Xenos closed his eyes. He understood what his friend was saying. He was just denying and ignoring it for a long time. What happened during that battle was an eye-opener for him. Invincible, he actually thought that his friend was someone like that and yet he still fell and almost died.
"I apologize for thinking that we could rely on you and the other mages just because you have power greater than those we are facing." Xenos bowed his head as he apologized.
Maius saw his friend's fists clenched tightly because of what happened. He couldn't blame him. Although he almost died that day, he was glad that his friend now understood the situation. On another note, he was worried that the other leaders would not receive his proposal with an open mind.
