The golden waves that surrounded this world disappeared like a wave.

What unfolded behind it was a blue sky.

The ominous purple light that had been covering the sky disappeared everywhere, leaving a peaceful scene as if nothing had happened.

People regained their reason.

The downpour, which was terrified and destroying everything in sight, stopped.

The last limit was broken, and the black power that had encouraged them was completely extinguished just before it became irreversible.

There was no more coercion.

There was also no sense as if something huge was looking directly at me.

All that remains is a world that is no different from usual.

Around that time in the sky.

A shooting star was falling.

“Airship! It’s coming down!”

Old Union Headquarters.

The headquarters is on alert.

The airship, specially modified to go out of the atmosphere, was now losing power and falling.

As the huge ship enters the atmosphere, it glows with great heat, resembling a shooting star.

It looked like a meteorite.

The parts attached to the outside melted in the heat and fell off.

At the time when even the hull frame was falling apart.

“Now!”

With the signal from the White Magic Tower, the magic circles installed on the spire of each magic tower began to emit magical power.

What is manifested here is 5th level magic, telekinesis.

The magic that used the five magic towers as the core slowly slowed down the airship, which was descending at an incredible speed.

Just before touching the ground, the airship’s speed dropped to almost zero and it landed lightly.

thud!

As soon as the hot hull touched the ground, the grass burst into flames.

With a single gesture from the wizards, the fire was instantly extinguished.

When the smoke cleared, what was revealed was an airship with all its paint and external armament removed, leaving only the hull.

It was the first airship to go into space, destroy the dimensional body, and return.

“Anyway…”

“Yes. You won’t be safe.”

The archmages shook their heads.

It is an airship that emits heat so hot that it is difficult to get close to it.

It was obvious what would happen to the people inside.

The frost lord, the witch, and even the unknown who was newly given the title of archmage.

We lost several superhumans.

In the face of the threat of destruction in this world, they burned a body without hesitation.

It was the moment when the wizards were thinking like that and expressing their condolences.

“······?!”

thud! thud! thud!

A strong sound coming from inside.

Doesn’t this sound like a distress signal?

The wizards all became busy.

Starting with how to approach that hot hull, we need to cool it down first, so we need to bring in a cold magician. There was a lot of commotion.

The hull suddenly collapsed.

Then the hull wall was torn apart with a loud bang.

As a result, the entire place was suddenly covered with cold air.

The grass froze, and the air became cool.

“Phew. I really want you to take it out. It makes me come out on my own.”

As a result, the completely frozen interior of the airship was revealed.

The Frost Lord and his companions calmly walked out from inside.

They look fine without a single wound.

The wizards all bowed their heads.

Even the archmages did not know the details of what happened above.

Because they were at the top of magic, I was able to know what they didn’t know.

The being that ordinary people thought was simply something huge was something beyond imagination.

Just looking at it makes your reason disappear.

A forbidden existence that can only be returned to sanity by blowing away all memories of seeing it.

People who come back to their senses after being protected from the golden light will only think that some dangerous disaster has struck and then receded.

However, the great wizards were able to get a glimpse of what kind of achievements they had accomplished when they returned.

It was not about preventing the destruction of the world.

The collapse of the dimension was prevented.

After surpassing the limits of magic, engineering, and mortality, he defeated a being that could be called a god of one dimension.

“Deserved respect to our heroes.”

The wizards and soldiers surrounding the burned, blackened lawn all knelt down on one knee with sincere respect.

Nothing will be known to the world.

Because there is nothing to understand.

Therefore, it was the duty of those who reached that small part to remember this day and honor their achievements.

“Now, wait…! everyone! Ugh?!”

The body of Julia, the witch who was rushing out, froze.

Warm sunlight and the gazes of countless people.

In response to the barrage of things she had been avoiding for so long, her voice seemed to be blocked for a moment, and she felt pain as if insects were crawling on her body, and she cringed.

Julia gritted her teeth and moved forward.

“Please… Eugene, please… Please save my Eugene…”

Julia sobbed as she pushed the man on the stretcher forward.

On the outside, it seemed like there was nothing wrong.

However, the medical staff became busy as he was unconscious, sweating coldly and unable to come to his senses.

“Haaa! oh my god! I don’t want to leave again!”

“Oh, this isn’t a big deal. It’s the main policy, really.”

“How can the Frost Lord be so heartless… Ugh…”

“No. It’s really too much of a fuss.”

Yulia clings to Eugene and cries, and Yerina is embarrassed and doesn’t know why he’s like this.

Just when Yerina was already tired and sighing, someone arrived to make more noise.

“Kyaaa! What is this now…? Eugene again…?”

“No. no. Holy woman. Shall we calm down for a moment and listen to my story first? First of all, since there are a lot of eyes watching, here-”

“Ah, no! don’t go! Don’t go, Eugene! They said they were coming back! You promised that you would come back for real this time!”

“I don’t know anymore…”

Yerina was tired of the two women crying and clinging to the stretcher, so she turned her back on them.

It was the height of fatigue.

***

Eugene’s condition was more serious than expected.

Contrary to the original diagnosis, which thought he had simply fallen asleep from exhaustion, he rarely woke up.

As the time of being unconscious exceeded 12 hours, Julia and Jill became impatient, as if they were literally running out of breath.

Eugene continued to moan and tremble, as if he was having some kind of painful dream.

Occasionally, the sound of bones cracking and crackling could be heard from inside the body.

It’s normal to have cold sweat constantly.

Accordingly, Jill and Julia even withheld the nurses’ help and cleaned Eugene’s body almost once an hour.

Jill didn’t get tired and poured her magic on Eugene.

A recovery spell was cast and divine power was injected.

Nevertheless, the symptoms did not improve.

‘Is it a disease that a saint cannot cure?’

‘Could this be…is it fate, the laws of the world, trying to get rid of Eugene…?’

The quality was ruined in real time.

Now the trauma I had barely forgotten was coming back.

There was a moment when Yerina was thinking about whether she should quarantine Jill separately, as she was really going crazy.

“uh······. I think I’m starting to understand the name of the disease.”

“What is it, doctor?! Don’t just say it’s a fatal disease! please! Because please…”

“This is a metamorphosis.”

“Metamorphosis?”

“Yes.”

“······?”

Jill’s expression was blank at the completely unexpected diagnosis.

Metamorphosis? Why does that story suddenly come up?

“Metamorphosis means…”

“Yes. This is the metamorphosis that you all know. If you have outstanding talent or awakened ability, but your body cannot handle that force, your body rapidly changes into a body that can handle that force and you suffer severe pain.”

“Isn’t that what most superhumans go through during their growing years?”

There was no way I didn’t know.

Jill, Yulia, and Yerina all experienced this.

Those who were born as mortals and were born with talents that did not match their abilities either died at a young age because they could not handle that power, or went through a metamorphosis and were reborn as vessels for superhumans.

“Yes. That’s right. Looking at the current situation, the transformation is in the final stage. The skeleton has become much stronger, the skin has become firmer, and the flow of magical energy in the body, which had previously been difficult, seems to have become more stable. The metamorphosis has been completed successfully, and I hope you will wake up soon.”

“What, what…? Then, Eugene has been… Are you saying it was the body of an ordinary person who had not even undergone a transformation…?”

It was so absurd that I couldn’t even laugh.

Have you finally become a superhuman?

Doesn’t it sound like Eugene has been fighting against powerful enemies with a weak body and poor magic efficiency?

Jill’s thinking circuit broke down due to the unexpected information.

And the same goes for Yulia and Yerina.

‘Of course’ Eugene thought they were the same type.

Isn’t he a person who has learned the five senses that an ordinary person’s body cannot endure and has seen a state beyond that?

So does that mean that Eugene felt the pain of his bones being twisted and his muscles being torn every time he fired the five swords?

Are you saying that every time you cast a spell of level 5 or higher, you endure the sensation of magical power like life force being drained from your entire body and the pain of your blood vessels drying out?

Are you saying that every time you deal with demonic energy, you endure the demonic energy eroding and rotting deep into your bones?

What was natural to them was not natural to Eugene.

At that simple fact, Jill, Julia, and Yerina were momentarily shocked and unable to speak.
