The aura of a God descended from above, sweeping through Ryu as though interested in seeing through his entire being.
Ryu looked up, his eyes narrowing. This was probably the most dangerous part of his journey.
The situation here was practically entirely under the control of the Fiends, so they were more lax with how things worked usually… but there was no escaping the fact that their False Shrine was here. No matter how lax they were, there would be a limit.
This was why Ryu had acted the way he had just now. Not to mention the fact that the Lord Dark Fiend didn't have any killing intent, it wasn't a matter worth considering too much. He was only using the Lord Dark Fiend to make himself seem like a genius, but not strong enough to actually cause any real trouble.
Someone arrogant enough to say that he would force Aria beneath his crotch, yet would also let go of such a slight, was obviously more bark than bite.
