If those words were meant to give him comfort, it did very little. Zelos had no delusions that he alone could stop the demons alone. He knew it was a job much bigger than one person like himself.

But...he wanted to survive. He wasn't ready to throw away his life to this cause, like these people seemed to be. And if his life had taught him anything, he had to rely on himself to survive. There would never be anyone who would save him, especially in this strange new world where barely anyone knew him. All those people Vastania had named off, he didn't trust a single one of them to even try to keep him safe.

"Heh. I don't know if you mean to, but when you put it that way? It makes me sound even more expendable." Useless too. Why bother with a guy who can barely do anything when they got plenty of people with their Holy Light?
