Even when John had returned to the group, everyone was still stupefied.
They were all staring dumbfoundedly at John, forgetting even to speak.
Seeing their expressions, John couldn't help but find it amusing, "Why are you all standing there stunned? The monster's gone. You should get out of combat mode already."
Everyone snapped out of their daze.
They hurriedly deactivated their combat mode.
The heavy fighter's shield reverted to its normal size...
The mage stowed away his staff and drank a potion...
Everyone else began to use supplies to recover...
Adam came up to John, smiling wryly, "Sorry for the embarrassment, Galewind. We didn't expect that we'd have to rely on you to clean up our mess in the end."
