This is the Ancestral Land of the Silver Dragon Clan. If one wants to kill Ares here without any reason, with Roger's current power, he can indeed achieve that.
But wanting to avoid the clan's frantic retaliation afterward is almost impossible.
Yet, to resolve the crisis on Kenneth once and for all, the Dragon King is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed.
So finding a way to force the opponent to provoke first makes things much easier to handle.
If the timing is right, it's not impossible to kill him, but even with Kenneth by his side, it would sour relations with the entire clan.
But if he just injures without killing...
Roger had already made a decision in his heart.
The higher-ups of the Silver Dragon Clan won't stand by and allow the two of them to fight, so he must move quickly and not give anyone time to react.
So the moment he drew his sword, the ground shook. From the ground to the temple's walls and dome, it instantaneously became Roger's isolated private domain.
