Red lightning raged from his palm into her body, weakening her. He then applied pressure to her shoulder and forced her to her knees, her kneecaps slamming into the ground with a
massive…
BOOM!
Creating a small crater and causing the protective armor there to shatter. In that moment, everything fell completely silent. In the wastelands and even on the live stream, no chats were coming; everyone and everything witnessing this moment seemed to have their jaws
dropped, all paused, all shaken by what they just witnessed.
Anya was on her knees. The guild master of the strongest guild was kneeling before a masked man, and it didn’t look like she would be getting back up any time soon.
She couldn’t muster the strength to resist his push. Now, she found herself on her knees as he looked down on her with a look of disgust in his eyes.
The way he did it so calmly, as if it were second nature to him, sent shivers down her spine, causing her eyes to widen with shock.
Suddenly, she stopped trying, her gaze falling as she dropped her head down as if downcast, her hair causing the upper half of her face to be darkened.
Spade had made it clear that he was no longer holding back.
Finally, Marcus broke the silence, “Um… Correct me if my eyes deceive me but… Was guild master Anya… Just made to…”
“Kneel?”
The live chat erupted once more.
“This is insane! Spade just overpowered guild master Anya completely!”
“Did you see how fast he moved? Unbelievable! He literally vanished!”
“Do you guys think he’s going to kill her?”
“Isn’t this bad?”
“If Lady Anya is SSS rank, what rank does that make him since he defeated her?”
“Guild master Anya looks so shocked! I’ve never seen her like this!”
Marcus and Elena were equally stunned. Marcus could barely contain his excitement. “This suddenly became so one-sided. Spade is showing his true power, and guild master Anya doesn’t look like she can fight back! This is beyond anything we’ve seen before!”
Elena nodded, her eyes wide with shock.
“He can’t be a random nobody; he has to be some big shot to be able to bring her to her knees like that. Talk about the humiliation! Anya might be in real trouble here.”
Spade tightened his grip on Anya’s shoulder, his red lightning crackling menacingly around them.
“Remember this moment, Anya. This is what true power looks like. Now, for your next lesson, stay put, and don’t interfere.”
“An overlord’s orders are absolute. Do you understand?”
With that, Spade slowly removed his hand from her shoulder and walked past her. As he did, she remained there, not standing up, which surprised everyone who witnessed this, wondering if she was really going to listen to his orders.

The live chat was in shock.
“Is guild master Anya really staying down?”
“This is unreal. She’s just kneeling there!”
“Is the guild master of the Berserker Guild really going to listen to some random guy’s orders?”
Spade then turned his gaze towards the sky where Maila hovered, causing her to visibly shiver. He then said,
“It’s time to get this over with.”
Maila’s eyes widened in fear. Spade then said, “Come down calmly, I’ll make this quick.”
His directness surprised her. “Y-you’re crazy! Who do you think you are? Did you really expect me to listen to you?”
“Hmm, another one in need of discipline it seems,” Spade said, as red lightning began crackling violently around his body.
‘Now… How do I get her down from there?’
As Spade thought about how to deal with Maila, he sensed movement behind him.
Anya’s remaining team members were rushing in to save their Guild Master. Leading the charge was Halzor, his gauntlets glowing with intense mana.
“Get away from her!” Halzor roared, leaping into the air with a powerful jump, aiming a crushing blow at Spade.
Spade turned, his eyes narrowing. He effortlessly sidestepped Halzor’s attack, causing the ground to crack where Halzor’s fist landed.
Without missing a beat, Spade countered with a swift punch to Halzor’s abdomen, sending him skidding backward.
Halzor gritted his teeth, pushing himself up. “You’re not getting away with this!” fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Spade’s expression remained cold. “You should have stayed out of this.”
Thorin and Grimm rushed in next. Thorin’s fists crackled with mana as he charged, while Grimm used his earth manipulation to create a barrier, hoping to trap Spade.
Thorin swung a mana-infused punch at Spade, who caught it with one hand, his grip tightening, breaking the bones. He then twisted Thorin’s arm, intensifying the pain and forcing him to his knees before delivering a massive knee strike to Thorin’s chest, causing him to cough up blood as he was sent flying back.
Grimm’s barrier closed in, but Spade’s eyes glowed with his red mana. He activated Void Rend, slashing through the stone barrier effortlessly. Grimm barely had time to react as Spade’s void energy cut through his defenses, slashing off four fingers from his right hand because he wasn’t able to move away in time, knocking him to the ground as he screamed in
pain.
“Pathetic,” Spade said, turning his attention back to Maila. He needed to find a way to bring her down from the sky.
Meanwhile, Maila had been preparing her metal constructs, ready to launch an attack from above. She sent a barrage of sharp metal projectiles towards Spade, hoping to pin him down.
Spade raised his hand, summoning a barrier of earth to deflect the incoming attacks. The metal projectiles clanged against the stone shield, but some managed to cut through, grazing Spade’s arms, tearing his clothing, and revealing some white and black scales.
Nyra, moving stealthily, attempted to get behind Spade for a surprise attack. Her daggers gleamed as she aimed for his vital points.
Spade sensed her presence just in time, twisting his body to avoid her strike. He grabbed her wrist, twisting then breaking it, forcing her to drop her weapon.
“You should have known better,” Spade said, proceeding to send her flying with a kick to her
midsection.
Spade looked at the fallen members of Anya’s team and then up at Maila.
“Your turn.”
“Void Rend.”
