As Luna silently left, Adam propelled himself to his feet like a ninja. His enthusiastic claps echoed through the camp, drawing everyone's attention despite their exhaustion as his voice thundered.
"Good job on tonight's battle. I'm proud of the victory and progress everyone has made since the hobgoblin's raid. Despite the hardship, we protected each other, and all progressed. Congratulations everyone! We are demons now!"
Everyone's joyous roars enlivened the dead camp as their fists cut through the air in triumph.
The freshly healed Garduck rose to his feet and observed him, eyes sparkling with uncontainable joy. It has been his oldest dream to climb the demonic hierarchy, like many others. But just like them, he had given up in the cruel demon realm.
More than a mere advancement, it was a testimony of their lord's care for everyone, even the imps no one liked.
