Chapter 26: Riana Elin 4
(Orlax POV)
I sensed the presence of several hidden individuals, so I quickly pulled Riana behind me and waited for them to appear.
Each of them emanated a feeling of danger, and I guessed their level was [Master] level.
"You're Orlax Tirshtain, right? [The Golden One]sends his regards."
'The Golden One? Who is that? I've never heard of someone with that title before.'
As soon as I saw them raising their hands, preparing for an attack, I felt imminent danger.
'This is bad! If this strike hits me, it might kill me instantly.'
I began gathering energy in my body until it was concentrated in one place, draining myself completely of mana.
My entire body felt weak, my vision grew heavy, my breathing quickened, and my heartbeat raced.
This was the first time I truly felt danger since arriving in this world.
This moment made me realize—I am human too. No matter how strong I become, there will always be limits to what I can do alone.
