Tala looked at the rubble, a look of fear flashing across his eyes. "Are you hurt?" he asked, finally looking down at Alex.
"I'm fine," Alex said. "I wasn't hurt."
"Did you really defeat the Sun Wraith?" Gorang asked.
"Whatever it was, I did defeat it," Alex said. "Why? Is that surprising?"
"Surprising? That's unheard of. We need dozens of warriors working together to defeat a single Sun Wraith in the desert. The fact that you did it all by yourself is quite surprising."
"It must've been a very weak one," Tala said from the side, and Gorang nodded.
Alex wondered if he should have explained to them that it was in fact quite strong. Strong enough, at least, to easily kill a saint if they made a mistake. But he kept that to himself.
Touting his strength wasn't something he liked doing.
