Part 2, Chapter 67 (260)
In truth, I had resolved never to use it until the very, very end.
For Diagon, this was the final means by which I could meet my wife.
Yet if I could confirm whether my daughter lived or died, what sacrifice would be too great?
“Aurora, my love. Do you have news of our daughter?”
Diagon withdrew a card at once and posed the question quietly.
“Please, help me.”
Whoosh.
The moment his words ceased, the card adorned with water droplets blazed with light, and a bluish form emerged from within.
She rippled like water itself, yet unmistakably—it was her.
The one I had devoted my entire life to loving.
My one and only companion.
Diagon gazed upon Aurora while suppressing the surge of emotion within.
I love her. I love her.
My heart still raced at the mere sight of her, as helplessly as a youth unable to contain himself. Simply beholding her was enough to love her deeply.
[My love.]
Aurora felt precisely the same.
Of course, her circumstances were somewhat more fortunate.
Though she dwelt in the Spirit Realm, she could see him through Superti.
[Our daughter is currently trapped in Kaiser Laximon’s subspace.]
“…!”
[If she finds the door, she will escape. It will take time, but she will. For now, please trust and wait. The interior of the tower is warping grotesquely—it is far too dangerous to enter.]
“Is there truly nothing I can do? Nothing at all?”
Diagon’s soft voice trembled.
To remain idle was unbearable torment.
A father, and yet I failed to protect my daughter once more. How could I be so pathetic?
Aurora gently drew the anguished Diagon into her embrace.
Though she could not convey warmth through such contact… still, she could offer solace.
[Elzen, my son.]
“Yes, Mother.”
[How you have grown. I was delighted to watch over you through the youngest’s eyes all this while.]
Thanks to the card as a medium, she could linger longer.
She cradled Elzen’s cheeks and pressed a kiss to his forehead.
Just as she had done when he was very young.
“…I missed you too, Mother. I wish my older brother could have been here as well.”
[Mikard—he escaped the tower as well, yes?]
“Yes, my brother is safe. Everyone else too. Oh, and Cecilia Aunt as well. We had an unused Spirit King card, which saved us from crisis, but then a baby dragon suddenly appeared, and that’s how we survived.”
[Thank goodness.]
Aurora exhaled in relief and gazed quietly upon the Tower of Hell.
[That structure will now become a blight that summons demons merely by existing. Kaiser Laximon did not die. He remains trapped within. Superti must help him awaken by gathering the names of all the Spirit Kings.]
Only that can close the dimensional rift and fundamentally seal away the demons. And it’s also the only way to eliminate Kaiser.
“This won’t do. I must be the one to go in.”
Normally, when someone tries to enter a burning place, those around them stop them.
But what if that someone was Diagon, wielding tremendous power?
“If I summon a sea dragon and ride it upward, I might be able to reach the very top in one go.”
His argument was, on the surface, reasonable.
Yet Aurora still shook her head.
[Consider your age. You cannot withstand the force that tower draws in. Even young children need three of them to enter.]
“That may be true, but…”
[The Spirit King of Fortune was with them, so they will return. I’m certain of it.]
Aurora’s voice carried absolute conviction as she spoke of faith being the only answer.
I cannot tell them everything, but… now it is time for Causality to act.
They had simply been waiting for Kaiser to lose his power.
[Until Superti fulfills her destiny and contracts with all the Spirit Kings, Kaiser cannot leave that tower. He can cause no more mischief.]
How furious Causality must be, having been toyed with by him all this time.
Every attempt to capture him had failed because he fled across spacetime whenever cornered.
That was somewhat amusing.
No matter how great a criminal, Causality must capture them while upholding the laws of causality itself.
‘And Causality has no choice but to repay Superti.’
Because that is how it must be.
In other words, Superti cannot possibly die in there.
She will surely return.
There is no greater repayment than saving a life.
The problem is that only Aurora and the Spirit Kings know this. We cannot tell the people living in the mortal realm.
‘Don’t take too long coming back. Your father’s heart is burning with worry.’
And now, may you live a life filled with only joy and happiness.
Dawn breaks in the distance.
After the long night had passed, Aurora waited, bathed in the brilliant light of the new sun.
For her daughter to return.
“Father, look there!”
Then Elzen cried out, pointing at something.
It was probably the first loud shout he’d made since childhood.
“Superti!”
The form, which had appeared as a small dot at first, grew increasingly distinct.
It was Rasifer, cradling Superti.
“Father! Mother…! Older Brother too?!”
Superti appeared, perfectly unharmed and fully conscious.
Diagon caught his daughter as she leaped down from afar, and tears streamed down his face.
His daughter was alive. Warm, with a beating heart.
And she was so radiant, as if nothing had happened at all, that his father’s heart felt as though it would burn away.
I’m grateful, and I’m sorry.
“Just before we escaped, the Tower lurched as if trying to swallow us whole, but this talisman helped us again.”
“That was…”
“I received it from Maxxi—or rather, from Crown Prince himself.”
Superti removed the talisman from around her neck and showed it to me.
The completely charred talisman could never be used again, but it had fulfilled its purpose.
“Let’s go home, daughter. Hurry…”
“What about the others? They’re all safe, aren’t they?”
“Yes. Everyone is safe.”
Behind them as they turned to leave, the Tower of Hell shrieked as if in indignation.
Yet they did not look back.
Now was the time to rest.
* * *
The long, arduous conquest of the Tower had finally ended.
Since Isthel, where Blake’s home was located, lay closest to the Tower of Hell, we all relocated there.
Rasifer’s assistance had naturally been invaluable.
Having consumed the Dragon Heart and extracted all impurities, completely digesting them, he had become what could only be described as the strongest Wizard in the entire world, so the task was effortless.
‘Still, I’m grateful for it. Moving everyone isn’t exactly simple.’
I felt somewhat sorry for the people of Isthel, thrown into chaos by the sudden arrival of so many guests, but this comfortable bed was worth it!
“I missed this so much…!”
“Squeak!”
Pir was also beside me as I collapsed onto the bed.
I gently stroked the baby dragon’s small head, conveying my gratitude.
“Thanks to you saving my older brother, my aunt, and everyone else, I don’t have to cry today.”
“Squeak!”
The baby dragon puffed out its chest with confidence and laughed. Then it flopped over, exposed its belly, and rolled around—it was absolutely adorable.
‘Now… now I can finally rest.’
While bathing, Mother explained things to me.
Kaiser Laximan, now powerless, was being held by Causality.
So I just needed to rest, gather my strength, and collect the names of all the Spirit Kings to close the rift.
It wouldn’t be easy, but somehow it felt like I could do it.
‘Ah, I also need to appease the sulking Spirit King of Chaos…’
He was deeply disheartened at not being able to meet the Dog.
He was so upset that he wouldn’t even talk to me now.
‘Whatever—I’m sleeping now.’
The bed was so wonderfully cozy.
Feeling my body sink into it, I soon began snoring softly.
And the next day.
“Big brother!”
“Shu!”
I reunited with Mikard.
“Thank goodness. I’m so relieved.”
Mikard lifted me high into the air with a broad grin, and I noticed a scar etched across his cheek.
“Brother, this scar….”
“Ah, you must be curious about what happened. It’s a badge of honor, really.”
