The battle is over.

This world, an abominable curse deeply engraved into the backbone of the Illus Valle, was now about to come to an end.

Everything goes black stained.

It's disastrous, destructive, evil, not an exaggeration, even desperate, pure black.

Black light.

It smears the vision, smears the senses, smears the heavens and the earth, smears the world, smears everything black.

The power of the immense Demon King swallows not only this different space, but the entire Illus Valle. Rapidly. Acceleratively. Not long.

If the world were covered in black light, it would be synonymous with being engulfed in darkness.

The world, wrapped in the light of the Lion God, was now overshadowed by the darkness brought about by the Demon King.

The situation was reversed.

But there was no sense of despair.

The desperate darkness was, rather, filled with hope for the future.

The demon king's magic, instantly diffused all over the world, devours, melts and wipes away the divine authority of the lion god emperor, who was full of all of Illus Valle.

Greed everywhere.

Everywhere to bulimia, everywhere to laziness, everywhere to anger, everywhere to lust, everywhere to jealousy.

And more arrogantly than anything else.

The power of the Demon King and the Six Families did all they could in Setuna's control. That was eating up the divine authority of the lion god emperor from all over the world, eating down the giant body of a silver lion.

The darkness is clear.

When the black light that was dyeing the heavens and the earth disappeared, the sky of the street had so far spread overhead. Blue sky like it goes out everywhere. I don't see one cloud, and the sun shines far beyond. The wind was calm, and there was so much silence that it did not seem like a battlefield where the battle waged the fate of the world was taking place.

It's over.

Setuna dropped her gaze with certainty.

In front of me, Leongando is floating.

The hole worn in Leongand's chest was large and had a view behind him. It's penetrating. I don't see the kind of organ. That would be so. He is God. The flesh of Leongando, reincarnated as the Lion God Emperor and reborn as the King of the Gods, is very different from that of man and other creatures. For what is equal to God and more than that, organs and such are unnecessary.

Then why, when it comes to looking like a human being, it must be because it's more convenient. It may also be because you can change your appearance as much as you want depending on the situation.

The hole worn in his chest never showed any signs of healing. Impossible to restore even with the power of the Lion God Emperor means it is deadly. And countless cracks were spreading through its holes all over its body, fingertips of both hands, etc., beginning to collapse.

He was a lion god, thought to be immortal, absolutely invincible, but, after all, that didn't happen.

Such things do not exist in this world.

Even God, when he perishes, he perishes.

The Emperor of the Lion God, who inherited the power of the Holy King, is no exception.

Moreover, it can be taken for granted that he bathed heavily in the power of the Demon King, a fierce poison to God.

Natural ending.

Just because it's inevitable, okay.

If one thing is wrong, Setuna is the one who was doomed.

It was thanks to Chaos Bringer, to the six families, to his companions, to Quon and to Azmaria that Setuna did not have to perish. And thanks to one stranger.

Only with the support of an unknown man watching this battle around the world could Setsuna show strength far beyond its normal limits.

It was therefore possible to put an end to the fight against Leongando.

Any lack of one must have prevented us from finishing the fight in this way.

So there was no sense of full victory, etc.

"That's my hero..."

Leongand had a deep admiration for the words. Its body slowly descends to the ground as it gradually collapses.

Setsuna, too, went down to the ground to match it.

"Properly, you ended it..."

It looked like Leongand smiled happily. But that look didn't look like a smile because of the countless cracks running on his face. Cracks have begun to break down to each piece of hair.

"Your Majesty..."

"Are you still calling me that?"

Leongand, with some surprise, joy and pity, went.

"Totally... you are such a favorite... No, so, yes... I guess one gathers around you..."

Setsuna was still staring at Leongando to make sure Faria and the others were safe. The feeling augmented by the power of the Demon King makes us recognize and grasp the safety of Faria, Ruufa, Miliu, Rem, Sheila, Esq, Ragna, Urk, Elina, Eryl Alm, Ein, Mayuri God, Twa, Quon and Azmaria.

They all survived a battle in and out of the body of a silver lion.

That would be so.

There was Quon and he was under the protection of the Shield of Messiah.

There's no way I'm going to die.

That's why Setsuna was able to challenge Leongando with confidence.

"You weren't alone. Not like me."

When he stood down on the ground, Leongand's body was left only part of his upper body. My lower body was completely lost, and my arms are almost gone. The head was also gradually lost.

"What about me? After all, I was alone."

Leongand moaned, but Setuna shook her head.

"That's not true, Your Majesty. Dear Nage, Mr Algazard, Mr Allegria, because I have guided you about His Majesty..."

"I know. I know, Setuna."

Leongand said with a sad voice.

"I know that, too. But that is why I regret that I could not do anything to Nage or them. Made me go out with my stupid bad dreams...... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."

"Your Majesty..."

"Oh, even if I know. As much as it's not a question of apologizing, I understand. But I can't help it. Though I had things to think of and admire me, I had been imprisoned by dreams, drowned in power, and forgotten me"

I guess that's that lion god emperor.

The lion god emperor, while like Leongand, was fundamentally different from Leongand. Incarnation created by the power of the Holy King and various thoughts of Leongand. But it also makes no difference that it is Leongando. What the lion god emperor did was also what Leongand did. Don't deny it there.

"I guess I would have stayed that way until the end if your voice hadn't reached me then. Thanks."

That said, Leongand's head, which left only his mouth, was also completely lost.

"Thanks to you, I was finally able to wake up."

The voice was heard from the void.

If I looked up, there was a Leongando figure that became light. It was not Leongando, the lion god, but the last appearance of Leongando Ray-Gandhia, King of Gandhia, seen by Setuna.

Setuna couldn't stop herself from coming to tears just by looking at her. A phantom of the past that has no longer been lost forever. That is where the remnants of the glorious days lie.

"You are, after all, my dream hero"

"Your Majesty..."

"So I'm having a hard time doing any more favors..."

"What is it? Sire."

Setsuna was going to ask what Leongand's last favor would be. Whatever wish that was, I wanted it to come true for you.

In the end, Setsuna couldn't do anything for Leongand.

All I could do was shoot him.

Even though Leongand wanted it, as a minister, it was too painful a setup.

"This is the end of me. But it's not over yet."

"Yes?"

"You haven't stabbed him yet."

Leongand, naturally, said.

Setsuna thought, oh, and.

"... yes, you were"

"Stab me in the stop, cut off the culprit of this nightmare, and save Iles Valle. I asked you, Setsuna. You're the only one I can count on..."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Leave it to me."

As Setsuna nodded forcefully, Leongand looked, his eyes narrowed and he laughed.

And dissolved in the void and disappeared.
