As the whole atmosphere of the room within the dungeon changed, I smiled involuntarily.
"You did it, huh…"
"Of course, I did."
Alex responded to me without opening his eyes. Or rather, it seemed like he couldn't open them even if he wanted to. His skill had really put a strain on his eyes and his mind.
"When can you open your eyes?"
"Probably in a few minutes, but I'm pretty sure I won't be able to see properly. And I'll probably be in severe pain for a few days, but..."
"Worth it, you say?"
Alex smiled confidently.
"Yes, worth it."
Widening my smile, I approached him, lifted him off the ground, put my arm around his shoulders, and supported him.
"Come on, lean on me. We're leaving this damned dungeon."
Alex did not answer but nodded. Meanwhile, he was trying to open his eyes but he couldn't. He seemed to be focused on it.
