As Kahn and Vildred faced the formidable Venerable Oogway, their shock and tension were palpable.
Their situation was complicated further by the fact that Venerable Oogway seemed to have seen through Kahn's disguise as Atreus Bellator and his true identity as the Hero of Darkness.
Vildred prepared his Ancient Rank spells, anticipating the possibility of a fight breaking out. However, to their surprise, there were no signs of enmity or retaliation from the Venerable Monk.
[Kid... If I was at least a Beginner 7th-stage saint, I could match him in strength. But at this point, our only option is to run away.] spoke Vildred with a wary expression.
Even Vildred realized the vast power difference between the current him of the 5th stage saint rank and Venerable Oogway, leaving them with little chance of victory in a direct confrontation.
The only viable option seemed to be to escape, especially considering the dire consequences.
