Aresya has grown into a beautiful woman like Selina, just like Irina. Aresya with a sweet face with long gray hair. Her body was very seductive with two breasts that were slightly larger than Selina.

Young-faced pink-haired Irina with her jovial nature and was also very responsible towards the other two. He is very similar to Fear when compared to his nature.

While Regin became a wise man who took responsibility even though his age was the youngest among the four others. White-haired short wearing a witch-like hat.

With an accent talk like an outsider who is good at playing the show. He often makes jokes with Oz.

Making this group of people a special unit that is incredibly powerful.

Unfortunately, my time is not long, I really want to see them grow great in the future. However, my condition did not give me any hope, because not long ago I was coughing up blood.

Fortunately no one had realized it until now, I really did not want to make them worry about my condition. At least that's what I've been thinking lately.

A sign that my life may not be long, because the tasks I have to fulfill are quite heavy. As for that pearl of immortality, I actually did not swallow it at all. I kept it under my tongue, but Fear seemed to notice.

Is that just my hunch?

And a really fast time to travel all of us, just before the rain fell my heart felt in the squeeze. It seems like Regalia's words are true, she will soon appear. But, I didn't know when it would happen, so I decided to go alone at night.

With my ability to sneak around, I managed to leave unnoticed by anyone. For the last time I think backwards.

Whatever I did a few years back, how I got to this point, what my last trip was like with them.

It's ridiculous, yes, it's so ridiculous that it makes me want to laugh with tears.

To get to this point I sacrificed my family for a disaster. Betrayed by my best friend whom I considered family, even considered this fate so unfair that it cursed him repeatedly in my heart.

“True... sometimes life is unfair,” my mumbling and look back, “I hope you get happiness and a life that is more deserving than being stuck with me.”

***

I finally arrived at an abandoned town with no one to come with me. Without saying goodbye and without thinking again to go back to adventure with laughter, smiles, and friends with them.

Rumbling sounds hit the streets. The houses that were swallowed up by the age of moss in an instant became an eternal memory. The clouds are starting to darken, this city seems to be my grave at the moment.

And whether it was a miracle, right in the middle of this city square a dark light appeared and instantly pierced through the sky quickly. The blowing wind started to shake a sign that something bad was going to come out.

Sure enough, a mythological creature that might be like the Phenex Bird came out in dark blue. With two dark wings that cover the light of the sun forever. City conditions began to deteriorate because it was not exposed to sunlight.

In the end a miasma came out from the ground. But the miasma had no effect on me.

I immediately ran over and took out my Lionheart Sword from my right hand. A transparent silver color that glitters with its intricate rune strokes imprinted right on its flattened part.

I jumped on the roofs of destroyed houses, like a bird in general, but it had an incredible air of destruction. Is it Omega?

[No, it's not Omega ..]

[That's only a third of its original form ..]

Suddenly Regalia told me over telepathy right into my head. I began to doubt my own capacity. Is it with my current strength that I can defeat that imperfect form?

Without further ado I darted straight towards him. Brawl and quick attacks are not inevitable, even a powerful attack came out blindly without a glance first.

The city seemed to have become a testing ground for dangerous weapons, huge holes everywhere, cracks, even lava came out from the ground. My condition wasn't very favorable this time, with my left shoulder sprained

makes it hard to beat him.

Time was rolling fast and now my body was filled with wounds and blood flowing from my head. This pain and agony is so infuriating, I can only tear off his left wing and crush his right leg.

But while I have received fatal wounds all over my body and now you are beginning to feel that I am not in the ordinary dimension anymore. It seems like he separated me from the normal dimension before.

***

The sound of a wagon rushing so quickly across the ruined path. They finally arrived at a ruined city. Blood was everywhere and made them alert.

But the sound of a roar that was quite extraordinary made them immediately stare at the presence of a creature that can fly right in the middle of the city. But a huge explosion put them on alert.

They are Fear, Selina, Oz, Aresya, Irina, and Regin. But, how shocked it was when the explosion knocked something towards them.

A cry of agony and they seemed to recognize the voice, the voice they had long been searching for and right in front of them was now standing an old brunette man completely covered in blood. His left arm looked broken and wounds adorned almost all over his body.

He stood proudly while being propped up by a beautiful silver sword. Fear and Selina bowed limply to see him, he was the husband of both of them.

But strangely he did not realize their presence was now right behind him. Fear and Selina immediately ran towards the man in a hurry, opening both of their hands to hug the man.

But the results obtained are—

"Huh?!"

They could not hug the man, when they wanted to do so his body was like transparent and directly pierced through Reiss' body. Oz and the three others did not believe what they saw.

Why would the man they missed not be able to call at all even if they had shouted as loudly as possible.

"YOUNG MASTER!!! IT'S ME OZ, DO YOU RECOGNIZE ME?!"

But the results were nil, he did not turn his face to glance at the source of the sound.

They were bowed again but when Reiss shouted loudly, for some reason their hearts felt pierced by an invisible knife.

***

"BASIC USELESS CREATURE, DID YOU DELIBERATELY SEPARATE THE NORMAL DIMENSION FROM THE OTHER DIMENSIONS?!" I shouted out loud.

Huh! Looks like this thing really wants to kill me, huh? Ahkksss—sial, my body is unable to continue this fight anymore.

[Sacrifice your blood to summon the second sword!!]

I nodded slowly and I raised my hand as I thrust my Lionhear sword on the ground.

I Called The Crying An's

Unstoppable—

At The Expense Of The Blood To Be

Its Strength—

And To Destroy All Incoming Non

Deceivingly—

Come To Me....

THE SWORD OF DRAGONTEARS!!!

The sky split as my screams echoed through the city. The condition of my body that was filled with blood turned to be readily available. His broken left arm and sprained shoulder recovered and left no pain.

A white hole came out of my chest, I reached the hole with my left arm, and a solid object I managed to grasp. After that it pulled him with all its might, where a bunch of black electricity screamed around him violently.

The shrill sky that was then silent made him go back to raging. Then a black sword was now in the grasp of my left hand, at the same time I also pulled my Lionheart sword from the ground.

And now two pairs of destiny swords are in my grasp. The creature began to emit an enormous ball of energy. Floating in the raging sky, the lightning-conducting gray clouds began to look hostile.

Lightning after lightning came out into the city where I was standing. This increasingly extraordinary aura was so intense. The air heated up and as it evaporated, my body became light and heavy at the same time.

A burst of stamina and an overflow of Mana gathered within my body and at that very moment this incredible Being shot a huge ball of energy towards me. I ran towards the overflow of the energy ball while straddling my two hands that had held two extraordinary swords.

I also shouted as loud as possible in an abstract attack that was completely erratic.

“HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!”

The waves of my attacks collided with each other with that ball of energy and exploded against each other. That extremely incredible explosion almost left this dead city completely destroyed. When the creature searches for the whereabouts of its target, it cannot find it anywhere.

During the explosion, I made use of the glare of the light, and immediately flew into the sky as fast, high, and as strong as possible then swooped back to launch a great attack with these two swords.

A quick attack yet sacrificing everything destroyed the entire confidence he had built up all along.

I'm sorry, brother. I couldn't keep my promise that day....

But the three figures of light helped me by suddenly supporting me and giving me their strength. The three lights then appeared, and how shocked I was when I saw them all.

They are—

"B-b-how did you guys get here?! Daddy's! Mama! W-Rubber! ..."

My cries were unstoppable and made me want to hug them. With a soft voice the three of them said.

"Never give up, your life is long and happiness will one day embrace you, Reiss."

They smiled a little and then disappeared at the same time.

My crumpled face was now filled with determination even though the words of the three of them did not seem to be coming true. An expanse of blazing fire enveloped me and in that one swift attack.

I managed to destroy the creature, but suddenly my vision blurred and my stamina drained away. My body slammed into the ground violently, this tremendous pain stung my body mercilessly.

Blood started coming out of my head dripping through my cheeks until it dripped. This body kuseret towards a stone pillar is quite high. The creature continued to shout with a strange language.

Rumbling sounds once again rang out throughout this city violently. The place around me is starting to split apart, it seems that you have returned to the normal dimension.

I could see it even though it was faint, so blurry, and was filled with a red color. That look could not make me guilty.

Fear and Selina were crying on my lap, Oz seemed agitated by the situation this time around. While Irina and Aresya help treat my wounds, while Regin watches with a panic look.

Then I told Selina and Fear to gently create a magic circle. They didn't want to let go of my body at first and I've been trying to let them both go.

And a miracle came up, Oz helped me to convince them. They also quickly read the short runes aided by Irina and Aresya. A magic circle created above this dead land was golden yellow.

Oz and Fear helped me to stand up, while Selina, Regin, Irina and Aresya were already in that circle. But at the last moment, I muttered to myself.

"Foolish base, how could I possibly survive after using this kind of power."

A small smile spread across my face and I hit Oz in the stomach trying to help me stand up. Along with Fear, I also let go of his embrace and pushed the two of them right towards the circle.

Oz managed to get in even though his face could not believe what I was doing. The look on his face clearly stated it all.

I can only give this smile to him sincerely. But, it seemed that Fear could resist my impulse and he did not enter the magic circle and in an instant on the edge of the circle appeared an invisible wall, shining brightly. They all tried to undo the magic,

but unfortunately they were late and finally they managed to survive.

Before that Selina yelled at me in a regretful tone, "REISS, YOU LIARGGG!!!"

I just laughed when I heard it and now it was Fear who silently kept hitting my chest hard.

"Reiss, why are you doing all this? What do you want? You're so mean to want to leave me alone again" he said with sobs that were beyond my expectations.

Embrace his head and hold it against my chest, "D-d-heard this, Fear. The time of my life will not be long," I said gently in her ear.

"What do you mean? Didn't you eat that pearl of immortality with the others as well?!"

"No, that's not true. I just hid it under my tongue."

After that I told him the reason why I did all that.

While I told her she kept crying incessantly, "May you be happy, goodbye my dear wife.”.

I could feel my hands go limp, my consciousness also slowly darkened, and the gaze was so blurry. Ahhh... Is this what death is called? I don't know that, but maybe this is what it's like to experience death.

So cold and horrible. Alone in the void and unrelenting sense of uneasiness continued to gnaw at my heart.

But before my consciousness completely disappeared, I could hear the last sentence from him in a warm tone, and a wet sensation on my cheek....

"W-we will always be together forever. Whether it's now or when death approaches us, Reiss...."
