The Author's POV

Chapter 307

"See, what did I tell you? With him there, the western side is safe."

A slight smile appeared on Smallsnake's lips as he looked at Bemus beside him.

Secretly he was sighing in relief.

Although everything went as he had expected, there were some close calls. Ren's way of fighting was a lot more different than he had seen before, but still, he had won, and that was all that really mattered.

The only one that wasn't happy with the situation was Ryan, who sulkily said.

"My calculations were wrong, Ren took much longer than usual."

"...You thought so too?"

Ryan's words caught Smallsnake's attention who lowered his head and patted him on the head.

"I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought so."

Now used to Smallsnake patting him on the head, Ryan didn't react and continued to sulk.

"My calculations were off by five minutes..."

"Five minutes?"

"Yes."

"Hmm."

Placing his and on his chin, Smallsnake mused for a couple of seconds. Then, turning his attention towards the video depicting Ren's fight, he nodded in agreement.

"Looks like you're right. Ren could've ended this five minutes faster the expected."

"Did something happen to Ren?"

"Not sure..."

Smallsnake's brows knit.

However, he eventually shrugged his shoulders.

"If you really want to know, we can ask him later. Maybe he was trying to save mana? I'm not really sure..."

Although he had no idea why Ren chose to take his time in eliminating the demons, Smallsnake wasn't really worried.

Having known Ren for over a year now, he knew that he wasn't someone reckless.

If he did something, there was a logical reason behind it.

Patting Ryan in the shoulder he reminded.

"We should probably go to sleep soon. Another attack might happen at any time, so we should be ready for that."

"...okay."

Though disappointed, Ryan obeyed Smallsnake's words.

On the other hand, standing not far away from the duo...

'Calculations wrong? Five minutes off? Just what in the world are they talking about?'

Bemus wondered as he speechlessly looked at the duo discussing amongst themselves.

Although he had heard what they said, he couldn't comprehend what they were saying.

Were they saying that the human that defeated the Baron ranked demon did not go all out?

That came to him as a shock since his performance was still deeply imprinted in his mind.

"Sir Bemus."

Disrupting Bemus out of his thoughts was Smallsnake.

Lifting his head, Bemus asked.

"...What is it?"

"Do you mind if we go take a quick nap?"

"Nae, go, go."

Waving his hand, he quickly shooed them out of the control room.

Their performance was excellent. Furthermore, Smallsnake's words were correct. Another wave was coming soon, and so the best option right now was to sleep.
