The Level 9.8 Lightning Dragon snorted, sending arcs of lightning scattering through the air.
Linsley remained unfazed, hovering in place as he looked upon the colossal creature. He knew well that the dragons saw themselves as naturally superior beings, scorning humans—even human Overlords—no matter their strength.
To the dragons, humans were little more than lesser creatures who had merely became a bigger ant after awakening their gifts.
"Arrogance?" Linsley replied, his voice calm. "Or is it fear of finally meeting someone equal?"
The Lightning Dragon's expression darkened, and arcs of lightning intensified around its body.
The dragon's gaze narrowed as it bore into Linsley, radiating contempt at the human's audacity. "Dragons are eternal, humans transient. Power or not, you're still beneath us," he sneered, his voice laced with disdain.
Linsley met the dragon's gaze without a hint of hesitation.
