The impassioned exclamation accompanied by screams and explosions was Otto's last sound left in the world.
He died.
Leaving behind the heroic image of a monarch who died fighting to protect his people.
And an unmanageable mess.
Roland, seeing this scene from a distance, almost cursed out loud.
Of course, he knew what Otto was doing.
As long as the Otherworld version of Smeemassee arrived quickly enough, no one could drag him to a war tribunal.
Otto wasn't giving up in despair; he was using this extreme way to protect his family.
Though he made mistakes, he had already washed them with his life and blood. Anyone still targeting his family would be excessive.
Although everyone was labeled as barbarians by the Magic Empire, countries in Rodinia prided themselves as the embodiment of civilization; they were above such actions.
Otto shirked responsibility with his life, and the pressure instantly fell on Roland and the others.
