432.
“Where is this…?”
Arron felt bewildered by the suddenly changed scenery.
“I was definitely with Erebos…”
Recalling what had happened just moments before, Arron looked up at the boy who was getting up beside him.
“You are?”
Seeing Arron’s confusion, Leo caught his breath and looked down at his hand.
A small fragment of the Hero Record, burned and tattered by fire.
It was Arron’s record.
“Leo-nim. How is Arron-nim here?”
To Mellina who asked with a confused face, Leo said quietly.
“Let’s get out of here first. There are too many watching eyes to have a detailed conversation.”
***
Leo quickly handled the situation and returned to the Flobe Family territory with Arron and Mellina.
Mellina was waiting for Leo to speak.
Arron alone couldn’t properly follow the situation.
He just…
“…Stars?”
Only stared at the countless stars embedded in the sky as if they would pour down at any moment.
He gazed at the moon with his mouth agape.
It wasn’t the eerie red moon.
He was simply mesmerized by the beautiful night sky scenery he was seeing for the first time.
After a while, Arron took his gaze away from the night sky and asked Leo.
“You’re Kail, right?”
‘It’s the same as with Luna.’
When the former legion commander, Poison King Jerdiac, appeared in Seirun and Monster Queen Silatuna invaded Seirun.
Leo had used the divine power contained in Polium to bring Luna outside the Heroes’ World.
It was exactly the same as then.
As proof, all the divine power that had dwelled in Leo’s body had disappeared.
“That’s right.”
Leo met Arron’s eyes and nodded.
“Kail, you’re really him? Then what about Risinass? What about Luna and Dweno?”
Arron’s confusion only grew greater.
‘I’ve met Arron in the Heroes’ World twice.’
The first time was when he entered Ar and Arron’s world during last summer vacation.
‘The second time was at the beginning of this semester, while conquering Dweno’s world.’
At that time, Dweno had noticed that Leo was Kail from the future, and so had Arron.
‘The fact that he doesn’t have those memories means he can only remember from the first conquest?’
“Arron.”
“Yeah?”
“How many times have you met me in this form?”
“This is the second time since I met you after encountering that strange cat-tribe child.”
‘I see.’
Leo nodded.
‘Luna also said she recalled memories of meeting me on other pages after meeting me.’
Arron was the same.
‘The reason he can’t recall memories from Dweno’s world is because that wasn’t Arron’s world?’
The owner of Dweno’s world was Dweno, after all.
‘So memories from other people’s Hero Records don’t carry over.’
Leo, having organized the situation, took a deep breath.
“Arron, listen carefully.”
“Yeah.”
“The era we’re in now is… 5000 years after the Age of Calamity we lived through.”
“If this is the future 5000 years later, then you are?”
“I was reincarnated.”
“You were reborn?”
“Yes.”
At Leo’s answer, Arron fell into thought.
‘If this is the future and Kail was reincarnated, then I can understand this situation.’
“Then how did I come to the future 5000 years later?”
“In this era, there’s something called Hero Records.”
Leo explained the process of how Arron came to be here.
After hearing the entire story, Arron asked.
“Then we won, right?”
If this time period was truly the future, that itself was definitive proof that the great heroes had won against the primordial evil.
But Arron wanted to hear it directly from Leo.
Seeing such an Arron, Leo smiled.
“Yes, we won.”
“That’s a relief.”
As if truly relieved, he showed a smile of relief.
And once again looked up at the night sky.
“So these are the stars Luna talked about so much.”
Arron was purely amazed by the beautiful night sky he was seeing for the first time in his life.
Watching such an Arron, Leo also looked up at the sky.
“They’re pretty. Now I understand why Luna said she would become a star.”
At Arron’s murmur, Leo unconsciously burst into laughter.
“Doesn’t that totally not suit her?”
“Yeah. It doesn’t suit her.”
Mellina, who had been watching their conversation, also looked up at the night sky.
Having looked at the night sky for a long time, it was a scenery without much emotion for her.
But this ordinary scenery would have been an unimaginable sight 5000 years ago.
Watching the backs of the two people looking up at the night sky, Mellina bowed her head.
‘I may not be able to represent everyone living now, but… thank you.’
***
Afterwards, Leo briefly told Arron about the history of 5000 years.
Hearing the story of what happened after the Age of Calamity ended, Arron was amazed.
“Berkia?”
Arron showed a surprised expression.
“That kid became the leader of the Elves and is respected?”
“Yes.”
“My goodness. That kid?”
‘…Just what kind of Berkia-nim do these people remember?’
Hearing that Berkia was praised as a great person who rebuilt the Elves, Arron showed a reaction of disbelief.
At that reaction, Mellina felt curiosity rising.
Berkia Ersarr.
The renowned Elf hero, known as a disciple of the Progenitor of the Starry Skies and the Hero, was one of the heroes Mellina respected as much as the Heroes of the Cataclysm.
After Erebos was defeated, he was a great person who led the Elves and brought about the revival of their race, but he was also a great person who devoted himself to rebuilding the world’s forests before that.
Beyond the Elf race, he was a global hero.
That’s why, after getting to know Leo, Mellina had asked about Berkia.
‘He was an incredibly arrogant brat. His eyes were crooked, his attitude was delinquent. He’d always try to pick fights.’
It was an evaluation from someone who actually knew Berkia, but it was also an extremely personal assessment.
That’s why he had listened to Leo’s words with a grain of salt.
‘Should I ask? No.’
Arron wanted to ask Arron about Berkia in detail, but couldn’t bring himself to do so.
He didn’t want to ruin the image of the noble elf hero in his imagination.
While Mellina was shaking her head.
“So Erebos hasn’t completely disappeared.”
Arron’s expression darkened.
“I’m sorry to those people called the Heroes of the Cataclysm. I’m sorry to you too. I’ve ended up pushing this difficult task onto you all.”
“No! You don’t need to say such things, Arron!”
Mellina waved her hands frantically in surprise.
“Still, I want to help. I don’t know how long I can stay in this time period, but isn’t there something I can do to help?”
“If that’s the case…”
Mellina carefully opened her mouth.
“In this era, there are hero candidates who want to follow in the footsteps of the great heroes. Right now on this mountain, those children are training hard. Could you perhaps guide those children?”
“Like Berkia did?”
“Yes.”
“Alright.”
“Thank you so much!”
Mellina smiled brightly.
Seeing that, Leo said.
“It would be good to give Cal, Runia, Eiran, and Driana and Ar a heads up beforehand.”
In this era, many actual records of Arron known through the Heroes’ World remain.
But it would be difficult for people of this era to recognize Arron.
‘Since his appearance is completely different.’
When Leo first saw Arron’s portrait in a history book recording the great hero’s deeds after his reincarnation, he had burst out laughing.
‘He looks like a completely different person because of his appearance.’
Leo shook his head, recalling the sharp eyes drawn in the portrait.
In addition, his expression was also firm and the atmosphere he gave off was sharp.
Literally a seasoned warrior who had been through all kinds of hardships.
He was emanating an aura like a god of war.
The portraits of Arron remaining in modern times were products with tremendous editing and beautification.
Unlike the known portraits, the real Arron was a gentle, handsome young man.
His eyes were gentle and he always wore a soft smile.
‘Though he sometimes shows an appearance similar to the portraits in battle.’
More often, you could see him getting scared of even small things.
According to Luna’s claim, he was the so-called type you want to protect.
‘If people of this era saw the real Arron, they’d just think he’s someone who resembles the hero.’
It might be different within the Heroes’ World where Arron exists.
At this point when he’s already a figure from the distant past, recognizing the real Arron wouldn’t be easy.
But it would be different for the five people who witnessed Arron’s true appearance in Dweno’s World.
‘If the fact that Arron revealed himself in the present world becomes known, it’ll be troublesome in many ways.’
In the case of elves, countless elves are still making pilgrimages to the holy land of Seirun even now.
The feelings of the beastmen toward Arron are not much different from those of the elves.
‘The virtues of beastmen are courage and strength.’
And Arron, who could be called courage and strength itself, is an object of worship.
Countless beastmen would flock to the Flobe family’s territory.
Leo didn’t want to make things difficult for his father.
In addition, news that Arron had appeared in reality might stimulate Tartaros.
Hearing Leo’s words, Mellina nodded.
“I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of children are waiting.”
Arron likes children.
The reason he wanted to save the world was also because he wanted a world where children could smile brightly.
“They’re all kind, pure, and passionate children, right?”
Since they’re living in an era of peace, he seems to think all the children would be cheerful.
‘There are many kids as eccentric as Luna and Dweno.’
Leo didn’t want to shatter his friend’s fantasy in advance.
‘He’ll probably be shocked again because of Ar.’
Seeing Arron’s cheerful smile, Leo lightly shook his head.
***
The next morning at dawn.
Leo returned to the training camp location where the 2nd years were staying.
En, who had been serving as Leo’s substitute, came to meet Leo in the secluded forest.
“You’ve worked hard. Were there any problems while I was gone?”
“Yes. There were no major issues. However.”
“However?”
“Lord’s guardians attacked throughout the night, so most of the students are unable to shake off their fatigue.”
Hearing En’s words, Leo let out a hollow laugh.
‘Those bizarrely shaped giant stuffed dolls?’
The bizarre appearance of the guardians was enough to make even Leo feel creeped out.
Thinking of those who must have been tormented by them all night, Leo shook his head and returned.
Apparently they had set up night watches because of the guardians, as several people stood in front of the campfire with haggard faces.
“Did you finish your business?”
Cal greeted Leo with sunken eyes.
“It’s been complete hell from the first day. Hahaha.”
Seeing Cal laugh miserably, Leo chuckled.
“Get some sleep. I’ll take your place until morning.”
“You’ll do that? Thanks! Leo!”
Normally Cal would have declined, but he was too exhausted now to refuse Leo’s kindness.
Leo watched the campfire.
‘To think Arron came over to this era.’
Divine power had caused a miracle.
Reaching out to Arron at that moment was purely instinctive.
Even if he saved Arron in that moment, nothing would change.
Because Arron was already dead.
‘But I wanted to give him even a little peace of mind.’
He wanted to show his friend what he had accomplished.
It seemed that divine power had responded to that will and caused the miracle of bringing Arron to this era.
‘I don’t know how much time Arron has been granted. But since it’s come to this, it would be nice if we could enjoy this era of peace together, even a little.’
Leo took a deep breath and looked around at the students.
‘Arron as an instructor.’
Leo muttered while looking at the dawn sky.
“Well, experiencing a new kind of despair wouldn’t be too bad either.”
