Chapter 465 - Chapter 462 – Rest at the Crater of Victory

The three of them sat at the edge of the newly formed massive crater, their bodies extremely exhausted after the long, grueling battle and the devastating explosion that had turned the entire ant nest area into scorched ruins. Black-and-white smoke still rose slowly from the depths of the crater, which gaped like a giant wound in the dungeon's body, carrying a sharp scorched smell, a mix of melted stone, burned monster flesh, and scorched earth. The characteristic cold dungeon wind blew gently through the cracks, stirring fine dust that floated in the air like gray snow, stinging their eyes and drying their throats. Sylvia sat leaning against Sol, who was still in his small golden kitten form, her breathing ragged and irregular. Her already pale face was now as white as paper, her lips dry, and her dark red eyes looked dim from complete mana exhaustion. Her usually resilient undead body now felt heavy and weak, with regeneration progressing slowly like a machine running out of oil.
