Tonight is a night of victory, as well as a night of sorrow. The cause comes from the same source. Ify. His passing became something that went awry now. I don't know when this situation will take place. But obviously, everyone is in a state that is not okay.
A lot of energy was drained after the battle. The people gathered here were already in a weak state of helplessness. Especially Aunt Ga Eun. The rest of his strength was definitely not much else. Oa should take a break soon after this funeral is over.
As soon as Ify's body was laid on a pile of firewood, many people could not help but cry. Including Nhea. The girl felt guilty. Because after all, Ify was like this because of it. He regretted his actions. He should not have followed Chanwo.
Eun Ji Hae's cry broke right then and there. His hands suddenly shook violently as he was about to prepare to emit fire from his hands. Eun Ji Hae is not. However, Ify's body must still be cremated. It was the only way to properly bury him.
There are several bodies buried in this school cemetery indeed. The number increases every winter. Of course Ify was the cause. But usually it will only be done if the snow does not fall too heavy. For now, the entire burial ground had been shrouded in snow. The green color that was supposed to be there, has now turned all white. Because the cemetery is not included in the protection of this artificial portal. Because there's nothing to protect there.
"Do it!" aunt Ga Eun's orders.
He tried to keep a firm look in front of everyone. Hiding her tears that would come out at that very moment. But it's all for nothing. Everyone here knows they are sad. No one would forbid him if he cried even sobbing. It's natural. He's just a normal human being. Just like the others.
"A-aaa-I can't do it" Eun Ji Hae said.
"By ify.." he wrote.
The girl was blunt. He will not be able to do it until anytime. His voice shakes when he speaks. His emotions are unstable.
Eun Ji Hae knocked herself down right then and there. He sat down right in front of the girl. It was as if powerless to withstand all the emotional burdens he felt. Eun Ji Hae's crying became more and more so, before he finally burned Ify's body.
The girl had never expected that she would actually do this. Something from within him strictly forbids Eun Ji Hae to do so. But on the other hand, something from within him also gave him the impetus to do so.
There's no other choice. Because in the end he still has to do that. Ify's body had to be cremated before dawn. No one can dispute the order. This rule has been established since the beginning of the creation of the magic world.
Reportedly according to one of the legendary books written by one of the famous magicians of his time, the most magical magic will only work right at midnight, until the time before the sun appears. Magic power will work optimally at such times. Especially when the full moon cycle appears.
