Gradually, the big beast returned to its human form, and Hector was found lying lifelessly on the ground. Peterson checks the man's pulse, making sure that his nemesis has finally met its end.

"How is it?" Ivy asked her uncle."He's gone. At long last." Peterson said with a sigh. It was a mix of relief and sorrow, for although his nemesis had been defeated, Peterson could not help but feel regretful that it had ended like this.

"Uncle, are you alright?" Ivy asked, seeing her uncle's downcast face.

Peterson looked at his niece, forcing a smile as he tried to reassure her.

"Don't worry, Ivy. I'm okay. Although this is my second time killing him, I still do not feel any joy or satisfaction. Even after all the things he has done to my family and Annabeth." 

Ivy nodded, understanding what her uncle was feeling. She reached out and squeezed his hand in a show of support.
