'It's fine.' Ryu said calmly, the mad swings of his glaive not dulling for even a moment.

Ailsa's delicate brow furrowed. 'It's not going to be remotely the same as fighting this Host Minn. His Immortal Ring is below even the lowest standard. In addition, Mental Realm Masters have an advantage in controlling their Immortal Rings.'
