It was not very pleasant for Vera to watch things happen against his will.
Even more so if it was about something that is questionable in the moment.
“Yeah, let’s hear it.”
“I will not announce your existence to Sungkuk. Instead, could you lend me your strength just once, just once, when I need you?”
“… Is that just the end?”
“Yeah, it’s that simple, isn’t it?”
I had so many questions.
The reason Renee offered this deal, how she found her, and what she wanted from her aside from all that.
However, Vera, who had already intervened in the past and had no way of asking it, listened to the story that followed, swallowing all the questions that came to mind.
“… Well, I can think of a simpler way. It’s like burying your dirty friends behind you and me here.”
“I know you won’t.”
“indeed?”
“Doesn’t your brother want to make troublesome things for nothing?”
“Rather than leaving the risk factor behind.”
“Well, shall I try my best?”
The appearance of Renee, who finished his speech with a smile, was truly calm and gloomy, unlike the current Renee.
The conversation continued even as his eyes were completely fixed on it.
Vera tried to move his body somehow and ask the question he wanted, but he couldn’t.
Even if you try hard, you will only lose your heart in the end.
Vera gave up on such a move when it was time for Renee and Rohan to leave the room when they had finished talking.
The two went away. At the same time, my vision began to blur a little.
Rather than feeling like my eyes are closed… Yes, it literally feels like the whole world is getting darker.
Long after the brilliance faded and the distinctions became blurred, Vera could only wake up after the world had turned completely black.
‘ah… .’
As he stared blankly at the black brick ceiling of the old castle blurring his vision, Vera cleared up his memories.
As if to save one more thing, he repeated the contents of his dream for a long time, and then recalled the past day when he recalled himself from his memory.
As he continued his thoughts, a smile suddenly escaped Vera’s mouth.
‘… It’s different.’
After all, it was because of the thought that the René of the 1st round and the Renee of the present were so different.
It wasn’t about who was good and who was bad.
just different
That’s where the story ends.
In addition, if we had to weigh the likes and dislikes, it could be said that the person Vera is feeling more willingly is Renee now.
The reason that René in the 1st episode, who seemed to be somewhat sympathetic, felt too far away from being the object of love, even though it could be the object of respect.
Vera stopped his thoughts and slowly got up.
‘… What should I do?’
What should I do with Renee, who has become more violent lately? What should I nag?
I’ve been thinking about it for a long time… Vera knew too.
No matter how much he thought about it, there was no way he would bruise Renee.
Just seeing each other makes my head go blurry and I just want to be dragged around.
If Renee smirked and clenched her hands for nothing, she would sigh as if she had no choice but to complain again with childishness.
Vera’s face, with his sword around his waist after finishing his revenge, was already brimming with a deep smile according to the thoughts that came to his mind.

The work in the cradle was going smoothly if it was going smoothly and sluggishly if it was sluggish.
Regarding the ‘coffin’, which was the first purpose, Vera was working with Hodrick to solve the problem, and Renee, who had recently met Jenny, was solving the problem related to Jenny.
When it comes to Annie’s… For now, Anilees kept her silence, but for some reason it was different from before, and she continued to wait under the assumption that something would change in her mind.
In the midst of doing their work in the cradle in the midst of that, an unexpected incident occurred in front of the party with an unexpected guest.
“A long time. Strong!”
Reception room in Goseong.
Vera looked at Balak, the blonde orc sitting opposite him, with a curious expression on his face.
Naturally, when he entered the cradle, he said as if he would be with them, and the people in his group ran away without knowing him, so the reaction that comes to mind.
“… Long time no see But what made you come all the way here?”
It’s already been a few weeks since they entered the cradle.
It was only now that the question came to mind as to why he had come here, and Ballak answered the question with a broad smile as usual.
“Lost!”
Vera’s fists clenched.
“… exactly?”
“Well! I felt an energy that I had never felt before in the grassland, so I chased after it and came to this place! I came and there was a strong man!”
Vera, who had been listening to Ballak’s story with his anger suppressed, abruptly narrowed his brows at the words that followed.
“A strange vibe?”
“Yes!”
Balak nodded loudly. Then, Balak, who had his arms folded and placed his arms above his knees, continued speaking with an expression that didn’t really suit him, as if something was offended.
“It was an energy that I didn’t know if I was strong or not! I think I’ll win with just one hit, but when I think about it again, I feel like I’m about to lose!”
It was heartbreaking to hear, but in the meantime, Vera was able to roll his head and extract meaningful information from those words.
‘… intruder?’
Balak said that he came here after a strange energy. It is said that this is the place where that energy was cut off.
And that energy is a person with a kind of power that can’t be measured by Balak.
“Hmm… .”
Vera continued his thoughts by tapping his knee with his fingertips, then asked.
“Did you tell the people of Goseong?”
“I didn’t! I forgot!”
“… .”
what are we going to do
That thought ran through Vera’s head.
Vera sighed for a moment at Balak’s actions, then got up and spoke to him.
“I will inform the people of Goseong. I don’t think it makes sense to condone such things from the position of being indebted to them.”
“i get it!”
Balak’s eyes widened and he nodded thoughtfully and waved his hand, and Vera ignored it and stepped outside.
*
Vera’s first destination was none other than the place where Hodric was in front of the gates.
“You mean no?”
[exactly. I haven’t moved a single step in front of this castle gate for the past two days, and no outsider has ever approached the castle except for the orcs who came before me.]
“… that.”
Vera’s brow narrowed.
This is the answer I got back to the car that came to inform me that there might be an intruder, so doubts began to fill my mind.
‘mistaken?’
Did Ballack make a mistake?
‘not.’
Vera quickly cleared his thoughts.
It’s none other than Ballack.
Even though the force itself is weaker than himself, it means that he has reached the level of determination only with a fighting spirit.
There is no way such a person could come so deep into the cradle with just one misunderstanding.

Of course, Hodrick in front of him had reached the level of suspicion, but Vera uttered such words because he was convinced that Balak was superior to Hodric in terms of finding enemies.
“… Could you please strengthen our vigilance as we don’t know what might happen? Probably because the King of Orcs came all the way here alone.”
[Well, let’s not do that. After hearing the story, I guess I’m also suspicious. I know that orc isn’t the type of person to move without any certainty… .]
As Hodrick’s head nodded up and down with a shriek, Vera left him behind and turned to Renee.
‘… Something is strange.’
The moment I heard Hodrick’s words, I had a feeling of anxiety that filled me without realizing it.
I could just dismiss it as an illusion and move on, but I was thinking that I might be overreacting to a single word, but even as that thought came to my mind, I couldn’t stop my stomach churning.
In addition, the thought arises that I am used to this anxiety for some reason.
steps have accelerated
Vera moved as he felt the thought keep filling his mind that he had to go to Renee’s side right now.

Daejeon of Goseong.
Maleus, who sat on the lavishly adorned throne and stared blankly into the air, dropped his head.
[…] Should I welcome you?]
spit out such a word.
A woman who seemed to have made the warmest spring stood in front of him.
Beneath her fine pink hair, the drooping corners of her eyes that can only be felt are softly folded.
A white dress that seems to have been made by gathering all the innocence of the world fluttered as the giggled smile moves.
It was Alaysia.
Maleus felt a sense of detachment from seeing her shining brightly alone in the midst of this already devastated land in this great battle of darkness.
“hi?”
A woman’s voice, clear and beautiful, like a bird’s chirping, floated in the space, and it was again crushed by Maleus’ voice.
[Where are you crawling around here?]
“why? we are friends You can meet friends whenever you want, Arga… .”
[Dirty prostitute. Why do I have to be your friend of four years? Don’t you know best what the four years have done?]
“… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
The woman, Alaysia, tilted her head.
Maleus’ body trembled slightly.
A few strands of muscle fibers that were barely hanging on the backbone of the hand tightened, and there was a sound of bones clashing.
Grudges, regrets, and hatred created by mixing them shook his insides.
The Transcendent, who had already thought that all his emotions had passed away, asked that question in an unpleasant situation where he had to face the feelings of the past that were immature.
[…] Tell me about the dragon.]
“yes? ah! That’s right.”
What comes back to the words uttered with deep hate is an answer that comes out brightly as if he didn’t even notice such a sign.
Alaysia looked straight at Maleus and stretched out her hand. He said, stretching both palms together.
“The coffin of eternal life! Lend me!”
A behavior that can be said to be irresponsible even if there is certainty that he will give it of course.
A blue naturalization burned in the empty eye sockets of Maleus.
[go away. I have nothing to give to you.]
“yes?”
[This means that it is not something that has been left over to give to the four years.]
“ah! I’m not writing it? Are you going to use Ar?”
[How can someone who is already dead use it?]
Alaysia’s head tilted once more.
“Maleus always makes strange noises. That’s why I hate Gorga.”
[Well, I think that idiot whale will defend me as much as I do now.]
Maleus’ torso leaned forward.
The vocal cords hanging from the neck trembled. What comes out this time is also a word full of hate.
Maleus spoke with hatred as he faced an evil that would never exist on this earth, which had ruined all the beautiful and nostalgic moments of the past.
[Ardain is dead. The coffin is not a tool for raising the dead. The four years are now chasing the faults of the dead.]
silence came to mind.
All the air in the space stopped.
Meanwhile, the expression on Alaysia’s face suddenly disappeared.
The highs and lows of the voice disappeared.
“… not really?”
All of her elements, praised as the most beautiful spring, suddenly changed their shape.
“Ar is not dead. are sleeping.”
[dead. you killed No, we killed it. That idiot burned my life in the belief that four years could be different.]
“Not dead. i saw Ar will rise again.”
[…] .]
Maleus’ mouth shut.
Maleus continued to think for a while, looking at Alaysia in silence.
Where the hell is this evil going to fall?
What plans do your parents have to watch this evil bell go wild?

Orgus… .
As soon as he thought about it, Maleus realized that it was now time to solve the question he had been holding on to.
[…] I don’t ask.]
He asked, erasing all the thoughts that came to his mind.
[How many times is this?]
The situation where Orgus intervened. It was a question he had to ask because he was a Maleus who knew how meticulous he was.
Alaysia’s body, which had stopped as if stuffed in time, moved.
The light returned in his eyes. It wasn’t the same light as before. It was a light that reminded me of the infinitely dark and gloomy deep abyss.
“ah… .”
The corners of Alaysia’s lips were torn long.
“… What, you know?”
As if she was going to die happily, she spit those words out.
