Starting a Reversal in Life From the Time of Release

65 – The End (4)

“Damn bastard…!”

A dragon covered in large black scales snarled, revealing its thick and sharp fangs.

The dragon was Karra, and it stared at the blue scales emerging before its eyes, flickering with red eyes.

The dragon with blue scales was Silla.

“Seeing you angry, I think I made the right choice by coming.”

“You…!”

When Silla sneered with a voice mixed with a sigh, Karra’s fangs gritted.

A creepy thud! A sinister sound reached Silla’s ears as it echoed through the sky.

“Why are you so anxious? It’s no wonder that the beasts you painstakingly created are being torn apart and the foundation itself is crumbling.”

“I should have killed you back then…!”

“What good does feeling regret do now? It’s all pointless.”

Silla’s voice was low and heavy, but it sounded mocking to Karra’s ears.

Falling trees.

Dying demons.

Karra felt increasingly anxious as he found himself cornered.

Not only anger, but also the future where those vermin-like humans would clean up the demons.

The future was too clear.

Should he flee now?

Karra secretly thought that way, but he couldn’t give up the territory he had gained over the dark ages.

Moreover, even if he tried to escape, he couldn’t rely on the demons to lure and run away as before…

“You’ve prepared thoroughly enough to make me sick. Where did you find such humans?”

Come to think of it, it was ridiculous that they could discover this hiding place.

It’s unimaginable that someone could see through the magic unleashed by fellow demons.

All because of the strange vibration that not even the dragon could detect…

“I can see your thoughts clearly. It seems you’re concerned about the principle behind the vibrations that led to the discovery of your hiding place.”

“…And do you know what that principle is?”

I don’t know. Silla reflexively tried to say those words, but twisted its mouth instead.

He looked very sinister as he burst into laughter in the form of a dragon.

[ It’s no use for someone who will face death even if they refuse the embrace of mana. Just obediently die. ]

In fact, it’s not just Yoo Si-hoo.

Not only Yoo Si-hoo.

Why did the existence of awakeners come into being with the appearance of the gate?

Silardo doesn’t know the reason either.

Whether it’s because humans who lived by different laws adapted to new laws and mana, or if there is another reason.

He is just assuming that if the gate had some influence, awakeners would disappear once it closed.

Originally, he had no interest in it.

Of course, since he intends to maintain the gate himself, there wouldn’t be such a situation…but…

[ …Are you going to mock me until the end!! ]

Regardless of how it turned out, Carla, who didn’t know the truth, was infuriated.

Straightforward and simple, but it was quite frightening with dozens of spells flying towards her.

Even so, Silardo calmly blocked Carla’s attacks and observed the situation below.

To investigate the situation, it would be best to provoke Carla and find an opportunity.

And that plan worked perfectly.

While another dragon probably wouldn’t have responded to this level of provocation, Carla was as impulsive as her radical thinking.

‘ Hmm…? ‘

In the midst of fighting Carla, Silardo slightly furrowed his eyebrows.

It wasn’t because there was a gap in receiving dozens, hundreds of spells, but because his sensitive perception had been touched by a strange feeling.

And, if Silardo could feel it, it meant Carla could feel it too.

[ What’s going on…! ]

As Carla growled and casually glanced downward, Silardo was also looking in the same direction.

Originally, it would be natural to take advantage of the gap in Carla and pierce her throat with his claws, but it felt very unfamiliar.

That feeling was flowing from the island, and if the awakeners were by his side, they would have provided an accurate explanation.

It was a situation of the reappearance of the awakeners, which the two dragons, who had no interest in the world and kept to themselves, had never encountered.

The pure surge of mana was swirling like a whirlpool, permeating through the body of a man.

The surges caused by mana stirred up the wind and drove away monsters, and also instilled fear.

Even if it was a fearless horse, one could not help but calmly observe this dramatic change.

The man, Yoo Si-hoo, who had been resurrected, led his much lighter body forward.

There had been signs of resurrection before, but today the flower finally bloomed.

Resurrection does not grant a new ability.

But the depth of the original physical abilities he possessed.

The efficiency of awakening abilities.

The total amount of mana, etc., had all significantly increased.

Especially if it went from A to S, the difference was extremely severe.

The moment the vibrations created from a distance hit the horse.

It shook his internal organs as if it had been struck up close.

Sometimes, it even shattered them.

Yoo Si-hoo confirmed the significantly changed state of his body in battle and adjusted accordingly.

The sacrifices and costs were paid by the horses.

Seo Ha-nul and Yi Yeoreum, who had recovered their bodies late and rushed over, could not close their mouths at the sight.

Yoo Si-hoo’s resurrection.

And the situation caused by that resurrected hunter.

“I will take the lead. Please assist me, both of you.”

When Yoo Si-hoo said he would take the lead, the two nodded with closed mouths.

The combat style was different from the cases where Yoo Si-hoo provided assistance, but they quickly adapted.

Thanks to that, they were able to break through the military power of the horses and reach the front of the tree.

Alex, Mari, and Isaac, who happened to be on the tree, greeted them happily.

“No…!”

They couldn’t go on any longer.

Kalla was so urgent that she tried to fly with all her might towards the almost cut tree.

Even if there was a limit to her sacrificing a pair of arms and legs to Cilla, she had to deal with those vultures.

That was the only thought that filled her mind.

However, ultimately, it only resulted in a handshake.

No matter how much she overlapped her magic for defense, her intention was too obvious.

It was a perfect opportunity for Cilla, who had been waiting for a chance.

Therefore, without missing that opportunity, she was able to sting them very decisively.

[ Kyaah!! ]

Kalla screamed like a banshee as she plummeted downward.

One of her steel-like black wings was torn in half, and a searing sensation coursed through her entire body.

Sila cast continuous spells to prevent Kalla from performing any futile maneuvers as she swooped by.

Kalla quickly regained her composure, unlike when she first pierced through the gap, but she still appeared severely weakened.

In that brief moment when Sila tore through Kalla’s wings.

Thanks to the curse that left her powerless to exert strength.

[ These damn vultures…!! ]

Kwoong! A terrifying roar filled the air as Kalla seethed with anger.

This was because, during her fall, a massive tree came crashing down with a thunderous noise.

[ Today, finally, you will die here. It’s been a long time coming. ]

Above was Sila.

Below, a hunter team waited, catching their breath.

The situation was almost as dire as having no way out, but Kalla still clung to hope, even in this predicament.

However, in the end, it was nothing more than a faint glimmer of hope.

.

“…Really? Could it be that the dragon from the old tales was responsible for all this…?”

Several days passed since the harrowing ordeal of life and death.

I visited the place where Mr. Alberto stayed, along with Marie after a long time.

His eyes widened in disbelief as he listened to the story we had experienced a few days ago.

It was hard to believe because the words seemed too fantastical.

However, both Marie and I spoke without contradiction, and, more importantly, there was hardly a trace of disbelief in his expression.

The black dragon Kalla with one wing torn was falling.

And below, two hunter teams were binding the dragon’s ankles.

No matter how powerful an S-class dragon might be, creating an opening was possible.

Especially when there were two S-class dragons, it was relatively easy to create a gap and slip in.

Originally, Kalla’s master should have created an opening for Sila.

In the end, the gap we created killed Kalla.

“I should probably inform the mages about this story. If it’s true, there’s no need to operate the Distortion Realm so strenuously.”

Alberto seemed at a loss for words, laughing as if he had a lot to do.

Then, he held both my and Mari’s hands, showing a gaze filled with intricate emotions.

“…You’ve worked hard. Really worked hard.”

Worked hard.

Hearing those words brought a sense of recognition and satisfaction.

A strange surge of emotions overwhelmed me all at once.

“Right. Now that the crack has been taken care of, shouldn’t we have a proper meal to celebrate?”

As we were discussing that,

Alberto’s sudden question left me speechless.

It felt as if a wrong move would choke me to death.

“C-Cough! By ‘meal’, do you mean… a wedding?”

Upon hearing the word ‘wedding’, Mari by my side widened her eyes.

It seemed like her heart was leaning towards having a proper celebration.

With a questioning gaze, Alberto spoke as if wondering why it was even a question.

“Of course we should have one. It’s a given. I apologize to this child, but we should have a wedding together with Charlotte. Oh, and those two women who have been following you… we should make them concubines…”

Just when I thought I had overcome a life-and-death moment, another one came along.

When I heard the words about having a wedding with two women, my head started spinning.

Even though I’m just a servant, what can I possibly say about this?

“I’m looking forward to it. Right?”

Mari crossed her arms and smiled brightly.

Fortunately, it seemed she didn’t mind having a wedding with Charlotte.

The difference in values that arise from the difference in our worlds brought me great joy.

I let out a short sigh and wondered how I should settle the matter of the servant’s accounts.
