Three days later. A funeral was held in the cemetery west of Crossroad. Since there had been no casualties in Stage 3 and Stage 4, it had been quite some time since the last funeral. ‘I wish we never had to hold another one…’ As the procession of coffins moved in, that was what I…

Of course, the ‘suicide’ I ordered was not simply physical destruction. It was a command for real death, to shatter his own soul core. “Ah, urk…!” Pain-filled groans slipped out of Celendion’s mouth.
