Challenge

Ryu raised an eyebrow. The challenge came, but soon after, it shattered. 

He took a look at Adlael's pillar as it was forced a half step back and it seemed that his position was weakened considerably. The failed attempt at a challenge knocked down his Heavenly Favor by a peg and the position of his turn was pushed back. 

'It seems that my Heavenly Favor still counts as the same. It seems that no one will be able to challenge me.'

Ryu's indifferent gaze met Adlael's furious one as he vanished. He didn't have time to care about this person, he didn't even know where he was going right now. He might very well be going off to his death. He was sure that these folks would get a kick out of that. 

… 

Ryu appeared in a world. The moment he looked around, he sighed. He should have known better than to rely on his luck, but what other choice did he have, exactly?
