Not As Strong As Before
"What? Of course, not!" Akira strongly said as she got up from her chair, not expecting Damien to consider this seriously. She was sure Mira had already told him how strong Lehron's slave was.
Mira was surprised that he still wanted to take up this challenge despite knowing the strength difference. He wasn't even in the Profound Ethereal Realm, and yet he was already dreaming of taking on someone at the Profound Ethereal Realm.
How foolish could he be? What was he trying to prove, or was he simply saying this to gain recognition from his aunt, knowing that she won't let him fight?
Damien didn't expect his aunt to get so worked up, but this made him reaffirm that Lehron's slave must be no joke.
Still, he was firm in his decision as he said calmly, "Aunt, I know you are worried something might happen to me if I accept it. But Mira doesn't have to lose her hands just because she tried to protect me."
