Ryu's cold eyes met the Roc's. It was as though two lines of silver crossed time and space.
The Roc seemed curious about Ryu's sudden appearance, amused, even. Normally beasts completely avoided its territory. Whenever it wanted to eat, it would have to leave and chase after those cowards. He had to say that this was the first time someone had willingly come to him.
As for Ryu, he was surprised for an entirely different reason. He felt a pressure he had only experienced once before. The issue was that the originator of that pressure had been a Connecting Heaven Realm expert, but Ryu was certain that this Roc was just a Peak Third Order beast. How was that even possible?
'A strand can't be so powerful, can it?' Ryu's brow furrowed as he asked Ailsa this question. He had four full Ancestral Bloodlines running through his veins, so why wasn't the pressure he gave off a match for this beast who supposedly only had a strand?
