"One minute," Leo said, raising a finger for emphasis.
He'd just finished consuming a vial of minor healing potion to combat the intoxication that came with absorbing Maleagant's will seed. It was quite effective.

Leo rose to his feet and brushed himself off before giving Morgana the thumbs up.
"Anytime you're ready," he said.
Morgana stepped down to the bottom step where Leo was and made sure he was within her shadow before she snapped her fingers and unfroze time.
And like a wave crashing on the shore, sound and color returned. Then came the screams of players who were just beginning to realize that they'd defeated the raid's final boss. The cheering soon followed.
