As Arnold hurled Gadel into the turbulent river below, Aelion's fury ignited instantly. His eyes flared with anger, and he was ready to strike.
However, Arnold ignored Aelion's murderous glare, focusing solely on tossing Gadel into the swift current. Within a few breaths, the raging waters had swallowed Gadel's figure, leaving no trace behind.
"You're asking for death!" Aelion roared, his eyes blazing with a furious, almost frenzied light. His delicate hand lashed out at Arnold with a fierce blow.
If the strike landed directly, it would surely leave Arnold grievously wounded, if not dead. He, however, had ceased struggling as his strength had depleted. He could only watch helplessly as Aelion's strike descended.
In that fleeting moment, his gaze drifted to Jaylen, who lay injured and unconscious in the distance, and a somber thought crossed his mind.
Mr. Wills, I'm afraid I won't be able to treat you to that grand feast I promised...
Aelion's hand crashed down onto Arnold's armor. The impact caused the armor to crumple inward like paper beneath the force. He felt as if he'd been hit by a freight train, his body hurtling through the air before slamming into a massive tree near Jaylen. A sharp pain surged through him, and blood surged up his throat, spilling from his lips in a crimson arc.
Aelion looked at Arnold, who was incapacitated but not dead, with a cold smile on his face. With a final act of cruelty, he drove two jade needles into Arnold's and Jaylen's chests. As he sensed their life forces waning, he turned to leave.
His men had likely secured dominance over all of Everton by now. Soon, he would have complete control over Montiria. His eyes gleamed with ruthless ambition. Once he ruled Montiria, the so-called Dornia and Druira would eventually bow to its power.
"Aelion Hale!" Suddenly, a booming voice shattered the forest's eerie calm. "You treacherous traitor, your ambition will be your undoing!"
