Chương 104: Chapter 104 : A clever trick

With a single punch, Alaric struck Elias with a force that was both powerful and unnatural, sending him hurtling across the throne room. He crashed into the wall just beside Queen Seraphina and Lady Selene, the impact sending cracks spider-webbing across the stone. Blood spewed from Elias's mouth, his chest caved in from the brutal blow. For the first time since Elias had stepped into this world, he felt real pain.

Queen Seraphina and Lady Selene rushed to his side. Lady Selene's voice trembled as she observed the scene. "This strength… it's not natural. King Alaric has grown too strong. This isn't human."

Queen Seraphina knelt beside Elias, her eyes wide with concern. "Elias, are you okay?"

Elias forced a smile, despite the pain. He glanced at his crushed chest, then back at the queen. "I'm doing wonderful. Tis but a flesh wound," he joked, trying to ease the tension.
