Meanwhile in the military stablish safe zone countless soldiers, military trucks, officer and even priest? assembled at the college gate.
At it stood an old man in a military uniform looking at the distance where a fight between monsters had erupted.

A man with a serious face salute at the old man.
"Good!"
"What about the exorcist at our ranks?"
The old man asked seemingly deep in thought ask.
"We've already arrived"
A group of old priest arrived a total of 10 people.

"Charge!..."
The company of soldiers drove towards the site where Vale and a monster fought.

Meanwhile in Lyka's group they already disperse running in all directions after the fight started.
What can they do other than run for their life?
Wasn't it they do all the time if anything dangers their life?
They are not strong, they don't know how to fight, and they have weak wills after seeing a monster, ugly and strong enough to mutilate them all in one swipe they where scared shitless, wanting to cry and calling their moms.
Only Lyka was left hiding in one of the building near her.
She was scared but she also knows that this place is the most safest place in the entire city with a person capable of fighting countless madman and even fight head to toe with a terrifying monster as well as the military just kilometer away.
What other place in the city can offer you this kind of safety?
None!
So she stays praying to god Vale wins and the military will come and save them.
"Please..."
She started crying.
It was normal, when a normal person experience this kind of terrifying experience where they can die at anytime.
Every second pass feels like hours for her and after hiding in a corner for unknown amount of time she heard a sound of countless people marching she jerk up and walk towards the nearest window.
She was excited and also scared.
What if it was a madman out there what if the monster is out there?
She look outside and see a lot of military personnel getting out of trucks and aiming their guns to the direction where Vale and the monster last seen fighting.
She felt as if she has found heaven after countless years in hell.
She was happy and excited that she rush out of the building running towards them.
Hearing a sound of footsteps going near them the soldiers become even more alert.
Aiming their guns towards the source of noise they saw a dishiveled woman a big backpack coming near them.
"Stop!"
Shouted by one of the soldiers.
The dishiveled woman stop on her tracks and shivered she don't know what's happening she only want to be in a safe place.
"... W-why?"
She ask them as tears flow again in her eyes, she saw hope then despair in a single day now she was tired of all of it.
"She's normal"
An officer said.
"Roger!"
The soldiers goes back to their position only one soldier approach the disheveled woman.
"Are you alright?"
The soldiers give his best caring approach not scaring her more.
"I... I'm fine"
She stutter she don't know how to express her emotion.
"Now your safe with us"
"Are you injured somewhere?"
He ask her some questions as they walk.

"Commander! What should we do with uhm... Him?"
An officer ask the old commander near him as they look at the two creatures laying down on top of each other.
One human and one is a monster that has its head flatten.
"Is that guy still alive?"
The old commander ask.
"Uhm... Yes?"
"Did you check if he was possessed by the evil spirits?"
The general expression become cold when he said the word evil spirits.

"We already check but he's not reacting to either priest purification or holy water we applied to him... But"
The officer don't know how to explain.
"But what?"
The commander frown.
"But it seems his body eagerly absorb it"
"..."
"So what's the conclusion?"
"We currently don't know commander "
The officer showed an embarrassed expression.

"Even then... Is he still a human?"
The commander look serious.
"I-it seems... So?"
The officer don't know how to respond.
"Then send him to the medical facility in the safe zone immediately"
Finally the commander come to a conclusion in his mind.
"B-but general..."
"I know... But his value is just to much much"
"His too important to us, the people, the country, even in the entire world"
The old commander sigh deeply as his mind contemplate about possibilities.
"But what if..."
"Enough!"
"Let it discuss it again in the future"
"..."
"Yes commander..."
The officer salute the old commander as he walk to the soldiers and order them something.
Soon a group of medical personnel appeared and carefully transferred Vale's body in a stretcher.
The soldiers carried the heavy monster body in one of the trucks for experiment.
Time fly fast and it was already the next day.

surrounded by countless medical equipment and medical as well as researchers scanning his body like a pervert.
"This guy is a monster! How can you heal so fast that you can see the entire process"
One of the medical staff whisper on one of the researcher.
"Shh... What if he heard you and keep grudge on what you said"
The researcher answer scared the medical staff.
"No-no I don't mean it like that it was just he's so... Terrifying "
The medical staff defend himself.
"..."
Vale keep hearing this kind of remars from the people around him continuously.
He was long awake he just didn't get up after he regain his senses.
He was shy and he didn't want to ruin the mood so he just lay there like a dead man.
In a corner of the room a beautiful woman was looking intently al Vale for a long time.
After a while she seems to list patience and said.
"Everyone! Will you leave me alone for a moment?"
"..."
The people around was stunned for a moment before replying.
"... Yes! Dr. Seraphina"
The people around bow their heads slightly before they come out of the room.
