Chapter 114 – Part 1 Epilogue – The Story of Those Left Behind
A month has passed since Baron Armageddon, the de facto ruler of the Hermon Kingdom, and Luke, the hero who saved the world, were lost at the same time. And… So many things happened in between.
The goddess Crown Elia, who was a colleague of the hero, led her troops to the Armageddon male writer according to the request left by the hero the day before he disappeared. The henchmen of Baron Armageddon are, of course, very strong, but the influence of his evil powers is by no means small. So, according to Ellia’s story that if he was devoted to fighting the hero, his henchmen would also be weaker than usual, he persuaded the church to move his troops, and Hawk and also reluctantly moved famous mercenaries with faces, and Viola He gathered the scattered wizards and persuaded the wandering wizards to take revenge on the Baron Armageddon, the culprit of their tragedy.
The gathered forces to overthrow Baron Armageddon were unexpectedly threatening, but unfortunately, it did not happen that they soiled the floor of Baron Armageddon’s mansion with their dirty feet. The entire estate of Baron Armageddon was enveloped in a thick magical fog. The purpose of the hero’s companions failed because the huge magic barrier created by Mystrina, the Witch of the Mist, protected the lost territory from external enemies. No one knew where the hell the story came from.
Mystrina, the Witch of Mist, was one of the two most powerful wizards after the collapse of the Mage Tower, and no one could break through the magic fog, even the other, Cigarete, the Witch of Smoke, could not break her barrier yet. .
Cigarete had predicted, “That magic consumes a large amount of mana, so in the absence of Baron Armageddon, the barrier won’t last very long. A day at the most.” And it wasn’t until the fog that hung over Armageddon’s lands that lingered for a week that she retracted her comments.
Unless you are Baron Armageddon, who has infinite magical power, you cannot maintain a barrier that consumes such a huge amount of magical energy for a long time. However, the barrier did not disappear. Continued after the disappearance of Baron Armageddon and Luke.
“…What are you thinking?”
And the woman who entered through the magic barrier that almost cut off the Armageddon territory from the outside asked the woman in the robe in front of her eyes. Then she tilted her head and asked again.
“What do you mean?”
“Why did you let me through? For those of you who follow Baron Armageddon, I would be an enemy. Why did you bother to let me in?”
At those words, the woman in the robe, Mystrina, the Witch of the Mist, quietly laughed.
“Enemy, there’s no way. You’re a guest. A qualified guest. That’s why I was able to arrive here without wandering in the fog.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Yes, you are the one who received a lot of his affection.”
“I’m sorry…!”
At the blatant remark that exposed her private parts, she blushed and bit her lips. The past that I can’t bear to reveal to others, and I want to forget, but I don’t want to forget at the same time. The fact that she came to this land covered with her fog, in a way, must be close to the regret of that time.
“Am I wrong, female knight? Or… Shall I call you Royal Knight?”
“There’s no need for that. The Royal Knights disbanded shortly after the Queen disappeared.”
A female knight named Anje who came to the mist-covered estate following her memories of the past.
She was once the Royal Knight of Violence, a woman who directed the attack on Baron Armageddon and suffered all sorts of disgrace on behalf of her men as her chief, and was physically defeated by him.
*
Baron Ragna Armageddon and the hero Luke had a final bloody battle on a hill called the Warrior’s Grave near the temple where the immortal dragon was sealed, and as a result they were both destroyed.
The hero was the one who was credited with saving the world, and his death threatened to cause great confusion. Likewise, if it were known that Baron Armageddon, whose reign of terror was dead, would give those who hadn’t acted in fear of him a second chance.
Therefore, Selena, the first hero who confirmed the fate of the two, took their bodies to the Armageddon territory instead of announcing their deaths to the world. The hero’s remains were buried in one of the cemeteries within the territory, and the body of Baron Armageddon, as previously mentioned, became a power source to maintain the barrier to protect the Armageddon territory.
Baron Armageddon prepared for his own death from before, and the magical barrier protecting his territory was one of them. Instead of telling Selena everything she was curious about before the battle with Luke, he asked that after his death he give the body to Mystrina, the Maiden of the Mist, and Mystrina would give the estate to Baron Armageddon with his body after he died. Jekyll promised to make a guardian stone. And only those with the qualifications made it possible to enter the territory without getting lost in the fog.
That qualification means the presence or absence of enmity and malice toward Baron Armageddon and his people.
That’s why Ange, who was a former royal knight, honestly found it hard to believe that he had passed the barrier. In the meantime, I thought that I hated and hated Rag or Baron Armageddon, but the fact that I passed through the barrier guarding the territory without any obstruction meant that my true intention was not at all. And at the Armageddon territory, where Anje came to as if recalling memories, he encountered a person he never expected to meet.
“You are…”
“…!!”
Tyrant Violence. A tyrant who purged all those related to him with the power of dominion he once received from an immortal dragon and reigned as the dictator of the kingdom of Elheim. However, she was defeated by the hero Luke and lost her power. After that, she became the cause of a civil war among the nobles of the kingdom of Elheim who were looking for an opportunity. She had before her eyes the existence to which she had once unwillingly owed her allegiance due to the power of her dominion. But before her Anjie could say anything or show any emotion towards her, she fled in a fright as soon as her Anjie’s eyes met hers.
“Now, wait…!”
Ange ran after Violence, who had run away belatedly, but ran until her stamina was almost exhausted, and was able to confirm that she had hurriedly entered a certain hut. And it wasn’t until she arrived in front of the hut that Ange realized that something was wrong with her. Even though she was a knight in her own way, her stamina was trained, and she chased after Violence, whose stamina was weak, but she couldn’t catch her.
And that question was answered the moment I opened the cabin door and entered.
“There are two violins…?”
“You… Ange.”
“…”
Violence, who Anje had been chasing after her, was held in the arms of another who looked exactly the same.
“Twins…? But, he must have purged his entire family…”
“They’re not twins, they’re mother and daughter.”
Then, at some point, Mist Lina appeared behind her and answered her curiosity about Ange.
“Mother and daughter…? Nonsense. Violence’s mother died a very long time ago, and in those few months, such an eldest daughter could be born…”
“The power of magic is to make the impossible possible. Of course, it wasn’t normal magic, and she never wanted such a result. Now, her mother and daughter seem busy, so let’s go out for a while.”
And Anje heard from Mystrina about what had happened to Violence. After being taken down from the throne by the hero Luke, he wandered here and there as a spoil of civil war by the nobles of the kingdom of Elheim, and eventually had an unwanted child by an old nobleman who coveted the throne of the kingdom of Elheim, and due to the influence of dangerous magic That a child grows faster than a normal child.
“He looks like twins outwardly, but to my surprise, he’s not even a year old yet.”
“A child less than a year old? But, he ran so fast that I couldn’t catch him…”
“That child’s body grew too fast due to the excessive growth magic. His mind did not grow, but his body became a grown-up baby. So, to resolve the gap between the mind and body, various magics must be mobilized. I did. His mental age now is… I think he’s probably around 7 now.”
“Under…”
A few months after the disappearance of the queen who manipulated others at will, her body is an adult, but her mind has a daughter who is seven years old. The more she listened to the story, the more her mind grew farther away, and in the end, Ange gave up on understanding her.
“But why is she here?”
“Her Baron Armageddon took her from the brink of death and saved her.”
“Baron Armageddon saved it? Why the hell? For what reason?”
“I can’t tell you because it’s a top secret.”
“If you’re going to tell me, you have to tell me until the end… Wait! Why is that person still here?!”
And Anje met people who couldn’t be here again. It was full of famous people such as actors, dancers, artists, mercenaries, and even a high-ranking noblewoman. There were even the hero’s companions, Viola and Hochna. And their biggest characteristic was that they were women who had ties to Rag and Armageddon. To Anje, who was trying to send her suspicious eyes toward them, Myst Rina, who claimed to be her guide, laughed and whispered in her ear.
“You’re right.”
“What, what…?”
“All the women who came here through the barrier from the outside, like you, came back without forgetting the memories of being embraced by Baron Armageddon.”
“…”
At those words, Ange turned the scornful gaze he was trying to send towards them. She realized that she was not in a position to speak.
“It’s a barrier intended to let only those who aren’t hostile to Baron Armageddon, but somehow it feels like a kind of secret tourist destination where only the women the Baron hugged are looking for.”
“That human, how many women did he mix with?”
“Hmm… Mr. Ange, do you remember how many breads you’ve eaten so far?”
“Let’s not talk.”
Eventually, Mystrina led Ange to the center of the Armageddon estate, the mansion of the Baron Armageddon.
“This is the mansion where Baron Armageddon stayed with the women he loved the most during her lifetime. Of course, Mr. Ange already knows about it.”
“Can you forget? I’m in the dungeon of that mansion… Ugh.”
Just remembering that day made her bottom get wet, so Anjie bit her lips to get rid of the thought.
“Rather than that, while alive? Then Baron Armageddon…”
“He passed away.”
“Then, how do you maintain the barrier that protects this territory? The witch of the kingdom of Elheim said that if the man didn’t have infinite magical power, the magic fog wouldn’t be able to last for long. …”
“Sorry, but that’s also top secret. Only those involved can know about it, and in addition, that mansion can now only be accessed by authorized officials.”
At those words, Ange was convinced that there was something important inside that mansion… But he couldn’t bear to run into it and shake off Mystrina. The fog covers the entire Armageddon territory, and everything inside the fog is the witch’s control area. Unless she was focused on something else, it was impossible to enter the mansion. However, Ange, who entered this misty manor alone without a companion to help her, could not have done that. In the end, she followed Mystrina’s guidance and left her mansion, which maintained her appearance at that time, from her mansion. I had to step back.
In the innermost part of the mansion, in the room Baron Armageddon used during his lifetime, the power source that maintains the barrier protecting the territory.
Leaving behind the remains of Baron Ragnar Armageddon, who rests in a dark red crystal.
“By the way, what the hell is that monstrosity that’s being sold over there?”
“Oh, that one? It’s a popular local specialty these days.”
“Special product? That one?
“It’s a self-consolation tool based on Baron Armageddon’s actual object. It’s not all about simply inserting and removing it, but it also includes a function that allows it to move on its own even when it’s still, so it’s quite popular among the women who visit. It’s still only 40% reproducible. However, female customers who visit the estate always purchase at least one item. How about Mr. Anje?”
“…”
Afterwards, Ange robbed half of her money and bought three types of dildos, the most expensive of her specialties.

When Selena returned with the remains of Baron Armageddon, she at first caused many to weep. However, their sadness was short-lived, and soon they prepared for the future according to the instructions left by Baron Armageddon during his lifetime. And a woman who became a pillar for his women to stand up without being discouraged, the maid Mia, who was the most favored by the Armageddon woman and who was in charge of the lord’s work on his behalf, looked at the crystal containing the remains of Baron Armageddon after processing all the documents of Chi today. .
“…Master, it’s already been a month since I haven’t felt your warmth. I wanted to follow you by your side, but… I can’t do that. Everyone is having a hard time, but I can’t feel comfortable on my own. Master wouldn’t want that either. So I tried my best as always. Managing the estate on behalf of the master, comforting everyone every day… To be honest, I’m really tired, but I can’t help it. Only I can do it, and I have to do it. Because that’s what you do.”
Mia smiled bitterly as she carefully ran her hand over the surface of her crystal.
“Sometimes I feel very resentful of my master. He said he believed in me, gave me the biggest and heaviest burden, and then left. To be honest, I’ll never forgive him. That’s why…”
Eventually, looking at the man she couldn’t hold anymore through her hard crystal, Mia hung her head, holding back her tears.
“As promised, please come back. So… Tell me. Thank you for your hard work, thank you for trusting me, and… I love you.”
