"Who knows, why should I even tell you that? An ant has its own way of defending itself. Don't tell me that the high and mighty king from the dragon clan is afraid? Kehehe... prepare yourself, earlier it was just the crystals on top of your body, my attacks won't stop until you kneel in front of me".
What a joke, the dragon was arrogant in front of him? Simon's words showed the latter who was the real ant.
He was not the same person he was when he faced the Earth Shattering Lower Dragon for the first time. He had ranked up, gone through multiple life and death battles that slowly filled his battle experience and forged his character.
It was a huge mistake on the part of the Earth Shattering Lower Dragon to underestimate him. Ultimately it allowed Simon to pull the rug out from underneath him.
