Chapter 437 - Destruction Of Shadow Guardians [2]

"We helped you!"

"We killed Shadow Orders'! Das were met with attacks

Protests and requests fell on deaf ears Age didn't matter Merits weren't cared for

In a few minutes, the army machine butchered every low and mid awakened The kill count was in thousands

As the corpses or as left of them laid across the secret realm, the realm itself reeked of blood and flesh But more than those, it reeked of desolation and despair

The high awakeners that were holding out so that their pupils, juniors, children, and grandchildren could escape had tears in their eyes

These ht into the abyss round and wailed like children

"…W-Why?" The old worandkid, to be precise, what reed to show his fear before death

"Why…" She felt a lump in her throat and her vision turned blurry It was like someone knocked the breath out of her chest

She prayed to the heavens for it to be her nighth touch of his burnt skin, the pungent smell of burnt flesh told her that none of it was fake

She looked at the randson's head "T-This kid lost his parents to Shadow Order So, I joined the Guardians to avenge him"

With each word, tears rolled down her cheeks and dripped on her grandson's burnt face, as if trying to soothe his burn

"I only attacked Order ThisThis little felloanted to join the army and serve his race So why?" Her eyes turned red as she curled up and wailed

"Why do you have to kill hi here He has no one but ritted his teeth and turned his gaze away He was rehter

Personally, he believed that Shadow Guardians were loyal to the human race and were allies of the arrandson would be studying with his granddaughter, pursuing his drea his people

Yet, he erased that future with his own hands Killed an innocent in the name of justice

'I'm sorry' The officer clenched his fists but didn't say it out loud

If he was in charge of this, he would've tried to persuade the higher-ups But the one leading this mission…no one in the federation could persuade hih bleakly "But isn't it a bit too fast?"

She raised her head and looked at the officer "Send hed deeply and condensed a fire lotus

It took the same mana as every other fire lotus he condensed so far, but for so

It wasn't a body or ue, but it's as if…it's as if his soul was suddenly sucked dry

'May you both rest in peace' He prayed and shot her down

The old worandson's head and faced the fire

Without any defense, her clothes and skin started to burn Then her blood and flesh

The searing pain didn't make her scream

No

The officer still heard her wails The physical painthe loss of her only relative

Even when the fire burnt her bones to ashes, he seemed to hear her sobs

He clutched his chest and felt like he just killed his own conscience She was a casualty As the strategists called it, a necessary sacrifice for the greater good

He knew it froht thing to do

Yet, he also knew that this hhh! Die! Die!"
