Lyanna had been diligently going around to retrieve her arrows from the fallen monsters, but now she paused in front of one, weariness evident in her posture—her back arched, her arms slumped with exhaustion.

Milo's legs buckled, and he fell on his rear, awkwardly reaching into his pouch for an MP potion before he came down with an unwelcome case of mana deficiency.

Daisuke sat atop the carcass of a lupine monster, a satisfied smile gracing his face as he deftly flicked his dagger as if flipping a harmless coin. Though he made sacrifices to empower the party instead of himself, his skills had notably improved, and Zephyr, if nothing else, had experienced significant growth.

My HP dropped quite a bit since I no longer get the 12% Stat increase from Zephyr outside of combat, Daisuke noted before his gaze shifted elsewhere. Looks like my Unique Stats increased by a decent margin though, especially Composure.

Rexar shook the blemish from his gauntlets, his gaze fixed on Finnian who was meticulously cleaning his blade on the fur of the Floor Guardian. "Augh," he groaned wearily, the exhaustion evident in his voice. "I'm so tired—it feels like I'm about to die."

"Well, that would be a complete waste," Daisuke remarked as he leapt from atop the carcass. "Considering you've basically reached the goal."

"What? Really?" Rexar blurted out in excited disbelief. "Everything just felt like a blur to me!"

"Like we were just lifelessly going through the motions," Lyanna added with a strained smile.

"Exactly!"

"Well, that all ends here," Daisuke reassured, much to the party's delight. "It's been a few grueling weeks, but you've all managed to push through and gotten considerably stronger in the process—congratulations!"

Rexar glared at Daisuke. "Are you sure you're not some sort of undercover guild operative?"

Milo smiled awkwardly. "You sure are suspicious of Haxks."
