Chapter 258 – The Finale
We returned to the original dimension, looking at the collapsing Chaos Alcatraz as time stopped due to 〈 Time Stop 〉 passed again.
If my prediction is correct, it would be safe to say that this guy’s stamina is almost at an end with the damage he’s done now.
But don’t let down your guard. I may have calculated it wrong.
No one here foolishly recite resurrection spells. I tried not to even recall the words of that spell in my head.
We slowly looked at the collapsed Chaos Alcatraz, unable to move at all. Even while we are moving next to him, he doesn’t move at all.
And we were able to move from the side body of Chaos Alcatraz to the head.
《Keu…》
The moment we arrived, a small voice was heard from the guy’s mouth and everyone immediately got into a fighting stance. But nothing happened to him.
All I could hear was barely breathing.
《I… Never thought I would be treated by such a weak person… I tried to make this world also Demon’s…》
Well, this part is the same as the setting in the game. However, it is unknown why it wants to transcend the dimension and devour the world. I don’t even want to know.
“If it’s loud and you’re going to die, don’t talk nonsense and get out quickly.”
《Ugh… Don’t think this is the end. Our Demon is immortal…》
Chaos Alcatraz made an unlucky sound and parts of his body gradually turned to dust and began to disappear.
But even though I got this far, I didn’t relax. Because I don’t know what this guy will do. I have no intention of saying that spell until I see him completely disappear with my own eyes.
The time it took for Chaos Alcatraz’s body to gradually turn to dust, starting from the back, may not have been very long, but it felt like an incredibly long time.
How many times have I shouted that I just need to take down this guy? Since that moment was about to happen right in front of our eyes, we couldn’t act in a hurry, so we all just quietly watched him disappear.
And the moment his body completely turned into dust and disappeared…
“I finally got it done!!”
Without realizing it, I was so happy that I jumped in place and shouted.
“You finally defeated that monster.”
“Well, we’ve come a long way. Is it all over now?”
Ellie muttered in a low voice next to me, and Renia, relieved that everything was finally over, released 〈 Spirit Integration 〉 and sat down on her floor.
“Master, thank you for your hard work.”
“Ugh! I’m exhausted, I’m exhausted!”
Lien came next to me and knelt down to congratulate her on her victory, while Noah lay down on his back and cried out.
“I congratulate God on the victory of the temple. All of this is according to God’s will…”
“Jinu! Congratulations!”
Freyja is also shown praying to Me as she kneels next to Lien, and Rachel is shown following Freyja as she offers her prayer.
“Tsk! It’s finally over, Jinu!”
Yuria, who was in the air while riding her Minercia, confirmed that her Chaos Alcatraz was gone and immediately got down and jumped onto my back, pressing her chest against her back.
Yes, you can say that the long, long journey has finally come to an end.
Ah… How long I’ve waited for this day…
If only Chaos Alcatraz was defeated…
If only Chaos Alcatraz was defeated…
If only Chaos Alcatraz was defeated…
How many times have you thought about this? I really don’t know how many times I thought about it.
And finally the day has come. Haha!
If I were alone right now, I might have done a crazy top dance of joy. To be honest, based on the expression on his face, he’s already done dancing.
“Now, this is the last one. All we have to do is check Numeron, the dimensional gate that Gaia is blocking.”
“Ah, I see. Gaia was blocking the demons by herself.”
The biggest obstacle, Chaos Alcatraz, has been defeated, so all you have to do is stop there and the whole situation is over.
Everyone who heard me moved back to where Numeron, the dimensional gate that had fallen far away during the battle with Chaos Alcatraz, was located.
There, Gaia was seen still blocking the door.
“Ah! Jinu! What happened to Chaos Alcatraz!”
Gaia saw us approaching and shouted as if she was happy. No, she was exactly glad to see it.
“Yeah! I barely made it.”
It was truly a battle with many twists and turns. It was dangerous when he took advantage of a gap in his pattern and attacked. Thanks to that, Ellie got hurt instead of me.
She didn’t even know that she would enter Phase 3 on her own and destroy the Dragon Heart by using Demerit, whose physical strength decreases over time, by fusing it with a human.
The last 〈 sudden bug caused by time stop〉 and 〈 space distortion〉 was of great help.
“What happens there now? If we seal it again, will demons no longer be able to come over to this world?”
“Uh… That won’t be right… Demons will still come here and try to invade our world. I have to watch over the demons that try to break through the seal and make sure they don’t break the seal.”
What? So you can’t be that satisfied with today’s victory?
When I think about it, I remember what Chaos Alcatraz said when he died.
I told you not to think this is the end.
So does that mean I have to see him again? Of course, only the species of demon called Chaos Alcatraz will be the same, and they will be completely different opponents.
Still, I don’t want to deal with him again.
“But don’t worry! Thanks to Jinu-sama and the hero’s efforts, we will be able to prevent any demons from crossing this dimension for the time being!”
Hmm… Should I believe that? No matter what I hear from Gaia, I can never trust it…
“Gaia, the power you used to send us back to the original world this time. How long did it take to recover that much?”
“Huh? Uh… Jinu-sama relieved the demons from coming in to some extent, so I was able to recover quite a bit of my strength at once. Maybe… About 2 months? I think it took some time!”
2 months… It’s more than you think, right?
“Then, since there are no demons in this world now, it won’t take long to regain that level of power, right?”
“Uh… Right… I guess?”
As I was talking to Gaia, I felt a stab in the back from behind, so I turned her head and saw Yuria’s face with an expression on her face asking what she was talking about.
“What are you talking about?”
“Um… If we do well… You too can go to the world I lived in like Ellie?”
The moment I spoke, surprise appeared on everyone’s faces. A few people looked like they knew this would end up like this.
“Really? Are you sure we can go out and have fun?”
“Have fun… I wouldn’t go have fun if I had to, but I feel like it wouldn’t be impossible?”
If the power that Gaia used to send us all back to the original world and then summon us back is only the power recovered in two months, it means that if we restore the power as much as possible, we can return to the original world once again.
I told my parents I couldn’t see this again, but they might show me in embarrassment again.
“Do you plan to go back to your original world?”
Ellie asked quietly. It seems like everyone besides Ellie has the same thoughts.
“Oh, I think so. Of course, I have no intention of going back right away and I have to go after restoring Gaia’s power.”
“Eh? Are you going back?”
Gaia, who was listening to our story, also asked in a surprised voice.
“Of course, given Chaos Alcatraz’s last words and what you said, there is no guarantee that demons will not come to this world like now. Then, we need to prepare accordingly.”
Chaos Alcatraz said this is not the end. In other words, demons will continue to try to invade this world until they devour it, and we are destined to constantly stop them.
It doesn’t matter if all enemies are cut off by Gaia, but if another Chaos Alcatraz-level demon comes to invade this world, Gaia’s power will not be able to stop it, and in the end, we will have to protect this world again with our own hands.
Wasn’t it just as hard to win back then as it is now? In that case, all I have to do is go back to the original world, upgrade my characters’ specs, and come back.
“Wow! Then I can meet Jinu’s mom and dad!”
“Hmm! Can we also say hello?”
Everyone seemed happy about the idea of going to the world I used to live in. Is it because I feel like I’m enjoying it more than when I just defeated Chaos Alcatraz?
Rather, Ellie alone is a bit sullen. She seemed to be proud that she had been to the world I used to live in alone.
“Gaia! Is it possible? Once you seal it there and recover most of your power, you can send us out and summon us again. If you do it like last time!”
“Hmm… Maybe it’s possible?”
I originally had no intention of going, but when I heard that Demon could come again, I wanted to be sure that I could return to the original world.
That has to be the case, for the same reason as the Chaos Alcatraz incident.
There was a point where we still lacked the strength to take him down, but something even worse could happen.
For example, the level 110 raid boss has now been reached, but since the maximum level has been expanded again, there is no guarantee that more demons will not fall.
We need to prepare for that situation in advance, and we don’t want to go through a lot of trouble to achieve victory like we did this time.
“Then Gaia, how long does it take to seal it? Once I confirm that, I plan to return to Brighton Castle.”
“Um… I think it’ll take a while, are you okay?”
Of course, no matter how long it takes, I definitely plan to check it out and go back.
I thought it was over and went back, “Oh my gosh! I was planning on sealing it, but the demons came and I couldn’t seal it!” If you hear that sound, your blood pressure may explode and you may die.
So we stayed outside and stayed overnight until it took about a week for Gaia to seal Numeron, the dimensional gate.
After completing the sealing, we were able to return to Brighton Castle.
Gaia was told to take good care of the seal and focus on recovering her power. She also told her to tell her quickly if anything happened.
As I return to the castle, events from up until now run through my mind.
The first time I summoned Ellie unintentionally.
I defeated Yuria by summoning him along with the raid boss Demon and Byhamoth who suddenly appeared.
When she came to this world and almost died for the first time, she barely survived by summoning Rien.
After first encountering Void, he summoned Renia from the elf village.
At Gaia’s request, Noah was additionally summoned to close the gap in her dimension.
Rachel was summoned using the relics left behind by people who died protecting this world in the past.
The first time I dealt with Void, who had fused with a level 100 raid monster, I was lucky enough to summon Freyja in a situation where I could have been annihilated if I made a mistake.
Really, at the end, when I returned from the original world, I summoned Elsha and met her.
And I barely defeated the final boss, Chaos Alcatraz, with the eight characters I raised.
A lot has happened.
But there is still a big mountain left for me.
Maybe… This might be harder than taking down Chaos Alcatraz.
If defeating Chaos Alcatraz means climbing Mt. Hallasan, the highest peak in Korea where I used to live, then what remains now is like climbing Mt. Himalayas…
What’s left for me to do now…
To everyone DeityIt’s about explaining.
