"Xayne, you dare fight back? Do you think this is enough to stop me? Let me tell you something, this was just the opening move!" Alfonso roared, his voice booming like a thunderclap.With that, his sword swung in a wide arc. The beam of light erupted with such force it seemed to tear through the heavens. Clouds churned and swirled violently, the sky bending to Alfonso's will. The sheer magnitude of his strike left everyone stunned. This was the kind of overwhelming power that explained why Alfonso's name had remained legendary, even after twenty years of seclusion. When he finally returned, the heads of Wyncock circles and even the top business moguls of Drakonia had treated him like royalty."No wonder the Christy family has always looked down on Wyncock. To Alfonso, this is merely child's play," muttered Esmond, unable to suppress a sigh.As he watched the scene unfold, Esmond couldn't help but marvel. Among all the warriors present, Xayne had been the only one who might have had

It only took four strikes for him to take down eight Divine Commanders. As soon as those words were spoken, the crowd froze in disbelief. The sheer strength of Alfonso became unmistakably clear.Just then, Alfonso flicked his wrist, his sword twirling in a graceful yet deadly dance, creating countless brilliant arcs of light. Each arc shimmered with a force that seemed impossible to contain.In the next instant, the sky above seemed to split apart, revealing a cascade of enormous swords, each more massive than the last. The scene bore a striking resemblance to the one created by Esmond during his legendary sword technique years ago. But the energy radiating from Alfonso's attack made Esmond's Wind Spirit Limit Break feel like a faint echo.The overlapping images of colossal swords blurred together in the air, forming a single, towering blade that grew sharper with every passing second. As the sword solidified, streaks of lightning danced along its edge, electrifying the sky with bol

At this moment, Alfonso's anger had reached its peak.In all his years, he had never bled, not once. Through countless perilous battles, he had always walked away unscathed.Yet now, after twenty years away, returning from Heavenly Peak, Xayne had forced him to spit blood.Yes, his technique rebounded on him, but no one among the onlookers would understand that. If he didn't kill Xayne today, no one would respect Alfonso again. It wouldn't just be the elite fighters in Eukrania mocking him, even back home, in Drakonia, he'd become the punchline of every joke."Xayne, drop your weapon now! Or do you want everyone within a three-mile radius to perish with you?" Madoc's voice cracked as he shouted, his face red with panic.He wasn't concerned about the innocent civilians in the area. He was worrying about saving his life. After all, he knew the destructive power of Alfonso's technique better than anyone.Years ago, he'd witnessed a devastating storm that wiped out a battalion and a

The crimson sunlight bathed everyone in its eerie glow, aging them by more than a decade in an instant.No one understood what kind of formation this was. Everyone's hearts trembled with fear and disbelief. Even Xayne was not spared. Threads of white hair appeared on his head, and his aging progressed far faster than anyone else's.Watching Xayne wither before his eyes, Alfonso erupted into wild laughter. "Xayne, do you see now? I don't even need my sword to kill you! The Three Absolutes Formation is far beyond your comprehension! Let me enlighten you, this is the Earth's Absolute Formation!"Gasps rippled through the crowd as they absorbed Alfonso's revelation. The Earth's Absolute Formation could accelerate aging at such an incredible rate.Xayne, his face lined with wrinkles and his voice now hoarse and brittle, slowly raised his head. "According to the Christy family's interpretation, the Heaven Absolute Formation stirs storms and commands the wrath of the skies. The Earth's Ab

Xayne's grip faltered, and the Scarlet Dragon Lance fell to the ground with a resounding metallic thud."Xayne, how does it feel now? Still think the Christy family misunderstood the formation?" Alfonso burst into laughter, his confidence soaring.In his eyes, Xayne was already a defeated, frail old man. Even the weapon in his hand had betrayed him, falling uselessly to the ground. Such a decrepit figure could not pose any threat. Yet just as everyone assumed Xayne's demise was certain, he took a step forward.The moment his foot touched the ground, the world changed. The crimson sun that had dominated the sky began its descent. Scarlet rays dimmed, replaced by the soft glow of twilight. Stars emerged, shimmering in a deep blue sky, and a brilliant full moon rose overhead, bathing the earth in silver light."Time doesn't flow because of your formation, Alfonso. What you create is nothing more than a powerful illusion. The brilliance of the Christy family's formations lies in their
