"What do you think I am?"

When I asked what he thought my identity was, the leader reacted.

His body was still trembling, and most notably, the way he looked at me had changed.

Previously, his gaze had been one of mockery, as if subtly belittling me.

But now, it was entirely different.

His eyes held not only confusion but also a deep, profound doubt and an unidentifiable fear.

The sudden shift in demeanor was strange.

"Was what I just did so shocking?"

If I had to guess the reason for his change, it was probably what I’d just done.

But I didn’t quite understand it.

“What’s so special about this?”

At best, it seemed like a power similar to Dragon Speech.

Of course—

"Dragon Speech itself is an unusual power."

Just speaking words with infused energy to restrict someone’s actions—that was strange enough.

But for the leader to react this strongly, there had to be a deeper reason.

“What is it?”

I wanted to understand, but—

“You don’t know, do you?”

At the same time, I needed to take advantage of the present moment.

“You won’t figure it out.”

“…What are you…”

The leader was flustered. This wasn’t a moment to waste.@@novelbin@@

“Do you remember what I said earlier?”

I poured out my words, one after another, without giving him time to process.

“Do you want to stay where you are? Or… do you want to climb higher?”

“…”

The leader didn’t answer.

But that didn’t matter.

I knew his ears were wide open.

“I told you, I know people like you all too well.”

Eyes filled with desire.

People who didn’t care about methods or morality to achieve their goals.

Even if it meant defying heaven’s order or breaking their own beliefs,

people like that wouldn’t care.

And to me, this leader seemed to be one of those people.
