The battle lasted only around ten minutes and all the wolves which came were killed cleanly. It was a fortunate thing that Julia's house located at the corner of the town so they only had to face attacks from two directions. After running around for nearly ten minutes, Ronald, Luke and Dale were exhausted. Especially, Luke with a beer belly, he felt that his legs got no strength to move anymore.
But the two giants were still attacking at the house. The worst was yet to come. Black mists started to appear on the corpses of wolves. And they were moving towards the shield of the house. As soon as the black mists touched the softly glowing shield, they disappeared instantly. At that time, the small short sword which was inserted on the floor shined slightly. The red gem inside the handle was half emptied after the shield resisted the erosion of black mists.
No one knew this. However, Brian felt that things were not going great. Because he saw the danger of gray mists. The old man guessed that the artifact might have paid a great price to resist the wave of black mists.
This battle directly cleared all the wolves in the North-East Elvis district.
At that time, the front door was suddenly opened. And an old man stepped out while holding a RPG-17.
There was no monsters except the two giant monsters at that time. He rushed to the trashcan on the opposite sidewalk. That ordinary looking trashcan was filled with C4. Brian used entire box of C4 on that yesterday.
Everyone immediately noticed him. Brian shouted from the windows, "Pete! You fucking idiot!"
Old man called Pete smiled and shouted back, "Yea, I am a fucking idiot! Brian, there is no other choice!"
He took off the necklace as soon as he got near the trap. Old Pete hurriedly shouldered the RPG-17 and aimed at the giant monster which was attacking the shield.
The two giant monsters sensed his presence when old Pete took off the necklace. But he didn't choose to change his target. Old Pete shouted as he pulled the trigger, "Brian! You guys must live!"
Omti was hit by the rocket head on the crotch and the explosion almost greatly damaged his reproductive organ. He was instantly angered. Omti roared and rushed towards old Pete. After pulling the trigger, old Pete simply dropped the launcher and opened his arms. He raised his head to look at the sky and it was as if he wanted to embrace the sky. Unfortunately, all he saw was just a dark sky full of dark clouds.
In just a few seconds, Omti got to the sidewalk. He bent down his giant body and smashed the old Pete with his big fist. At that time, Omti just wanted to smash that tiny human who did a disgraceful attack on him. Before his fist came down, the trashcan in front of him exploded. The explosion instantly erased the figure of old Pete and the upper body of Omti the greed Devil. Blood and pieces of flesh flew around.
It was Brian who triggered the detonator at the last second. The old gangsters were full of sorrow as they witnessed the death of their old friend. But they still understood how important the sacrifice was.
Old James wanted to pick the rocket launcher and wanted to walk the same path as old Pete. Julia, Aisha and the other people watched him but they didn't stop him.

At that time, they heard the shout of Ronald, "We got him! Everyone, we got that giant."
Julia shouted immediately, "James, what you wanna do? Didn't you hear that? Close the door."
When Omti was killed, Omba stopped attacking and looked at the half body of his brother Omti in surprise and disbelief. It was that exact moment which actually gave the opportunity to his enemies. Ronald was able to take it. He got out half of his body over the windows and shoot at the throat of the giant.
The AMR bullet broke through the soft meat of neck and made an opening through the head. Allen hurriedly pulled back Ronald into the house. The two fell on the floor and laughed proudly for their achievement.
The giant Greed Devil Omba wanted to say something but he couldn't anymore since his brain was already missing a large part and most of his throat was destroyed. He fell down softly as he lost control of his body.
The Devil was very angry when he felt the death of another two Greed Devil. He hesitated. After all, he can't let his strong subordinates die one by one. So, he didn't send another wave although he wanted to eliminate the trouble. The blood pool fell into calm after a few ripples.
The sound of explosion was heard by everyone in the town. They were surprised and glad to know that there were another group of survivors beside them. Chester had another idea. He realized that he was neglecting something. Only at that time, he remembered about the existence of another group of officers who went into the town before them.
Chester asked his man, "Keez, bring me the radio. I need to confirm something."
After solving the biggest trouble, everyone was relaxed. However, they couldn't feel happiness from the victory because they lost old Pete. Although they were not that familiar, they still respected him and his honor in sacrificing himself for them. They didn't know his story, his life and even his personalities. But he got their respect. After knowing his sacrifice, Ronald fell into silence. Brian and old gangsters were worse since they were friends with old Pete for a long time after all. They couldn't do chattering like before anymore.
Brian looked at the group photo and muttered, "I know you did a great job but you didn't have to do that. We could have found a better way. If you just waited a little longer."
Julia said, "What a mess! Isn't it just he chose to quit earlier than us? We are also going to die sooner or later anyways. Smile a little more to appreciate his efforts."
Julia changed a lot after experiencing the death of her beloved people or especially the death of her daughter. She became more thoughtful although she would still love to criticize a lot than before.
Tina was watching at her boyfriend worryingly because Peter was in a daze after seeing the death of old Pete. It was as if something was struggling to awaken inside him. At that time, the body radio sounded suddenly.
"This is Eagle-1. We are in the Tosta nest. If you hear this, send your status to us. Over."
"This is Eagle-1. We are in the Tosta nest. If you hear this, send your status to us. Over."
Peter was awoken instantly and he felt that his mind became very clearly. He recalled the memories and muttered, "What the hell am I doing?"
But he didn't think too much. Peter hold the radio and said, "Eagle-1. This is Ermine. We are in the Rose nest. We cleared the threats. We have 10 Ermines, 6 officers and 2 armed men, several elderly people and children. Solid copy, standby. Over."
"Ermine, this is 10 David Eagle-1. We heard the explosion. Was that your work? Over."
"Eagle-1. We did it. Over."
"We want to know your enemies. Over."
"Eagle-1. The enemies were hundreds of wolves and two giant monsters. Over."
"Ermine. Report the battle situation. Over."
"Eagle-1. We took down them. One hero sacrificed. Over."
After saying the last sentence, the conversation fell into silence for several seconds. Tina was amazed by that. She felt that there was something different in Peter. Ronald and other officers gathered around the two to listen the conversation. Even Kevin and Rock were interested.
"Ermine, we are sorry to hear that. Are you confident to defend your place? Over."
"Eagle-1, this is Ermine. We are confident to defend this place. Over."
"Ermine. We are resisting the siege of monsters in 488 Tosta Street. Can you send backups? Over."
"We will try to send a squad. Over."
"Approach in caution. Over."
"Roger that."
