"Wait a minute, if this mission was that difficult and we all managed to come back alive... the rewards must be substantial!"
"Yeah, we just hit the jackpot!"
Everyone was all smiles, the atmosphere quite lively.
Then—
Thud.
Thud…
The players relaxed, plopping down onto the ground, completely lacking the demeanor of strong warriors.
They sat among the ruins, with little desire to do anything, and many even sprawled on the ground.
"We're going back!"
"We can return to the Hall of Valor now. We earned a massive amount of Valor Contribution Points; we're all going to take off!"
"Oh! Long live the Hall of Valor!!"
This group of players, devoid of any legendary aura, stretched out their arms and shouted like children.
Nearby, the king of the Principality of Florence was also catching his breath while seated on a chunk of rubble.
