Whoosh!
King Maldrin was hurled fifty meters before crashing into a tree.
"Argh…" He groaned, clutching his throbbing chest. "Did my attack… fail?"
His eyes scanned the smoke and dust that clouded his vision.
Soon, the haze cleared, revealing the Cardinal of Greed—completely unharmed.
"Nice attack. But I'm far stronger now, King Maldrin. Sorry to disappoint," the Cardinal said with a soft chuckle.
King Maldrin's eyes widened in shock. "Impossible… How could he remain unscathed?"
The attack he had just unleashed was one of his ten strongest sword techniques: Dragon Roar.
Anyone struck by it would normally be split in two—or killed instantly.
Yet the Cardinal of Greed had withstood it effortlessly, fueling a surge of rage and burning hatred in King Maldrin.
"Don't be arrogant! I haven't even unleashed my full power!"
Boom!
The ground beneath him cracked, splintering outward for five meters.
A blue aura erupted from his body, spiraling into the sky in a violent whirlwind.
