The threat didn't work. The plan failed.
Shuan's face twisted with anger, but there was fear mixed into it too.
Loken's words pushed him past his limit. His grip tightened on his sword as his voice cracked with rage and desperation.
"NOW!"
His shout echoed like a whip crack. At once, his allies tensed, ready to carry out the "other" plan they had prepared earlier. Shuan stepped back using his movement technique, trying to put as much distance between himself and Loken as possible.
While moving, he pulled out an array disk from his storage ring. Ruan and the others copied him, each of them taking out their own disks with shaking hands.
But none of them got the chance to activate anything.
Loken finally moved.
The pseudo Core Formation Lord lifted his hand in a smooth, almost lazy gesture. His Core Formation aura surged like a crashing wave.
