FWOOOOOSH!
Nathan and Doombringer locked eyes, the powerful, raging flames still licking at him—or rather, his black armor. Behind Nathan stood Elvin, his face frozen in a mixture of confusion and shock. Anyone could easily tell that he hadn't expected to survive the terrifying flames that had instantly obliterated countless beasts.
In his dazed state, Elvin's gaze fell on Nathan's black armor.
That armor... I remember it! Elvin thought. It had been years since he last saw this armor, and he had long believed he'd never see it again.
This armor was a Emperor-Tier artifact personally bestowed upon Nathan and Brawn by the former king as a gesture of gratitude for the Silent Whisper's unwavering loyalty to the kingdom.
With such powerful armor, Elvin began to understand the reason for his survival.
Of course, unlike him, the rest of the guards on the walls had no idea about the significance of the armor and the history behind it.
