Chapter 2029 Silence and Arrogance
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
The silence between the two was palpable. Their arrogance seemed to be ingrained into their very bones, drilled through the psyches and melded into the foundation of their Daos themselves.Maybe the two had their own various thoughts about these matters, but what was clear was that they both seemed to be pissed off.
In the past, Ryu was disappointed that a woman he thought might be perfect actually had such a great character flaw.
Trying to juxtapose the woman he once thought her to be and the one she was ended up being something he couldn't square no matter how hard he tried.
How could the arrogant woman he almost fell for be put in the same breath as this woman who was looking to spread her legs for revenge? It was enough to drive him mad.
However, it was also a good thing that his pride was so deep. He hadn't even thought of Sarriel much in these last few decades, and the reason for that was that he had already decided that she wasn't worthy of him.
She was so far from the woman that he thought she was that it was impossible for him to accept her in her current form.
As for Sarriel, she was far too arrogant to explain herself, ironically not much unlike a certain other somebody. The glimpses that Ryu had into her life were the things that she had casually decided to disseminate. Maybe if he cared to listen, she wouldn't have minded telling him more, but his reaction basically guaranteed that she would never do such a thing.
Explaining things because she felt like it? Sure, she wouldn't mind.
Explaining things because she was chasing after someone else's validation?
She would rather die.
Ryu flipped his palms over and his great swordstaffs disappeared. The scales on his body rippled, and in that moment, the horns on his head grew longer and more penetrating.
His muscles rippled as his horns branched out, almost forming antlers. Runes began to ripple across their surface, and sparks of lightning danced along with the common spattering of flames.
His body was slowly changing in subtle ways. The hidden worlds of his scales became deeper and more reflective, and there was something especially... demonic about him.
His horns completed their transformation to antlers, and they seemed to hold up the skies. Though his body had barely grown, and he still stood at just over two meters tall, he felt larger than life, as though he was taking up far more space now than he ever had before.
The whites of his eyes vanished, becoming a well of endless silver. Even his pupils seemed to be nowhere to be seen.
The runes that danced on his antlers began to descend onto his body, and the hidden tattoos that formed his Body Realm Cultivation art began to make themselves known.
An array of gold and dark gold danced, deepening his demonic air as they fluctuated within his scales.
The hidden worlds of his scales seemed to form a connection, and there was a sudden burst of light. The tattoo of a dragon began to swim across his body.
The call of a phoenix echoed as one flew through the worlds of his scales, entering his wings and
setting them ablaze.
A qilin stomped down once, causing veins around Ryu's ankles and feet to crackle and pop with a surge of power before they slowly settled down.
Every time one of these phenomena appeared, there was a flash of a Birthed Phenomena behind Ryu. And though he didn't speak, the echo of booming words reverberated through the hearts and minds of all those on the world.
Take Form and Forge the Heavens.
Take Form and Command the Heavens.
Take Form and Burn the Heavens.
Take Form and Conquer the Heavens.
"I would bring your stupid weapons back out if I were you," Sarriel said indifferently.
Ryu continued to look at her, his lips not moving in the slightest.
The time for talking was finished.
In his first life, wagging his tongue and sharpening it was all he could do. When his second life began, he grew a particular distaste for it, preferring to use his fists to the point where even conflicts that could have been avoided with a simple explanation were hopped into with both feet by him.
He had grown better as he continued to age and mature, but there were still times like this when he preferred to not speak at all.
Even he didn't realize the irony of the fact that the last time he couldn't be bothered to speak to explain himself like this... was in front of Ailsa.
And maybe it was also precisely because of Ailsa that he couldn't stand the fact these people were standing in his way right now.
Sarriel, though, didn't seem to mind it. She smiled.
It was a smile so beautiful the world seemed to light up for a moment despite the oppressive atmosphere between the two. And yet it was also matched with a pair of eyes that were brooding with darkness.
She stood there with that arrogant smile on her face, meeting Ryu's eyes as though she was looking at a plaything.
'I wonder... How long can you maintain that form for?"
She took a step forward, her dress fluttering in the wind along with her long, streaming black hair.
"How many Birthed Phenomena is that at once? How's your Focus Qi doing? You must be taking me very seriously to go all out like this. I'm almost a bit touched"
She took another step forward, her momentum building again.
Ryu still didn't reply, his breathing even as his eyes shone brighter and brighter. The elements
flickered all across his body, giving him more and more of the air of a God.
"Wouldn't it be a shame if all of this came crashing down with a little push?" Her sweet voice echoed. 'I think you need to learn how fragile you really are.
