Knight Lynus bore extreme caution towards the person standing in front of him. He was very well aware of the strangeness that permeated this place.
He might have been acting on arrogance since the first moment he got here, but it didn't mean he was blind to the fact that this seemingly worthless and weak human had a soul scape. To Lynus, the word was so strange; however, the atmospheric might of the void palace alone was enough to make him shudder in awe.
The burning flames, the colossal and intimidating pillars, the two monsters that stood behind like horrific statues—all of it coalesced to inform their brains of one single thing: power.
And its realization was so infuriating that someone of Lynus's caliber couldn't help but react with arrogance.
He was regarded as the hope of the Empire; he was a Sage, very close to becoming an Ascendant. He was sure that when he finally became one, the Emperor would finally look at him.
