“Master. . . I can’t believe you’re leaving this to me. . .”

ㅤ

Luke sighs and picks up the remaining magic stone.

ㅤ

“Luke, could it be that. . .”

ㅤ

“Yes, this is the core of the master’s substitute, a part of the soul.”

ㅤ

“!”

ㅤ

Alma is at a loss for words at Luke’s reply.

ㅤ

“Is. . . is it okay. . .? To leave something like that behind. . .”

ㅤ

“Of course it’s not okay. Master, of all people, is pushing such a big role onto me.”

ㅤ

Luke sighs and stores the magic stone in his left arm.

ㅤ

It’s the soul of a demon, albeit a very small part. It contains a power far beyond that of a magic stone left by a divine beast.

ㅤ

It’s probably the most valuable magic stone on earth right now.

ㅤ

“We need to return it to the master immediately.”

ㅤ

ㅤ

“Well, I was completely outmatched.”

ㅤ

Cyphos had just gotten up when Luke looked back.

ㅤ

“You noticed.”

ㅤ

“I can’t believe I couldn’t do anything. The world is a big place.”

ㅤ

Cyphos stands up with a smile as Luke rushes over.

ㅤ

His attitude is still nonchalant, even though he lost.

ㅤ

“You’re a hypocrite, starting a reckless fight after saying all that to others.”

ㅤ

“I have no words to return.”

ㅤ

The two laugh together, exchanging light banter.

ㅤ

Their laughter was strangely refreshing.

ㅤ

“Well, I guess it’s time to go.”

ㅤ

After a good laugh, Cyphos casually turns on his heel.

ㅤ

“Where are you going?”

ㅤ

“It’s decided, isn’t it? To the demon realm.”

ㅤ

Cyphos grins at Gale’s question.

ㅤ

“After witnessing such strength, I can’t just sit around here.”

ㅤ

“You’re a stubborn old man. I was worried you’d really retire after having your heart broken, not just your limbs.”

ㅤ

“Fool, if my heart was broken by a single defeat, I wouldn’t be alive now. On the contrary, I’m motivated. I’ve realized there are still heights to climb. What about you? I’m just a seeker now. I don’t have the luxury of taking on a disciple.”

ㅤ

“It doesn’t matter whether you take on a disciple or not.”

ㅤ

Gale adjusts the mantle on his shoulders.

ㅤ

“As long as I can become stronger with you, your path is my path. Even if you tell me not to follow, I’ll go on my own.”

ㅤ

“Ha, then do as you please!”

ㅤ

Cyphos laughs cheerfully and steps forward.

ㅤ

Gale follows.

ㅤ

“Oh, I’m going too!”

ㅤ

Gaston raises his voice.

ㅤ

“Gale! I fell for your strength! I’ll follow you wherever you go, even to the demon realm!”

ㅤ

“Don’t mess around, I’m busy. I don’t have time to deal with you.”

ㅤ

Gale answers with a weary look on his face.

ㅤ

“Hmm, I feel like I’ve heard that line somewhere before. I think the person who was told that said they’d follow anyway. . .”

ㅤ

“. . .Do as you please.”

ㅤ

Gale turns away as if drained by Cyphos’s sarcasm.

ㅤ

“Thanks! Well then, Kiel!”

ㅤ

Gaston turns to Kiel with a bounce in his step.

 ㅤ

“I’m going on a little training journey, so I’m leaving the island to you! When you’ve gained strength that suits you, I’ll come back!”

ㅤ

And so, the three disappeared into the depths of the forest.

ㅤ

“What’s with him. . .”

ㅤ

Kiel, who had been watching Gaston leave, sighed.

ㅤ

“He’s getting all excited on his own. . . No one said they were waiting for him.”

ㅤ

Kiel’s face looked amused as she said this in exasperation.

ㅤ

“But. . . well, he was a little cooler than before, I guess.”

ㅤ

ㅤ

Luke and Alma exchanged smiles at this.

ㅤ

“Shall we go home too? To St. Arrogas.”

ㅤ

ㅤ

ㅤ

Three months later, Luke was back in the southern territories.

ㅤ

Today is the day when the Arrogas Kingdom and the demon realm of Berlanji sign a trade agreement.

ㅤ

The port shared by the southern territories and the demon realm will become a trade zone, and all goods traded through here will be exempt from tariffs.

ㅤ

Although it is a very small scale from the perspective of the country, it is attracting a lot of attention in the area as evidence that the relationship between the demon realm and the human world has advanced to a new stage.

ㅤ

Flora is attending as a representative from the royal family, and Luke and Alma are accompanying her.

ㅤ

“This treaty was led by Princess Flora, right? That’s amazing. I wonder when she started working on it.”

ㅤ

Alma whispered to Luke at the signing ceremony.

ㅤ

On the stage in front of them, Flora and Barbassa were signing the treaty side by side.

ㅤ

This treaty was initiated by Flora and Barbassa, and it is said that Flora drafted the proposal.

ㅤ

As a key player in bringing peace to the southern territories by stopping Omid’s rebellion, Flora’s name has gained prominence not only among the nobility but also in the commercial world.

ㅤ

With Gale missing, some are saying that Flora is the only one who can unite the kingdom.

ㅤ

“I think she’s been working on this since long before we first came here. She probably knew this would happen.”

ㅤ

Luke answered in a low voice.

ㅤ

Or rather, she probably sent Luke to the southern territories to achieve this result.

ㅤ

And Barbassa probably knew about it too.

ㅤ

In order to conclude the treaty they were promoting, it was a prerequisite that this region be peaceful.

ㅤ

Omid and Dandale, who were obstructing this, had to be eliminated at all costs.

ㅤ

But if they acted openly, there was a risk that the other party would realize their intentions.

ㅤ

That’s why Luke, who was virtually unknown in this region, was chosen.

ㅤ

The conversation that Flora and Barbassa had when they met on the island was about this.

ㅤ

“She might be the most terrifying of all.”

ㅤ

Luke looked forward with a wry smile.

ㅤ

On the stage, Flora was shaking hands with Barbassa with her usual smile.
