Arioch turned to the side to see Maximus approaching at high speed on a horse. Behind him was a wall of sand and above him were pillars of lightning. His eyes were glowing red as his dark horse marched forward.
He lived up to his name - Death on a horse.
Arioch's men darted towards Maximus and Arioch watched as bolts of lightning fell from the sky and attacked them. They all fell on the ground burnt to a crisp.
Arioch stood there stunned. This is the first time he is seeing the power of Maximus face-to-face. He has heard of the valor of the Brute on the battlefields and he never thought he is this powerful.
<He is wearing my face and carries the blood of ancestors. How come he so powerful while I couldn't summon up a single beast in past life even now?>
Arioch fisted his hands. His blood boiled as jealousy took over. Grabbing his sword, he ran at Maximus, letting go of Alexandra's hand.
