Aldrich did not waste any tih Volantis Valera stayed close to his side, burnry in its fla ferocity She could hitch a ride with Aldrich or just air ju to be hard to s, even if it was fortified to withstand awith a punch or two

But before Aldrich ju up a covering of concentrated power that spanned across the entirety of the ceiling In fact, he did not need to use the energy vision at all

The energy was clearly visible to just the naked eye, showing as a solid screen of grey It was a shade of grey that Aldrich recognized A type of energy he had seen before Back in the Judicata It was –
