An Extra’s POV

The Undead had the appearance of Lich from legend, even having a crooked style to go with its aesthetic. However, since its face was mostly obscured, it was difficult to tell its true identity.

Adonis cast a forlorn look on the Summon, saying nothing for a moment.

It forced Rey to speak.

"You mean the Undead?"

The Hero turned to give Rey a confused look, before bursting into a pleasant laugh that made his face appear even more handsome.

"Of course not, silly. I meant Sir Ralyks."

For a second or two, silence radiated among the boys. Rey opened his lips to make an "Ohhhh…" sound as Billy slightly nodded in agreement.

"Compared to him, am I really that strong?" Adonis chuckled as he shrugged.

"I'm not even confident in beating that Undead that he summoned. Not unless I go all-out."

Rey's eyes widened in surprise. It was clear what was currently afflicting Adonis.

—Inferiority Complex.

"To be honest, Rey… I don't even feel like a capable leader any longer. Whether it comes to strength or intelligence, he's ahead of me in every facet." Adonis gave a sad smile as he looked at Rey.

"I know I shouldn't be frustrated about it. It's for the greater good of mankind, but… sometimes I just can't help but feel envious."

It was difficult imagining Adonis being envious of anyone for anything at all.

He was incredibly handsome, intelligent, powerful, and most of all… he was very kind.

Everyone looked up to him.

Yet, no one could deny that Ralyks was definitely more intelligent and powerful than any of the Otherworlders.

No one knew what he looked like, but a lot of them expected to see an incredibly handsome man for some reason.

But, if there was something Adonis had over Ralyks, it was his most attractive trait.

"You're a better person than he is." Rey declared with a straight face.

"W-what?"

Adonis looked stunned by the words he heard from Rey, but the latter didn't back down. Instead, he doubled down on his declaration.

"You're very kind, Adonis. Even back on Earth, and now here… you always put everyone into consideration and ensure we are fine."

It was now Rey's turn to place his hand on Adonis' shoulder and smile.

"It's only thanks to you that we've been able to make it this far." As Rey uttered those words, Adonis' eyes began to grow moist.

"We aren't following Ralyks just because he is strong, you know? It's because you endorse him."

"What are you even saying, Rey?" Adonis chuckled as he tried to dismiss the boy's words.
