Epilogue, the beginning, not the end (1)
Incheon, the Korean Empire.
Inside the shelter in Area A.
Civilians evacuated to shelters trembled in fear at the tremendous impact heard from outside.
Quaang!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The space was shaken.
According to Kim Jun-hyeok’s explanation, the Shelter installed 10 layers of magic defense, but people showed pale expressions from the stone dust that rained down from the ceiling.
Did you say that humans are imaginative creatures? Every time I heard a huge shock sound and watched the stone dust fall in front of my eyes, my ominous imagination swelled up.
“… Could it be that the Korean Empire Army was defeated?”
“Then we are finished. No matter how many layers of magic defense you install, it’s nothing against the absolute.”
“Let’s not say anything stupid!”
“what? What an unlucky sound! I was just telling the truth!”
It was a real mayhem.
At first, they held on with their faith in Roman Dmitri, but as time passed, their faith was shaken.
However, other than raising the voice, there were no other problems.
At least until some message arrived from outside, most firmly believed that Roman Dmitri would solve the problem.
In fact, there was no other option in the first place.
Kang Min-a squatted down and covered her ears as she saw everyone talking in uneasiness.
‘… dad.’
Tears flowed.
that sound outside.
Dad will be there.
Kang Min-ah’s small face was covered with tears when she thought that her father was in danger every time the shelter rang.
She lost her mother when she was a child and can’t remember anything.
Kang Min-ho worked hard to get rid of his daughter’s shadow as much as possible, but he couldn’t escape the reality of a single-father family.
She didn’t have a mother that everyone had.
My friends have been asking questions, and since I realized the reality, I never mentioned my mom in front of my dad.
iron has gone
I had to listen.
She was not allowed to play the role of an immature daughter for her father who lives alone.
‘If my father also dies, I have no reason to live on. So please be safe. His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry. Just like you promised us, please protect my dad from the bad monsters.’
He clenched his fists tightly.
Seeing Kang Min-ah, her uncle hugged her.
Quaang!
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The ringing continued.
From a certain moment when people’s anxiety was gradually amplifying, the shock sound suddenly disappeared as if it had been washed away.
“… what?”
“Is it over?”
“Don’t move hastily! It could be that all of the defending forces have been wiped out!”
Confused eyes intertwined.
It was earlier than expected.
Since it was a catastrophe that was expected to last from at least 15 days to a month, the situation in which the noise disappeared in such a short time could not be hopeful. A feeling of dread crept in.
Maybe there were no more humans left who could cause ‘noise’, so even those who raised their voices at each other couldn’t carelessly say negative things.
It was then.
Chick Chick.
A strange noise was heard from the speaker.
Is it a win or a loss?
In a situation where the kimjang-gam was overflowing, I heard a familiar voice that brightened people’s faces.
[People of the Korean Empire. This is Roman Dmitri.]
“Ouch!”
“His Majesty the Emperor Roman Dmitry!”
People rolled their eyes.
Roman Dmitri!
Everyone listened.
[A while ago, I succeeded in dealing with the last absolute, Volfir. Borrowing this seat now, let me tell you clearly. The war is over. Humanity has won, and after cleaning up all remaining monsters, we will present ‘complete peace’ to the people.]
Took.
That was it.
As soon as the communication to inform the entire Korean Empire was cut off, people embraced each other and cheered.
“Live!”
“We live!”
“Long live His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry! hurray!”
Emotions flared up violently.
Then.
Kang Min-ah saw it.
Sigh.
Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The shelter door opened.
As people’s eyes focused for an instant, the sun shone down from the dark sky and saw a human figure.
“Are you guys all right?”
Minho Kang.
Upon his appearance, Kang Min-ah shook off his uncle’s hand and ran forward.
“dad!”
* * *
Took.
Communication was cut off.
Roman Dmitry, who announced the news of the victory throughout the Korean Empire, immediately moved out of the government building.
Large space.
In the space that was originally used as a plaza, countless people were lined up on the land that had become ruins.
Whiing.
The flag fluttered in the wind.
People dressed in colorful military uniforms proudly raised their national flags as if to show off to Roman Dmitri.
The flag was not alone. It is a pattern that is very unfamiliar to people in this life, but Roman Dmitri knew the countries that the flag meant very well.
Dmitri Cairo Hector Umberto and so on.
All Salamander countries have gathered.
The number was immeasurable, and familiar faces were visible at the head of each country.
‘… It’s been a long time.’
Dmitry.
Rodwell Dmitri was there.
The existence of a younger brother than himself became a middle-aged man, and even Lauren Dmitri, a young boy, showed clear signs of age.
Chris Kevin Felix and more. Emotions boiled over every time I checked his face.
The more they thought about the years they had lived, the more Roman Dmitri could not help but cherish this meeting.
In Cairo’s camp was Daniel Cairo.
Edwin Hector was in Hector’s camp.
Everyone gathered.
Swallowed emotions.
Now that the war is not completely over yet, there is no time to relax and get emotional.
but.
Still, there was something to be said.
stepped forward
Roman Dmitri opened his mouth, meeting each of the bloodshot eyes looking at him.
“When I made the decision to leave Dmitri, I didn’t give it a second thought. Even if it means sacrificing myself, I thought I needed a sense of responsibility as a ‘decider’. And now. The moment I met you, I was convinced that my choice was not wrong.”
went round and round
Even if I go back to that time.
Roman Dmitri would have made the same choice over and over again.
Not yet ready, he had to choose what was best for his people.
It was different now.
Now you are ready to accept the new reality.
“Thank you very much. You and I will never forget this moment.”
words spoken quietly.
That moment.
“Waaaaaaaaa!”
“Long live His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry! hurray!”
“Long live His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry! hurray!”
all of the people
The whole plaza was colored with enthusiastic cheers.
* * *
A few days after that.
The problem that threatened humanity was quickly resolved.
As the dimensional rift disappeared, monsters could no longer come over, and resolving the remaining monsters was not a problem.
Dmitry’s reinforcements. With their help, they wiped it all out. As each country solved its problems one after another, Dmitry Roman had to spend several days in a frenzy.
“The damage in Brazil is very serious. Aid is essential to repairing the damage.”
“The President of the United States has communicated his intention to actively help. They also suffered considerable damage, but it seems that they have finished discussing with each other that countries classified as great powers will take the lead.”
“Spain… .”
“Australia… .”
News from each country was concentrated.
Roman Dmitry.
He was the emperor of the Korean Empire and the head of the world government.
In my heart, I wanted to return to Dmitri right away, but I did not make the mistake of abandoning my duties to personal feelings.
No matter how special Dmitri is. The people of the Korean Empire and each country also believed in Roman Dmitri and prepared for this war. It was his duty to take responsibility for them to the end.
Time passed.
When the situation was sorted out to some extent, Roman Dmitri summoned Felix.
“Are you ready?”
“Yes, we have secured the dimensional passage to Dmitri. And, as advised by His Majesty the Emperor, the plan to reverse the dimensional rift that will occur due to the absence of the Absolute to unite the two dimensions is also proceeding smoothly. Of course, if the dimensional rift continues, there is a high probability that the dimension itself will have problems, but according to the results of research over the past 30 years, the aftereffects can be minimized by continuously channeling the magic of the World Tree into the dimensional rift.”
“Good job.”
“no.”
30 years of time.
Dmitry’s world has achieved a lot.
Not just preparing for a reunion with Roman Dmitri, but the whole world made an effort to solve the fundamental problem that Roman Dmitri had to leave.
When I first heard the report, I couldn’t even say thank you. I thought that I was not alone as a leader in the solution that I would not have known if I had judged and made a decision alone.
now.
It was time to leave for Dmitry.
I had mixed emotions.
Seeing that he couldn’t move his steps hastily, Felix asked cautiously.
“Are you concerned?”
“worry… . yes, you are right to be worried Recently, there are many things that make you feel very unfamiliar with unfamiliar emotions.”
We met eyes.
Facing Felix, Roman Dmitri laughed.
“But it doesn’t feel too bad.”
took a step
Dmitry.
It was time to return home.
* * *
It was truly a golden home.
Upon the return of Roman Dmitri, the capital of Dmitri was crowded with countless people without even a chance to set foot.
“Your Majesty, Emperor Roman Dmitry! I missed you!”
“Congratulations on your safe return!”
“You must never leave this place again!”
30 years ago.
Even when they succeeded in conquering the demon realm, people who were children grew older and brought their children to cheer fervently.
In their memory, Roman Dmitry was a hero. It was okay to lose his voice as it was, knowing that he had returned after solving the problems of mankind.
shouted from all sides.
Enthusiastic and raising his voice, he captured the figure of Roman Dmitri in his eyes.
‘It’s finally back.’
Roman Dmitry made his way through the crowd.
After a brief greeting with the people, he was taken by the completely different scenery of Dmitri from 30 years ago.
onetime.
Dmitry was also called the city of achromatic colors.
As iron mines and blacksmiths developed, workers roamed the streets, so the capital’s aristocrats frowned upon such a sight unfolding in the city.
It was different now. It has changed into a look suitable for the capital of the Dmitry Empire.
The old buildings were demolished, and magnificent buildings that fit the magical civilization were erected, strangely blending with the characteristics of Dmitri as the city of blacksmiths, giving off a rather strong impression.
I was thrilled.
Based on the well-laid foundation of Roman Dmitry, the appearance of flowers blooming in this way gave overflowing emotions.
But the feeling is short-lived.
I had a place to go right now.
There was a part where Roman Dmitri was frightened as he confirmed that 30 years had passed and that Dmitri had crossed the dimensional boundary.
Thirty years was enough time to age and put an end to life.
At first, I tried to confirm the fate of some people through Dmitri’s people, but I said I would check it myself because I thought I would want to go back to Dmitri immediately after hearing the truth.
I felt ominous.
I was nervous.
Only Roman Dmitrigan, who was not so anxious when dealing with Volfir, could not control his emotions now.
Dmitry escaped.
As the grass formed and a slightly quiet atmosphere unfolded, a very small sound could be heard from afar.
caang-
caang caang-
it was the sound of hitting steel.
My heart raced.
I hurried my steps.
And the moment you get out of the grass and reach a small house that exists alone.
found two
A man pounding steel and a woman drinking tea outside a building.
“… father and mother.”
called them
Two old people in that voice full of emotions.
Cracks appeared on the faces of Romero Dmitri and Rihanna Dmitri.
