Chapter 25

• Augustine's dark figure was hidden among the twisted branches and thick foliage, his eyes glinting with anticipation as he watched the men he had sent to attack Aeron. He knew that their mission was doomed to fail, but he was curious to see Aeron's reaction for himself. The men concealed themselves, ready to carry out their orders.
• He observed Aeron as he strolled along the path, his features calm and unwavering as the men sprang into action, spraying the substance with a hiss of pressurized canisters. Despite their efforts, Aeron showed no reaction. Augustine smirked to himself, admiring Aeron's strength and resilience. "Impressive," he muttered under his breath, his sinister grin widening.
• Suddenly, Aeron’s posture stiffened, and Augustine's eyes widened with eager anticipation. Aeron’s abilities were even greater than he had imagined. The men who had dared to assault him would soon face a swift and brutal retribution.
