Chapter 103 - The HalfElemental Race, Goron (4) (1/2)
”You are capable enough to make me bleed.”
Upon hearing the young Goron's exclamation, Jeremy's eyes went dazed for a split second...
'What the hell... How in the world can I make it bleed like that? I haven't scratched even its yellow skin yet.' Jeremy thought in bafflement.
Indeed, the outlander's bleeding forehead was clearly caused by its own two hands, for Jeremy had only jumped away to avoid its rolling body, that's all.
Furthermore, Jeremy still hadn't gone past the creature's solid external defensive layers yet.
How could he make it bleed in the first place?
Nonetheless, Jeremy's thoughts were all unbeknownst to the ignorant Goron right now as it continued talking with an admiring expression,
”I have to say that you are pretty strong... well, that is, strong enough for a mere human.”
Unfortunately, the lady luck was not on the young Goron's side, for it had just made the biggest mistake it could have ever made in its entire short lifespan...
”Hmm...?”
”A mere human?” Jeremy exclaimed and replied with a light smile, but his eyes started narrowing dangerously at the word 'mere'.
How could a descendant creature of the now-extinct race say such an insulting word towards him, the former great sage?
If it were so like the creature had said, wouldn't Jeremy become a former sage of the 'mere' humanity now?
The yellow skin outlander was simply courting death with its unthoughtful and unmindful wording...
Well...
As if still not realizing that Jeremy didn't ask for an answer when he replied to it earlier, the ignorant Goron added even further,
”Yes, your human race is supposed to be weak... Way weaker physically and elementally than us, the elemental races. Thus, it is very strange to see a human has so much strength capable of contending with me.”
To be honest, the young Goron's general knowledge related to Ortus and the races living on the said planet should be pretty limited. The reason it was this short-sighted and simple-minded should be that the System had only input a minimal amount of knowledge inside the creature's brain for simplicity's sake.
But who have known that the said 'simplicity's sake' would backfire on the young Goron instead...
Still, when Jeremy had heard those words, his narrowly dangerous eyes seemed to be shooting a laser beam out all of a sudden.
Anyhow, it couldn't be denied that Jeremy's pride was a bit 'disturbed' from the creature's truthful words, for humans were indeed within the weaker side 'physically' compared to most races on Ortus.
However, for the human race to survive 'this long' on the giant planet full of beasts and monsters had clearly signified that it ought to have some unique ways of cultivation and technique to maintain and make itself strong enough to fend off any incoming dangers.
Shortly after, Jeremy finally changed his altitude back to his casual one of the same old harmless-looking smile that somehow felt so dangerous to any onlooker, and then he spoke to the Goron informatively,
