The clouds summoned by Sangjan poured down for a long time, to the extent that they could be called Gwehsion’s blessing, filling the vast sky as if wanting to submerge the world into the primordial sea. The endless downpour purified everything, including the undead and all peculiar beings related to Heaven’s Teachings.

“The rain… feels so warm.”

“Yes, it’s a very pleasant rain.”

While the damage caused by Heaven’s Teachings was not completely eradicated, Benjamin and Yurisien, hailed as the saviors and heroes of the nation, finally felt that everything had come to an end.

The rain that had been falling continuously for days became the divine scourge, completely expelling the lingering Heaven’s Teachings that had tormented people. Although there was an unfortunate incident of not being able to recover the bodies of family members turned undead during this process, it was a necessary sacrifice for perfect purification. As a penalty for not daring to repel the peculiar monsters, the bereaved families faced their punishment.

“The raindrops are weakening.”

“The precipitation has decreased significantly.”

Those investigating and observing the cleansing rain spoke in hopeful voices. As the fear that it might never stop grew, the rain gradually began to subside. It had been a month since Benjamin and Yurisien arrived at Sangjan’s Lake to find the cup.

During this time, people were not worried about the future even if the entire city was submerged because they believed that Gwehsion, who had prepared the ark, would somehow take care of it. And indeed, when the rain completely ceased, the clouds dispersed, revealing the sun.

“Aah!”

“Kyaaah!”

“Everyone, be careful!”

The ark provided by Gwehsion crashed. A chaotic scene where everyone, expecting tremendous shock, screamed in terror. However, there was nothing of the sort. As if disappearing through an invisible drain, the new sea vanished without causing any significant impact. The ark securely settled on the ground, never having been afloat in the water from the beginning.

With this perfect conclusion, many were moved. Even those who loved the undead, considered a product of Heaven’s Teachings, embraced Gwehsion, and it was natural that their faith in Gwehsion soared to the sky.

“I see land.”

“No, now we can only see land!”

The naval forces of Windsor raised their voices. Truly, the great Windsor. The Duke of Windsor had everything at his disposal, and the same went for the ships. Therefore, Benjamin and Yurisien were on a ship belonging to Windsor.

Although Yurisien felt a bit seasick, enduring it with the thought that life had been saved somewhere, he finally rose from the bed with a joy that he could now set foot on the ground. Benjamin supported Yurisien, who had been lying on the bed with a pale face, overwhelmed by the feeling of getting off the ship.
“Just in case, it’s better to check the wounds one more time.”

Gwehsion was referring to the wounds on the ship that he had personally treated. Despite healing perfectly during the past monsoon season, leaving only small scars resembling holy marks, Benjamin’s concern did not wane. Eorghan shared the same worry, and Yurisien replied, “Let’s go down. There’s not just one or two things we need to see.”

Having been submerged in sacred water for a very long time, there was much to check. However, Yurisien’s words were slightly different.

“We need to find the lost Sangjan!”

Caught in the pouring rain and hastily boarding the ship, Sangjan was left behind. Though they wanted to find her, the waves were tumultuous, and the sea created by the flooding river was dirtier than the purification rain, causing difficulties in the search. Losing the relic that had purified everything, Yurisien felt everything was his fault.

“If it falls into someone else’s hands…”

There was no guarantee that another Heaven’s Teachings incident wouldn’t happen. Yurisien quickly stepped on the ground before even drinking a glass of cold water to settle his seasickness. Benjamin understood her impatient feelings, but in the end, Sangjan was not found.

“Sangjan’s Lake… it’s gone.”

“Completely vanished without a trace.”

Perhaps Gwehsion didn’t foresee all of this, the two thought.

In the place where the palace once stood, the circle of circular roots was submerged.

“Over there…”

At Eorghan’s words, Cali swallowed dry saliva. Where Greta was last, where Greta’s corpse would be. The tension rose just by digging the place where the nemesis met her gruesome end, knowing how brutal that last moment was. But it was something that had to be done someday.

“Let’s get it over with before Yuris comes.”

“Yes, understood.”

Under Eorghan’s command, tense Windsor knights began cutting the roots one by one. The roots that didn’t yield even when Greta resisted were easily cut off, perhaps weakened by the rain that had fallen for the past month. And inside the exposed roots.

“My lord! You must see this!”
