Episode 240. sadness (3)
A subspace in Xi’an surrounded by thick fog.
What’s going on outside,
What happened to Xian, etc.
Those who had been pushed in unexpectedly did not know a single thing.
Brian goes back and forth with complicated thoughts.
Schurtz stands silently next to the sleeping Lunav.
Even Hastia just stares at the Soul Stone.
No one felt comfortable.
‘Sian… … .’
The person who was most anxious was definitely Hastia.
She held on to the Soul Stone with trembling hands and prayed over and over again that Xian would be safe.
‘why? why?’
I thought it was strange ever since a knight in golden armor appeared in the sky.
It looked unfamiliar on the outside, but the energy I felt was not unfamiliar.
As an elf who is protected by God, it was a very familiar energy that could never be ignored.
Hastia, who knows the identity of that energy,
‘You must be safe. ‘Sian!’
There was nothing I could do other than pray for Xian’s safety.
Meanwhile, Schurz was standing by Runab’s side in one corner of the space.
As he watched the entire series of situations, his mind was filled with complex and subtle feelings.
For what reason did he help them fight against the knights of the Imperial City?
For Lunav? Or for yourself?
Does it make sense that you can’t explain why you risked your life so hard to fight for?
It was a very pathetic thing for me to say.
“Please wake up safely. Lunav.”
Schurz wanted her to wake up as soon as possible and give her pathetic self an answer.
For a moment I had such blank eyes,
“… … !”
Schurz’s eyes immediately turned to the black book held in one of her arms.
Schurz stared at the book with a strange feeling for some reason, and naturally stretched out his hand.
“Stop moving.”
Then, I immediately stopped when I heard an unfamiliar voice coming from somewhere.
“Severe curiosity leads to sin. “It’s better not to touch the belongings that belong to you.”
Schurz wasn’t the only one who heard the voice.
Brian and Hastia also turned their heads immediately after hearing the voice.
“Who, who?”
“me? Well, you can just think of it as a servant of the lady who sleeps here.”
It was a strange man who had not been in this space just a few seconds ago.
The man was giggling, as if he was amused by the reactions of those looking at him.
“Hmm… … .”
Then, an uncomfortable groan came out from the mouth of Lunab, who was sleeping well.
Moving your body around is a bonus.
“Oh my. “Wouldn’t it be difficult if I woke up already?”
Contrary to expectations that sleep would continue for at least half a day, Lunav was slowly preparing to wake up.
Everyone rushed over to check on her condition.
“Well, are you still here?”
However, the person she desperately wanted to be there when she woke up was not yet here.
-Whoa!
At that moment, the fog of the Soul Stone that Hastia had began to spread clearly.
‘Soul Stone?’
-plodding along
At the same time, a gate opened on one side of the space, and someone’s footsteps were soon heard.
After a while, a familiar man appeared from beyond the gate.
It was Sian who promised to return.
Brian was the first to run to greet him.
“Yes, master! You’re safe… … !”
However, Brian could not bear to continue speaking due to the somehow changed atmosphere.
Xian trudged forward without saying a word or reacting, and when he reached Lunab, he collapsed and sat down.
The air suddenly became heavy due to the unexpected and unfamiliar appearance.
Either way, Sian quietly waited for Runab to wake up.
Finally, Lunav’s tightly closed eyes slowly opened,
The moment her wandering eyes turned to Sian,
“wow… … .”
A small exclamation came out of Lunav’s mouth.
He even blinked a couple of times as if he couldn’t believe what was going on.
“It’s not a dream, is it?”
“no.”

“Why are you here?”
“You said I should be the first thing you see when you open your eyes?”
“It was like that… … .”
She made eye contact with Sian with a blank expression for a moment, perhaps because she didn’t know it was real.
Then suddenly he stretched out both his hands towards him,
“what are you doing?”
“… … ?”
“You’re not helping me up.”
It got to the point where he openly ordered me to hug him.
Normally, I would have sighed as if it was absurd, but
This time, I accepted her touch without saying anything.
-shake
Lunav immediately hugged Xian’s body as if this was an opportunity.
Xian didn’t really refuse.
“Obviously, my heart must be racing like crazy because I’m so happy, but why? “You can’t do that, can you?”
“… … .”
“Did something bad happen, Senpai?”
Sian didn’t answer.
However, the slight tremor felt throughout the body was the answer.
“There it was.”
Lunav hugged Xian’s body tighter and patted his back.
“Then shouldn’t we go solve the problem? “Is it okay for me to stay here?”
“don’t mind. “I’ll take care of it.”
Runab gently pulled away and this time gently cupped Xian’s face and spoke.
“How can you not care? “Why is your senior making such a sad expression?”
“… … .”
“So you set aside all the issues that needed to be resolved and came to me? Wow, I finally succeeded?”
Lunav was truly happy, but couldn’t bear to smile brightly.
“song. “I’m done now.”
“… … .”
“There’s no need to delay me, so now let’s go where you need to go.”
However, contrary to what he said, at that moment, a ray of dew flowed from Runab’s eyes and down his cheek.
Sian couldn’t get up easily and stared at her face.
“why… … “Are you crying?”
“do not misunderstand. “I’m crying because I’m happy.”
Lunav quickly wiped away her tears and woke up.
“Let’s go. “It would be a big deal if I changed my mind.”
“The situation is over. Even if I don’t open the gate… … .”
Sian’s gaze briefly turned to Remi Haram, who was sitting behind her.
“You can go out on your own, right?”
“yes.”
Lunav responded that there was no problem.
Sian stroked Runab’s head.
“Goes.”
After a brief greeting, Sian, who was about to open the gate, soon turned his head to where Brian and Hastia were.
Then he silently approached Brian and said,
“Please take care of me for a moment.”
I handed him something.
Brian couldn’t help but be shocked at this.
“Yes, master! This!?”
The object that Xian gave was none other than a sword.
It wasn’t an ordinary sword either, it was his beloved sword and the only magical sword in this world called Kayram.
“Don’t be rude. “I’m asking you to hold on to it for just a moment.”
“yes. All right… … .”
Sian immediately opened the gate, leaving the dazed Brian behind.
The moment you try to lead your body like that,
‘Are you okay, Sian?’
Hastia sent a mental message from behind with a voice filled with concern.
Xian, who stood blankly for a moment,
‘no.’
With a short answer, he disappeared from space.
There was once again a feeling of silence in subspace.
Brian carefully placed the magic sword he received from Sian on the floor.
-sssss
Then, a black fog rose from the tip of the magic sword, and soon Kayram’s soul appeared.
[under… … .]
As soon as Kayram appeared, he sighed deeply.
“Is this something you really want to live a long time to see? “How could Mr. Kayram, who is second only to us villains, show such an uncomfortable appearance?”
Remi Haram, who saw this, tilted his head and asked.
[Bite your mouth. If you don’t want to be torn apart… … .]
All that came back was harsh swear words.
Remi Haram cleared his throat and turned his head.
Kayram was so angry that he held his head and muttered softly.
[She seems like a bitch that I don’t like until the end!]
* * *
Somewhere in the Usif Empire, in the middle of a hill on a deserted plain.
Rummendel is bathed in the golden light of a gorgeous evening sunset, showing off its sublime majesty.
He was stroking something with his hand, with a peaceful face.
It was none other than the holy sword Durandark.
The holy sword radiated brighter light than ever before, as if it had met its owner.
“Is there a reason why you suddenly changed your mind?”
“There is no such grand reason. “It’s just my little whim.”
“You won’t regret it, right?”
“Whether I regret it is up to you, not me.”
Rummendel slammed the main body of the holy sword he had stroked into the ground.
“under… … .”
Durandark, who accepted the divine energy, was so intoxicated by the ecstasy that he let out an exclamation.
“It doesn’t matter how the beginning and middle went. What matters is who is at the end. In the end, who gets to the end will be determined by who turns despair into motivation for growth first.”
As Rumendel said those words, his body began to turn into powder, and he gradually began to disappear.
“I hope it’s you.”
Durandark watched the scene with noble eyes and stayed in place until Rummendel disappeared completely.
“Everything will go as it should.”
Then, I slowly turned around to do the rest.
“W-this place?”
Eshel, the owner of the Holy Sword, who had fallen unconscious, finally opened his eyes and woke up.
“How long are you going to keep looking so pathetic?”
At the holy sword’s resolute response, Eshel quickly gathered herself.
“Come on, holy sword! “What is this situation?”
“Do I really need to explain it? You lost against the master of the magic sword. That too, very miserably. “If it weren’t for his salvation, your body would have been torn into tens of thousands of pieces by now and you wouldn’t even be able to recognize who you are.”
“W-you mean I lost?”
Eshel seemed to be having a hard time accepting the facts, unable to control her outpouring of emotions.
The shame and humiliation of defeat comes rushing in quickly followed by emotions.
An inexplicable laugh kept coming out of my mouth.
“You did that to me seven years ago. I will try to defeat the Heir of the Fog by any means possible, using everything I can… … .”
It was a shameful question that Eshel could not bear to answer.
“I didn’t like your methods. Neither did I want to share my power with other humans, nor did I really want to join forces with the Master of the Bible and create a being just like the Heir of the Fog. Maybe that’s why I didn’t think it would be successful. And that premonition was right on target.”
“Holy sword! “If only you would give me one more chance!”
“opportunity?”
Durandark immediately asked back as if it was ridiculous.
“The opportunity is not mine to give. “It is from Him.”
Durandark was glaring at Eshel so fiercely that he could kill her at any moment.
“Just once.”
“… … !”
“I don’t know what kind of whim occurred to you, but he’s giving you just one more chance.”
Durandark picked up his main body in front of him and handed it back to Eshel.
Eshel, who accepted the holy sword, was so intoxicated with ecstasy that she could not say anything.
“He even gave his power directly to me.”
The magic power of light is so enormous that it cannot be compared to anything before.
Eshel tried to suppress the rising emotion and sheathed the holy sword.
“I’ve had this conversation with Boris before.”
Durandark raised his chin as if asking him to speak.
“What should we do if we cannot stop the successor of the fog even with our human power? “As an answer, we proposed to use the power of races other than humans.”
“Other races?”
“yes. for example… … .”
Eshel smiled meaningfully and spoke slowly.
“The beings of the demon world and their king who live far away across the canyon.”
