The shadow's yell caused the entire room to shake and it brought such great pressure that Lith felt his knees tremble and he was about to kneel down at any moment.

But Lith didn't falter and calmly looked at the guy, despite feeling great pain all over his body.

The shadow then walked towards Lith with great strides, increasing the pressure on Lith with each step.

Lith's legs finally gave in as he couldn't handle the pressure and was about to kneel when Emilia rushed to support him and didn't let him fall.

"Are you okay?" She asked with visible worry on her face.

Before Lith could reply, the shadow distanced Emilia from Lith and sealed her movements in one place. She couldn't even speak now and stood still like a statue.

Being in great pain, Lith still managed to look up towards the shadow coming towards him. His corner of the mouth was bleeding, his ears were bleeding and his eyes seemed like such a situation would happen with them as well pretty soon. On top of the pain, Lith felt highly suffocated.

The pressure on Lith was equivalent to a mortal being under a kiloton rock.

The shadow soon reached in front of Lith and looking down in his eyes, he said with a big bloody smile,

"Did you think I couldn't do anything to you?"

Lith was calm even in such a helpless situation and even if the being in front appeared really terrifying.

Lith replied flatly, even under immense pressure, "No."

The shadow's smile changed into a frown and he said with surprise, "what?"

He lowered the pressure on Lith a bit to let him speak more properly.

Feeling that he could speak a bit, Lith continued, "trials are dangerous. Do you think I am a fool to jump in without taking precautions?"

The shadow was confused now. "You think you, a mere immortal, can prepare measures against a God?"

"You're a God?" Lith asked, catching something interesting in this conversation.

"I am." The shadow replied without hesitation. "So do you think I don't have the ability to see past your tricks?"

The shadow bent down and plucked out one of Lith's fangs and showed it to him.

"Poison to kill yourself? You wanted to get killed by your own hands and not mine?"

"None of your business." Lith answered.

The shadow crushed the fang and said, "a cocky one, aren't you?"

Lith didn't reply.

The shadow made a creepy smile again and squatting down and getting to Lith's eye level, said in his deep voice while holding his hair,

"I can kill you and your partner there with just a snap of my finger. Even if I am a remnant will, I am far stronger than you can imagine."

"How does it feel? Still cocky now knowing your death can occur at any moment?"

Lith once again didn't answer and looked at the shadow calmly, without showing any emotion.

The shadow was surprised by Lith's calmness and to make him unable to stay in such a position for long, he unleashed his terrifying black aura all around Lith and the atmosphere became pitch black.

In front of Lith were two demonic red eyes and a creepy smile.

Despite feeling afraid in his heart for some reason and having his whole body tremble, Lith still didn't falter and stayed calm.

A few moments passed and the shadow was now genuinely surprised.

In front of a genuine God's aura, even the most powerful beings would get scared and prostrate. How was a mere Saint Rank not even showing any signs of fear? The shadow couldn't understand.

The shadow kept putting pressure on Lith and caused Lith to fully lay flat on the ground and bleed from his seven orifices.

But Lith was as calm as a still lake even in such a predicament.

Soon, the shadow slightly lowered the pressure and picking up Lith via his hair, he asked looking him in the eyes,

"Do you not fear death?"

Lith looked at him with his blood covered face, "No."

His eyes were calm, his demeanour was serious, and he appeared neutral in his expression, not showing any hate or fear towards the shadow.

"If you don't fear yourself dying, how about I kill your partner?" The shadow asked.

Lith didn't answer this question and kept his calm.

The shadow then said, "what would you do if I seal you in this place and torture your partner in front of your very own eyes for eternity?"

Lith looked straight at the shadow in his eyes and said calmly, "Repay the favour a million fold times."

The shadow's smile widened. "Do you think you have the power to?"

"No. I am currently powerless and have no control of this situation. But if I survive this, I'll do as I said. If I don't, then I'll blame myself for being powerless and coming here." Lith said without a trace of emotions.

"So you're giving up?" The shadow asked.

"I am not. If I get even a small opportunity, I'll ensure to give you a torture of your lifetime."

"..."

The shadow really had no idea what to say to such statements. It was it's first time coming across such a mad person.

Even after so many threats, so much pressure, and even after letting out its entire godly aura, Lith showed no signs of struggle. He didn't beg to be saved, he didn't show anger, he didn't cry, he wasn't afraid, and he apparently didn't even care!

Lith simply

Accepted.

The shadow could tell Lith accepted his situation. He saw him not giving up, but he also saw him not make any pointless struggle and stay calm.

If Lith hadn't accepted his situation, and like other people, had he tried his very best to shout, scream, and break free of his shackle, he would've gone insane due to a spell that was cast in this room and would eventually explode apart and die.

But nothing of such sort happened.

There was not a single person who showed a behaviour like Lith and no one had ever been this calm throughout.

Not to mention, the godly aura the shadow released, it would cause the people to become unconscious but Lith wasn't affected even in the slightest by it.

This felt really interesting to him and the shadow was impressed.

He took away all the pressure from Lith and the surrounding and made Lith get up.

He also ensured to give a clean up to Lith, to not make him appear all bloody and after restoring Lith's fang, he appeared in front of him and placing his index finger on Lith's forehead, he said in a deep voice,

"An interesting fellow."
