The glowing pebble stopped an inch from Simon's face.
It hung there, trembling in the grip of his Seed of Pride.
Simon flicked two fingers, and the pebble shot back toward Ruvak.
Ruvak snapped his fingers.
BOOM!
The pebble exploded halfway between them, and a wave of fire rolled across the cavern. Simon didn't move. The flames parted around him as though they were reluctant to touch him.
When the smoke cleared, Ruvak was pouting.
"Rude. You were supposed to catch it."
Simon studied him.
Ruvak was a Prime Demon King. His aura was clear enough for Simon to be certain of that.
Yet he felt just as dangerous as Ilvara had.
Simon didn't understand why. He couldn't perceive a Seed of Sin within Ruvak, not even an artificial one like Ashra's. His aura wasn't overwhelming either.
Perhaps it was his eyes.
