The moon is really beautiful tonight.
A full moon with a blood-red color.
The wind was blowing very hard, making my clothes and hair flutter with it.
Right now, I'm on top of the building. Looking at the scenery in front of me.
Ancient ruins.
Once upon a time, these ruins were a lively city. Children run around with their friends. People hawk their wares at the market. Many people were drinking while it was still light out, and when they made a scene, the guards would swiftly step in. The building stands firmly and has its beauty. The neighborhood is where many people live with their families.
And now all that remains of it are crumbling, age-worn buildings. Almost all of them were flattened due to the impact of the battle.
There were no plants, water, or other signs of life. Even the ground was barren.
I could only feel the aura of hatred, sadness, and death from the many people in this place.
The people of this city have been slaughtered by the god of war. Almost all did not survive.
And this is where the final battle will be fought.
Fate is such an irony.
Tap tap tap.
I heard footsteps from behind me.
"They're coming."
As I looked into the distance. I saw hundreds, even tens of thousands of the dead and demon walking here. Among them, I could see him.
I nodded at the report from my brother.
There was an awkward silence between us. I knew that he had something to say, so I kept quiet until he was ready to say it.
My brother opened and closed his mouth several times.
"Are...are you sure you want to fight the god himself?"
I turned to look at my brother.
The sight of the little boy who had always protected me was gone, replaced by the figure of a man. His expression was always flat and cold. But when you look into his eyes, you can see all his emotions.
"My fight with him was foretold. I am the only one who can defeat him."
My brother restrained himself from saying anything further.
"Don't die."
Instead of saying ' I hope you win', he said not to die. His words made it clear that he was more concerned about my safety.
"Haha, yes, I'll come back alive. Brother too, please stay safe"
But brother, I must be able to defeat him so that we can live peacefully in this world.
I'm not interested in protecting everyone in this world. But I'll make sure I protect the people closest to me, especially my family.
The enemy is approaching. And it's time for the fight to begin.
I flew up using my magic to get close to him.
Seeing me approaching, he didn't take his eyes off me at all and remained focused on me.
"It's been so long"
"Yes, it's been a long time Alastor"
"I didn't expect that you'd be the one to get in my way again. Humans are just weak and lowly things that are disgusting. Your suffering also comes from them, why do you want to save them?"
"I remember answering your question before."
"Hah, your answer is full of lies. I've known you long enough, one or two I can tell the difference correctly"
"Not that long enough."
I myself also don't know why I blocked you that time. And why didn't I kill you right then and there.
I didn't do it for my duty.
I didn't understand this feeling back then.
But it is both compassion and anger.
My compassion and anger towards you that can only be redeemed by yourself.
"Let's the war begin Alastor"
"Heh, how funny"
He took out his greatsword and I also started to take out my katana.
Our special weapons. God Slayer.
I attacked him strongly from above and he immediately blocked my attack. Causing the ground to crack and the shockwave caused the surrounding to be blown away.
This is the battle that will decide the fate of mankind.
