Atlas paused for a moment before continuing. "If I were you, I'd retreat, hide, and come back another day to seek revenge."
"Hah." Kaelzar let out a short laugh.
Now, they stood face to face as the moonlight began to fade, signaling the approaching dawn. Perhaps, by the time the battle was over, the sun would already be rising.
"To deal with a cowardly, weak lord like you, I have no reason to retreat, Atlas," Kaelzar said. "I could kill you and your entire army right here, right now. Or should I weaken you first, just enough so you can watch as I slaughter them one by one?"
Atlas remained silent for a moment before responding.
"For a lord who has suffered such a crushing defeat, you still know how to talk big, huh, Kaelzar?"
"Don't call my name so casually," he snapped, his tone sharp.
Atlas immediately took a battle-ready stance, his body crackling with an aura of water and lightning. His vision had become sharper than ever, allowing him to see every detail with precision.
