Episode 297 While he was away (2)
The heat of the flames was so intense that the snow that had accumulated around it melted in an instant.
The flame of tangible attribute power does not go out easily.
Kendrick and Tania jumped into the wall of brightly burning flames without hesitation.
At that moment they could see.
Bright yellow reptilian eyes staring at them from within the flames.
Waldo was still alive even in the flames.
Without any damage.
“left!”
“Then I’m on the right!”
However, as if they had already expected this to happen, the flame siblings dispersed left and right without much agitation.
Crrr-.
When he saw the flame siblings quickly running towards him, he cried uncomfortably.
He felt it too.
That the humans who approach with their backs to the flames are not easy beings.
However, Waldo is also a monster that reigns as the top predator in the Demon Sea.
Even dragons were monsters to be wary of.
There was no way a guy like that would back down from someone like a human.
-Cruk!
Rather, he rushed towards the flame siblings with a happy smile, and soon a 2-on-1 clash broke out.
Kwaang-.
There was a loud explosion that could not have been thought to have been the result of flesh-and-blood creatures colliding.
Bang- Bang-.
Kendrick’s red spiritual sword flew towards Waldo’s vital spot, and Tania’s fist, which was close to Waldo, flew like a buckshot.
Quite literally -.
Waldo’s six arms countered this and moved invisibly.
Additionally, the black magic energy emanating from its body menacingly aimed at the neck and heart of the Flame Brothers and Sisters.
Touddeuk-.
The three repeatedly clash and fall apart to the point where they are invisible to the eye.
Waldo, who was engaged in a tense fight against the flame siblings who were approaching the wall of zero, could certainly be called the dominant species of the Demon Sea.
Another weight was added to the balance that had been maintained for a while.
Push-soo-.
A blue arrow flew through the surrounding wall of flames.
The arrow that suddenly came in passed through the momentary gap in the fight between the flame siblings and Waldo and aimed at Waldo’s vital spot.
The skill of calculating only 0.1 seconds and firing an arrow through that gap.
This could be called archery that had reached the realm of gods.
The blue arrow that flew like that created an opportunity for the flame siblings.
Quite literally -.
Taking advantage of Waldo’s attention to arrows, Kendrick’s sword cut off two of the man’s six arms.
Chi-ik-.
“Good job, Jerome!”
The cross section of the severed arm was boiling and emitting acrid smoke.
Waldo allowed the blow.
Thanks to this, the gap became even bigger, and Tania did not miss this.
Ugh-.
0.3 seconds.
A powerful energy was concentrated in Tania’s fist.
0.5 seconds.
Arms stretched forward.
0.7 seconds
The fist, trained countless times, touched Waldo’s abdomen.
0.8 seconds
Tung-.
With a soft sound, Tania’s body moved away from Waldo.
and.
1 second.
Fu Chemical-.
Flames erupted from behind Waldo’s back, and a 30cm diameter hole appeared in his abdomen where Tania’s fist had landed.
Grumbling-.
The heat that started from the hole created by Tania soon spread throughout Waldo’s body, turning him into pitch-black ash.
dump-.
Waldo was lying on the floor, his body cut in half due to a hole in his abdomen.
Tania, who was looking down at this indifferently, stepped on Waldo, who had already turned into a black charcoal, and crushed him.
Kendrick came to her side.
“Good job.”
But despite her brother’s words, Tania raised her head without saying a word.
Keek!
Wow!

Whoa!
In her field of vision, the image of Nabi taking down monsters from all directions came into view.
Soon Tania also rushed towards that place.
“… … .”
Kendrick, who was silently watching his sister walking away, gently shook his head.
Elvis’ voice came to his ears.
“Kendrick! Request support from the west! “They’re trying to break through there!”
“… I get it.”
Kendrick glanced at Tania once more and followed Elvis’ commands.
How much time has passed like that?
Wow!
The cries of those who survived today echoed loudly from the great defense wall.
* * *
After a brutal battle.
Kendrick walked through the encampment inside the great wall.
Then I met a platinum-blond-haired man with a white bow wrapped around his upper body.
Kendrick waved at him.
“Hey, Jerome. “The support fire earlier was good.”
“… … .”
Jerome nodded without saying anything.
Kendrick, who knew full well that this was not because Jerome was ignoring him but that he was naturally like that, smiled and asked another question.
“What about Abel?”
“… “I’m taking care of patients.”
If you wanted to hear the voice of Jerome, a man of few words, all you had to do was ask him about Abel.
The only time he spoke much was when he was talking about Abel.
Kendrick looked away.
There was a woman dressed in white, busily walking among the sick.
A woman called the Virgin Mary on the winter continent.
Abel was busier after the battle than during it.
Kendrick took his eyes off her and looked toward the command center.
‘Elvis must have gone to report on the situation up north.’
A few days ago, a request for assistance came from the Telegraph Church in charge of the northern front.
Since he had just arrived after resolving the matter, he probably went to report related matters to the command.
As Kendrick was thinking that, Ravina and three other men and women appeared from one side.
Lavina lightly stroked Kendrick’s face.
“great job.”
“you also.”
Kendrick and Lavina smiled gently at each other.
At this, a woman who appeared to be in her mid-20s behind Ravina pouted her lips.
“Aren’t you two too hot?”
“Si, it’s noisy! Boo, if you’re jealous, you should make a boyfriend too!”
Ravina blushed and got angry.
Kendrick, who had been laughing at that situation, asked this time with a slightly stiff face.
“… “What about Tania?”
Ravina answered that question with a stern face.
“maybe… “It must be outside the castle walls.”
“I guess so… thanks.”
Kendrick nodded and turned around again to head outside the castle walls.
Among those who were watching him leave, one man asked.
“Lavina.”
“why?”
“I’ve been curious about this for a long time… “Why do you go outside the walls whenever you come to the Great Wall?”
At that question, Ravina looked at the man who asked the question.
‘hmm… … .’
Since coming to the Winter Continent, I have been constantly fighting monsters.
In the process, I made various connections and also saved many lives.
That’s 6 years.
As they fought frantically, a group of forces began to chase after them.
Although they are a small number, they are talented and driven.
Among them, the man in front of them was the one who had been following them since the beginning of the fight on the winter continent.
I also learned a few tricks from Kendrick and Tania.
In some ways, you could call him a disciple… … .
‘This guy… ‘I liked Tania.’
A bit aloof, but decent looking.
Moreover, he is an outstanding talent who reached Tier 2 at the age of 27.
It was said that she was a talent that any nobleman with a daughter would covet.
but… … .
‘Unfortunately, the wall is too high, Inseok.’
Ravina shook her head.
‘but… ‘It’s time to know.’
You should at least know this because it will be easy to give up.
Ravina said in a calm voice.
“You guys know what?”
“yes?”
“Tania used to be a cute girl who laughed and joked around a lot?”
“yes?!”
“really?”
Others were surprised by Ravina’s story and asked questions.
That’s because the Tania they saw always had an expressionless face and was an emotionless person who didn’t know jokes.
“huh.”
“But why now…” … .”
“Because I lost my reason to smile.”
“… … ?”
“I asked you earlier, why does Tania always go outside the castle walls whenever she comes here?”
“Yes, I did.”
“That guy… “I’m waiting.”
“What?”
“A loving being.”
“ah… … .”
The faces of the people around them became gloomy as they heard about Tania’s past for the first time.
At that time, the woman who first made fun of Ravina asked.
“so… “When will the person you are waiting for, Tania, return?”
“… … .”
At this, Ravina turned her gaze beyond the castle wall without saying a word.
Lavina’s lips softened as she thought of Tania, who was still waiting for ‘him’.
“I can’t come back.”
“yes?”
“… “He’s dead.”
“… … ?!”
Ravina smiled bitterly as she looked at the surprised reactions of those around her.
“I want to see you again too. “The way Tania smiles.”
The slowly setting sunset light looked particularly sad today.
* * *
Meanwhile, at that time.
High in the sky with nothing in sight.
A pure white line appeared in a place where not even the clouds could reach.
Tsutsutsu-.
The solid line emitting clear light gradually expanded its area to the left and right, and soon a rectangular white space was created.
and.
side!
“Keck!”
“Tsk!”
Two seals were spit out.
* * *
“Were you here?”
Tania, who was hugging a butterfly, answered briefly when she heard a voice from behind her.
“huh.”
Although she answered, Tania’s gaze did not leave the front.
Where her eyes landed.
It was a magical sea where monsters were coming from just a little while ago.
Seeing his younger brother like that, Kendrick sighed lightly.
“Isn’t that enough? Already 6 years… No, it will be 7 years soon… … . “Isn’t it time to forget?”
As soon as Kendrick finished speaking, Tania turned her head.
Her eyes were wide open.
A sharp voice came from Tania.
“Forget it? Teacher? “Is that what you want to do now?”
“But it’s been seven years. Seeing as you still haven’t come back… “I guess the twins are right.”
“shut up!”
Kendrick’s concern deepened at his brother’s cold reaction.
My younger brother, who used to be lively and funny, changed like this about seven years ago, when he returned from a long six-year journey following his teacher’s orders.
The day I returned after a long journey.
It was not Lois who welcomed them, but the crying twins.
‘Guys… Roy… … .’
‘Roy… They said he was dead.’
The sad news the twins shared was so shocking and unrealistic.
Lois, who never seemed like she would die.
A teacher who felt like he was far from death.
At first, everyone could not believe the sad news.
And the subsequent stories were even more shocking.
A forbidden sea that humans cannot reach.
A powerful and inexplicable enemy appeared there.
Of the four zero-level ancient dragons in the Demon Sea at the time, only one managed to escape, and the remaining three, including Royce, disappeared.
Since this was something the dragons themselves had figured out over and over again, it was accepted as a fait accompli.
And when Tania heard the news of Lois’ death, she fainted on the spot.
Afterwards, Tania locked herself in her room without eating or drinking for several days.
One day she came out of the room and said:
‘I’m going to the winter continent.’
Tania did not believe that Lois was dead.
And I believed.
The teacher is not dead.
I’m sure he’s alive.
So, they decided to wait for him near Mahae, Royce’s last destination.
The group respected Tania’s decision and followed her to the winter continent.
Afterwards, Tania expressed her anger at the monsters pouring from the Demon Sea.
Will killing the monster speed up Lois’ return at all?
Or, he wondered if his faith would become weak and he would accept Lois’ death.
Tania killed and killed monsters like a crazy person.
For about 7 years, he continued to fight against monsters with all his might.
Thanks to this, her skills improved rapidly and she was now able to put the wall of zero in front of her, but in reality, the wall in her heart had built up even higher than that.
‘ha… … .’
Kendrick sighed and nodded at his sister’s murderous gaze towards him.
“sorry… “I made a mistake.”
“Watch your mouth from now on. Even if everyone else accepts the teacher’s death… I am… And you should never do that. “Think of what you have done for us!”
“okay… You are right. “I guess I went crazy for a moment.”
At Kendrick’s apology, Tania turned her gaze forward again.
The butterfly licked the back of Tania’s hand as if to comfort her.
Kendrick also stood next to Tania without saying anything more.
Like that, the siblings stared at the Demon Sea endlessly.
It was that moment.
Twitch!
The nose of the butterfly in Tania’s arms twitched.
