One week later.
Milenia's residence.
Aoi recovered faster than Agares had expected. Milenia had done everything she could to help restore Aoi's condition.
Sure enough, it only took a few hours for Aoi to recover from the training session the other day.
One by one, the adventurers left the city to return to the surface. Their mission here was complete—Agares was dead, and they believed Milenia.
Leon and Silva had left with their party four days ago. News of Agares's death inside the dungeon had spread widely among the people. Helderic felt relieved that the demon had been defeated.
As promised, he awarded a grand prize to the person or adventuring team who played a major role in Agares's death. In this case, Leon and his party received the most credit.
On the other hand, the Thorn Family was confused. They had been assigned to protect the successor of the Demon Emperor—Agares.
