You.....I will kill you henituse!!!

The white star yelled as his disappearing body tried to to rip cale's heart with the dragon slayers sword

Cale who didn't have any ounce of energy widen his eyes as the black dragon flew up Infront of him like a bullet and got his heart ripped out.

"Ha...hahaha.....at least....I killed that puny annoying...dragon...before... I...die...." The white star had finally completely disappeared.

Shook.

Cale eyes were shaking while he held the baby dragon's body

"Ah...ah..no...R..Raon..no..open ...open your damn eyes Raon!!"

"R-raon Nim...n..no..."
Choi han who was behind Cale couldn't move

While clopeh was frozen as well

Everything. Everything had happened in an instant. As soon as Cale stabbed WS he tried to stab him back but somehow like a bullet Raon came to save his human.

"..Human... don't die okay..?" The little boy muttered his last words as he closed his eyes leaving the man he called human speechless

"Ah...ah..no.. Raon..."

"C-cale-nim..! T-the p-powers..!"
Clopeh who came back to his senses saw the powers slowly getting sucked by the sealed god and quickly spoke

Choi han wanted to beat clopeh right now but clopeh wasn't wrong if the powers get sucked into the sealed god it'll be more disastrous

"..."
Cale silently stood up after putting the baby boy in the ground and grabbed all the ancient powers in a blink of an eye all the powers were absorbed by Cale

....

After he finally re-sealed the sealed god in god of death's book he walked towards the lifeless baby's body and picked him up.

❮Rosalyn and Mary had left the temple before anything happened at Cale's order so they didn't know anything about Raon.❯

Choi han didn't know what to say, he was silently crying, no tears were uncontrollably flowing down from his eyes as he tried to keep a straight face.

Clopeh was slightly crying as well.
He didn't care much about the dragon he thought sacrifices were important for a legend to be born but knowing how his legend loved the boy he couldn't help but feel bad for the boy as well....for god's sake it's a child who was barely 6 this year.

Cale was completely silent with a emotionless face.....

Ah.....it's exactly the same as before....he... Raon....had died while trying to protect him....just like his two hyungs...all of them are dead because of Him

'I am sad'

'I want to express it but I can't'

'I can't...no ....I'm not able to..'

Cale, No Kim Rok Soo who had never experienced love, grief or anything does not know how to express his emotions.
Kim Rok Soo who had never experienced parental love doesn't understand why others love him ...no...not parental love....he had never experienced any kind of love...he was unable to do so ... everyone he showed an ounce of likeness had died miserablely. Yes...they all died and it's all because of Him
It's all Him fault
Indeed
He shouldn't have loved them
He knew everything yet he tried to love them
'Selfish bastard' is what Cale thinks of himself.

......

Not that long after Cale picking the boy up the temple suddenly shook.

The outside.

Screaming

Lots and lots of screaming.

The wall had that cracked previously from sealing the god finally torn down revealing everything that's happening outside.

Ah....ah....they....they are all dying...ha...HA..! THEY'RE ALL DEAD HA!

Cale couldn't control himself anymore

Choi han was lost in despair as soon as he saw what's happening outside

Clopeh froze as well

What's happening? Let's see..~

Rosalyn Cage the sun god's saint along with other creatures who're not a creature of the dark were getting eaten by the black despair / mana that had exploded

Eruhaben was doing everything possible to stop the despair trembling his hands were trembling he put his life in the line and used every ounce of his mana.
He then saw the wall of the temple break down he was happy at first since the video cut out after they saw Cale stab WS and shortly after that Raon disappeared but everything crumbled as soon as he saw A crying Choi han who couldn't move a sobbing clopeh who was frozen as well and a emotionless Cale who was embracing.....the... lifeless body...of the black dragon....ah.....

Rasheel , Mila and her son who saw Raon's lifeless body as well we're frozen ....
Eruhaben's eyes were shaking violently he had lost all his rationality his mana was going crazy

The three dragons realized something at that moment.

The ancient dragon.

He had gone berserk.

The strongest dragon currently in the city had gone berserk.

The pink dragon's eyes were shaking he couldn't focus on shielding the citizens anymore..the baby dragon he had called dongsaeng is now laying lifelessly in the hero's hand he had followed.

Mila didn't know what to do anymore
She didn't know whether to save the citizens from the liquid despair or save them from the berserk ancient dragon that had gone completely crazy or to take his son and flee

After a second of thinking she teleported her son away to a safe place and carried on with her duty as the second oldest dragon in the city she needed to do this

Rasheel's mind was chaotic right now

'no...that kid..! Why..!? Why did it die!? Where is his heart!?!?! WHAT THE HELL DO I DO NOW!?!'

'Huh?'

Smile.

The red head carrying the lifeless child's body was smiling like a crazy person

Rasheel couldn't think of anything else other then...'Crazy...that human has gone crazy...just like this ancient dragon..!'

In the end Mila and Rasheel defeated Eruhaben who had gone crazy and took their last breath as the three tired figures fell into the liquid despair.

One by one yes...one by one everyone and everything died

Even clopeh and Choi han who finally got back to their senses and left the temple to help their allies had died miserablely

Cale who was continuously using the silver shield had failed to protect his family

His head ...it was clouded by voices and despair..ah ...such a pitiful man .. couldn't even save his family...

The liquid despair had finally disappeared on its own as it was done eating everything in the puzzle city.

Cale who was inside the temple couldn't do anything as he watched everyone die

Some were lucky to teleport out while others couldn't leave their friends behind and died with them...one of then being the crown prince...yeah...he couldn't leave his instructor Nim and his dark elf family now could he? Absolutely not if his dark elf family are dieing trying to absorb the deadlier dead mana then he who's a quarter dark elf help too? But sadly it was too strong for the poor quarter dark elf and got eaten by it instead of eating it.

How funny.
Truly enjoyable.
What a amazing ending for the story of the hero and his family.
...

It's been 100 years since the war ended.

Today Cale was 120 years old. Today was the day everyone had lost their lives.

"Uncle Cale....will you visit their grave today with me again or go alone...?" The Dark elf emperor asked with a quiet voice

"Karo, never forget that you are the emperor, you cannot cower like this"

"I-I'm not a cower uncle Cale..! It's just..."'It's just I'm afraid you'll try to harm yourself again today...like you did every year for the last 100 years'

"Ha....Karo, No your majesty the emperor, today marks the day of me finishing my role as the supreme commander of the military and as the sworn brother of his highness Alberu crossman"

"W-what..?"

"Retirement, I am retiring your majesty, I've shared everything in my knowledge to you and everyone else for this empire to run smoothly for the next thousands of years"

"Ah...I see uncle no commander Cale , then I will release you from the duties of the military and everything else"

Cale smiled making Karo flinch slightly

"Nephew Karo, rule over the empire nicely and make your Uncle Alberu proud alright? And remember, you are fated to be here"

"Yes uncle...thank you..."
Karo replied shyly

Cale smiled brightly once again
"Ah...I'm so afraid I won't be able to meet them in the afterlife..." Cale said as his body slowly became lifeless and slowly fell to the ground.

Karo who was smiling back to Cale trembled as if his whole world was destroyed he quickly ran to Cale and caught his body

"U-uncle!? Wh-why..!?"

"Ha...tell Dodori to take care of himself okay...? And you don't cry..."
Cale had said his last sentence as he closed his eyes

Drip drip

Tears were uncontrollably flowing down from Karo's eyes as he hugged Cale tightly he knew something was wrong yet he couldn't prevent it.

Slam!

The door slammed open and Dodori the pink dragon had a crying expression as if he knew Cale had died.

"I-i..I KNEW IT..!! H-HE HE DOESN'T HAVE HIS ANCIENT POWERS..!"

"C-cale wake up..!" Dodori ran up Cale and karo crying

"I-it's all my fault..! I shouldn't have left his side..!"

"D-dodori-nim... please... don't blame yourself... please..." The dark elf sobbed as he said those words holding Cale's cold body with shaky hands

Today's date will be forever engraved into the citizens hearts as the day where they lost their past hero's and their last remaining hero the crimson commander.
