The Iron Marquis’ Pride

The air was electric, a tempest raging both above and across the training field as it swirled downwards. Lassim's spiritual pressure bore was like a terrifying storm, forcing even the seasoned warriors among the guardsmen to their knees as its crushing weight rippled outward. Not only that, but the divine mana's presence made every aspect of the storm feel a hundred times more intense for everyone next to the field and even among the city far beyond the Vanthar estate walls.

Rain poured torrentially from the heavens, drenching the gathered crowd of soldiers, attendants, and servants who stood in stunned silence, their eyes locked on the center of the battlefield.

Lassim stood as the eye of the storm. His halberd glowed with fused mana, the swirling currents of lightning, water, and spatial distortion surrounding him in a chaotic yet controlled symphony.
