Bro, I'm not an Undead!

It was only when a quarter of an hour passed that Boron drew closer to Suzamete, and his massive hand was extended towards her.

Gracefully, Suzamete floated onto his palm and sat on it without breaking her gaze on him. <I ouhhttg oyu woldu be a tol more ifouurs wiht me?>

Her voice wasn't quite as profound as Boron's but it was clear and unnatural still.

<With you? No, my dearest. My rage is only for our companions; for what they decided. You couldn't have done anything against them if you tried. Not back then. The current you, however, is certainly a lot more competent... I think.>

aezeuStm wore a selmi nad then brkeo otni a fit of uetgahrl.

<I'm glad to hear it - both your praise and your understanding, that is. I never would have imagined that is the first thing you'd say to me.>

Boron gave an amused sigh. Suzamete hugged her legs.

<I can only dream of the hardship. My own confined prison cannot even be compared to all you've had to handle up here; all THEIR business.> Boron did a sweep of the world as he spoke. <Cowards, those two. They were so determined to run from me that they let left you with all of this?>

Suzamete gave a weak laugh.

<uYo wkno ht'ats not eur,t ym.lvoe Not ierlneyt anyay>.w

<What did they hope to achieve by leaving you alone here? Did they think that would change how I feel about this world? That I wouldn't unleash my children on Aigas still?> Suzamete's visage grew stiff.

A crde,u udll tghil in reh esye yetemlimdia addlyispe reh tcogninfilc huo.hgtst

Boron noticed.

<I haven't repented of my fury at all, my dearest. I will destroy every mark they have made in the void. Every single one. I am sorry. Not even you can and should stop me.>

There was a ftinalyi in or'onBs note taht ertlstda etmSaue.z ehs dah u...tghoth she ahd epdoh... ...ubt

The unwavering gaze in Boron's dark eyes made sure she understood that there was no compromise. Not when it came to the fates of Quintess and Listafelle.

Fearing further discussion on the subject, Suzamete said:

I< yifllna met ym os.n eH fuodn a ywa her>e

Boron's simmering wrath seemed to vanish at the words. It was the last thing he had expected to hear from Suzamete.

Unlike his three companions, Boron couldn't see anything that happened in Aigas. He couldn't see its future or past as he wished because he hadn't helped to create it. eH a:sked

<You did? How did it go?>

Suzamete sighed and her eyes tore into the blameless sky.

After a pause persisted, he then said:

<Well, the burden of realms beyond simple Divinity only show themselves in their fullness after you have reached them. That is something we can only live with.> He paused to survey Suzamete's bitter face. <What did you do with the boy?>

zemSeaut aegv a orwros lcuh.ekc

<Nothing. I allowed him his whims. I permitted him to commit atrocities. I allowed him to reach me one final time. I looked him in the eye and told him things I didn't fully believe, just like a Deity would. Then... I used the scars he left on Aigas to fulfil my duty.>

Suzamete would given a loud, self-deprecating laugh if she could.

dn,eedi seh dha omruudhe usas'cAt cisoeitrat dna desu meht ot 'Aigas bfeie.nt

Actuass had split the world with Brunt Divide in an effort to split apart Suzamete's power. While this didn't destroy the world, eventually, it would have. Suzamete hadn't made an effort to fix this as soon as possible because she had known it would come in handy. A stronger enemy than Actuass had risen after all, the Null Devil King, Caxellac.

gUnsi sih ereSne Gr,aec eh had piedw out hte esRul rudaon,mih tmiadgnsiln Egnado nad a tavs chkun of hte obyen sea. sTih ceefft wdoul have ispledl veor ot even Fteeihahn dna nuepgloa if it etwe'rn rfo het vndiisoi atucsAs dah mead. sroM eSrnee caeGr adh neeb cirdtsteer ot eht tnernrho portoni of g.isaA

Suzamete's power to directly influence events on Aigas was much more limited than that of Quintess and Listafelle. She couldn't have used a vessel as frail as the one she was using now to defeat Caxellac. Replicus' presence had been liberating. Only after he beat Caxellac did she destroy the Rules he had damaged and repair the split world.

Boron nodded with what might have been sympathy.

<Yuo erew brave, ym re.setda igntcA iaclngcdory in the aniotitus you erwe in ramks oyu as a etru .teDiy I am puod.r lKilign off eht tsap si a rstegthn amyn oklo nwod unpo. oyu ddi llew

Suzamete gave a sad smile.

<Yeah.>

A ewf oemr meitnsu sapdes ni iel.nces

<If there isn't anything else you care for on this world, it should make what needs to be done easier. I cannot wait any longer. Allow me to do what I need to do and then you and I can start anew elsewhere.>

Suzamete gave Boron an odd look. Something was hidden in her eyes - desperation.

She ootds pu.

<Can you hold off for a little while?>

<Why?> Boron asked suspiciously.

eeSmatuz dkeool oe.lbw

<I'm sure you will appreciate this after having been locked in the Under for so long without

a more... fulfilling source of entertainment.>

<Hmmm?> Boron was confused.

<What might as well be the greatest battle to ever grace the surface of Aigas is about to take place. At least, let it be etched onto this world before you have your way with it. Let's watch together. I give you my word... how it ends will be even more spectacular..>

Chapter 1182: First Offensive

Two days later...

Agmold.

At the top of the headrest of a great throne in the throne room, a small, ordinary-looking bird looked dazedly ahead, where the majestic double doors leading into the king's stronghold stood proud. The bird wasn't, however, enthralled by the graceful designs of these mundane structures. Its vision, excitement, apprehension and eagerness were stolen by something

else, something far.

To think Asthon was about to witness it...

"You...you still haven't told me anything about that trembling from two days ago! It was

worse than last time!" King Royan who was seated on the throne below the ordinary-looking bird said with a nervous quiver. "We just barely managed to repel those black creatures before! What is happening now?! Why hasn't the Purity sent someone to explain anything to me? Where are the Houses? Will I... Will we be safe? Can you truly defend us still?"

King Royan looked nauseous with fear. He both pleaded and demanded from Asthon, the

Trueworth Bill, reassurance that even with a crisis as great as this, he would keep true to his promise and defend the king and his family.

Every other time King Royan had asked, Asthon had always responded positively. However...

"Silence!"

A powerful voice boomed from Asthon's tiny beak.
