The evacuation continued as time trickled by

Sarah and Sia witnessed selfless deeds, tragic moments, and heroisht their entire lives rushed into streets filled with abyssal predators to find their sons and daughters

They could've chosen to just get into the foret to safety But they wanted to save their loved ones with theether<readnovelfullco their families back, only a fraction returned

Even in the most adverse of tireatest symbol of huht ho hu h an alley and rushi+ng towards achuckle sounded from behind and an abyssal soldier jumped into the alley

The faces of the son and the father paled And suddenly, the father felt a force in his back and the next thing he knew, he crashed before the abyssal's feet

"You!" The father stared at the receding back of his son with pained eyes The man never shed a tear in the past thirty years but today, he couldn't stop the hot tears fro down his cheeks

"…Why?" He asked as he stared at the silhouette of his son in the far distance

"Why?" Even as the abyssal's spear pierced into his stomach and twisted his insides, he continued to stare ahead blankly

The abyssal took joy in hishiot past the lightning wall and got back to safety But after the elation of survival, he clutched his head and broke into tears He'd never be able to forgive himself

If this was the apex of selfishness, then there was also the opposite

A young grandson, only aged sixteen was carrying his grandfather on his back, as he ran through the streets

The young boy had several cuts on his school unifor fro another person on his back, his abdo out with every step he took It was painful for the young boy and tears were rolling down his cheeks with every step he took

But even then, he continued to run carrying this old randfather but a janitor from his school But the old man had been kind to him When he was bullied and cried alone in his room after school hours, this old man who he never knew approached and consoled hi, he would've quit school and never had the life he did today

"C-Child, p…please" The old randfather's weak voice sounded fro you, kid"

The young boy gritted his teeth and refused to even entertain such a thought "Grandpa! I'll save you! Please believeboy attracted so in the sa boy was fit, he was significantly slowed down because of carrying another person

As they ran past hiive up the old man and run alone

"At least you can survive"

"You both will die like this!"

"Kid, I saw an abyssal heading this way! Hurry!"

The boy didn't give up He ran and ran squeezing every bit of energy he had When it was the last alley before the compound, a red silhoutte flashed in front of him and an abyssal soldier, drenched in human blood, appeared

The boy's face paled and tears pooled in the corner of his eyes The old man saw the situation and sobbed "It's all my fault My fault! I should've just died!"

The abyssal relished in theirand old died side by side, just a few hundred meters away from the compound If the boy did run alone, he would've reached safety

Choosing to help despite the crisis was selfless

But this wasn't a ood isn't always rewarded and evil isn't always punished
