Kapitel 1000: The Culmination of Effort

"Maintain your positions!"

Screaming at the top of his lungs, a ferocious expression appeared on Leon's face as he looked at the members making up his quadrant.

Seeing how they were able to handle themselves against the monsters of the seventh wave, the man faintly let out a sigh of relief, only to return his gaze to the remaining monsters before them.

Whoosh!

Knowing that his members wouldn't be able to last as long as him, Leon charged forward with all his might, slashing down with his blade towards the first monster he saw.

"[Bestial Cleaver]!"

With the help of a skill, the man was able to push the monster he was facing backwards while also dealing splash damage towards the other monsters in his surroundings.

Unsurprisingly, with how much damage he'd dealt with the skill, Leon had attracted all of the monsters' aggro, causing some of them to shift their attention away from the other members.

And so, here we are. Chapter 1,000.

It feels weird to think that a story could last this long, especially when I think about how the longest novel I've written in the past only spanned a bit over 400 chapters.

Yet, even after 1,000 chapters, Valyr's story still hasn't reached its end. In a way, you could say that it hasn't even reached the middle point.

This chapter's title not only reflects the journey Valyr has gone through thus far, but it also reflects the journey I've gone through while writing these 1,000 chapters.

Of course, I wouldn't have gotten this far without your support. With that, I thank you once more from the bottom of my heart.

Though it feels weird to say this a thousand chapters in...

Valyr's story is just beginning.

P.S. The surprise I'm preparing is probably different from the surprise you're thinking of. You'll just have to wait and see.
