Dawoodar was a few steps away from Richard, yet Richard did not take a step back
Rather, it seemed that he did not intend to back down in the first place
With eyes shining with killing intent and hair ablaze with a green flame, He only gave a smile worthy of an ancient villain and stood still.
The aura of madness that surrounded Dawoodar did not lose to Richard in the slightest as well. He continued pushing forward with wide-open eyes as if he were a beast who came here only for killing and could not see, hear, or speak.
Under the influence of intense killing intent from both sides, the temperature of the area suddenly dropped and everyone felt a chill in their backs. The battle between the Martial Emperors of the two sides stopped.
It's not like they agreed to stop and watch what happens between Richard and Dawoodar, they just forgot to continue their fight and diverted their focus on that battle near the palace.
