Chapter 163: Throne

The young girl shook her head fiercely, slapping herself awake from Ryu's intoxicating scent. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to remove the fog from her eyes entirely. Though Ryu's scent was part of it, the other part were his eyes.

That wasn't the kind of burden just anyone could withstand, especially since he was no longer in the expert filled Shrine Plane anymore.
