Chapter 13 - Chaos in Wastle House

Andrian's voice echoed through the hall, filled with tension and authority as he confronted Sebastian.

"Who are you, and why are you here?" Andrian demanded, his gaze fixed firmly on Sebastian. His stance conveyed readiness for any possible threat.

Sebastian chuckled softly, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "Ah, so you're the famous Andrian," he replied, his voice laced with a hint of amusement. "I've heard quite a bit about you."

Andrian's grip tightened on his weapon as he maintained a defensive posture. "Answer my question," he insisted, his tone stern.

Sebastian's smile widened, revealing a glimmer of intrigue. "I am Sebastian, leader of the Black Mambas," he said calmly. "As for why I am here, let's just say I have a keen interest in observing extraordinary individuals like yourself."

Andrian's expression hardened, his gaze unwavering. "You have no place in this celebration," he declared firmly. "Leave now, or face the consequences."

Sebastian's laughter filled the air, sending a chill down the spines of those present. "Consequences, you say? How intriguing," he replied, seemingly unperturbed. "But I'm afraid I'll have to decline your generous offer."

As the tension mounted, the rest of the crowd watched anxiously, uncertain of what would transpire between the two formidable figures.

Andrian's focus remained unwavering, prepared for any move from Sebastian. The confrontation had taken an unexpected turn, and the outcome hung in the balance as both individuals stood their ground.

As Andrian and Sebastian faced off, their auras intensified, expanding and intertwining in the hall. The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, as if the very air itself crackled with their energy.

Andrian's aura emanated a powerful sense of determination and protection. It surged around him like a shield, radiating an aura of unwavering strength. His eyes glowed with a fierce determination, ready to defend those he cared for.

Sebastian, on the other hand, exuded an aura of enigma and darkness. His aura swirled around him like a cloak, casting an eerie shadow that sent shivers down the spines of those present. It carried an air of unpredictability and danger, hinting at the depths of his power.

The clash of their auras created a palpable tension, capturing the attention of everyone in the hall. Whispers of anticipation filled the air as the two powerful forces faced each other, locked in an unspoken battle of wills.

The room fell into an uneasy silence, the weight of their auras suffocating the space. All eyes were fixed on Andrian and Sebastian, waiting for the next move, aware that the confrontation between these two individuals held the potential to shape the course of events.

In that charged moment, the atmosphere hung on a precipice, the clash of their auras a testament to the power and intensity of their presence. It was a battle of not only strength but also of wills, as each sought to assert their dominance in this high-stakes encounter.

While the king observed the intense confrontation from upstairs, a faint smile played across his lips. He seemed unperturbed by the growing tension below, perhaps sensing something others did not.

As the auras of Andrian and Sebastian intensified, the crowd in the hall began to disperse, their instincts urging them to seek safety elsewhere. Only the fighters and guards remained, their dedication to their duties unyielding in the face of the escalating conflict.

Andrian, recognizing the need to ensure the safety of the king and his family, swiftly issued a command to his fellow guards. With unwavering determination, he instructed them to protect the king and his family at all costs. The guards, well-trained and loyal, immediately assumed their positions, ready to defend their charge from any potential threat.

The atmosphere in the hall shifted, now charged with both the lingering tension of the confrontation and the dedicated resolve of the guards. Their focus was clear: to shield the king and his family from harm, regardless of the unfolding circumstances.

Amidst the tension and anticipation, the king's smile remained, perhaps a reflection of his unwavering confidence or a hidden understanding of the events unfolding before him. His calm demeanor contrasted sharply with the building intensity in the hall, hinting at a deeper knowledge that lay hidden beneath the surface.

As the stage was set, the fighters, guards, and the enigmatic presence of Sebastian stood at a precipice, their destinies intertwined in this critical moment. The outcome remained uncertain, yet the resolve to protect and preserve remained steadfast, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

Sebastian tightened his grip and unleashed a surge of dark aura, channeling his power into a devastating strike aimed at Andrian. With a determined expression, Andrian swiftly raised his sword, infused with a brilliant blue aura, to intercept the attack. A resounding clash erupted, accompanied by sparks of light that illuminated the tense atmosphere. The impact pushed Andrian back slightly, testing his strength and resolve.

Undeterred, Andrian regained his footing and, with unwavering determination, raised his sword high, his voice echoing through the hall. "Unison Arts... ENTE!" he called out, invoking the spirit of the beast. In a magnificent display, a majestic blue lion-like spirit materialized above Andrian, its presence exuding power and authority.
