Kim Hyeong-Jun double-checked that the black creature was dead before laying down spread-eagled on the ground with a deep sigh.
Do Han-Sol hobbled over as he regenerated his missing right arm.
“Mr. Lee Hyun-Deok, that bastard… It’s dead for sure, right?”
“Yeah, it’s dead. It’s finally over.”
I joined Kim Hyeong-Jun, lying down on the ground.
It was over. Everything was over. This damned, bloody fight, the constant worrying over what the future would hold, all of it was over. I sighed in relief as I looked up at the night sky, which was adorned with stars. Do Han-Sol scratched his head as he looked at the underlings around us.
“Wow… Look at the number of underlings we have left. I can’t think of any other word but ‘devastation.’ I can’t believe it took us this many underlings to take down one black creature…”
I nodded in response and pointed up to the sky.

I squinted to get a better look, and saw Lee Jeong-Uk in the very front. He was running as hard as he could, a bayonet affixed to his K2 rifle, his face full of determination.
“AHHHHHH!!!”
Lee Jeong-Uk let out a yell, and the guards behind him joined in as well. I waved both of my arms vigorously at them.
“Stop, stop!! Stop everyone!” I cried.
The people from the Survivor Rally Organization heard my voice and came to an uncertain halt, all looking bewildered. Lee Jeong-Uk looked at me with surprise in his eyes, clearly unsure of what was going on.
