@REDS
I don't know what you want spoiled so I'll just spoil who the person at the end was.
Tell me if you want more spoilers and I'll see what I can do.
@TrueGoddessReincarnation We see them in the first couple of chapters, so they're not completely out of the blue. But yeah, they did not have a lot of screen time so far.
@YamiryuuZero The hero was provided with plenty of information by Ares and other people. Toudo just chose to ignore it. I mean just this chapter, he was told that other people can and will handle the problem, but he decided that he had to get involved.
Another thing, comprehending human speech...
@stilgar At what point do they see him as dead weight? He's done his job perfectly. The parties problem with Ares is that he's a guy and he bluntly calls them out as the idiots they are.
