309. Epilogue2. Niflheim

Aaron looked under the iron railing.

The square of the spacious Taoni waiting room. People in twos and threes were lined up, each entering a different dimension.

‘Did you say it was a dissolution ceremony?’

Aaron’s hand gripped the railing, and strength went into it.

15 days ago, the news that Mobius Headquarters had been captured by someone had reached all servers.

And... the broken world was restored like a lie.

There are at least hundreds of heroes gathered on this floor alone.

In any waiting room, something similar will happen.

Under the guidance of Moebius employees, the heroes return to their homes.

You can return to your original home simply by entering that dimensional door.

Of course, the heroes will lose their memories in the waiting room, and remnants of fragments will remain everywhere in the regenerated world, but compared to the past when they constantly invaded through walls, their situation was the difference between heaven and earth.

“Aren’t you going back?”

Aaron looked back at the boy standing next to him.

A purple-eyed boy wearing a black T-shirt and jeans and a bread hat. A long spear is slanted behind his back.

A member of the 13th floor of Niflheim and also Aaron’s teacher, his name was Muden Nidelk.

Now, a week has passed since the Mobius headquarters collapsed.

Muden took over as administrator and remained in Taonier with Aaron.

“You said you had a sister. What was her name? Me?”

“This is Nina.”

“Oh, yes. Nina. I’m sorry about this. I’m getting older these days, so I can’t remember.”

Muden scratched his cheek and laughed.

“Master did a good job. I think something happened. Anyway, are you not going to go home? Your sister will be waiting anxiously.”

Aaron did not answer the teacher’s words.

A strange feeling swirled in his chest.

“Little.”

“yes.”

“Do you regret coming under me?”

“What... are you talking about?”

“I had a hard time rolling on the dirt floor, but I couldn’t swing the spear properly.”

Aaron shut his mouth.

If only I was a little faster.

I’d be lying if I said I’d never thought of it like this.

‘Maybe I... was too late.’

I left the road to help my brother, but the timing was not right.

When he returned to Taoni, everything was on the verge of ending.

‘My older brother left without saying anything to me.’

If only he had come back sooner and been by his brother’s side.

If only I could earn his trust.

These results may not have been the case.

“They don’t answer. It looks like it was the correct answer.”

“No, Master! It’s my negligence. It’s because I’m slow to learn. Master did his best. If I had worked a little harder, if I hadn’t been lazy, I might have been able to stop him.”

“How are you going to stop someone who wants to go? Are you going to slap them in the back of the head with a spear?”

Muden shrugged.

“Well, if it weren’t for that person, we would all die. It’s a tearful sacrifice. Whether you agree or not, it’s an undeniable fact that we all saved our lives thanks to Master.”

Aaron sighed.

‘Let’s see if that’s the case...’

I knew what kind of situation my older brother had become after hearing from Yurnet.

In the twisted space-time, he started an endless fight with fragments.

‘I was lacking.’

Aaron clasped his hand.

It took a lot of time and effort to get the power he was satisfied with.

So many that I can’t even list them all.

Thus, Aaron finally

realized ‘karma’, but the object to be protected disappeared.

‘If only I had been faster.’

I had to save time to sleep, time to eat, and time to breathe.

If only I had reached the stage sooner.

‘sorry.’

He gave himself a chance to become stronger, but he betrayed that expectation due to his own inadequacies.

Endless regrets gnawed at his heart.

“What are you so droopy about? It’s not nice to see.”

“But...”

“Didn’t I say it’s a bad habit? Blaming yourself all the time. You can live with your shoulders up. Even if you search all of Moebius, there are only a handful of people who can point spears at you. Including me.”

“The power is useless. My brother is gone, Taonier is back. The point of my spear... is lost.”

“It’s no use...”

Muden repeated Aaron’s words and smiled.

Muden said.

“Then don’t finish it.”

“...”

“When someone tells you to give up, don’t give up. create miracles.”

Muden said to his disciple who was making a futile expression.

“I can’t do it because I’m old. You save the Master instead of me.”

“I understand...!”

belt ring.

What Muden was holding in his hand bounced off.

Aaron subconsciously snatched it up.

It was a small purple iron badge.

In the middle of the badge, the pattern of Niflheim was embossed.

“Aaron Delkard.”

“Master!”

“Now Niflheim 13th floor. Nidelk’s name is yours. I’ve told the other kids in advance, so show them the badge and they’ll understand.”

Muden turned his back.

Aaron, in desperation, put a hand on his shoulder.

“Master, I...!”

“Don’t mess with me. I’m going to enjoy my vacation for the time being. Sunbathe on the Emerald Beach, eh? Hula dancing with pretty girls. Drinking martinis. That’s what I’m going to do.”

Aaron’s eyes widened.

There were wrinkles on the side of Muden’s lips exposed under the bread hat.

‘I grew old in an instant...’

“I’ve lived a long time. Now things from the past are vague. So please do something for me. This is a request from the old teacher.”

“...ah.”

Muden walked without hesitation.

towards the aisle at the end of the hallway.

Aaron hurriedly followed his master’s back.

“Master, isn’t it sudden! It’s too much to leave in such a hurry! At least tell me a little more!”

“Don’t hold on. Annoyingly.”

Muden pushed away Aaron’s hand.

The boy’s voice no longer rang out.

“I still need Master. If it’s to save my older brother, just like me...!” ”

I’m here.” A hand full

of wrinkles grabbed Aaron’s spearhead. As if

responding to Muden’s words

,

an afterimage spread across the window.

Muden let go of Aaron, who was standing there blankly, and let go of the window.

Then, he walked away to the end of the hallway.

“Master.”

Aaron He looked at the spear in his hand.

An unadorned metal long spear and the badge of Niflheim.

It was the legacy that Muden had left him.

“If you don’t want to end it...”

You just have to end it.

Muden’s voice rang in his ears. “I swear with my all. After this fight, I will definitely go to see Master.”

Aaron

bowed down to the place where Master

left .

Was it?”

Aaron murmured as he looked at the black coat hanging on the railing.

It was a

special coat for Niflheim executives

.

Delk.’

The name he will be called from now on.

Aaron Nidelk.

He will become the hero of Niflheim and fight.

Aaron started walking in the opposite direction from Muden.

At the end of the hallway was a hangar where airships were parked.

Muden’s colleagues said Niflhe “...” Before leaving the corridor

,

Aaron looked back one last time.

The

heroes who once lived and died with him were returning home.

Aaron’s sister might be waiting for him. I don’t know.

‘Forgive my ugly brother.’

Aaron pulled down his hood and exited the aisle.
