Ending Maker Chapter 356 - FINAL EPISODE – ENDING MAKER

Chapter 356 – FINAL EPISODE – ENDING MAKER

The t.i.tle says that it’s the final episode, but it’s not. There are still 4 episodes of epilogue and 32 episodes of side stories. I’ll be translating those too.

The light disintegrated.

It broke and scattered.

Auriel saw the front with empty eyes.

With her divinity gone, her eyes could no longer see anything.

But she felt the divine power of the sun.

She could not help but miss the traces of the child she had loved so much.

“Solari.”

Auriel closed her eyes.

The crack that started in the center spread throughout her entire body, and body of the archangel returned to the light of the beginning.

She disappeared along with the fated destruction.

***

Raguel who was imprisoned in Heaven wept.

She was saddened by the death of her elder sister.

But she did not think of revenge.

She did not display hatred and anger.

Auriel’s sin was too great.

Her devastation at Solari’s death was not an excuse for descending on the imperial capital and taking the lives of countless people.

She had committed an irreparable sin.

Therefore, Raguel was only sad.

She only blamed herself for not being Solari’s replacement for Auriel.

“Auriel.”

Raguel cried like a child.

She could not stop crying.

***

The blood-red sky was clearing.

The purple light, that heavily weighed on the world as though it was calling for the night, scattered and the sky regained its original color.

“Haa… haa… ha…”

Lucas roughly breathed as Claíomh Solais pointed downwards.

Scarlet and Kajsa sat on the ground in the same posture as they held a chain, and Red Wind blinked with a bewildered expression before smiling like a fool.

“We won.”

Fran said.

He was so tired and exhausted that he lay down on the ground before speaking again.

“We won.”

Velkian nodded his head. His youth was restored due to turning into a vampire, but he collapsed on the ground and could not get up. Because his legs had gave out.

Kamael smiled.

He was always known to be cold, but he was still a human.

He sighed at first and then let down his sword as he happily smiled.

Lena laughed.

She immediately sat down and looked at the back of the man who stood tall like a mountain.

“Landius.”

Our sun.

He took a deep breath.

The hand holding the Solar Blade no longer had any strength. It was just drooping.

But his condition was not that bad.

Landius softly smiled and turned to the miracle makers.

Jude and Cordelia.

The two tightly held each other’s hands even when they collapsed. They then sat up at the same time and leaned on each other, gazing at the other’s eyes before kissing as if it was a natural thing to do.

Landius burst into laughter upon seeing that.

Tomorrow had changed.

The fated destruction was prevented.

A new future was about to begin.

But Jude and Cordelia who kissed once looked at each other and nodded.

Because they still had some work to do.

“Can you do it?”

“Can you help me a little?”

Cordelia mischievously said and then activated the divine power of the sun.

Having run out of mana, she gathered strength by using to absorb Jude’s power.

The sun rose over their heads.

As the glory of the morning, it illuminated the entire imperial capital and imparted the light of life to everyone again.

In order to save even one more person, she gave strength to those who were on the verge of death.

The light was beautiful.

It was not the light that faded with the setting sun, but the bright light of dawn that was as lively as Cordelia.

Everyone gazed at the light.

Smiles spread again on the faces of everyone including Lucas.

However, Jude and Cordelia were a little different.

The two showed off their best smiles, but they caught their breaths and looked at each other.

Because they both knew that it was not over yet.

“Asmodeus.”

Jude and Cordelia’s eyes turned to the sky.

***

The young G.o.ddess Atalia saw the sky of the distant imperial capital.

She was not weak.

Neither the overlords of h.e.l.l nor the archangels of Heaven could even dare to copy and paste the records of the three worlds like she did.

But that made her powerless.

She was still a young G.o.ddess, but after repeatedly connecting records, the power of the world called Pleiades had almost reached its bottom.

Atalia herself was so exhausted that she could not even cause a small miracle.

That was why she shed tears.

She had been watching Jude for a long time, so she knew.

The choice that Jude and Cordelia would make.

The actions the two would take to overcome their current situation.

“Jude Bayer.”

Cordelia Chase.

The two people who brought back the tomorrow of Pleiades.

Atalia could no longer hold it back.

She sadly cried.

***

[A connection to h.e.l.l has been made.]

The witch of the west forest could tell.

Due to the descent of Auriel, not only Pleiades but also Heaven and h.e.l.l were shaken.

And Asmodeus used that opportunity.

A connection between h.e.l.l and Pleiades, a kind of tunnel was created.

The h.e.l.l Gate that had began to open beyond the blue sky was still small.

But even at this moment, it was gradually growing in size.

The aura of h.e.l.l continued to radiate through the h.e.l.l Gate.

[The demon forces are getting stronger.]

Auriel fell.

The archangel who hated Pleiades no longer existed.

But in the first place, the demon forces were unrelated to Auriel.

Having received the aura of h.e.l.l through the h.e.l.l Gate, they continued to grow stronger and began pushing everyone in Pleiades.

The raging waves struck the Shadow Forest.

Gaël and Adelia desperately fought Georg the Slayer after replacing Musu, the Sword Saint of Stars.

Sebastian fell in front of Seryu’s eyes while Princess Leica screamed at the demons growing stronger.

Count Chase coughed blood.

Count Bayer who had been directly fighting the Gray Lady was gradually getting weaker.

Asmodeus was a cunning woman.

She did not dare to step forward like Auriel.

She would strengthen the demon forces through the h.e.l.l Gate.

She would generously praise the heroes of Pleiades for defeating an archangel, and wait for the demon forces everywhere to achieve their goals.

The Shadow Forest would be swept away, the kingdom’s northern area would be in ruins, and the demons that would march to the royal capital would turn the southern part of the kingdom into a sea of fire.

She would cause the Great Tribulation.

She would fill Pleiades with wailing and grief, bringing about the Great Summons again.

So the h.e.l.l Gate had to be closed.

It was necessary to cut off the power that strengthened the demon forces everywhere and return them to their original states.

[But it’s different from before.]

Breaking or closing the gate would not end it.

Standing on the other side of that gate was Asmodeus.

If they tried to close it from the outside, it would be opened again from the inside.

There was only one way to close that gate right away.

The witch of the west forest turned her body.

She flew towards the master craftsman Ca.s.sius who was waiting in the Sälen Kingdom.

***

“There’s only one way.”

Jude said and Cordelia nodded.

They had to close the gate.

From both the inside and outside at the same time.

And they had to make it impossible for the gate to be opened from the inside again.

“That means… No way…”

Jude nodded at Lucas’ words.

He spoke in a calm voice.

“Cordelia and I will enter the h.e.l.l Gate. We will close the gate from the inside and prevent Asmodeus from opening the gate again.”

Lucas was speechless at what Jude had said.

But Cordelia just shrugged and snorted.

“We’ll kick her in the a.s.s so that she’ll never aim for Pleiades again. We’ll scold her a lot.”

Cordelia’s smile was bright and pretty as always.

But not everyone could smile along with her.

As Cordelia had said, Asmodeus was beyond the h.e.l.l Gate.

That overlord of h.e.l.l was the long-time nemesis of Auriel, the archangel of judgment who was on the same level as her.

Lucas gritted his teeth. He took a deep breath and spoke firmly with a determined expression.

“I’ll go too.”

“No, you’ll be in the way.”

Jude shook his head, and so did Cordelia.

The two of them swiftly rejected Lucas and continued their conversation.

“This is h.e.l.l. It’s not like Pleiades. You… and everyone has lost all your energy from fighting Auriel, so you will not even be able to breathe properly in there.”

It was an obvious fact.

Everyone including Lucas was very exhausted.

In their battle against Auriel, everyone in the group suffered serious physical and spiritual injuries, and those injuries were not the kind that could be easily healed by drinking potions or using healing magic.

“The same goes for you, Master.”

Landius held back his words when Jude spoke as he could not refute it.

Among those who were here now, Landius was actually the most injured and hurt.

Despite having a mortal body, he jumped into the middle of a fierce fight between G.o.ds, so it was the price he paid for fighting against a mad G.o.ddess.

He appeared fine on the outside, but Jude and Cordelia who had gained divine status could tell.

The current Landius was like a candle just before it went out. Sufficient rest and time were needed to rekindle that fire.

“But Pink Bomb. But it’s only the two of you… It’s only the two of you this time…”

Scarlet could not speak properly.

Because the memories of her past lives came to her mind.

Because the Cordelia in front of her was smiling.

You two are always like this.

Always, many times, in the worst crisis, every time, you two are…

“It’s okay, Scarlet. Because I’m not going to die. Because I have no intention of dying.”

Cordelia stroked Scarlet’s cheek. She wiped away the tears that had begun to flow, and patted the back of Red Wind who hugged her and cried. She awkwardly laughed when Kajsa hugged her and Red Wind at the same time.

“I’m serious. I don’t want to die. We will return after closing the gate, saving Pleiades, and punishing Asmodeus.”

Her words were like a dream.

Beyond that place was h.e.l.l.

It was the place where Asmodeus could exert her power the most.

Moreover, Asmodeus was not in a state where she used up a lot of her power from moving between worlds like Auriel.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s just a connection. It’s not really at h.e.l.l. The only overlord is Asmodeus. Since the overlords are busy fighting each other in the first place, there may be some who will want to cooperate with us. No, I’m sure of it. Even if there are none, Jude will make it that way. Right, Jude?”

“Of course. Something like that is basic.”

When Cordelia saw Jude grinning, she burst out laughing.

“So it’s okay. We will return. Yes, there are so many things that we have to do when we come back. We’re going to have a wedding, run away as newlyweds… I-I mean, have our honeymoon… and have children too. We’ll live happily ever after.”

So we have to go.

If we don’t go now, my older sister and brother-in-law will be in danger.

Not only my father and father-in-law, but everyone in Pleiades will be in danger.

I want to protect Dahlia.

I want to protect Maja.

I want to protect Princess Daphne, Princess Leica, Kirara… and everyone we know.

Because I don’t want to be sad anymore.

Because I want to live happily with everyone.

Scarlet burst into tears at Cordelia’s words.

Lucas was also in tears.

“My disciple.”

“Yes, Master.”

Landius did not think about what to say.

He tapped Jude’s shoulder with his big hand and said with a wide smile.

“Go and come back.”

He originally had more things he wanted to say.

That Jude was the best, that he was proud to be Jude’s master.

But in the end, that was only what came out of his mouth.

Go and come back.

Be sure to come back.

Jude smiled.

He nodded and promised that he would.

The two moved forward.

Everyone looked at the back of the two.

When Cordelia moved her hand, the h.e.l.l Gate appeared.

It was an extension of the h.e.l.l Gate that opened from beyond the sky.

Purple aura was swirling in the huge crack that seemed like it had been created by tearing s.p.a.ce apart.

“You can’t run away after winning! You have to return after winning, okay?!”

Scarlet cried out.

Cordelia nodded her head. After she promised by making a pinky promise gesture in the air, she took another step forward.

Dahlia was bravely fighting from afar.

Maja brought her hands together and prayed.

Kirara remained on their side and did not betray them.

Gaël and Adelia clashed with the calamity.

And many more people.

Everyone in Pleiades.

“Jude.”

“Yes, Cordelia.”

“Actually, I’m a little scared.”

Jude nodded at Cordelia’s timid confession.

He agreed as they walked towards the h.e.l.l Gate.

“Actually, I feel the same way.”

“It will be very hard and painful.”

“The difficulty level is literally h.e.l.l.”

Because it was truly h.e.l.l.

What awaited them beyond that gate were many demons and the overlord of l.u.s.t, Asmodeus.

But Jude and Cordelia smiled.

They laughed at the small joke and kissed on the lips.

“But we can still do it.”

“That’s right. Since the first place and second place are together, right?”

Cordelia gave a reproachful glance at Jude’s words, and Jude slyly smiled and quickly changed his words.

“For me, you will always be the number one, Cordelia.”

“Look at this smooth talker.”

Cordelia softly giggled and tightly held Jude’s hand.

Because she was really scared and terrified.

But for some strange reason, she felt that she could do anything if she was with Jude.

As it had been so far, and forever would be in the future.

[It’s not just the two of you. We’re here too. Valencia-nim is also here.]

[You said it right, Melissa. My successor and Cordelia, don’t forget that we are here, okay?]

At Melissa and Valencia’s words, Jude and Cordelia nodded.

They were grateful to the two for being with them.

The h.e.l.l Gate was near.

But instead of being afraid, Jude and Cordelia looked at each other.

Holding each other’s hands so as not to tremble, they stopped and spoke at the same time.

“For a perfect happy ending.”

To be happy forever after, just like the protagonists in fairy tales.

Jude grinned.

Cordelia beamed.

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”

The two took a step forward.

As always, the two moved forward together.
