Isaac

After the ceremony, Libria stood up and thanked both Knette and Libria and looked at him.

- Did Duke Pendleton have something to say?

At Bard's words, Libria takes a deep breath and recalls the end of her encounter with Duke Pendleton. At that time, I was angry with my father for the first time.

The agonizing memory of being greatly disappointed in the actions of Duke Pendleton, who had no choice but to make a helpless decision, the queen's purpose, the purpose of the hardened wave. It was even more painful because it was the last conversation, and it was the reason Isaac could never be forgiven.

And he said to himself, hurting words that would hurt his heart, with a sad look on his face, that he had to keep the first contract. Once a decision is made, there is no turning back.

“I, Duke Pendleton, object to the Supreme Committee's decision to open the fixed gate in accordance with its oath after the initial contract. ”

And even if Duke Chartered agrees, Duke Pendleton may disagree with the Supreme Court's decision because he never agreed to the Supreme Court's decision.

I heard it then, but now I see it. Risk your life to take back what you agreed to and why you said that. Safeguards in case you've been deceived and made with that much care.

As Isaac continued to refer to the ducal position, I realized that. The Emperor and Duke of Pendleton had no choice but to die to save the human race from the hands of the Queen and the hardened.

“…… ha! Now what do you mean? ”

The queen stares at Libria with a trembling voice. You look pale as if you were shocked.

- I acknowledge Duke Pendleton's authority. Any interaction with other dimensions determined by the High Commission under the original agreement shall be null and void.

Bared screams in the voice of a ghost torn queen.

“Don't be ridiculous! I think it's possible now! All your info is already public! Have you forgotten that time is not on your side? I may be able to do it now, but what will you do when it's time for the power of the human race to dominate you? Did you take extinction for granted? ”

The queen said Magellan was just watching from every corner of the screen.

- It is proposed as the legitimate successor acknowledged by His Majesty the Emperor, who has not yet inherited authority. The Supreme Commission has a bioweapon capable of exterminating human species. We also have a cure. So I propose that the neutral Duke of Pendleton keep the key to the warhead and the gate open. As long as we are anxious about each other's future, we have no choice but to keep peace under fear.

- The High Council agrees with the next Emperor's proposal. Does Pendleton agree with the Supreme Council's decision?

“… I agree. ”

“As representatives of Old One, who live and make atonement for eternity, those who wait for the end will honor the Supreme Council, the Empire and Pendleton's decision and will defend this decision until the end. ”

A young man of the Golden Mane clan and a woman of the Join clan bowed down to everyone and said,

“I'm like this……. ”

The queen, who could not find a moment to interfere with the story, took the tablet out of her arms, gripping it, but Rizzly, who was waiting forever, snatched it out of the queen's hand and broke it.

The queen, who was staring at the scene helplessly, looked at Isaac with an aged look for years.

“Haha. This was bait to catch me. ”

“I'm sure the queen would have a means of spreading the plague, even if she hadn't gone through the hands of the hardened. Even if it's not the way you want it to be, it's still payback to make the old world a living hell. ”

Isaac took the warhead and headed to the forbidden land, all to lure the queen here. As long as she wasn't sure, Isaac had to prevent the disaster from happening, the queen had to come to the forbidden land and find out for herself.

“But you didn't know that warheads wreak havoc? ”

“Doesn't matter. Once the nuke blows, the queen's form of vengeance will be destroyed, and we have to stop it.“ ”

“That's right. ”

After a long sigh of Isaac's words, the queen takes a stumbling step closer to Isaac.

“Give me a cigarette. ”

The queen says Isaac took a cigarette out of his arms, gave it to him, and lighted it. The queen takes in a smoke full of lungs and groans as if she were caught.

“Hehe. This reminds me of the first time I met you. ”

“... I see. ”

“Was I wrong? ”

“No, I didn't do anything wrong. I just failed. ”

“Is that so……. ”

- My queen, even if your cause fails, we will not forget your service. I will ensure your safety and peace.

The queen shakes her head with a bitter look at Barred's words.

“No, I'm tired. I'd like to take a break. ”

“ ……. ”

“You know the expedition will never give up on this place, right? Once the fixed gate is closed, it will periodically open again on forbidden land here. Negotiate on terms of trade. We'll manage in Central. Don't worry about the ceiling and the magic system. It won't be open anymore. And... thank you for everything. ”

- I will remember you until the end of time for every species in the world.

All the factions on the screen saluted the Queen in the best way possible. After everything you said, the queen looks back at Isaac with a kind expression.

“Can you finish it now? ”

At the queen's words, Isaac pulls his pistol out of his arms without saying a word. The queen draws Isaac close as she pulls the slide and loads the bullet.

Isaac raises his arms in front of him, bringing a gun around the queen's heart.

“Wait. I'll be right there. ”

“Hehe. Have a good rest. ”

Bang, bang!

With the gunshot, the twinkling queen's arm tightly embraces Isaac, and Isaac hugs the queen about to collapse powerlessly.

Isaac carefully lays her body on the ground for a moment before getting up.

“Now it's my turn. ”

“Isaac, you don't have to do that anymore. It's over.”

“Yes, sir. Now you can relax in a quiet place as you like. ”

“Isaac, I think you should reconsider... ”

Knette, Reisha and Rizley say to Isaac, but Isaac approaches Libya.

“You're not going to tell me you can't do it now, are you? I killed your father. Should we seek revenge?”

“ ……. ”

As Isaac approaches, Libya takes a step back without my knowledge.

“Isaac.”

Knet grabs Isaac's arm with a look that will shed a tear in no time. Isaac strokes Knette's head once and says to Libria,

“Here. Pick up your sword. It's so neat and neat. I can't help it, but I don't want to get sick. ”

“I…… I……. ”

Isaac grabs her by the shoulders as she makes a stuttering step backwards towards Libria.

“Let's get this over with, Libria. ”

At Isaac's words, Libria opens her eyes wide and swings her sword at Isaac with a screaming battle.

“ ……. ”

Linc!

Stop close to Isaac's neck, and the blade of Libria falls to the ground powerlessly. Libria howls, holding Isaac's collar in both hands.

“Why...... why are you calling my name now! Why me? ”

“…… sorry. ”

Isaac strokes Livilla's head, groaning. I didn't think it would be like this, but when I decided to water the world, I wanted Libya to be the one who would stop me.

So I harassed and tortured like a child. Only anger and vengeance. I knew I couldn't do it, but I wanted to die by the protagonist rather than by the extra who didn't know who.

‘Greed.'

After detaching Libya, Isaac pulls out the pistol he put in his chest and pulls out the magazine and checks the rest of the bullets.

“One last shot. That's pretty dramatic. ”

If I didn't have a pistol, I'd have to use a shotgun, but I wanted to avoid it because the result was quite unusual. You tuck the magazine back in, pull the slide, and look at Knet, Reisha and Libria.

Isaac, who was trying to lift his pistol because he wanted to stop fishing, was taken away by a small shadow that appeared unexpectedly.

“Hmm?"

Bang!

With a single shot, Isaac stumbles back and forth.

“Lyra!"

Isaac giggles and laughs, screaming like Libria.

“Hehe. That's exactly why people need to get insurance. ”

Knette, Leisha, and Libria rush to Isaac, who is squatting on their laps, and Rizzley takes his pistol from Ryra in a bewildered look.

“Lyra, why did you do this? ”

Rizley's outraged voice groans with a pale expression.

“I... avenge my family... but why would a defense coat...?" ”

Since the Queen Leia spoke with a confident attitude, she has been reacting. You don't like collateral damage? What about the conspiracy in Central and my parents who died at Isaac's hands?

As soon as Isaac pulled out his pistol, I didn't even know it was Rai who remembered the moment my father and mother died. I knew Isaac's defense coat would do the trick until I took the pistol and pulled the trigger.

Isaac, who had been pierced through his lungs, bled every time he coughed. Knette and Lacha press down on Isaac's gunshot wound as they gasp for air.

“Take care of it! ”

“This is forbidden land. ”

A forbidden land where magic cannot be used. Therapy is also not available.

“Here's the stable! ”

Rizzley hurriedly tossed the horseshoe he had for emergencies, and she began using the stanchions' mana to heal Isaac.

“Oh, no! Speeding too fast! ”

“Bring me more horseshoes! ”

Rizzley cries out in tears.

“I left all my supplies behind to speed things up. ”

In order to get to the forbidden land as soon as possible, I even threw out the food in order to reduce the weight of the aircraft. Then a Joint woman approaches Isaac.

“…… I'll ease your last pain. ”

“No! Don't!”

Despite Knett's cry, the woman began to sing with her hands held high above her chest, and Isaac's panting faintly, in tune with a gentle woman's song.

Isaac calls Lyra, standing dumbstruck, as she takes a deep breath.

“Come on, kid. ”

“I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do this! ”

I ran to Isaac in tears and stroked his forgiving head.

“Well done.”

“Yes?”

Isaac wipes Lyra's tears and asks.

“I kept my promise, didn't I? ”

“Yes, that's right. Isaac kept his promise. So…… so……. ”

“That's it. Remember, humans are selfish. Those who know the right to favor will want to bite you. Don't let this weaken you, Lyra. ”

After finishing his speech, Isaac looks at Rizley and hugs Ryra, who is in a commotion.

“I want to lie down. ”

With Isaac's muttering, Libria sits next to Isaac's head, leaning on his knees. He looks at Hilgeuch Libria and looks at Knette and Lacha hanging on their arms.

“Heheheh heh. A blessed life to die in a flower garden. ”

In response, she lies down next to Isaac on her palm pillow.

“Heh heh. You like having these beauties by your side? ”

“Ah. Good. ”

Knette's body shrinks and turns into a small teddy bear, digging into Isaac's side.

“…… Isaac. ”

Isaac raises his hand and strokes Knett's head.

“It's been fun. ”

“…… Me too. ”

“I'm getting sleepy. ”

Isaac's eyes meet Libria, who forcefully swallows her tears, and then they begin to close.

“Isaac.”

“Yes."

“Isaac.”

“... Yes. ”

“…… Isaac. ”

“ ……. ”
