True Peace (1)

  “So this is Leo’s son.”


  “Lian is such a good boy!”


  “Hello!”


  Eir introduced the boy she wanted to make her husband to her father and mother. In front of the grinning boy, Illoin and Bernard looked at each other, followed by a look at Rose.

  “What did you do, Rose?”


  “You thought I’d stay put, Bernard? But Eir needed a stabilizer.”


  “…And by the way, Elizabeth isn’t here.”


  At Bernard’s words, Eir stood tall and stopped. Her sudden tearful appearance prompted Bernard to sense that he had stepped on a mine. Fortunately, however, Mirole approached and comforted Eir before she broke out.

  “Evan will be back soon. You don’t have to cry now, Eir.”


  “Sniff, yeah…”


  “Yes, Evan!”


  Arisha, who was nervous about the appearance of a new rival, heard that name and shouted.

  “Where’s Evan? Why didn’t he come with you?”


  “Yes, now you can just call him Evan!”


  Aria heard this and began to grin with a gracious smile. “Evan left separately, Arisha. But he’ll be here soon. We purposely timed it.”


  “Well, is that possible?”


  “Aria is a little special right now. Evan said she was in hyper mode.”


  It was a perfect match for Aria, who absorbed the fragments and upgraded her sacred magic to the next level.

  “Aria, I’m going to take the necklace…”


  “Yes, take it.”


  “Thank you.”


  Meanwhile, Sharay, still tied to the necklace, took it from Aria, hung it around her neck, and let out a deep sigh. Serena approached her to poke at her.

  “What’s your relationship with Evan?”


  “What? Evan…so that’s the real name of god Oppa. Well, I’m with God, I mean.”


  Sharay wiggled her hands and stopped talking to Redine. She was still smiling kindly.

  “What’s wrong? I’m Evan’s mother. Be comfortable with me.”


  “…”


  The declaration, which fell out of her mouth, made turned Sharay’s expression distant. How could her sister become the mother of god?

  “What are the laws of marriage in this world…?”


  “I’m surprised you know the law exists.”


  Redine was grinning. Serena intuitively realized one thing as Sharay sweated and tried to avoid her gaze.

  ‘This is still a one-way street! My Oppa hasn’t fallen for you yet!’


  “I don’t know what else, but she looks weak even though she’s pretty.”


  “It’s not surprising that we’re getting a few more concubines now. So, when the hell is Evan coming?”


  “…”


  Belois, who was silent, raised her head. There was a heavier dark magic pressure around the area.

  “The seal…”


  “I see.”


  Redine, who was smiling as if teasing her younger sister, also looked serious now.

  “Because the parties that sealed the Devil have gathered…the seal that was being released is now out of control…I hope Evan gets here soon.”


  “Ar…”


  Sharay burst into tears as Redine stared fiercely at her the moment when the name Arpa was inadvertently about to pop out. Redine quietly uttered her name.

  “Redine.”


  “Redine…”


  “Tell me.”


  “Wasn’t it hard? You’ve been protecting the seal all this time…”


  “Most of the painful memories have been lost. And it’s almost over.”


  “…”


  To Sharay, who looked at her with sad eyes, Redine answered with a warm smile.

  “I’ve grown up, too. There’s no reason to be sad for what’s already gone.”


  “But…”


  “There’s a lot I’d like to talk about, but let’s do it after we kill the Devil. After we’re all released from our shackles.”


  It was then…


  Koooooooooong! There was a huge and dull vibration in the Eternal Glacier. There was a deep crack running through the ground, and the ice was split in half.

  “Oh, my.”


  Feeling the terrible amount of dark magic leaking out of it, Redine immediately telephoned Ctheasil.

  “Immediately, now.”


  [I-I was getting ready!]

  Shortly after Ctheasil responded, she delivered the situation to Louise, who was probably sitting next to her. Created in the hands of the witches who had lived countless years in the past, a magic circle covering the entire continent, which was strengthened by the workers of the empire built by Louise, was finally launched-

  Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

  As if the bell of a cathedral rang out, a clear and deep sound was heard everywhere. Geometric lines ran out of the cracked land and filled it thoroughly. Every time the line was stretched, there seemed to be a feeble scream and groan, but it was only pleasant to their ears.

  “Wow! Is it god’s power?”


  “It reminds me of a showdown. The Devil will come back to life.”


  “Wow, I’ll be stronger this time!”


  “Everyone, ready for battle!”


  Unlike the group, who was slightly stunned by the mysterious magical forces covering the whole world, the corps of humans and dwarves who escaped from the gate bravely prepared for the battle against the Devil.

  “The power of the cracks in this system is concentrated here.”


  “As soon as the Devil connected to the Spirit Realm, he gained the ability to control some of the gates at his disposal. Evan got the ability to open and close the gate because he sealed him.”


  Aria calmly commented.

  “Everyone, get ready; soon, the Devil will be resurrected.”


  “Finally…”


  Redine and Sharay were thrilled to feel their strength return to them as the seal was lifted. The seal of the Devil, which had been at its limit since ancient times, had been kept intact by the activities of the witch’s progenitor Naz and the external quarantine of Sharay. But it wasn’t until Sharay returned to Sherden that all the puzzles were put together. The Devil’s seal was now completely released, as had been scheduled from the moment it was established…
-

  Baaaaang!

  “Grandpa Bernard!”


  A gate was opened in the air, and Evan, Maybell, and a couple of others rushed out of it. Everyone’s eyes opened wide in surprise as they prepared for the battle with the Devil.

  “Evan!?”


  “Master!”


  “Zero!”


  “Oh, God is here!”


  “What’s with the kids in the back?”


  “I’m sorry, but I’m in a hurry, let’s do this later… first get out of the way!”


  It was a sorry sight for everyone who expected an emotional reunion with him, but as soon as Evan saw them, he ran to Bernard. Even at that moment, the curse of the world arose and was struggling to push Evan away. However, the magic circle, initiated by Ctheasil and Louise, could hold on for a while, even weakening the world’s curse that suppressed Evan.

  “Grandpa, the making of the Elixir! Hurry up!”


  “Huh? What are you talking about!”


  “Come on, the Elixir!”


  Evan traveled the rest of the world for this. Evan handed over the ingredients he had put together in front of Bernard.

  “These are the ingredients of Elixir…why is there so much?

  “Make it quick, Grandpa! I’ll help you!”


  Evan quickly opened the workstation he had prepared. While Bernard was dumbfounded, once he laid out the ingredients, he pulled out a bottle of mysterious golden liquid from his arms.

  “Isn’t that the Elixir?”


  “That’s right, and from now on…”


  Evan took a short deep breath and pulled the cap off the bottle. Then he poured it onto the ground.

  “What are you doing? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”


  “You’ll know when you’re done creating it, but humans can’t drink it anyway! This is what it’s meant to be!”
-

  Gaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

  The moment Evan poured Elixir onto the ground, a terrible scream struck the earth. Everyone recognized that it belonged to the Devil that was struggling to escape from the seal.

  “The Elixir is…”


  “The Devil…?”


  “To this earth, to all that lay in it.”


  Evan, who shook out the last drop neatly, helped Bernard and declared the creation of the Elixir.

  “The Elixir will provide full recovery, purification, and sublimation power.”


  “That means…”


  “Everything will go with the flow.”


  The curse of the world was due to the Devil who suppressed the world, twisted the truth, and forcibly engraved it. Unilaterally denying members of the innocent world puta terrible burden on it, and it could never be normal. The Elixir could restore the state of such a world to its original form. Now, the evidence was that the heavy curse that came upon Evan’s body had been wiped out.

  “The curse that used to haunt you…”


  Belois was looking at him with that familiar, tearful look on her face. She wasn’t the only one. For those who had to let him go because of the curse of the world that triggered at the last minute, the news that the curse had disappeared was so great that they could care less about the Devil.

  “Wait, then what hit the Devil was…”


  “The Devil has grown in size through the convergence of many beings and dimensions. Pouring the Elixir on the Devil in that state would have had no effect.”


  However, Evan divided the Devil’s body into countless parts and sealed it. It wasn’t just because he couldn’t seal the Devil due to its huge size. Rather, he wanted to separate the objects that had been fused. At that time, it was impossible to cut it by force, as all the objects were heavily connected by magic.

  Now that it had been long enough for each object to be independent…if he pours the Elixir on it again in this situation…


  “It’s about healing everything. You take everything away from the frozen Devil and bring it back to its original form.”


  “Liz Unnie!”


  Eir shouted, and Evan nodded silently. That’s when the creation ended. Evan took the Elixir from Bernard’s hands, admiring the clear golden liquid in front of him, and poured it back on the ground. The screams of the Devil, the healing of the earth, and the magic of the atmosphere combined with the effects of Elixir.

  “This is, it’s great…”


  “Whoa, Save…”


  It was close. The Elixir alone wasn’t enough to cover this vast land. Not only had Evan dropped an extra-large Elixir made of materials he had drawn from all the different worlds but now…


  “The World Tree is lending her power…”


  “Mother has been saving her strength just for this moment.”


  Mirole, who came to Evan’s side, answered with a small smile. Somehow her smile didn’t seem to be real.

  “How was your trip, Evan?”


  “Well, uh, yeah.”


  “Now you’re taking it easy.”


  “Oh, I mean, um…”


  “Hmmm…oh, my.”


  Mirole couldn’t stop holding back and burst into laughter at Evan’s awkward appearance. Then, someone appeared to push her away.

  “Mirole, I know you’re happy, but please don’t hog him.”


  “Master…”


  “Oppaaaaaaaaa!”


  Arisha, Belois, and Serena rushed in and Evan couldn’t avoid the hugging attack. Their eyes were too eager for him to tell them to get off, even though the Devil would soon be resurrected. But Evan, who was hugging them, soon realized one strange thing.

  “…? Ray and Lua, why are your stomachs…”


  To say that they gained weight simply because they ate too much…their face, arms, and legs were the same. Moreover, as strong as they were, their physical condition should be perfectly maintained so that they wouldn’t gain weight even if they ate a lot…


  “Oppaaaaa!”


  “…”


  Serena answered with a clear smile, so Evan turned his gaze silently to Belois. She blushed, lowered her eyes, and spoke in a small voice.

  “I wanted a token of my love with you, Master…”


  Evan’s eyes turned to Arisha, and she was already tearful.

  “You promised me we’d get married.”


  She pouted his lips and added.

  “But he betrayed only me. This is including Louise.”


  “Louise!”


  “Phew, I’m glad I made it, too.”


  “Maybell, even you!”


  While he was out of his mind after being hit three times in a row, Evan’s mind disappeared thanks to Maybell’s belated confession. He passed out while standing.

  “It’s been a while since I’ve seen this. I feel at ease.”


  “As expected of our Knights.”


  “The Devil! The Devil is about to come back to life!”


  “…What, why does this man have so many women?”


  [I was determined, but this is a total disaster…]

  There were ten seconds until the Devil’s resurrection.

  The main characters had all gathered.
