Draken, his gaze filled with disdain, sneered at Atlas. "No matter how strong you are," he spat, "you are still just a naive child."
Atlas, consumed by a wave of fury, could barely contain his rage. The leader of the underworld, defeated and humiliated by a mere clan. The thought was unbearable.
Draken continued, his voice dripping with condescension. "Your plan was not bad, using our clan to grow stronger. I don't know what item or technique you and your companions were using, but you three were gaining strength at an alarming rate. It terrified us."
Atlas held his breath, anticipation building within him.
"However," Draken paused, "one small detail destroyed your plan."
Atlas's heart skipped a beat, his attention laser-focused.
Draken delivered the final blow. "You shouldn't have chosen our clan as a target. After all, our clan belongs to the Eclipse Order!"
Atlas's eyes widened in shock and disbelief.
