Rhys controlled his strength — but he might have used a little more force than necessary since he needed to end the situation as fast as possible. The reports about the nymphs' strength were not an exaggeration at all, and Rhys felt her getting stronger by the second; if he did not end it the moment he did, the nymph would have probably killed him soon.

"Did… did you kill her?" Miquella was the first to react as the rampaging roots and vines finally stopped destroying everything around it. She quickly slithered toward Rhys, her wiggle slightly careful as she stared at the nymph in his hand,

"The… Hero of Prophecy starts his journey… by killing a sacred nymph? Well, I suppose… you did save us."

"She's not… dead," Rhys very gently placed the nymph on the ground; his words slightly hesitant, "And I'm not the Hero of Prophecy."
