226 Fate Luck of the Siblings
In a futile effort to resist the imminent danger, the Beard Gang group fought the serpent.
They released their martial spirit and used the most powerful techniques in their arsenal.
"Wind Bomb!"
*Bang!*
"What the?! It didn't even leave a scratch!"
"What did you expect otherwise?! This is a Tier 6 monster!"
Unfortunately, the serpent's fierce assault overwhelmed them.
Suddenly the serpent hissed and whipped its tail.
*Swift!*
"Watch out!"
The saw it coming but they were too slow and were all whipped to a wall.
*Bang!*
*Bleargh!*
The five of them vomited blood on impact and only Philia and her brother were away from the fighting zone.
The serpent hissed again and a poisonous red mist enveloped the five and spread to the other parts of the cave.
Arthur predicted this and gave antidotes to the Kaiser and the other two.
"Take this."
They nodded gratefully.
The poison of the serpent was too strong and everyone was powerlessness to resist and it rushed and devoured the 'food' in front of it.
Swiftly, three members were consumed, leaving only Kevin and Alvin, the original Beard Gang brothers, alongside Philia and Toki her brother.
To everyone's surprise, the serpent suddenly set it's eyes on Philia and flicked its tongue.
The brothers rejoiced silently at their postponed death but also prayed in their hearts for the girl.
As the spirit beast rushed to where the siblings were, the young boy surprisingly attack.
"Oh no you don't!"
*Boom!*
The boy exploded with a shocking speed and landed a punch tha sent the serpent flying.
*Bang!*
"Touki stop! You can't use that power!"
The once-dangerous cavern now echoed with the tension of the battle within.

Amidst the clearing mist, Arthur assessed the aftermath of the serpent's defeat.
The Beard Gang brothers lay unconscious, their lives hanging by a thread due to the insidious poison.
The girl, coughing up blood, and her wounded brother pleaded with desperation in their eyes.
"Please, sir," the boy implored, his voice desperate, "save my sister. I'll do anything, repay you with my life if needed."
Arthur turned to look at the girl instead .
The girl suddenly shook head and interjected, her voice weak but determined. "The poison is rare and deadly. To counteract it, we need an ancient herb, one that might not even exist in the Central Continent."
Arthur's interest was piqued.
With a subtle motion, he activated his Fate Gaze power, examining the intricate threads of their providence.

"This spirit beast has an ancient bloodline and if not for the fact that it's original bloodline is very faint we would already be dead."
The girl was sure that no one on the southern continent can help her.
'Maybe the Empire can have a way to help or the Alchemist Association but...' of course she thought those people would not care about her.
The depth of the girl's knowledge about the serpent spirit beast and the poison it carried surprised Arthur. He asked, "Are you an alchemist?"
She shook her head, "No, I can't practice alchemy, but I've studied extensively. I know about herbs, poisons and medicines."
A thoughtful expression crossed Arthur's face as he considered the value of these siblings.
With a subtle motion, he activated his Fate Gaze power, examining the intricate threads of their providence.
The Beard Gang brothers, surprisingly had a red carp fate, indicating that their lives were not ending now.
However, the two siblings revealed an even rarer fate.
The girl's fate manifested as a blue dragon, while her brother's fate was an exceptionally rare violet dragon with nine claws.
These revelations intrigued Arthur.
The rarity of their fates, combined with the girl's profound knowledge, hinted at their potential but more than that.
'Their origins won't be simple,' Arthur thought.
With a calculated decision, Arthur resolved to assist them.
"I will save your sister," he declared, his voice carrying a hint of authority. "But on the condition that you will work for me from now on."
The boy nodded fervently, gratitude shining in his eyes. "I swear, sir, we are in your debt."
The girl however furrowed her brows, 'Did he not hear what I said? Moreover I don't even know your identity,' she complained in her heart but still wished he could help her predicament.
