After the challenge match ended, the mercenary groups admitted their defeat and offered Rhode their equipment according to the agreement of their battle.
Of course, these people were divided into two groups. One group, led by Hiller, that hoped that Starlight could become a support for the Paphield region. Shearer even gave them the fire element giant sword that never left his side, expecting Rhode to complete his unfinished business.
"This sword is not of much use for me, so I will give it to you now… If you really can lead Starlight to victory, then I will feel really relieved."
Hiller's words were very sincere, but it was difficult for Rhode to be moved. He even wondered if Hiller targeted his mercenary group because he didn't have many two-handed swordsmen, so he intentionally gave that sword to him…
