I am the Monarch

------------------------------------

"So, the Latiose priest was a mule? Or any other bishops or priests? And if not, one of the faithful? '

Roan Lancefield frowns.

There was too little information.

But there was no way.

Tempestas' memories have flowed unilaterally.

He stood still and focused on what Pills and Cady were talking about.

"How to defeat the Holy See....... You mean the commander's baton?"

Pills pulls the baton out of his waist.

The golden tempestas sparkle and glow.

Cady nods slowly.

"This jewel at the end of the baton, Tempestas, ruined the midline."

A slightly angry voice.

But there was a strange hope on his face.

"But you can use Tempestas to find a middleman."

Phil nods.

"I never thought I'd be able to adjust time and space with these jewels."

I smiled bitterly at his mouth.

"If I'd known that sooner..."

I felt guilty in my eyes.

Cady shakes her head, covering his face.

"It's not too late. because time and space means nothing to Tempestas anyway."

A dark light of hope appeared on her face.

But...

"Cough. Cough."

Cady's whole body trembles with a deep cough.

Every time I coughed, a black blood clot popped out.

"Cady!"

Pills is startled and spills his Mana into Kady's body.

Unfortunately, it didn't do much good.

"Cough. Cough."

Cady hasn't had a cough for a while since.

"Hmm."

Eventually, she closed her eyes and fell on the bed.

"Ha. Ha."

The sound of breathing was shallow and poor.

I feel like I'm going to suffocate right now.

"Cady, without you, I..."

Phil wept again.

This time it wasn't tears of helplessness or guilt.

It was tears of despair and deep sadness that I had to let go of my loved one.

Cady struggles to open her eyes and smiles at Fields.

"I, for one, am a terrible curse. Right?"

At that, Roan frowns.

"Cursed"? "Cursed"? '

It was surprising to me that there was a curse so strong that Fils, who was the strongest of his time, or even the strongest of his history, could not help it.

'It's not a shaman's curse.'

Although Cady looked into Tempestas' memories, no magic energy and symptoms could be felt anywhere in his eyes or color.

"I'm sorry. I can't do anything for you..."

Phil squeezes Cady's hand.

Black blood soaked my palms.

Cady shakes her head.

"Now come out and give it to everyone but me. You can do this."

Her eyes are filled with sad light.

"The first emperor to unify the continent, who should have been a great monarch, your friend......."

I felt a slight tremor in my voice.

"Awaken the Emperor Roan de Amaranth."

Boom.

Roan is once again in great shock.

The first emperor to unify the continent? Emperor Roan de Amaranth? '

I feel like I'm falling apart in my head.

Of course, I heard from Kalian that it wasn't the first time he became a monarch.

But I didn't expect it to be the first emperor to unify the continent.

Above all.

Amaranth?

It was also surprising that he used the name Amaranth at that time.

"The Emperor will be able to save the middleman by stopping that disgusting and vile man. If it were him..."

When the horse goes on like that.

"Cough! Cough!"

Another deep cough started.

"Cady......."

Phil tries to raise Mana again.

Cady shakes her head with a smile.

"It's okay. I'm fine. I care about Mana."

She looks him straight in the eyes.

"You. We've always talked about him."

His voice was too small and powerless.

"When he lost his life on the battlefield because of the terminal spear, you said he wasn't going to die like this, he was going to do something bigger."

Phil nods quietly.

"He was. He wasn't going to die like that."

He took a deep breath.

"If I had cared a little more, I could have done a much bigger thing......."

At that, Cady shakes her head.

"It wouldn't have worked. They wouldn't just be watching him win."

"Phew."

Phil takes another deep breath.

It was irrefutable.

In practice, he often disobeyed orders and instructions.

"Contrary to my instructions, I went to the wrong place, and when I was on the wrong mission, I just thought there was a confusion in the command system….."

In retrospect, it was all because of their horseshoes.

"Such a thing......."

Roan, who was listening to the story, also looked surprised.

I thought things were too complicated compared to trying.

Every supervisor I met intercepted my specialty and grabbed an unknown pod to demote or demote my rank.

In the meantime, if it is a miracle that you even made it to the commander of the 1st Legion Spearman Squad called the elite Legion,

'Final battle. That was a hard order to understand.'

Thanks to you, I was struck by an iron sword and lost my life.

'This was all someone's joke.......'

When I thought about it.

"Cough!"

Cady threw up a big cough.

A lump of black blood protrudes out again with a cough.

Otherwise, the white face turned blue without any blood.

The time has finally come to say goodbye to the world and Pills.

"Cough. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry that I left you behind in this hell first."

I was filled with desperate emotions.

"Cady."

Phil grabs Cady's hand tight.

He never seems to leave.

Cady gently strokes his face, then slowly closes her eyes.

"Wake him up......."

His voice was very small.

"The world......."

At the same time, I felt a deep desire.

"Save it."

That was the last thing she said to the world.

"Cady!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Phil looks down and wails.

He knew he was going to die.

He also knew that there was no way to survive after he was cursed.

I prepared my mind over the course of several days and decades.

But that preparation had no use for Cady's death.

"Ugh."

Tears poured out.

Spirits spill out.

I felt like my breath was killing me.

Then.

Kuang!

The door to the Abyss is roughly opened.

The soldier who reported the fall of the Estia Empire revealed himself.

"Commander! It's them! They've already revealed themselves!"

Urgent voice.

A dark shadow shines out of the wide open entrance.

"Town."

Phil grips his teeth.

I clenched my fist.

"Cady."

He nods, looking quietly at Cady on the bed.

"Your will......."

Pills grips the commander's baton tightly.

"I'll take it for sure."

He stepped up.

Tears were still flowing in both eyes.

But I had the strength to take one step at a time.

Phil takes a deep breath and leaves the hut.

Moment.

Aaaaahhhh!

The surrounding landscape has changed with the wind.

The landscape of memory changed as Tempestas and Fields came out of their huts.

"Ah......."

Roan blows a low sigh.

"Hell."

The landscape and scenery that unfolded before me reminded me of hell.

Black skies instead of blue skies, red blood instead of clear rivers, and brutal corpses instead of mountains of green.

"Aaahhhh!"

"Die! Demons!"

"Die!"

Several knights and soldiers scream and wield their weapons.

'Are they the Medium Front Guards…..'

Roan shakes his head in disdain.

It was like a lantern in front of the wind.

"Ahhhh!"

Screams erupt from everywhere.

And...

"......."

Suddenly, silence settled.

Roan stands next to Fields and looks around.

There was none.

There was no one.

The only human who survived was Phil, who stood firm on his feet.

A sickening and bitter gust of wind blew through my eyes.

It was Fields who broke the silence.

"You think it's the end, right?"

He opened his eyes.

You scream at the raging wind as if it were burning itself.

"You're welcome! We're just getting started!"

Phil grips his teeth.

"In order to use Tempestas' power to revive Roan, I must pour out my life along with all of my mana."

Suddenly, it reminds me of Roan, who died a long time ago.

My eyes dared to bite.

As Roan watched, he could see the change.

"Roan."

Low call.

"Fields, I'm here!"

Roan replies in a voice that he doesn't even know is there.

Unfortunately, Phil couldn't hear it.

But...

"I remember the time I fought with you."

"So am I! You're still in the field with me!"

Roan continues to shout at you.

Pills' eyes sparkle and glow.

"I've been alone in the battlefield since your death."

I smiled bitterly.

"It was a lonely, boring fight."

His voice was filled with deep regret.

"Ah......."

Roan lets out a long sigh.

Phil grins.

"I can't see you here, I can't fight with you..."

He pushes the baton forward.

"I'll be there with you once more."

Manga's entire body is sucked into Commander Tao's baton, precisely towards Tempestas.

Pa!

A beam of light emanates from Tempestas.

"Roan!"

Phil's voice gradually grows louder.

Along with him, an ugly and disgusting wind gradually raged.

"Fields......."

Roan reaches out.

Unfortunately, I couldn't see anything because it didn't have a shape.

I couldn't even touch her.

A red tornado blows towards Pills through the black sky.

Shhhhhhhhh!

A terrible chest struck my ear.

Phil stares at the red blizzard with his eyes wide open.

My whole body trembled.

"Don't be afraid. Phil, I'm right in front of you."

Roan steps forward and clenches his fist.

I knew I couldn't protect her, but I wanted to.

Coincidence?

"I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid to die."

Phil's voice falls behind Roan's back.

"Because you'll save the world."

It was like a message to Roan himself.

The red blizzard is almost upon us.

Pills shouts with his baton held high above his head.

"Roan! Now awaken from eternal sleep!"

At the same time.

Paaaahhhhhh!

A golden glow emanates from Tempestas.

The golden light consumes the red wind and illuminates the whole world.

"Ah......."

Roan closes his eyes with an unknown coziness.

And when I opened my eyes again, the landscape was different.

* * *

"We're ready."

The brown conquered men bowed their heads politely.

A middle-aged man who is deeply troubled by everyone's greetings.

His face looked very familiar without knowing where it was.

Roan quickly searches the area.

Is this Tempestas' memory, too? '

The space was quite spacious.

No, it was huge.

'It looks like a cave.......'

The rocky rocks run along the ceiling.

'If Tempestas' memory is there is a Commander-in-Chief's staff somewhere....... '

Roan looks around again for the baton.

At that moment, his gaze stopped.

"Altar"?

Roan frowns.

In the center of the large space is an altar of solid stone, carved and stacked.

The problem is that the altar is very familiar.

The devastated altar in Blackburn? '

Altars found in the Grain Mountains of Blackburn were hard to recognize due to their fragmentation, but they clearly remembered the patterns that were etched into each broken stone.

Why is the altar here? '

Roan frowns.

What makes him even more curious.

Why is Tempestas stuck in the middle of the altar? '

It was the commander's rod, placed directly in the center of the altar.

Tempestas at the end of the baton glow beautifully in the dark.

Roan slowly shifts his body and climbs up onto the altar.

As I got closer to Tempestas, the scenery around me became clearer.

"Tempestas is finally in my hands."

A strange middle-aged man walked up onto the altar.

He looks down at the men under the altar with an impressive look.

"Well done."

With a low voice, the men tremble and kneel.

"It's an honor to be of assistance."

"I would give my life for the Church."

Even my voice trembled.

At that time, the last man clasped his head and shouted in a loud voice.

"Holy Father Latio! Please begin the ritual!"

Moment.

"Latio!"

Roan opens his eyes and screams.

A middle-aged guy who looks vaguely familiar.

He certainly had many areas similar to those of Latio in his youth, or the Latios he had just met.

So it's really Latio that's trying to destroy the middleman? '

A cool energy formed behind my back.

My heart was beating fast.

Then one question filled my head.

"Was Latio back when I met him?"

If it was Latio back in the day.

"Why did you let me live?"

The question continued, biting my tail.
