〈 Episode 347 〉 Regret (1)
* * *
Carrying out the mission was not difficult.
There were no troops protecting the church, and Kyle, who was said to have become a disaster, was nowhere to be seen. Remia completed the mission given to me by putting the sleeping Raniel in the carriage.
“···Phew.”
Remia, leaning against a colorless tree, let out a long sigh. The forest is the home of the elves. When she entered the forest, Remia used to feel that her mind became calm. However, she couldn’t do that even in this forest.
A forest that has lost its color is colorless and odorless.
However, while leaning against the empty forest, Remia wiped the corners of her eyes. The great ancestors said that Kyle was worse than death. Sarah also added that it probably wasn’t normal.
…What did he do while those two were like that?
What should I do? They were eating meat in the north. Remia let out a laugh.
Remia has been denied this and that throughout her journey over the past several years. Her archery skills were great, but she wasn’t great enough to take on sword-wielding superhumans. Remia was infinitely helpless in front of those who were called disasters.
His pride as a shrine, his pride as the best elf ranger, and his pride that he would be wiser because he lived longer than humans were all shattered.
What remains is birth.
Their only racial trait is that they are elves with more natural abilities than others. This is Remia, who spent years masturbating and trying to fill her broken pride with that one birth. Even though he was pointed out by his great ancestor, Remia did not change.
but.
I can’t do that even at this moment.
Remia thought for the first time. He focused his attention on a complex and uncomfortable topic that he had been ignoring. Remia groaned at the things that began to appear.
“···what’s this.”
Remia muttered.
“Human, human, damn human.”
I covered my face with my hands and gritted my teeth.
Humans living short lives.
Remia considered them foolish as they lived a far short amount of time compared to the elves. She was pitiful, she sympathized. It has to be that way. Because she couldn’t afford them. Because I lived my life struggling like I was going to die tomorrow.
But that’s why.
Therefore, paradoxically, they shined.
Remia was fascinated by their light. I was fascinated by the gray wizard’s light and buried by the hero’s brilliance. They outshined themselves. They were incomparably brilliant and noble people.
“······.”
Remia smoothed her ears.
Elongated ears. Elf symbol.
Remia is now ashamed of something she has been proud of all her life. Remia knows how to divert her eyes from the embarrassment she now feels.
Don’t think about anything.
All you have to do is move without thinking and only pursue pleasure.
All you have to do is act as you have done for years, as you have done for decades. Remia knows that it will be easier then. But, is that really…
That was when I thought about it.
“······!”
Remia trembled briefly.
The ground shook. The forest was shaking. The tree shook noisily. This was the moment when Remia slowly raised her head at the strange sound.
“···ah.”
Remia sighed involuntarily.
she saw
The moment when the earth and sky turn upside down.
Ka-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga!
A pile of dirt rose into the sky.
Uprooted trees soared into the sky. A whole section of the forest was thrown into the sky along with a pile of dirt. Remia’s body stiffened in front of a scenery that she could not understand even with her eyes.
and.
“Wagon, start the wagon!”
Kalt jumped out of the overturning forest.
He shouted as he ran with all his might, carrying Sarah on his back. Cardi, who was riding the carriage, quickly manipulated the magic tool, and the carriage began to move at high speed.
The forest turns over.
Everything in sight is reversed.
Leaving behind the overturning and falling scenery, the carriage begins to race. Remia got on the carriage first, and Kalt, who had barely arrived a moment later, grabbed the carriage’s decorations and got on.
“Ugh, huh…”
While Kalt was out of breath, Remia stuck her head out and looked at the back of the carriage. The middle of a forest where the boundary between heaven and earth has disappeared. Kyle was standing there. A man who was a warrior was standing there.
The Sword of Reverse Heaven, Kyle Torben.
He is looking at the sky with empty pupils. Remia’s pupils trembled as she looked at Kyle, who had become a disaster. She pursed her lips.
“Ahhh···.”
Remia groaned.
Her face contorted in pain.
2.
“There is no major problem.”
Cardi opened her mouth in the rattling carriage.
“Breathing and pulse are normal. There is no harm to the body. “The problem is with the soul.”
“···The soul side?”
“okay. “Didn’t you say that this child is definitely a saint?”
“yes. “It is Saint Sarah.”
Cardi looked at Sarah and smoothed her chin.
“That doesn’t make it feel sacred.”
“···yes?”

“I know the saint well. A vessel made by God. There is no divinity that should be contained in that vessel. “It’s as if she was empty.”
It was Cardi’s first time seeing this.
“Plus, part of his soul was cut off.”
I lost a part of my soul.
It’s as if a part of it was cut off and given to someone. Regardless of whether it was possible, this was close to crazy.
“I think your memory may have been affected. “It might be difficult to open your eyes.”
“···Is that so.”
“It is unclear whether I will open my eyes. “I guess we’ll have to wait and see.”
Cardi looked away.
The gaze was directed at Raniel, who was still sleeping. Her face was alive with life as she neared her death. Her broken body is also recovering quickly. That is not human resilience.
‘···The contract appears to have been completed.’
The shape of the soul changed.
Instead of being a cracked and split vessel, it became a complete vessel that could hold stars. There was enough starlight to overflow the bowl.
“Senior… are you okay?”
Kalt asked.
Cardi spoke after a moment of silence.
“You’re safe.”
Other than that, no other words were added.
Kalt didn’t ask any more questions either. Kalt already understands the situation to some extent. Kalt also knows whose blood Raniel became healthy after drinking.
“…If not.”
Kalt muttered without saying a subject.
“What happened to you, senior?”
“He must be dead.”
“Was there no way to survive?”
“does not exist. “Because I couldn’t find it either.”
Kyle Torben saved Raniel van Trias.
Raniel walked away from death in a way he never wanted to. The two of them knew very well how she would take this fact.
“···It won’t be easy.”
This is Raniel, who hates someone’s sacrifice. He is Ran El, who carried an excessively heavy burden in order to answer those who died for him.
The life of a warrior was placed on her shoulders.
Raniel survived thanks to the sacrifice of Kyle Torben, who was his only friend. And, Kyle Torben was a disaster. As if he was the master.
‘It’s not easy, really.’
Kalt frowned and changed the topic.
“…Kyle Torben. “Is it really not finished?”
“okay.”
“It’s terrible.”
The forest was turned upside down with a single sword strike.
Even after seeing the sword strike that broke down the boundary between heaven and earth, Kalt did not understand. What I felt the moment I faced it was death.
‘···The sword of death, Ganicalt.’
What comes to mind is the most fearful disaster.
Of course, it may not be comparable to Ganicalt right now, but the elf in front of me said. That thing isn’t finished. That it will become stronger in the future.
A disaster comparable to the sword of death.
Moreover, the man who was once a warrior became a disaster.
“···Really.”
Kalt let out a laugh.
This is a Kalt who worked on the battlefield for many years. This is Kalt, who gave up his life many times for humanity. Kalt felt a sense of futility at the emergence of a new disaster.
“At this point, I think the whole world is just trying to force humans to perish. “What on earth are we going to do?”
There is no end.
Many people died, inflicting damage on the disaster. At the last moment, they achieved a feat. But what about their words?
Kuntel, the swordsman, became the apostate’s familiar.
The warrior Galahal couldn’t even leave a body behind.
The warrior, Kyle, became a disaster.
These are absolutely terrible words.
When I think of their end, all that comes to mind is emptiness. Kalt looked at his palm with empty eyes. Even though he is a superhuman, there is nothing he can do.
I was about to sigh like that.
Suddenly, Kalt saw Remia sitting next to him. She saw her expression. At that moment, Kalt had to hold back the breath he was about to let out.
“······.”
Both Kalt and Cardi are silent.
The carriage moved in the silence.
No one opened their mouths until the carriage arrived at the royal capital. Remia was just staring at her window with her blank eyes.
That’s how the mission ended.
A day later, Raniel opened his eyes.
3.
I had a long dream.
In my dream, I somehow found myself back in the past. The time before I had a falling out with Kyle. It was back when I was really pushing Kyle. I was holding the guy by the collar.
At this time, he shouted something.
He probably urged me to pick up the sword.
I screamed, asking where I could rest. She got irritated and asked, “You’re the kind of bird who can do it, so why don’t you do it?” When I think about it now, I think I was in a hurry back then.
Because the given life span is not long.
Now that I had lost my lifespan, I felt the fear that I would probably die without achieving my goal.
Those worries were right.
Because that’s actually what happened. I will die without accomplishing anything. I know that now. So, when I returned to the past, I behaved a little differently. Maybe I was able to do that because I had already given up.
“Well, okay.”
I let go of Kyle’s collar that I was holding on to.
“···This can be happen.”
You probably have your own difficulties too.
To be honest, I was scared too.
f*ck, how do you catch that?
“Can you see my hands? bastard?”
You’re shaking.
In fact, it’s hard to even stand now.
I just want to rest too. I don’t know why everyone relies on us. No, I know, but… can’t you take a break? I wish I had done this.
“a little bit.”
we.
“Let’s rest for a bit.”
It might be a little okay.
Actually, I know I shouldn’t do that.
Since I’m so tired… shall we rest for a bit?
I mumbled and tapped Kyle on the shoulder. They made jokes, muttered old stories, and chatted about how a lot had changed.
We talked not as warriors and wise men, but as friends we had known since childhood.
“Yeah f*ck, back then…”
“What should you do with that talk? “Raniel.”
“Don’t you think that way of talking doesn’t suit you?”
“…It’s the tone of a hero.”
“Damn. “Don’t hold the weight, you idiot.”
I know this is a dream.
When I open my eyes, I know that I will have to face death again. Still, I was dreaming, I thought. I’ll call Kyle when I wake up.
‘Yes, it’s a shame to end it like this…’
At least you shouldn’t leave any regrets.
So, what should I tell him? What should I say? Actually, I already know the correct answer. It was clear that Kyle was thinking about something useless again.
I closed my eyes and opened them.
Time passed and I was lying in the hospital bed, and Kyle, who had come to visit, was looking at me. Are you asking me to practice in my dreams? I stopped laughing and extended my hand to Kyle in front of me. As if asking for a handshake.
“Hey, Kyle.”
Kyle was speechless.
I said to Kyle, who looked at me silently.
“You’re still friends with me, right?”
Kyle burst into laughter at those words.
The guy grabbed my hand. And then, I pulled it hard. As if telling me to stand up. I was clearly not in a good condition to stand up, but before I knew it, I was standing with both feet on the ground.
“···uh?”
I looked back with my eyes wide open.
and.
Kyle wasn’t there.
Flash.
I opened my eyes.
Warm sunlight came.
I slowly stood up. I couldn’t even lift a finger, but for some reason, it was so easy to get up now.
I raised my body.
I got off the bed, put both feet on the ground, and stood up. She tried to breathe slowly, but unlike usual, she didn’t feel as if she was out of breath. He didn’t even cough up her blood. Her vision wasn’t blurry, and there was no tingling pain in her chest.
My body was completely fine.
“···Wow, what is it?”
I sighed involuntarily and twirled my arms. The stiff body creaked, but that was all. My body had more strength than ever before.
···Is this possible?
Even as I tilted my head, I couldn’t help but smile. I thought I was going to die lying in bed, but now at least I can move. I couldn’t help but be happy.
‘···I should thank Cardi.’
Are you still waiting outside the door?
I don’t know how long I’ve been asleep, but if I’m still waiting, I’ll start bowing right away. With that in mind, I was about to place my hand on the doorknob.
“······.”
I stopped.
“what.”
I slowly raised my hand.
I put my hand on my heart.
I no longer felt the old stuff that had been bothering me for the past few years. The circuitry engraved on his chest also stopped working. Instead of them, something else was beating in my heart.
slowly.
Very slowly I raised my head.
When I close and open my eyes, platinum-colored particles are blooming around my body. I know what that particle is. It’s impossible not to know.
It was starlight.
That’s the starlight I’ve seen so many times.
“What is this…”
This was Kyle Torben’s starlight.
【Raniel van Trias.】
It was then.
【Blessings to the new hero.】
The star’s voice rang in my ears.
