Seeing that the serpent was waiting for them to make the first move before retaliating, Valyr went ahead and signaled to those in his group to stay where they were for the meantime.

'When I was brought down to the start of Rank 3 in my original identity, I felt like half of my strength was sealed then and there,' thought the young man as the system acquiesced to his command.
'Yet, in comparison, I don't feel much of a decrease in my strength at all.'
'Is it because I've yet to ascend to the peak of Rank 4?' asked Valyr to himself inwardly, only to then shift his attention towards the screen that popped up in his mind.
And there he obtained his answer.
