"Wanna go and have our promised duel? I promise to go easy on you," Klytius taunted his tiny opponent with a smile on his face.
In response, Lucius remained as staid as usual and calmly replied.
"Not now. I'm going to remain here until she completes her ascension."
Hearing that reply, Klytius narrowed his eyes and spoke with a low tone, "That might take anywhere from weeks to even months. You are not going to make a king wait, are you?" A tense, oppressive pressure erupted from his body.
Unaffected by the pressure exerted by the other party and seemingly having expected this question, Lucius nonchalantly asked.
"Didn't you say that you wanted to fight me at my strongest? Wait until she's done with her ascension and you can do so."
"What do you mean? Are you injured? No, your body and energy are both at their peak," scanning Lucius quickly with his soul power, Klytius immediately replied.
