8 min read1,890 words

The Titan fell. And with one breath, part of Diane was erased. I know. Attacks with weapons other than relics are ineffective. In the original, Eren and Ludvig could fight. Others had to destroy monsters while leaving the dragon to them. Others couldn't attack it in the first place. Ludvig summoned a divine being using Alsvinr and annihilated the dragon together. I thought there might be new events as the situation is different from the original. The fact that Ellen's lament has changed or that she has obtained the cloak of the sun is a situation that did not exist in the original. So I thought that the Void Dragon could be dealt with in a different way than in the original. Even without using Alsvinr, I thought I could get past this last situation. But it was a funny thought. When I saw part of the army erased with one breath, all other possibilities disappeared from my mind. We can fight. Surely, Ellen and I can fight it. But even if we can kill it without using Alsvinr, there will be nothing left afterwards. -Grrrr! Overwhelming violence. The dragon of this world. This will be the last absurdity I have to face. Me being hit by the unsatisfactory thing I created. Me paying the price. The task was already set. Killing that last monster using Alsvinr in this place. From the moment Alsvinr was in my hand, it was my destiny. Some questions lingered in my mind, but it was not the time to think about them. If there is something to be done, it must be done. Because I've been doing it until now. The fact that what I have to do now is the last thing I have to do is a little different. Everything I've done to survive, not to die, has disappeared. When the violence described in writing became a reality and appeared before my eyes, all other thoughts disappeared. But the Immortal's forces are still chasing me from behind. All warp gates have disappeared. There are still a huge number of monsters that have already been vomited out, but no more monsters appear now. We just have to deal with that dragon. I look back. The Immortal's forces, which are still powerful and trying to kill me, despite the huge losses that followed me. I'm annoyed by the back. It doesn't matter if it follows me, but it also needs to be finished now. Immortals won't be of any help in fighting it. The remaining monsters can be dealt with by the Allied Forces alone. Then the Immortal is just a threat. So. There's no need to run away anymore. No one has to risk their lives to face the Immortal. "Now..." I take something out of my arms. -Thump I press the button on the artifact fiercely. -Pop! Two people appear in front of me in an instant. "We don't need the Immortal anymore." And in a moment. The Immortal's forces chasing the protagonist disappear in a wave of power. Two people appear in front of the protagonist, Scarlet and Kono Lint, who were waiting for the protagonist's signal. They will neutralize all the Immortals. Scarlet can turn the Immortals to dust with little effort, and Kono Lint can move her quickly around the battlefield. The protagonist decides to face the Void Dragon with Alsvinr, realizing that avoiding the fight will only lead to more deaths. Ellen arrives and easily cuts off the dragon's head with her Void Sword. The protagonist is left wondering what just happened. However, those who saw this scene from afar would be shouting with joy and amazement at the dragon that had been neutralized in one blow by the dragon that had been chasing the protagonist. But there would be no one more surprised than me, no matter who was brought from all over the world. That's not a monster that dies like that. So easily. It's not a monster that disappears so easily. It wasn't even a fight. Ellen just swung her Void Sword like she was cutting any other monster. The Void Sword that cuts anything. If the power of the Void Dragon and Lament of this world are essentially the same, can the Void Dragon of this world be cut off? Only I know how absurd this is. I tried to use Alsvinr. However, Ellen easily cut off the enemy I had been struggling with all this time. Whatever happened, I didn't use Alsvinr. Was that last monster destined to disappear so easily after Ellen's Lament took on the form of emptiness? However, I couldn't be sure if the Void Sword would work on it. The Void Sword can cut 'anything', but I knew that relics couldn't be cut. But the Void Dragon of this world was not an exception to the Void Sword. I should be happy. Yes. I should be happy. But I know that's not the case. The dragon disappeared. The Gate incident will end when we clean up the remaining monsters around here. Scarlet can handle the Immortals. But. My work is just beginning now. That's why I can't be happy. -Tat! Ellen, who seemed to have almost flown into the sky, landed lightly on the ground. -Shoot! In the place where the Void Dragon of this world had become a huge open space, Ellen was looking directly at me, wet with rain. "......" About a hundred meters away. The distance is not that far. The Void Dragon of this world disappeared too easily. Anyway, I have to face something in this place. It just changed from the Void Dragon of this world to another existence. I have to face a hero. Somehow. When I saw the Void Dragon of this world, I thought I had to use Alsvinr. And I actually tried to use it. But what would happen to the future I saw if I did? The future where I die and Ellen dies. What was that? The thought briefly crossed my mind. This is how it turns out. Using Alsvinr to hunt down the Void Dragon of this world was never possible. Ellen looks at me in the rain. No, that's not Ellen. A collection of souls that dominate Ellen's body. Probably a collection of some ancient spirits that have become larger and more massive than before. It definitely has a will. When I first met it, I definitely talked to it. Can I win? I fought countless times in my dreams. I died countless times. But can I win in this fight that has become a reality? It was a predetermined event. Translation:

I am the son of the demon king, and Ellen is the sister of a hero. It was bound to happen someday. Ever since I got closer to Ellen, I had a feeling that this moment would come. Even though I knew it would happen eventually, I didn't hesitate to get closer to Ellen. This is the price to pay. If I had avoided Ellen from the beginning, there would have been no sacrifice of anyone else and nothing would have happened. Despite knowing that I would regret it, I got closer to Ellen. I secretly knew that I would have to fight Ellen with my life on the line in some way. It was a predetermined course of events. They easily passed the final hurdle. With that, there will be no more sacrifices of others to the dragon of the underworld. Instead, only I will face the trial. A cruel trial that only I will face. I have to defeat Ellen. No, it's not enough to just win. I have to recover Ellen without killing her. I have to subdue her and even get her back. I have to fight a battle with little chance of winning, even if I fight with the determination to kill. I have to fight without even the determination to kill. Is that possible? Still, I know one thing. If the future I saw is correct, if I lose, it's not just me who dies. Ellen, who killed me, will take her own life. I can kill it by sacrificing my life against the dragon of the underworld, but I can't die this time. I can't even fight with the determination to kill. If I die like that, Ellen will die with me. The Gate incident is over, and the last monster is dead. But will there be a day as terrible as today for me? The pouring rain hits its face and eyes. It looks like it's crying endlessly without any expression. No, it's a being that is definitely crying. "Demon King...." It sounded like several voices overlapping. It was a creepy sound that made my eardrums and soul feel like they were being torn apart just by listening to it. Just listening to that voice made me feel the pain and fear I felt when it swallowed me up. How long did Ellen endure it? The embodiment of hatred towards me. The collection of all the anger and sadness of those who had to lose too much without guilt. It clearly said to me that it would take everything I love. "Let's end this now," it says. With a short and simple declaration of war, it slowly walks towards me. In the deepest part of the completely evaporated Diane, there are only Ellen and me. The roar of the battlefield and the screams of monsters are far away. -Shoo-ah-ah-ah-ah -Snap. That's why I could hear the sound of stepping on a puddle in the rain. This place, which has become a huge pit, will not be watched by anyone. -Snap -Wooh-rrung. Not desperate or hasty, but definitely calm footsteps that have narrowed the distance. The atmosphere is different. Ellen, who has reached the master class, was not only covered in blue aura armor, but also had an unknown pale smoke emanating from her body. It must be the power of numerous spirits. Their true purpose is not to end the Gate incident, but to kill me. So, they will use the strongest power and do everything they can to try to kill me. -Gooooo. Strange vibrations and faint echoes emanate from Ellen's body. She is probably the strongest among humans right now. Such a being is wearing the sharpest sword and the hardest armor in the world. The vessel named hero contains the anger of all those who died because of the demon king. It would be strange if the last enemy to face in order for the demon king to rule the world was not the one in front of me. Among numerous unfavorable conditions, the only fortunate thing is that I am different from the dragon from another world that Ellen cut down with a single blow. I confirmed before that the Void Sword cannot ring the holy artifact. -Snap! Ellen approaches me with a light sound of kicking a puddle of water and swings the Void Sword lightly. Her light and calm leap, and the trajectory of the Void Sword approaching with a roar, even looked beautiful. The Void Sword clearly cannot ring the holy artifact. -Jjeoeong! "Kku...ugh!" However, I could not withstand it just because it did not cut me. The Void Sword's single strike. I blocked it and my wrist broke.
