Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 810
810. [LAST STAGE] Good night, good dream
reality, royalties.
In front of the crossroad gate.
Doo doo doo doo-!
Dark clouds are rushing towards the collapsed castle wall..
When the connection with foreign media was cut off, 'Sleepless Lake Princess' collapsed like a doll whose strings were cut..
Then, a group of monsters that had been waiting, surrounding Crossroads from the rear, began charging as if they had been waiting..
“…….”
The fallen heroes and soldiers silently watched the black tsunami rushing in and the end of the world marching by..
I no longer had the strength to fight.
Everyone stood up holding the injured area with their hands. They supported each other, and in place of the ruined wall, a wall was formed with human bodies..
Because they are the last walls of this world. Because it is the final stopping line of this world..
Everyone prepared to face a resolute end..
And, the moment the leader of the rushing monster touched the human wall..
Saaaaa…….
scattered.
like fog.
All the monsters, armed with strong teeth and claws, muscles and hatred, and who ran only to kill people, disappeared like bubbles..
The moment when Ash succeeded in closing the sky in the spirit world..
In Inse, all the monsters disappeared in an instant..
The group of nightmares disappeared like a lie.
Like the darkness that fleetingly disappears before the sunrise, the gathering dark clouds dispersed, leaving only the peaceful sunlight shining down on Crossroads..
People opened their eyes wide in surprise and looked around. Unable to believe their own eyes, they rubbed the corners of their eyes and looked at each other in surprise..
And, without worrying about who went first, we hugged each other and cheered..
“the nightmare is over!”
someone laughed,
“The nightmare is over!”
someone cried,
“we survived!”
everyone hugged.
“we saved the world……!”
But the people who embraced each other cried and laughed together..
A vacant lot in front of the castle gate, a little away from the people who are so mixed up and happy..
“…….”
Ader quietly looked down at the 'Sleepless Lake Princess' who was lying with her head on his lap..
Removing the burnt veil. As I quietly looked at the sleeping face of the person I miss,.
Ader quietly whispered.
“You are not the ‘Lake Princess who can’t sleep’.”
She is no longer the master of nightmares.
Because the nightmares are all over.
Ader slowly took out the shiny pieces from her pocket and held them. They were pieces of her soul that were recovered from the deepest part of the Lake Kingdom, given to her by Ash..
Ader slowly tilted his fingertips, and the pieces of soul that flowed down his palm fell onto her chest and were absorbed into her..
Saaaaa…….
‘The shadow of the nightmare remaining on the body of the sleepless lake princess slowly disappeared. Color slowly appeared on my pale skin, and a vague warmth lingered in my cold body..
She returned to ‘obscurity’.
But Ader knew.
Even if all the scattered pieces of her soul were brought back together, it would not be possible to completely restore what she had already lost..
The traces of the nightmare may be gone, but she made a burnt offering to save her world... … Because there is no way to get all the precious things back.
So Ader chose.
“I'll give you what I remember.”
The existence of her that he remembers.
My own existence that remembers her…….
to give it to her.
“I'll give you the world I remember.”
From her chest, where a hole had been pierced by the dark sword, Ader carefully took out a piece of her soul..
Among his all-grey soul, the only one that shines dazzlingly... … It was such a pure white piece..
“A little bit of me, as impure as dust, gets mixed into your noble soul... … Please forgive me?”
Ader clenched and unclenched his hand once, and the pieces of his soul crumbled into dust..
“It's the most precious thing I, a poor person, can give..”
Ader slowly dropped the memories of her, shining like stardust, that he had cherished most throughout his life, onto her chest..
“You are not the 'nameless one'.”
She is no longer unknown.
Because I will get my rightful name back.
“your name is ariel.”
slowly and carefully.
call her by her real name.
“your name is ariel.”
‘From 'Sleepless Lake Princess' to unknown.
And from obscurity, finally… … Ariel.
“Your name is Ariel.”
Everything Ader remembers about Ariel.
A piece of Ader that remembers Ariel.
It poured over her mosaic-like soul, seeped through the wounds, and held her soul together tightly..
At that moment, tears flowed down Ariel's closed eyes..
Carefully wiping away those tears with the other fingertip, Ader looked down at her with a sorrowful face.…….
“oh.”
He grabbed the last stardust-like piece of soul left in his hand..
“No. I can't give you this one.”
Ader looked carefully inside the last stardust..
That piece is a memory of one day.
It was a memory of a long day when Ariel gave him the name Ader..
“This is what you gave me... … Because it's my everything.”
Ader carefully placed the small piece of soul that remained like a grain of sand in her arms..
And smiled sadly.
“So, about a man with this name... … You can just forget about it now.”
He offered his own soul in exchange for healing all the broken wounds and burns left on Ariel's soul..
Ader chose to become forgotten..
So, just the memories of this name... … Die with yourself.
So that she never remembers him.
“All the sad nights, all the painful dreams, it's over now.”
Ader once again gently stroked Ariel's cheek, which was breathing peacefully..
“I hope the future will be filled with only good nights and good dreams..”
Ader slowly lowered her head, gently placed her forehead against hers, and made an earnest wish like never before..
“I must be happy, even my share…….”
While quietly looking at Ariel's sleeping face, Ader whispered in a hushed voice as if she would disappear..
“hi.”
the nightmare is over.
Everyone at Crossroads hugged each other, cried and laughed, happy that each other was alive..
At this moment when everyone was happy, a very small breakup passed by..
A really long breakup that no one can remember.

spirit world.
In this collapsing world, people were also preparing for separation..
“…….”
Emperor Traha stood on the deck of the secret ship La Mancha and looked at the collapsing spirit world..
To be exact, in the middle of this world, we see Ash saying goodbye to the members of the death squad he fought with..
4All kinds of tribal gods, including Daishin, came to Ash and asked him to take good care of their tribe..
Ash made it clear that he would get along well with all races..
Fernandez and Larque first greeted Traha and then headed to Ash..
Fernandez verbally harassed Ash, and Larque approached them and hugged them tightly, giving them a friendly hug. The two younger brothers screamed in pain..
Afterwards, the two older brothers spoke several times to their younger brother, asking him to take good care of their father and the empire..
The four red dragons hugged Ash once and exchanged good wishes..
Everyone was in a warm mood, but only the second Dusk Bringer cried during the hug, so Ash had to work hard to comfort her. The three previous dragons looked at this and laughed evilly..
Ash also exchanged greetings with the ancestral returnees. In particular, he had a long talk with his biological mother, Dustia..
Dustia said she was grateful for enduring the difficult journey, and Ash said she was grateful for always watching over him..
Ash then came into contact with the last branch of Everblack that was collapsing. Returnees who stayed with Everblack helped communicate with the tree..
Ash offered to transplant the saplings in exchange for royalties if Everblack wanted, but Everblack refused..
Now that the era of magic has ended, Everblack, a magically synthesized tree, can no longer survive on royalties. Everblack chose to meet his end here of his own free will..
Traha watches his son continue the conversation.…….
Someone flew onto the deck and stood next to Traha. Traha smiled bitterly and looked at the other person..
“They told me to go to hell, and they meet me here.”
“…….”
“I'm glad to see you again, Dustia..”
She was Traha's wife and Ash's biological mother, Dustia..
Dustia came over with a soft sigh and stood next to Traha. Traha gestured..
“What was life like in the spirit world??”
“It was always noisy because Feha was always fighting with the gods right next to that tree..”
“It was no different from when I was alive. Did they worry about me there too??”
“Ha, it can't be.”
“My personality is no different from when I was alive..”
“Your Majesty hasn't changed since I died..”
As they always did when they were alive, their expressions were calm as they talked as if they were arguing..
The couple watched their son together. Dusty opened her mouth.
“Ash took all these burdens off me..”
“…….”
“The curse of regression that had been passed down endlessly from generation to generation has finally disappeared. now… … I too can leave for the afterlife..”
“Not only the curse of regression has disappeared. We have destroyed all the grace that enveloped the world and all the laws that formed the foundation of our civilization..”
“To that extent, the stereotypes, yokes, and bad habits that have bound the world will disappear..”
Traha chuckled..
“He's already dead. Aren't you just looking too positively at the storm he'll bring??”
“We don't know what the world Ash has changed will look like in the future. But, my son… … You will do well.”
“…….”
“Even if you get lost and wander for a while, you will eventually find the star. therefore… … Future adventures too. You will do well.”
Dustia looked straight at Traha..
“I can't watch that child anymore. So, Your Majesty, you must take good care of our son..”
“Don't you see that I'm old? Now it's my turn to be taken care of.”
“To say something weak. The peacemaker.”
A smile crossed the lips of the two people..
“When I die I'll go to hell, but you'll go to a more peaceful place now.”
“…….”
“I wish we could meet again, but today will probably be the last time?”
“well. I don't know exactly what's behind this road…….”
Traha and Dustia's lips got closer..
“If Your Majesty falls into hell, I probably won't be waiting in the same place.?”
“Can I propose again then??”
“Of course I have to do it again. Because your proposal was the worst in my life..”
The two kissed slowly and eventually pulled away..
“Well then, it's time to part ways..”
“Bye. damn my love.”
Dustia left the deck, and Traha drove the aircraft and headed towards Ash..
Ash was caught by Salome and was having a hard time..
Ash said, 'I own it! 'Go away!' he tried to take her away, but Salome said, 'It's better because I have her!' She kept clinging to me as she screamed the same monstrous sound.
“ash!”
Traha shouted..
“There is no time! I have to leave now!”
Kugugugugung Palace……!
The spirit world was rapidly collapsing..
Ash, who had just thrown Salome away, nodded towards the Emperor and then looked around at the many people watching him..
Verbal greetings no longer had meaning and there was no time to share..
After exchanging glances with everyone, Ash flew towards La Mancha..
At the same time, the five Glory Knights began preparing the magical power reactor for dimensional transportation installed in La Mancha. It was the magic power that was moved and installed from the demon species' ship..
Giiiiiiing!
Although there was still enough magical power left in the spirit world, it was clear that the magical power supply would disappear from the moment the border crossed over to Royalty. For operation using magical power, magical power previously stored in the ship's storage was used as power..
The emperor was slightly amazed..
“At first, I wondered why they would transplant this alien magical power channel, but it turned out that this was a way to get their royalties back..”
“You wouldn't know it if I was the only one who came, but I am bringing His Majesty with me, so of course I prepared a means of retreat as a top priority..”
Ash grinned..
Even if the passage between the spirit world and royalties is closed, this is the secret plan prepared as a one-time way to return to royalties from the spirit world. It was La Mancha with the dimension transfer technique attached..
It was the moment when Ash, flying through the air, was about to hold the hand of the emperor standing at the end of the deck..
thud-!
Suddenly a strong tremor shook the area..
“……?!”
“……!”
A huge shock wave generated from the magic furnace engraved with the dimensional transfer technique swept through the area. La Mancha shook violently, and Ash was thrown backwards..
The hands of father and son crossed in the air..
The color drained from Traha's face..
“your majesty!”
At the same time, Hecate, who was preparing the dimensional transfer ceremony on the bridge, screamed..
“Dimensional transfer techniques are on the rise! As soon as we started supplying horsepower, it went into an arbitrary operating sequence.!”
As Coco, who installed the dimensional transfer technique, warned in advance. This alien magic power itself was in an extremely deteriorated state..
It had already been used once when entering the spirit world from Inse, so its durability had reached its limit..
Even during the Battle of the Spirit World, La Mancha had to fight a fierce battle. He was thrown into the sea of the spirit world, sank, and then miraculously surfaced..
In this process, the dimensional movement magic furnace, which is a delicate magic and machine, could not be completely intact..
In addition, a very unstable environment is added in which the spirit world itself collapses.…….
thud-! thud-! thud-!
Irregular vibrations erupted from the magic furnace one after another. Ash was pushed away again and again like a leaf caught in a storm..
Traha shouted urgently toward the bridge..
“Calm it down right away!”
“Impossible! Horsepower doesn't listen!”
“Then stop it from working first! Force it to stop! Ash is outside the ship.!”
“Ugh……!”
Hecate struck the stop button on the control panel several times with her magic power, then pulled out her sword and tried to forcibly cut off the connection between the magic furnace and the magic reservoir..
However, the amount of magical power required to operate this spell was too large and enormous for a single individual to handle..
Clang-!
Just hitting the sword on the joint shattered it and Hecate fell backwards..
Traha tried to stop the Void itself by infusing it with his consciousness, but the dimension transfer technique continued to run away regardless of the control of the Void itself..
The other Glory Knights shouted as they tried to stop the operation somehow..
“I can't control it, Your Majesty! If things continue like this, soon……!”
next moment.
flashing-!
The runaway dimension transfer technique was forcibly activated, ignoring all previous necessary processes..
The entire huge hull of La Mancha was enveloped in light, and split the space with a dazzling flash... … has disappeared.
He left Ash behind and went away with royalties..
“……This is why.”
Ash laughed helplessly as he watched the only way to return to royalties disappear before his eyes..
“You can't let down your guard until the end.…….”
Immediately after, the aftereffects of the dimension shift magic and the shock of the collapse of the spirit world swept the area..
Swept away by the violent tremors, Ash fell to the bottom of the collapsing spirit world..
