Dreadful Tempest

New Dawn

"ugh....."

Shinsha muttered as she slowly opened her eyes, her head feeling heavy and her whole body aching, the last thing she remembered is that she had defeated the elders of the sect and faint on the spot

'that's right......the battle..!!'

She then quickly tries to stand up before she notices a figure standing in front of her with one missing arm and a hole on his chest

"Zilong!! Hey! Are you still alive?!"

She quickly then went to support zilong body and gently put him on the ground

"You are......alive. thank god.."

Zilong muttered as his eyes began to lose color

"Don't talk! I'll try to stop the bleeding somehow!.....mulan...mulan!! Come help me!"

Hearing shinsha frantically shouting, zilong couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

"......i'm a terrible leader......i'm sorry......i'm sorry shinsha"

A drop of tear could be seen flowing down to his cheek, revealing the expression that full of regrets

Before shinsha could even ask him what happen, she turn her gaze toward the battlefield

And the scene, surprise her down to the core.

"What.....happens here---how....?"

"Terrible isn't it...? I'm a commander......yet i was the last one to fell down..."

"Then mulan too--"

"She---die because of my incompetence!! I'm sorry, i'm sorry........but not a single one from either side survive..."

The sentence immediately shattered shinsha heart. Her eyes began to get watery and her face is that of a shock expression

"Look at you---- sir rimuru would beat me up if he know i make you cry-"

"Stop talking!"

Zilong immediately shut his mouth after seeing shinsha began to force her smile while in tears

"At least you---you will be fine, don't worry"

Shinsha continue to force her smile as she slowly pick up zilong and out him on her back

"--shinsha..."

"Just hold on.....w-we will be fine....i promise"

After just a few steps, shinsha immediately collapse to the ground, her injured body couldn't afford to carry zilong even for ten steps ahead

"D-don't worry, i-i just slip out-"

As blood began to pouring out even more from zilong, he slowly muttered to shinsha ears

"I think....this is it for me-"

"No!! It's not!! At least you! At least you will survive!"

Zilong then let out a bitter smile as he can feel that his life slowly faded away

"After this.......would you still remember me shinsha?"

"Yes! Of course!"

"As the lousiest commander?"

"As the Glorious General!"

Zilong hearing this, widen his smile and finally......gone to sleep. For eternity.

"Why is this......damn it!....why is this!!"

Seeing zilong went on his way, shinsha started to cry, with all that she had. No matter what she is doing, her tears won't stop falling.

"It has ended. The unbelievable battle just ended, my lord"

The universes said with a solemn eyes.

"It does not. The battle that the those guy fought for has just began, from today onwards, their legendary deeds would save thousands if not millions of mortal from suffering. Those brave heroes just pave a new path in this beautiful world."

Rimuru replied as a single tears can be seen dropping on his white snow cheek

'God of respect and affection...'

The words that truly befit him.

"You are right my lord, this is the new beginning-"

Just as the universes want to continue it's words, rimuru suddenky put down his tea

"I'm sorry, but could you leave me alone for now?"

As rimuru said so, the universes shudder in incredible fear and immediately bow to him and dissapear from the thin air

No longer sensing it's presence, rimuru laid back on his chair while heaving a huge sigh

"My disciples---my proud disciples. You guys are really an awesome bunch."

<<Indeed. Indeed they are, master>>

After a few hours, rimuru then arrive at the battlefield and saw shinsha who is making grave for hundreds of peoples below.

"Your hand....the skins almost completely got peeled off"

Rimuru said as he descended beside shinsha.

"I'm fine. This much is nothing for me, papa, if you don't mind, could you olease help me?"

Rimuru smile as created another shover for himself.

"Let's do it by hands, they deserve it"

"I think so too"

And thus, the pair of father and daughter spend almost 5 days to completely make a graves.

Each of the graves is being made with such care and love.

After both of them are done, shinsha kneels down while rimuru slightly lowers his head toward the graves

The deeds of the great warriors will never be forgotten, the legends of those who change the millennium years of history, the song of their action will be heard for eternity to come, about how the mortals triumph over the Powerful
