The entire stadium cheers for Mavuika and Lucius' return wildly as Paimon immediately flies over to Lucius, ignorant to how different he looked.
Paimon: Lucius!
Lucius: Paimon!
He replies back with a smile before it instantly fades, realising he is still in Mastered Corruption Mode.
Lucius: Wait, hold on, Paimon! I'm still transformed, you're gonna get-
*GLOMP*
Before he could finish his sentence, Paimon hugs him tightly, causing him to panic as he quickly grabs her and pulls her away.
Lucius: P-Paimon! You're gonna get burned, get away!
Paimon: Huh? What do you mean? Paimon's not feeling anything?
Lucius: Huh?
His eyes widen in surprise as Paimon tilts her head, finally getting a good look at his new look.
Paimon: The black veins are gone and you're... different. Is this another form of that thing you transform into before?
Lucius: Yeah, it's the ascended version. So... you're not burnt at all?
Paimon: Yeah, Paimon's all okay.
Lucius: That's... actually a relief.
He says with a sigh as Paimon hugs him again.
Paimon: Let Paimon keep hugging you for a bit... please. Paimon was so worried for you.
Lucius: Heh... alright.

In the interest of safety, Lucius follows a doctor to check for signs of Abyssal corrosion.
Louqua: Unbelievable... No signs of Abyssal corruption whatsoever. The same goes for the Pyro Archon.
Lucius: Whew, that's a relief.
Louqua: I mean, save for the red hair, red eyes, markings and red gem on the forehead, and the horns, you're pretty much fine.
Paimon: That means... There's officially nothing to worry about! You won, hahahaha! You actually won!
Lucius: Ahhh, now I can relax...
Multiple footsteps approaching from behind as Lucius turns and sees all of his Natlanese friends, stand in front of him, all bearing smiles. Though Citlali was a notable absence.
Iansan: You did it again, Lucius. Your strength is remarkable! And now, Natlan is finally free from the threat of the Abyss!
Mualani: Welcome back, great hero... I can't wait to tell your story to everyone!
Ororon: We should record it on a woven scroll, too. That way, your story will be preserved in my tribe for generations to come. I'm sure the Grannies and Gramps back home are already on it.
Chasca: Amazing job, Lucius. Becoming the first outlander with an ancient name definitely makes you a legend.
Lucius: Ahaha, I guess so.
Xilonen: The Lord of the Night was right to place her trust in you. She chose the perfect name.
Kachina: Th—The most important thing is that you made it back safe! Now, I don't have to worry about the rescue plan!
