Within minutes of the group's arrival in the capital, Vicente and his companions were in the royal throne hall, together with the city's leading figures who had stayed behind.
With Vicente having exterminated the enemies around Grandis and healed the wounded men of the royal forces, they could all take a few hours to refresh themselves before worrying again about the dangers around the city.
"Congratulations on your advancement to the 5th stage, Vicente. You've achieved fantastic powers while traveling," King Seidel said as his men looked at Vicente with a gleam in their eyes.
"You've also developed a fantastic team... It's just a shame you didn't return sooner. But, fortunately, you're here now."
"I'm sorry about that. We wanted to return as soon as possible, but we got involved with the defense of the states in the central region of the continent to contain the arrival of stronger and more many monsters to the south."
