L A 82 - Leo's Lie
Leo's heart stopped beating. His breathing was wheezing at the news of Chiesa and End's death. Along with that inside his head sprung the memories of End and Chiesa. All of that made Leo hold his head and scream in pain.
”Arrrggghhh!”
Leo saw clearly what End was feeling and how the man was facing the harshness of the world. End is caught up in two choices where he is under the pressure of the Dragon figure who is his father and his loyalty to Chiesa.
But the magic seal that Dragon implanted into End left the man with no other recourse and betrayed Chiesa unconsciously. The reason why Chiesa had all the members of Tartaros leave was because he realized that.
But End bequeaths his determination and ability that Dragon wants to take forcibly to Leo. End's death was not in vain because Leo managed to receive the magic spirit of his gift, besides End could tell Leo if from that day on Tartarus no longer existed.
Hisui and Licha who saw Leo in pain tried to resuscitate, but Leo continued to groan in pain before Leo finally shed his tears without the slightest expression.
Leo weeps because he realizes End's feelings after learning of Leo's true identity. End is filled with guilt for knowing that Leo is from a child whose parents killed Dragon.
”Leo... Does that magic spirit belong to End?” asked Hisui and Leo nodded his head slowly.
’I've been suspicious that End would betray, but I think Leo knows everything..’ Hisui sat down and clenched his hands realizing the situation they would face without Chiesa and End.
”Leo, can you explain what happened to End and Chiesa? What is the reason they both chose to endure everything themselves and let us go?!” Licha approaches Leo and asks Leo to explain the memory Leo has from the magic spirit.
”Licha, give her time..” Hisui held onto Licha's shoulder and reprimanded him.
Meanwhile Licha gritted her teeth and looked annoyed.
”I will avenge the deaths of both of them!” licha said full of emotion.
”Dragon and that guy should pay for it! They are not far from this continent!”
Hisui shook his head knowing that Leo was going after him with Licha. Soon Hisui stops the actions of the two and asks Leo to tell him what happened.
Leo clenched his hand tightly and told them both of End's past and Chiesa's. There was no falsehood that End or Chiesa did, both of them acting sincerely for their purposes.
”I have lost many people, in my old life or in my life this time. I don't want to lose anyone anymore.” Leo looked at Hisui and Licha.
Leo's gaze had meaning because it knew what Chiesa wanted. Leo intends to make it happen but Leo has his own way. For a long time he did not feel this kind of emotion after opening his heart to someone and Leo immediately brushed aside the emotional.
”Aibi... We're back.” Leo invites Hisui to return to Gaspar Kingdom as all Chiesa's orders are merely a diversion.
Hisui without answering followed Leo as well as Licha. Both of them understood Chiesa's wish and they both respected her. But it is different from Leo who has lied to both.
Leo tells Hisui and Licha if all the remaining members of Tartaros do not proceed with their plans. The enemy they were facing was too great and Chiesa wanted all the members of Tartaros to support Hera again.
’Sorry, Chiesa... You left all your memories to me and I think you want all of your friends to live a normal life, right?’
’Then I will bear everything myself. I'll make sure the four of them live happily.’ Leo is determined and has determined his steps.
That day Tartarus ended. All its members disappeared like they were swallowed by the earth. The news of Chiesa's death spread quickly and Commander Shark became the mastermind. There was no Dragon name there and the world once again churned when one of the Great Demon Lords died.
Leo's existence is also like disappearing into the earth. After explaining everything to V, Cochlea, Hisui and Licha, the teenager completely disappeared.
Time went on and after five years passed, the news of a young man destroying the Canute Kingdom's war fleet with Catloph echoed in the Carta Continent. That young man was none other than Leo Avalon.
