Chapter 971: Psychological Warfare

With Kaaldrum's downfall at the hands of Kahn's unexpected and well-executed strategy, the tides of the battle had abruptly shifted.

The enigmatic and veiled assassin, whose true identity remained shrouded in mystery, had been taken down by a series of moves that he hadn't foreseen amidst the chaos of combat.

Atreus, the Water/Ice elemental brawler, emerged as the pivotal force behind Kaaldrum's defeat. His precise timing and powerful manipulation of ice had caused the once formidable guardian to crumble like a fragile sandcastle.

The shock of the sudden turn of events was evident on Kaaldrum's masked face, his hood unable to hide his surprise and torment as his body was rapidly encased in ice.

Struggling to find his voice amidst the freezing grip of Atreus' attack, Kaaldrum managed to rasp out a question filled with disbelief...

"You... How?" The pain and confusion in his words were palpable, a testament to the unexpectedness of his defeat.
