Chapter 118: Mountain Peak

With Alice charging at him with a wave of flames and Ria dashing out of cover, the Champion was left in a slight dilemma.

It wasn't afraid of being unable to stop the two. In fact, he was worried about how much strength he must use. To him, they were nothing but younglings who couldn't even be considered proper Hunters.

Had he met them in the wild he would've scoffed at them before turning away, not wanting to waste his strength on killing something so weak. If he wanted to, he could extinguish their life with a snap of his finger.

But that wasn't what he wanted. His pride as a beast on the verge of attaining greatness stood in the way.

It was a challenge in his own mind. If these two forced him to uncross his arms and use more power than needed, then it was an insult to his status. Yet if he takes his focus off Alice right now, the strange flames would attack him.
