23.7 Prog?

It was over.

[COMBAT COMPLETE]

I let out a sigh of relief as the boss finally fell in front of us. We were panting by the end of it, but it was a fun kind of tired what with all the smiles on our faces.

"It's finally dead..." Guidance let out a small chuckle. "Heh- Haha! It's finally dead!"

"We did it!" Shizu cheered, her breaths almost coming out as gasps as she fell to the ground. "We actually did it!"

"We've finally done our duty!" Maruki proudly declared. He was the only one still standing as if nothing even happened. "We can finally continue on with our journey!"

I almost wanted to ask 'What journey?,' before I remembered that we were technically still on the Empire's payroll. It honestly felt like it was a long time ago since we last talked with the Emperor. We've been at this boss for so long that I don't even remember why we were fighting anymore.

"Right! We can finally set sail!" Shizu excitedly yelped. "Vestyge won't know what'll hit them!"
