Chapter 7 - CHAPTER 7:THE UNKNOWN POWER ⚡

After defeating the monster, the heroes of THE LAST GUARDIANS 🛡️ began their journey back to the bunker.

They had won their first battle…

But no one was celebrating.

Because one question was running through everyone's mind—

What exactly entered Kai's body? ⚠️

And more importantly…

Why did nothing happen to him?

The silence was heavy.

Then suddenly, Leo spoke.

"Maybe… the monster released its remaining energy as a final attack." 🔫

"Maybe it was trying to destroy Kai… but it failed."

Marcus calmly supported Leo's explanation.

"Yes… that is possible." 🧠

"I've studied cases where powerful beings release unstable energy after death."

"It usually doesn't cause harm… if the body can withstand it."

Some of the team members nodded.

They tried to believe it.

But deep inside…

Doubt still remained. 👀

🏠 Return to the Bunker

The massive bunker gates slowly opened. 🚪

As the team entered…

They were welcomed like heroes.

People clapped, cheered, and looked at them with hope. ✨

After all—

They had defeated a monster.

The first victory of humanity.

The team was finally given time to rest.

Everyone went to recover from the intense battle. 🛌

🌙 Kai's Dream

Kai was resting in his room.

But his mind was not at peace.

As he slept…

He began to see strange visions. 🌑

In his dream—

He saw powerful figures surrounding a man.

They were attacking him mercilessly. ⚔️

That man was trying to protect someone…

A child.

The battle was intense.

The man fought with everything he had.

Just to save his child.

Suddenly—

Kai felt the pain.

As if he was the one experiencing it. ⚡

He started struggling in his sleep.

And then—

He woke up with a loud shout.

"AAHH!" 😨

Leo's voice came from nearby.

"Kai! What happened? Are you okay?"

Kai sat up, breathing heavily.

His voice was slightly shaken.

"…Yeah. I'm fine." 😶

But his eyes told a different story.

Soon after, Leo informed him:

"Come on… the team has been called for the next mission planning."

Kai nodded.

A few minutes later, everyone gathered in the meeting area.

Present there were:

The General 🎖️

The Major 🪖

And THE LAST GUARDIANS 🛡️

The President appeared on the main screen.

"Congratulations." 🎉

"We have successfully defeated one monster."

Before anyone could celebrate—

Leo stepped forward.

"Yes… but the war is far from over."

Orion added,

"Our weapons are not strong enough." 👊

"They barely made any real impact."

"Even our armored vehicle felt weak against that monster."

The room fell silent again.

Marcus then spoke seriously.

"He's right." ⚙️

"I underestimated the enemy."

"But before the next battle… I will upgrade all our weapons."

The General stepped forward.

"I have a friend… a scientist who specializes in experimental technology."

"If needed, we can take his help."

Marcus looked interested.

"I would like to meet him." 🧪

Suddenly—

An alert signal echoed through the control room. 🚨

All screens turned on instantly.

Cameras focused on the portal.

Everyone stared in shock.

Something strange was happening.

From inside the portal…

A dark, blood-like substance began flowing out. 🌑🩸

A disturbing sound echoed from within. 👹

The atmosphere turned cold.

A soldier shouted:

"Everyone, stay alert! Another event is about to occur!"

The room went silent.

Marcus slowly looked at the screen.

His expression changed.

And then he said in a low voice—

"Something is different this time…" ⚠️

"Something… far worse is coming."

Kai stared at the portal.

His grip tightened.

And deep inside…

He felt something strange awakening.

"This time…"

"It won't be the same." ⚡🌌
