He publicly used a Beyonder Ability to kill a Black Blade standing at the center of the stage. It should have been an extremely serious incident, yet no one paid it any attention.
At that moment, all the Beyonders turned in unison toward the hotel's attached exhibition hall, where power at the Angel level was being unleashed without restraint.
As for the ordinary people, although they found it strange that the impassioned speaker had suddenly fallen silent, the brief instant gave them no time to understand what had happened.
Then, with a thunderous boom, a pillar of flame descended from the sky, piercing through the "castle" from its roof all the way down to the first-floor lobby. Not only did it bore straight through the seven-story hotel, but it also caused half of the main structure to begin collapsing.
And this was merely the aftermath of the battle between the Soren Family's last Angel and the Red Angel Evil Spirit, who had appeared here for some unknown reason.
The Beyonders and ordinary people in the lobby instinctively tried to look outside through the breach.
But at that moment, Abner had already reverted to his true form and acted again, carving out a Hidden Space within the hotel and trapping most of the guests and the low- and mid-Sequence members of the Beyonder teams inside.
Of course, rather than trapping them, it was more accurate to call it "protection."
Next, he turned his gaze toward the two "important figures" who had come specifically to attend the Twilight Day Celebration:
Duke Graycastle, Wimbledon Einhorn, father of Nashali, the student of Miss Greed;
And Ivan Andronik, the new Archbishop of the Church of Combat, whose origins were suspicious.
Wimbledon had distinctly red hair and handsome features, looking far younger than his actual age.
