Chapter 315

[ 315. Sunset, Sunrise ]

#315

“...Sarante?”

Ronan let out a puzzle. It’s been a long time, but it was a face I’ll never forget. The memory of fighting Brygia, an executive of Nebula Klazie, with only the upper half of his body on his back was still vivid.

“Oh my God, how long has this been?”

Ronan’s face brightened. At least until he died, he thought he would be stoned. Oh, since I’m dead now, did it end up similar? He strode out, took Sarante’s hand and shook it up and down.

“how have you been doing? It sure looks good with legs. Have you stopped being Ophelia’s pillow? No wait, the fact that you and the general are here... wasn’t I dead?”

I was so happy that the words came out more than usual. After all, they were comrades who risked their lives to fight together. Sarante was silent and staring at Ronan with a benevolent smile.

“But why haven’t you said anything since before?”

Feeling uncomfortable belatedly, Ronan tilted his head. The atmosphere was different from when we met before.

Should I say I’ve become more aloof? It was common for Jangsaeng species such as elves and dragons to show such behavior, but beyond that, I felt a mysterious impression that I couldn’t explain. Adeshan, who had been quietly holding her hands behind her back, opened her mouth.

“That person is not someone you know. corporal.”

“yes? What is that...”

“I just borrowed the appearance of someone familiar to you. Be polite.”

It was an unfamiliar sound. At that moment, Sarante’s appearance dissipated like mist and transformed into an amorphous halo of light. The overall bluish coloration was similar to that of a mother seen on an unknown planet.

“What the fuck...!”

Ronan’s eyes widened. It was before he did anything. The rushing light enveloped Ronan.

“......!”

At that moment, memories that had never been experienced flowed into Ronan’s head. At the boundary between the universe and the stars, an unknown group of lights was fighting a certain giant. A species that has now disappeared along with Abel. He was significantly larger than other giants and had eight wings hanging from his back.

“This.”

Ronan sighed. The hulking man fighting the halo was undoubtedly the former king of the giants. The existence that started the whole story by falling in the village of the savior. The various scars left on the corpse were carved at that time.

Memories ended with the king of giants falling to the ground. The cluster of lights gathered again and changed into the shape of Sarante. Ronan, who instinctively realized what the existence in front of him was, exclaimed softly.

“...Seniel.”

Instead of answering, Sarante smiled. I’ve heard it many times since I lived my second life. A great soul that transcends time and dwells in will.

Sarante pointed to Ronan’s heart before he turned into a rock and said that Seniel dwelled here. Why did it only appear now? what’s going on?

It was in the midst of Ronan’s confusion at the question that raised his head inside out. Adeshan opened her mouth.

“Calm down, corporal. I will tell you everything.”

“Damn what the hell happened?”

“I don’t have time, so I’ll explain quickly. First of all, he is the one who gave me the orb to turn back time.”

“yes?”

Ronan’s face hardened at the shocking fact. I thought it was a secret that I would never find out.

“Seniel was predicting the disaster that would happen due to the giants. However, I exhausted too much power while fighting the giant’s ancestors. So, with the remaining power, he made a marble that could turn back time, and delivered it to a legitimate person who could prevent the destruction of the planet, that is, to me.”

“Are you asking me to believe it now?”

“I am just telling the truth. I happened to pick up this marble at the end of my first life. On a battlefield that has been devastated by giants...”

Adeshan nodded. Now it was a story of the distant past. Crawling across the battlefield with her limbs severed, she found the orb in a hollow where corpses and mud mixed.

She swallowed the marble, and from then on, her life to overthrow the giant began to repeat itself. Ronan, who discovered the idiot, shrugged his eyebrows.

“But the general... you didn’t know anything. Not to mention the king of the giants, the fact that there are only three of them...”

“I also received the full story of the incident a little while ago. Seniel didn’t help me with anything other than giving me a marble. I dare to infer that you did not have the strength to do so.”

Hearing those words, Sarante nodded. It probably hit the spot. It was quite nasty to put on a very faceless face.

“Then... what exactly is the identity of the author named Seniel? god?”

“I do not know either. Why don’t you tell me at all? I think it might be something similar, but...”

“You’re buying things very expensive. If you tell me, where will it go?”

Ronan mumbled. I wanted to know the exact identity, not the will or soul. At that time, Sarante’s body, which had been scratching his head, exploded again in the form of a halo.

“What?!”

“what...!”

Ronan and Adeshan were shocked. It was a violent movement I had never seen before. A voice indistinguishable from the gender resounded from somewhere.

【great. You deserve it.]

It was a sweeter voice than any voice I’ve ever heard. Wide scattered light swirled around. Soon after, unfamiliar memories began to pour into the two of them, just as Ronan had experienced a moment ago.

“oh my god.”

However, the scale was different this time. In just a few seconds, Ronan and Adeshan were injected with the history from the birth of the stars to the present. It didn’t take long. Adeshan, who was suffering from dizziness in the aftermath of the memory transfer, muttered while holding her forehead.

“The...soul of the world?”

“It kills me.”

Ronan also couldn’t stand it and shed admiration at the identity beyond imagination. It seemed like he knew why he struggled so hard to stop the giants. I don’t know what to say exactly because it’s such an esoteric existence, but to put it as simply as possible, Seniel was the soul of the star they live in.

“Let’s meet again.”

Adeshan did not answer. She was making a strange expression, neither laughing nor crying. The estranged consciousness was eventually cut off. Adeshan, who confirmed that Ronan’s existence had disappeared, murmured in a low voice.

“bye. my first love.”

The voices of those who left were ringing in her ears. I could feel the people who lost my mother and two older brothers on the battlefield coming out to meet me.

Adeshan, now completely invisible, turned her back. Soon after, she wiped away the tears and started walking towards the place where those who left had to go.

“Ronan!”

“Huh!”?

Surprised by someone’s cry, Ronan opened his eyes. My head was dizzy as if I had just woken up from a long sleep. As my blurry vision became clearer, the brightening sky entered my eyes.

‘Here...’

The morning air was cold. I was used to the arrangement of the clusters of stars remaining in the sky. It seemed that he had really come back. Ronan, who was still looking at the sky, clenched his fists.

‘General.’

The moment of parting flickered before my eyes. Now that Seniel, who dwelled in his heart, had also disappeared, nothing remained to connect him with his first life.

The loneliness I felt for the first time in my life was the car I was trying to raise my head. Suddenly, a familiar voice rang from right next to me.

“They are alive! Ronan is alive!”

“Assel...?”

Ronan slowly turned his head. Asher was looking down at himself with watery eyes. Familiar faces came into view next to him. Everyone, including the friends from the limited-class adventure club, surrounded him.

“you idiot. I was worried...!”

Confirming that Ronan was awake, Marya covered her face with both hands. A trembling voice leaked out through the cracks between the fingers. Sheeta and Braum were already wailing like wild animals.

“Pal-wook! Boom woo!”

“Ughhh! Heh heh heh!”

“...joy.”

Schlieffen, who had come to his senses before he knew it, was standing beside him. He hid his tears by turning his head the other way. At that moment, Erill jumped on top of Ronan, who was just about to get up.

“My little brother! Aaaaaang!”

“sister.”

“Are you okay now? do you have any pain? Yes, I’m afraid you’ll go wrong, sister...!”

Iril burst into tears as he hugged Ronan by the nape of his neck. My eyes were swollen from so much crying, but it was beautiful nonetheless. Butterfly Roze, who wiped his face once, spat out.

“...are you alive?”

“The name line is tough. bantling.”

Zaifa, who was right next to him, groaned. Dragons, including Navardoze and Orsay, were also keeping their seats. Suddenly, right next to Ronan, I heard a voice that I deeply missed.

“Ronan.”

Ronan’s eyes widened. As he slowly turned his head, Adeshan, who was sitting by his bedside, caught his eye. The traces of tears were clearly visible on her white cheeks.

“Adeshan...”

“I’m glad you came back.”

Adeshan silently stroked Ronan’s head. A warm smile, like the one before, crept across her lips. Ronan, who had been looking at her quietly, opened his mouth.

“... did you leave?”

Adeshan’s expression hardened for a moment. It was not difficult to understand the intent of the question. Biting her lower lip, she nodded.

“...huh.”

There were no more voices in her head. The general has completely left. Ronan, who seemed to conform, whispered as he embraced Adeshan.

“thank you.”

“me too. that Ronan. People are waiting.”

Adeshan laughed again. Ronan, who understood the meaning, stood up. As his vision increased, he could see the brutally destroyed wasteland and the Allied soldiers surrounding him.

“There. Aren’t you awake?”

“My God, really...!”

The soldiers who saw Ronan began to hum. They were all waiting for Ronan to wake up. His brows narrowed in the midst of the growing murmur.

“That... Damn it...”

The twinkling eyes of the soldiers were burdensome. I felt like I had to say something, but nothing came to mind. Damn, I’m not very good at public speaking.

Scratching his head, he spat out.

“...everyone had a hard time.”

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

thunderous cheers erupted from all directions. As if they had promised, they threw the objects they were holding high into the sky.
