Three clans

About 3 weeks passed within the dark tunnel.

The sound of a body being blown away resounded as a black figure was pushed up from within a pipe and into the air, only to come crashing down.

From where the body had emerged, a hand crawled out slowly—covered in a reddish liquid—and a face soon appeared.

"Fucking hell!!" Lying flat on the ground, a young man cursed. But this curse wasn't born from frustration or anger; instead, it was born from relief and sudden relaxation.

He was tired—more so than after fighting that damn mythic tree. Who would have thought that the so-called tunnel to salvation would be fraught with so many monsters?

"Light, finally," another body reached his side from the hole in the ground and fell, allowing itself to meld with the soil.

This scene repeated itself over and over as more individuals emerged from the hole and collapsed in exhaustion.

This was Guilliman and the two cohorts.
