Chapter 474: In the Face of War’s Cruelty
What is the horror of war?
What makes war so terrifying to so many?
They say death is never closer to a human being than the moment their feet step onto the battlefield.
At any given second, you wouldn’t even realize when your head had left your shoulders.
There are many perspectives one can take when trying to describe the horrors of war. But the truth lies within the reflections seen in the eyes of the soldiers themselves.
The ordinary soldiers .. those who lacked great power, who were not special in any significant way.
These unfortunate fighters become the perfect lens through which the true tragedies of war can be studied.

After their ship had been destroyed by the enemy, a girl crawled out from beneath the wreckage, trying to survive before the ruins of her doomed vessel swallowed her whole.
Her sky-blue hair was disheveled, and her pale skin stained red with blood.
She was in unbearable pain .. crushed by the debris that had fallen mercilessly upon her, threatening to bury her alive.
She was a Wave Controller. That meant her body lacked any significant physical strength to survive such a collapse unscathed.
