Sixty years by Lukes' side, by his side, have been my happiest years. These warm memories are enough to sustain me in the darkness of the mausoleum until my life is gone.

Although there were only four members of Lux's team before I joined, namely the dwarven forger Karagan, known as the "Aegis", the "Dead Walker" Veesed, and the "peerless beauty" Alice, and Lux, who was known as the "Divine Messenger" at the time, each of them possessed extremely strong strength, so our team quickly became the strongest team that no one could match among the Crimson adventurers at that time.

I thought that the adventures of the five of us would continue forever and become a legend that will be sung forever by future generations, but it all happened in the tenth year after I joined.

In order to liberate the sealed demon god, one of the three demon kings, the Zerg Emperor Shuerjiesfu, united with the orcs to provoke a war that affected the entire world. The tri-clan alliance composed of humans, elves, and dwarves fought a decisive battle against the insect and beast alliance on the orc continent Haierrui.

Although war is extremely common in this world of many races and heroes, compared to this war, previous wars can only be regarded as small fights, and the scale of this war may be second only to the legendary "Final War".

The war has brought huge consumption to both camps, and in order to enhance their own strength, both sides began to use their best to win over neutral forces, and soon, goblins, winged people, and various monster races joined the war.

With the full assistance of Elemental City, the alliance of the three clans was able to find the shelter of the Worm Emperor. As a result, five teams of Crimson-level adventurers were summoned as a special commando team to defeat the Insect Emperor, and of course we were among the strongest teams in the world.

Since the four major insect envoys of the Zerg and the ten chieftains of the orcs were all pinned down by the coalition forces on the front line of the battlefield, we were able to smoothly go deep behind enemy lines and come to the front of the Insect Emperor.

However, the Insect Emperor with the holy relics, its strength is far beyond our imagination, our battle with the Insect Emperor lasted for three days and three nights, although we were finally able to successfully defeat the Insect Emperor, but we also paid a terrible price for this, except for us, all the Crimson team was killed, and in our team, Alice was also sacrificed, and Karagang was paralyzed.

Although the Worm Emperor's flesh was damaged, his power did not die, so Lux sealed the maggots that carried its essence with magic crystals.

This vast battle of the world lasted for three full years, and finally ended in the victory of the Tri-Clan Alliance. However, the joy of victory could not hide the heavy pain of destruction, and many excellent warriors and powerful mages fell victim to this cruel war, and the country was destroyed, families were shattered, monsters were rampant, and order was gone.

After the war, Karagang was taken back to the dwarven kingdom as a hero, and Viced, who was devastated by Alice's death, did not say goodbye, and I followed Lux to the northern part of Jurrant, where monsters were infested, to help the humans there fight against monsters.

Thanks to our efforts, peace was finally brought to this land once again, and the Principality of Basol, the kingdom of mankind, was established. Lux became the first king of this kingdom and was honored as the "Green Sage", while I, as the warrior guarding the king, was called the "Lord of Might".

Lux realizes that the magic crystal that seals the Bug Emperor will inevitably attract the prying eyes of the Zerg and bring ruin to the nascent kingdom. So soon after, Lux and I left the royal capital with the holy relic "Eternal Night Cloak" and magic crystals, and lived a leisurely life in the mountains and forests, living a leisurely life with birds and beasts.

Because of Lux's appearance, I was able to truly integrate into this world, and I think I was born to protect this gentle person.

Forty years may be a long time for human beings, but for me who has a long life, it is a matter of a flick of a finger.

No matter how powerful Lux is, he is just a human being, unable to resist the erosion of time. I watched him grow older day by day, and I felt extremely sad and anxious, but there was nothing I could do about it.

The day of parting that had long been predestined had come.

Lux lay in the grave he had built for himself, his breathing slowing. I looked at this familiar and unfamiliar old face, and my heart felt indescribable sadness, but I was just an elemental spirit made of light, and no matter how sad I was, I couldn't cry.

"Geous, you've worked so hard all these years, and it's time for you to live your own life, such as marrying a wife and having children."

Lux said in a faint but still relaxed tone.

"It sounds good, but I'm just a light element, and I don't have gender, so I'm afraid I can't reproduce like you humans."

"Haha, I'm just kidding, you're serious. So as a dear friend, I told you that I am not from this world. Lately, I've been thinking that maybe I'll go back to the world when I die, so don't be sad, I'm just going home. ”

Lux smiled warmly, just like he had then.

"Ah, the world you described? It would be nice to be able to go back. ”

I gripped Lukes' emaciated hand and forced out a smile.

"Hahahaha, you think so too, right, if I could, it would really be like taking you to see it, but in that case, you might be treated as an alien."

Lux laughed happily, and then his expression turned serious again.

"I've used a lot of hidden magic and made traps, but it's not something I'm good at, so I'd be better off if it was Wesed and Karagon. Then, as the last person who can be trusted, my dear friend, please promise me that after my death, bury this mausoleum as much as possible in the ground, and let the magic crystal that sealed the Worm Emperor disappear from this world. ”

I felt Lukes take my hand tightly.

"As long as it is your request, I will do my best."

"In that case, I'll rest assured, and I'll leave you with this Eternal Night Suit. It's a shame to think about it.,Although the goal is to bring peace to the world.,I've done a lot of things.,But it seems like I've always relied on the strength of others.,At first it was Vesside and they.,And then it's you.,I seem to be able to say pretty things.,Haha,If it's you.,You should be able to do better than me.,So,Goodbye.,The world will ask you.。 ”

Lux smiled and closed his eyes.

"Ah, goodbye, my master!"

I looked at him as if he were asleep for ten days, as if he would wake up again.

In the end, however, Lux didn't wake up either.

I placed the Night's Suit as a burial object next to Lux, and activated the mechanism that had been set up to bury the entire mausoleum deep underground.

I guess I was born to protect you.

So,

I will always watch over you,

Until the end of my life,

Rest in peace,

My Friend,

My Lord,

My God!
