Hearing that Alessia was here to go against the Cross of Ferocity, Mercus was very happy. The Cross had been rapidly gathering power after becoming active and that was making even the five overlords of the city worried. So now that a powerful S ranker like Alessia was also here to go against them, Mercus was naturally happy about it.
With that in mind, he was even more willing to help the girls out. So he answered all the questions very seriously and even promised to help the girls by investigating more about the item they were searching for.
According to Mercus, it was extremely hard to go against the Cross of Ferocity in direct combat mostly because they had two S rank powerhouses. One of them was the Supreme Protector of that organisation and the other one was a mystery who only appeared when the Cross was in grave danger.
