815.

From the perspective of those living in the earthly realm, the Calamity Flame, Erebos, was an existence they could never understand.

It wasn’t because Erebos was primordial evil, nor because it was a divine being.

It was precisely the purpose of Erebos’s existence.

The inhabitants of the earthly realm who live finite lives live in order to survive.

Because everyone has an end, life is fierce.

Unlike those earthly inhabitants, Erebos possesses infinite time.

And it lives to end that infinite time.

Harboring the wish for the world’s destruction.

Rea bit her lips tightly.

‘For Erebos, the instinct for destruction is like our instinct for survival.’

The survival instinct is something utterly natural for living beings to possess.

The most primitive and powerful desire.

‘But that’s not a desire.’

Living beings have desires.

In various sizes, in all sorts of forms.

Even the Great Heroes who have been reborn as beings with transcendent power all have their own desires.

‘What we wish to move toward is also desire.’

Impatience settled in the King of Wisdom’s eyes.

The cause of that impatience was fear of the unknown.

The primordial evil, the Calamity Flame Erebos, was an existence without desire.

It had to be that way.

Its only wish was the world’s destruction.

Just as living beings’ obsession with life cannot become desire.

For Erebos, the world’s destruction could not become desire.

And there was no way a being that only wished for the world’s destruction could harbor desire.

But just a moment ago.

Erebos revealed desire.

An intense desire to burn not only this world where it currently exists, but the entire infinitely spread parallel worlds.

And desire can also take the form of ‘dreams.’

Rea knows well how powerful a force having dreams can be.

The driving force that allowed them to overcome the impossible and save the world was also ‘dreams.’

‘That monster harbored such a thing?’

Goosebumps rose.

Right now, Erebos had gained the power to surpass its limits.

‘I have to stop it!’

“Arron!”

Rea’s voice was filled with such urgency that she forgot to call Arron by the name Kar.

At Rea’s cry, Kar’s golden eyes flashed as he kicked off the ground.

Thud-thwack-!

Kar closed the distance with Erebos like a streak of lightning.

His eyes flashing, Kar thrust his sword directly into Erebos’s back.

Thwack-!

Erebos’s body was momentarily pinned to the ground.

Whoooosh-!

“Kugh?!”

But black flame wings erupted from Erebos’s back, repelling Kar.

Seeing this, Roon shouted.

“It’s like Spirit Armor, but who uses summoning magic so recklessly?!”

“I use it like that!”

At Roon’s cry, Leo summoned Fiora.

Crackle-crackle-crackle-

Along with it, pure white lightning swirled around Leo’s body.

A contractor from the distant past.

Leo, manifesting the power of the Pegasus King, raised his speed to maximum.

Whoosh-!

Instantly pursuing Erebos, Leo reached out his hand.

Grab-!

Leo caught Kar’s hand as he was being repelled and shouted.

“Kar! Accelerate like this!”

“But then Kail, you might get hurt…”

“I don’t care, so jump!”

He would become the support, adding his current acceleration to Kar’s leg strength.

Of course, he would have to take the full repulsive force of Kar’s aura, but Leo didn’t mind.

They had surpassed their limits by breaking their bodies like this.

What did it matter now?!

Kar gritted his teeth and concentrated aura at his toes.

Leo tensed all the muscles in his body against the explosive hero’s aura.

Boom-!

Leo was repelled backward by the repulsive force, and Kar shot forward terrifyingly.

“Haaaaaaah!”

Whooom-!

Roon’s magic settled at the tip of Kar’s sword, and Rea’s dragon speech magic and fairies settled in his body.

Crack-crack! Crunch-crunch!

Kar’s body was destroyed by the tremendous force, and tremendous pain assaulted him.

Kar felt his vision turning red.

Roooooar-!

The aura emanating from Kar’s body, blessed by Rea, settled into Valhar’s weapon.

Crack-crack-crack!

As the sword took in Roon’s magic power followed by Kar’s enhanced aura, it couldn’t endure and cracked.

With all the power of the Great Heroes imbued in it, even a weapon made by the Divine Blacksmith had no way to endure.

No, it was because it was something made by Valhar that it could endure this power at all.

“…I’m sorry.”

Kar bit his lips tightly and apologized.

Whooom-! Whooom-!

The sword resonated as if telling him not to mind.

That this was truly its duty.

It answered that this was the will of the Creator who made it.

“I’m going…! Drang!”

The name Valhar had personally given.

Drang, the sword acknowledged as a masterpiece by the Divine Blacksmith, unleashed its final sword energy.

In Kar’s eyes, he could see the mirror Leo had crossed in the distance.

Kiiiiing-!

Instantly, pure white light settled in Drang’s blade.

Leo’s unique magic, Innocent.

‘With Kail’s power added, it won’t last long.’

Before the sword’s lifespan ended!

Flash-!

The sword strike emanating from Kar’s blade split space.

Slash-!

Erebos’s entire body was torn to shreds.

A strike that poured out all his strength in an instant.

But even with that attack, Erebos didn’t stop.

“Rea!”

Leo, supported by Valhar, shouted urgently.

His body that had taken Kar’s aura head-on was already battered beyond recognition.

Spitting blood, Leo said.

“Shoot!”

With those words, Rea fired Retribution toward the mirror.

The moment the arrow of light touched the ice mirror.

Gooooooo-!

Thwack-!

“We will meet again.”

In front of the ice mirror, Erebos grinned wickedly as he was hit by the arrow of light.

Crackle-!

The ice mirror began to crack.

“Wait for the end, Great Heroes.”

Erebos was sucked into the ice mirror.

Crash-!

At the same time, the ice mirror shattered and burst into flames.

Erebos had burned the entrance.

Thud-!

“Damn it!”

Rea immediately struck the ground and spat out curses.

“We were completely played.”

Valhar muttered in a devastated voice.

They never imagined that Erebos would cross over to a parallel world.

“What happens now?”

Roon asked with an anxious face.

To that question, Rea, holding her head with one hand, spoke in a trembling voice.

“Leo. In your worldline… is there anyone who can stop Erebos?”

“Risinass, though you’ve summoned him through a heroic spirit contract.”

After a brief pause, Leo spoke in a serious voice.

“He’ll have a hard time handling it alone.”

Rea let out a deep sigh.

“Erebos probably won’t stop at just burning that side and coming back here.”

“Then?”

When Kar asked with a terrified face, it was Leo who answered.

“He’ll try to devour all the fragments over there.”

At those words, Kar gasped.

“Then…”

“Yes. If that happens, he’ll gain power beyond his complete form.”

The atmosphere rapidly darkened.

Valhar, who had approached where Erebos disappeared, looked around the area.

Roon looked up at the sky.

Countless legions of Tartaros could be seen.

Rea, crossing her arms, said.

“Roon.”

“I know without you saying.”

Thunk-!

Roon struck her staff on the ground.

Whirr-!

Then an enormous magic circle was formed.

It was a Warp Gate created on the spot.

“I’ve connected the coordinates to the Warp Gates of each Hero Academy.”

At Roon’s words, Rea nodded.

It was a desperate situation.

The flow of time between here and there was becoming similar.

‘But at least it’s true that the time flow over there is slower than here.’

As evidence, Leo’s watch showing the time of that world was still flowing slowly.

‘It’s a desperate situation, but…’

When had it ever not been?

Determination filled Rea’s eyes.

‘I’ll defeat Erebos somehow.’

Even if I have to cross over to that world.

Watching Rea steel her resolve, Leo clenched his fist.

‘It’s not over yet.’

There was still hope.

The path to travel between parallel worlds had been destroyed by Erebos.

But Chloe had crossed the barrier between parallel worlds using magic.

‘The problem is time.’

He needed time to be able to return again.

“Leo, come here for a moment.”

“Why? Did you find something?”

“Look at this.”

Valhar showed him a small ice fragment from the ground.

“It’s a small piece that didn’t burn and remained.”

At Valhar’s words, Leo touched the fragment.

Slip-

Leo’s fingertip went in.

But soon his finger got stuck.

“…It’s narrow.”

“Is it impossible to pass through with the remaining fragment after all?”

‘A way to use this… Hm?’

It was when Leo was lost in thought.

Something in his chest reacted.

Leo put his hand in his inner pocket and took out the object.

“Hero Record…”

It was none other than a fragment of his own Hero Record.

When he crossed over to this side, the Hero Record fragment Leo carried became an entrance.

What he gained instead was this.

‘…Can’t I create an entrance with this?’

Having thought that far, Leo’s eyes widened greatly.

Soon Leo gripped the fragment and muttered.

“It’s worth trying.”

***

Nix, who had been watching Styx’s advance from afar, smiled coldly.

“In the end, it seems his soul chose to remain in that world.”

Now it begins.

The beginning of fulfilling the wish to freeze this world and make it an eternally stopped world.

Rumble rumble rumble rumble—

At that moment, the ground began to shake.

‘What? What is this?’

This wasn’t a natural phenomenon.

Nix’s face, which had been frowning, slowly began to harden.

“No way?”

Nix’s face turned pale.

Meanwhile.

Risinass’s face, who had been commanding the spirits on the city wall, hardened stiffly.

“Lord Risinass?”

Chen Xia, who had been assisting him, looked bewildered as she watched Risinass freeze up.

Risinass bit his lip.

“…It’s coming.”

“What? What is?”

CRASH—!

A massive black pillar of fire shot up into the sky.

Everyone’s faces hardened stiffly.

The sky began to turn a dark red color.

“That is… No way?”

Chen Xia’s face turned pale.

“Erebos…”

Just as Risinass’s face hardened.

Thud—

Someone landed behind them.

“It’s been a while, foolish one. No. I saw you just a moment ago, so it hasn’t been that long, has it?”

“…”

Risinass’s face hardened stiffly at the voice coming from behind.

When he turned around, there was Erebos in Kail’s appearance.

“How dare you take that form…”

Deep killing intent settled in Risinass’s eyes.

Seeing such a Risinass, Erebos laughed.

“Unfortunately, I don’t have time to deal with mere spirits.”

Erebos’s gaze turned somewhere beyond the city wall.

“Right now, recovering my fragment takes priority.”

“You think I’ll just let you go quietly?”

The moment Risinass raised his mana.

Erebos’s sword strike covered Risinass.

Startled, Risinass hastily pushed Chen Xia away and blocked the sword strike.

CRASH—!

The city wall collapsed entirely as Risinass was slammed into the ground.

“Stay down, foolish one.”

Erebos sneered.

“Watch from there as the world rushes toward destruction.”

Leaving those words, Erebos departed from the city wall.

‘That’s not the Erebos from this world.’

Risinass struggled to get up.

“Lord Risinass!”

Chen Xia ran over and supported Risinass.

“You mustn’t overdo it! Your existence might disappear!”

“I’m already overdoing it. Now is the time to overdo it! I have to stop that bastard!”

The King of Wisdom’s insight was telling him exactly what the current situation was.

Dangerous.

If they didn’t stop that Erebos now, the situation would become uncontrollable.

‘What should I do! What should I do!’

Just as Risinass was distorting his face while desperately thinking.

Flutter.

Something fell from the sky.

“Ah?”

Chen Xia exclaimed and reached out her hand.

“Hero Record?”

Thud—

It fell onto Chen Xia’s palm.

“What’s that?”

Risinass reached for the Hero Record with a confused face.

And froze.

“Lord Risinass?”

Chen Xia called out to Risinass, who was staring straight ahead with a bewildered expression.

“Indeed… Well thought out.”

Risinass smiled and stood up with his own strength.

“Step back, Chen Xia.”

“Yes.”

As Chen Xia stepped back, Risinass looked at the message that appeared before his eyes.

[Would you like to open Kail’s World?]

“Open it.”

[Hero Record Open. Kail’s World. Chapter: Final Chapter – Hero of the Beginning]

The Hero Record opens before his eyes.

Kail’s World in a controlled state, not a Hero Dungeon caused by a rampage.

Risinass reached his hand into that world.

Risinass was also an owner of the Hero Record.

That meant he had equal authority to Leo.

And currently, Risinass was Leo’s spirit.

And Leo’s body was here.

That meant.

‘Divine power.’

He would use divine power through proxy authority.

Grab—!

Someone’s hand was caught.

Risinass used all his strength to pull the person in Kail’s World into the present world.

Flash—!

Light took form.

What appeared along with it was Kail, bearing terrible wounds that wouldn’t be strange if he died right now.

As he caught the dying Kail, strength unconsciously entered his hands.

Risinass’s fingertips trembled finely.

‘… Final chapter. Yes… This is Kail right after the final battle with Erebos ended.’

“Kail.”

At Risinass’s call, Kail, who had been lying there like he was dead, opened his eyes.

Kail, who barely managed to get up while staggering, looked at Risinass blankly.

“Did I… come to the afterlife?”

“No. You are dead, but… this isn’t the afterlife.”

Risinass shook his head and used healing magic, healing Kail’s dying body.

“Kail, I’ll explain everything from now on… Whoa?!”

Before the story could even finish, Kail pulled Risinass into an embrace.

Seeing Kail silently holding him tight and trembling, Risinass quietly patted his back.

“You did well… You did well, Kail. Thank you. For fulfilling our wish.”

He praised him like comforting a young child.

Soon, as Kail calmed down, Risinass extended his hand.

When he placed his palm on Kail’s forehead, a bright light burst forth.

“So that’s how it is.”

Kail, who had received the memories through Risinass’s magic, nodded his head.

Then he looked in the direction where Erebos had disappeared.

“Lord Risinass! Are you alri… Huh?!”

“Th-The Hero of the Beginning?”

The Heroes who had come down below the city wall wore expressions of shock.

Kail glanced at them briefly, then slowly walked in the direction Erebos had gone.

While everyone held their breath and focused on Kail.

He spoke.

“Don’t worry anymore.”

Whoooosh—

Gray mana flowed out from Kail’s body.

“Because I’m here now.”
