837 Ending and Beginning

"...How unfortunate. How could things become like this? It's all over before I even got to have fun? This shouldn't be! Roland! It's all your fault!"

"Walk faster, idiot. I want to find my old acquaintances to hear the latest news."

Naturally, I ignored Karwenz's complaints. We had just crawled out of the River Styx. Tall black mountains surrounded us on both sides, and the only silver path led to a group of palaces in the distance. I could only exclaim over the familiar dark gray sky.

"Hell. I never thought that I'd be here again."

Karwenz's exclamation was filled with nostalgia. Perhaps it was the battle of Hell that had changed the path for the entire world.

For Karwenz, he had broken free from the will of the Chaos Abyss's control here. He obtained Cynthia's knowledge and memories and gained complete freedom, which was how he got the idea of opening the dimensional barrier to have more fun.
