He took that personally
I have killed four (4) Lagiacruses. Lagiacri? Lagia-cry 😭
It's not many but it's honest work. Enough to make some armor and a weapon, so far.
It's a nice feeling to have a goal other than "beat the game" and "complete all the optional and side quests." Now I fight Lagi, rest, then fight Lagi again. My technique is already improving and he doesn't kill me as quickly anymore.
