Church.

Morning sunlight filters through the stained glass window, casting a soft patch of colored light onto the marble floor.

Here was a place where people sought spiritual comfort and expressed their loyalty and admiration for their faith.

Now, it is used to store remains.

The head of the Kaslana family, Kallen's biological father and the strongest warrior by fate: Francis Kaslana.

He sheathed the zero-rated power Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword to protect Otto and Kallen from the destructive key "Judgment of Shamash."

The cost is his life.

Holy white flowers surrounded the coffin, and the maiden weakly knelt beside it, her ears filled with unceasing and hoarse cries of anguish.

Otto watched the scene before him in silence.

After being able to truly walk, he witnessed Francis's struggle against the Honkai with Kallen's own eyes.

That heroic silhouette of protecting the people once provided him with a great sense of security.

Brave warriors are invincible in battle, submitting holy judgments against demons and monsters, but now they are reduced to ashes in the Judgment of Shamash.

Otto refused to believe this until he smelled the flowers drifting out of the coffin, making it impossible to conceal them. Charcoal smell.

Listening to the cries in his ears, he pondered deeply whether he and Kallen would also meet such an end.

Above that, would the "world" in his eyes also collapse?

The youth's eyes trembled as he instinctively looked at the young man beside him, only to receive a familiar smile.

Otto, you don't want Kallen to be sad either? Lu Mian, as a native of China, spoke the native language of the Far East in Europe.

The intention was to make Otto feel more at ease.

The speaker may be unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

Otto withdrew his gaze from Lu Mian and looked at Kallen.

Also?

His expression grew slightly somber, but he hesitated not at all and asked:

"Can you bring Kallen's father back to life? What price must be paid?"

"Well, this is effortless."

Deception, how could such things possibly not come at a cost?

Perhaps it's a life-for-life exchange?

So, his life should be good too, right?

Otto took a step toward Kallen, believing he had guessed the answer himself.

Seeing this, Lu Mian scratched his head, unable to guess what the silly boy from home was thinking.

Now that no one was around and the timing was perfect, he stopped dragging his feet and reached out to mimic the Black Abyss White Flower.

Resurrection is impossible, but it's still possible to bring back the dying who haven't been burned.

"Kallen," Otto walked to Kallen's side with a determination to die, hiding his jealousy, "your father will come back to life."

In an instant, a brilliant golden light fell from the dome, enveloping Francis's coffin.

Golden rain fell from the light, and holy flowers bloomed, spreading over the lifeless coffin.

"As long as I trade my own life for it. As long as it makes all of you happy, I—"

Snap—!

He hadn't finished speaking when a loud slap interrupted him.

"Um..." Otto swayed back and forth, cutting off his thoughts.

Kallen withdrew her hand, forcibly holding back tears as she stared at Otto. "What are you saying! My father protected you not by making you do such a stupid thing!"

After speaking, tears streamed down her face, once again unable to contain herself.

Otto covered his face and stared intently at Kallen, momentarily lost in thought.

He never expected that he would be so important in Kallen's heart.

And at that moment, a pair of large hands embraced him and Kallen on either side, drawing them into a warm embrace.

Lu Mian's helpless and irritable voice fell into their ears:

"Kallen really went a bit too far with you smoking. Foolish guy, have you been eating anything dirty lately? What are you thinking about all day long? Look——"

Upon hearing this, they both looked in the direction he was pointing.

Francis, who was supposed to be dead, rose from the ashes at this moment, his body, which had been reduced to ashes, now intact and reborn.

Ah?

Francis didn't quite understand what was going on and scratched his head.

Kallen's tears still hung over her pretty face, and for a moment, she didn't know if she should cry again.

Otto hurriedly checked Lu Mian's body but found nothing, leaving him dumbfounded as well.

In the church, the three of them, apart from you, looked different and all dumbfounded.

Francis, who had risen from the dead, felt his mind in a state of confusion, unable to think clearly about what was happening right now.

Otto and Kallen huddled in your arms, amazed by your omnipotent ability to bring the dead back to life effortlessly.

For a moment, they didn't even have time to spare for Francis; they were all worshipping and admiring you together...

And you smile at the corner of your mouth, hiding all the pain within you.

Just like traveling through time but being corrupted and eroded without a sound, you're very skilled at this.

No one noticed, and your body became much more transparent in the warm sunlight slanted down.

The reason you would intervene to save Francis is simple.

One is that you don't want Kallen to lose her father at a young age.

This feels very painful, something you've experienced firsthand, so you don't want her to be as sad as you were back then.

Secondly, Francis used the Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword to draw his scabbard to protect Otto and Kallen.

If he hadn't done this, you should have launched an incredibly powerful attack back then to eliminate all the fallen beasts.

Even if no one blames you, you still don't want to owe Francis anything.

Moreover, as long as you're alive, there are some things you can't avoid.

You wish Otto and Kallen happiness, and you want to protect everything you hold dear. You will carry your cognitive responsibilities and walk the path you aspire to.

Thus, the result of utilizing one's abilities is inevitable.

Your abilities have never been a talisman; if you don't use them when they should, wouldn't they be meaningless?

Ultimately, your time in existence is reduced by a little.

Life sends you endless questions, asking if you have the courage to take on everything and if you are prepared to face your own fate.

For this, you merely smiled lightly and inadvertently added a touch of gentleness to Otto and Kallen's gaze.

Didn't you say that you already had awareness?

...

The news of Francis's resurrection caused quite a stir among the Apocalis and Stonecrop families.

Even within the Kaslana family's residence, there was much discussion.

Everyone couldn't resist the temptation of immortality and wanted to extract the information they desired from Francis's mouth.

Francis, after all, is the head of the Kaslana household, a living Kaslana household head, and today's strongest warrior.

All those who coveted his resurrection secret ultimately returned empty-handed, leaving only sighs of sorrow.

Of course, part of the reason is that he knows nothing himself.

In the end, the event concluded with a generous speech by the Kaslana household head.

He attributed the entire incident to his good physical condition and called on everyone to prioritize sports education and strengthen their bodies...
