96. Farewell
"Are you even going to get out of here?"
Hearing McCree's words, the ash on the side looked at them in disbelief.
Looking at Ash's incomprehensible gaze, McRae and Banner on the side glanced at each other and nodded calmly, although it looked very calm, Banner subconsciously looked away instead of looking at Ash's eyes. However, McCree nodded very calmly, and said sincerely in the eyes of the ashes: "Hmm! ”
"Why?"
“…… Because we have already arrived at our destination......" was silent for a moment, looking at the ashes in front of him who seemed to want to say something, McRae on the side nodded and said, "...... Is the next target of the Immortal Monastery Asgard? ”
“…… Well. Nodding, Ash didn't intend to deceive his friend. And after receiving the affirmation of Ash, McRae's eyes were also a little gray. Shaking his head with emotion, McRae continued:
"I'm not a fighter."
Looking at the ashes in front of him calmly, McRae lit a cigar and said, "I was born a cowboy. Cowboys, on the other hand, will only fight for companionship and freedom. I don't want to step on anyone's chariot, I'm for myself, and for the justice in my heart...... And now, to bring harm to innocent people for the sake of my own selfish desires has touched the evil ...... in my heart."
"My bastard dad told me that a cowboy can be a jerk, but he must not trample on the bottom line of his heart...... Even if it's for freedom. ”
Hearing McCree's sincere words, the ashes on the side also lowered their heads and fell silent. After a moment, looking up at McCree's determined, sincere gaze, Ash pursed his lips and then looked around the Fireless Sacrifice Ground. The Firefighter didn't appear here, but Firefighter's soul was huge, and she must have known about it...... But why didn't she come out? Ash couldn't figure it out...... He didn't know what to do because he wasn't very good at dealing with the situation.
Thinking about it, Ash looked at Banner beside McCree.
"Are you too?"
There was a thick reluctance in Ash's voice, which made Banner's heart shake slightly. But this vacillation did not last long, thinking of the possibility of war breaking out at any time, and what McCray had just said, Banner finally nodded ruthlessly.
Looking at the two people in front of him, who had already made up their minds, Ash stood there a little overwhelmed. After a few moments, Ash finally calmed down. But as Ash calmed down, for some reason, McCree felt Ash's pupils hidden behind the visor dim a little...... Although it is impossible to see at all.
"Now that you've decided, I'm not going to stop you...... Good bye. ”
Hearing the sound of ashes, for some reason, McCree's heart paused slightly, but soon returned to normal. He glanced at Banner beside him, then turned to leave. Under the leadership of the old nun, he slowly left the monastery of the immortals.
Before leaving, glance back at the ashes behind him. Glancing around again, McRae muttered for a few seconds before saying, "We've heard from Brunhilde from Asgard...... Be careful. ”
“…… Well....... ”
Watch them disappear into the gray-white fog at the monastery gate. Ash glanced left and right at the empty fireless sacrificial ground, except for the business where the living corpses kept devouring each other in order to restore the remnant souls, there was no other noise, thinking, Ash shook his head helplessly...... Somewhat sad.
This is not the first time, when they were on the road to spread fire, Ash also had a lot of friends. But they all end up disappearing on the journey...... After defeating the giant Yum in the ashes, The Onion Knight chose to kill himself in the palace of the capital of sin in order to keep his best friend from being alone on the road to death. The Fran deserter who was hiding in the fire sacrifice ground, after seeing the wolf blood sword grass brought back by the ashes from the Farran Fortress, finally chose to pick up the former sword and return to the battlefield where he once drank wolf blood with his partners and made an oath. There is also the saint who was once simple and lovely, but was eroded by the abyss after reading the holy scriptures, was eaten by insects day and night, and was finally freed by the sword of ashes......
Just like the road of fire transmission in the past, no matter what happens at the beginning, on the way, at the end, you will often only be left alone...... Thinking about the ashes, he turned his head to look behind him. Perhaps because of her heart, the current fireproof woman also slowly walked out of the side of the sacrificial ground, and was standing there calmly, as if looking at the ashes of her cheeks in response. There was no smile on the face, and there was no sadness. It's like an outsider who has nothing to do with it......
And this time, Ash didn't ask why the fire girl was like this...... It's not a betrayal because, as McRae said, they've made it to their destination...... And McCree was never a member of the Immortal Abbey in the true sense of the word, but merely a companion in the passage. In other words, the Immortal Monastery could not accommodate an alien like him...... Yes, in the monastery of the undead, he was instead an outlier.
He was just a mortal, perhaps skilled in marksmanship and physically strong, but in the monastery of the undead...... That's all.
inherited the two eras of fire and the deep sea, and the fireproof girl who connected the universe spiritually; Conduct a parade of fire, waiting for the final crowning of the primordial ashes; and Hela, the former commander of the Asgardian Legion and Odin's executioner...... And the countless geistins, or the living corpses.
They all have one characteristic, and that is that there is no place in this world that can accommodate them. Banner told Ash that monsters should stay with monsters. But now, Banner is more of a normal person than Ash them......
As Tony had said before, the Immortal Monastery is more of a madhouse than a monastery.
An insane asylum run by a group of lunatics and a madman run by a madman.
But is Ash really a madman? Not...... It's just that what he wants to do is completely contrary to this era......
"They...... It's all gone......"
Looking directly into the eyes of the fireproof woman, there was a slight sadness in the ashes' eyes.
Nodding, the firefighter said calmly, "No need to be sad, Lord Ash......"
"I'm still here."
Interrupting the fire girl, Hela walked out as she spoke.
Unusually, she looked at the fire prevention girl beside her with a bit of a smile - her aura has changed.
