Facing the threat from his opponent, Jose only responded with a disdainful smile.
He was not called the cautious Jose for no reason. Despite his arrogant demeanor when he sought out the Lady, it was simply a strategic ploy.
People tend to make more mistakes when enraged, so if he could infuriate his opponent before the fight began, his odds of winning would increase.
In fact, Jose took Ireya quite seriously and had conducted detailed investigations into the well-known contenders of the combat tournament.
Therefore, he was well aware of what the girl referred to as the "terrifying power." Competitors were not allowed to use poison in the tournament, so the Poison Fog used by the Lady to deal with Hercules was clearly unusable.
But the small box that could unleash Thunder was still permissible, so that must be what she meant by terrifying power.
It was indeed terrifying, but not without countermeasures — as long as he remained vigilant and avoided being struck, he would be fine.
