Chapter 25 - "Tears of the Iron Soldier"

Chucky pulled Boxery out of his alien body, spat on his face, and said, "You can't win against me!Even if I'm old, I'll still defeat you again with my sword!"Boxery laughed weakly and said, "Yeah, yeah… you're the real devil, I know that.

But I have to tell you this—if you kill me today, your entire family will vanish with me."Chucky punched him hard in the face and shouted, "What do you mean by that? What have you done to my family? Speak!"Boxery continued laughing.

"Oh, you're looking at me like I'm helpless, Chucky. Let's see what you do now.

"Chucky said furiously, "Tell me what you've done. What are your plans? If you've harmed my family, I'll give you a slow and painful death.

I'll make your name a warning for every future generation

." His entire body was burning with rage.Boxery sneered, "I've already sent my Tendenco tribe aliens to attack your cave.

They must have reached there by now, I'm sure."Chucky's eyes widened. "What have you done, you bastard!"

He struck Boxery again and again until the skin on his mouth tore apart.

Blood spilled down.Then Chucky thought to himself, First I'll tie him with rope so he can't escape.

Then I'll save my family and come back to cut off his head. I'll crush it under my shoes so he'll never be remembered again.

Boxery grinned weakly and said, "Oh, so you plan to save your family first—and then cut off my head and put it under your shoes? Not today, Chucky… maybe next time."Suddenly, an alien pack appeared from the forest.

They grabbed Boxery's body and escaped with him. His wounds were already healing.

Chucky shouted, "Your time will come! You may have escaped today, but you're lucky only for now. Wherever you hide—underground or in the skies—I will find you!" he said to himself.

He immediately rode off on his horse at full speed, heading toward the cave to find his family.When he reached the cave after a few minutes, the sight froze him.

Euka and Orbgodo were dead—half-eaten by aliens—lying in front of him.For a few moments, Chucky's body went still, his mind completely blank.

Then his fury exploded. He activated his alien killer powers and stormed into the cave. He fought like a beast—killing the alien from the inside after being swallowed. Within seconds, he tore it apart, slicing its body into pieces and cutting off its head.Chucky stood, covered in blood, and said, "Again… again, I failed to save anyone! I've lost my love, my children…"

He had never cried in a battlefield before—but this time, he fell to his knees, crying. "I'm the worst soldier…the worst father…and the worst husband," he said in pain.After a moment, he looked up. "Where are Leio and Oribgod?"

He ran to search for them—and finally found them at the edge of the cave.Oribgod was shocked to see his father. "Father, you killed the alien from inside its mouth? You cut it apart from within?" he said in disbelief.

Chucky looked at both his sons. "Are you both okay, my sons?"Leio and Oribgod answered, "Yes, Father, we're fine."Oribgod asked, "Where is Mother Euka? Tell her to bring food for Leio."

Chucky hugged both of his sons tightly and said, "We are the last ones left in this family. Everyone else is gone."Oribgod shouted, "No! That's not possible! Say you're joking, Father! Tell me you're lying!" He started crying.Leio said gently to his brother, "Our father never jokes about death, not about our family…

"Oribgod said, "Leio, you can bring them back! You can recreate them in your lab. You just need their DNA!"Leio said sadly, "I can't recreate real people who have died. I can't bring anyone back to life."

Oribgod said, "What are you saying? Then how did you create humans before from DNA collected on the battlefield?"Leio said, "Those humans were created using alien powers.

They were made from alien DNA—from those who used alien transformations. That's why I could create them."Chucky interrupted, "Enough. We must bury Euka and Orbgodo's half-destroyed bodies in the soil."Leio, who was now fully healed by alien energy, nodded.

They carried the bodies out carefully. When they looked at Euka's body, Leio broke down and said, "I wish I had never learned how to create humans again in this world. Zaid was right—the war will never end.

As long as even one person remains alive, the war continues."Chucky buried Euka's body gently and covered it with soil.

On her grave, he wrote with trembling hands:"Euka — the strongest queen of my life."He did the same for Orbgodo, laying him beside his mother.Chucky stood silently for a while, then turned to Leio and said, "Now tell me, where is Zaid? I have to find him before he wakes up—or before Boxery reaches him and eats him to take the monstrous powers."
