The entire palace suddenly fell deathly silent. Everyone looked at the wooden giant with wide eyes, and for a split second, they were struck by the illusion that the invincible War God was back.
However, the one inside the wooden giant was Yuri, not Alex, so what gave him the courage to challenge Slog? Wasn't he just asking for a beating?
Slog himself also faltered slightly upon seeing this. In all honesty, he had almost fallen to his knees when the wooden giant extended a challenge toward him.
However, he quickly returned to his senses, and reiterated to himself that Alex was already dead, and the one inside the wooden giant was only the frail and useless Yuri.
Flames of fury were ignited in Slog's heart. Even though he wasn't a high-ranking official, nor was he very powerful, if he didn't even dare to accept a challenge from Yuri, then he would become everyone's laughingstock. In that case, he could essentially kiss his political career goodbye.
