After saying that, David retrieved a purplish-gold ring of thunder from his storage.
David waved the ring in front of Fane and said, "Do you know what this is? An ignorant warrior like you probably doesn't know what this is at all. You probably don't even know that ring-shaped weapons exist!"
Fane's lips twitched. It was already the second time Fane had seen a weapon like that. Even though Fane had not been in Middle Province for that long, he knew that weapons like that were not rare.
David felt like Hestia Continent was a completely rural countryside that had nothing. The weapons they regularly saw were probably weapons that the warriors of Hestia Continent had never seen before.
The viewing area outside of the isolated space was in a bit of an uproar thanks to what David said. The warriors of Hestia Continent were so angry that some of them even started to curse at him on the spot, "Ignorant fool! What's so special about ring weapons? It's everywhere in Hestia Continent! He's talking as if Hestia Continent has nothing at all!"
"That's right. So what if he came from Chaos Continent? He doesn't know how to do anything other than speaking blindly!"
The warriors of the Chaos Continent immediately quarreled with the warriors from Hestia Continent in defense of David, "Is there anything wrong with calling all of you ignorant? For so many years, all of you have lived in a closed-off world. You don't know how vast the outside world is at all!"
"That's right, I feel like David is right. The only way we even met here is because Hestia Continent, Chaos Continent, and White Marsh Continent were on equal footing when the Whirling World was first created.
"After so many years, Hestia Continent was sealed off the whole time. Your standards have fallen far behind ours. Can't you even understand that? Don't talk as if Hestia Continent is incredibly strong. Just look at this slaughter gambit. Of the ten participants, Fane's the only one from Hestia Continent! Doesn't that prove how weak you are?"
Hestia Continent had fallen behind the other two worlds for various reasons. That was something the warriors of Hestia Continent did not and could not deny.
However, David mocked Fane and said that Fane could not even recognize ring weapons. That crossed the line because ring weapons were not rare. Even if Hestia Continent had been sealed off for many years, they were not far behind to that degree.
David's words were a direct insult to the whole of Hestia Continent, so how could Hestia Continent's warriors accept that?!
In the isolated space, Fane coldly stared at David. He looked at the snide look on David's face, and could naturally hear what David was implying.
He snorted and said, "I can't believe you're so ignorant. Do you really think a ring weapon is a rare weapon? These things are everywhere in Hestia Continent, but I can't believe you think it's rare. You're really expanding my horizons here!"
Those words caused David's face to turn red. That pride he felt was suddenly completely deflated.
The warriors from Hestia Continent got excited in the viewing area after hearing that. Some of them even started to clap!
Someone loudly shouted, "Fane is right! David's the one who's short-sighted. He actually thinks something that's found everywhere is rare. Who's the ignorant one now?"
