Retribution

It was an awe-inspiring sight that made Rae's blood boil. The black-armored knight created a thousand steel swords in the sky before sending them flying at the emperor. Despite being almighty at the moment, not even the emperor could ignore this attack.

The Light Emperor was absorbing the mana in the plaza to strengthen his body, but this meant this his ability had only two advantages: hindering others and strengthening himself. Moreover, this strengthening came in the simple form of physical amplification.

As a thousand swords rained from the sky on him, all the Light Emperor could do was soar higher. Rae could see that he was using artifacts to fly, making it clear that he had no other abilities. However, as the Light Emperor, his artifacts aren't artificial.

Whoosh!
