Reflections of the Heart 

With the demon commander defeated, Zhang Wei and Elara approached Mengting and Mingliang with triumphant smiles on their faces. It had been a long and arduous battle, but the reunion of this group of friends was a joyful moment amidst the chaos of the demon realm.

Mengting and Mingliang embraced their missing comrades warmly, grateful to see them safe and sound. After a few moments of shared relief and happiness, Elara took the initiative to suggest their next steps.

"Let's head back to our base," she said, her voice carrying a tone of exhaustion but also determination. "We can catch up and rest there. It's not far from here."

Zhang Wei nodded in agreement. "Elara's right. We've been through a lot, and we could all use some rest and recovery. Plus, we have some important information to share."
