Chapter 13 - Heavenly Sovereign Slash Transmission

the air thickening with anticipation as residual mana hummed faintly from Abraham's transformation. He unsheathed the imperial sword with deliberate slowness, the blade whispering free—its edge a mirror of polished obsidian, etched with coiling dragons that seemed to stir under the dim torchlight. "Kneel," he commanded, voice resonant like distant thunder rolling through mountains. Abraham dropped to one knee, the key's chill still lingering in his palm, his newly empowered veins pulsing in sync with the master's qi aura.��The master began with breath control, eyes half-closed in meditative focus.

Exhale dominion, expanding it through meridians as unyielding as throne-forged steel." He demonstrated, chest rising subtly; golden qi mist coiled visibly from his pores, forming a faint dragon silhouette that encircled the blade without touch. The air grew heavy, pressure warping nearby dust motes into spiraling orbits. Abraham mirrored it, feeling his mana injection-enhanced core ignite, raw power straining against untested channels.��
