The dark abyss returns you to this world.

It was a very disturbing word.

Almark doesn't know exactly what the original darkness, the dark abyss, is, which is a high-dimensional existence.

Even though it was said that it was equal to God, it didn't happen right now.

And the gods of the north, which are known unto Almark, shall not be seen before the people of the north.

In exchange for his life, Hardica, the god of heroes, shines a universal light on the world.

The noble goddess Rubenik stays at the end of the northernmost sky and keeps pointing the way to the people.

Though I did feel the presence of God, it was not visible to me like a parent, friend, or enemy.

Of course, no one has ever actually met the gods.

The gods are beyond the reach of the heavens and humans.

Therefore, even if they say to bring God back to the world, Almark has a strong feeling of doing something stupid.

Almark would have laughed before he went to college.

But now that I stood at the entrance of the magician's world and glimpsed one end of profound magic, it could not be described as a ridiculous dream story.

If they were called ancient great magicians, they might be able to do that.

I was able to think so.

But still, it is.

Earlier, in the conversation of the battles of the ancient sorcerers, did Yologue not say that if you of the dark abyss appeared in the world, it would mean the end of the world?

Once the world is destroyed, there will no longer be any sense of desire or desire.

Does anyone really intend to plan such a thing?

Almark looked back at the yolog.

"Are you thinking such bullshit, dark magicians?"

"I'm not sure that's the case."

Yologue shook his head.

"But it's also true that some of them are making moves that I think they are."

"Is this about him?"

Lynnull, maybe.

Yologue narrowed his eyes when he saw Almark say so with a reluctant face.

"It is not clear whether the purpose of the Rhinel is there. But some are moving with a clearer will than he is. The only dark magician who appeared before you was Rhinell, but there are dozens of other dark magicians in the world besides him."

"How many?"

Almark imagined dozens of black robe sorcerers squatting in the darkness of the night to shine their eyes.

From their bodies, darkness is darker than the darkness of night, and eventually the shadow of one great man is formed.

The world is wide.

"I know you were in danger on your summer vacation."

Yologue said.

"By the time you came back, I had just been absent on another matter, but I had heard it from another side. It was Miletos' winter mansion... That's when the gate opened a little bit."

"... yes"

Instead of Wendy, who didn't answer, Almark answered.

"Even then, Wendy's body was so full of magic... that we were saved."

I see.

Yologue nodded.

"I have heard that those who have been chosen as' gates' can open the gates incompletely when they are forced to do so to protect themselves."

To protect myself.

I wonder if so.

Wendy didn't wave magic to protect herself back then. Rather, I was creating a double of servants with enough momentum that I could do anything about myself.

Besides...

Almark asked Yologue.

"But Wendy's visit to the winter mansion during the summer vacation was the result of a number of coincidences. Me and Morgan went there."

Almark chose his words carefully.

Wendy thinks the guards killed the mercenaries who attacked her.

Don't make Wendy feel any more upset by saying inappropriate things.

"But the mercenaries were really ordered to take Wendy's life. Then instead of putting Wendy's life at risk, he could have really killed her...."

"You're right."

Yologue nodded.

"I see the winter mansion as something different from Rhinel's. Perhaps to the other party....."

The blue eyes of the yolog glowed unexpectedly.

"Somewhat visible"

Almark remembers the old man in Moonshadow Street with his blue eyes.

The one who sees ahead.

Does that mean star reading like the dean or that old man?

Or do you have another ability?

And the enemy was calculated until Almark and Morgen went to the Winter Mansion to defend Wendy and defeat the mercenaries north of Gizalte?

Along with that, Almark remembered.

When Morgan and the two of us came to the dean's office to accidentally pay for the white carriage to Miletos, which has a winter mansion.

Yologue didn't ask for details and gave me money that was too big for my child to have.

I thought you knew about that, too.

I thought you were looking forward to it with these blue eyes.

That Almark and Morgan are indispensable pieces to save Wendy's life.

Are you scared?

In Yologue's words, Almark returned to me.

Yolog was staring at Wendy.

Almark looks next to him and loses his word.

Wendy's cheeks were crying.

"Are you afraid of the size of what you carry?"

Yologue asked gently.

Wendy doesn't answer.

Your cheeks are just crying.

Underneath Almark's hand, I found Wendy's hard grip more powerful.

I couldn't find a word for Almark either.

Wendy remained silent and wept for a while.

How long have I been doing that?

Wendy finally shook her head small, saying no.

"I'm not scared."

Wendy said.

"But this tear is different."

Wendy did not wipe her tears and looked back at Yolog's face.

"I remember."

It was not fear or fear that came to mind.

Anger.

Quiet but deep anger.

About the people who lost their lives because of that.

Yolog opens his eyes.

I saw Wendy's face as well as Almark.

The guards who lost their lives in the winter mansion.

A servant girl Wendy once admired with her sister because she lost her life trying to replace Wendy.

Wendy still carries their lives.

Wendy knew what those who took their lives were for.

"They tried."

Wendy said.

"Whether or not I am really the 'gate'. By putting my life at risk and shaking my soul, you tried to open the 'gate'."

I didn't answer the yolog.

But the harsh expression told Wendy that Wendy was right.

"I don't know."

Wendy's voice trembled.

"You sacrificed yourself for that."

Wendy's cheeks were covered with fresh tears.

All Almark could do was put his strength into Wendy's hands, which trembled on his lap.
