TartKing froze mid-heal, her hand still raised in the air.

The last of the monsters were cleared out three minutes later.

The open field went dead quiet. All anyone could hear was heavy breathing and the soft clink of dropped gear hitting the stone ground.

RedBean knelt by the two piles of dropped loot. Her hands shook nonstop, but she still picked up every item and sorted them out.

“We lost two people.”

Her voice was barely audible.

No one said a word.

Riley closed her eyes for a quick second. When she opened them again, her tone was calm and steady.

“Gather all their belongings. We’ll sort everything out per guild rules once we’re back.”

She looked over her team.

Some had red, teary eyes. Others looked pale and exhausted. A few squeezed their weapons/so hard the veins in their hands popped out.

Riley knew exactly how they felt.

Riley cut her off gently. “In your past life, you cleared this floor alone. There were no teammates, no extra gear, none of the variables we’re dealing with now. You warned us. That’s enough.”

Pineapple Beer stayed quiet for a moment, then nodded slowly.

The team regrouped at the edge of the open field.
