In the end, only a barely audible whisper lingered in the Sanctuary for a long while.
"Whatever you intend to do... I will never let you succeed!"
"This time, I will definitely kill you!"
...
...
"What just happened? Was I dreaming?"
Steven looked up blankly, uncertain if he had become delusional from exhaustion.
Did the sun come out just now?
One should not go out on the night of the blood moon, but he could no longer remember the time.
Having traveled with a stubborn determination for more than ten days, Steven finally arrived outside the village where his daughter was settled.
Yet just before returning to his daughter's village, Steven witnessed an unusual miracle with his own eyes.
Bathed in this sunlight, Steven felt his awareness become much clearer and shook his head vigorously.
Dragging his weary body, he released the third horse he had used and walked step by step towards the village alone.
"...I hope Teresa is alright."
