Suddenly─

Wade’s sword finally cut down the man.

The man’s body, stained black and probably harder than any metal in the world, was split in two in an instant.

The body is split in two.

It was an injury that no ordinary human being could survive.

Wade didn’t stop holding his sword.

Hiss!

Wade’s sword traced its path again, and the man’s body was instantly broken into pieces and scattered.

Looking at that, Wade thought.

Everything is finally over.

After hearing the voice and being able to draw out his true power, Wade was able to cut down the man’s regenerative power.

Just a moment ago, the man had not been able to completely regenerate the arm that Wade had cut off.

And, the man was just cut to pieces by Wade’s sword.

in other words.

‘finished.’

Wade had a premonition of the end.

It was that moment.

– Isn’t it too early to be at ease?

A voice was heard.

“… … !”

At that voice, Wade hurriedly turned his head.

However, the man’s body was still in pieces.

Nothing happened like last time.

So, where on earth is this voice coming from?

He soon found out the answer.

– Indeed, it is Ferdion.

This voice was coming from the sky.

No, to be exact, it was coming from all directions at the same time.

– I had some expectations, but I didn’t know that it would make my alter ego unusable.

“… … !”

Hearing the voice again, Wade’s eyes widened.

Because there were words in those words that could never be overlooked.

Self-immolation, that’s what the man was saying.

There was no need to ask what it was referring to.

Wade’s gaze returned again.

Towards the man’s torn body.

The alter ego, the object to which that word refers, did not exist other than that.

What I managed to defeat with all my might was nothing more than a self-immolation.

It was something I wanted to deny.

But, I couldn’t deny it.

That’s right, because the man’s voice was heard so confidently.

– No matter how much of the origin is taken, if it moves with its original body, the damage is enormous.

A man’s voice, unknown where it came from, continued.

– So, I tried to handle the work as an alter ego whenever possible, but… Looking at your strength, I don’t think self-immolation will work.

The man, no, the devil.

No, said the ‘King’.

With that voice.

Kuung─

The surroundings began to shake.

It wasn’t just an earthquake.

The ground shook and the air shook.

Everything was shaken.

The world was shaken.

The cause of that shaking.

Wade soon found out.

The sky was moving.

No, more precisely.

What I thought was the sky until now was moving.

***

“Who is he?”

Ethan asked, looking at Veluid.

The identity of the ‘Continued One’ who brought Wade into this world.

“… That is─”

At that question, Veluid was finally about to open his mouth.

Jerk─

I heard footsteps.

at the same time.

“There is no need to ask.”

A voice was heard.

A soft voice.

The voice was not very loud, but surprisingly, it was clear and clear enough for everyone to hear.

So much so that everyone had no choice but to turn their heads in the direction from which the voice was coming from.

Those who turned their heads like that could see it.

She was a woman with a soft appearance, with long black hair down to her waist.

When they saw the woman, some of those in the audience opened their eyes wide.

To be exact, Mary and Rachel, Ira and Estelle.

It was because I knew.

The identity of that woman.

Rachel revealed the person’s identity with slightly trembling eyes and a confused voice.

“… Runia, senior… ?”

The identity of the woman who suddenly appeared was Runia.

Academy student and president of the ‘History Research Club’, a club that Rachel and other women belong to.

When Runia heard Rachel’s voice, she looked at her and smiled softly.

The same soft smile she usually showed.

“… Why is Senior Runia here… ? And the words… … .”

Rachel reacted in confusion to her appearance.

Even when she suddenly appeared and said something incomprehensible.

It was then.

“What does that mean?”

A fierce voice interrupted their conversation.

It was Ethan.

“There’s no need to ask.”

A completely unfamiliar face suddenly appeared and joined the conversation, but Ethan looked at Runia with unwavering eyes and asked as if he didn’t care about that at all.

It’s natural to be a little intimidated by those sharp eyes and ferocious voice.

Runia opened her mouth with a face without the slightest trembling.

“It’s just as you said. There is no need to ask.”

She said with a gentle smile on her face.

“The person you are looking for is me.”

At that sudden declaration.

“… … ?”

“… what… ?”

There was a feeling of puzzlement in the audience.

In the first place, they didn’t even know what Ethan and Veluid were talking about.

Therefore, I could not help but react in confusion to Runia’s sudden words.

Ethan, on the other hand, frowned.

Ethan, who was looking at Runia with searching eyes, was about to open his mouth with the intention of asking something.

Kugu Palace─

The ground, no, the world began to shake.

“What… … ?”

People looked around with bewildered expressions to find the cause of this strange incident.

“Um, that… !”

I soon noticed something strange.

The sky, which had only seemed black, suddenly began to move.

In that black sky, snow suddenly appeared.

***

Cheok─

The black sky split.

And then, a huge red eye appeared.

Looking into those eyes, I swallowed dry saliva.

Those red eyes, those huge eyes.

It was clearly looking at me.

– When I fought with you in the past, I didn’t move my body.

A man’s voice was heard.

– Because I knew that the loss would be too great if I moved my body, and that the opportunity would come again.

However.

– If I miss this opportunity, I don’t think there will be a next time. so… … .

Please deal with me as I really am.

Crackle!

There was a noise that felt like the heavens and earth were shaking.

Soon, the sky split apart.

The black sky splits.

A darkness deeper and darker than that, with no end in sight, has emerged.

and.

Puzzle!

Light appeared in the darkness.

A light filled with destructive power that will make your whole body tremble just by looking at it.

– I can’t move in this world for long with my body, so I will end it once and for all.

As if responding to the voice, the beam of light began to rapidly increase in size.

The beam of light, which was small at first, soon grew large enough to cover the sky after I blinked a few times.

– Ferdion. With this, I will erase all humans on earth along with you from this world.

With that calm declaration.

Light began to fall toward the ground.

***

“That… … !!”

“Alternative… … ?!”

The people on earth stared blankly with their mouths open at the sky that suddenly began to move, and the eyes that suddenly appeared there.

The soldiers in the midst of battle were no exception.

After a fierce fight, the soldiers looked up at the sky, which had begun to move, and a huge red glowing eye.

It was a risky action to take in the middle of a fight, but they did not lose their lives.

Because their opponents, the monsters, also stopped acting.

Even though countless numbers were killed by the armies of both empires, the monsters that were still filling up the academy stopped moving as soon as the sky began to move.

Then, the monsters all began to look up at the sky.

That appearance is a subject attending an audience with the emperor… No, it was reminiscent of a believer facing God.

It was a strange and mysterious sight that could not help but attract attention, but no one on earth paid attention to it.

The number of soldiers that was difficult to count, the residents of the large city of Perdion, and the party, including Mary, who were standing in the middle of the battlefield.

They were staring blankly at the sky, which had also begun to move.

And, my body was trembling.

Although it wasn’t fully conveyed, they vaguely felt it.

The presence of that sky.

That power.

They can’t fight it with their own strength… No, I instinctively knew that it was something I couldn’t even understand.

That’s why they lost their words and looked up at the sky in a daze and trembled.

In their eyes.

Cheok─

The sky split open.

and.

Puzzle!

A red light appeared there.

The beam of light that was created grew in size, making a noise that shook heaven and earth, and soon began to fall towards the ground.

“… It’s over.”

Someone said something after seeing that scene.

There was a deep sense of despair on his face.

It wasn’t just him.

Despair along with deep fear appeared on the faces of everyone around them.

On the face of the elite soldier who was not afraid even when facing numerous monsters, on the face of Alexis who always maintained her composure, and on the face of Veluid who always maintained her composure.

Even.

“… Damn.”

Even to Ethan’s face.

It was because everyone there felt it.

The unbelievable power of that beam of light.

Therefore, they had no choice but to despair.

Just like that, silence fell on the floor and on the ground.

“… no! yet… !”

However, not everyone was silent.

Mary opened her mouth as if trying to persuade everyone, as if she would not give up hope until the end.

However, she did not finish speaking.

Because no one responded to her words.

No, apart from that, no one paid attention to her.

They stared blankly at the rays of light falling from the sky, their eyes fading with hope.

I was just watching the apocalypse falling towards the ground, helpless and with deep despair.

It was then.

“Mary junior is right.”

Once again, a soft voice fell into their ears.

It was Runia.

“It’s not over yet.”

There was no shaking in her voice as she said that.

She spoke as she looked at the cracked sky with eyes sparkling with clear hope, at the rays of light that had begun to fall, and at the peak of the mountain that was finally revealed as the clouds cleared.

“Because he hasn’t given up yet.”
