Chapter 64.2
Bash didn’t understand the subtleties of conversations, but he could feel them somehow. This demon woman was somewhat distracted, not even looking at him when she listened. No matter how much Bash and Zell tried to encourage her, she didn’t give a single word of encourage.
And the tense atmosphere emanating from the woman… an air of intimidation. It was something he often felt when facing high-ranking demons or succubi. He supposed that she saw him as nothing more than a humble creature occupying that space. Internally, she must have been thinking something else.
“Before, the dragon fled. You’ve already won, haven’t you?”
“The dragon is not an opponent who accepts defeat so easily.”
The woman seemed to think that Bash drove away the dragon to avoid facing it. It must be because she didn’t trust Bash’s strength. That if they fought, she would probably get involved and die this time.
Nothing Bash had said before had resonated with the woman. She thought all those days of fighting, all those fierce battles, were completely false or inconsequential. It must be humiliating.
“Can you maintain your honor… without killing the dragon?”
“Protect my honor… without killing the dragon?”
“Yes.”
