Turn back time, three days after the Battle of the Eastern Continent.

When Eldora opened her eyes, it was the landscape of the green forest that entered her gaze. It's so blurry that you can't see it even an inch in front of the water, but according to my instinct, I get a little bit of focus every time I blink.

My awakened ear heard a murmuring noise in my son-in-law, and at the same time I came across a violent dizziness that seemed to break my head.

“Ugh... ”

Eldora frowns, but tries to move her body somehow. However, only dry groaning flowed out, and I felt no strength in my whole body.

No, I have to say I'm numb. It seemed like he was tossing and turning, but he didn't even know he was moving. Eventually, I closed my eyes again.

How long has it been?

When the dizziness that seemed to be tearing in the forehead calmed down, and my senses returned a little bit.

During that time, Eldora raises her questions one by one.

Where is this place?

Where are my colleagues?

What happened to the war?

And how you survived.

Either situation is uncertain. Eldora gently opens her eyes and gropes the ground like a habit. However, Excalibur struggled to raise an upper body because he was not caught.

It was all over the forest, but the surroundings were chaotic. Moreover, the stench of the stench was trembling to the point of stabbing his nose.

Eldora realized she wasn't the only one here. And under the dark sky, the users who were scattered and moaning began to be gradually trampled down.

The first thing that caught my eye was a man who was dead and restless. What's unusual is that the abdomen is severed in bulk. The bleeding stopped as if healed, but the organs were clearly visible.

Next to him, there was a woman who covered her eyes with one hand and was unyielding. Stirring the air with your remaining hands seems to be the sight of a blind man.

The moment I was staring at Eldo, I felt suffocated.

However, the reality was still just the tip of the iceberg. Because not just that one place, the whole neighborhood was similar. The injured user is drooling with elongated depression, but the healthy user looks away with an aggressive face.

After a while, Eldora's eyes suddenly opened with fury.

A familiar manhood sits at one side of the forest, drawn by the moonlight of Johann. I've seen it for years, and I can't be sure who it is. It was Edward, the Knight of Justice.

But I can't see either arm. To be more precise, it's a clean cut from the left shoulder.

“Ed...? ”

Eldora is strangled. Do they want to believe that the sight in front of them is a dream? I closed my eyes, then opened them, then closed them again and then opened them. However, reality does not change.

I don't know what's going on yet, but there is something I want you to know. Even if we do not listen, the end of the war remains unpredictable due to the depressing atmosphere.

I lost.

The southern continent was defeated in a war.

The moment I thought about it, Eldora sensed unbearable despair and guilt.

Natalie, whose limbs were torn apart, trampled mercilessly by a sudden horde of knights, etc.

The memories I don't want to think about touch my brain. If I had the strength to cry, I wanted to cry.

“Oh, are you awake? ”

At that time, a slight nudge came from a distance. A sturdy devil with horns on his head walks by. Astarot.

“I didn't think so, but did you really live? Hey, isn't that guy really the God of Death for nothing? ”

I don't know what you're talking about. However, as Astarot approached, Eldora suddenly felt that her anger was overwhelming. I felt like I was being ridiculed by the laughter of walking boldly.

“So how does it feel to be reborn... What are you doing? ”

The relaxed voice quickly became cloudy. Where did that power come from? Eldora, who was still, ran like hell and twisted her neck.

“How dare you... ”

Immediately, the eyes of Astarot flicker with a fiery flame.

“Why not?”

But Eldora pushed him harder and lifted him up.

“Why?”

The moment you hear another loud scream, Astarot's eyes slowly slump.

“You had soldiers! You said there were more than 10,000 Horse Warriors! Then why didn't you help me? ”

Eldora is in trouble with her male tears.

“Huh, well…. ”

Astarot breathes his senseless breath.

“They had other things to do. Anyway, why don't you pull yourself together? ”

“What?"

“Don't stare. You're not the only ones who got hurt. Do you have any idea what we've been through running away with you who almost died? ”

“Almost…? Was he...?"

It was that moment.

“! ”

Eldora, who had unknowingly followed me, was suddenly surprised and said, "Hic!” I had hiccups.

Pussy!

Then, as if your legs were loosened, you crush the buttocks.

“Hey? Hey! What's the matter?"

The shout of Astarot continues. However, Eldora's reaction, instead of crossing her hands and grasping her arms tightly, immediately began to grope like a thorn bush. A confused face suddenly gives off a powerful feeling of horror.

Because I just remembered.

The final moments of the battlefield you remember.

And most of all, a man from the North who used to play with his servants all the time.

He was a never-before-seen opponent. Power is similar, sword is not pushed, and speed is much faster than self. Especially when I think about it now, I feel like Excalibur is shrinking every time I hit a knife.

Yeah, that was a perfect turn. At first, Natalie's death drove her mad, but she never took control. I swung my sword just in time and pushed it overwhelmingly throughout the battle.

‘El Doradooooooooo! ’

That's all. He smashed his life's power with a burning sword and was treated like a toy.

The humiliation I prayed for forgiveness for is not forgotten from the moment I remembered that my equipment was forcibly peeled off.

Eventually, I was chased away without revenge. Since becoming a user, it was an unbearable humiliation and wound for Eldora, who had always played the jackpot.

Moreover, with the responsibility and guilt that I had felt before, it was not hard to rush it just before the shovel. She may look strong on the outside, but she was an unfailing girl.

“Hic…! Hic…!"

The clearer the memory, the more intense the eyes are, and the more intense the hiccups are. Her eyes are so large that they can't be enlarged anymore, and her gaping mouth is drooping. I can see the psychopath trapped in the resemblance ward with his whole body curled up and trembling in fear.

The moment I remembered the horrific feeling of being so naked and harassed, and then finally stabbed in the back, and then the internal blast.

“Shhhhh!"

Eldora pulls the hair apart with both hands. It was then.

“Eldora?”

The sound of rushing rushes overlaps with the quiet voice. Surprisingly, Eldora's condition, which was just before the explosion, stops, and the tremor subsides quickly.

“Mel…. Melinus...?”

Eldora mutters in a wet voice.

A moment later, the old man stretched out his white beard and sighed.

“You're awake. I'm really, really glad. ”

“Melinus.... Melinus...!"

As Eldora extends her arms like a child seeking her parents, Melinus gently squeezes them together. Suddenly, the cold cheeks start to flow with warm tears. You just don't seem to notice.

“I, because of me... ”

“No, it's not. It was never Eldora's fault. If it's wrong, it's all our fault. ”

“But…. I, I... ”

“I'm fine. Eldora? Don't think about anything right now. Now, this way... ”

Melinus paces somewhere, building up the faint Eldora. Astarot can't take his eyes off the woman who's getting closer.

Of course, there is no euphemism to feel sorry for the Great Devil. I'm just interested to see the big tears that passed away earlier and the dead eyes.

“Humans are more and more curious. ”

At that moment, someone was single with a clear voice.

Astaroth looks around the blemish, then shrugs at Tanatos, who just came out.

“Well, yes…. Yo, you only lost once, and you ruined it like that. It's pathetic.”

“Let's cut the clumsiness.... In any case, yes. You chose the wrong ally, didn't you? I should have done it with him. Well, who did you say it was? ”

“Soo-hyun Kim. If we could do it, we would have teamed up with him. Funny thing about him is he wants to take us out and deal with angels. Tsk.”

“Kick!”

As Astarot kicks his tongue as he sets his horse straight, Tanatos laughs out loud. He giggles for a long time, then opens his mouth with all his might.

“What are you going to do now, anyway? ”

“Huh?"

“Huh? No. Do you realize how serious this is? ”

“ ……. ”

“The prophecy of that family.... I don't know. Anyway, I only found three out of six. You're halfway out of six. Not to mention the Demon Monarch. And the southern continent...... And as you can see... ”

“Well, I don't know. ”

Thanatos spills beside you in a simple, dull voice. Astarot bows head with arms outstretched.

“You seem pretty relaxed about that. Why don't you just spill it? ”

“I said I don't know. Lucifer was the one who knew the plan best. I didn't think I'd get beat up, but I can't do it without him. We just have to wait.”

“Hehe. Ah! Last time I heard, they told me to clear a path. Are you waiting for that? ”

“Ahh... That's it. We're just waiting. Maybe now... ”

Astarot raises his head slightly and looks up at the sky.

“No, soon. ”

After a short pause, one jaw relaxes.

Jiaying!

A surprisingly cool breeze blows.

Later, the pupils of the 'Demon of Fury’ are torn horizontally, and the black eyes emit a ferocious light.

In that state, Astarot speaks.

“Satan will come. ”

Sorry about that.

First of all, the illustration was completed in the middle of the morning.

But then we had an unexpected problem.

The most accessible space for readers is posted on the notice.

Whenever you post something odd, the illustration breaks, or it gets pretty blurry.

The illustrator has changed the file several times and changed its size, but the original clarity is not coming back.

If you have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue, please comment._(__)_

Oh, this illustration came out really pretty... T
