Erend finally came face-to-face with the tall man he suspected of planning to invade their world. Now that they stood only a short distance apart, Erend could clearly sense the immense power radiating from the stranger.
The man showed no signs of injury or exhaustion despite his earlier encounter with Cody's team. He appeared to be in perfect condition, which made Erend even more certain that Cody and his soldiers would have suffered severe fatal injuries if they had continued pursuing him. They might even have lost their lives.
Billy and Captain Adrien could sense the man's strength as well. The three of them had landed several meters away from the stranger just as he dismissed his portal, which suggested that he had intended to return to his own world.
However, upon noticing their arrival, the man had abandoned that plan and turned to face them. His stance made it clear that he was prepared to fight if they stood in his way.
