The two exchanged pleasantries before they went to the topic.
"I thought we were all going to die at that time." Vulcan suddenly said, his face displaying a hint of fear.
Alaric understood what he meant by those words.
"But then I saw how you fought." Vulcan raised his head, his eyes flashed with a glimmer of admiration.
"A young Transcendent Knight with the courage and determination to face a Catastrophe-grade beast."
"That's when I knew that only you have the power to slay that Catastrophe-grade beast and you didn't fail me."
Vulcan smiled faintly.
"You are probably the first in the empire to achieve such a feat. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you have the same level of talent as the legendary warriors of the ancient era."
Alaric chuckled with a look of embarrassment. This was the highest praise he received from someone other than his family.
"I don't deserve your praise, Sir Vulcan."
