Drakthar's cruel laughter echoed through the battlefield as he toyed with his fallen adversaries. Zhang Wei and Elara, leaders of the resistance force, knelt before him, battered and defeated. Their valiant efforts to thwart the demon advisor's ruthless assault had proven futile, and they now found themselves at the mercy of his sinister whims.
Zhang Liang watched the scene with mounting desperation. His comrades were in dire straits, and he couldn't bear to see them suffer any longer. His hand instinctively reached for his weapon as he prepared to rush to their aid. But before he could take a step, a firm but reassuring hand landed on his shoulder.
Startled, Zhang Liang turned around, his eyes widening in surprise as he beheld the regal figure standing before him. It was none other than Zenki, the esteemed Emperor of Avaloria. Dressed in the attire of a cultivator, Zenki's presence radiated authority and resolve.
