“You don’t remember?”
On the white sandy beach where a bonfire was lit, Gaold and Gangnan Zulu sat together in a circle.
“It’s happened before. It got better for a while, but then it got a little worse. But the biggest problem is…
Gaold raised his face, shining in the torchlight.
“There is no standard for memories to disappear.”
I said it back, but Kang Nan understood.
“maze.”
Since his time as president of the association, he had been going out whenever he was bored, but he never forgot about the maze.
Gaold asked why they were fighting.
‘It hurts so much that the pain has soared without knowing its limits, and as a result, even its essence has been lost.’
Kang Nan asked.
“If you don’t remember the maze…
“That doesn’t matter.”
Gaold was adamant.
“I’m not particularly anxious about that. It doesn’t matter if I forget the maze. However, the reason I am being honest with you is because of concerns about weakening power. “If you forget the maze, you won’t be able to unleash the power of apostasy.”
“That’s the problem now!”
Kang Nan suddenly stood up.
“You don’t even know why you’re fighting! Suffer till death! Go back to Zion now! Go and be honest with Miro! “This is the limit!”
“And then what?”
In front of Gaold’s gaze, Kang Nan withered.
“leave. Take Miro and leave. Run away somewhere and live happily. “Miro said he would do the same.”
“…It did.”
Kang Nan realized.
Gaold could not go to her because Miro had promised to do so.
“Stupid human being.”
Gaold smiled painfully.
“Kkeke, don’t be too weird. I am a wizard too. If you don’t see the end, you won’t be able to resolve it. Anyway, it’s not a good situation. “Let’s focus on solving the problem.”
Zulu said.
“It’s just that I can’t remember, it doesn’t mean I’ve lost my senses. If you calmly understand yourself, you won’t make any mistakes in battle. The problem is that its power has weakened.”
Gaold rested his chin and was lost in thought.
“It’s so powerful…
It couldn’t have been a good feeling to leave the maze and become weak as a magician.
‘Is there such a thing as pain greater than love?’
More than anything, it was humiliating to have my mind evaluated by the shame of apperception.
“You might need shock therapy.” “It’s a maze.” Three people entered the room where Maze was immersed in meditation.
Standing behind him were executives Armin and Kuan, and Li Lia, now a full-fledged mage.
“I’m here?”
When Miro opened his eyes, his quiet aura disappeared and his true human nature was revealed.
She has become much thinner since Gaold left, but her beautiful appearance has not faded.
Sein asked.
“Are you sure it’s okay? The amount of food is too small. Sleep time is also extremely short. “We can’t fight like this.”
“It actually helps.”
The thinner the body, the sharper the mind.
Although her body would be damaged if this situation continued, she was preparing for the final battle.
“Now that the psychic realm is gone, there is no need to have a lot of manpower in Zion. “I will start my activities from now on.”
So these were the three people I called.
“Quan Armin Lyria goes to Tormia. Stop the army of hell there.”
Kuan asked.
“Why Tormia? “The demons haven’t even come to Kazura yet.”
“50% of the demons were wiped out due to Sojeonghwa, but the corps commanders would have survived. If they gather in the central continent, it will only be a matter of time before they break through. Tormia is the only room wall. and??????
Miro raised the corner of his mouth.
“You want to go, right? Tormia.”
There was Olipher Sheina.
While Kuan was silent and lost in thought, Lilia nodded vigorously.
“yes. “Then we’ll leave as soon as we’re ready.”
The three people leaving for Tormia left the room, but Sein still stayed there.
“It’s a maze.”
Miro shook his head because he knew what Sein was trying to say.
“Please leave. “Because it interferes with my ability to concentrate.”
The conversation always ended here.
However, now that the psychic realm was sealed and activities were free, Sein pushed hard.
“Are you really not going to meet me?”
Miro was speechless.
“It is no exaggeration to say that he single-handedly devastated the south. “He doesn’t have much time.”
“You’ll be able to hold out.”
“doesn’t exist. No matter how strong your mind is, the brain is a physical organ. “There is
a limit to durability .”
There was no way he wouldn’t have known it was her.
“Gaold is not coming. So you should go. Go check on him. “This is a military order.”
Miro stuck out his lower lip.
“And what if I ask you to start a household?” Sein turned around.
“…I’m glad I have the strength to do that.”
The door was closed.
The Gustav Empire was nothing like it was when the planet was first born.
The demons were almost completely wiped out, but that did not mean that not a single one of them disappeared.
This is because when the corps commanders left the empire, the quick-witted demons also quickly fled.
The surviving demons dispersed throughout the world and spread what they had seen.
-It rained. bombardment of light.
-Everything was destroyed! The demons and the world have all been wiped out, leaving nothing behind!
The rumor spread quickly. -I have never seen Yahweh so scary. You should never, ever, ever make him angry.
-We will all disappear! He won’t forgive us!
I was half out of my mind.
-I saw it! I ended up seeing something I should never have seen! Ahhh!
All of the demons who heard the rumor, without exception, shuddered at the fear of Yahweh.
Three weeks passed like that.
This was when Sirone and Lian crossed the Akkad Desert and arrived at the border of the central continent.
Lian, who was riding the warhorse she found two days ago, spoke to Sirone, who was sitting with her back to him.
“It’s probably the Kingdom of Bornai.” It was like that at one time, but now it has been devastated by the war with the demons.
Sirone was speechless, as if dead.
It was natural that I had no strength to speak after starving for several days, but what was more serious was the wall in my heart.
While coming here, Lian told me about what happened in the Gustav Empire.
A bombing raid that wiped out an empire in just a few hours.
Perhaps, if I hadn’t met Guy in some world, the planet would have been destroyed.
Since hearing that, Shirone has not said anything other than about menstrual activity.
‘It must be a big shock.’
Great power was a wizard’s dream, but that was only when it was controllable.
Sojeonghwa’s disaster was the first time in Sirone’s life that he could not control magic.
“Let’s get some food first.”
Unlike the desert, the central continent was a place where civilization flourished, so it would be possible to find food.
After riding for two hours, we arrived at a badly destroyed city.
Considering the location, it was probably called ‘Arka’, but there was no way to confirm.
As I stepped through the door that had collapsed inward, I saw the remains of buildings that had been dismantled into bricks.
Lian was relieved to see that there were rats running around among the rotting corpses.
“huh?”
Lian gently grabbed the horse’s reins.
‘To live.’
It was a low-class way of life that anyone with some experience of war could feel, but there were quite a lot of them.
“A horse.”
From all directions, haggard-looking people appeared, holding spears.
Giving up surprise and relying on numbers meant untrained civilians.
“Get off me. “The horse is ours.” There seemed to be no experience of plunder.
“Who is the leader?”
Based on these circumstances, Lian realized that these people were self-sufficient survivors of a destroyed city.
The toothless old man shouted.
“I told you to get off! That’s ours! “I really want to die!”
There was no threat to Rian, and Sirone was just looking at the ground without any interest.
“stop. He’s a soldier. “You can’t deal with it.”
When I looked up at the top of the collapsed building, I saw a woman with her hair cut short like a man’s, holding a long sword.
She swiftly jumped from a height of 4 meters and approached Lian with great strides.
“Is it a defeat disease? “How did we get here?”
“I am on my way back to my hometown. “If you just let us go, we will leave quietly.”
“Where is your hometown?”
“Tormia.”
The corners of the woman’s mouth went up coldly.
“Sounds good. I still have a place to return to. Pass the word and leave. “We will use it for our food.”
Horses were Lian and Sirone’s food.
“You can’t do that. Again, I don’t want to fight. “You guys aren’t thieves either.”
“thief?”
The woman was offended.
“Seeing as how you still have a good conscience, I can see how you survived. “Have you ever fought a war properly?”
In her opinion, Rian and Sirone were in their early 20s at most.
“You may not know because you are a high noble, but the justice you cried for is already dead. If she didn’t go beyond her words…
Lian didn’t even show her murderous intent, but if she crossed a certain boundary, the woman’s head would be cut off.
“Give it to me.”
Sirone opened his mouth.
“Just give it to me, Lian.”
“Sirone.”
“I don’t want to fight with anyone.”
Sirone needed time to think.
“Hehe, as expected, you are quick-witted. “Yes, I saved your life, but I can’t just throw it away here.”
Ryan suggested.
“I’ll pass the horse over, so please pass me some meat.” “You can do that much, right?”
“A little meat? Crazy guy. Even a handful of burned-out seeds are the weight of life here. “But you want meat?” The woman turned around and said.
“The horse will be slaughtered and dried. Follow me. “I’ll treat you to at least a bowl of porridge.”
Since he had to eat something first, Rian got off the horse and carried Sirone on his back.
The place we arrived was a temporary shelter divided into sections using the remains of a building, and a bonfire was burning.
The 100 survivors were doing their own work, such as repairing the camp or making porridge.
Although the wood-burning area was warm, Sirone insisted on a cold corner.
“Is this all there is to survive?” The woman smiled bitterly.
“There were more at first. Most died of disease. There were so many corpses. Those who are still alive should be considered to have strong vitality.”
The woman threw two blankets.
“write. One sheet per person. Meals will be distributed in one hour. “Follow the rules while you’re here.”
Rian returned to Sirone without a word.
“Shirone, cover this and close your eyes for a moment.”
One wrapped around Sirone’s shoulders and hers covered Sirone’s knees.
The man watching from afar laughed.
“Can we even be lovers? “You are extremely sincere.” In this shelter, caring for others was a luxury and even a rule.
“A new person has arrived?”
A man’s voice was heard from behind Lian.
When I turned my head, a cold-looking man was approaching me, accompanied by a woman.
“I got the horse. “I’ll leave in a moment.”
The woman spoke, but the man didn’t even respond and looked at Rian and Sirone alternately.
“What are you doing now?”
The man, who immediately frowned, pointed to two blankets covering Sirone.
“I guess you ordered one per person?”
“I gave it to you. “It doesn’t matter, right?”
“no. There is no concept of this shelter as mine. There is only the concept that it is ours. “Take it right now and cover it.”
Even though he could hand over the horse, he could not compromise on Shirone’s convenience.
“You are free to use what you have received. What right do you have to interfere with that?”
“Because I’m the manager of this shelter.”
When the man opened his palm, flames bloomed.
“I am a wizard. “Is this enough to qualify?” Even as Rian remained silent, Sirone was just looking forward with an indifferent look in his eyes.
