The Beastman God's face twisted into a savage snarl when he saw the lack of response from his opponent. Raising the spear in his hand, he roared furiously: "Dragon! Do you know—what kind of being stands before you?!"
"Of course I know..."
The Beastman had not expected that the Red Dragon in front of him would remain utterly fearless, merely responding with: "Just a god-pretending, divine monstrosity!"
"What? How could you..."
The Beastman "God"'s pupils suddenly dilated, a flash of panic passing across his face.
Cassius continued wistfully: "Tsk tsk, no wonder a remnant corpse of a mighty deity transformed into a monstrosity can execute such exquisite mimicry.
The oppression of this divine status, the scent of divine power—so convincing that even I couldn't discern it. Almost indistinguishable from a divine incarnation, except..."
Turning his tone, Cassius bared his razor-sharp teeth in a grim smile, his voice morphing into a roar: "This is the Ashen Empire!"
"Boom!"
