Chapter 354: The End of All (7)
... The most pure and virtuous magic, the simplest yet most fundamental spell engraved into the body of an Iron Man, was the truth that drove my Telekinesis, using my heart as a sacrifice and this lighthouse as a catalyst, along with the most perfect mana on the continent—Sophien’s.
At the scene of that miracle, I looked at Sophien, who was also looking at me with resolute eyes, without a single tremble.
“... Your Majesty,” I called, a sense of unease stirring within me because of her last words, her wish for my happiness.
However, Sophien had no answer and, as if to stop me from speaking, flooded the sword blade she was gripping with mana.
Whoooosh...
The flawless mana of Sophien ran through my body, bringing the magic to completion and manifesting a beautiful miracle.
With a resonance originating from within the skeleton of an Iron Man, the world at that moment was being stained by darkness—no, my eyes and ears were failing, and the entire world felt as if it was moving away from me, a void as if I were drifting through a faraway universe, while above that darkness, a tiny voice seeped in.
"... Deculein, and Kim Woo-Jin," Sophien said.
A voice calling my name—Sophien’s—came to me like a mirage.
“... I remain with but a single question.”
The sensation of her hand brushing my cheek was faint.
Am I alive at this moment, or am I dead? And if I am alive, do I stand with dignity, or am I sitting in such a pathetic state? I thought.
