Capítulo 1458: Idiot

Ryu remained in his seated position as his pillar moved back. The chains around him flickered into and out of existence, and it almost felt like his entire body was an open wound. They were akin to searing alcohol, pouring into his organs. 

However, he remained calm. He could sense the gazes, most of which were marred by ridicule, but he didn't mind it. Normally, he would directly strike to kill these people, at least his former self would, but given the state of the round, he doubted that such an outside interference would be allowed. 

Instead, he began to inwardly meditate, not minding the world around him… for the moment. 

The second chosen to move forward was Selheira. She gave Ryu a glance but didn't say much afterward. 

The good news was that no one could challenge Ryu in this state and he would be able to protect himself by relying on the large influx of Heavenly Favor that he had from the start, but it was hard to tell how long this would last.
