After leaving the last badass words with the Orc King, Kent found himself back inside the Mountain Garden, panting for breath.
He may have acted badass, but the danger he had just escaped from was one that he never wanted to feel again. The Orc King was someone just three steps away from stepping into the Heavenly Ascension realm.
Just as Core Formation is the peak of a medium world, the Heavenly Ascension stage is the peak of a high world, and Kent had just spoken such bold words to a being of that calibre.
That in itself is a badass move that cannot be replicated.
It was like staring into the face of a god and giving him the middle finger
It was the true definition of badass.
However, that doesn't mean he was in his element while facing such a being. It was more like he had faced danger itself and walked away, sweating profusely.
