True peace (4)

That moment, Evan crushed the core of the Devil with a familiar move, and the world came to a pause. Because so much energy was contained in it, that part of the world felt like an endless void. Everyone was forced to remain silent. In the face of the disappearance of the Devil sealed in the world for a long timeeveryone had no choice but to pay attention. To the final moments of the Devil, that had burst with Evans grasp.

Silence covered the Eternal Glacier. They were quietly thrilled and ecstatic by such an incredible Level Up upon the death of the Devil.

Wow, Im at a higher level, too. I guess I can still level up

Just as Evan enjoyed it with a light smile, suddenly there was a voice behind him talking. It was Evans followers.

But thats not it

Its not some slime

Edit this part later. Its the climax of the Scripture, so pay close attention.

Got it.

Evan didnt care about the local broadcasting. It was just that the energy of the Devil was completely lostindeed, after confirming that the existence of the Devil had disappeared without a single grain remaining, reality sank in.

Whoaits over.

Its done?

Really?

The Devil is

Master!

Belois, who had completed slaughtering not only the Devil but also all the monsters liberated on the land of the Eternal Glacier, could no longer bear it and flew into his arms.

Youve been patient, Lua. Good job.

Huhu, Masterhuhuhu, I missed you

I missed you, too. So much

Evan, who was sitting down, skillfully took Belois into his arms. Belois burst into tears and buried her face in his chest. It was dazzling to see them thinking about each other. It was a beautiful enough sight and would have ended with that if it were an ordinary fate, but unfortunately, there were many people in the world that couldnt accept it.

Thats not fair! Me too!

Get out of the way, cowardly traitors! Evan is mine for the time being!

Im sorry, but I cant give way either.

Masteeeeeeer!

Well, what, I was in his arms a little while ago. I dont want to claim ownership, but!

[This is how humans fight for men. I got a piece of good knowledge. Ill join you!]

As the women who loved Evan came at him at once, things became a mess. Evan and Lua quickly fell under the wave. Lua freaked out and took the plunge to protect them.

Calm down! What are you doing to the Master, whos tired from dealing with the Devil!

Shine, who rarely said the right words, pulled the women away from Evan. And then

Masteeeeer!

Suddenly, he burst into tears and hugged Evan.

Do you know how much trouble Ive had in Sherden without you? Why did you come so late!

Oh, Shine cowardly pushed us away for that!

Shine!?

Hey, now that were in this situation, lets all come together!

Wahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Commmandderrrr!

I love you, Commander!

Commander Oppa!

Things fell back into chaos. As all the Astray members, regardless of gender, stormed Evan, others simply gazed at them.

Godyou are so loved.

Sharay, who remained still the moment the Devil died, opened her eyes wide and looked sad as Evan was covered by many people. She wasnt as brazen as Fayna or Cattleya, who flew from the past together. The moment she found out that this was where he was supposed to be, she thought that she, a figure from the past, wasnt qualified to approach him.

What are you waiting for, Sharay? Go and hug him.

Then Redine, who approached her, spoke playfully and pushed her. Sharay stumbles away with her eyes wide.

The way you talk

Because the restrictions are completely lifted, and everything is back. But it feels really strange. You know youre my older sister, but on the other hand, you feel like a little girl, and youre happy.

As she spoke, Redine now had a glimpse of the witch Arpa, herself, in the past. Feeling a little closer to her, Sharay pouted as she let go of her words.

You know, but it doesnt change the fact that youre my little sister.

Yes, and Evan is my son.

Thats so mean; I didnt expect it.

Whoa, I didnt have the heart to expecthehe, hehe.

Haha.

The two witches ended up laughing. The play of time was heartless, and a little cruel, but the two were happy to stand face to face now.

I wish Naz was here.

Naz lived hard until the day she died. Weve given birth to a lot of witches, and theyve made preparations to help our Evan. And

Redine smiled low as she looked at Belois, who was in Evans arms and closing in on her other rivals.

There are descendants who look very much like Naz.

Yeah

Well, then go ahead.

Well, how could you do that in front of your sister?

If you dont go now, I wont let you go ever.

!

That word was the final straw. Sharay clenched her teeth and ran in a straight line toward Evan.

G-God! Me, me, too! I love you!

Haha, good times.

Redine, who increased the number of members of the mess, smiled happily as her sister tried to approach Evan and mix up with the others. Redine was finally able to put down the burden that she had been carrying all her life. At that moment, she felt her strength draining from her body. Her body, which was so light, feels as heavy as a thousand rocks. Noher soul was trying to free itself from her body.

Ahyes, will it be limited?

She had a hunch for herself, who had lived beyond human limits for a long time by abnormal means. As soon as the Devil died, she faced the limitations that she ignored a long time agothe fact that she will be defeated at this time. Killing the Devil was a long-standing goal of her life, so there was no complaint about it.

Having lived for so many years, she had no lingering feelings keeping her. There shouldnt be any. She thought there wouldnt bemaybe thats not something you can shake off so easily.

I dont like it either

If possible, she wanted to hug Evans children and then go. She didnt think she would be relieved until she saw Eric marry a nice girl. Elizabeth would be fine, right? Evan would have already taken all the steps. She felt sorry for Miriam until the end. The childish competitions between them probably hurt her.

Could Sharay be happy with Evan? She hoped she doesnt feel too much of her past because she deserves to be happy. Beloismaybe she was guessing. She felt sorry for burdening the kid so much. But she prepared a seat for her next to Evan.

So please accept the burden left by your mother-in-law.

Heshes a great guy, and you have Miriam anyway.

Youll do well without me.

I hope you dont feel sad.

No, actually, I want you to be sad.

I want you to cry a lot.

But also, I hope youll be happy without me.

I left a letter, but I wish I could say goodbye face to face.

No, I wouldnt have made it this far if I had.

It must have gotten a little ugly, so this was the answer.

Im sorry for being a selfish woman until the end.

Im sorry I didnt say goodbye properly.

StillI feel sad about this.

Ahh, really

I loved you.

Oh, that was close.

Huh?

When she closed her eyes while sending everything away, she heard her sons voice from a very close place. When she opened her eyes, Evan, previously buried in the crowd, now stood before Redine. Redine, who had already become half-transparent, tried to touch her sons cheek with a mischievous look.

Son, you cant force yourself to see what you dont want to see.

Dont pretend you dont know. I prepared everything.

Evan took something out of his arms, but Redine shook her head at it. Because she thought it was meaningless.

Evan, its life expectancy. Im facing a natural ending right now.

No, Ive seen you constrain yourself with that magic, and you didnt think Id prepare anything? Whats natural and is not natural is something that Im going to decide from now on.

Theres no such force.

My mothers son is a God. Hurry up and open your mouth, hurry up.

Overwhelmed by her sons glaring eyes, Redine opened her lips as she was told. Evan picked up a flask of violet-glowing liquid and dropped the contents carefully on her tongue.

Weve had a hard time watering down the Elixir, but thats probably enough.

Son, what did I drink just now?

Swallow, come on.

Gulp.

Right after the divine drink was passed down Redines throat, all her senses and magic returned to her body. Although the nature of the spell had deteriorated somewhat, only the vitality contained in it was preserved. Redine just blinked at the changes made by only a few drops of liquid.

No, how can this be

Isnt your son great?

Ahhh.

Following her smiling son, Redine smiled back. However, she couldnt stop her eyes full of tears.

I was going to leave in a nice way, but if you do this, Ill look pathetic.

Im sure father would think a little differently. And my brother, Miriam, and Elizabeth, too.

MadamMother.

Belois, who approached Evans side, held Redines cold hand.

You dont have to hide it now. Ill be by your side.

Thats my role as the first lady! Mother, Ill do a great job!

Arpa

As Belois and Arisha competitively held Redines hand, Sharay stared at Redine with resentful eyes.

If you had left like that, I would have resented you for the rest of my life.

AhahaI thought it was a long shot.

Evan thought he knew better than anyone, but he didnt. She just smiled vaguely, returning to life from her due death.

When you go back, you have to be honest with father and apologize. Im sure youve hurt him a lot.

Its my first time hearing a sermon from my sonbut I cant argue. Yes, I will.

But its okay because youre alive. The Devil died, and we lived. That is it.

Evan answered with a smile around his mouth, convinced that Redine had come back to life perfectly in every way.

Then lets go see Elizabeth.
