Of course, there was nothing wrong with jumping into the action every now and then.
After all, a lord was still human—flesh and blood, with thoughts, emotions, and desires. And when you had power, the urge to fight, to dominate, to crush your enemies beneath your feet… that was only natural.
Thinking about that, Ethan just chuckled and shook his head.
No point overthinking it.
"Thanks, you guys," he said, glancing over at Cicero and the others.
"No, my Lord. It's our honor. And congratulations… you've become a Crimson Ultimate Hero!" Cicero replied, shaking his head with a bright, proud smile.
"It's all thanks to you guys too…" Ethan said, then paused and asked, "How long was I out? Where'd Karnak and the others go?"
As he spoke, he looked around the area, scanning the surroundings.
But Eldrin, Karnak, even Auremax—they were all gone. The only one still nearby was little Kaiin, who was slumped against the Ebonite Colossus Foundry, his tiny head bobbing like he was dozing off.
