"Once again, I welcome you all. I am very grateful for the actions you performed in my absence. Rio Xarion, for defeating the monster who assaulted and nearly destroyed this city... Truly, thank you!" He declared, bowing his head in respect.
Just as I thought. Like all simpletons, Galandel was no different. Every man respects only the strong.
A grin appeared on my face and I shrugged, seemingly nonchalant about the entire thing.
"I was only doing what I set out to. It's a shame that the monster escaped from the Boss Room and caused so much damage to the city. If only I was a little earlier..."
Galandel's face partially fell too, reflecting on the incident as well.
"No, you shouldn't blame yourself. To be honest, it's all my fault. If only I was present when the monster came... I would have been able to do something..." He muttered.
What an idiot! Even if you were present, what could you have done against Wrath, I mused.
