Pressure of a King
The moment the commander released his mana, the entire ruin chamber trembled.
Cracks spread across the walls. Dust fell from the ceiling.
Even Leon took a step back.
"What the hell is that pressure…"
Kael felt it too.
This wasn't just strength.
This was experience.
Power refined through countless battles.
The commander walked forward slowly, his eyes never leaving Kael.
"You've grown quickly," he said. "But you're still far from your father."
Kael didn't respond.
Instead, he raised his hand.
"Abyss Domain."
Darkness expanded instantly.
But the commander simply raised his arm—
And the domain trembled.
Kael's eyes widened slightly.
"He's resisting it…"
The commander smirked.
"Impressive."
He drew his blade.
"But not enough."
In the next moment, he disappeared.
