Since when did this guy become this powerful?
Rudner couldn't believe it.
When they last saw each other decades ago, Ignatius was significantly weaker than him. His flames weren't that much of a threat to him and there was also a gap in their physical attributes.
However, the person in front of him was no longer the same man. He had grown into a much more formidable expert, one who could threaten his life.
Rudner had been fighting at his full strength, but he had never held the upper hand.
"What's wrong? Do you realize it now?" Ignatius chuckled disdainfully when he saw the changes in his opponent's expression.
Rudner snorted. "You may have grown a bit more powerful, but this strength is far from enough if you want to defeat me."
"You still won't admit it, huh? Stubborn old fart!"
"In that case, I won't hold back anymore!"
Ignatius released more mana from his energy core to summon a humongous ball of flame.
