The Mountain can never bend

Most of the people present were in total admiration of Kor's resolve. Also, even though they hate to admit it, it was painfully obvious that their hero wasn't a match for Ren. The half-dragons felt great respect for Ren, as it was in their genes to admire the powerful, and Ren was the most powerful person they have seen. 

Valdel could only sigh as he watched the scene before him. Ren was like a force of nature, once he was going at it, there was no way to stop him. Ren was already at the point where he would no longer listen to anyone. Ren was that kind of existence, he might not be evil but he was not good either.

Lara who was watching Ren sighed, now that she has all the memories of Evangeline and her other reincarnations she knew more about who Ren really was. She understood that though he was different in some ways from his past incarnations, the core of their self was the same.
