Ed could only smile wryly at the great response of the orcs who were awaiting their savior. That was because he was well aware that things weren't looking good for the settlement. He even felt a bit apologetic.
'I came too late' He had tried, he really had, but… clearly with great power came great restrictions and liabilities.
All things considered, Ed was surprised the dungeon even let him go. The reason was that he quite simply didn't get to negotiate any terms. The dungeon only silently assented to deserting the pursuit of Eon as it stopped spamming messages through the system.
Ed could not possibly know why, he could only infer that Eon was no longer a threat. Was he dead then? He couldn't know that either, but if Eon was, Ed would not be able to stop himself from feeling sour after going through all that suffering.
