His trick to stall for time began to show effect. It was a good thing, but...
As he watched Ricky's murderous gaze, Thales felt even more troubled.
'What did I do? But... if he is a Mystic…' Thales scratched his head and recalled why the Disaster Swords came to this place. 'Right. Dragon Breaker. No, it's the Blade of Purification. But… What do we do now?'
Suddenly, a dry and dull voice came from a dark place behind him.
"Remain calm."
Thales snapped out of his disorderly thoughts.
"Calm down."
Both Barney Junior and Beldin were surprised and turned around.
"Remaining calm becomes even more important the more disadvantageous a situation you are in, and when you are forced to face a strong enemy."
When he saw who was behind him, Thales became stunned. Even Ricky's gaze grew intense. He no longer watched Thales with his murderous gaze.
