Looking at the entranced crowd calmly with Tristan in his hand, Basil retracted the swords he had sent at the Demons using [Master of Weapons]. He had almost exhausted his barely recovered Qi thanks to that very stunt.

Looking down at Tristan, who barely resembled a human due to his crushed face, Basil recalled what Ione and Iliana had done to him. They had altered his memory with a Pacifer Art, which would support their testimony in the future.
