Thick Face
Zulfiqar appeared in the skies, his aura alone causing the region around him to freeze. For a moment, it felt as though he was the center of the world and everyone and everything else revolved around him.
Esme retreated to Ryu's side before he had even appeared. While everyone else was enamored by the arrival of an Inheritor Disciple, Ryu was making sure that he didn't lose the only corpse puppet he had.
Though he could bridge the Immortal gap with the help of the Oneness Realm, he was definitely asking for too much if he thought that he could also use Esme to battle Zulfiqar, a true blue Path Extinction Realm expert.
Ryu lazily looked up into the skies. Under normal circumstances, Zulfiqar would have long since attacked him. This was a man that had no qualms about sneak attacking a person so much weaker than him in Ryu, the fact that he was speaking all this nonsense spoke volumes.
