by fnovelpiaAnother sun rises in the sky, scattering its light across the world.
“Block it!”
“Hold on!”
“We need more weapons!”
“Injured! Escort back!”
“Fight to the death! Forward!”
The commander of one of the troops who had been shouting like a madman at the forefront of the front bit his lip as he watched his soldiers gradually being pushed back.
This was expected from the time the dungeon rampage occurred. Not everyone in the world can overcome human limitations like a hero.
The soldiers have already done more than they can do. It’s crazy to expect more.
We must pull back the front lines. We must make a choice, even if it means making sacrifices. Otherwise, we will all die.
The commander, wiping the blood flowing down his face, saw a hallucination of a girl in the middle of the front line.
He returned after resolving the disaster that had appeared in front of his territory a few hours ago.
A hero who is still facing the evil god at the center of the disaster.
An apostle of the Lord who was smaller than anyone else but had a big back.
“Commander!”
The commander came to his senses after the servant who had struck the head of the spider-shaped monster screamed, and smiled and braced himself.
The flesh has long since reached its limit.
The only thing moving my body right now is an expression of desperation, and it wouldn’t be strange if I collapsed at any moment.
But strangely enough, my mind was clearer than ever.
Even though I used up all the energy left in my body, I still felt energy rising, so the source of this strength must be life.
I’m burning my life and moving right now.
And after this fight is over, I will turn to ash and scatter in the wind.
If I’m going to turn into ashes, I’d rather it be ashes with a better story.
I will carve out my body and become ashes that save others.
“Send a message to the Commander-in-Chief! He must prepare to retreat immediately!”
The commander, who had finished preparing himself mentally, shouted at the servant, but the servant’s gaze did not turn to him.
It’s an urgent situation and you’re losing your mind!
“Hey!”
“Commander.”
“Why aren’t you answering me when you’re listening to me!”
◦Look up at %◦”
“What do you want me to do when I see a sky without any light!”
“The sun has risen.”
Only then did the commander feel the warmth shining over his head.
Light was coming down from the sky that had been filled with darkness just a moment ago.
A light so warm that it made him forget the pain of his body and the immediate crisis. The commander, who had been staring blankly up, fascinated by the warmth pouring down from the sky, came to his senses belatedly and looked around.
The battle isn’t over yet. If we let our guard down like this, the monsters will attack!
“…Huh.”
What caught the eyes of the commander who had imagined the worst was the sight of the monsters melting like ice on a midsummer day.
There was no distinction between small and large, strong and weak. All the monsters that appeared on the ground withered away under the sunlight.
“Did a miracle happen?”
The commander threw down his weapon with a hollow laugh, took off his blood-stained helmet, and looked around.
A man who had lost his legs walks on the ground with his own legs.
A person who had been sleeping in the midst of bleeding suddenly opens his eyes and looks around anxiously.
A man who limped because of wounds he received on the front lines has now forgotten his wounds.
Miracles are occurring one after another on a land that was once filled with despair.
“Great Lord.”
The commander closed his eyes and said a short prayer. He stood in the middle of the battlefield, forcibly whipping his body, which looked like it might collapse at any moment.
“Listen up everyone!!!”
The soldiers who had been looking up at the sky following his shouts turned their heads one by one.
“The great Lord has given us a miracle! Evil has gone! Good has settled on earth!”
The commander, who had become the center of attention of everyone on the battlefield, smiled and raised his arm.
“We saved this country!”
“We saved this continent!”
“We saved this world!”
“So be proud! Your stories will be told on this continent forever! Just like the heroes of the past!”
““Waaa …
The commander, who saw that the soldiers’ cheers were shaking the ground, staggered back and leaned on the servant’s shoulder.
After a brief period of chaos, peace returned to the world.

Rasha, who was pinned to the wall with a greatsword embedded in the middle of her body, tried to twist her body to escape, but the pain only grew and there was no result.
What a dog-like old lady. Hanging on to such a strong blessing for nothing.
If you’re going to regenerate, do it right. My lifeline is still intact, so why isn’t my severed arm coming back?
Damn it. I wanted to avoid such a miserable death.
Lasha, who saw that the darkness in the sky was clearing, sighed in deep regret and vomited blood.
The final fight was the worst, because we were hunted by those who returned after defeating the Demon God of Destruction.
There were a few weaklings so I tried to target them but ha. That bastard Benedict was really fucking strong so I ended up failing.
It’s all because of that evil spirit. If that guy had just dealt with the trash, who knows what would have happened.
After grumbling for a while, Rasha felt the warmth of the sun and let out a long sigh.
Ah. I really don’t want to die.
There are still so many guys I want to meet…

After the battle, the Fairy Queen returned to the forest, congratulated the fairies for their hard work, and looked around the world through their eyes.
The continent was peaceful. There were no groups that tried to attack other countries during the chaos, no people who tried to seize power by swinging their swords at those within, no people who were angry because they did not want to admit that their faith was wrong, and no people who tried to take advantage of the absence of the evil god to take over the underworld.
The church that gave it all cried out that it was their fault and poured their wealth into stabilizing the continent.
Other religions that were growing up in various places also cooperated with the Church of God to save those who were caught in the disaster.
Instead of hindering him, many countries on the continent joined hands and moved for the good of the people.
And all these good deeds were supported by the gods who were able to stay on the earth for a short time.
An exceptional thing that is possible because the human era and the era of myth are now mixed together.
Those who did not know the circumstances might think that this was a result of coincidence, but those who were with the apostles of the Lord knew that this was by no means a coincidence.
From the beginning, one of the conditions that Lucy Allen set was the descent of the gods.
“Is it really that peaceful? I was worrying for nothing.”
Erginus, who had asked the Fairy Queen for confirmation, looked into space with a mixture of relief and bitterness, and let out a hollow laugh.
“You must have heard, warrior. I don’t think you’ll be coming forward.”
“That’s a good thing. This time, the hero is much more capable than us.”
It was different at the end of the age of myth.
After the war of the gods ended, the war of humans began, and even when that war ended, the continent was filled with distrust.
Those who lived at that time said that it was something that could only be solved with time, something that could not be done by one person. But look. Isn’t one person saving the continent?
“Thanks to you, I can leave without any regrets.”
As the contract with the Lord ends, the warrior’s body fades away.
“You’re going to have a hard time in the afterlife.”
“It’s better than waiting hundreds of years while looking into the darkness.”
The warrior smiled faintly and bowed his head, once again looking at his comrades.
“Thank you for everything. Let’s go first…”
“Why are you saying goodbye as if you were relieved?”
Lucy, who suddenly appeared among them, chased away the fairies making a fuss around her and stood in front of the warrior.
“Smelly junk guy. You haven’t done anything right.”
“…I’m truly sorry about that. But this is the way it is. We have to adjust the clock that is out of sync now.”
“That’s the same idea as the old man’s.”
The warrior, who had been puzzled by Lucy’s poisonous tone, was shocked to see that his body had regained its color.
“Apostle of the Lord! This is the promise made between me and the Lord! So…!”
“That’s canceled.”
“…You can’t move around like that! Wait. What?”
“It was canceled. It’s a relic from hundreds of years ago, so you don’t know the modern language? Should I teach you the letters first?”
“Lucy. Why does your speech seem more violent after the curse is lifted?”
Only after Ruel, who couldn’t stand to watch, intervened did Lucy step back with a playful smile.
“Grandpa. What if I say that out loud? I’ve set the mood.”
“Even a fool is my friend. I guess it was different before. Now, I wish he would have at least some manners.”
“Yes. Yes.”
Lucy gave a vague answer and turned her head away. She bowed politely as if everything just now had been an act.
“I’m sorry, warrior. I deliberately took a strong stance because I thought it might be difficult for you to understand. Regardless of my intentions, rudeness is rudeness. I sincerely apologize for hurting your feelings.”
“Huh. Huh? Huh? It’s okay. Don’t worry about it.”
“Thank you for accepting my apology. Okay. Okay?”
Ruel, who saw Lucy’s expression change in an instant, moved his lips as if he had something to say, but ended up sighing instead of complaining.
“…Haa. Okay. Okay, now explain in detail what you just said.”
“You suffered a lot because of our stupid mother, didn’t you? And you didn’t even compensate me properly after that. That’s why I scolded you.”
“You… killed your mother? ”
“He’s a sloppy person. He’s a fool who makes other people suffer because he’s lacking in many areas, and he’s also a pervert who wants to dress his daughter in a bunny outfit.”
Everyone was just rolling their eyes, not knowing how to react to Lucy’s words, when a voice mixed with tears was heard from behind Lucy.
“Ugh. I’m so sorry, everyone.”
The eyes of the great god were swollen and puffy, as if he had just been crying.
