Chapter 155: Weakest Tribe
The Asura girl, her radiant form hovering in the sky, turned her gaze down toward Lyerin, who stood on top of the Stonehooves tribe's centaur statue.
His posture was casual, one arm resting on Corora, who clung to him tightly.
From this distance, Lyerin's silhouette, wrapped in a dense fog, made his expression unreadable, but there was no mistaking the smirk playing on his lips.
"Is this real?" the Asura girl's voice boomed across the sky, her eyes narrowing in disbelief.
"Is this truly the Stonehooves Tribe?"
Her ethereal voice carried both incredulity and confusion as she observed the small collection of huts, a few dozen humans who huddled together in fear.
Most of them were visibly weak, mere beginner Mana users, while six battered and injured Mana beasts stood just outside the camp, struggling to stay upright.
One could feel the air was incredibly thick with unease.
Lyerin glanced up, his smirk never fading. "Yes, it's real," he replied nonchalantly, as if the Asura girl's awe and doubt were irrelevant to him.
He leaned slightly on the statue, still holding Corora, who looked at him with concern and confusion.
The Asura girl blinked, stunned by his response. "But... how?" she muttered to herself, her voice booming in disbelief across the sky.
"This tribe... these humans... they are so weak! Only beginner Mana users? Is this truly your tribe?"
Her eyes flicked to the injured Mana beasts standing guard.
"And these beasts? Only six? All of them wounded? How can this be?"
Lyerin chuckled softly, his fingers lightly tapping Corora's arm as if to calm her. "They're fine," he said, his tone light and unconcerned.
"Fine?"
The Asura girl was almost beside herself with incredulity. Her celestial form flickered slightly as if her very understanding of the situation was being challenged.
"This is one of the weakest tribes I've ever seen! How are you the representative of Earth? You, Lyerin, the leader of the Stonehooves Tribe, are supposed to be the strongest human among them?" Her eyes narrowed further, trying to comprehend the situation.
"Why is this tribe so feeble? Why are there no strong warriors here? No powerful Mana users?"
Lyerin shrugged, still unconcerned. "They're just getting started. Plus there's also me, how dare you say I'm not strong?"
"You? Strong? Getting started?" The Asura girl looked bewildered. "I see no sign of power here. No potential. Even the beasts—look at them!
They're on the verge of collapse." She shook her head in disbelief.
"Surely this must be some kind of joke."
Lyerin's smirk widened slightly. "They've been through worse."
"Through worse?"
The Asura girl's voice echoed through the sky, a mix of shock and exasperation.
"You expect me to believe that this ragtag group of humans and half-dead beasts could survive the trials to come? How do you plan to stand against the other races? The Jaldir of Zordrix, the Olerai of Kaeloris, the Sevarin of Treneron? Do you realize how weak your tribe appears compared to them?"
Lyerin's eyes gleamed with amusement, his smirk never faltering. "Looks can be deceiving. Plus those other representatives are weak as hell, we will crush them with ease! Haha!"
The Asura girl's expression hardened.
Gulp!
Swallowing her saliva, she seemed to be
And then, with a sweeping motion, she turned away, her voice booming across the skies once more. "The Battle of Races... Rules…"
