Chapter 324: Beating Grand Duke Larson
Grand Duke Larson was stunned, but with his quick wit, he countered with his own technique. A purple flame burst from his palm, colliding with the flame that emerged from the spatial crack.
Clap, clap!
"Well, it’s better for you to act yourself and show your true self," Aldrian said while clapping beside Carol. From the start, he had been with Carol, acting as her guardian. None of the Duclan family members knew his identity, but Carol insisted that he would protect her. Many doubted that a marquess-stage cultivator could keep Carol safe, yet she stood firm in her belief in Aldrian.
If she doesn’t believe in the person who saved her and destroyed Boraz Fortress, then who is she supposed to believe?
Right now, Grand Duke Larson was blocking the fire from the spatial crack with his own flame. However, from his flame, everyone could sense an energy that was all too familiar to the populace of the continent.
The devil energy
Grand Duke Larson had already turned into a devil! His purple flame was so intense that it caused the spatial crack to wobble slightly, the heat distorting the space itself. After successfully blocking the attack, Grand Duke Larson decided to target Aldrian personally. Joined by the Grand Elder, they unleashed another powerful technique together.
The Grand Duke unleashed his purple flame while the Grand Elder summoned his original dark red flame. The combination of red and purple flames formed a terrifying vortex, surging toward Aldrian and Carol.
However, Aldrian calmly unsheathed his peak heaven-grade sword—a sword he had forged back when he was in the Forgeheart Kingdom—and slashed it toward the flaming vortex.
Unknown to his opponents, Aldrian had already established his domain within the mansion earlier, allowing him to stand against these emperor-stage cultivators.
Within his slash, Aldrian infused the combined power of several domains he had created inside this empire. The force was overwhelming, powerful enough to cut the flame vortex that holding the strength of a high emperor stage cleanly in half.
