Found One

"Another challenger, I see."

Benzard heard the being that was held by a yoke before him speak with a blank expression upon its face, yet... bloodlust oozed like a river from this creature; it had been so since the moment it saw him enter!

It was only by not looking at this creature's face that Benzard understood that his conjecture might have been right.

Even though it was bound, it still released a terrifying amount of strength that Benzard was sure was above his own.

When the choice to pick from between the two paths, one holding a powerful yet dormant presence, and another holding a weaker yet hostile presence, his mind had tried to reason out the best possible choice.

Was this a case where reverse psychology worked? Where the one with the dormant presence was actually the hostile one and vice versa?

Or was it reverse, reverse psychology where the choices were just as blatant as they appeared to be?
