章節 555: Familial Banter…?

While Dolare and Yablukwon were fighting each other in a display of strength, the Chief of this Stone Ogre tribe and Horan were entangled in a battle of the mind. The result of the clash between these peak powers—Pseudo-Saints—decided whether or not they would fight each other.
