As the whole team emerged from the tangled maze, Selene exhaled a long sigh of relief, her shoulders finally relaxing.
The cool dungeon air seemed to carry away the tension, if only for a brief moment.
"That wasn't too bad. I thought C+ dungeons were supposed to be difficult."
Orion remarked, his expression bright. He was only able to say this because he was being nurtured by their party.
Selene wanted to shake Orion and tell him to take these words back. But before she could do that, Zara decided to take action.
Zara's eyes widened, and she slapped her hand over his mouth, muffling his words.
"Orion! Are you trying to jinx us?"
He blinked, his eyes round with innocence, and then nodded sheepishly.
"S-sorry."
Selene cracked a smile, her nerves slightly soothed by their banter.
"Don't worry, Zara. I don't think he's jinxed us… yet."
Ethan crossed his arms, his gaze sliding to Selene.
"You seem pretty sure of that. You got insider info you're not sharing?"
