Chapter 402 He’s Still Got It
“Stop right there!” James roared, and in the middle of his charge, he unleashed a devastating blast straight at Steven’s group.
Alan didn’t even flinch.
He simply turned and swung his blade, slicing the energy cannon apart and detonating it midair.
Boom!
The thunderous explosion echoed across the area, sending weaker beasts scattering in panic.
The strike also drew the attention of several nearby Awakened squads.
Behind them, Warstar Squad and Silverion Phalanx were already closing in.
Not long after.
Steven’s group reached an open stretch of land, two to three miles wide, like a grassland.
When Alan arrived, he stopped running.
He turned to face the rapidly approaching James.
Under his breath, he said, “Steven, Edric, hold the line. I’ll deal with them. Just watch for sneak attacks.”
“Got it!”
“Got it!”
The group quickly formed up.
They closed ranks around Darlene and Olivia, with Steven and Edric taking point.
Olivia’s expression was complicated.
Coming back to Orroux meant endless conflict.
Too many people had once been suppressed by Alan.
Back in those years when Alan kept a low profile, God knows how many had secretly celebrated.
They had all pushed themselves to evolve, hoping to surpass him. If he hadn’t formed Team Ashen and gone to Rowenville, things might have been even worse.
Steven stood firm with his weapon, eyes fixed ahead, his expression serious.
James was already charging in.
Alan gripped his ring–hilt saber, calm as ever.
James burned with rage. After all these years, he was finally seeing that same lifeless face again.

The first time they met, this man had killed his brother.
It was unforgivable.
He’d make him pay in blood.
James shouted, “Why did you kill my brother?”
Alan flicked his blade.
He didn’t bother answering.
His aura surged outward.
It was an overwhelming presence, the kind that made people instinctively yearn for that level of power.
Steven watched Alan, a surge of longing rising in his chest. He needed to reach that level, and fast.
With his other hand, he gripped a divine crystal, unwilling to waste the moment. The evolution of his Wind–Fire Divine Sigil couldn’t stop.
Alan said coldly, “Still no improvement. You talk too much.”
James exploded with fury. “I’m gonna kill you!”
He stomped down and shot forward in an instant.
Alan moved at the same time.
The battle erupted!
Under the watch of both teams, the two captains collided head–on.
Alan’s long blade slammed against James’s staff.
Boom!
Wind and Abysswater clashed, forming two opposing barriers/
Bang!
Another explosive impact rang out.
Both were sent flying back.
James roared, “Do you really think you’re still the same Alan as before?
“Callum, take them out! Kill those nobodies! I want them buried with my brother!”
At the same time, James charged Alan again, his black–gold staff spinning as the power of Abysswater surged through it.
A cold light flashed in his eyes.
He slashed horizontally.
The blade carried a dazzling brilliance, driven forward by a raging storm.
It formed a crescent arc of light that descended instantly before them.
In that split second, all 11 of them went pale.
It was too fast.
They all moved to defend at once.
But the blade light arrived in an instant.

It struck them head–on.
Boom!
Under the shocked gazes of Steven’s group and the two squads behind them, all eleven were sent flying..
Steven was stunned.
It was overwhelming.
Among those 11, 6 were Divine Generals, and the remaining 5 Divine Knights were all above level 35.
Yet even with that level of strength, they couldn’t withstand a single strike from Alan.
All of them were blown back.
The five Divine Knights coughed up blood, their faces turning pale instantly.
Does Captain Alan not have a limit at all?
Warstar Squad and Silverion Phalanx, watching from behind, were equally shaken.
Alistair swallowed hard. “You saw that, right? Still thinking about going in? That guy’s a complete monster.
Three wasted years, and he’s still got it.”
