[Sir Eugene, are you alright?] Kristina’s voice, riddled with concern, was heard inside Eugene’s head.
By now, Eugene was getting used to being worried about in this way. Right now, it wasn’t just Kristina doing so, but Mer and Raimira inside his cloak were also crying out in concern as they clung to Eugene’s sides, calling out ‘Sir Eugene’ and ‘Benefactor’ respectively.
It was true that his current state warranted such concern. Eugene had been struck down by the power of Iris’ Demoneye repeatedly. Although he had only been hit by the explosions caused when dark matter was condensed to its limits, the attacks were both simple and effective, as the shockwaves practically ignored Eugene’s defenses.
But he hadn’t died. Even though the attacks were so deadly that it wouldn’t be strange if he were dead, Eugene was still alive. Even though all of the defenses protecting his body’s exterior had been shattered, those weren’t the only defenses Eugene had.

“If it’s just for the rest of today,” Eugene responded as he began standing back up.
Anise knew that, whether it was Eugene or Hamel, he would always answer that question in the same way.
This battle had come as a surprise. None of the people here had been prepared to fight against a Demon King. Even so, they still had to fight. Because they had to win this fight. They absolutely had to kill the Demon King here, in this sea.
Eugene looked around, “What about Sienna?”
“You can just ask me that yourself,” Sienna’s grumbling voice was heard from the distance.
When the Demon King had gathered up her dark power, the one who had suffered the most wasn’t Eugene,...
