The 8th
"You're the Lord of the Southern Ice Mountains, the Awakened who removed the Chaos Essence that took root in Xiltra, aren't you?" Michael asked Taros after spending a few minutes in a stalemate situation with Tac Lec and Taros.
He actually wanted to leave now that he collected most corpses, but his curiosity held him back.
Michael wanted to know if Taros' strength was mostly based on his unsealed Divine Beast bloodline, or if his Soultrait was the reason he was so strong.
There was something odd about Taros, and Michael wanted to unravel the mystery.
"You don't look like a Lord of the Zentika Empire, so how do you know that Chaos Essence took root in Xiltra?" Taros asked with a strong dialect of the origin language.
He didn't seem to be used to speaking in the origin language often, given that his voice was hoarse and he seemed unfamiliar with the pronunciation of the words he used.
