He'd just arrived a little while ago, trying to adjust to this strange new place. But Hendrik knew that he couldn't get comfortable here because he had sworn himself to the Luminary and had to protect him.

As people ran past him now in a panic, Hendrik looked around and saw the cause of the distress. With a glare at the beast, he approached it with his sword drawn. If someone didn't take it down, who knew what damage it could do or how much harm it would bring to others. And as a knight of Heliodor, he wouldn't run.

This wasn't about being a hero, or having anything regarding to do with personal glory. It was a simple matter of a monster being a threat to others and Hendrik wasn't afraid to face it alone if he had to. He'd cleared monsters out in Octagonia, so this was nothing new for him.
