Elena froze but Ryu had already removed his hand, stepping forward.
"What the hell are you doing?! Don't you think you're overestimating yourself?!"
The one who spoke was once again Cleo, but she was simply directly ignored by Ryu this time who didn't even bother to glance back this time around.
Those who felt that Ryu was in over his head were those who believed he had struggled with the first Heaven's Warrior that descended, while these ones were clearly far superior. However, Ryu didn't feel this way in the slightest.
Even if he was on his last legs during that battle, he wouldn't allow Elena to lift a finger. How he managed to do it didn't matter. To him, all that mattered was that he did it.
