Chapter 243

John raised his glass in a toast. "To the team. To our victories, and to the battles yet to come."

They clinked their glasses together, their spirits unbroken and their resolve unwavering. The battle against the forces of darkness was far from over, but they knew that as long as they stood together, they could overcome any challenge.

And so, with the dawn of a new day, they prepared for whatever lay ahead, their hearts filled with hope and their minds focused on the mission to protect the world from the shadows that sought to consume it.

The fight against darkness would continue, but they were ready. Together, they would face whatever came their way, their spirits unyielding and their determination unwavering. For they were the guardians of light, and they would never let the darkness prevail.
