Chapter 27: Arrogance
Yasmine's mood was solemn. If Vritra really could manage to pass this challenge, then they would gain a huge advantage, but she was worried since once the plan started, Lucian would have to hold back the goddess for a few seconds on his own.
'If only I had more energy...'
After arriving at the top of the stairs, Vritra saw the familiar balcony to his left; he continued to walk a little further and finally saw the room on his left. The door alone looked so beautiful, majestic, and expensive.
KNOCK KNOCK
He knocked on the door and waited. More than thirty minotaurs slid into the shadows and then surrounded the room. Their presence was completely hidden, since unless Vritra ordered them to act, they would be nothing more than ordinary shadows.
"You can enter." An ethereal and sonorous voice sounded from inside. Vritra pushed open the door and walked inside. What greeted him was a dazzling sight of the large room—everything here looked grand and exquisite.
It contained normal things like a bed, chairs, tables, antiques, mirrors—a lot of mirrors—and many other things.
After scanning the room once, Vritra's gaze focused on the goddess who was standing calmly in front of him, exhibiting a blinding brilliance. She looked as gorgeous as ever, her skin smooth and milky.
Vritra slightly bowed as his body trembled and his hands were shaking. He didn't even look straight at her; the game had already started.
"G- Goddess, did you have anything to ask me?" he asked. He knew such an act would be useless in front of absolute strength and absolute intellect.
But arrogance seldom went hand in hand with intelligence.
