Asgor glanced at Nina, ridicule practically dripping from his gaze.
"That male possesses strength far beyond ordinary beastmen, yet even he failed to gain the sacred artifact's recognition." A cold, mocking smile tugged at his lips. "And you think a delicate little female like you can become its master?"
In his eyes, Nina was nothing more than an exceptionally beautiful female who had bewitched a group of males into risking their lives to escort her all the way here.
Nothing more.
The contempt in his expression was impossible to hide.
Lex immediately stepped in front of Nina, his gaze turning sharp and hostile as he stared coldly at Asgor.
You ignorant fool. Nina is stronger than every one of us. If she wished to, she could crush people like him without effort.
Unfortunately, he could not speak. Otherwise, he would have shredded this man apart with words alone.
Nina's eyes cooled slightly, though her expression remained calm.
