"Let's begin, Spear Hero of Mankind! I will showcase the power of a demon who once suppressed three heroes from the previous era!"
Before Valen could react, Heidel, standing several meters away, suddenly vanished.
In an instant, he reappeared right in front of Valen, his appearance completely transformed.
What had once been a middle-aged man was now a black humanoid figure with terrifying red eyes.
Valen's heart raced at the sight of this transformation, and an inexplicable dread gripped him.
Subconsciously, he recoiled, but an incredibly swift attack suddenly struck his stomach.
*Thud!*
*Pufft!*
The force of the blow made Valen vomit blood, and he was hurled hundreds of meters before crashing into a massive sandstone boulder.
*Boom!*
The explosive sound of the collision was deafening, hinting at the intense pain he felt from the impact.
