Rhudamanth looked down at the battlefield. "Seems like it will take a while... before we can bargain."
With a thoughtful face, he glanced at Zaerina "Now that I remember it, there is that Husband of the cursed princess... whom Zhou Shan requested us to kill."
"Find him and kill him."
Zaerina nodded her head "Yes, Your Highness."
...
The battlefield trembled beneath the weight of the two Paragons.
Ji Shuang's gaze narrowed as lightning crackled at her fingertips, the air itself bending under her aura.
With a single step of the Infernal Paragon, the entire battlefield fractured, magma spewing from beneath its feet as it raised one of its massive claws.
The air superheated instantly, and then—
BOOM!
The claw slammed down, and a devastating shockwave blasted outward as molten rock exploded across the landscape.
But the strike never connected.
CRACK!
