This sentence was like a roar, intimidating everyone around. Iri also noticed… this wasn't just a simple outburst of anger and complaint after being provoked by her.
Because Iri saw that the troops brought by the Big Cat, those orc warriors, involuntarily took a step back, and some even lost their balance.
Iri slightly turned her head and glanced out of the corner of her eye at the people behind her. They were even worse… ordinary soldiers almost all sat directly on the ground, and Bell "Lue" was directly squatting on the ground, trembling with his head in his hands.
Fear effect, huh!
That was the only thing Iri thought of, and then she glanced at the Guardian Ring on her finger. Only two stars were still lit, so it had indeed consumed one charge.
Uh… just in case, she couldn't let this cat use such skills to consume her Guardian Ring charges.
"Alright! Then I'll be a little more serious," Iri said, and then… she still maintained that very casual demeanor, but her eyes and expression became serious.
"Hmph! Underestimating your opponent will make you suffer! Xiao BuDian! I'm coming!" the Big Cat said, then assumed a fighting stance, but he did not attack Iri.
Given the orc race's reckless 'nature', he didn't charge forward immediately, which indeed surprised Iri a bit.
His weapon counters magic 'casters', doesn't it! He already had such a big advantage, yet he didn't directly suppress her and was still so cautious… It seems this Big Cat didn't underestimate her just because she was a small human!
Well! This was probably also related to her counterattack!
As soon as Iri noticed that her Guardian Ring charge had been consumed, she immediately activated Level 1 Despair Aura and Ice Aura. Under this double effect, the Big Cat must have felt fear!
However, from his appearance, nothing could really be seen… The Big Cat was still staring at her with a very cautious and serious gaze. She had indeed underestimated him a little.
However, in reality… Lion King was scared to death. Sinaodi. Tisgu. Roba was now scared to death.
Although he maintained his majestic appearance on the surface, seeing Xiao BuDian's casual demeanor, an inexplicable sense of fear arose in his heart.
Although he knew she was a magic 'caster', and he had even told her that his weapon completely countered her, she still looked so calm and unhurried.
The terrifying roar he had just let out had no effect on her at all. This Xiao BuDian! She was definitely not an ordinary person! Could there be such a strong person among humans?
At this moment, Xiao BuDian took a step forward, and Lion King almost instinctively wanted to take a step back. Fortunately, he controlled his body with strong willpower.
Lion King, to be afraid of such a small human! If this got out, where would his face be in the future! Lion King encouraged himself like this, then took another deep breath, intending to calm his flustered 'mind'.
Uh… his back was still chilling… as if Xiao BuDian was constantly emitting terrifying cold air. He didn't expect himself to actually be afraid of such a small human. How embarrassing!
Human? At this moment, Lion King realized… could humans be that terrifying?
Super Enhanced Smell activated. This was Lion King's special ability, and also one of his trump cards. Then he smelled a scent on the Xiao BuDian in front of him that humans shouldn't have.
"This scent… Heh heh… Hahaha!! So that's how it is! So that's how it is!! I understand, I understand!" The Big Cat suddenly laughed heartily, saying incomprehensible words.
Was he scared silly by her Despair Aura? Iri was originally planning to approach the Big Cat step by step, letting him gradually get closer to her and strengthen the effect of the Despair Aura, but she didn't expect the Big Cat to suddenly burst out laughing.
"Then there's no reason to be afraid. Hey! Strong one, you're with that guy, aren't you?" the Big Cat asked.
"What do you think?" Iri was startled for a moment, then quickly replied. Did this Big Cat discover her identity?
How did he discover it? The 'guy' he mentioned must be Xiao Di!
"Hahaha! Very good, very good, to actually meet a strong person like that guy here! Very good! Let's fight to our heart's content!" At this moment, the Big Cat seemed like a changed person, maintaining what should have been a smiling expression as he spoke to Iri.
Now that he knew her identity, there was nothing to be afraid of. The guy he met earlier and the Xiao BuDian in front of him emitted the same scent. Although Xiao BuDian's scent was much more complex than that guy's, it still couldn't hide their relationship. He could finally have a good fight!
Earlier, just as he was about to spar with that guy, his limbs were controlled by strange magic, and he had no chance at all. Now, with such a good opportunity right in front of him, what reason did he have to be afraid!
Iri was a bit conflicted. She had originally intended to just scare him away with Despair Aura, but instead, it made him more motivated. It seemed she really had to teach him a lesson.
She had to be careful not to beat him so badly that he couldn't get up again. But what she needed to consider now was not to let this cat expose her identity in front of so many people.
Hmm?
At this moment, Iri noticed that the Big Cat's nose was constantly twitching. He hadn't had this little movement before, and he just mentioned scent, didn't he?
Could he actually connect her to Xiao Di just by scent? Aren't lions felines? How could he have a canine's sense of smell!
