Ryu heard the question but he didn't have any intentions of stopping. What a joke, his life was on the line right now, did he have time to chat idly with this person? 

The youth looked quite young, but it was impossible to tell without his Void Spiritual Sense. He could very well be an old monster, but Ryu had to pretend to be just the same. His saving grace was that he had come out from deep within the region. Because of that, only a fool wouldn't be wary of him, especially since it seemed that he was the cause of the change to the region. 

But there was a flaw in Ryu's attempts: his speed. 

For someone who was supposed to be a powerhouse, he was simply moving too slowly. Even though he was throwing everything he had toward escaping this region, and he had no choice but to do so, to the eyes of an expert like the young man, he was practically doing a snail's crawl.
