Knight Korda threw the girl to the ground.
Moments earlier, the butler Augusto had endowed him with a powerful force.
Now, Korda felt invincible and ready to confront Alan.
Using the girl's life as leverage, he demanded Alan to engage in a duel.
Alan observed them from the rooftop, sensing the familiar energy emanating from Korda.
It was a distinctive power, reminiscent of a deity who had once challenged and been defeated by Alan, and who hadn't dared to show himself for many years.
This piqued Alan's interest, as he was curious about the deity's motives.
In a hidden spot, Augusto held a small blue vial, silently praying for something.
His eyes were filled with a mix of fear and anticipation, hoping that his actions would lead to the downfall of the formidable Alan.
Korda had never felt as powerful as he did at that moment.
Every part of his body seemed to be enhanced.
