Opportunity
The Bone Serpent had clearly been preparing for this for a while. With how many battles there were going on at once, it wasn't too surprising that one might manage to sneak through with a blood crystal before anyone else could react.
However, there was no hiding the situation now.
The Bone Serpent was trying its best to remain calm, but Ryu could sense that the pressure it was under was enormous. Its Dao Heart was strong, but not nearly strong enough.
That said, maybe only Ryu would dare to say this. This fact that it had dared to do this when it knew what would happen as a result meant that it at least wasn't a coward.
But in Ryu's views, if you dared to do something, what was the point of feeling fear at that point? You would just be hindering yourself.
