"What?! Are you perhaps going to make fun of me, my King?! How dare this stupid human say such a thing in my presence?!" the white dragon roared, complaining loudly to Therion, who remained impassive.
It's just a figment of your imagination, Yoichi... it's just a figment of your imagination. The young warrior kept repeating in his mind, moving his hands and legs as if he was warming up his muscles before a workout.
"I'm not making fun of you, Urgerross. You know I would never joke like in this way," Therion remarked. "Yoichi is not a mere human being. I told you, he has inherited a fragment of my power, and if he can defeat you, he will do the same from you."
