Below the floating island, a Death Sovereign charged fearlessly at a horde of Abyssal Creatures.

Diablo's long cape fluttered in the wind as he swung his sword sideways.

"Hellfire Annihilation!"

A blazing crescent blade flew toward his enemies, cleanly slicing them all in half.

Countless lives were being lost with each passing minute, so Diablo's attacks were getting stronger and stronger.

The golden eyes that were glowing brightly from his visor showed his determination as he held himself back from assisting Lux in his fight against Daniel.

The Half-Elf had asked him to fight on the frontlines and annihilate those who opposed him.

As a Demigod Monster, he was truly a terror on the battlefield, reaping countless lives with a single swing of his sword.

However, just as he was about to continue his one-sided massacre, something unexpected happened.

The gigantic silhouette of the Outer God slowly opened its eyes.

Half a minute later, it unleashed a beam of light directed at the Floating Island of Edea, catching everyone by surprise.

The Earth Turtle, who had merged with the Floating Island, moved its body sideways in order to avoid the beam of light that was directed at it.

Due to how sudden the attack of the Outer God was, none of the defenders were able to react to it right away.

Sid subconsciously held Scarlet's hand and used his body to protect her, but it was useless.

The attack instantly vaporized the two of them as it continued its trajectory toward the target that Daniel had ordered the Silhouette to attack.

From within the Guild Headquarters, a brilliant light collided with the beam attack from the Outer God, making Cai, who was within the Guild Headquarters, burst into tears.

"I'm sorry, Rose," Keane said softly as he drew his blade for the last time, using his life in exchange for a miracle.

"Grand Void."

Keane unleashed the final stance of his Sword Art, which was said to have the power to split the void in half.

The beam attack was split into two, hitting the left and right parts of the floating island, making the Earth Turtle roar in pain.

In a span of a few seconds, half of the floating island was destroyed, but the town and the Guild Headquarters remained intact.

Keane, who had bravely used his life to block the attack, slowly turned into particles of light.

However, before he completely disappeared, he glanced in Lux's direction before closing his eyes.

"I leave the rest to you."

A moment later, he disappeared, and a cry filled with anger and pain reverberated on the battlefield.

"Danieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel!" Lux roared in anger, while the Pseudo-God laughed.

He knew that Lux cared about his friends and allies, so he specifically targeted the Floating Island of Edea to anger his opponent, who was charging through his Abyssal Army in order to reach his location.

Back in Espoir Frieden, in the residence built near the roots of the World Tree…

The sound of something breaking spread in the living room as the Second High Priestess of the Rowan Tribe dropped the teacup in her hand.

Rose stared blankly in space, while Laura and Livia, who were seated beside her, panicked because the hot tea had spilled into the High Priestess' clothes but the latter seemed lost in thoughts and didn't pay any attention to it.

"Sister Rose, are you alright?" Laura asked as she hurriedly used her handkerchief to wipe the Priestess' dress.

"What's wrong?" Livia asked, as she imitated her sister and helped clean the clothes that had been drenched by the hot tea.

While the two girls were doing this, their two baby slimes, Nora, and Cora, absorbed the pieces of the shattered teacup, preventing anyone from stepping on them by accident.

"Nothing," Rose replied after regaining her composure. "I'm fine. I just felt tired all of a sudden."

Laura and Livia nodded their heads in understanding.

"Sister, you're not getting enough sleep as of late," Laura said. "You should sleep early tonight."

"Are you worried about Brother Keane?" Livia inquired. "Don't worry. Our Brother is with him. Both of them are strong."

"That's right!" Laura nodded. "Big Brother promised that he would return to us safely, and he never breaks his promise. He will beat the bad guys and come back to us like he always does after a mission."

"Yes!" Livia stated. "Before Brother Keane left, he asked us if we wanted to be the flower girls in your wedding. Of course, we accepted, right Laura?"

"Mmm!" Laura nodded.

The Second High Priestess of the Rowan Tribe reached out to hold the two little Dwarves close to her and held them tight.

"Right," Rose said as her eyes moistened, as she did her best to hold back the tears that were about to fall. "They will return to us."

The young lady's body shuddered uncontrollably, failing to hold back her tears.

Laura and Livia hugged Rose tightly and kept on telling her that everything was going to be alright.

Rose didn't reply, and simply hugged the two girls, who weren't aware of what was happening in the Void Battlefield.

As a seer, the High Priestess suddenly received a vision that shook the very core of her being.

She had seen how Sid had tried to protect Scarlet before the two of them died from the Outer God's attack.

But that wasn't the main reason why her heart was currently breaking right now.

"I'm sorry, Rose."

Keans's voice, which was filled with sadness and regret, played over and over again inside her head.

Even in his last moments, he thought of her, making the tears in her eyes fall endlessly.

She had lost someone who was very dear to her, and her heart felt as if a black hole had appeared, sucking out all the happiness and hope that she had for the future.

As she held the two Dwarves, who had also lost their brother in the war, Rose closed her eyes and prayed.

She prayed to any God that could hear her prayers, hoping that the person that she had lost would once again return to her, and keep his promise to spend his lifetime with her, making her happy for the rest of her life.
