Whether it was a human or a beast, fear toward the unknown existed naturally within every living creature, much like how even a mighty ocean would hesitate before swallowing a fire whose depth it could not measure.
There was a reason Kiara behaved arrogantly whenever enemies offended her.
It was because she already knew she would win.
Confidence born from certainty was not bravery.

Of course, everything could change if she somehow managed to capture this demigod beast standing before her.
But presently…
That possibility appeared painfully distant.
Naturally, Juren Frost also felt wary.
