Everyone looked at the scattered pieces of the Icestone Fiend.
Kyle just grinned. "Income secured!"
Sven landed on the ground and nodded at the distant Lily.
Lily had an expression of disgust and annoyance on her face.
She had lost two golems, and she wasn't happy about that.
Michael slowly walked closer with a smile.
Meanwhile, Falk was still standing far away, looking at everyone in shock.
He still couldn't come to terms with the situation.
"The enemy is dead," he whispered.
Then, he looked at the ground with a shocked expression.
"But what did I do?"
This was the new team's first fight, and as much as it pained Falk to admit…
Their old team couldn't even hope to compare.
Tracy, Horatio, and Bormine had been outstanding teammates.
Falk had seen them as his equal.
A true team.
But this new team…
He had launched one attack at the enemy.
Sure, he had caused some damage, but only because Sven and Kyle had already weakened the armor.
And that was it.
That was all the damage Falk had caused.
On top of that, Lily even needed to save him.
"Stay on the sidelines and let the adults handle this!" was what Lily had said during the fight.
These words echoed in Falk's mind again and again.
Lily had kept the Icestone Fiend busy, saved his life, caused immense damage to the enemy, and even supported Sven.
Michael had filled the area with Steam Ether, making it harder for the Icestone Fiend to make sense of its surroundings. Additionally, he had torn huge chunks out of the crab while also destroying one of its weapons.
Sven had weakened the enemy's armor, stunned it for a second, damaged it brutally, kept it busy, and even helped Kyle deal the finishing blow.
Kyle had broken the crab's entire back, making it open to attack. On top of that, he had opened the fight, which was always the most dangerous part. Then, he had killed the crab shortly after returning back to the group. Lastly, he gave everyone their orders and built the team himself.
And Falk?
A small poke.
That was what he had contributed to the mission's success.
With Tracy, Bormine, and Horatio in the team, Falk had still been useful. He was on the same level as them.
But this time…
All of his teammates were monsters.
He was an Armor Piercer!
He was supposed to deal with heavily armored enemies!
His attacking power was supposed to be very high!
And yet…
He couldn't compare to the three Armor Breakers that were Kyle, Sven, and Michael.
So, he had to contribute by causing a lot of damage after the armor was weakened, but then, how could he compare to someone like Lily?!
Falk's attacks were stronger than one, or even two, of Lily's golem's attacks, but she had ten!
Lily's peak power was similar to Falk's, but in terms of quantity, she was like five Falks.
It was hard for Falk to accept this.
However, even harder to accept was that the person he had doubted, Lily, had actually saved his life.
Would he have risked his life to save her?
At this point, Falk didn't know.
"Hey, good job."
