Ellis stood in utter silence for a couple of seconds, his hand was on his chest—which was heavily rising up and going down.
It had been over three minutes since Northern had said what he said, and yet Ellis still couldn't make sense of it.
'He spared a monster?'
Just when he thought Northern was out of surprises, this happens?
'I thought I had mastered the act of not getting surprised anymore.'
He really had.
But this was a different situation.
If truly Northern was strong enough to spare a monster...no, for a monster to surrender to him, then this changes all of Ellis's evaluations of Northern.
Of course, he found Northern to be very interesting, strange, and strong in a lot of ways. All these ways, however, were coated in the shadows of mystery.
So while Ellis saw a certain value in Northern, it was a bit tough to compare him to other people he'd seen, especially in terms of combat.
