At first, it was a simple change in temperament.
A fleeting thought raised a question about the topic of life, and Elric answered it with ‘family.’
This is because we know that the conflicts and misunderstandings in connecting and becoming one with others are ultimately knots that can be resolved by hand.
This is because I realized that if I move forward with courage, I will eventually reach the future I desire.
The moment I gave the answer, Gyeongji gave himself permission.
As Elric reflected on the topic of life, what he came up with was how to cut knots.
In other words, I learned how to overcome the arduous process and reach the best future.
Golden mana overflowed.
In Elric’s eyes, the number of all possible offensives that Alhadak could launch and the solutions to them were already visible in the form of golden threads. If one of them had a loose thread, it was cut, and at that moment, the process was skipped and the result was as expected.
That was what happened in the process of cutting off Elhadak’s ear.
Elhadak’s expression became blank.
The water chamber vibrated.
At this moment, the despair, joy, jealousy, and longing he felt were flowing into Elric disgustingly, like wastewater from a back-flowing sewer.
That’s why I say it.
“What a pathetic race you are.”
However, the truth was told.
He has already qualified the way to reach the level.
It was completed through force, and all that remained was enlightenment.
But I would never reach that realization in my lifetime.
Because he chose to constantly move forward into the external world, rather than ruminating on the inner world, that is, his life.
“you……!”
Elhadak pulled out his sword with a distorted face.
Elric cut another water thread.
Suddenly!
His arm fell off.
The moment he continued to walk without stopping, he cut the thread once more.
Suddenly!
His ankle fell off.
thud!
Blood soaked his body.
But he couldn’t scream in pain.
All that hung over his face was a question.
“how…”
“Do you know what I’m talking about? It’s because my talent is so low.”
His teeth gritted at the grating words.
Elric took a step forward.
“It was a castle built out of resentment. It must have blinded you.”
How can I say this, he was truly a pitiful human being.
If I had seen people instead of with resentment and murderous intent, and if I had looked at the world as the world itself rather than as a bifurcation, I would have met a different ending than I have now.
“Well, I guess it’s meaningless now.”
It’s been such a long time.
The stubbornness that had built up on his eyelids had already hardened to the point where it could not be scraped off, to the point where even Elric could not remove it. It’s just that he lived with an evil heart, and it’s time for him to pay the price.
With that in mind, Elric aimed his sword at Alhadak’s neck.
“Do you have any will?”
The threads that bound his body vibrate.
Of course, emotions were flowing, and another helpless attempt was about to be made.
It seemed like he couldn’t give up.
However, just because I couldn’t give up didn’t mean anything would come true.
Suddenly!
Elric cut off his mana itself.
The attempt to struggle was turned back in vain.
“Ouch…!”
A bloody moan came from Alhadak’s mouth.
A thought suddenly occurred to me.
“I guess it was like this.”
What is the history of the person who destroyed countless lives in the 20-year war?
What is at the end of a life that has saddened and trampled so many people.
It was the struggle of a very insignificant human being.
“Let’s get this over with before it gets any uglier.”
The tip of Elric’s sword touched between his eyes.
Elhadak’s pupils contracted.
The mouth opened, and all movement of the water chambers stopped for an instant.
The moment he sensed his own death, it seemed as if an epiphany came to him.
It was an evolutionary process, but there was no reason to wait.
Phew!
Elric’s sword pierced his head from the front and exited through the back of his head.
His breath slowly fades away.
The light in the eyes disappeared, and the body sank.

In some ways, it was a meaningless death.
To put it another way, it is like that.
‘That’s what war is like.’
There was something I realized during my long time as a mercenary.
Everyone has one life.
Death comes unexpectedly and passes by in an instant.
Futility was the essence of war.
Elric drew his sword and turned around.
It was a step that signaled the end of the war in the West.
*
It didn’t take long for the news of victory to spread widely.
The moment the flag of the allied forces that occupied the ecliptic was hung on the top of the spire, the entire continent knew of the allied victory, and what followed was the beginning of long war negotiations.
The 3rd prince, Credon Mahir, who was the head of the alliance, sat on the throne and represented the empire’s position.
The Union was torn apart by each nation, fighting day after day over how to distribute the spoils of this war, namely land and property.
What’s funny is that the people in the top 7 got tired of the conflict and ran away.
In the end, from their personal perspective, conflicts of interest between countries were a private matter.
The only exception was Cheonik Lindaros, who was running around trying to get a little bit of Richard’s country back.
It was one such day.
“What kind of negotiation hasn’t ended for two months?”
Igret burst out in anger and grabbed Edward by the collar.
Edward didn’t have much to say to her.
No, there wasn’t.
‘Why are you doing this to me…!?
He invented a new weapon called the ‘Magic Saturation Tank’ during this war, and was living a very busy life just promoting this technology.
In the meantime, I had to listen to the kingdom’s words and accept Juju’s complaints, so much so that even ten bodies were not enough.
I was more envious of Gerdiana Heimberg.
This is because Zerdia was satisfied with preserving the territory of Nazak and turned away, and the Holy Church of Heimberg was not interested in anything other than the ‘Holy Land’.
Igret bit her nails and muttered.
“I have to go to Wibin! I want to go too…!”
I wonder if you are young.
Edward suddenly remembered one person.
A man who had been assisting in negotiations with the Empire until recently in order to protect his loyalty to Elbers.
A man who ended this war once and for all and left with only one word: ‘Don’t ever come to me for this again.’
Only a week has passed since Elric left.
I said to myself, moistening Edward’s eyes.
‘Lord.’
Are you happy there?

Puuuuu-!
The train stopped with a horn.
We had arrived at Wibin.
Elric got off the train at a slow pace.
The autumn air was cool.
“Go take a look!”
EW’s senior director bowed 90 degrees and bowed.
Elric waved his hand in response and left the station.
It was that moment.
Suddenly, a strange feeling occurred to Elric and he opened his mouth.
‘It’s harvest season.’
The smell of grass is so strong that you can hear it even at the entrance of Iri Station.
The setting sun dyed the land in a faint golden light, and the familiar yet awkward scenery whispered quietly.
– Let’s go back quickly.
That’s it.
Elric walked with a tickling feeling.
He could have gone by horse-drawn carriage, but he wanted to enjoy the view more, so he went on foot, and the village recognized him.
People opened their eyes wide and smiled brightly.
Elric responded with a smile and took a step forward.
Perhaps because they knew his feelings, the villagers did not catch Elric at all.
From the station to the village square, through the square to the main road, Elric arrived at the vast wheat field.
Hometown welcomed Elric.
The wheat field, bathed in the glow of the sunset, stretched out as if dancing softly.
The sound of grass rustling, insects in the grass, and the faint sound of a cow bellowing from afar tickled my ears.
Elric felt his heart beating rapidly.
From then on, his steps became a little faster.
There was a smile on his lips.
The moment we moved to the street where the mansion was visible in the distance.
Rustling-
The wheat fields shook.
Elric turned his head and felt like his breathing had stopped.
Because there was a woman who jumped out from there.
“ah…”
It was a woman wearing a loose-fitting dress that was easy to move around in.
Beneath the straw hat, Wibin’s blonde hair, resembling a wheat field, swayed in the wind, and inside his elegantly drooping eyes, his eyes, resembling fresh blades of grass, sparkled finely.
The mysterious beauty, reminiscent of a painting, grabbed my heart.
‘You were looking at the wheat.’
Even as his thoughts surged, Elric was too quick to open his mouth.
It was the same for not only Elric but also her.
The two people just stared at each other.
Elric felt a sense of déjà vu.
It felt like I had faced this situation exactly around this time last year.
– why…
It was a sense of playfulness that was rising.
Elric asked humorously, trying to swallow the laughter that was about to burst out.
“How come you are here?”
Then the woman, Tyria, closed her lips for a moment and let out a long breath.
Soon, her gaze turned directly towards herself.
What was painted on her face was a bright smile.
“She is your wife, so she is here.”
Elric approached Tyria.
Tyria also walked towards Elric.
The two people hugged each other.
Body temperature and breath exchanged, and the warmth of the sunset wheat field settled on it.
In the end, that was the story.
“I’m back.”
The wife was waiting in the wheat field.
Still beautiful. It was just a question.
