Salvos replied to Soverick confidently, "That was in the past. Things have changed. I have changed and I will defeat you today."
He has no shame. Besides, things have changed. Soverick was a beginner mana entity back then while he and his siblings were about to become transcendents. Now they are transcendents while Soverick is a king of law. Things have changed since then.
Their divine abilities have increased in power after awakening further. Salvos has only ever tasted defeat once and that was to Soverick. He will wipe out that blemish by defeating Soverick now and taking the crown for himself.
Soverick spread his hand wide and said, "Is that so? If you've not noticed. I survived your attack."
Salvos spoke as he walked closer to the pyramid. "I noticed. But that only means you require a longer attack for you to be defeated. It is something I can do. Today, I will defeat a sage."
