Chapter 640 - Let's End This!

-----

As the war against the Demon God King in the surface continued, the little Violet who was helping everyone by healing them with her bright, pink-colored magic, suddenly felt something weird.

She looked down the depths of that hole in the ground.

Her eyes felt strangely sorrowful…

She felt as if something was lost.

"Mama…?"

A strong concern grew in her little heart… however, she recalled her mother's words.

"Remember that I always will love you, my little treasure… Take good care of mother Ditoyle and… Remember to always look up front proudly… Never look back."

Little tears began to flow out of her eyes as she began to cry. But she stopped looking down and looked in front of what was happening now. She furrowed her little eyebrows and contained her tears, putting everything she had to aid the rest of her allies…

Ditoyle was at her side, realizing that her daughter had felt something odd…

She gripped her hands tightly, as she continued to bathe the monster before her with long-ranged divine magic attacks.

"Aurora…"

…

Meanwhile, Veronica and Ervas reached the depths of the World's Origin Core, as they met with the core of the Demon God King.

And what greeted them was… a boy?

This boy, they barely recognized it. It was Myhner, the Hero the Necromancer fragment had taken over.

They knew this after looking over the memories of the clones they ate. Although such memories were fragmented a lot and didn't included the information about the pool of miasma being a clone nor the plan, he had behind it.

But why?

Why was the Demon God King taking such a form?

"Why are you taking that form, you bastard? Do you think we'll pity you because you took the form of an innocent child?" asked Veronica.

"We'll kill you no matter what." Said Ervas.

"Quite a commendable effort you've put into it… I don't know why you're trying so hard to stop the world from ending." He said.

"Shut up and fight."

Ervas rushed first, his fists clashing over the Demon God King like powerful beams of light, penetrating his body continuously!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

The Demon God King defended by creating barriers of darkness, although most of them were broken apart, he received substantial damage.

"Why? Why are you trying to do this? Don't you realize it?" he asked.

"What would we fucking realize?! The only thing we had realized is that Aurora is dead, and that we are going to fucking kill you!" roared Veronica, rushing to the back of the Demon God King, as she kicked him in the head and then gave him a powerful punch in the chest!

CLASH!

"Nnnggh…!"

The boy fell over the floor, his body felt weak…

"You fools… You're really persistent… If it wasn't because of you two failures! You're going against the natural order of things… We must revive Kelsus and Anir! We must revive our former selves! You two are part of their original soul! You're THEM!" he roared.

The two split souls looked at him scornfully.

But the shocking news didn't made them falter as much as the Demon God King expected.

"We thought as much." Said Veronica.

"Yeah, there was a possibility that at the end, we really had something to do with this whole thing."

"W-What?! Even after knowing you were them… That you were the original being born from Chaos and  The One… you want to go against its resurrection?! Why don't you let me resurrect you? I was created by your remains to do this task! It is my purpose in life… I MUST do it! This is the next stage in your evolution!"

"To tell you the truth…"

"We don't give a damn."

CLASH!

The two split souls rushed forward towards the Demon God King, punching him continuously!

He tried to fight back with everything he had, absorbing the darkness around, releasing blasts of darkness, slashing claws of chaos, and everything…! But… they were still fighting to no end. Their souls were incredibly damaged… they were about to die!

Yet…

There was some blazing light within the so bright and strong!

He suddenly saw the strange illusion, a phantom, perhaps a mere hallucination… but it was there, behind them!

It was a fairy… smiling towards them with her eyes closed, illuminating them with such an undying resolution to fight!

The split souls fused together as their fists and kicks became stronger and faster, like flashing meteors continuously dropping over the Demon God King, his entire face was being disfigured!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

He suddenly felt utter horror!

"I-I am going to die…!" he thought, his eyes opening wide at this sudden realization.

FLASH!

The innermost Origin Cores of the two split souls merged into a gigantic glowing light, flashing and crushing the last remains of the Demon God King, dissipating his darkness, as he felt utmost agony!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"N-No… UUAAGGH…! NOO! I… I don't want to die! W-Wait! Aaaagggh…! UUUAAGGH…! UUUAAAAAAAAGGGHH…! GGGRYYYYYYYYEEEEAAAAAGGHHH…!"

"DIE!"

BOOOOOMMM!!!

The roar of the fused split souls impacted the very depths of the Demon God King, as if it were an order of the very original Kelsus and Anir, a terrifying dread took over his entire being, as he began to finally fall apart into pieces, and completely die!

FLASH!

The entire World's Origin Core was bathed in bright golden light, all darkness dissipated into ashes, and the dark colors over the large, glowing sphere dissipated!

Sparkling lights coated the environment, as the split souls didn't seemed to smile after defeating him, however, but looked over, the darkness was gone, but she… she had not come back.

They flew outside of the World's Origin Core, which had merged with them now, and once more got inside of their physical bodies.

And there it was.

At their side, after they separated… there was the sleeping body of a fairy.

It was motionless.

She seemed to be sleeping peacefully.

They rushed towards her, trying to revive her, they bathed her with healing spells, with anything they could find, but the flesh she felt behind was just that, flesh, it didn't possessed the soul.

Tears began to flow out of their eyes, their lips trembling.

The phantasmal Demon God King had disappeared as well, and everyone above was celebrating its death.

Many of their companions came to pick them up, but they were unwilling… they didn't wanted to move away.

Everyone then suddenly noticed that something had happened… and remained in silence.

"I'm sorry…! I am sorry!" cried Veronica, kissing Aurora's delicate hands.

"Nngh…! Damn it…!" muttered Ervas, as he tightly held Aurora's other hand.

Ditoyle and Violet slowly descended here, as Ditoyle began to call for Aurora.

"Aurora? Where are you?"

Her voice tore apart the hearts of Veronica and Ervas, they had to prepare themselves to tell her the truth…

"Mama? Mama?!"

Violet's little and innocent voice resonated through the battlefield, looking for her second mother.

Until they finally reached the place.

"Aurora!"

Ditoyle rushed with Violet in her arms, kneeling in the ground, and looking at her asleep.

"Wake up! What are you doing sleeping now? Come on!"

"Mom!"

"…"

"Come on! Haha… Aurora, don't play jokes on us…!"

"I-It's not funny…"

"…"

"C-Come on…"

"Wake up!"

"…"

"Ah… You… idiot…"

"Sniff… Buaaaaahh!"

"…"

"She's…" muttered Veronica.

"She's gone." Said Ervas.

Ditoyle and Violet looked at Aurora's body sleeping peacefully.

"But she said… She was going to come back…!"

Ditoyle could barely believe them.

"S-She said we were going to eat together…"

Violet still held hope for her mother to be alive, even now…

"I'm sorry…" sighed Veronica.

"She sacrificed herself for us… she gave us… one last chance to defeat the Demon God King…" said Ervas.

"She died smiling." Said Veronica.

"She told us to tell you that, she loved you two." Said Ervas.

Ditoyle hugged Violet tightly, as the two began to cry desperately.

Their tears bathed Aurora's face, as they continued to cry… and cry…

The world seemed to be finally on peace.

Everything was so silent.

And there was even a bright morning sun rising in the horizon.

Yet… everyone, despite their victory, felt a strong sorrow within their hearts.

This war didn't came to an end without sacrifices.

Within a far away world, away from Kritias, the Real Kireina, the being that created Aurora, felt the presence of her strong little clone disappear.

"…She's gone?"

She fell silent, looking into the void.

"I guess… I would had done the same in her situation." She thought, smiling bitterly.
