Chapter 262
“Noah…!”
Ashes that devoured the world were swirling. And before the ashes of the apocalypse, the warrior from another realm removed his raven-black helmet.
The face of his beloved was revealed, and simultaneously, the sword in his hand swung.
The Peacemaker shone, radiating a golden light. Time and the movement of the world froze for an instant.
Tick.
Though the second hand moved, no flow of time passed. The world remained frozen, the clock hands merely spinning in vain.
Even the raindrops of scattered ashes, mid-fall in their descent, remained frozen in mid-air.
In the frozen moment, Dale walked alone.
The body bearing the warrior’s avatar crossed between the frozen raindrops.
Crossing the rain of annihilation pouring down from all sides, each time the raindrops brushed against it, the flesh scattered into ashes.
─ ……!
The apocalyptic scenario swallowing this world. Before it, Dale walked on without hesitation. Calmly, through the raindrops of doom he struggled to suppress with the power of the Peacemaker.
Tick.
The clock hand moved, yet the world remained still. Except for two.
“You could still be the hope that saves the world, or the despair that destroys it.”
The hero said.
“Which one you become is entirely up to you.”
─ This world…
Within the frozen world, Sistina opened her mouth.
─ I made you endure an unspeakable hell.
“That’s right.”
─ I watched clearly as you were bound like a dog, humiliated, and made their tool to suffer.
