Kotov Mansion, Guest Room No.5.
"To think a day would come that even I would need saving… sigh… it seems I am getting old too…"
Ashtel took a deep sigh as he lamented the fact that he couldn't defeat the Demon King by himself, and if not for the fact that Rio had come to help him out, he would have been dead by now!
"The Demon King seems like a special case… someone so highly corrupted like him shouldn't be able to wield a legendary skill; he's just too unordinary, you don't need to blame yourself for that…"
Rio tried to console him, but Ashtel just shook his head at those words.
"No. A loss is a loss, Rio."
"Nobody cares what kind of attack the winner used to settle the battle; everything depends on who's the final winner and who's the loser."
"I let my guard down and didn't expect him to have any legendary skills. I lost because of my own carelessness; if I had expected him to have such powers and had prepared early on, I wouldn't have been defeated so disgracefully…"
