The destruction left by the Dread Reaper Phantom was a grim reminder of the dangers that lurked in this world. Akira, Kael, Maya, Rylan, and Blacky stood amidst the ruins, their spirits weighed down by the devastation. The city had fallen into a silence that was almost unbearable, the air thick with the scent of death and fear.
"We need to rest," Kael said, his voice heavy with exhaustion. "We can't fight like this."
Akira nodded, his eyes dull. "We'll find a place to recuperate. Then we'll figure out our next move."
For the next two days, the group stayed in the remnants of the city, finding refuge in one of the few buildings still standing. They took turns keeping watch, though the once-vibrant energy of the team was now overshadowed by fatigue and a sense of helplessness.
