Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2094

Henry sneered. "Mr. McDaniel Senior, Your Eminence… Why don't we set aside our differences and kill this bastard first? You've already seen how twisted and dangerous he is. If we let him walk out of here alive, then in the future, it'll be either your deaths or mine. I'm sure you both understand this simple truth."

He was already terrified that even the thought of seizing Shiloh had been shoved aside. Andrew had to die, or he would never sleep peacefully again.

Nicholas did not answer. Instead, he looked toward Alistair.

Alistair raised his head slightly, and in that instant, Andrew caught a glimpse of the face beneath the hood. It was shriveled and wrinkled like a corpse, yet the man's eyes gleamed with unnatural brilliance.

That was the mark of someone who had pushed his power nearing perfection.

This old monster was, without question, only a step away from becoming a martial emperor.

Alistair's gaze flickered as he said, "Inferno Strike is a technique passed down from Apollo West, once the greatest martial arts master of Holtrien! It's strong indeed; excessively strong and domineering.

"But you're still too young. Your cultivation is deeper than monsters who've trained for 70 years. That is a miracle, proof you are anything but ordinary. But no matter how gifted you are, human strength has its limits. Today, I stand here with Mr. McDaniel Senior and Dorian at my side. No matter what you do, you won't be able to turn the tables."

By the end, Alistair's voice thundered with overwhelming killing intent. He thought the same as Henry: Andrew must be eliminated.

The Crimson Flame Cult's ambition was nothing less than conquering Holtrien's martial world. Yet on their very first step, they had stumbled into this immovable obstacle.
