The Almighty Dragon General

Zeux exclaimed, “Invisibility?” Startled, Hador also turned around.

At that moment, a mysterious force pierced through the void and sliced a few strands of his snow -white beard.

While still confused, he noticed black, gray, and white lights before him.

They quickly merged and morphed into a handsome yet unfamiliar man.

The man held a jar of Chaos Absinthe in one hand and a few stands of snow- white hair in the other.

He grinned at them triumphantly.

“J-James?” Hador’s lips twitched, his eyes full of shock.

The youthful man took a sip of the Chaos Absinthe.

Then, lights with hues of gray, black, and white flickered before coalescing into the form of a middle-aged gentleman who radiated an aura of formidable strength and had an allure of maturity.

Hador stood in complete astonishment, utterly speechless.

Meanwhile, Zeux by his side was stroking his snow-white beard with evident satisfaction.

In the next moment, the middle-aged man transformed, assuming the exact likeness of Zeux, and imitated him, stroking his snow- white beard.

Hador pointed at the man and exclaimed, “This...this is unbelievable! I’m amazed.

So this is the true power of the Hongrome Hidden Bead?” As soon as the words left his lips, the man bearing Zeux's likeness suddenly faltered, reverting to James’ original appearance and stature.

He promptly seated himself in a lotus position on the ground, focusing on regulating his breath.
