Two pairs of eyes collided in the air.
One pair was crimson and indifferent. The other was black, yet filled with majesty.
Silence shrouded the entire hall as neither of the opposing parties spoke.
The auras clashed fiercely, causing the entire palace to tremble, though it was obvious that the man held the absolute advantage over Liora.
He seemed to have realized it. And thus, he took advantage of it.
The stalemate lasted for just a split second before he took action.
Another wave of energy erupted from his body, condensing into a hand.
Unlike the ones that had killed the Emperors, this one was much smaller.
Yet its strength had not diminished in the slightest.
If anything, the fact that it covered a smaller range made its power even more terrifying, as though the separated power had been compressed together.
Its speed remained as incredible as before.
One moment it was above the unknown man.
The next, it had appeared in front of Liora and directly struck at her body.
