In what looked like a grand training hall, three figures clashed violently, their swords meeting in a flurry of steel and power, sending shockwaves across the massive chamber. Every strike left devastation in its wake, the ground beneath them cracking slightly under the force of their relentless blows.
But this was no ordinary battle—it was two against one. And yet, contrary to what most would expect, the lone fighter was the dominant force in this fight. His two opponents, despite their combined efforts, were being utterly overwhelmed, struggling desperately to keep up. The gap between them was vast, their coordinated attacks failing to make a difference against his sheer skill. That single warrior who held the overwhelming advantage was none other than the Human Emperor, Aldrian Valtheris, facing off against two newly promoted Ninth-Stage Warriors—warriors who were supposed to be among the strongest in the empire.
