The group left the dungeon in silence. No one dared to joke around for now as they could still imagine the Alpha Beast staring at them, waiting for a chance to kill them…
Although it was unlikely, they couldn't forget their encounter with the Alpha Beast.
The torchlight of the last corridor eventually gave way to the glowing lights from the lamps outside the dungeon.
Although it was already dark outside, the Adventurer's Outpost was guarded day and night.
'We're close to the exit...' Everyone thought, but they didn't celebrate as no one wanted to jinx it.
One step after another, they emerged into the cool, fresh air outside.
"We're out!" Emma finally said.
The sudden change in atmosphere made everyone unconsciously breathe deeper, as though the world itself was giving them permission to live again.
Victor was the first to laugh. Not loudly, but enough to shake off some of the tension. "Hah… we're alive. I thought for sure I was going to piss myself too."
