Chapter 48: Battlefield Awakening
Yet, despite all this.
The Mushroom King stands motionless.
Not even a flinch.
He stands motionless without any sign of fear while he watches. Observing.
The warrior experiences something new for the first time.
His unfeeling eyes reveal no signs of fear.
No hesitation.
No doubt.
Only pure, unrelenting hatred.
But he does not care.
His amusement deepens as a smirk appears at his lips.
The Mushroom King granted him permission to undergo transformation.
Foolish.
The creature seemed to have acquired an improper understanding of human honor through its imitation of them. The creature seemed to embrace the principles of chivalry and fair combat.
It didn't matter.
Because in the end.
He would be the one to win.
The standoff drags on while time seems to halt before the conflict reaches its peak.
Then.
They vanish.
A blink.
