexpectedly, the python seemed to sense some danger and moved to the side. My dagger only ended up grazing its scales.

I quickly aimed a forceful kick at its body and plunged my dagger into its tough skin. I gripped the dagger's handle firmly to stop myself from falling down.

At this moment, a huge force burst forth from the python's body. A cold gust of wind blew by, and the originally dark sky instantly brightened.

I could feel Rufus' lycan power.

The fierce force, which was like a sharp blade, ruptured the python's skin like it had been deep fried.

The python released a pained groan,

but still held on tightly to Rufus. It

released its brute power, even though Rufus' power had nearly charred its body to death. The python, which was now thoroughly irritated, twisted and engulfed Rufus increasingly snugly. As I watched Rufus be gradually enveloped by the python's winding body, I stopped breathing. I relived my nightmare from before where I saw Rufus wrapped in blackthorns.

"Rufus, are you okay?"

I called out to him, but didn't get a response.

My fear grew stronger. Filled with panic, I tried to pull him out.

After a few minutes struggle, I finally spotted his head. He was in a better condition than I thought he would be, except that his clothes and hair were a little disheveled.

"Are you okay, Rufus?" I was a little flustered. I was worried that he had other wounds on his body, so I grabbed his hand tightly.

In contrast to my nervousness, he

was calmer and even teasingly said,

"Why are you so concerned about

me? Shouldn't you seize this

opportunity to usurp the throne? It is an excellent chance."

I was so enraged that I met his eyes and glowered at him. "Are you a moron? Who cares about your throne?"

Rufus gazed at me, stunned. "Are you crying?"
