Uncle Acok sensed the strange energy, his brows immediately furrowed, and his gaze sharpened as if trying to pierce through the air around Al.
But he couldn't tell where this energy came from.
Meanwhile, the soldier who had been looking down on Al this whole time was trembling far worse than the others.
To everyone else, it looked like two people engaging in simple combat moves.
But to that man… a dense shadow loomed larger from Al's body, like a living black mist. Al's eyes blazed like twin red embers in the darkness, his gaze stabbing like a sword aimed directly at the heart. His aura no longer felt human—it was more terrifying than anything he had ever seen, or could even imagine.
What is that?! he screamed in his mind.
The man collapsed backward. His legs lost all strength, and his hands flailed around, desperately searching for support.
Even before Al made a move to attack, he suddenly screamed,
"NOOO!!! DON'T!!!"
