If an Upper Exalt joined the trestle, the masked warriors would instantly regain the upper hand. Against Exalts, an Upper Exalt was like a tiger among sheep.
If Ryan were not here, the defense of the trestle would have collapsed in an instant.
However, this Upper Exalt from the Skeleton Warship was completely unaware of Ryan's true strength. He was puzzled instead.
Why had so many masked warriors failed to break through for so long?
Why were they cowering on the trestle, afraid to move forward, when there was only a single candidate blocking their way?
Fear of a mere candidate?
Ridiculous.
With annoyance rising in his heart, the Upper Exalt fixed his gaze on Ryan, trying to see what was so special about him.
But no matter how he looked, Ryan appeared ordinary. Aside from a calm posture and confident bearing, there was nothing remarkable about him.
Since he could not see anything special, there was no need to waste time.
The solution was simple.
Kill him.
