"We won." David said softly.
But his voice sounded particularly pale in the silence.
Around them, the demon hunters were also silently somber, their eyes filled with complexity and heaviness.

"We undeniably completed our mission, but we lost too much."
A wizard leader slowly said, his gaze heavy as he looked at the half-ruined tower.
"This is the most brutal side of wars between civilizations,"
Another high-tier mage added, "In order to survive and for hope, we had to confront those fallen."
David bowed his head in thought, those Hell Mages whose souls were devoured, no matter who they once were, turned to ashes at this moment.
They could have chosen a different path, yet due to greed or despair, they walked onto the road of no return with darkness.
