Chapter 123
Gaertner’s entire body convulsed as he gazed at the boy who had driven a dagger through his heart. As the end drew near, his body stiffened like a stone statue and began to crack. Even with his head shattered and nothing left of his mouth, Gaertner painfully called out a name.
[Ta…ra.]
Gaertner desperately reached out toward Tara, whose power was being drained by Gaharas. There was no way he could reach. Yet, a part of him felt a great sense of relief. Even if he died, he had killed so many humans; it would be enough nourishment for Tara. Or so he thought.
But that was his delusion alone. Soon, a deep green flash fell from the sky in a long arc.
Thud!
It pierced through Tara’s core with unerring precision.
[Kieeeeeek!]
Tara, who had manifested throughout Isilia, let out another bizarre scream and withered away. Then, she was completely swallowed by Gaharas.
[Tara!!!!]
Gaertner wailed as if the woman he had desperately waited for had died. As Tara vanished completely, everything went dark before him. And upon that face…
Boom!
Khal smashed it with his fist without hesitation.
“…”
The survivors stared at Khal, their expressions filled with disbelief. They had thought only despair remained, but Kalliant had appeared out of nowhere and struck Gaertner down with overwhelming power.
Gulp!
In a situation where they couldn’t believe their own eyes, everyone remained silent, hearts pounding. Then, someone shouted.
“He’s a hero! A true hero!!”
“Waaaaaaaah!!”
