Victory?

Sofia's improvised attack, all thanks to Jonathan's' guidance, ended finishing off the strange Nightmare within seconds, piercing its head and its chest, and then exploding.
BOOOM! BOOOM!
Both explosions ended filling the Nightmare with thousands of metallic needles enhanced with holy light magic, which quickly made it fall into pieces from the inside out!
"Why… this damn… damn job… give me a… vacation…"
The overworked salaryman Nightmare groaned one last time, its eyes glaring at Sofia before shedding a tear, and then dissipating into black smoke.
"It's done…"
Sofia fell to her knees, gasping for air, she felt relieved the thing died, but at the same time, shocked to have learned so much out of nowhere.
"Jonathan… thanks," she said, smiling back at him. "I never thought I could do all of that before… I've been focusing too much on appearances I guess… maybe."
