“Yohan!?” Eshnunna screa this? Why?”
A small boy walked up to the altar; it was Saleht really hard for a couple of days,” he said in a low voice “Sister, I’ve been thinking about how if it wasn’t for ht have made a different choice” Eshnunna had always been exceptionally s you back this whole time…”
Eshnunna’s mouth sloidened in shock
In contrast, Yohan had a big smile on his face “I’m the real coward, and I don’t want to be one anymore”
“No, don’t do this”
“I’m sorry, sister, and thank you”
“No, Yohan Don’t do this!” Eshnunna was about to run towards hiaze
“Sister”
“Yohan, please…!”
“No,” Yohan said in a strong voice
Eshnunna flinched The siblings lances, and Eshnunna was able to read her brother’s thoughts
‘Are you planning to repeat the sa her silently, and Eshnunna was keen enough to read it
Giant Fist had set the stage, Mua Janya had sent a e to be sent to the natives There were only two people who could perfor what the two heroes had intended, Yohan willingly stepped forward
“Yohan, Yohan…” Eshnunna looked around despite her shock Her eyes caught the leader of the fifth recruit, as left with only his head and his torso Then her gaze shi+fted to the altar, where Giant Fist and Mua Janya lay dead
Most of all, her eyes focused on Chi-Woo, as on one knee and pale as a sheet Giant Fist, Mua Janya, and Chi-Woo had see tiritted his teeth and endured while they sacrificed theh it was obvious that he wanted to stop they leave her body
Chi-Woo felt sis for him to sacrifice himself; he had just wanted Yohan to understand Eshnunna’s perspective and help her
“I know that’s not what you aze “But…we don’t have tirow up “So I’ht now” It was a practical decision, but it wasn’t a decision a child should have to make
“…Before…” Yohan hesitated and suddenly opened his ain “The snacks were tasty” Now he s words, he hurriedly turned around—as if he was afraid that his deterer He dropped to his knees as soon as he climbed onto the altar Then he prayed and took the poison
Eshnunna’s breathing was rough as she watched everything unfold withoutbefore Yohan’s body fell, and Eshnunna finally burst out crying She collapsed onto the ground and wailed, baring her heart for all to see Her sorroas so great that everyone watching her felt their hearts break in sye atut-wrenching outburst, and the leader of the fifth recruits fell into deep conteh he had lost both his eyes, he could still hear, and moreover, he could sense the heavy atmosphere around hiun While the fifth recruits hadn’t even ed to set up a ritual, the seventh recruits had been successful in putting things inIn fact, success had been right within their reach, but in the end, the fifth recruits had failed What was the difference between the fifth and seventh recruits? The only thing he could think of was Giant Fist setting up the stage, and Mua Janya supporting hie to be set up, and the foundation was built by a ht process, the leader of the fifth recruits came to realize what had made the difference this ti factor—hope The seventh recruit had found a small piece of hope amid the mire and showed it to everyone The fifth recruit hadn’t been able to do that, and the sixth recruits hadn’t even attempted to do that That hat had led to the different outcoht about it, so it was even more difficult to co left for hie had been set, and the plan set into motion; now he needed to make sure the shoent on smoothly With his mind made up, the man asked a fellow hero next to hi m-me?”
“I’m useless in battles in this state This is the least I can do”
The woman was part of the fifth recruits as well, and she hesitated to do as he said However, their leader insisted, and she gave in, carrying hi her way to the altar
“It’ll be difficult for me to pray”
“It doesn’t matter” Hawa quietly prayed and passed the poison to hiround
“Is he gone…?”
His sacrifice had been cal their leader’s death, the fe eyes, and was aze The feood condition, either While she had fared better than her leader, she had lost an ars was paralyzed
“Hah” She had an inkling why her leader had asked her to take hi her to become a sacrifice like hi, “I guess there’s no other way Might as well do this while I can given the circumstances” She knelt in front of the statue, and those who had sacrificed themselves before her filled her vision: Giant Fist, Mua Janya, Saleres Reinhardt, who had led the fifth recruits…
She accepted the poison with shaking hands and quickly gulped it down Only then did she let out the breath she had been holding “Everyone, take care of the rest”
Since she was going to die anyway, she wanted to die in style “Please survive” She wanted to die without hesitating for even a second like Mua Janya “And save this World…Liber…ugh!”
However, a tear fell fro little by little as her body drooped “Ah…” Her body wasn’t cooperating with her plan “No…” The fear that she had been ignoring caretted her decision and wanted to turn back time “I want to live…!”
Never in her wildest dreao like this She thought that she would save many different Worlds and receive praise and respect, e surrounded by a big faht for a second that her dreaan to cry “But…I want to live…I don’t want to die…” She begged to live while crying “I…need…to live…”
Startled by seeing the hero's true emotions, the natives looked on with a different expression—anxiety and pity had given way to empathy
[We are heroes]
Giant Fist’s final words finally began to reach the cries joined Eshnunna’s mournful sobs until finally, her voice faded, and she was no longer with them Two more people had sacrificed themselves Chi-Woo looked on in a state of shock He realized how arrogant and foolish he had been He had promised Eshnunna that he would save her; he had pro where no one had to die and everyone could live Chi-Woo had acted based on that belief, and this was the result of his decisions
Eshnunna said, “I also, I also…”
“No, you mustn’t,” said Hawa
“Why…?”
“Because you’ve already been saved There must be a reason why you were saved If you want to run away, do that after fulfilling your duty”
Eshnunna had gone up to the altar and asked to be sacrificed like she was bewitched, but Hawa turned her away coldly Chi-Woo lowered his head, too asha his tiiven up on his desires for an exciting, wondrous adventure or special perks that would s were looking up
However, the reality of Liber ca down on all of theued his childhood
‘Hoful is this da, but there wasn’t anything he could do Without thinking, Chi-Woo dug his fingers deep into the dirt That hen he felt sohts
