"What if I refuse to say?"
As the words fell, the air suddenly became silent. Although the Black Earl did nothing, everyone felt an overwhelming pressure coming at them.
This wasn't a suppression, nor was there any energy fluctuation. It was purely the sense of oppression created when a wizard's power reaches a certain height, leveraging the momentum of the World Will.
And to be able to leverage the momentum of the World Will, one must have already advanced quite far on the path of laws. This is a path towards Legend.
The Black Earl's sudden action was clearly a reminder to everyone that although he was very cooperative before, they shouldn't take his cooperation for granted. Don't forget, he is a wizard only a step away from Legend.
Angel, being closest to the Black Earl, felt it the most deeply. Moreover, the Black Earl was indeed targeting Angel.
However, the Black Earl had no intent to harm, so Angel wasn't injured, though his face turned a bit pale.
