"Alright, team. We're at the final stretch of this mission," Elric announced as the team gathered around him.
"There are only three bases left to go through, and it just so happens that those final three bases are near each other. Once we're done with this, we can return home and relax for a bit, so cheer up and don't let your guard down. Understand?"
"Yes, Captain!"
Despite being at a constant pace, Team Elric remained fairly energetic.
If this was before Cedric joined them, they'd probably be on the verge of a mental breakdown at this point because roaming the Black Lands generally does that to people. However, with Cedric, it's different.
Since he could modify bases into what could be considered 'luxury hotels' in a place like this, the team was able to release their tension and rest properly, allowing them to continue in this mission at their peak state.
