Chapter 5: The Shadow of the Ancient King
The storm of ash still swirled around Volt, and the guards of the "Celestial Legion" watched in horror as their silver armor began to crumble into dust. The old priest fell to his knees, dropping his staff as his eyes reflected nothing but the dark red glow of Volt's aura.
"You... you are not human, you are not even a demon," the priest stammered, his voice trembling. "What are you?"
Volt took another step forward, the ground vibrating beneath his feet. "I am the nightmare your gods hoped would never wake up." At that moment, the "Bundle" system flickered before his eyes with a new message: [Legendary Authority Activated].
Sai and Aki, standing at Volt's sides, felt the overwhelming weight of his presence. Sai sheathed his sword, knowing that the battle was already over. "I guess it's break time, Aki," Sai said, watching the countless guards frozen in fear.
Aki twirled his daggers and added, "Seriously, these elves are so boring, all they do is scream. Let's get to the capital quickly, I'm starving!"
Volt raised his hand toward the sky. Dark clouds gathered, and a bolt of black lightning struck the center of the Elven army. It wasn't just to defeat them, but to send a message to the Elven King: "The True Sovereign has returned, and he is here to collect his debt."
