He Became the Only Ally of the Abandoned Warrior

No one dared to respond to Elixir’s declaration filled with hatred.

Neither the sinners nor even the three who could face Lin with a clear conscience had any way to intervene.

Even though they wanted to alleviate Lin’s anger, Elixir’s lack of reaction to the words of these three left them helpless.

Lucy and Arsil stood frozen in tears, paralyzed by the condemnation directed at them. Tigria quietly sobbed, feeling a hollow pain as though something had pierced her chest.

The others, too, remained silent as they watched the scene replaying their own actions toward Lin, feeling every bit of shame they deserved. Those who had once tried to talk back were now too afraid, having seen the Hero’s party verbally battered into submission.

Among them, Nydrian alone held onto her composure.

‘If we back down now, the Shieldbearer will surely turn our savior into a demon.’@@novelbin@@

Desperately, she clung to the thought of finding hope within despair.

She knew all too well she wasn’t worthy.

Yet, Lin, who had once saved her and recognized her research that no one else cared about, was now the one she and everyone else had to save.

Some might severely chastise Nydrian for even attempting this, saying, “Who do you think you are? How dare a fool who pushed her only savior, her sole understanding ally, into ruin dare to do this now?”

She understood her foolishness well.

Only after being entirely rejected did she realize just how deep a wound she had inflicted by denying Lin.

The pain felt as if pieces of her heart had been cut away.

She wanted nothing more than to collapse and weep.

But ironically, what kept her standing was Lin’s last words to her in a letter.

[The porter of the Hero’s party who believes in your potential more than anyone else, Lee Lin]

The final line of the last letter she received.
