    I felt my body beginning to slowly fall apart into pieces, as my small body fell from the skies, hundreds of meters above the ground below.


    After having destroyed the Demon King''s manifestation and then filling that hole so it couldn''te out from hell anymore, the rest of the Demon King Continent was purified.


    For some reason, the miasma was cleansedpletely through the powers of my attacks, and greenery grew through every single corner of this continent.


    There were no more strange miasmic tentacles, miasmic swamps, or any other sort of toxic wastnd.


    Instead, it had be a beautiful world of greenery, forests, nts, and spirits.


    As I fell, I saw Mark fly towards me.


    "yne!"


    Reducing his size into his humanoid form, and then flying with his phoenix wings, he caught me as I fell, gently carrying me with his arms.


    "Mark! We did it… We did it!"


    I couldn''t help but celebrate as he held me with his arms, I hugged him tightly, and then kissed him.


    "Yeah… I know, hahaha!"


    Mark couldn''t help butugh cheerfully as well.


    Every victory had to be celebrated, even if small, even if this world might just be a dungeon simtion.


    It was something we all achieved together, with all our efforts!


    "What a beautiful sight," Mark looked at the horizon, the sun slowly setting down, as the night slowly began to veil the skies. Beautiful stars shone brightly on top of the night sky, as the moons slowly emerged, shining like colorful jewels.


    "Looks like it''s night already," I said. "Hmm, I wonder if the entire world will now be deleted once the dungeon ispleted?"


    "At the beginning, it did say it was a ce where yers coulde, so perhaps it''ll open up for everyone now…" said Mark.


    "We''ll see, I suppose…"


    Slowly, we descended into the lush greenery down below, our entire party, friends and family, greeted us happily as we reached the floor. The remains of the cult, the demonic beasts, and everything had disappearedpletely.


    "nta!"


    "You''re back!"


    "Are you alright, Lady nta?!"


    "My liege!"


    I was greeted by most of my friends, especially the NPC friends, they were all happy to see me fine and dandy. I think thatst transformation took a toll on me though, I feel really exhausted both physically, mentally, and also from my soul.


    "I''m fine, I''m fine. No need to worry so much," I giggled. "Acorn, you can stop using skills, I''m fine."


    "O-Okay, I was worried, your body almostpletely disintegrated after that!" Acorn said. "I grew really worried…"


    "It''s fine dear," I giggled, patting his fluffy head.


    "Mom!" Elena hugged me tightly. "That was so amazing! You fucking nailed it, for real!"


    "Hahaha, I''m d you enjoyed the show?" I said. "Though, watch yournguage dear!"


    "A-Ah, sorry," she apologized, feeling embarrassed. "Anyways, are we done with the Dungeon yet? Is this world going to end or something?"


    "Hmmm, I don''t know. We''ll need to check what''s next. How''s Mercedes and the other soldiers?" I asked. "And Brisingra!"


    "They''re fine," Angelina appeared behind me, descending from the skies, her Archangel Transformation slowly deactivating as she went back to normal. "Phew… I feel so tired for some reason. This game is really good at simting all of these things."


    "Y-Yeah, I guess," Iughed along, while resisting the impulse of telling her that such exhaustion might be as real as it can get. "Mercedes!"


    "Ah, nta!" she ran towards me, hugging me. "Thank you, thank you so much for what you''ve done!"


    "I-It''s fine…" I sighed. "But… Now what do we do?"


    "Huh?" Mercedes wondered. "What do you mean?"


    Didn''t she truly understand that this world was a dungeon? Or maybe she doesn''t remember that?


    Also the world is still here, it''s strange. Is there some cooldown to it before it resets?


    Ding!

    So it''s really going to disappear. Everything we built, everyone we talked to, and even Mercedes. Little Titania, everyone…


    "…" I sighed, feeling rather despaired. "It was nice meeting you, Mercedes. You''re an amazing woman, and you endured so much… I hope you are well, wherever you are now."


    "E-Eh?" Mercedes felt flustered. "What… What do you mean with that?"


    "I… The Dungeon, this entire world, the Past. We essed it through a dungeon. But now we''vepleted all objectives. The Dungeon will reset in 24 hours. It''ll go back to nothing…" I sighed. "I''m sorry…"


    "S-So that''s… That was it, huh?" Mercedes took the truth surprisingly well. "I see… After that breakdown I had, I have somehow guessed it was like that… This, everything, it''s not real, right? The past cannot be changed…"


    "I''m sorry!" I stared crying, as I hugged her tightly. "I wish I could do something; I don''t want this world to go away…"


    "nta…" Mercedes started crying as well. "I''m grateful for your friendship, and for showing me how beautiful my daughter in the future would be… That is enough for me."


    The sun slowly and finally set beyond the horizon, as the moonlight illuminated this mncholic night.
