Chapter 117: End

After I defeated the Goddess I fell to the ground on my knees. I had exerted almost all of my mana onto that series of moves. My body was now full of burns and my bones were in a rather bad state. The pocket dimension started to crumble in front of me. Once I was out of the pocket dimension I was back in the same spot I was in before the Goddess teleported me.

In front of me was Rain-senpai who was looking at me. What was I doing before the time stopped?... Oh right, I remember now.

I removed the pierced earth from senpai's hands and feet. Senpai looked at me in surprise. He must be shocked to see all the wounds on my body. Still, I didn't explain anything to him as I held out my hand and with a smile, I spoke to him.

"Everyone will help you senpai."

Still confused, senpai looked at me. He didn't say anything despite obviously wanting to ask about my wounds. He hesitated for a few seconds before he stretched out his hand. As senpai's hands were about to reach mine, a rain of spears suddenly came down. I wasn't able to react on time nor was I even able to sense the attack coming. I was too tired from the fight with the Goddess that my other senses had dulled. The spears had pierced my lungs as well as my intestines. On the other hand, right in front of me, senpai's heart was pierced, even his [auto regeneration] can't save him from that.

I couldn't believe it even in my weakened state I shouldn't be this open. Am I going to die here, is this were I fall?

Have I failed once more, will my life once again end in failure?!

No! No! Are you f*cking with me, I won't allow for something like this to happen!

As I tried to pull out the spears from my body I looked in the direction where the spears came from.

The person I saw wasn't someone I expected to see here. A pink-haired lady was standing at the hole I made earlier, this person was none other than Louise Senddan, a dorm mate during my first year.

She was looking at me with a pained expression on her face. I wanted to ask why she did this, yet not a sound could come out of my mouth. Instead, it was my blood that came out of my mouth as I started coughing.

"I promise I will save you Shun." She said my former name! I tried to reach out to her yet before I could do anything another spear pierced my heart. I tried to circulate my mana to heal the wound as I continue to struggle.

My consciousness was fading, a scene flashed before my very eyes.

I, Tsukiyomi, Sarah, Gerard, and Eri, were back home in the field of flowers. We were practicing like we did every day.

Mom and dad, came with some snacks, wanting to join in the fun.

While we took a break, a black dragon came down from the sky, it was Tanith.

She landed beside us, she was carrying, Willa, Terumi, Serillia, Eva, Clarise. Leto, and even Rain.

Serillia greeted my parents and proclaimed that she was my fiancée. Hering what she said my parents started crying tears of blood, not wanting to lose out even Eva, Eri, Tanith, and Tsukiyomi, said they were also planning to be my wives. My mom and dad fell unconscious after hearing that.

Sarah went to their side to fan them.

Everyone then started laughing, Gerard then smacked my back and asked, so who will you make your first wife?

The scene disappeared in front of me. All those happy smiles disappeared, as I felt numb all over. I felt like I was crying, but I couldn't tell.

Damn it, so this is how it ends for this incarnation. I did get to battle a Goddess and I did have fun at the end, but still damn... Tsk, I hope the next incarnation does better than me.

I was about to sleep, a very long sleep.

I hope when I wake up, I'll see them again.....

Louise Senddan was observing the whole situation from the very beginning. She whispered in the ear of the now-deceased Edge. "This is not enough to release you from your chains. Still, I promise to save you." She left the scene with those words.

Tsukiyomi rushed inside the throne room as Jester finally let them through saying it was over.

When Tsukiyomi felt Edge's link disappear she felt a great ominous premonition. So she quickly entered the throne room, the moment the doors opened what she saw made her knees feel weak.

Edge, as well as Rain, were stabbed by multiple spears. Tsukiyomi walked unsteadily to her beloved's side. She couldn't hear the screams of sorrow from her companions. She broke the spears that held her beloved.

He was now in her arms. The boy she loved laid in her hands lifeless. She couldn't believe it, this person, her beloved was literally the strongest person, who in this world had the strength to do this? Tsukuyomi whose thoughts were in total disarray hugged Edge's lifeless body. The once warm person was now cold as ice, Tsukiyomi couldn't help but cry. She who hadn't cried in the whole century she had lived, cried like a little child.

Edge her most beloved, was now somewhere dark, and cold. The same place she had been, as she waited for him in those ruins.

As she held him tightly, a new resolve grew inside of her.

'I will not allow this! I will not allow the Gods' to take anything from me anymore!' Tsukiyomi looked at the moon above and gritted her teeth.

'I have promised to fix you up, every time you get broken! I will do as I promised my love!'

Tsukiyomi kissed Edge's lifeless body. The silver moon etched on Edge's chest started to shine brightly. Not only that but the very moon and stars themselves shone brightly before the two.

"No matter how long it takes! I swear to wait for you Edge! Our contract will stay, as long as your soul lives, I will wait for you, my love. Until the very moon itself falls from the sky."

Tsukiyomi declared her oath to the moon above.
