At the North Territory, a thunderous boom echoed in the sky before the skeleton soldiers were crushed into powder.
Everyone turned to look at the source of the sound. Then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Arlo and Arlan, instantly petrifying them with fear.
"N-Nash? How did you...?" Francis also looked at Nash, puzzled.
"Senior, leave this to me," Nash said as he gathered the Nirvana Fire in his hand and cast it toward Arlo and Arlan.
The two were so gripped with terror that they could only hide beside Ace.
"Lord Ace, please deal with this boy."
"Oh? Are you afraid of him?" Ace asked.
Arlo and Arlan reluctantly lowered their heads.
"Yes, my lord. Please take action. We are no match for him."
"Understood. Step back," Ace replied and walked forward slowly.
"Who are you?" Ace asked.
"I'm the son of the North Territory Warden and commander of the Celestial Dragon Squadron, Nash Calcraft."
"Oh, I see. I've heard of you," Ace said calmly. "I heard you're a major obstacle to our plans. It seems I'm quite fortunate."
"Fortunate? What do you mean?" Nash asked, puzzled. His eyes were fixed on Ace, who was approaching him continuously. This man had the same dark energy as Zaafea, but unlike Zaafea's which was sharp with hostility, Ace's dark energy seemed devoid of any enmity.
"Fortunate that I can get rid of you here and now!"
Ace's bone sword extended rapidly in a bizarre manner, reaching right in front of Nash.
Nash used his true energy to defend himself, then grabbed the bone sword and pulled Ace into the sky.
