Pandemonium.

In the Witchbeast’s hometown, where only thick darkness prevails, the two corps commanders raised their heads.

The gaze directed beyond the “black sky” dyed in jet black eventually sustained an incident.

“Has Balthazar failed?”

Corps commanders are connected to each other’s consciousness.

Ouroboros felt Balthazar’s consciousness fading, and thus realized that his plan had failed.

“His ‘preparation’ seems flawless. It’s just deplorable.”

“Didn’t you instigate it knowing everything in the first place?”

A sarcastic voice pierced my ears.

It was Arachne, a spider surrounded by darkness and thorns.

“You know that? A god of death who prepares does not fight a ‘battle without a win’. The fact that he entered the battlefield means that all ‘preparations’ to attack the enemy have been completed.”

“·······.”

“Did you aim for this from the beginning?”

Ouroboros looked at Arachne in silence.

This heartless serpent sometimes responded with silence.

Of course, it meant ‘positive’.

“Balthazar tried to turn the tables with dialogue.”

War. Constellation. contract and test.

As a truth that crosses Kang Yu-jin’s ‘history’, he plotted infighting with his enemies.

The trust that collapsed from the inside was a ruse based on the fact that it could not be undone.

“Constellations are born through ‘contracts’. By making a pact with an entity called the Singularity and taking a ‘test’, they escape from the gravitational pull of the inner dimension. That is the birth of a constellation.”

A cataclysmic time when mortals are reborn as gods.

In order for the soul, which was only a cloud of dust, to burn with a brilliant light, a huge will and source are needed to carry out the will.

Awakening it is a ‘test’.

It is to go to the battlefield to kill and kill each other.

“So Earth was destined to be sacrificed.”

Was it a coincidence that a graduate from Earth returned to Earth’s battlefield?

Definitely not.

In the first place, they did not come to Earth to prevent war.

In order to be reborn as a Constellation, he came to Earth to ‘bring out’ a war.

“As it was, the earth would have become a fire and one of them would have become a star.”

However, a variable called Yujin Kang intervened.

I don’t know who brought him in, but he killed the Beast Corps Commander with the fate of not being able to become a star.

The war is over.

Those who should have become stars gave up the test of ascension, influenced by him.

The earth survived, and Kang Yu-jin lost everything.

“Does anything change by telling the truth? No, nothing changes.”

Humanity is only added to the enemies he must annihilate.

Having annihilated the Demon Beast, he only turned the blade to the Constellation.

Reapers who prepare are smart.

He is a person who knows how to conceal his cold-forged anger until the moment it is needed.

The Constellation will be used until the demonic beasts are annihilated, and at the last moment, the dagger pulled out will break its wings and cause it to fall.

“Baltazar is soft.

“·······.”

“A guy like that doesn’t suit a position like this in the first place.”

It’s cold, but it’s the right theory.

Arachne, who knew Balthazar’s disposition, knew that there was nothing wrong with Ouroboros’ intentions.

“But power? Even if Baltazar was that shape, his strength was amazing.”

“·······.”

“Wouldn’t that be something you’d do on your own?”

“It’s not my dogma.”

In an instant, the darkness of Pandemonium stirred.

The old castle that reached the other side of the pitch-black sky, the ‘Black Sky Corridor’, has awakened.

The darkness opened its eyes and looked directly at the two corps commanders.

“To see Your Majesty the Great Emperor.”

“To see Your Majesty the Great Emperor.”

Snakes and spiders bowed their heads in front of a single Absolute.

Receiving the admiration of all darkness, the ‘Emperor’ appeared before them.

“”Balthazar’s failure is my will””

Darkness takes steps.

Engraving the thickly burnt jet-black as footprints, it revealed its existence in front of the awe of the corps commander.

Its appearance resembled a ‘human’.

“”He’s done his usefulness by proving his own stubbornness. There’s no reason for me to take care of his fate anymore.””

The face covered by the mask stung snakes and spiders.

The emotions that the two pairs of eyes, shining red, had as they looked at them, were nothing more than seeing a useful ‘tool’.

“「I don’t keep useless tools around」”

It was both a warning and a command.

“”You will have to fulfill the usefulness of that existence.””

“Of course, Your Majesty.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

word for word.

Every time his voice continued, a wave that shook the mind spread like an echo.

He lifted his head, cleared the darkness of the sky, and saw another world beyond.

The world of brightly shining constellations.

I felt the existence of the ‘adversary’ waiting there.

“”Do you in this world really have the will to overcome the truth?”

Under the mask, the voice is fleetingly scattered.

“”I’m looking forward to meeting you””

The emperor turned around and gave an order to the two corps commanders.

“”Prepare for departure””

*

The test in Avantrat ended successfully.

100 successful applicants as previously announced.

The 200 people who failed to win the shrew rat had to suffer the fate of being eliminated.

After announcing the future lecture schedule to 100 people enjoying small joys, I immediately returned to Helios.

It is true that lectures are important, but I have more important things to do now.

“Are you locked up here?”

The place where the footsteps landed was the ‘Polar Night Prison’ located on the outskirts of Helios’ backwaters.

It was a prison that I had come to interrogate Jason once before.

“Isn’t it funny that there is a prison near the school?”

“That’s how much you can trust in safety.”

“I do, but… heh heh.”

the lowest level of the prison.

Balthazar was tightly bound by chains woven by holy power.

It is a ‘separation chain’ created by the angels who are in charge of barriers and seals.

As a powerful sealing sphere that separates power, soul, and body, it was currently neither alive nor dead.

“Are you okay?”

“Perhaps there is no safer place than this.”

From my experience with the Central Police, I knew that even the central dimension was not safe.

If the witch is determined and wants to take it out, that means it’s impossible.

Currently, Helios, which is guarded by the barriers of Laniakea and the power of angels, can be said to be the safest place.

“By the way, I guess you know the face?”

“·······.”

“That one, when I saw his face once, he said that his expression was really great.”

I…glared at the sleeping Baltazar without an answer.

Hair color and eye color are different.

However, that face, the look that I couldn’t forget once I saw it, was definitely someone I knew.

“… Kaya.”

My colleague who was with me when I was alive.

And, the inhabitants of the earth who are still living.

I don’t have any ties to Baltazar, so I’m sure I’ve never even met him.

I had no way of knowing how she took Kaya’s form.

“Have you done any research on the Earth level?”

“Yes yes. Princess Helena of Vega said, ‘No problem’.”

“Hmm···.”

In the meantime, Earth was not invaded again.

I foresaw the possibility that he might have met Balthazar before meeting me, but he also shook his head.

In the first place, before returning to Earth, my colleagues were mediocre students.

The possibility of meeting the corps commander and surviving was zero.

If I had met you, you would have already talked to me.

It wasn’t a school thing, so there wouldn’t have been a need to keep quiet.

“…As expected, I don’t know unless I go there myself.”

“Ohh. Are you going to Earth?”

“…for now, we’re considering it.”

I thought I would never go back.

Maybe this should also be called destiny.

My appetite was very bitter in an undesirable situation.

“How about Cynthia and Encia?”

“They’re both fine. I think they’re a bit shocked, but time will tell.”

“Did you say anything else?”

“Depshaw didn’t say anything? I just listened to all the explanations and that’s it.”

It was a little surprising.

Even if she didn’t know Cynthia, Ensia, who had been to Earth with her, would know Kaya’s face.

You must have seen all of your comrades in front of the statues of heroes.

Even so, keeping quiet must have been an act that took me into consideration.

“…You’re needlessly considerate.”

“Yes?”

“it’s nothing.”

I closed my eyes and thought of the Kaya I was with.

The girl who always followed me around as Mister, Mister.

“·······.”

After all, it seemed right to go see it.

“Do you know how long it will take to re-enter Earth?”

“Well? I’m not Vega, so I don’t know… wouldn’t it be possible in about a week?”

it’s a week

I estimated the time remaining until the lecture.

‘It seems possible if I move a little tighter.’

It doesn’t even require a big check.

Are my colleagues on Earth all right?

And, are there any traces of Balthazar that I don’t know about?

If I check these two things, my business is over.

Even if I go, I probably won’t spend more than three days.

“I’ll go, but I’ll ask you to keep an eye on Balthazar.”

“Yeah yeah.”

The goal has been set, so there is no reason to delay.

I moved to the place where Vega’s mansion was.

*

While the entire dimension was in chaos due to war, there was a rare world that maintained peace.

This was the case with Earth, which was isolated from the other world and enjoyed its own peace.

A world where there was no further threat to the world that was the only one to win the war, and communication with the outer dimension was cut off due to the barrier surrounding the dimension.

In the peace of such a closed world, the earth was enjoying an era of reconstruction and revival.

“It’s already been over half a year since the war ended.”

Kaya looked up and saw the tombstone in front of her.

Maria Lawrence.

Previously, only this tombstone was a graveyard.

But now that Maria’s body has been retrieved, she lies with her eyes closed in a deeply buried coffin.

“I don’t know who it is, but it must be someone I’m very grateful for.”

The nameless righteous man who purified the enormous demon energy and took the Equinox.

Although she couldn’t find it, she assumed it was Helios’ help.

“Don’t think too positively. Equinox is gone too.”

“Let’s write. Let’s live a little more positively?”

A sarcastic voice came from behind.

A black-eyed man with long hair.

Wolfgang was looking at Kaya with displeased eyes.

“You’re too soft-minded. I can’t say that Helios’ intentions were always good.”

“Whatever it is. It has nothing to do with us now.

“To defend someone you don’t even know. You’re really backing down, Kaya.”

“…Really, as soon as you meet someone, they start scratching at you from the inside. I want you to go out and die.”

Wolfgang did not answer, raising his middle finger in response.

It was a twist of repentance.

To that, Kaya also replied with a chuckle.

“It’s a reflection, I’m sorry.”

“I am a rainbow reflection.”

Watching them blow a pair of cues at each other before they knew it, Angela, who was next to them, let out a sigh.

Today is the day Maria’s body was placed, and it is the day when the scattered colleagues gather in one place.

Patrick. Kaya. Wolfgang. Angela.

As the remaining members of Pentagram, they were obliged to show their faces at least.

But, as soon as we met, it was like this.

“Has Kaya’s personality been like this once or twice? Why are you like this when you know everything anyway?”

Angela, who had been sitting by her side, glared at Wolfgang with open eyes.

“·······.”

“Ugh. If you’re at a disadvantage, you won’t answer, and you’re still the same.”

She looked around, looking for the last one invisible.

“Patrick? Are you gone?”

“That bastard went back after only shining his face. He must have headed for the contaminated area by now.”

“Anyway, that fighting maniac… he’s a great man who will go out alone and die somewhere.”

Angela said sarcastically and looked at Kaya for the last time.

She was praying with her eyes closed.

Perhaps, it is to pray for Maria and Yujin Kang.

“huh···.”

Unsatisfied with that appearance, Angela also turned her back.

Now I have to forget about it and move forward, but Kaya is always in place.

No one forgets it and lives with it in their hearts.

Just like Wolfgang said, he has a soft personality. He was a man with too many janjeongs.

So Angela always had an awkward relationship with Kaya.

When Angela left, Kaya opened her mouth.

“Wolfgang, you should go back too. I can be alone here.”

Seeing her praying, Wolfgang silently frowned.

“you.”

“I’ll stay. And anyway… it’s uncomfortable to be with you, right?”

“···yes.”

He, too, turned and left the cemetery.

Left alone, Kaya prayed with her hands clasped tightly together.

May the two who closed their eyes early be happy.

Enter the long-awaited heaven and enjoy a peaceful afterlife.

And someday, I hope that the day will come when we will be reunited.

At the place where everyone left, Kaya alone honored the vacancy of her old comrade, and celebrated again.
