Leo continued attacking the monsters until there weren't any nearby, but the cold air was making him shiver. He quickly returned to the barrier, where the warmth made him sigh in relief and the adventurers cheered.
As he landed outside his tent, Richard and a group of men appeared alongside him. The older man spoke in a jovial voice, ''I must admit your power still amazes me, Leo. The empire is lucky they summoned you.''
''Yes they are,'' he answered.
Richard nodded. ''We will be moving toward the Deathcore Castle in the passage. Perhaps you'd like to stick with us during the journey?''
Leo looked at the man before responding with a knowing expression, ''I want triple what the adventurers are getting paid.''
When the group of merchants heard this, a younger woman stepped forward with a disgusted look on her face. ''Aren't you a hero? Aren't you meant to defend us?''
