302

Gooooooo-!

Pure white flames swirled around Runia.

Whoosh-

The flames burned Runia.

Runia bit her lips tightly.

The flames that had been with her all her life were now devouring her body.

‘This is… the Phoenix King… the flames of Yeonje.’

Runia made a pained expression as the flames seemed ready to consume her.

Kugugugugung-!

Erebos’s specter approached Runia.

Seeing this, Arga gritted his teeth when—

Step-

“Eiran…”

Eiran blocked Erebos’s path.

Armed in brilliant silver armor, Eiran was chanting a spell.

‘The magic formula that Leo taught me.’

It was fundamentally the same as the secret magic Berkia had mentioned.

But the details were different.

‘I could see Berkia’s own efforts… to manifest this magic.’

Berkia never managed to master star magic in the end.

The Elves being able to learn star magic was a story from long after Berkia had passed away.

That’s why Berkia.

Never completed the magic left behind by her master Luna.

But she never stopped struggling.

She pondered countless times and challenged countless times.

I could feel her endless efforts to not be ashamed before the great masters she had to follow.

‘She’s just like me.’

Eiran smiled.

Their personalities were different.

But she felt a strong kinship in the way they both struggled to chase after the people they admired.

Thinking this, Eiran chanted the magic.

If she failed, only death awaited.

But…

‘I will succeed.’

Gripping the Erquint that Berkia had given her, Eiran faced Erebos’s specter.

“Animus’s Sword.”

Star magic overflowing with fairy mana manifested.

The fairy’s power, full of life’s verdancy created by squeezing out all her mana, slashed through Erebos’s specter.

Gwoooooooo!

For the first time, a pained scream burst from Erebos’s specter.

Eiran, having squeezed out all her mana at once, collapsed with a thud on the spot.

The body of Erebos’s specter, which had quickly recovered from any attack, writhed.

The power of the origin magic Luna had left behind was strong enough to leave scars even on an immortal being.

Whoosh-!

Erebos’s specter, writhing in pain, soon raised his arm.

Eiran looked up at him and smiled faintly.

‘I… believe.’

The girl she had first met in her life, who she thought shone brilliantly.

Her friend who was like a hero from a fairy tale.

Eiran believed in her.

Kwagagagagak!

“Who are you touching with those filthy hands right now?”

Runia’s fierce voice could be heard.

Her pure white hair and beautiful red eyes blazed.

Whooosh-!

A white flame orb rose above Runia’s palm.

She controlled the pure white flames overflowing within her body.

The magic Luna had created to counter Erebos’s flames.

But the magic that had never been completed and should have disappeared into the back alleys of history bloomed in Runia’s hands.

“Yeonje.”

As Runia completed the magic, the pure white flames devoured the black flames.

Gwooooooooooo!

Erebos’s specter’s anguished scream echoed.

Whoosh-!

Clang-!

Finally, the specter disappeared without a trace.

Thud-

Runia collapsed on the spot.

Step- Step-

Katariou approached Runia and smiled faintly.

“How is it? The true Phoenix’s flame?”

“…It hurts.”

Runia gave an honest impression and collapsed as if fainting.

***

Kwagagagagagang-!

Arron, caught up in Erebos’s attack wrapped in black flames, flew an enormous distance and crashed into the city wall.

The power of Gias, enhanced by Erebos’s blessing, was far too strong.

Kwagagagagagagang-!

The city wall collapsed and Arron was buried under the rubble.

Groooooooo!

Gias roared toward the sky.

Seeing this, Depeser’s face turned pale.

Everyone on the walls of Gardstron looked up at the sky at the terrifying wave of dark magic.

A massive magic circle appeared in the void.

Along with it, black lightning struck down.

Pababababababak! Kwagagagang!

Dark magic of a thrilling scale.

Seeing the lightning strike down so intensely as if the world was on the verge of destruction, despair filled the eyes of many heroes.

At that moment…

Flash! Kwagagagagagagagang-!

A water shield that shot up to the sky blocked all the lightning.

Everyone’s gaze turned to Leo.

Urgh-!

The recoil from blocking the massive attack reached Leo.

-This is the limit! Any more damage than this will have to be borne by you, the contractor!

Erham shouted urgently.

Thud-!

Leo fell to his knees.

The mana of Gias, enhanced by Erebos’s power, was unimaginably strong.

Depeser was filled with despair as he looked at Leo’s face contorted with pain.

“Don’t make that expression.”

“Leo… sir?”

Leo put strength into his legs and stood up.

Still holding up his water shield.

Blocking the pouring lightning, Leo stood upright.

“All of you, don’t bow your heads.”

Leo looked at those who had desperately fought to block the legion’s assault on the city wall.

There were many familiar faces.

More than half of them had died in this battle.

Right now, even if he saved them, history wouldn’t change.

Even so, Leo didn’t lower his shield.

“Hold your heads up proudly. You are the heroes who protected this era.”

Heroes who couldn’t even leave their names in the Hero Record.

Countless heroic spirits who fell during the Age of Calamity.

But because of them, the current era exists.

Leo, who lived in this era… who knew this era better than anyone and lived in the current era, couldn’t tolerate seeing them despair and bow their heads.

“Before long, instead of that damn black sun… a bright sun will rise again.”

Leo spoke with strength as he looked at the gloomy dawn beginning to break in the sky.

“So don’t give up and let’s fight. I believe in you.”

Everyone stared blankly at Leo, who smiled the same smile as a certain wise dragon.

“Believe in the hero who gave you courage.”

Kwagagagagagang-!

A golden flash shot up through the fragments of the city wall.

The hero’s figure, wrapped in golden aura all over his body, was shining brightly like the sun.

Leo looked at Arron holding up Brave.

There was no longer any fear in those eyes.

The aura extending from Brave by the hero’s breath became enormous as if it would pierce through the sky.

Arron, gripping his golden sword anew, stepped on the air and charged toward the Giant King.

Groooooooooooo!

The Giant King let out a ferocious roar.

At that moment.

Whoosh-!

The calamitous flames symbolizing Erebos disappeared.

Reason returned to the ferocious Gias’s eyes.

And he widened his eyes as he looked at the golden blade that had reached right before him.

[Arrooooooooon!]

Clang-!

Brave and Gias’s sword clashed.

Slice-!

In an instant, Gias’s sword was cut through pathetically.

That wasn’t the end.

Thunk-!

Arron’s sword severed Gias’s waist in two.

[This is… impossible…!]

Gias’s face was filled with shock.

Pwhahahak-!

Golden flashes swirled.

Arron, swinging his sword thousands of times at invisible speed, instantly turned Gias into pieces of flesh.

Splatter-!

Pieces of blood and flesh poured down to the ground.

A fatal blow even for a legion commander with miraculous recovery power.

Gias’s mistake of being too deeply intoxicated by Erebos’s power.

The price was death.

At that moment…

Woooooooo!

The Giant King’s legion, realizing their commander’s death, began fleeing as if terrified.

“You did it.”

Leo burst into laughter, thinking of his friends who had defeated Erebos’s thought fragments.

[You have prevented the Giant King’s invasion.]

[[Divine Blacksmith] and [Hero] have been kept alive.]

[Dweno’s World: Mid-Chapter – Battle of Gardstron has been conquered.]

Seeing the message before his eyes, Leo collapsed into his seat.

“It’s over.”

***

“Heh, not bad. Seirun representative.”

“How about it? My appearance having learned Luna’s magic. Now you’ll have no choice but to admit that I’m superior to you, right?”

“Even so, I’m more amazing since I received direct instruction from Arron, you know?”

Runia and Arga were bickering with each other.

“Driana, are you okay?”

“…Cal, I have a favor to ask.”

“What is it? I’ll do anything I can.”

“…When we return, please be a model in a despairing pose. As a nude model, of course.”

“Seeing you say perverted things, you’re fine.”

Cal let out a hollow laugh.

“Eiran.”

“Yes, Berkia.”

“Who do I marry?”

“Um… well, Progenitor grandfather…”

Berkia was making Eiran uncomfortable by questioning her about the future.

That’s when it happened.

Whoooosh-!

Black flames shot up.

Everyone’s faces turned pale upon seeing it.

“It’s… reviving?”

“That’s impossible! We don’t have the strength to fight anymore…!”

‘The magic… was still incomplete.’

Runia gritted her teeth.

She had barely managed to activate the magic.

Runia’s magic was still incomplete.

As the party members’ faces were shrouded in darkness while looking at the black flames.

Flash-!

A white flash struck down toward Erebos’s flames.

Crackle! Crack!

Electric currents scattered in all directions.

“Pegasus…!”

Cal showed a surprised expression.

Everyone’s gaze turned to the gray-haired man riding Pegasus.

Swish-

The man who opened his eyes dismounted from Pegasus.

“What’s this situation about?”

The man looked around his surroundings.

“I felt Erebos’s power and rushed here first… Did you guys defeat Erebos?”

“Are you perhaps the Hero of the Beginning?”

Cal asked while gulping down dry saliva.

“Hero of the Beginning? What’s that supposed to be?”

The man made a puzzled expression.

Seeing such Kail, Eiran asked with a trembling voice.

“Are you… Kail-nim?”

“That’s right. It’s Master Kail.”

Berkia answered with a blunt voice.

“Why are you injured like that again?”

“Shouldn’t you praise a disciple who fought hard by saying well done?”

When Berkia pouted her lips and grumbled, Kail clicked his tongue.

“Fine, fine. You did well.”

Kail bluntly approached Berkia and ruffled her hair.

At that rough touch, Berkia’s face, which had shown a displeased expression, broke into a smile.

“I don’t know who you are, but you fought against Erebos, right?”

“Yes, yes!”

Kail smiled slightly while looking at the Hero Candidates who answered with tense expressions.

“That’s a relief. Having you all to entrust the future to.”

The Hero Candidates held their breath while looking at Kail, who smiled as if relieved.

Whoosh-!

Black flames surged up once again.

Swish-

Kail pointed his sword tip toward Erebos’s lingering thoughts with cold eyes.

Kwagagagagagak-!

A storm of gray aura swirled and lifted Erebos’s lingering thoughts high into the sky.

Gwoooooo!

The black flames flailed in the void.

Kail chanted a spell toward those black flames.

Woong-!

Seeing the magic circle activated in the void, Runia and Eiran realized it was Star Magic.

However, it was quite different from the Star Magic they knew.

‘Is this magic also Origin?’

It was when Runia was surprised.

“Innocent.”

As Kail completed the magic, a pure white flash shot up into the sky.

The black flames disappeared as if washed away.

Even the metal fragment that was the main body.

Seeing that sight, the party members’ jaws dropped.

“This person is… the Hero of the Beginning… Kail.”

Kail, with his sword slung over his shoulder, smiled.

“So what exactly is that? I’ve never been called by such a grand name as Hero of the Beginning.”

At that smile that somehow reminded them of Leo, the group widened their eyes.

At that moment.

[You have stopped the Giant King’s invasion.]

[[Divine Blacksmith] and [Hero] have been kept alive.]

[Dweno’s World: Mid-Chapter – Battle of Gardstron has been cleared.]

The world came to an end.
