Chapter 1353: Chaos

Ryu could feel the shift in the atmosphere, but his expression didn't change much. If it did, it was rather into an even deeper smile. It seemed that these little political games could be fun… depending on the stakes, that was. 

It was too bad, though. This Empana might be very talented, but if it was a matter of intelligence, he was too far inferior, and when it came to who had the sharper mouth, they weren't even in the same league. 

"Oh?" Ryu blinked, somewhat confused by Empana's words. "I'm in the Dao Pedestal Realm. I was brought here to be a Ruin Master. My commands are also supposed to be given through General Jorlumin here. If you wanted me to take a more active role, I could, but I'll need more authority. I'll help out in whatever way you need."

Empana froze when he heard these words. The implications almost made him blush with shame. On top of that, Ryu seemed to hit all of his weaknesses at once.
