After the man's death, a brief discussion broke out among the group. Skyler shared what he knew about the matter, and Austin and Yuris immediately suggested heading north to investigate the villains' activities.
Zack and Isaac offered no objections.
Everyone, however, expected Skyler to refuse—any delay could jeopardize their progress in the Battle Royal. Yet, to their surprise, he agreed. When they gave him surprised looks, his only response was:
"I vowed to become the greatest Light in Eldoria and protect it. How could you think I'd turn away while so many are dying?"
Five pairs of eyebrows twitched at his overly heroic and solemn declaration.
Wow.
His shamelessness just leveled up.
Skyler noticed their weird expressions.
"What? Do you have any doubts?"
Everyone shook their heads at once.
How could they possibly dare?
