Hes gone. Completely.

Ronan, who checked for a pulse, nodded. Barka didnt move anymore. It was a pitiful death that suited a piece of trash, suffocating himself to death. Adeshan, who was silently staring at him, opened her mouth.

Is it really over this time?

If youre really anxious, we can do it like this. Just turn your head for a moment.

Ronan tugged at the hilt of his sword. Dozens of threads were drawn over Barkas remaining head and torso. Swoosh! As soon as Ronan finished his slash, Barkas body disintegrated into pieces.

You disgusting bastard.

This should have been enough for even Barkas grandfather to never come back to life. There was no trace of the wicked Weretiger in any part of the blood puddle, flesh scraps, or entrails. The fierce cold was already freezing the blood and flesh fragments solid.

Whoosh A chilling wind blew, freezing the wounds. Soon, Barkas existence would vanish, becoming a part of this icy sea.

After finishing his work, Ronan turned his back. Adeshan was watching the gruesome process without turning her eyes away. Ronan scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

I told you to turn your head. Its not a pleasant sight.

I wanted to see how the knot was tied.

Even though Adeshan would be unable to eat after having watched the scene, she remained composed. Ronan pursed his lips without saying anything.

A knot, huh.

Considering Barkas actions, she had essentially eliminated the enemy who had caused the death of her mother and brother. Coming to the northern end and marking the end with blood was no different. Suddenly, Adeshan, who was standing still, swayed like a reed.

Whats wrong, are you okay?

Yeah. Im just a bit tired

Adeshan awkwardly smiled. Though she said that, her pale complexion didnt look good.VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

It wasnt surprising. To control Barkas mind, she must have consumed tremendous strength and energy. As if to prove it, the power felt by Adeshan now was not even 20% of what it was before.

At that time, Adeshans power had become so strong that it seemed like she had borrowed it from someone. Just like when Ronan forcibly drew out his inherent potential with the power of the Holy Sword.

It was a close call. Adeshan, whose legs gave away, lost her balance and fell.

Ah.

I knew this would happen.

Ronan chuckled lightly. He successfully caught Adeshan just before her knees touched the ground. Adeshan, who was staggering, covered her flushed face with both hands.

Th-Thank you

You worked hard. Get some rest.

Ill try to get up as soon as possible. But what about those people?

Adeshan was looking at the ice plain through the gap between her fingers. The bodies of the drowned people, which had been buried shallowly, were rising as they broke the ice.

-Grrrrr

-Gyaaahhh

The already awakened corpses were aimlessly wandering around. There seemed to be no purpose now that Barka had revoked his command before he died.

We should put them to rest.

It didnt seem dangerous, but it wasnt a pleasant sight either. Since corpses dont move, its only natural for them to rest eternally as bones or ashes. Ronan, who was observing them, spoke up.

But we can deal with that later after we handle other matters. Come here, let me carry you.

Sorry.

Adeshan bowed her head deeply. The strength of her legs didnt come back easily once it was released. Ronan, without saying a word, lifted her up and started walking towards the laboratory.

Im heavy.

You say the same thing every time, but youre not heavy at all.

Umm lies.

Unable to overcome her embarrassment, Adeshan buried her face in his back. Ronan chuckled. In fact, considering her height, she was on the lighter side. As he carried her like this, memories from the past came flooding back.

It was like this even during the beast festival, remember?

Yeah

At that time, I still dont understand why the Alpha Doppelganger turned into me. I really hated myself at that time. I wonder if Doppelgangers make mistakes too.

Thank you.

Her breath sounded loud. Fortunately, she regained her energy in less than five minutes and stood up. There was still much to do, too much to indulge in contemplation.

The two searched the laboratory for a long time. They gathered evidence to prove Barkas evil nature and destroyed any magical items or devices that could be misused.

Since a massive ship had been converted into Barkas hideout, it took much longer than expected. As Ronan packed the materials into his backpack, he murmured.

This should be enough to rectify the North.

Probably. Just realizing they were deceived might bring about a lot of change.

I hope so.

Having finished their tasks, the two picked up their belongings. Adeshan carried both her and Ronans backpacks simultaneously, while Ronan carried Aradans body. Even in death, this boy who fought like a true warrior deserved to be buried where the sun shone.

Now, giving eternal rest to the wandering corpses would be the end. As they passed through the corridor they had come through, it was the moment they opened the stone gate. Whoosh! A sudden gust of wind blew back their hair.

Ugh?!

Aack!

The hot and dry wind was mixed with a blaze. The scent of burning that belonged in a crematorium permeated the air. Frozen in place, the two glanced at the scene before them.

What on earth is going on here?

Wh-What!

It was like something out of a madmans fantasy. A radiant glow reminiscent of a green skirt streaked across the dark sky. Below it, waves of flames, as if coming from hell itself, engulfed the ice plain.

-Kieeee!

-Araagh!

All the bodies gathered by Barka were burning. The resurrected corpses wandered in the flames, screaming, until they turned into ash, while the corpses that didnt come back to life lay quietly, turning into ashes like firewood.

It may not be the right expression, but it seemed that there were no survivors. Frozen in shock, Ronan was staring at the scene of the conflagration. Suddenly, Adeshan pointed to the sky and shouted.

R-Ronan! Look there!

Huh?

The already large eyes widened even further. Ronan turned his head in the direction she was pointing. He froze in place as his gaze reached the sky.

Ah, shit.

A single eagle, almost as large as Itargand, was flapping its wings in place. With each flap of its enormous wings, a gust of wind swept away the flames.

Its body, like a sculpture, shimmered with a blue light. Ronan narrowed his eyes. There was a sense of familiarity emanating from the eagle. Soon, he succeeded in dredging up memories.

Hyran!

It was unmistakable. It was Hyran, the highest-ranking wind spirit known as the Prince of Storms. Ronan remembered seeing him during his two years journey to the Sea of Ghosts.

If Hyran is here, then maybe

There are very few people who can make a contract with a high-ranking spirit. At least, among the people Ronan knew, there was only one. Suddenly, the map he found in his fathers room came to mind. The target destination on the map was clearly the Sea of Ghosts.

Gradually, the flames covering the Sea of Ghosts subsided. Like fallen meteorites, the bodies could no longer be found in the deeply excavated ice pit. A trembling voice escaped Adeshans lips.

It wont come this way, right?

Her gaze lingered on Hyran, who was flapping his wings in the air. The Prince of Storms remained aloof, staring blankly at the two. After about a minute, Hyran, who had been gazing at Ronan, suddenly roared.

Pyuuuhhh!

Eeek!

Startled, Adeshan embraced Ronan. Hyran folded his wings and began to descend. Making a wide circle, the Prince of Storms finally landed on a cliff.

It wasnt too far away, so they could observe the area with the naked eye. Ronans eyes widened as he surveyed Hyrans surroundings.

Thats!

A single elven woman was stroking Hyrans head. Her silver hair, illuminated by the aurora, sparkled with a dusky green hue.

Even after thousands of years, the ruby embedded in her staff-like weapon hadnt lost its luster. The image of her, struggling to save the Savior, still lingered in his eyes.

The Great Spirit Sage. And one of the founders of Nebula Clazier, who followed the Savior. Ronans mouth fell open in awe.

Elysia.
