Chapter 53: The Sage Bears the Burden of His Sins as Demon Lord
“Gosh, I was about to die then and there! I even envisioned Hell’s gate before my eyes. If Demon Lord-sama didn’t help, I wouldn’t have managed to come back to life.”
Grom’s praise echoed across the audience room.
The expression “coming back to life” seemed out of place for someone like Grom, but I didn’t point it out.
It was fine if he was satisfied with that.
Grom had been like this for two days now.
After he recovered from his near-death state, he had been talking about my achievement all the time like a bard would do.
What came out of his mouth was greatly exaggerated, to the extent that I could only think he was describing a totally different person.
I left it alone this whole time since I thought he would eventually settle down, but it seemed to have turned worse over time instead.
During my absence, it seemed he had spread news about my battle against Saint Makia all around the capital.
