When the final sword fell, the wolf-beast that was like a small mountain seemed to evaporate, disappearing without a trace.
Only a handful of faint gray dust remained on the ground.
"Won...we won?"
Gauss blinked.
He cautiously surveyed the clearing where the wolf-beast once stood, and after confirming no other forces emerged, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked around at the surroundings.
The scarlet was quickly fading.
The green symbolizing life and the icy blue of frost and snow gradually dominated his vision.
Back...to the real world.
"Gauss!"
"Lord Gauss!"
"Captain!"
Excited shouts came from behind him.
Gauss turned around.
It was Aaliyah and a few others quickly jogging towards him.
Albena rushed ahead and lifted Gauss off the ground.
"Gentle...be gentle."
"First...first, put me down!"
Exhausted after the burst, Gauss hurriedly cried out several times.
The blushing Albena quickly put Gauss down as he was nearly out of breath.
