Chapter 132: Chapter 132- Her Feelings

That declaration made everyone look at Talon. It didn't take them a moment to understand that he meant every word he said at that moment. While the scientists didn't know how strong he was, Hyun-Jae and Chin-Hwa knew that he wasn't simply bluffing.

With how ridiculously strong he became, Talon could be considered a huge threat to the government and he was only going to get stronger as time moved. By the time they reach the new human society in Gwangju, Talon would've probably become even stronger.

'There is a very high possibility that things will spiral out of control.' Hyun-Jae sighed. 'Well, if that happens, we will have to deal with it.'

There was really no point in worrying since it didn't happen yet. For now, they had to think about a more important thing which was... How to reach Gwangju in the first place.

With hundreds of survivors with them, traveling through a desolate world was nothing short of suicide. The trip could potentially take days' worth of time, during which, all kinds of things could happen. From starvation to monster attacks and everything in between that could wipe out the entire army.

Just trying to think of the true scale of such an operation, Hyun-Jae felt a slight headache. Her body and mind were already too exhausted to think of such a problem. All she wanted at that moment was some warm food, a change of clothes, and a good night's sleep. Whatever happens after that is unimportant.

"Ugh, I think we should leave now before the entire place collapses. We're done here." Talon said as he walked toward the door.

With that, the group quickly left the building and went on their way back to where the rest of the survivors were.

"Do you need help, president?"

As they walked, Chin-Hwa approached her and asked with a worried tone.

"No. I can walk." She shook her head.

"Oh, ok."

The interaction was as awkward as it could get and Talon could see it from behind fully well.

"Do you think they will ever go back to being friends?" He asked without looking at the floating beauty next to him.

"Hmm, it depends," Acrypha responded.

"Depends on what?"

"It depends on you."

Her response made him turn around with confusion all over his face. "How so?"

"You already noticed it, didn't you?" Acrypha asked back with a mysterious look on her face. "That girl is starting to like you and I don't mean as a friend."

Her words were neutral, but Talon could hear a subtle odd tone in them. He couldn't understand what it was so he just shook his head. His expression turned serious for a moment.

"Yeah, I noticed that." He replied quietly.

"She doesn't seem to be aware of it though. But, she's growing very fond of you and it will probably continue growing with time."

"Sigh, how did this even happen?" Running his hand through his hair, Talon tried to remember if there was anything he'd done that could've made her see him this way.

'Just stay the way you are right now. Even if you become the greatest existence in all dimensions. I want you to remain the same. The same person I want to take all for myself.' She licked her lips secretly as she floated after him.

***

With that, the group safely reached the location of the survivors. Naturally, seeing them, the students were beyond ecstatic.

They had been left alone the entire time, and their fear was taking over their hearts. The moment Talon appeared again, they felt their hope rise again.

So, using that opportunity, Talon stood in the middle of the group, surrounded by everyone else.

"The battle is over, folks!" He declared loudly, taking everyone by surprise.

"Over...?"

"Did I hear that correctly?"

"He said... Is it over?"

Confused murmurs echoed amongst the students as they looked at each other.

"The horde is no longer... It's over. We won!"

Then, it was complete silence. Nobody reacted to those words immediately. But, it didn't long for them to react.

"WOOOOOOOOOAAAAAH!!!"

"It's really over?!"

"I can't believe it!!!"

"*Sob* I'm glad!! I'm truly glad!!"

Yells of excitement, happiness, and tears of relief spread across the entire army. It was a great moment for them, as bitter as everything before it was.

Talon watched that scene with a calm expression. It was certainly a nice moment for him. But, there was still a lot to do before they could actually celebrate victory. Monsters were going to only get stronger and their enemies wouldn't remain the same mindless bunch they had been fighting. Humans will eventually join the fray.

They had to also leave this place unscathed and go back to the warehouse somehow.

'But... For now...'

"Let's celebrate this battle!!" He yelled loudly.

"WOOOOOOH!!"
