Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 411

Amid her pained cries, Kurt couldn't resist taunting her, his smile twisted with menace.

“You better not be planning anything. I could tear you apart with one hand!” His words were a chilling reminder of his physical superiority.

Carried along by him, Calista remained as still as if life had left her body. They moved several meters before a faint, incredibly weak voice emerged from behind Kurt.

“You thought... by disarming me, I wouldn't be able to harm you?”

Kurt, startled by the defiance in her voice, reacted instinctively by throwing Calista aside. She collided with the wall, the impact causing blood to trickle from the corner of her mouth as she slumped to the ground. Yet, despite the pain, a faint laugh escaped her lips.

In the dim light, there was a certain glow in her eyes. “I... I am the most powerful weapon...” she declared.

Initially, Kurt didn't grasp the meaning of her words. But then, a burning sensation rapidly spread throughout his body, the heat intensifying unnaturally.

“What's happening... to my body?” he gasped as the fever surged, overwhelming his senses.

Typically, the K Virus might induce a fever, but nothing as severe as what Kurt was experiencing. His previous injuries compounded his vulnerability, allowing the virus, transmitted through Calista's blood, to aggressively take hold. His once formidable strength ebbed away as he became weak and disoriented.

Blood! A sudden fever?

The realization dawned on him as he stared at his arm where Calista's blood had mingled with his.

Looking at Calista in disbelief, his eyes wide with shock, he could barely articulate his realization. “You...”

Lifting her head, Calista managed a weak but composed smile. “Just as you suspected, I'm infected with a deadly virus... You might as well call me the Annihilator of Death.”

As she slowly rose to her feet, Kurt, consumed by fear, staggered back, his body burning with the intense fever brought on by the virus.

The woman that he could have easily torn apart just moments ago had now slowly moved to his side, looking down on him from a position of superiority. The roles were now reversed; the predator had become the prey.

“The deadly virus will end with me... and you, you'll be the last to die from it. Feel honored?” Calista's tone was almost conversational as she reached for his gun with a casual gesture.

Kurt tried desperately to recover the weapon, but his coordination failed him, and he collapsed to the ground. Despite his efforts to rise, his body betrayed him, weakened by the K Virus' rapid assault.
