356

 

Leo extended his hand.

 

Then the broken Cometes floated in the void.

 

Cometes, touched by Leo’s hand, emitted a brilliant light and regained its original form.

 

Whoosh—!

 

That wasn’t all.

 

Brilliant light burst forth with Leo at the center.

 

Along with it, the burning world was reconstructed.

 

Literally a miracle.

 

The moment Leo affirmed Seirun.

 

Everything was restored to its original state.

 

Powerful mana swirled from Cometes gripped in Leo’s hand.

 

This Cometes wasn’t the conquest reward that Seirun obtained by conquering Luna’s World, but a fake that existed only in Seirun’s world.

 

However, even so, within this world it was an object that possessed the same power as reality.

 

Therefore, it only displayed its power in the hands of one who was qualified.

 

Before Seirun entered the Heroes’ World to stop Erebos.

 

He left part of his mana and his legacy to his younger sibling.

 

Probably only the descendants of his sibling would be qualified to use Cometes’ power in the present world.

 

Such Cometes was shining brilliantly just by being gripped in Leo’s hand.

 

Even in Seirun’s hands, unless he was casting magic, it wouldn’t shine like that just from being held.

 

Leo looked at the brilliantly shining Cometes with longing eyes and handed it to Seirun.

 

Seirun, who received it, stood up.

 

And asked as if he couldn’t believe it.

 

“Are you really… Lord Kail?”

 

“That’s right.”

 

“How… how did this happen? How do you know me? And what is that appearance…”

 

Seirun asked in confusion.

 

Kail, the Hero of the Beginning.

 

One of the Great Heroes and the last Great Hero who ultimately defeated the primordial evil and brought peace back to the world.

 

Seirun, who had conquered the Hero Records of the Great Heroes countless times, had met Kail many times.

 

But those were meetings in the Heroes’ World.

 

No matter how real it felt, it was ultimately an illusion.

 

To Seirun, Kail was a figure from 2000 years ago.

 

Such Kail knew him.

 

Moreover, he had a completely different appearance from what he knew.

 

Looking at Seirun’s confused expression, Leo chuckled.

 

“It’s called reincarnation.”

 

At that answer, Seirun’s eyes widened greatly.

 

“I heard your story from Mellina.”

 

“Mellina…”

 

Seirun’s eyes widened.

 

The Dragon Lord who had last challenged the World of Cataclysm.

 

“You’re holding on, right?”

 

At Leo’s words, Seirun lowered his head.

 

Holding on was all he could manage.

 

A situation where all he could do was buy time.

 

Seirun knew it too.

 

He and the Heroes of the Cataclysm were probably the first and last to completely conquer the Hero Records of the Great Heroes.

 

In the process of trapping Erebos within the Hero Record, they divided the Hero Record to imprison him perfectly.

 

In that process, the records of many heroes including the Great Heroes were damaged and scattered throughout the world.

 

Despite properly inheriting the power of the great Great Heroes, they couldn’t properly stop Erebos.

 

Knowing this fact, Seirun couldn’t bring himself to raise his head.

 

Looking at Seirun who was gritting his teeth and keeping his head down with a guilty expression, Leo extended his hand.

 

And placing his hand on Seirun’s head, he said.

 

“Thank you.”

 

“…!”

 

Seirun looked up in surprise.

 

“For protecting the world we protected. For making our efforts not meaningless, truly thank you.”

 

Looking at Leo conveying his heartfelt gratitude, tears rolled down Seirun’s cheeks.

 

Those words were like compensation and salvation for the desperate thousands of years to Seirun.

 

A ray of light in the endless, long, pitch-black darkness.

 

“I know it’s shameless to ask.”

 

Leo said with a smile filled with regret.

 

“Could you hold on just a little longer?”

 

“…Of course!”

 

Seirun smiled brightly.

 

He could see hope.

 

He had a premonition that his long-awaited resolve would finally be fulfilled.

 

Cometes gripped in Seirun’s hand shone brilliantly.

 

The Comet Mage’s mana swirled.

 

‘I can do it.’

 

Seirun put strength into his hand.

 

Gooooooo—!

 

The surrounding mana stirred.

 

The beginning of everything.

 

The origin of all existing heroes.

 

A word from the Hero of the Beginning who saved the world.

 

Could there be any more encouraging words than this?

 

‘I am the Comet Mage, Seirun Tingel.’

 

“Stella Chain.”

 

As a massive magic circle was created, bundles of starlight chains burst forth from it.

 

‘Progenitor of the Starry Skies, one who inherits Luna’s will!’

 

Seirun’s eyes shone.

 

Clang clang clang clang—!

 

With the loud sound of chains, the chains pierced through the void.

 

The world that was already falling apart was gone.

 

The world that Leo had rewritten regained its original form.

 

And the world that regained its vitality was the strongest prison that confined the darkness trapped here.

 

Kiiiiiiing—!

 

Space opened and black flames flowed out.

 

At that sight, Leo narrowed his eyes.

 

‘Erebos.’

 

It was different from the fragments or thoughts he had seen since his reincarnation.

 

A fragment of Erebos that he had sealed before.

 

It was literally a pure flame of evil that could destroy the world.

 

Kwagagagagang—!

 

[Remarkable.]

 

Erebos, who had emerged to escape to the outside world, narrowed his eyes seeing the world that had regained its original form.

 

[For the detestable gods’ prison to regain its original form, what trickery did you use, mortal?]

 

“The true owner of this world has simply arrived.”

 

[The real master?]

 

Roooooooooar-!

 

Erebos’s flames swirled even more intensely.

 

He felt no doubt.

 

As a being rivaling the gods, Erebos understood Seirun’s words instantly.

 

Erebos’s crimson eyes turned toward the human standing beside Seirun.

 

Flicker-!

 

[I see.]

 

Erebos’s eyes flashed.

 

“It’s been a while.”

 

Killing intent dwelled in Leo’s eyes.

 

“Neither of us wanted to meet again, I’m sure.”

 

Kwagagagagagagang-!

 

Black flames that burned everything rushed toward Leo.

 

But before the black flames could reach Leo.

 

Seirun’s magic deflected the black flames.

 

Leo glared at Erebos without even glancing at the black flames burning throughout the surrounding area.

 

[The surviving hero. How did you obtain a new body and live in this world?]

 

“Perhaps it’s the will of the gods for me to completely finish you off?”

 

[You speak well. But defeating me in your past life wasn’t your power alone, was it?]

 

“Of course not.”

 

Leo smiled.

 

“But even after 5000 years have passed, my bonds with them haven’t been severed.”

 

Leo extended his hand.

 

“Because those bonds continue through the generations.”

 

Leo summoned Polium while looking at the message that appeared before his eyes.

 

“Just like now.”

 

[The magic power of the ‘Progenitor of the Starry Skies’ inherited by Seirun is being inherited.]

 

Polium’s magic power, which had lost its strength, reacted to Luna’s magic power and emitted brilliant light.

 

‘I understand now, the true ability of Hero Record.’

 

Hero Record is the power that connects generation to generation.

 

A system that inherits the power of previous heroes.

 

But Leo, the master of Hero Record, was special.

 

The world of Seirun where Leo currently existed was a complete Hero Record that had just been newly written.

 

A perfect world untouched by Erebos’s power, like the Book of Shadows.

 

Here, Leo automatically received the rewards that Seirun gained while conquering Luna’s world.

 

‘Come to think of it, that’s strange. It’s odd for a master to receive rewards, isn’t it?’

 

Hero Record.

 

The Record System that the god Pibua mentioned in Luna’s world was literally something that reproduced the power of those recorded.

 

‘The master of the Record could freely use the power of those recorded in the Record.’

 

Literally a fraudulent miracle left by the gods.

 

That was also why Leo gained Luna’s power that Seirun had obtained.

 

Seeing Leo brilliantly shining with starlight, Erebos’s eyes trembled.

 

[You bastard….]

 

Leo looked at Erebos and said.

 

“Wait just a little longer.”

 

Leo raised Polium.

 

“I’ll come to finish you off soon.”

 

Woong-!

 

A massive magic circle was created in the void.

 

Seeing the intricately embroidered runic script, Seirun’s eyes widened.

 

‘Apocalypse? No… this is…!’]

 

Even Seirun was seeing the real thing for the first time.

 

“Innocent.”

 

Pure white light shone brilliantly.

 

Erebos’s body, exposed to the light, became distorted.

 

[In the end, it’s just struggling.]

 

Erebos said.

 

[In the end, you’re alone.]

 

Whoosh-!

 

Erebos, swallowed by the pure white light, disappeared from sight.

 

Seirun spoke as if in awe.

 

“As expected… you are Kail-nim.”

 

“It’s just the power of Hero Record.”

 

Leo clicked his tongue, feeling Luna’s magic power swirling within his body.

 

“This hero’s page must eventually be destroyed. It could be used as a passage at any time.”

 

If this Hero Record was destroyed, the Luna’s magic power he had just gained would also disappear.

 

At Leo’s words, Seirun said.

 

“Still… thanks to Kail-nim’s reincarnation, we can exert a bit more power.”

 

Seirun looked toward where Erebos had disappeared and spoke with strength.

 

“I’ll wait for the day when Kail-nim comes.”

 

Leo, who had been silently watching Seirun steel his resolve, lifted his foot.

 

Thud-!

 

“Kyah?”

 

Seirun let out a scream.

 

With a completely flustered face, he rubbed his bottom and asked.

 

“Wh-why did you suddenly hit me?”

 

“Hey. You. You wrote that weird novel about me liking Luna, didn’t you?”

 

Seirun made a flustered expression.

 

“And you wrote that I was an idiot?”

 

Seirun, who had been reading the mood while looking at Leo asking in a fierce voice, soon said.

 

“B-but! Luna-nim expressed her feelings like that and you didn’t know! How much Luna-nim loved Kail-nim!”

 

“That girl never once showed any signs?”

 

“She showed tons of signs!”

 

Seirun, who had been speaking emotionally, narrowed his eyes.

 

“Wait! Then you knew Luna-nim’s feelings but pretended not to know? How heartless!”

 

“I found out after reincarnating. Thanks to Luna confessing through Hero Record.”

 

Hearing Leo’s words, Seirun grumbled.

 

“You really are an idiot.”

 

Tap- Tap- Tap-

 

“Ow, it hurts!”

 

Leo repeatedly hit Seirun’s head with Polium in his hand.

 

Even while screaming, Seirun never apologized for calling his great senior an idiot.

 

If future generations had seen this childish fight between the great hero who saved the world and the hero of the Cataclysm who carried on that great hero’s will, they would have lamented.

 

“How can a junior be so lacking in charm.”

 

“Luna-nim said I was cute.”

 

“You don’t need to resemble Luna’s shamelessness too.”

 

At Leo’s words, Seirun smiled.

 

Leo, who had been watching such Seirun, said.

 

“Want to hold out your hand?”

 

At those words, Seirun made a puzzled expression and extended her hand.

 

“I’m not Luna, but.”

 

Leo gave the Polium he held in his hand to Seirun.

 

Seirun’s eyes widened in surprise.

 

“If Luna were alive, she would have definitely recognized you as her successor.”

 

A mage handing over their staff to another mage was a special ritual.

 

It meant recognizing them as one’s successor.

 

Seirun’s eyes reddened as she directly received from Leo the Polium that had disappeared thousands of years ago.

 

“Lord Kail. Did I… did we do the right thing?”

 

Leo thought for a moment at Seirun’s question as she clutched Polium tightly to her chest, then spoke.

 

“…Want to step outside for a moment?”
