Eli let out a shaky, ecstatic breath as the boss ogre's massive, broken body finally crumbled. Its weight slammed into the ground like a building collapsing, sending shockwaves through the ruined street.
"YES!" Eli yelled, voice hoarse with adrenaline. His fist clenched reflexively around Kairo's shoulder, still trembling from the rush. "Fuck, yes!"
Even Mel let out a sharp whistle from behind, wiping sweat off his brow as the last of his summoned vines slithered back into the cracked pavement. "Holy hell. That was easier than I expected. Good job, Captain Bloodbath!"
'It's so different when there's more of them…'
Eli's heart thundered in his chest, but his body didn't feel like it was about to collapse anymore. There was a steadying weight now—safety that came with being surrounded by monsters who fought on his side.
Between Kairo, Mel, Mio, and Zaira—this wasn't a battle anymore.
This was a massacre.
