As Nathan stared intently at the mysterious Allfather, the suspicion within him deepened.
Other than finding the figure and his voice familiar, Nathan also felt as if he had seen the latter's martial arts technique before.
All of a sudden, he was struck by an outrageous thought.
Nonetheless, he dispelled the idea and told himself that it was absolutely impossible.
At that moment, Nathan suspected that the Allfather was his master, Lothar.
As for Lothar, the same sentiment began to grow within him.
He, too, found the young man in the dragon mask familiar and wondered if the man was his disciple, Nathan.
However, he quickly cast the thought out of his mind, as Nathan was now the president and Chief Military Governor of Eurasia.
Given his distinguished role, there was no way he would take the risk of being there in person.
In spite of that, the possibility of the man in the dragon mask turning out to be Nathan continued to unsettle him.
As a result, both master and disciple were mired in their own doubts.
Nathan asserted coldly, “Whether it is a pipe dream or not, we won't know until we try. I wonder if you even dare to take me on in battle?
With his hands behind his back, Lothar snorted in disdain.
Thereafter, Lucian, the Golden Knight and the brashest among the Five Heavenly Guardians, stepped forward immediately.
“Allfather, it would be overkill for you to personally take on this rogue. Let me deal with him instead. Once I skin him alive, I'll present his remains to you.”
Upon hearing Lucian's offer to challenge Nathan, the high and mighty Lothar gave him a nod. “Go ahead.”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Clad in a golden knight's armor, the strong robot-like Lucian strode up to Nathan with a giant sword in hand that weighed a hundred pounds.
“Take this! Split the Red Sea!”
Lucian's voice rumbled like thunder.
After gathering enough speed, he leaped into the sky. With his giant sword raised above his head, he swung it down at Nathan's head.
Slashing the sky in half, the sword bore down upon Nathan with an earth-shattering force.
Faced with the impending attack, Nathan stood still with no intention to dodge. Instead, he calmly waited for the sword to make contact.
Meanwhile, everyone present held their breaths in suspense as they anxiously watched the scene before them unfold.
Even Lothar observed them with a curious gaze.
Is the man in the dragon mask too petrified to dodge or does he simply have no fear? If it's the latter, he must then be truly powerful, as very few in this world dare to underestimate the Heavenly Guardians!
