Matriarch Macie frowned and pressed down a palm. Blackmaul was caught before he smashed into the pillar, a soft cloud of Dark Mana stopping him.
"Your disciples are weak, and you don't seem to treat me the way you should. You aren't a very good Matriarch, now are you? If you were worried about me betraying you in the future and thus you're acting like this, you're only guaranteeing I'll do so in the future. A smarter person would stop pressing my buttons," Theron said coldly.
Theron's words caused the world to seemingly freeze over. The might of a Cloud Realm expert pressed down and many of the weak directly fainted.

"Your actions might have crippled him."
"And his actions might have killed me. But I'm sure you already knew that."
