Nova made his way back to Elesch, blinking once to warm up his expression. All his ego and arrogance had faded as the checkpoint was visible in the far distance. He smiled towards her, helping her get up, as Adam lifted her from his shoulders.
Nova cleared the path ahead, seeing the illuminating checkpoint ahead. Elesch and Adam smiled, knowing that they had managed to clear another D-rank dungeon, faster this time, improving their stats further.

Something not of this realm, or any of the other realms. Something that appeared weak, but in actuality was something that could rival him in his god form.
