The emperor had a dream.

When he was a prince, he had a dream where he was tired of his sister's supplementary classes and talked back to her.

How can you use something like this after learning it? I can't become emperor anyway.

At a young age, he did not think that this would hurt his sister, and he was swayed by his immediate emotions and grumbled.

Then, will you think that you will protect me by studying hard?

His sister said that with a grin.

Looking back, her teachings were about protecting or leading someone.

The emperor's task rather than the emperor.

That must have been the essence that Nui wanted to teach Drich.

Even if he is not necessarily an emperor, as long as he can lead the people well, there is no need for him to be obsessed with it, right?

Nui did not want to become emperor.

He wanted to lead and protect everyone.

So as not to be abandoned.

Because I know that pain well.

Qualities of a monarch.

What his sister had and he didn't.

So the emperor pushed the empire into ruin.

Drich's eyelids slowly fluttered upward.

"⋯⋯I wish I had known earlier."

The true meaning of my sister's will and the dream she entrusted to me.

Had that been the case, a different result might have been reached.

It was always a late regret.

"Your Majesty, are you coming to your senses? I'm very worried about your future since you can't use much strength with just a dagger."

Helga scowled at the Emperor who had regained her consciousness.

The emperor was still slumped on his back, but his voice was the same as usual.

"Lord Sentle, you should have cut out your tongue then."

"It doesn't sound like a joke, so please refrain from saying things like that."

"Thank goodness. It's not a joke. Do you know who you're saving now?"

A lot of blood was shed, and the poison stayed for a long time.

Although he is a strong adult male, the emperor is an ordinary person who cannot handle mana.

Still, he spoke clearly.

Helga knew that he was just bragging.

"I was not hit by the poison. You are my master's enemy."

"If you save me now, you will regret it later."

"I am only following my master's orders. So please live and become my successor. You will have to make a lot of effort to cut out my tongue."

Helga lifted the Emperor's slightly slipped body back onto his shoulder.

There was a risk of being trampled by the crowd if he went out through the main gate, so he moved to the outskirts to climb over the palace wall.

"⋯⋯Helga. It was right around the corner."

The emperor gazed into the distance.

His tone suddenly changed from that of a leader leading an empire to that of a boy he had been in his immature days.

"The unification of the North, the victory in the long war, and the destruction of the private army. It was so close that it was within reach. If only there had been a little more time, the Oxburg Empire would have entered an unprecedented golden age. I believed that would happen. It was all just a foamy dream. "Unexpectedly."

For Helga, who became a sword master, the walls of the palace were so high that she could jump over them in a month.

From the top of the castle wall, Helga looked down on Octantium.

"You see. These are the results of my actions."

Burning capital.

Black smoke billowed as if it would engulf the empire.

Casualties were either burning and screaming or lying around asphyxiated by smoke.

Helga didn't know which was better: the dead who were caught in the explosion and evaporated without knowing what was going on.

"I guess this isn't what my sister wanted."

The 250-year-old capital collapses, and the life built upon it disappears.

The golden crown that supported the empire melts.

It can't be reversed or stopped.

Helga lost consciousness for a moment at the hell-like scenery.

"I am the Dark Lord. I was deceived by the Dark Lord and waged an unreasonable war, wasting manpower, and lost my capital to the Great Devil. The damage is enormous, and it will take a long time to recover."

In the meantime, the devil will finish preparing for the invasion and wait for the enemy ships to disappear.

When the time comes, the Oxburgh Empire will have to welcome them with open arms.

It was a disaster caused by the emperor's stubbornness.

In the face of the great catastrophe that befell humanity, even Helga found it difficult to hold on to a thread of hope.

"And yet you tell me to live like this."

The Emperor got off Helga's back and stood on his own two legs.

Barely, precariously.

He moved forward as if he wanted to catch the last glimpse of the capital.

"What do you want to achieve by bringing me back to life? Whatever it is, it has already been achieved. Amgun has a fitting end. Let him die here."

Grab the sword and draw it.

Take the head of the monarch who brought ruin to the empire.

Even if you can't do it because of Bjorn, don't disgrace me by showing your old affection.

Despite the Emperor's request, Helga did not cut off the Emperor's head.

"I have no intention of making your Majesty comfortable. Your Majesty is not even permitted to die."

If you kill him, you will conceive the seed that will divide the empire.

As a follower of Björn, you can never commit that.

Also, it was impossible to think about old times.

Because the princess entrusted him with being the emperor.

"Death is not your responsibility. Survive and pay for it. And it's not over yet."

"Do you think there is hope in this situation?"

"If you are Viern, you will definitely find a way. You have done it so far."

Is it wind or faith?

Even though Helga said it herself, she didn't know which side it was.

Because we don't know what happened underground.

The situation is getting worse.

It appears that the entire capital city was prevented from being blown up, but the fire grew stronger with the wind.

Due to the revolution, most of the capital's population was concentrated along the Emperor's Road, so the number of casualties would be small compared to the scope of the explosion.

However, the speed of the fire was much faster than the safe escape of all imperial citizens in the capital.

Helga could only watch as people burned to death on the castle wall.

'Biern...'

If only the capital was lost, it is still a positive thing.

Below there were saints and other talented people needed for the empire.

If that explosion occurs, it will be difficult for even the strongest person to survive.

No matter how strong Jin was, he wouldn't have had the power to protect anyone against the Great Evil.

If they all lost their lives, the empire would have no future.

Helga's head was filled with bad thoughts.

[Kooooo!]

At that time, the capital city shook as if there had been an earthquake.

A groan mixed with mana rang out from the direction where the flames had risen.

"What on earth is this...?"

Kukukukung-

The roaring noise from underground eventually leapt beyond the ground and into the sky.

The emperor, who collapsed from the shaking, turned his gaze to the source of the sound.

A huge shadow was seen piercing the smoke and ascending into the sky.

It was Helga's first time seeing the creature in person, but she knew immediately what it was.

Anyone living in the Oxburg Empire would have shouted when they saw that sight.

"Yo, it's a dragon...!"

A legendary being who disappeared after taking part in the war of the gods a thousand years ago.

Among them, the only descendant of Draigonak who remained on the continent released his polymorph and took flight.

Helga, who saw Asili's incarnation for the first time, seemed to be entranced by its beauty.

Giant wings that seemed to cover the entire capital tore through the sky.

The sun, which had been hiding in ashes, revealed itself again.

The light pink scales that covered its long body sparkled.

Helga, who became a sword master, had a different perspective from that of ordinary people.

A head as big as a building.

Helga could see who was leaning against the giant horn.

The lord he served was Bjorn de Jeevitz.

"I guess what you said is right..."

Bjorn is alive!

Although the situation had not changed, the emperor felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

The story of a hero king who fought against the great evil in Homeland.

Why did I suddenly think of the novel that was always on my sister's desk?

The emperor smiled helplessly at the myth-like scenery.

◈ Chapter 191 - 24-Fate and Destiny

*

Mountains and streams are burning.

The smoke is thick, and life fades away with a burnt smell.

A dusky evening with the sun setting.

The red light from the fire illuminated the horizon like dawn.

Jin was there.

A place where a haze blooms like steam and the earth boils like lava.

The second god conceived by the main god, the flame trembled like a residual fire.

When she dared to raise her head to meet her, her teeth were frozen and her eyes were distant.

Those touched by her grace left behind screaming chants and fiery dances.

Fire is something that is warm but inaccessible.

Her humans needed her and feared her at the same time.

Even the followers of the Yanhua Church could only bow their heads in reverence and did not come near.

Jin was Seonghwa.

It is a light given to mankind by the Lord, and an angry punishment for those who go against the Lord's will.

She accepted her fate.

She had no doubts and had no intention of going against it.

I just follow until the day when the Lord's use is exhausted.

That is the role of a god who has been given power.

Lead and protect humanity.

A thousand years ago, she devoted herself to being a faithful servant of the Lord.

A god who was noble and noble, and therefore lonely.

Among so many people, she was always alone.

"Is this... A memory...?"

Humans die.

It's fate.

God leaves.

It's fate.

God and humans cannot coexist.

God's purpose is to protect humanity until it becomes civilized.

The power bestowed by the Lord had no other purpose.

God, who has fulfilled his role, must leave.

So that humanity can escape from the grace of God called Mana and create their own destiny.

Otherwise, the power given by the Lord will eat away at humanity.

Just as humans cannot choose between life and death, God cannot escape from bondage.

When the main lord's arrangement approaches, he greets it silently.

Jin persevered like her ascetic in the bondage of nature.

Jin must have been lonely.

She never made a prophet or had anyone in her heart because she knew she was leaving.

Due to the forced devotion, she was unable to choose anything on her own.

The only thing that allowed her to survive was her sense of calling as God.

I am a God. Born as a god, die as a god.

A noble ember.

It becomes a furnace of mana, burning itself and illuminating human civilization.

The warmth that surrounds them does not choose who it touches.

Jin's devotion to her was blind, and that is why humans worshiped her as their god.

Don't choose. Nothing.

It is not God's domain.

When the tribe leader was called king, the mana that Hwajeong gave off became poison and descended on humanity.

A crystal that blooms like a flower on the skin of a newborn life.

People called it the Curse of Mana.

The number of people suffering from an incurable and incurable disease gradually began to increase.

As the concentration of mana became thicker, plants and animals also responded.

Humans called beasts that could manipulate mana monsters.

They invaded humanity's homeland with their intelligence.

The number gradually increased.

Plague and chaos came to the world.

The gods knew what caused it.

The four gods who looked after humanity suddenly became enemies threatening humanity.

After some time, a sword came down from the sky.

People called it the Holy Sword.

The person with the ability to erase supernatural abilities was chosen by the Holy Sword.

Jin knew that it was the God's strict tool to harvest God's life.

An inevitable fate has arrived.

So what on earth did our lives mean?

Someone painted with black lines asked Jin.

He sacrificed his body to become fertilizer for mankind. Who will cry for us like that?

Jin answered, raising his hands together in a ritual toward the sky.

The Lord will recognize our penance. The myth must end now.

What we reached at the end was just a burning wilderness.

An ending that cannot be understood or received.

Still, Jin faced his approaching death cruelly.

However, there were also gods who could not do that.

Is it. But did we have a story?

No one answered those who asked.

Therefore, the questioner continued.

You have entrusted everything to God. So, did the Lord listen to your plea? The fate of God has eaten away at you. You die alone. As you wish. Did you live for that?

Jin closed his eyes and prayed silently.

The person painted with black lines looked at the back of her head for a long time without answering and then left.

The person chosen for the Holy Sword was Antenor, an apostle of the Flame Church.

He drew his sword to execute the gods who had now become a curse on the continent.

The four gods gathered in one place to reach the end of the long journey.

Moloch declared on the spot.

I will break the restraints that the Lord God has arbitrarily bestowed upon me.

Our life is ours. Even if it is God's will, I will not blindly sacrifice myself for someone else. If only one, god or man, must survive, I want us to remain. But if you go against my will, I will not remain a god.

Moloch of Yeongdo.

The first descendant of the main god.

He, who symbolized the beginning, standard, and foundation of everything, betrayed himself right before his death.

He had a desire to save his life, abandoning his mission as a god.

Moloch chose.

It was an act not permitted by God.

The rest of the gods, including Jin, could not agree with his will.

That's how he became the devil.

In the past, he led the five prophets he created for humanity and fought for their lives.

If he could not be punished, the remaining gods could not fulfill their calling.

Jin, Draigonak, and the World Tree joined forces to create a huge magic circle that would cover the continent with the lava in the ground.

The magic circle, called the Red Line, trapped Moloch on the continent and weakened it.

As time passed and he lost his strength, he planned to finish it off at that time.

Then, Moloch, who was trapped on the continent, eventually massacred the humans on the continent.

Life faded away day by day.

Still, Jin and the rest of the gods waited.

Until he loses his strength.

To make sure it ends.

Soon, half of the continent's population disappeared.

The screams and moans reached Jin as well.

Jin just covered his ears and prayed to the Lord.

Lord, please look down on us.

The Lord did not listen.

Humanity gathered its strength to resist, but it was not enough to fight Moloch.

The one chosen by the Holy Sword was a follower of Jin, and if she did not move, she would not exert her power.

Moloch's massacre will continue until all life on the continent is buried in a blizzard.

Don't choose. Just like it always was.

If that happens, it will be a disaster for humanity.

Such is the oppression of God's bondage.

O flame of fire, why have you forsaken us?

At that time, a girl shouted towards the flame palace.

The girl was wounded and cornered by the curse of Mana, which crippled her left leg.

The child's scream shook Jin.

Jin covered her ears.

She covered her eyes and did not even make a sound as she breathed.

But no matter what she did, the child's voice could be heard clearly.

Jin! Please look down on us!

The prayer was the same as the one Jin offered to the Lord every day.

Even though Jin's prayer did not reach the main god, her child's prayer did reach Jin.

It was at that moment that the tightly closed door of the Flame Palace opened.

A thousand years ago, Jin finally made a choice of her own will.

I decided to abandon my mission as a god and save humanity right before my eyes.

Like today.

In the war of the gods that took place a thousand years ago, Jin eventually fought against Moloch.

Demons rushing in from the frosty frozen ground.

A heroic spirit whose name has now been forgotten shouts.

It was a scenery right in front of us, but it seemed so far away.

Jin burned the enemy at his head.

However, on that battlefield, Jin was not God's representative.

The anger that enveloped her was entirely her own, and it was of her own will that she fought Moloch.

Jin chose.

It became a disaster.

Just like Moloch did.

Jin, after all, you are just like me.

As Antenor's sword pierced her body, the one painted with black lines spoke.

In her fading consciousness, Jean thought she might be right.

"Kuhuk! Cough!"

As I moved my body, the finely crumbled stones fell apart.

It's dark.

As she tried to use her mana to strengthen her eyesight, she felt intense pain.

I know even if I cannot see.

The liquid flowing from her mouth was not saliva.

The countless warning sounds coursing through her nerves became sharp pain and reached her brain.

Grabbing my tingling head, I looked around.

"⋯⋯I woke up."

It was Jin's voice.

The faint magic circle visible from afar is probably used to prevent the cavity from collapsing.

Relying on that light, I faced Jin.

"I told you. I will save you."

I, along with countless other people living in the capital, are dying every day.

It was clear where the scales were leaning.

Nevertheless, Jin moved her scales as she pleased.

It became a disaster and descended on this land.

Just like that day a thousand years ago when I abandoned the fate that was like a source of pride.

◈ Chapter 192 - 24-Fate and Destiny

Should I criticize him?

She chose me, abandoning her body, pride, and mission.

Or should she be happy?

Thank you for choosing me over the people and bodies of the capital who would have disappeared without a trace.

No, this is my fault.

I couldn't imagine that there would be a great evil other than the Homun.

They did not tell us why Moloch and Jinn went to war.

As a result, I gave Homun a chance.

Jin's separation from his body is a minor thing.

So, the cause of the tragedy that has struck the capital lies with me.

"⋯⋯I couldn't keep my promise."

Homun burst the capital and escaped with Jin's body.

He must have taken Odeisa with him.

Because of that injury, he may not have been able to leap all the way to Homeland in one go, but it was meaningless now.

The plan failed.

She did not fulfill the contract to restore her body.

I will end my life without being able to protect anything.

It seems like I couldn't change my fate, which ended badly.

To me, Jin shook her head.

"You kept your promise. This is how you survived."

She wiped the blood from my lip with her sleeve.

"I was the one who broke it. The curse on the world has become a little stronger."

A goddess whose destiny as a god was everything became a miserable curse.

You casually say cruel things to yourself.

Jin who says that must be sick.

"Perhaps I was no longer a god from the moment I set out to save the humans of the continent. The stigma attached was probably mine from the beginning. I will pay the price for my choice."

The choice that someone wanted to make ended up being a disaster for everyone.

Her humanity will resent her for having even her body been violated.

Just like the time she was sealed by Moloch.

In the future, humans will no longer treat Jin as a god.

I will place him on the same level as Moloch and regard him as an enemy.

It was a harsh punishment for the noble embers who stood at the forefront to protect humanity.

Jin said he would bring her name to shame once more.

"I will destroy Moloch and end the Age of Myth. I don't want to spend my life trampling on everyone. I'm sorry for hiding this from you. I didn't want you to blame yourself for causing my death."

Why are you apologizing to me?

At least to me Jin didn't do anything wrong.

I didn't ask her back, and she didn't hide it either.

Nevertheless, she spoke like a person who had committed a sin.

"But in the end, I was just like Moloch. Just as he had a desire to live, I too became greedy."

Tears flowed from the orange pupils, like those embracing the sun.

That was not permitted by the goddess.

"Björn, you are my greed. Although I cannot escape the shackles of fate, I wanted to save you."

God shouldn't be like that.

Giving your heart to a human being, whether it's sympathy or love.

Because it's a bad ending at the end.

Just like we were greeted.

"So you remain the hero. Leave the rest to me and step back amid applause. Your play is over."

Jean said she told me to leave.

May my long-cherished wish come true.

A portion of the cavity remains, as if a significant number of serial explosions were prevented.

All you have to do is follow her words and move your feet like this to escape the Great Labyrinth.

Jean will fake her death and no one will find me.

She already has enough money, so she can spend the rest of her life in a mansion with a vineyard in the southeast.

At most 2-3 years.

After that, when I die, Hwajeong will return to Jin.

But I wiped Jin's tears with my sleeve and smiled.

"Well, I guess I still have some work left to do with my role."

Raise your tattered body.

Having lost both my trained body and my Danjeon, I was no longer a knight or anything.

I have anger, but I can't use it again.

Bjorn de Jervicz, who became an archdemon and was associated with the Sword Saint, dared to cross the goddess, and his wings were broken and he fell.

Because he tried to carry God's destiny with his human body.

The main god handed down a merciless hand to the little creature who had taken over the throne.

As if asking if I could bear it.

I glared at the being who was watching from somewhere.

"⋯⋯A hero is someone who twists fate like that."

Jin called me a hero.

If so, just live up to it.

I still have work left to do.

I will finish that.

"Haha, this looks like the main character in a real movie."

My journey, which I had hoped to end with the wholesale store, heads to an unexpected place.

The reason I can't stop even though I know what's coming at the end is because I'm abusive.

I guess this is the end result for those who have a goddess in their heart.

"Let's go, Jin. We have to finish."

Stand up again and dig through the rubble.

The reason I didn't go back is because Jin is here.

Even though I knew she would burn up and disappear, I made up my mind to take on her burden.

Just like when I came here.

"Apostle! Are you out of your mind?! Thank you!"

I approached the baracura that was spreading a magic circle from afar.

He welcomed me as if he was glad to be alive.

A face different from usual was reflected in the glass-like magic.

It was a miserable sight, devastated by flames.

"Your face..."

"Apostle, I'm fine. This is just an appearance disguised as magic."

The magic used to prevent the flames from bursting out of Jin's body seemed to have saved his life, which was in the greatest danger.

"Why don't you look around instead? I can't move because of the magic circle."

"Sure."

I looked around with Jin.

In search of comrades buried somewhere in the rubble.

The first thing I found was Runea.

"Keueuuk⋯⋯!"

Buried in a pile of stones like her corpse, she was carrying the saint.

He probably poured all his mana into protecting Mion from the explosion.

Only her faint breathing made me know that she was alive.

"Cough! Cough! Bjorn... How on earth..."

As the pile of stones was removed, Mion, who was in Runea's arms, came to her senses.

As soon as he regained consciousness, he first asked about the situation, and no matter what anyone said, he was a saint.

"Homun escaped with Jin's body and Odeisa. Our plan failed."

"Well, that can't be possible... Then the capital is..."

Naturally, our defeat was not limited to us.

I couldn't answer Mion's question.

Because I had no idea what the situation was like outside.

I decided to focus first on the situation I was facing.

"For now, let's be happy that we can look after it."

"...You mean we were the only ones who survived?"

"Well, one of us might be dead. Mion, can you check on Asili?"

Only then did Mion remember Asili's presence and closed her eyes, searching for her presence.

"Ah, Silly-sama is still alive, for now. Her mana is too weak, but it looks like a spell was developed within her remains."

"Then at least we all survived."

Asili, who had to buy time one-on-one with Odessa, seems not to have crossed her death threshold either.

All she could say was heavenly luck.

"Which side are you buried on?"

"It's nearby. If you dig a little, you'll find it."

As Mion surrounded Mana and cleared away the remains of her, she soon came into contact with a translucent magic circle.

In the center, the lord of the magic tower, the dragon race Asili, lay.

In a different way than usual.

Skin covered with scales like a lizard.

One arm was long gone, and the place where her tail had been was cut out.

Half of her face was covered in ice.

Even though she had a polymorphic appearance, there was nothing healthy about her.

"Hey, your arms are stretched out nicely, do you know?"

"Want me to just pretend you're dead?"

Her words stopped, as if even breathing was difficult for her.

I wanted to let it rest, but there was no time.

I grabbed her shoulders and shook her.

"Stop talking nonsense and come to your senses. There's still work left to do."

"Kahat⋯⋯! What should I do⋯⋯?"

Asili burst out laughing at what was so enjoyable.

"Do you know how I survived...?"

"⋯⋯."

"It's because the bomb exploded right before she died. If Homun hadn't teleported away with Odeisa, she would have died just like that."

It seemed like Homun's wit ironically saved Asili's life.

However, she muttered absently, as if she had lost her will, exhausted by the overwhelming strength.

"We were clearly defeated... What on earth is left for us?"

"Really? Then I ask, how much damage did you take in the explosion just now?"

Having spread her magic throughout the capital, she would be able to know the situation here as well.

My prediction was not wrong.

Asili said, closing her eyes for a moment and counting her numbers.

"A fifth of the capital was destroyed. The current death toll is 78,312. It is still decreasing by the minute. The fire magic mixed with Jinnim's mana will not be extinguished, and it will turn everything in Octantium to ashes."

She conveyed the hopeless situation in a calm tone.

"Even if we prevented the chain of explosions, there is nothing we can do about the spreading flames. Moreover, if this continues, it will soon reach the gunpowder buried by Homun. What can we do in this situation?"

Even if it rains or pours out magic, the fire that spreads out from Jin's body cannot be extinguished.

It is said that even in the first half of Esteria, the entire might of the empire was mobilized, but it failed.

If this continues, there will be more casualties, not only in the capital.

I couldn't face that with my eyes open.

"Then let's save the remaining 620,000 people."

◈ Chapter 193 - 24-Fate and Destiny

*

A thousand years ago, the firmament belonged to dragons.

They flew through the clouds like whales swimming in the sea.

Humans engraved their images.

Never forget the spectacular scenery you saw.

[I'm telling you again and again, I'm not a train that flies when you call!]

Unpolymorphed, Asili rose, pushing his ground with his massive body.

It must be difficult to lead an immature body.

Still, the explosion blew away a lot of her ground, and she escaped the Great Labyrinth easily.

[Kooooo!]

Pushing through the acrid smoke that was blocking my view.

Asili has reached the dragons' territory.

The speed was so fast that even the baracura, which was fixing the group's bodies with a magic circle, was shaking.

Descendant of Draigonak.

The last remaining dragon on the continent has appeared.

Ash, fire, and smoke could not hide the ancient presence that covered the sky.

The dragon cried.

A cry from the huge mouth tore through ash and smoke.

The human looked up at the sky.

Their eyes captured a landscape that would have fit the age of mythology.

This is my third time flying in the skies of Asili and Octantium.

Still, this time the feeling was new.

"No one else in human history has ever ridden a dragon, right?"

"You're so good at saying things like that in situations like this."

Runea, who had suddenly come to her senses, scolded me with one ear.

Asili flew with her gigantic body and swept away, giving us a clear view of the capital city covered in smoke.

In Octantium, there was an industrial complex built along the coastline.

The place where all kinds of factories were built has now disappeared without a trace.

Sea water rushed into the hollow depression.

Homun did not achieve what he wanted.

The explosion that was originally supposed to blow up the capital did nothing but erase part of it, and the dark system that was supposed to divide humanity and cause internal strife failed.

Still, the original purpose of causing massive damage to the capital was accomplished.

"There are many people who have not yet escaped, and the fire is spreading quickly. If this continues, the number of casualties will be immeasurable."

The capital city will be visible in detail through the eyes of Sword Master Runea.

She had her lower lip crushed by the flames trying to reach the palace.

"Saint, can you erase the mana mixed with the flames with light?"

The reason it was difficult to extinguish the fire that spread to the capital was because Jin's mana was mixed.

If Mion can remove her supernatural powers through the Holy Sword, Asili can send down her rain to stop them.

"We can't completely erase such a large area."

In response to Runea's question, Mion shook her head.

If he became a sword master, it was an impossible solution for Mion right now.

Moreover, since I used the light several times in the battle with the Great Devil, it won't come out anymore even if I squeeze it.

"Then how...?"

Lunea's eyes turned to the glass palace, which seemed as if the flames were about to reach it.

She seemed concerned about the emperor's well-being.

"Is he alive...? Everyone."

Mion also looked down as if looking for someone.

Probably Amber and Barton.

I couldn't find them in the countless crowds.

You will be alive.

She had no choice but to believe that.

[Bjorn, I reached the sky as I wanted. What are you going to do now?]

Leaning against Asili's single horn, I closed my eyes for a moment.

The dead cannot be revived.

However, it is possible to prevent the living from dying.

Why have I saved humans from the hands of the devil?

It was to be used as a shield when the devil came down.

Don't let the devastation of war touch the paradise I will create.

Then why do I, who lost everything, protect humanity?

No, I am not protecting humanity.

Jin is trying to return what he lost.

"⋯⋯Hwajeong gives you the power to control fire."

It was Jin who responded to the muttering voice.

"You, no way..."

Hwajeong is a furnace of mana that burns forever.

It was a power symbolizing the flame of fire.

If I can control fire essence, I will be able to control fire mixed with Jin's mana.

"I will absorb the fire that burns the capital."

It is not a cause for humanity, nor is it philanthropy.

I am not interested in grand things like fate or fate.

At the last minute, I decided to make a choice for a goddess.

Concentrates the mana spreading from Jin's body.

And absorb it with Hwajeong.

In theory, it was entirely possible.

The process was also easy to predict.

Jin shouted in a voice that was close to a scream.

"Don't do that! Bjorn, if you do that, you...!"

"I'm going to die. For sure."

The body that could withstand the flames was crushed, and the dantian that would contain it was broken.

The moment the disaster that fell on the capital condenses, it will burn.

However, from the moment he encountered Homun, he was prepared to die.

It's no longer something to avoid.

What was truly scary was the humiliation that Jin would have to endure.

Death comes to everyone.

Although the given time may be different, neither humans nor gods can escape from that proposition.

If what Jin wants is a grand suicide, she doesn't want her to be alone when that time comes.

I will stop it.

"Jin, you are not a curse."

Instead of saving me, Jin decided to become a curse.

But I will restore her to her God.

The noble Seonghwaro who took control of the situation and fought to the death for humanity.

He's weak at wordplay and gets angry easily.

When you get close, they sometimes play mischievous pranks.

To the flames I know.

"You have always been my warm goddess."

Yeo Nam threw her horse at Jin who was running towards him.

Her true feelings that she wanted to convey were hidden behind her.

At the last moment, I turned my head to see if my feelings would come out.

"⋯⋯Mion, please take care of me."

She let go of her grip and glided towards the capital.

What I hear from behind is Jin's voice calling my name.

I didn't look back.

So that she doesn't become her regret

My role ends here.

I can't say it's a happy ending.

In the end, I didn't get the vineyard, the beautiful maid, or the comfortable bed.

Still, I can be satisfied with this.

No matter what anyone says, I am a hero who gained the goddess's favor.

"Junior! It won't work out the way you want!"

The capital does not burn down.

The people of the empire will survive and unite to fight the devil.

Djinn, along with her numerous companions, will drive out Moloch and meet her end not alone.

I have no intention of letting anything go according to your plan!

"Keuuuuu!"

The fire mixed with Jin's mana obeyed my will as expected.

Flames rushed towards me like shooting stars burning in the air.

The skin that came into contact with the fire was cooked.

The distorted Danjeon could not withstand the surge of mana along the circuit.

The fire that had no place to stay ran wild inside me.

Endure.

Blood evaporates as soon as it pours from the mouth.

In the end, the Danjeon was torn.

Uncohered mana flows back.

I stretched out my hand toward the fire horse as if I was gathering my will.

Not yet.

It's still not enough.

More.

More!

What I see before my eyes is red shimmering.

Her nose was collapsed, her lips were burnt, and her teeth were exposed.

The fire cooked my body without mercy.

Eventually, consciousness fades away.

My vision, which was all about red, became dark, and the heat disappeared.

This was right after all the flames in the capital were sucked out.

Death comes rushing in.

In front of him, I felt relieved.

Octantium escaped disaster.

Humanity no longer dies.

The stigma attached to Jin would have been neutralized by my actions.

At the last moment, what came to mind was regret.

I wanted to keep my promise.

I wanted to get Jin's body back and leave proudly.

I guess that role wasn't mine.

Consciousness fell helplessly towards the dark sea.

At that time, a spark suddenly lit up.

Something that had been sitting in my chest for a long time stirred.

It was Hwajeong.

Fire extending from Jin's body.

Hwajeong swallowed up the thing that was devouring the capital.

The warmth pushed away the darkness.

Hwajeong moved without even having time to think about what had happened.

As if it had a will.

Soon it settled where the Danjeon was.

Ruined underbelly.

There, Hwajeong surrounded herself with flames extending from Jin's body.

The end of the burnt circuit touched the bowl Hwajeong had made.

A tube as sticky as lava erupted to replace the damaged circuit.

"Ugh, ugh!!"

A pain that I would never feel again enveloped my entire body.

The consciousness that had been blacked out returned.

My body was changing.

A cocoon of flames enveloped me.

Skin covered the muscles that were clearly exposed again.

His bones twisted to fit his new body, and his hair grew back.

The wounds from the battle had completely disappeared.

What is most surprising is that in the meantime, Hwajeong completely replaced the broken Danjeon.

The Lord must have something in store for you. Don't worry too much.

Something that Geomseong had said in passing in the past suddenly came to mind.

Who would have thought that what was said as a consolation to me after my Danjeon was shattered was a prophecy.

I burst out laughing.

"Ha, I see. That's how it happened."

Jin's body is a vessel that contains her soul and passion.

The mana that came out from there was also a power with the same properties.

Hwajeong used it to make a home for herself in her body.

This is inherently impossible.

If it were a wizard, it wouldn't be known, but if it were a knight, the Danjeon and the vessel would have conflicted and both would have been destroyed.

However, when the Danjeon broke and disappeared, Hwajeong was able to take her place at the center of the circuit.

In this way, I healed my body by preventing the backflow of mana and controlling the flame of regeneration that came from Jin's body.

Danjeon collapses and the mana flowing from Jin's body, Hwajeong.

Even if just one of the three elements was out of sync, I would have been reduced to ashes.

Life continues with coincidences and coincidences intertwined.

Jindo was a variable that even I could not have predicted.

Damn it.

Was everything in the palm of your hand?

I smiled bitterly and lost consciousness.

◈ Chapter 194 - 25-Aftercare

*

Let's summarize the past story at this point.

A festival held to celebrate the unification of the empire spiraled into revolution.

The emperor who protected absolute imperial authority and the people who longed for a new era.

A fight to the death without an inch of compromise shook Octantium.

Chaos encroached on the capital.

The revolutionary faction joined forces with the noble faction and advanced toward the palace.

The Imperial faction stopped them with the Marquis of Dunmore at their head.

Due to the war with the Kingdom of Junta, troops from other countries returned to protect the empire.

Accordingly, the North once again formed an allied force under the orders of Marquis Aidan de Jevietz, and the southwestern Aryan Autonomous Territory also expressed its support for the North.

A fierce battle with the fate of the empire at stake.

When everyone's nerves turned to the revolution that broke out in the capital, I headed to the Great Labyrinth hidden beneath the capital.

This is because the dark arch-demon Homun was hiding there, trying to take advantage of the chaos to destroy the capital and divide humanity.

Homun tried to destroy Octantium using Jin's body.

He put a leash on the Empire's shadow, who was using his power in a degraded manner.

After that, he cleverly manipulated the information and instigated the emperor to wage war against the Kingdom of Junta.

At the same time, he took advantage of Duke von Lorraine's desires to spark a civil war.

The plan was to blow up the capital when the empire was split into two and they were at odds with each other.

It was a sinister plan that could effectively destroy the empire's potential without raising any suspicion that it was the work of the devil.

It was indeed a great plan for a devil specializing in ambush and disruption.

However, he also missed it.

The existence of this Bjorn de Jeevitz.

Anyone can take advantage of a typhoon, as long as they can unfold their sails at the right time.

Homun may have thought that he was the only one who set the sail, but that was a mistake.

I took advantage of the chaos in the capital to blind him and gather strength that I could not normally muster.

Saint Mion, Vice-Captain of the Knights of the Holy Cross Runea Van Hos, Mage Tower Lord Asili, Rob Alliance Leader and Flame Church Bishop Barakura, Jin of Flame.

It was a desperate team gathered to exterminate him.

Of course, everything didn't go as planned.

A variable called Odeissa.

The past that Jin hid from me.

And shaking.

Although he succeeded in cornering Homun, he ended up using Jin's body to detonate himself.

As a result, one-fifth of the capital disappeared, and 80,000 people burned to death.

The capital was burned.

If left untreated, the damage will be uncontrollable.

I had to choose.

Suck in the flames mixed with Jin's mana to end the disaster.

The moment I made that sacrifice, unexpected luck came.

The flames that enveloped the capital coalesced and enveloped you, Helga recalled.

It is said that the cocoon of flames stirred in the sky for a while before disappearing.

I fell into it, naked.

It seemed like Asili had caught me unconscious before I fell headlong to the ground.

Jin held me in his arms and cried for a while.

"⋯⋯A week has passed like that?"

I opened my eyes in a bed in a mansion that was once the villa of the von Loren family.

I felt like my brain was shattered at death's door and that I was delusional.

But it wasn't all a dream.

My body was as light as a feather, and my mind was as clear as a quiet lake.

"What on earth happened? It's like..."

"Do you feel like you've become a different person?"

Helga nodded her head instead of answering.

I fully understood what you were saying.

Even when I saw myself in the hand mirror he brought, it looked foreign to me.

"Ha, it's not some kind of martial arts. It's a complete transformation."

My still immature body twisted and regained balance.

The bones became as hard as cast iron, and the skin was clean, as if all the waste in my body had been completely removed.

The blue eyes inherited from Kanniel were particularly shiny.

The swirling vortex inside was clearly Hwajeong's mana.

The subtle red color mixed with blonde hair symbolically showed that he was already beyond the scope of humanity.

"Helga, bring the sword."

He pulled out his and handed it to me.

I closed my eyes and drew out the melted mana from the Hwajeong in my Danjeon.

The new vessel that came from Jin's body endured it without any problems.

The circuit through which mana passes was also replaced, so there was no burden.

Put an aura on the sword.

Hwajeong's mana stuck to the blade as if it had been sliced.

It was clearly the level of a sword master.

"Congratulations, Bjorn."

Helga expressed her congratulations.

Just like I did to him when I erased the curse.

When I regained consciousness, I had a rough guess.

That's because the world was so clear, as if the resolution had gone up several times.

Your sense of smell seems to be able to read scents mixed at the molecular level, and if you are conscious of your sense of hearing, you can even hear the maid whispering in the garden outside the window.

Even the sunlight hitting my arms felt like a slight ripple.

It's one thing, it's everything.

This is the state that everyone dreams of becoming a knight.

A formula given to those who have mastered the sword, saying that they have no rank except for swordsmanship.

I climbed up to the level of Sword Master that I thought I could never reach.

An unexpected coincidence.

I couldn't help but laugh at the coincidence that happened the moment I threw my life away.

"Look at this kid? He's playing with people a lot."

"Yes...?"

"Helga, I wasn't talking about you. What about the others? Ember and Barton are still alive, right?"

"Ember is suffering from the aftereffects of the torture, but both of them are in no danger to their lives. Others have also informed us that Bjern has regained consciousness, so everyone will gather."

"That's good. Then what's the situation in the empire?"

Rest is granted only to the dead.

Now that I can breathe again, I have to deal with a mountain of problems.

I asked Helga about the current situation.

He explained to me slowly.

"Currently, all functions in the capital have been suspended. Both the imperial faction and the revolutionary army are at a loss due to the sudden situation."

Part of the capital evaporated in an explosion, and dragons suddenly flew in the sky.

Moreover, someone who jumped from the sky absorbed the fire and suppressed it.

Every citizen of the empire with eyes could see that scene.

It would be difficult to move without understanding what exactly happened.

"The magic brigade and knights are working to repair the damage, but it looks like it will take a considerable amount of time to recover from the wounds."

The fire did not only take lives.

The entire core industrial complex that was responsible for the empire's production capacity was completely blown away.

It will take years to rebuild that foundation.

Still, it was much better than having the entire capital blown up.

"Due to the situation, the Duke of Lorraine and His Majesty have declared a brief truce until Master Bjern regains his consciousness."

"Fuck the truce. They must have postponed responsibility to me."

A great evil suddenly appears in the capital and an explosion occurs.

Who is responsible for this and to what extent?

The moment one side opens its mouth, the great cause of revolution and the defense of the empire disappears and degenerates into a pointless political struggle.

So, the two of them kept their mouths shut and waited for me to open my eyes.

Anyway, if I talk about it now, if I open my mouth, I'll be like a sandpiper.

Helga continued her explanation, ignoring my disapproval.

"First, under Barton's instructions, the revolutionary army disarmed, and the wizards returned to the Magic Tower. The Marquis of Dunmore's Iris Knights and our Human Lighthouse also withdrew from the castle, leaving behind only the minimum number of troops."

The Northern Alliance Army stopped moving at Handar Castle, and the imperial troops that had gone on an expedition also seemed to be waiting in the southeast.

In fact, the empire was in a state of complete lull.

As if no action was allowed until my consciousness returned.

The hospitality was excessive.

"To what extent do you control information?"

"There are only a handful of people who have accurately grasped the situation. They are all keeping silent. They all parroted that they would announce the truth as soon as Master Bjern regains consciousness."

"So... Are you saying that the entire empire is now waiting desperately for me?"

"That is true. The people of the empire are wondering what on earth happened. There is a rumor going around that Bjern is the legendary dragon rider and attempted to kill the emperor by riding a dragon."

I touched my forehead as the status report throbbed.

There was a lot of work to be done.

Just before I told Helga to get a pen and paper, someone burst through the door.

"Björn! I heard your erectile dysfunction has been cured?! Take a look!"

"⋯⋯Yeah, fuck. It's nice to see you again, Asili."

Asili, the Mage Tower, dived into the bed, his pink hair flying.

She returned her welcome by giving him her middle finger.

After that, her familiar faces appeared one by one.

Ember Cutter comes in limping on one foot, on her crutches.

Barton is worried that she might fall.

And the goddess who shines like the sun, Jin of Flame.

What should I say?

After thinking for a while, I gave Jin an awkward greeting.

"Jin. Weren't you bored while I was unconscious? Are you glad I'm back though?"

"Wow, the corpse speaks."

Jin said one word at her door with an icy expression on his face and walked away.

It was a very different reunion than I expected.

At her cold reaction, which I had never seen before, I could only stare at her place, dumbfounded.

◈ Chapter 195 - 25-Aftercare

*

"Oh my. Where has your always warm goddess gone, Bjorn?"

"⋯⋯."

"You definitely said it wasn't a curse from Jin-nim, right? That's strange? It seems like a stronger curse than anyone else has descended on you?"

The news that I had regained consciousness reached the palace.

It is said that immediately the leading figures of the empire gathered in the Peace Room.

On the way to the palace to attend a meeting to catch up.

Asili sat across from each other in the carriage and scratched the inside of the person endlessly.

"Still, your confession of love was hot! Is it because you are a man with a passion for love? You may be the first man in history to confess on top of a dragon."

"⋯⋯."

"Jin, you are not a curse! You have always been my warm goddess! Haha! Be honest with me. Have you prepared a ring for a proposal that day? When can I receive a wedding invitation?"

I kept as quiet as possible to avoid feeding it.

Any decent person would have been left in their own pool.

However, this time the opponent was bad.

Asili never let go of the prey once it had bitten it, fearing that it might be considered a snake.

"But Bjorn, women prefer straightforward men, right? If I had just shouted that I love you and even kissed you, that noble Jinnim would have fallen? If that had been the case, wouldn't I have been guarding your tomb for the rest of my life?"

"⋯⋯."

"But, what on earth did you come back to living after making all kinds of misdeeds on other people's heads? If it were me, I would have bitten my tongue and committed suicide out of shame. My skin wouldn't be thicker than your face."

"Hey, you fucking idiot. Say one more word and I'll make you a roast lizard."

Even Buddha can't stand this.

Her stomach turned upside down and I lashed out at her.

My face is probably red from the blood.

Ah, Silly smiled as if her bite had finally come.

"Then, before I burn to death, I should submit a romance novel to the Central Newspaper. The title would be something like 〉, the Irreverent Child Who Loved 〈 Dollars. Jin, I'm sure you'll enjoy reading it too, right?"

Resistance is meaningless.

Even if I rebel, since Asili has figured out my true intentions, I have to keep her quiet.

Jin must never find out how I feel!

"⋯⋯What do you want? Just tell me. I'll do anything I can."

Neither the emperor of the empire, nor the sole duke, nor the ruler of the North could bring me to my knees.

Knowing that, he did it with just a few words.

There are times in life when you have to crawl under someone's crotch.

That's exactly what it is now.

When he expressed his intention to surrender by barking at his stomach like a dog, Asili smiled happily and triumphantly.

"Then I will take it without hesitation. Give me your whiskey brewing recipe."

"Now, wait a minute! That's it...!"

That's not enough!

This is my retirement asset!

Asili was adamant despite my begging.

"You know that it's funny to waste your time on old age when you were just going to look after it anyway, right? Please decide quickly. My mouth is as light as a feather."

Asili is a dragon of wisdom who has lived for over a thousand years.

Once his weaknesses are revealed, he will never let go until he gets what he wants.

A sigh came out of my mouth.

"⋯⋯I'll leave a message to the northern brewery."

"Wow! I can finally drink without getting sick!"

What a bitch.

Fucking bitch.

Fucking lizard bitch.

I could barely suppress my bubbling stomach.

Asili clearly knew what was going on in other people's minds and drew a V for victory in my face.

Satisfied and basking in her fullness, she asked me a question that had been on her mind.

"Even if you are covering my mouth, what do you plan to do next? Looking at Jin's condition, it doesn't look like he will forgive you easily."

"Okay, that's it?"

"Do you know what Jin was like during the week you were unconscious? Every single day, I sat next to your bed and looked down at you as if you were going to kill me. It was amazing how you could lie so comfortably in that situation."

My body suddenly trembled as I saw a lifeless scene in my eyes.

It would have been better to say that I had set myself on fire several times.

"It would be a shame because when you regained consciousness, Jin left for a moment to check on Ember's condition. If you had faced it like that..."

"S-stop! So, for now, just keep your mouth shut until the situation calms down. Okay?!"

Her heart stopped as she heard her IF story brought up by Asili.

If she had done that, she wondered what would have happened by now.

There are no separate horror movies.

Even when she was fighting an archdemon, she never broke a cold sweat like this.

Yes, you will be angry.

Even if I were Jin, I would have been furious all the way to the top of my head.

He threw away all his pride and self-esteem, and when I tried to save him, he immediately committed suicide.

It would be hard to bear it if you made that choice for yourself.

The more I think about it, the more surprising it is.

How come my limbs are still intact?

At that time, a woman who was sitting silently right next to her opened her mouth.

"Apostle, all gods also harbor love for the goddess. Jin-nim must also know your love. Is there any point in hiding it?"

"No, it's not that kind of thing, so that's the problem. Still, Jin wouldn't have noticed... But wait, who the hell are you?"

I think he was around mid 20s.

Orange hair and pupils that look just like Jin.

The extraordinary appearance and perfect body that overwhelms others did not appear to be human.

Even if I said she was Jin's older sister or a more mature version of Jin, I felt like I would be deceived.

The only difference is the sharp eyes.

Where did such a beauty suddenly appear?

The mysterious woman soon revealed her identity.

"Ah, this is my first time greeting you like this, Apostle. I am Barakura, the bishop of the Flame Church."

"B-Rakura...?"

In my memory, the Barracura was clearly a crazy old fanatic.

I was dazed, as if I had been hit by a hammer due to the enormous sense of disconnect.

"Oh, now that I think about it, you said it back then! You were using shape-shifting magic!"

"I was unable to withstand the grace of Jinnim and turned into a hideous person. The scars from that time have not yet recovered and I have not been able to disguise myself. It was my fault."

The expression on the face of the woman turned dark as if she was recalling that day.

She listened to the conversation and found out that it was definitely Barakura.

Even though she knew it in her head, it was a sight that was hard to believe.

In this world, there is a magic called Polymorph.

The official name is 'Paraneva Motsame'.

It is a technique that adds mana to the body to make it look like someone else, so it can be considered the same as the polymorph found in mass stores.

The theory itself is basic enough to be accessible with just 4 circles, but it requires a huge amount of mana to use in practice.

Also, since it is basically camouflage, it should not be noticeable.

The pinnacle of magic that requires pouring in a huge amount of mana while suppressing the flow of mana as much as possible.

Therefore, Polymorph was a technique that only archmages of the 9th circle or higher could handle.

Even at that point, changing the race itself was only possible for a dragon race like Asili.

"No matter what, you twisted everything, including age and gender..."

"The position of Bishop of Yeomhwagyo was chosen by those who had the most similar appearance to our goddess. However, since he was in a position to lead the alliance between Yeomhwagyo and Rob, he needed to intimidate others, so he took on the appearance of a wealthy old man. "

I thought it was a tradition within Yeomhwagyo.

Is it natural since he has been working in the shadows for a long time?

In that case, it made sense that Barakura recognized Jin as soon as he saw him.

"Originally, Barton Wigner, the head of the revolutionary faction, was supposed to attend the meeting, but there was no one trustworthy to assist Amber. Instead, this idiot attended."

Asili explained further to me.

In order to maintain a lull, the Human Lighthouse Corps also retreated out of the castle.

Leaving behind only the minimum number of troops.

It may not have happened, but Barton stayed with Amber to prevent any unexpected situation.

It seemed that Baracura had taken his place.

"You talk a lot, like a coward who kicked Molok away as soon as he saw him."

Baracura gritted his teeth at Asili's mockery.

Would it be trash to say that it was really nice to see two beauties snarling?

Anyway, the horses were turned around to prevent the two archmages from fighting in the small carriage.

No, actually, that's what I've been meaning to ask since a while ago.

"How about Amber?"

When she regained consciousness earlier, Amber came to my room on her crutches.

She's worked hard for me thanks to you, so she wants her reward this time.

It looked the same as usual.

But he avoided the question of what happened.

"It looks like the interrogator overdosed on the confession agent. Jin and I are detoxifying him, but he will suffer from withdrawal symptoms for a while. As a knight, it may take some time for him to hold his sword again."

"⋯⋯I see."

Amber, Barton, and Helga also did their best on the ground.

Even though others didn't know, those three knew that if things went wrong, they would disappear along with the capital.

Their bravery was in no way inferior to that of the death-defying units fighting underground.

Especially Amber.

I could not have guessed the hardships she must have gone through to get her revolutionary faction safely out of her palace.

Even though I, as the lord, could not fulfill her wish yet, Amber was my knight who was more loyal than anyone else.

"I guess I'll have to open the safe this time."

The good news is that your master is one of the richest men in the empire.

Any amount of material compensation can be given.

As soon as the restoration of the capital is completed, I will make you dazzle at the wealth of the Marquis family that has ruled the North for hundreds of years.

While recalling memories of the past when I managed the items in the safe, the carriage reached the glass palace.
