Even from far away, the loud explosions that were caused by Lux's and Asmodeus' attempt to stop the Monster Army were heard by the refugees, who were making their way toward Aeston Town.
Boris glanced at the smoke rising in the distance and frowned.
When Lux had told him that he would try to delay the approaching monsters, Boris wasn't informed of the methods that the Half-Elf would use to do it.
Judging from the loud explosions earlier, he at least assumed that the Half-Elf had succeeded in his mission.
What they needed right now was an opportunity to increase the distance between them, and thanks to Lux's interference, the Monster Army had momentarily stopped their pursuit.
"Guthram, you sent me one hell of a helper," Boris muttered.
When he saw Lux for the first time, he didn't think much of the teenager. However, right now, it was the Half-Elf who was doing the job that he should have be doing—ensuring the safety of the people that had entrusted their lives to him.
