Grey and City Lord Albert stood far apart, yet the space between them warped violently.
Silver-purple Nexus energy surged around Grey, pressuring the incoming spiritual energy as faint circuit patterns flickered across his hands and body, blinking in and out of existence as he held his ground against his opponent.
Opposing him, Albert's spiritual energy rolled like a roaring sea, pressing outward with overwhelming pressure.
A 3rd ranker's power was no joke.
The sky and ground trembled under the sheer intensity of their released strength.
Even people far away, in other provinces, felt their presence, as if an invisible hand were squeezing the land and the sky itself.
Albert's gaze sharpened, and his voice echoed directly inside Grey's mind.
"Let's take this somewhere else. If we continue here, the province will not survive. Maybe not even the surrounding provinces."
Hearing this, Grey tilted his head, then nodded.
He had no objection.
