Chapter 154
"What the?!"
Ronan stared blankly at the glowing message in front of him, barely processing the words.
> The power of the Steele has been unlocked.
Skill: Usurper
Rank: ?????
Usurper has been used on your opponent.
Buster's power has been added to yours.
For a moment, Ronan didn't move. His face was void of emotion. Just silence—then stillness.
Buster, watching him from a few feet away, smirked. To him, Ronan's silence was expected. Familiar. Predictable.
Over the centuries, he'd seen this same reaction countless times. Survivors of the lives he'd ruined… all of them burning with vengeance… all of them ending the same way.
Crushed.
He'd break their hope, make them realize the futility of their resistance—then he'd kill them. That despair in their eyes, that delicious surrender—it had become his favorite sight.
He stepped forward, ready to deliver the final blow.
But something was wrong.
Ronan didn't look hopeless.
He didn't look afraid.
