Richard then stood up, walked to the window, and stepped onto the sill.
He gazed at an inn across the street—more precisely, at one of its rooms whose windows were tightly shut.
However, thanks to his wave perception, he knew that Austin was secretly watching him through a small hole in the wall.
Austin was clearly startled when Richard suddenly looked straight in his direction.
Whoosh!
Richard leaped toward the inn, activating the power of his Black Heart. Dark lines crawled across his skin, pulsing with sinister energy.
His jump looked effortless, yet his aura instantly turned oppressive, making everyone beneath him gasp for breath as he passed overhead.
Then, black scales grew over his fist, enlarging it to three times its normal size.
BANG!
He punched the wall of the room with immense force, shattering the magical barrier of its formation before pulverizing the wall itself into countless fragments.
Rumble!
The entire inn trembled uncontrollably.
