Chapter 502: Siblings Meet (2/2)
And then, it happened.
Aris and Cera met for the first time.
Both Aris and Cera narrowed their eyes at each other. ”Who are you?” Cera asked with a voice transmission. Spirit Beasts could already transmit their thoughts to others, which allowed them to talk to each other.
”Aris,” Aris answered with confidence. ”I'm the overlord of this place. Ever since I've reached my current level, nothing has been able to keep standing in front of me. Who are you?” he asked.
”Cera,” Cera answered with narrowed eyes. Aris' boast had rubbed her the wrong way. ”I was just about to say the same thing. Ever since I've reached this level, nothing has been able to stand against me.”
Aris huffed. ”Do you have any idea how often I have heard that before? The last one that said that to me had been one of these beasts with a powerful body one level higher than me. He didn't even stand a chance.”
Cera disliked Aris' arrogant words, but she felt his power. To Cera, Aris truly felt like the most powerful beast she had ever seen, except for these godlike beasts at the edges of this area. To her, Aris felt as dangerous as her first opponent that had been two levels above her.
”Do you want to fight?” she asked coldly. Aris felt incredibly dangerous to her, but she wouldn't back down from such a fight. Her pride didn't allow her to.
”I am more interested in your appearance,” Aris answered as he walked closer. ”I've never met someone that looks like me.”
”Same thing for me,” Cera answered carefully as she kept observing him.
Aris circled her as Cera didn't allow him to enter her blind spot. She didn't know this beast, and it was possible that this was a beast that attacked from the shadows.
”Funnily enough,” Aris said as he circled her, ”even though you are female and look nearly identical to me, I don't feel any kind of desire to mate with you. Even some snakes have exhibited more attraction than you.”
”That's not what everyone else always says,” Cera answered with a huff. ”Whenever I want to fight a male, they always try to mate with me first. I seem to have quite an attraction to others.”
”Interesting,” Aris said as he arrived in front of her again. ”I guess that means that we are siblings. I can't imagine any other reason for this dynamic.”
Cera looked at the floor with furrowed brows. She hadn't thought of that before. It seemed like Aris had managed to make the connection earlier than her.
”Yet,” Aris said with a more dangerous tone, ”I wonder if you have the strength worthy of being my sibling.”
Cera narrowed her eyes at him. ”Do you want to find out?” she asked.
Aris chuckled a bit. ”I will find out,” he said as he readied himself to pounce forward. ”If you don't prove to be my equal, you will die today.”
BANG!
And Aris charged forward with an explosion of lightning.
