The Last Descendant of the Holy Sword Family

Farewell to Irene

******

Zen sat in his room wiping his two cursed swords to dispel boredom. It had been quite a while since she left Irene's room, but Irene still hadn't come either.

Zen then pulled out a dagger and he injured his hand with the dagger. Zen observed the recovered wounds.

"It seems to be slowing down."

Although it was uncertain the time difference, but Zen felt that his regeneration power slowed down.

Not long after, the door of Zen's room opened. Irene entered by holding Fernanse in both hands.

"I am ready, Your Majesty."

Hearing Irene's words, Zen then stood up and opened a door leading to the basement.

Without much talking they immediately entered the room, the hall that had been dark was immediately turned bright because of the candle wax that was on the wall.

The candle will light up automatically when someone enters the basement. Zen and Irene continued walking through the passageway.

After a while they finally reached their destination, a room that looked like it had never been cleaned with many tiny crystal crystals scattered about. The room was where Fernanse's body was sealed in a crystal.

"Go there Irene."

Zen told Irene to stand on a large magic circle while holding Fernanse.

"Your Majesty, do you need to do this?"

"I'm sorry Irene."

"What I'm sorry about, you're a Zen liar."

Irene showed a face that looked like she was about to cry.

"I'm sorry."

Irene placed Fernanse and approached Zen.

"You're a liar Zen, you're a liar."

Irene hit Zen softly, Tears began to fall from her eyes, Irene cried quite strongly.

"It's not like you Irene."

Irene who would normally only show an expressionless face, but this time she was completely different from the usual. Irene was crying in Zen's arms.

"Although I knew this day was coming, it was still difficult for me to leave you Zen."

"I know it's Irene."

"I've always hoped the future would change, I've seen thousands of future branches but in the end all of those branches are connected today."

"The future is very difficult for Irene to change, to change the future you must become stronger than the will of this world."

"I know that, but I still hope today won't come."

Zen simply fell silent without saying anything, deep down he also did not want to leave Irene. But he had no choice, for Zen to see the departure of Irene alive much better than seeing the departure of Irene dead.

"Zen, can you grant my request?"

Irene did not say what she wanted, Irene immediately kissed Zen's lips.

After a while, Irene let go of the kiss and looked towards Zen.

"I love you Zen."

A bright smile Irene showed Zen, it was a smile that Zen had never seen before.

"I love you too, Irene."

A bright and subtle smile Zen showed to Irene.

"I know it's Zen."

Zen then wiped the tears on Irene's face, then with both hands Zen held Irene towards the magic circle in front of her.

"Do you want me to erase Irene's memory?"

"No, I just want to be like this."

"Alright, then accept this."

Zen gave a paper to Irene, it was a paper that Fernanse made by implanting protection magic inside.

"Dimension gaps are very dangerous, if you find a living being there then flow your mana into this paper and he will protect you."

Irene received the paper from Zen, and Zen immediately came out of the magic circle.

"I don't know which world you'll be sent down to, but I hope you'll descend into a world of peace without war."

Zen instantly activated the magic circle, the magic circle was a magic circle that could move a person to another world.

A golden light shone on the magic circle, like a dimming light, Irene and Fernanse's bodies began to slowly disappear.

"I will pray for your salvation Zen, see you again."

Irene and Fernanse's bodies had disappeared completely, the golden light on the magic circle had also disappeared.

From Zen's face, a glorious tear fell down. He tried to wipe away those tears, yet the tears continued to flow nonstop.

"How long have I not cried."

Zen looked at the sky and closed his eyes. The Zen emotions that should have disappeared had now returned.

"It turns out to be true, my emotions started to return from then on."

Zen's great annoyance to Zmei made his emotions that had fallen asleep begin to slowly awaken. It was because of that at that moment that his regeneration power began to slow down.

In exchange for the immortal body Zen had to lose his emotions, now his emotions had returned and Zen no longer had an immortal body.

With a body that could be destroyed at any time, Zen made the decision to send Irene to another world before the Abrials attacked his castle.

"In this world I no longer have someone I care about, so I no longer need to hold back. I don't care what happens to this world anymore."

With a face still moist with tears, Zen left the room and returned to his room. The living candles were now dying and the passage darkened again.
