"I admit you might be stronger than me! But I don't need to rely on you!"
After burning and killing over a hundred Ents, Lucien glanced at William with a hint of pride.
William simply stated, "You could be a bit more confident."
"Huh? Am I not confident enough?" Lucien felt he was quite confident already.
William continued, "It's not that I might be stronger than you, I am indeed stronger than you, and whether you admit it or not..."
"It's a fact!"
Lucien's face darkened, his pride evaporated, leaving him filled with a sense of defeat.
Some people, even without taking action, can cause immense damage just with their words.
Sophias, the Element Devouring Cat, too, remained silent, following Lucien to pick up soul cores.
The soul cores formed from over a hundred Ents after their death were consumed by Sophias as if they were mere beans.
