The moment Kretos saw Alphonso create an ice spear made of incredible amounts of mana he felt enraptured by passion. That was the strongest skill he has ever seen and it was a hundred times stronger than the orb of light created by the Osted family.
Kretos's blood was boiling and his very soul seems to be screaming out in joy. The mere fact that he gets to fight someone of this caliber has made Kretos so happy that death seems so inconsequential. Every fiber of his being was shaking in anticipation.
'As expected only battle can give me such a great feeling!'
