20 minutes before the awakening of William.
"What just happened?" Max asked, still shaken by everything they had just gone through.
Everything was going smoothly before, but then they encountered a boss who was way above the A rank level, like it was supposed to be, and basically at S rank.
After encountering it, Max basically thought his life had been forfeited, but he didn't want to go down with a fight.
However, just when he was about to die, John appeared out of nowhere and killed the S-rank dungeon boss on his own.
It was really shocking how John was basically holding back, even when facing one of the strongest humans alive.
Max hadn't known John for a long time, but he was a very social person and easily made friends.
Max was almost worried, thinking he was about to see another friend of his die, and that too while saving him.
But surprisingly, John managed to win even without his help.
