"What did you say, you arrogant scum?" one guardian snarled.
"How dare you speak in that tone with the guardians?" another added.
"I'm going to enjoy torturing this filth," a particularly enthusiastic guardian chimed in.
The guardians started to mutter among themselves, each one getting more fired up than the last.
They brandished their weapons, their eyes shooting daggers at Kaisen.
"Silence, everyone!" the whip guardian barked, and the others quieted down. "I shall take the honor of killing this insolent fool."
In the midst of the guardians, Kaisen stood like a classic villain who trembles the entire world with his presence.
At least, that's how villains in most reincarnation stories acted, he mused.
"You have been warned," the whip guardian continued, her voice dripping with disdain.
