"Safer? How is it safer?" one of the soldiers couldn't help but ask.
"I have heard from others that deaths are not uncommon when fighting the Void Guardian," Yuan said. "Since I can defeat them alone, why risk others' lives?"
"But wouldn't that just put your own life at risk?"
Although the soldiers were grateful that Yuan cared enough about their safety to endanger himself, the thought of him doing so still didn't sit right with them.
Yuan chuckled and said, "My life is not at risk. I can fight a dozen of them alone if I wanted to, let alone a single one."
The soldiers' jaw dropped to the ground at his arrogant claims, but they decided not to comment on it.
They left the city shortly afterward and began their mission.
Meanwhile, inside the facility that extracted Unknown Ores and Unknown Crystals for energy, a group of individuals gathered to discuss a certain issue.
