The war is over.

No, you should say that you've only taken one step at the end of a 15-year user activity on the Hole Plane.

The important thing is that it is too early to think of it as a period or an end. Thoughts crossed my mind at the same time, but I ordered that the battlefield be cleared first.

The Horse Legion has been cleaned up by Suna, and I have dealt with the users of the West and South continents myself.

More than that, I focused on examining the remains of the great devil. I repeatedly confirm the disappearance of Lyris, Satan and Astarot, while also confirming the whereabouts of the invisible Asmodeus. It turned out that Asmodeus ran into Suna while cleaning the air.

Eldora stops crying and is silent. I saw her collapse and was confused, so I decided to cut her throat and take her captive. Where did you hear you were resurrected? Because Vivian insisted on trying it for research purposes.

Eldora, who lived as a shard of death after she was extinct, must die soon. But I told him to just do what he wanted. Well, I can't say it's not worth it.

After a thorough check until the disappearance of Tanatos, you finally turn your gaze to the spiritual corps. I remembered the promise I had made to them in the mountains where the dragons used to sleep.

After thanking them for their light greetings and cooperation in rescue, I explained what I knew about Helena. What kind of curse did Magna Carta cast after the end of the last war, and what kind of choice did Helena make? Of course, I did not forget what happened after the dragon fell asleep mountain range.

“Hmm…. So that's why Helena... ”

After a series of descriptions, the man's soul nods its head in a serious face. The complexity of the expression was more powerful than the sophistication. I looked at the man for a moment and carefully said.

“If you'd like, I can confront you here. ”

“Yes? But then he vanished... ”

“It wasn't completely extinct. It's actually a food that restores the power of existence. I heard you survived hell with Magna Carta. ”

“Hell…. ”

Immediately, the light of conflict appeared on the man's face. I quietly waited for the man's decision. I can ask Suna to meet me if I really want to.

“No.”

However.

“I appreciate the offer, but I refuse. ”

Surprisingly, the man firmly refused.

“The awkwardness of being the one who heard the curse and the heart for man. And the complicated feeling of hearing about us who were happy to win the war.... I'm not saying I don't understand it. ”

There was still bitterness in the voices I heard.

“But maybe if it were me, I'd tell you the truth without a scratch. Not only me, but all my colleagues, they would have turned to each other for directions. because we're fighting for our lives together. ”

“I see.”

“Yes. Whatever the circumstances, Helena's reform was clearly wrong. So even if we understand it, we can't forgive it. Though falling into hell may be the way of atonement. ”

“ ……. ”

I can't even say that I was revived as Suna's toy. When he smiled bitterly, the man smiled beautifully.

“Ah…. Well, I'm not much of a fan either. Haha. You're disappointed, right? ”

“No, I understand. ”

I shake my head and take a quiet step back. Then the man's eyes twisted. You understand what that means.

“Then…. ”

“Thanks again for saving my life. ”

“I didn't do much. Rather, I'm happy to return the favor a little. ”

“And…. Thank you so much for your time. ”

At that moment, a shimmering light struck the man's face. However, I kept smiling and opened my mouth quietly.

“Say that. ”

A slightly depressing voice.

“Actually... Maybe he wanted to hear a good word about it. A long time ago.”

It was that moment.

The man slowly looks up at the sky and closes his eyes. He looked like he had told me something, so I didn't think of anything except that I had to watch quietly.

And after a while.

Suddenly, I thought the sunlight was getting more intense.

“Ah!”

With Ansol's resilience, the man's soul begins to fade. Like a storm, white particles scatter abruptly.

- Thank you...

The sparkling powder slowly rises to heaven, leaving behind one last word. Now that everything that was tied to this world is gone, maybe it's back to where it was supposed to be.

“What a sight. ”

The brother who was watching next to me suddenly muttered. I nodded my head and empathized. It was like the earth was snowing into the sky.

“To a good place.... You must have left...?”

Ansol, who was looking at me with his eyes wide open, said with a slightly wet voice. I stroked Ansol's head gently instead of answering.

So the whole world sparkles with light.

“I think we'd better get going, too. ”

My brother looked at me with a warm face.

“... Yes. ”

I threw a pointless zero-code in my hand and grabbed it hard. And I said,

“Let's go back.”

We still have work to do. Now that I have this kind of power, I don't know if I'll be able to resist.

I glanced back at the temple of promise and turned without hesitation.

“ ……. ”

First of all, I want to go back.

Where it belongs.

*

One minute to get back. No, it took less than ten seconds. As soon as the portal exited, there was a source of activated warp gate, and the landscape of Atlanta was visible.

Everything was as it was.

The bustling Warp Gate, the stinking streets, the soaring White Shrine, and the Mercenary Castle.

As soon as I saw the city, I was suddenly relaxed at once. As I relax, the tiredness that had been repressed pours in like tidal wave.

I couldn't quite figure out what to do right now.

But the exhausted man said, "I've made a point of wanting to rest." It wasn't particularly fatal, but it consumed health while it was being held, and it immediately afterwards fought. No matter how powerful a god is, a human body that uses one needs rest.

In fact, I felt a little irresponsible as the person who did this, but everyone, including my brother, understood my request. There were many things I wanted to say or say, but I felt like taking a step back. So was I, but for now it was more important to rest and calm down.

As a result, I went straight to the Mercenary Castle, and fell asleep without a moment to look at the offices I'd seen in a long time.

And...

Knock, knock.

How much time has passed.

When I opened my eyes.

“ ……. ”

The surrounding landscape is filled with a silent darkness.

Knock, knock.

I hear another sound. It was a knock without even checking.

The only reason I think it's sophisticated is because it was a faint sound that I would not know unless I listened carefully.

I stared at the door dazed and gave myself strength like a wet cotton ball. At the same time, I felt the soft sensation of the bed, and I felt dizziness in my head. My eyesight became more focused as well. It's not so bad to slowly wake up.

When I came back, the sun was in the sky. It is probably around noon, but I can't assume that Hannah Day, or twice that, has fallen asleep. Then it's most likely dawn after dark.

Knock, knock.

All right, I've had enough sleep. I don't know who this ambitious dawn is, but let's ask them to come in.

It was a moment when I thought that and forcibly pulled myself off the bed.

Sweet.

Suddenly, I heard the door open quietly. I turned my eyes slightly, and a dark shadow in a white robe was coming in. It was still a blurry vision, but I could see that it was a woman with long, raw hair.

Don't they know I'm awake? The woman comes close without hesitation, killing the sound of her feet. The hot air and aromatic flesh flowed through my body, whether I just bathed.

It was then.

“Mercenary Road…? ”

I was awake.

In fact, Kim Soo-hyun's face was requested for correction just before completion.

The original version was a shady, slightly angry face, and an older looking face.

But I insisted on a cold concept, and I asked for facial reconstruction, and the impression changed dramatically.

The reader's reaction was that he just regretted going as the illustrator had painted it. ^ ^;

Anyway, episode one is three or four.

I'll try harder.
