She declared resolutely, and in an instant the flaming horse and massive beast unleashed their power―
―In the end, the lake in the northern region of Elior Forest was utterly annihilated with not a trace left.
The evening sun descended on Elior Forest’s sky, and the snow-white forest was dyed orange. The forest was always covered by thick clouds and snowfall persisted throughout the year. The very fact that they were able to look up at the sky’s evening glow could be said to be a catastrophe on par with a cataclysm.
But that sort of emotionless analysis wasn’t necessary right now. Just a few words, this would be nice.
“―What a beautiful sky.” Falling to her knees on the snow, gazing at the sky and forest illuminated by the evening glow― The scene of the entire surface being dyed orange, Emilia seemed enraptured as she murmured this.
“It is quite the view, isn’t it. Guess Melakuera did something decent in the end.”
The beautiful evening sky, a miraculous scenery that Melakuera had unintentionally created.
Puck seemed dissatisfied that it was because of Melakuera, but the details didn’t matter when it came to the deep emotions it produced. Come to think of it, this was Emilia’s first time seeing such a clear sky.
“Your clash with one of the Four Greats, perhaps you’re refeeeerrring to ‘The Day The Heavens and The Earth Turned Red’ from seven years ago? Two beings possessing extraordinary mana clashed in this forest, producing a colossal calamity that dyed the forest and the sky red, or so the rumor goes.”
“Seven years! It’s already been that long, huh. Time sure goes by quickly.”
“The events of that day ended up becoming that kind of rumor?” Emilia and Puck exchanged glances, the rumor the man spoke of was familiar to them.
It was definitely about the day they clashed with Melakuera. On that day, Melakuera’s power scorched the land and cleared the skies, spreading an evening glow. It truly was the day the heavens and the earth turned red.
