Great Strike Exia - The Brave Legend

Great Strike Exia - ???

Chapter <???>

Hello?

Anybody there??

Tenmei Akiro tried to swim through the spacious void, only to realize he could not feel his legs or hands. Anything. Nothing.

Only one thing was left after the final blow, and that was his mind. His conscious.

He knows he is still Tenmei Akiro, he still remembers what caused this to happen.

He still seemed to hear Haru crying out his name.

Either he still could hear, or it was a slice of memory replaying in his sole mind.

Tenmei Akiro couldn't differentiate which from which anymore.

Mayhap the blast of light from the Herunian Deity has destroyed his corporal form so efficiently that he didn't even realize he was dead and now drifting in Herunia's cycles as a lone soul light.

It must be so, Tenmei concluded, I am dead.

Then as all things that die, this mind will also eventually perish. Along with the memories, the feelings, and the last reminiscence of sensations when they were yet active.

He is about to disappear at any given moment.

Any second by now.

Tenmei Akiro would admit candidly that he is afraid.

So...this must be how Miula Haru felt, after learning about the truth of her deteriorating health.

It is not only terrifying but also demotivating. Like poison that stimulates fear weaker than pain more than an itch, that pierces the light heart like a thorn in an old sweater. Constantly reminding one of an inevitable end that will mercilessly wipe out all the efforts that one wishes to strive for.

Fearing every step of endeavor is either going to fail or end at the moment before success.

This is the world of Miula Haru. Yet even knowing that sending the Seed back would end her life eventually, she still sought to do the right thing, to keep the world and Herunia intact.

That is truly remarkable...Tenmei Akiro praised with the nonexistent mouth that was no longer there for him to express his admiration.

At least, they tried. Tenmei Akiro recalled the last moments of the end of the world.

If I had tried to communicate more with King Varche, would he hesitate in breaking the blessed realm?

Or maybe he should have never invited Varche into Herunia?

It was a bet to save Sora and the Herunian Beast, and Haru also.

Maybe there really is hidden wisdom to save Haru, the same way King Varche could save his loved one.

Maybe we should have trusted Varche more...?

Tenmei was lost. Even reduced to only his mind left Tenmei still managed to entangle himself through boggling questions he himself couldn't answer.

Because most of the questions are no longer relevant.

What has happened has happened, and there is no way to undo the things anyone has done.

It's time to let go.

At that moment, Tenmei was amazed that without his eyes he still could see the environment in front of him turn brighter than the dull paleness that was.
