"Rumble..."
In a daze, Tielle seemed to feel a slight vibration.
It appeared to be an earthquake coming from a far-off distance that lightly reached here.
Because of this faint tremor, Tielle woke up and opened her eyes.
"Are you awake?"
As soon as she opened her eyes, Tielle heard a familiar and gentle voice.
So, Tielle turned her head and looked beside her.
There, Vivian, who had leaned her shield against the rock wall, was looking at her with a smile on her face.
Upon closer inspection, multiple spots on Vivian's body were stained with blood and dust; she seemed unharmed but looked very weary and disheveled.
Beside her, Lu Muya and Merica were leaning their heads against each other. Like Vivian, they were covered in blood and dust, utterly exhausted as if they had just been through a fierce battle.
And, of course, Tielle was the same.
