An Extra’s POV

"[Magic Surge]."

A sudden blast of power burst from within the Chamber of Andients, causing the entire area to vibrate and the Dragons that gathered around the struggling swordsman to be pushed back.

In that instant, Lucielle teleported right beside the muscular man who gripped his blade with sheer resolve.

He smiled the moment he felt her presence, though he couldn't afford to look at her face due to the intensity of the battle.

"It's finally done?" He asked.

"Yeah… he's gone."

For a moment, there was silence among the two of them.

Then—

"How far back?" Rey asked, slightly glancing at the tear-filled face of his beloved.

"As far as he could go—to the very beginning."

Upon hearing that, he smiled. Using his unoccupied hand to wipe away the tears on her face, he nodded slowly.

His hand was rough—hardened by the constant battles that had been fought—but Lucielle found solace in his touch.

Rey Skylar and Lucielle; these two stood before the horde of Dragons before them, yet their display of affection was not stifled.

"Thank you, Lucielle." Rey smiled as he slowly removed his hand from her face, his fingers caressing her soft skin for what would be the last time.

His trembling voice made it clear that he was holding back the tears that would have overflowed.

Lucielle was never allowed to show weakness in front of everyone. She was the best—the strongest in this world.

So, the only one she could be vulnerable with was someone who could hide their own weakness and embrace hers.

That person was Rey.

He took on her fears, insecurities, and pain—even at this very moment—and made them all his.

"Why are you thanking me, stupid." Lucielle laughed, her eyes growing moist yet again.

"Who knows…"

As Rey said this, he cast his gaze into the distance, watching as the Dragons halted in their advancement.
