"Quit fluttering me; after all, the success of a team couldn't be determined through a single person," the man named Aryx replied and smiled afterwards.

Based on his clothing, he was a close-combat fighter who used a strange type of sword. It was a single-edged sword with a convex, curved blade that broadened towards the point.
