"1!"
"FINE! I'm backing away, okay?!"
The unknown visitor cried out with venom on his tongue, "I won't bother you anymore, you asshole! At least wish me good fucking luck, huh!"
Finally, the faint torchlight began to dim. And Oli sensed the man slowly stepping back via earth essence.
Still, Oli shouted once more to the obnoxious, retreating competitor.
"Break your orb now if you're a coward! That's the best way for the fearful to survive down here."
"I will not!" barked the distant stranger. "I'll make it out of here no matter what!
"I've got plenty of good reasons to push on, unlike arrogant bastards like you!
"Hiding in the dark! You cowards!
"Screw you!
"... Wait till you get lost!
"... You'll see how it feels!
"... You cowardly apes…"
"... suck it…"
That obnoxious voice gradually faded out of earshot. Which prompted Kako and Yeter to speak up.
