Chapter 1168: Final Battle (1)

"This always gets to me, no matter how large or small the scale of a battle is. This... eternity that we have to spend waiting for it to begin, the dullness of it all. How dreadfully long we must wait for the thrills of battle to sink its claws into us."

Jahi's murmuring filled the quiet air as we stared out across the sand, the four of us fully equipped and ready for the battle to come as we took in the horde of monsters and warriors across from us, their chitin and metal armor gleaming beneath the harsh sun.

"You'll always need to wait for something, no matter what. Be it a battle, nighttime, a meal or anything else, there's always going to be waiting involved, and you know that. So get accustomed to it, and don't take it for granted."

The Demoness just grunted at that, her eyes remaining locked to the city walls as she leaned against her shield; the new armor she wore contrasted her skin nicely, while it complimented the rest of us rather well too.
