Lucius smirked, his silver eyes cold and sharp as he watched Hadrian's energy swirl in the air.
"Is this it?" he asked, his voice steady.
He tilted his head slightly, watching the light and power gather.
His hand rested casually on his hip, the other hand loose at his side.
"Now let's be more serious," he said. "I'll show you the power of Divine Tier."
Lucius raised his hand, his palm glowing with silver energy.
"[Luxorite World]," he said calmly.
The mana in the air twisted, sucked into Lucius's hand.
The energy Hadrian had gathered trembled and faded, the light flickering and dying before it could reach its peak.
The air grew still.
Hadrian's eyes widened, his breath catching.
"How… how can it be?" he gasped, his claws trembling.
Lucius's smirk never wavered.
"How can it be?" he repeated, his voice mocking.
"Of course it can—because I'm here."
He shifted his stance, his silver hair flowing behind him.
"But still, you're so stupid, huh?" he said.
