he is… No, the angel slowly approached Dawn. A light so brilliant that she couldn’t open her eyes covered Dawn’s body.

There was no pain or suffering. It enveloped him as warmly as the dawn light after a night of cleaning.

But Dawn could not raise her head.

“sorry. Angel… “In the end, I failed to keep the seal.”

It was a feeling of guilt that I had suppressed for a long time. The seal of Mignium created by an angel sacrificing himself.

Not only did Dawn fail to keep the seal, but she also received Mignium’s blessing.

But still, the angel did not blame him.

-It’s okay. It wasn’t your fault.

The angel’s voice penetrated directly into Dawn’s mind. Just like the last time he remembered it, so long ago.

-I know. Just as birth was not your choice, death was also not your choice. If the player didn’t kill you… You most likely sealed her away forever.

“Angel… .”

-And in the end, you did more than that.

“… “More than that?”

-Yes, you have already achieved the impossible. Changed her mind. I don’t know if it’s just a whim or a permanent change… I can still feel it. That she’s watching you.

“… .”

Mignium is still watching? Dawn glanced at the endless space.

“Angel, what is that… .”

-No, boy, that’s not my name. I’ve been hearing about that mistranslation for a long time, but today I’m happy to correct it. My name is…

The next moment, the angel folded his wings and the light surrounding him faded.

-It’s Khepri.

Khepri? As soon as Dawn raised her head, a large dung beetle flopped down on the seat next to her.

Angels sitting side by side on a dirt floor covered with thin grass… No, Khepri put his hand on Dawn’s shoulder.

-You probably already know the name.

One of the three sun gods in Egyptian mythology and the rising god of dawn symbolized by a dung beetle.

Dawn, faced with the sudden truth, looked blankly at Khepri.

“but… Everyone knows about Khepri, including me. The records remain intact. That god… He is still in heaven.”

-Yes, that’s me at this time.

“… .”

This time zone? As Dawn furrowed her brows, Khepri added softly.

-You may have already noticed this to some extent, but you and I… It came from another time.

4,000 years old, the seal that felt like eternity, Seti, Jeon Yun-seong, who I saw in my fantasy, and… The son of a saint who could never be born.

Dawn asked with a feeling that something was connected.

“Then this world…” “Is this some kind of parallel world?”

-No, it’s the same world. Just go back in time, make a different choice, go through a different process… We’re just heading towards the same ending. To paraphrase, we are just going out and coming back to the flowing river.

“If it’s a river, fate?”

-Yes, some call it fate, and some call it a scenario. It’s a difficult story, right?

After speaking up to that point, Khepri paused for a moment. The dung beetle’s deep eyes looked directly at Dawn’s face, not at the sky or horizon.

-But there is no need to worry about it now. Because you are not bound by fate. You just have to choose freely.

“… .”

-That is… It was what your mother wanted. Whatever the cost, she wanted to give you a choice. and… Acknowledging my request was your first choice.

Dawn could not say anything. That was because her head was so complex. That’s why Khepri’s voice was the only sound that rang through her dreams.

-I am still grateful for that fact. If you hadn’t made that choice… How much blood must have been shed. For that alone, you deserve everyone’s gratitude.

“… .”

-So, boy, I would like to give you one more choice.

As Khepri said this, he moved the hand on his abdomen and pointed down to the ground. As Dawn’s eyes followed the hand, something was seen beyond the grass and dirt.

The first thing I saw was myself.

A miserable sight, with the skin split apart and blood flowing out from between them.

Duhakan desperately tried to wrap his body, but it wasn’t even a temporary solution. he dies In return for packing a lot of power into a short period of time.

Khepri spoke as Dawn felt strange emotions as she watched herself dying.

-The first option is to end here.

“… .”

-You have already been good enough. There is no longer any need to share the pain of this wrong world.

“… .”

-Like Ekemo said, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to put a period. You know that too, right? That life is a series of pain. If I don’t want to go through that kind of pain, I’ll close her stage like this and follow her up to her sky. Without any worries or concerns.

When Dawn didn’t respond, Khepri quietly looked away. This time, I followed his gaze and saw countless Hiraria.

Hiraria burning, collapsing, and being destroyed.

In some places Ekemo was rampaging, in others Hitler was rampaging. However, it was a terrible sight, with citizens becoming food for monsters alive and wizards being placed alive in the devil’s stomach.

-The second choice is to run away.

“… .”

-This city was planned to die like this from the beginning. Is it worth giving your life for a city like this? If that’s the case, just run away with the person you love. I will help you.

Dawn didn’t answer this time either. He just quietly watched the burning faces of Hiraria.

I saw repeated deaths and failures, and countless people struggling amidst them.

But no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find a single person.

Yes, the city’s end was the fate of the world without him. And now he…

was here

Also, the Death Knights who sacrifice their lives, the Knight Commander who seeks honor, the movie director who became a knight, and Seti.

It was still here.

Enduring the unbearable, facing death, breathing heavily… It was alive.

That was enough. Dawn did not discuss the cruelty of fate or the pain of life.

There was no need to discuss it.

The fact that they were still fighting was worth risking his life for.

Yes, he took up a sword for that. He fought because the joy of his loved ones was still his, just as the vengeance of the dead was still his.

I didn’t know if this was an epiphany, or a recollection of something I already knew, but as I thought about it, I suddenly became convinced that this wasn’t my only feeling.

He clenched his fists and looked at the God who wanted to protect the world, and the God who came down to this earth for him.

-A boy?

“… “My name is not Boy.”

-then?

“I am… The youngest member of the cleaning guild, the dung beetle of Incheon, the liberator of the dragon, the friend of the dwarves, the disciple of Corvus, the liberator of Drathereal, the savior of the empire, the hero of this generation, the son-in-law of the World Tree, the lover of a saint… It is the dawn of Seti.”

-I lived a very tight life. too long.

“There are more, but I’ve shortened them. And, should I just be the one who presented two options that I would not choose?”

Then Khepri’s head tilted slightly. She felt like the dung beetle was laughing at dawn.

-I refuse to end it or run away… It’s surprising, but I feel fortunate that I came down to this earth for you.

“Me too, an angel… No, I feel fortunate to have met Khepri.”

-Destiny is the greatest luck you can get in life.

Khepri muttered that and stood up. Soon, standing on the lawn, he looked down at Dawn and said.

-Now that I have realized my divine destiny, my body will soon recover. the problem is… It’s time.

“How long will it take?”

-maybe… Even if you use the skills of that strange mustachioed dictator, it will take a good three days. Because it’s like being reborn.

“… .”

-Okay, so I’ll give you the third option here.

Khepri is perfect! He flicked his hand. Then, the grass fields in the image disappeared all at once, and a pure white space appeared.

A space filled with mana similar to, or rather identical to, the veins of the Magic Tower.

The golden dung beetle stood in the center of the place and spoke.

-Destroy the Magic Tower with your own hands.

***

[Foolish, foolish.]

The head of Dumea frowned at the sound that pierced his ears. And at the same time, an explosion was heard to the right.

That was the sound of Sancho unleashing a volcanic blast and blowing away dozens of monsters at once. It was a great attack, but it was nothing more than a shovel on a white sand beach.

-There are too many.

The head of Dumea gritted his teeth and struck down his sword. The monsters in front were cut into pieces and blood was sprayed out.

-This is it. If we catch ten more, it will be a new record.

Despite his slyness, there was no answer. This was because even Bella Diva, who normally would have said something, did not have time to open her mouth.

Kwaaaa – !!!

At that moment, a beam of light fired from Ekemo’s mouth narrowly passed overhead.

When the head of the Dumea family turned around in surprise, Varana’s left upper body was blown away.

-I’m glad I’m already dead. She would have been fatally injured if she had survived.

-Shut up and swing your sword!

After finally hearing the answer she wanted, the head of Dumea willingly did so.

However, no matter how much I swung my sword, the monsters filling the horizon did not decrease, and only the slippery blood and flesh under my feet increased.

It was a harbinger of death. Death was closing in on him.

I wanted to save at least the surviving knight commander and Sancho and send them away, but the two men seemed to have sensed that this would happen and fought more fiercely than anyone else.

Kwaaang – !!!

Explosive volcanic eruption. It was the martial art that suited this moment best. If there was no knight commander who could deal with Ekemo’s massive body, he would have arrived at the Magic Tower long ago.

But that was just a waste of time. The enemy’s mana was constantly regenerating as if it were infinite, and the leader’s stamina was slowly running out.

The head of Dumea felt deep regret.

A feat so great that it must be sung by minstrels, or, in modern times, singers, ends in failure.

-Well, I guess it’s okay since I saved Dawn’s life.

He laughed until the end. One of the monsters was stabbing him in the thigh.

-house owner!! no!

As his body tilted and fell, Belladiva’s cry was heard. It’s stupid, so I’ll just keep my position.

The dam that had held on so narrowly collapsed.

Varana, Belladiva, and even Sancho rushed to save the matriarch who had lost her leg. It was pointless. When you are pushed back, you need to make the decision to abandon the wounded soldiers.

-You idiots! Leave me alone and stay where you are!

The matriarch shouted as she saw the monster’s teeth sink into Belladiva’s side. However, he could not restore the collapsed defense with a single shout.

A claw sinks into Varana’s neck. The Duke’s arm was cut off while he was loading, and Sancho, holding a shield, was crushed by the bodies of numerous monsters.

finished. The matriarch took the last breath of her life. The abominable beast’s feet cast a shadow over his head, and Ekemo’s voice rang out.

[Now, let’s put an end to this pain.]

After all, the last thing I hear is his voice. The Dumea family felt deep sorrow. In fact, she didn’t want to die like this.

I wanted to see the wedding of my great-granddaughter and my daughter – excluding the minor issue of whether a concubine could have a wedding – and I wanted to close my eyes with my daughter at the same time.

However, although there are satisfying deaths in the world, there is no desired death. Now he returns to his grandmother…

-… ?

At that time, the monster that was trying to take a picture of him stopped. The guys were staring blankly at the other side.

[…] Dawn?]

Ekemo muttered slowly. Isn’t it time for the sun to rise yet? The Dumea matriarch turned her head, blinking her blood-covered eyes.

Varana, whose neck was shaking, Belladiva, whose side was being eaten away, the Duke who was resisting with a single pistol, Sancho who was moaning under dozens of monsters, and the knight commander who was standing on the rooftop preparing for the next attack.

[The sun… Is it floating?]

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked blankly at the magic tower. And the moment a huge sphere of light rose through the magic tower, everyone realized.

Finally, dawn dawned.
