Ace's expression instantly taut when he heard Cyrus calling someone 'strong,' which means at least an Ascension Solider-level existence!
"Is it stronger than you?" Ace hurriedly asked as he was ready to spend another precious teleportation talisman.
However, Cyrus confidently replied, "No, it is as strong as my talons! And I didn't sense any bad intentions. Do you want me to burn it?" He excitedly asked.
Ace was somewhat speechless when he heard this strange comparison, but he quickly shook his head, "There is no need to fight meaninglessly. It might be some curious beast who's observing us, and it hasn't attacked yet because it might've sensed your presence like those rhinos pulling Pascal's carriage. Just keep observing for now, and it might give up soon. But if it didn't, then…" His eyes turned cold as Cyrus's words put him at ease.
