"Valen, are you a traitor?" Ren asked.
The words of Ren froze the air between them as the room fell in heavy silence. Valen didn't turn around, while Ren kept his eyes on his back with one hand gripping his katana's hilt, ready for anything.
"What makes you say that? Me, a Warden of ZEAL who gave his whole life to protect this city?" Valen replied, finally cutting through the heavy silence.
A wave of violet and black aura emitted from him, pressing down like a storm. Ren gasped as his knees buckled and his body refused to move.
What….. What is this? He's not even touching me. Just his aura alone, it's crushing me!
Ren clenched his teeth, forcing himself to rise against the weight.
"So tell me, Ren, what makes you say that? Answer me!" Valen yelled with his voice full of rage.
