Capítulo 85: Dungeon Boss

The Orthrus and I stared at each other for a long minute. It was a test of wills. I tried to intimidate him with Eyes of Terror, but it was useless since he was stronger than me. However, my Sixth Sense didn't activate.

At this point, the beast's wounds were completely healed. It was as if he never was injured in the first place! In the original game, The Orthrus was a late-game boss, but considering how much this world differed from the game, I wasn't surprised.

As for why my Sixth Sense didn't activate… That was because I wasn't considered a threat. He was sizing me up. I felt insulted for not being considered a worthy opponent, but I wasn't stupid enough to act based on my emotions. Instead, I took a deep breath. I had to keep a level head if I wanted to beat this thing.

For now, I should retreat. It was the logical thing to do, however, my feet wouldn't move. It wasn't from fear though. It was from pride.
