"When speaking to me… I recommend you lower your tone…" Lucien said calmly while holding the kids gently.
Hearing Lucien's calm and confident voice was like a painkiller to these kids. They calmed down and gazed at the masked man, only to see the same emotionless, cold eyes within the mask gazing at the terrifying magic beast.
Even Rupture was momentarily stunned by the new Lucien. The old one he met in the dungeon was immature and weak, yet this one carried an air of maturity and confidence. Gazing at Lucien he couldn't tell Lucien's strength, shocking it as well. Unknown to the magic beast, the soul cauldron has sealing abilities, using it, Lucien could seal his strength, making it almost impossible for people to tell his cultivation level. The new Lucien was shrouded in mystery making people naturally anxious whenever they come face to face with him.
"What happened to you?" Rupture asked but in a lower tone now.
