The King of the Battlefield

Wait. I did not say I will give up.”

“Why can’t I keep my eyes off you?”

Bae Sungmin turned his vacant eyes, and they seemed to be lamenting something lost. Bae Suzy answered herself with another question.

“Why do I keep looking at you?”

“I…”

Bae Sungmin tried to speak something, but he closed his mouth again. He wanted to reveal that he was her father, but his body set the line between them. He was dead, and Bae Suzy was alive. They existed in entirely different worlds.

“If you won’t speak, I’ll find out even if I have to force you or even Muyoung!”

Bae Suzy’s willpower returned to her as she spoke sincerely. Bae Sungmin closed his mouth and grabbed his staff tightly.

‘You have grown well.’

Children grew fast, even when their parents turned around and were doing something else. Bae Suzy had been an exceptional child, and Bae Sungmin felt pride and sadness at the same time. Bae Suzy had grown to become an admirable woman, and he had not been able to be with her on that journey.

She would not leave the battleground until this war came to an end, and he could not stop her now.

Therefore, they had to win. Bae Sungmin raised his staff and opened the door to summon monsters who would join the battle.

“Do you see?”

Muyoung raised his head to look at Ars Paulina as she spoke.

“So many people gathered for you, Muyoung. Your wish has come true.”

“My wish?”

“You told me you did not want to be alone anymore.”

“I said that to you?”

Muyoung could not believe he had said that. Ars Paulina nodded.

“You wanted to do something more meaningful and overcome life, death, and everything in between.”

“I…don’t remember.”

“Are you sure that you just want to forget? You are not used to these kinds of things.”

Ars Paulina smiled. Their time had been stopped, and Muyoung was only staring at the time going by past them.

“Even if I did not forget, what would change?’

“Nothing, but you are not alone anymore. You did it. However, it is not enough.”

“I can only watch since Solomon’s divinity is trying to erase my existence.”

Muyoung and Solomon’s divinity were clashing and merging. Muyoung instinctively knew that he would not exist after this process was completed.
