Despite seeing Nox's overwhelming display of strength, King Drakos Frostpire remained calm, observing everything with a neutral gaze.
'The kid is powerful for his age,' he acknowledged, sipping his frozen liquid slowly. As if annoyed by the taste, a look of displeasure briefly crossed his features, and following a burst of brilliant light, what seemed to be a monster core appeared in his grasp.
Then, the next moment, he effortlessly crushed the monster core with his bare hands, turning it into fine grains of dust, which he sprinkled inside his glass.
If Nox were here, he would've been shocked to his core. Even with all his strength, he could not put a dent in a monster core, and yet… yet the king had done it so effortlessly, as if the monster core was nothing but a mere pebble.
'Well, it seems this fight will still go on for some time.' He then drank the glass of frozen liquid, a satisfied expression appearing on his face.
