Ash saw his brother's confusion and his father's pain.
"If only you could be saved."
He didn't look at them anymore, but looked at a place very close behind him.
There was nothing there, but Ash seemed to be staring at someone.
Then he shook his head and happily placed his hand on the ice wall.
Unwavering determination.
Card!
"No!
!
Jasmine ran, screaming frantically, trying to stop her child from doing something foolish...
But it was too late.
It was all too late.
He shouldn't have brought the children here, shouldn't have imposed that fate on them, and shouldn't have regretted it in the end.
But now it's too late.
Card!
A tremendous cracking sound came from the ice wall—no!
Not just the ice wall, but the entire city, buried in snow, suddenly trembled.
boom!
With this tremendous roar, the frost that had accumulated over the years fell in droves, forming an avalanche-like disaster that swallowed everything in its path.
"No!
!
Jaslin, who was running, fell heavily to the ground amidst the tremors, and could only watch in despair as the snow and ice ahead swallowed her child.
Never before had Jasmine so desperately prayed for a miracle.
Please save my child!
I am willing to pay with my life for anyone's help.
He would gladly swear an oath if a deity were willing to respond.
But... no deity answered his prayers.
dark.
Jaslin's soul seemed to have fallen into endless darkness.
No, not just gods, but any being willing to help.
Even if it's a demon, I don't care. If you need my soul, take it!
If only my children could be saved...
But this time, things changed.
Click, click, click... Click!
With a tremendous crashing sound, the ice wall collapsed completely, and huge chunks of ice slammed into the stunned Keynes.
But just as the child was about to be crushed to death, the ice block stopped in mid-air.
Buzz—
The whole world fell silent at that moment, and everything came to a standstill.
Jaslin, lying prostrate on the ground, stared blankly ahead, as if she saw a figure in the endless snow and ice.
Kaka...
In this deathly silence, a figure dressed in black robes emerged from the world submerged in ice crystals.
She arrived with breathtaking beauty, like the night itself.
The sky was clear and cloudless, and the stars shone brightly.
Before her, the ice and snow melted, and the disaster vanished within her sight.
She paused slightly in front of the dazed Keynes and nodded to him.
As the grief dissipated, Keynes, who had been breaking down in tears, suddenly felt his body grow heavy and was about to fall asleep.
Before closing his eyes, in his final moments, Keynes saw the face of the mysterious man beneath his hood.
He didn't see the face clearly, but he still remembered one detail.
She has a pair of light-colored eyes.
The most exquisite light and darkness converge in her figure and in her eyes.
[The interwoven light creates a gentle glow that even the most vibrant daylight cannot witness.]
The sleeping Keynes did not fall to the ground, but was lifted by an invisible force and brought to Jaslin's side.
"Keynes!"
Jaslin hugged Keynes tightly. She breathed a sigh of relief after finding him asleep, but her heart immediately jumped again.
Ash!
In fact, Jaslin didn't need to search anymore; Ash's current appearance was already in his eyes.
"…………"
He was smiling.
Ash was smiling happily, like a child who had done something good and was asking for praise from his parents.
However, he will never hear his father's praise again.
Because Ash was completely encased in a huge block of ice.
Ash succeeded.
He truly became a hero, absorbing all the remaining divinity of the goddess of ice and plague into his body.
If the brothers were together, they would each bear part of the burden. Although it would leave irreversible aftereffects, it would be possible for them both to survive.
This precocious child understood everything long ago.
But now, Ash alone has taken on both.
Because his younger brother is afraid of the cold.
Because his younger brother doesn't like being sick.
Who told me to be the older brother?
"Keynes, you must...grow up healthy."
...
...
When the one-legged Habaron finally arrived, he saw Jaslin, who was holding Cairns, kneeling in front of a huge block of ice.

"...Tsk!"
I'm late.
He couldn't save anything himself, and it was these two children who paid the ultimate price.
He clenched his teeth tightly, suppressing the urge to cry.
"They are not dead."
Habaron turned abruptly and looked at the woman who had appeared beside him at some point.
"What did you say!?"
Are you telling the truth? Is there any hope for them?
"Although the child tried to accept everything alone, I took back most of it. He is affected now, but he will be able to adapt after a long enough period of time."
"However, this adaptation period will be very, very long."
