章 431: Ellegest's Remaining Strength

-----

"Kyle…"

Ellergest looked into what his old friend has become, a mass of thousands of wailing souls, roaring in agony, despair, and fury. His friend has fallen deep into an abyss of loneliness and suffering. For so many years, he had suffered through this all, shaping his own body, his own soul, and everything within him into what he has become.

"Why… You were such a sweet child back then…"

The old man began to remember his past when he was younger. All those times he spent with Kyle, teaching him magic, how to fight with his fists, how to fish in the river, how to make a fire, how to cook, how to hunt horned rabbits…

All those memories he treasured so much until now, all those memories that were… the most important thing in his entire life, those memories which were the most precious thing for him.

"Geez, you just want to bully me!"

"I love your stew!"

"Hey Ellergest, do you think I will ever grow as strong as you?"
