BJORN!!
YANDEL!
THANK GOODNESS YOU'RE OKAY....!
THE PRIESTESS SHOWED UP WHILE I WAS TALKING WITH MY PARTY MEMBERS.
I'M HAVING TROUBLE MOVING MY BODY.
THAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU SUSTAIN SOME BRAIN DAMAGE.
YOU SHOULD RECOVER FULLY IN ABOUT A MONTH, IF YOU REST UP.
I SEE. THANK YOU.
I'LL BE BACK WITH LORD KYLE.
SO...
WERE THERE ANY ATTACKS?
NO. LORD KYLE SAID HE COULDN'T FIND THEIR TRACES AT ALL, DESPITE HAVING TRACKED THEM DOWN.
THEN...
AH!
CRAP. I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT ABOUT THAT!
ERWEN.
WHAT HAPPENED TO ERWEN?!
I SEE. SO SHE DIED.
NO, IT'S JUST HER SISTER WHO DIED.
ELABORATE.
AFTER MY BARRIER SPELL WAS DEACTIVATED...
...SHE SOMEHOW MANAGED TO WRAP HER BODY AROUND HER YOUNGER SISTER.
SO MS. ERWEN ONLY SUSTAINED LIGHT INJURIES...
WHERE IS ERWEN RIGHT NOW?
...THE SAME SPOT.
SAME SPOT?
YEAH, THE EXACT SAME SPOT.
WHERE HER SISTER DIED.
OKAY.
LET ME HELP YOU.
TH-THANKS.
KYLE?
YOU'VE AWAKE.
TO THAT ELF...? OKAY. I'LL ACCOMPANY YOU.
I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE. WHAT HAPPENED?
MORE PEOPLE FOUND THEIR WAY UPSTAIRS AFTER THE BATTLE WAS OVER.
FOUR GROUPS, TOTALING ABOUT... 1,000, I'D SAY.
ONE THOUSAND?!
THEY SAID THEY FOLLOWED THE MARKS WE HAD LEFT.
IF ONLY THEY ARRIVED A BIT SOONER.
THEN...
IT'S BJORN, SON OF YANDEL!
THE GREAT WARRIOR IS BACK!!
I WAS TEMPORARILY...
THANKYOU!
YOU SAVEDUS!
YOU'RE OUR HERO!
I'LL PAYBACK SOME DAY!
...SURROUNDED BY ADVENTURERS WHO APPROACHED TO SAY HI.
THEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION.
GOOD OLD SIR...
LET'S GO.
IT'LL BE TIME TO GO BACK SOON.
ARE YOU GOING TO STAY HERE ALL BY YOURSELF?
I AM NOT... ALONE.
BECAUSE MY SISTER IS HERE.
LET ME GO FOR A SECOND, ABMAN.
LISTEN TO ME.
I AM YOUR GUARDIAN NOW.
...HUH?
IT WASN'T A LONG STORY OR ANYTHING, BUT FOR SOME REASON...
...THAT WOMAN ASKED ME TO TAKE CARE OF HER SISTER SHOULD SHE DIE, AS IF SHE HAD A PREMONITION.
GOOD OLD SIR... MY SISTER... SHE STOPPED MOVING...!
SHE CAN'T TALK ANYMORE EITHER...!
I... NEVER HAD A CHANCE... TO DO ANYTHING FOR HER...!
WH-WHAT AM I...
GOING TO TELL MY LITTLE SISTER?!
THAT OUR BIG SIS DIED, SO SOON AFTER OUR MOM DID?!
AND THAT IT WAS ALL MY FAULT?!
I DIDN'T SAY A WORD.
ALL I COULD DO WAS WAIT.
WE MUST GET GOING NOW, YANDEL.
YEAH.
ERWEN.
LET'S GO HOME.
11:50 PM.
YOU HAVE ENTERED CRYSTAL CAVE ON THE 1ST FLOOR.
11:59 PM.
THE LABYRINTH IS NOW CLOSED.
YOU WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO RAFDONIA.
WE'RE BACK.
WE'RE FINALLY BACK!!
THE DIMENSION SQUARE, WHICH HAD ALWAYS BEEN SO FULL OF PEOPLE, WAS UNPRECEDENTLY EMPTY.
SO MANY PEOPLE DIED...
LOOK OVER THERE!
DIMENSION DOOR!
YOU MOTHERF***ERS!!
THE BASTARDS WHO HAD FLED THROUGH THE DIMENSION DOOR ON DAY FOUR RETURNED.
THE EXACT TIMING MAY VARY, BUT EVERYONE RETURNS WHEN THE LABYRINTH CLOSES.
...HUH?
WHAT THE...
IT WAS LIKE WITNESSING THE END OF THE WORLD.
THEN THAT VOICE REPEATED ITSELF IN MY HEAD.
CONGRATULATIONS.
YOU ARE THE SOLE WINNER.
THE LAST THING SCHOLAR OF RUIN SAID TO ME.
Chapter Summary
Bjorn wakes in the labyrinth on Day 7 after the battle, his face melted by poison and his brain damaged. His party survived, but Ainar and Missha tell him the elf Erwen lost her sister, who shielded her from the blast. A priestess heals Bjorn, warning he needs a month to recover. A thousand adventurers who followed their trail arrive and hail him as a hero. Bjorn finds Erwen refusing to leave the spot where her sister died, and reveals he is now her guardian, as her sister had asked him to care for her. The labyrinth closes and they are transported back to Rafdonia, where the Dimension Square is eerily empty and the deserters return. Then the voice repeats: he is the sole winner.
