'Pride, can you help me check if there's any other monster around? This thing's armour was restored by some weird means and I can't seem to figure it out.'
[Got it.]
Evan sent a mental message to Pride through their connection, turning his attention back to the exhausted blade wraith upon hearing the high demon's reply.
'Well, my state is not far off from its own.'
He checked himself and realized that he only had little magic power left, clicking his tongue in annoyance at his earlier actions.
'I really should have stayed hidden to take a magic potion. But he wanted to attack Eliza, I couldn't let that happen.'
[There's nothing else in the room.]
He received a reply from Pride, confirming that there was no other existence in the monster room beside them.
'So how...?'
