After giving their congratulations to Aurelion, Voltrex and his brother decided to let him spend this occasion with his family.
The duo left Everbloom Peak, reaching Heaven's Last Step—the mountain where the Thunderbanes resided.
Unlike normal royal palaces, where the main gates were closely guarded by the finest knights of the empire, the royal gates at the peak of Heaven's Last Step were completely unguarded. The sheer prowess of Voltrex was compared to that of the gods, and nobody in their right mind would dare invade the home of the strongest man on the Eastern Continent.
The moment Voltrex pushed open the royal gates, a sudden flux of golden lightning fell upon him.
Just as the lightning reached a hair's breadth from his body, Voltrex moved sideways in a blur, letting it strike the floor.
"Take that!" A sharp child's voice echoed, followed by the sharp tip of a sword descending upon Voltrex.
