Chapter 38: What Had Remained

In the other side of the battle field, the Disaster of Floods knelt down in defeat. Her current state was heavily injured and she wasn't controlled anymore.

"I'm glad I came in this round," she spoke solemnly. Her voice weary and it felt like she was talking with dry throat.

Jung Heewon stood behind her as the two men stood in front. They listened to the disaster, heeding her final words before she will disappear.

"It's kinda messy here, isn't it?" Kim Dokja smiled bitterly as the sun finally rises. But the radiance automatically disappeared, and a heavy current of wind started to flow around them.

Yoo Junghyuk, Jung Heewon, and the others couldn't ignore it. Their eyes darted around before frowning above.

"It is kind of messy," the disaster spoke and chuckled. "I wish I could help you out... But I'm..."

She stared at her own palm. It was cracked, not the usual one in human skin, but rather, it was a crack that looked like from a breakable vase—she was breaking to pieces.

"I want to ask you something," Yoo Junghyuk limped toward her, his hand placed on his rib.

"Who is the demon who helped you cross between worlds?"

Kim Dokja could read his thoughts. Not only his, but also the disasters'. He knew that the Junghyuk she knew wasn't this one, yet they already understood each other without voicing out words.

Shin Yoosung, the disaster, smiled.

'You haven't changed at all.'

"Have you heard of The Demon of the Horizon?"

"I know the name," Junghyuk answered.

"You'll meet him if you're unlucky," she added, "But don't try to fight it. You will never win no matter how hard you try."

As her words registered into Junghyuk's mind, his decision was made. Kim Dokja could hear it.

'Revenge.'

The wind started to howl, filling the gap of silence between them. As much as they wanted to talk more for the last time, the situation has more unfinished business for them.

The disaster looked at the cyclone above.

"Protect this round from that monster."

Kim Dokja nodded.

"We will."

Her body started to crumble to ashes, and she slowly disappeared. After a thousand years of waiting, her suffering has finally ended.

'Goodbye, Captain.'

Yoo Sangah, Lee Hyunsung, and the other incarnations could only stare at the cyclone in terrified wonder. The omen it emitted had turned the whole peninsula from chaos to silence.

"W-What is that?.." Jihye pointed.

[The constellations are shaking in fear!]

Even the mighty being known as constellations felt it.

This is otherworldly chaos.

[The constellations are demanding assistance from the Bureau!]

"Hyunsung!" Jung Heewon ran towards them as the two men followed.

Kim Dokja's worry relieved a little after seeing the kids were fine, but his worry got bigger when he couldn't find Rimuru.

"Rimuru hasn't come back yet?"
