Night Fortress' Master (Part 2)

Abels condensed his blue ball and wrapped it around his left fist, imbuing his left fists with a death talisman. Su Xiao became the epicentre for a tornado. The surroundings stood still for a second. It happened so fast that Su Xiao didn't even have time for fear to manifest. Perhaps he'd only remember the blue flash and shattering pressure.

The pressure Abels imposed earlier on was child's play in comparison to his Evil Eminence Strike, a strike capable of tearing Su Xiao's skin off. Abels was never a man who let his emotions drive him.

Abels produced the blue glow again, extending its range and intensifying its output, making no effort to suppress the power. As a result, the blue ball started carving out a crater in the ground.

If there's someone helping you in the shadows… he'll show up now. Otherwise, you're all finished!

The escort was on the verge of annih
