"Tch!"
Hearing the Void Dragon's unsettling voice and its fluency in human language, Shye's body instinctively trembled, as if responding to the natural order between a mortal human and a divine, pure-blood draconian.
This caused him to step back instinctively, unable to move forward as cold sweat ran down his temples and back.
'I'm cowering?' Shye thought inwardly with gritted teeth. His hands were indeed slightly shaking. 'All this even with my [Unfazed Heart] trait active…Dragons are something else…'
Shye knew that the first step to overcoming fear was acknowledging it. Hence, he took his time.
'It's a good thing that this monstrosity is toying with us…'
Soon after, the mana communicator strapped on his waist finally rang. He was waiting for this!
From the earlier notification indicating he had earned 15 points, Shye knew that ten people from the WAA were observing him.
