Taking Sides

"Hmph!" Celis didn't fall for Rean's words as he replied, "I only killed the weaker ones. Those who reached the Late and Peak Stage of the Transition Realm were still able to escape from me with relative comfort. If it was you or Roan doing what I just did, I don't think they would have escaped so easily."

Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. "Well yeah, but they also didn't dare to stay and battle you at close range, even though they have the advantage of numbers. That alone speaks a lot about your strength and experience. Roan and I could probably defeat you, but it would definitely result in a pyrrhic victory."
