Did...did we win?!

Karna Masta is fading away...

Hans...we won, didn't we?

That's right. Ark...thank you so much.

Ilia...

Hans! Ark!

You did it! Karna Masta is completely defeated at last!

And Ilia is back safely! I'm so glad!

Yes, this, too, is all thanks to...

Urgh...

Ark, are you all right?! Here, I'll heal you...

No, I'm fine. This isn't something you can heal...

Ark...you mean you really...

Yes, it seems my body is near its limit, now.

As a human who obtained the powers of a disciple, I lived for countless years...

...but that, too, will soon come to an end.

No... Not now, not when you finally saved Ilia...

Please don't be upset, Lady Tilith.

My end draws near, as well.

After sealing away the Holy Emperor for so long, my soul is already beginning to break.

Ilia... Ark, isn't there anything we can do?!

I always had an idea in a way, that...

...even if I were able to survive rescuing Ilia, we would not live long.

Even so, I am truly happy I was able to save her.

Ark...

I...I absolutely will not apologize, I hope you realize.

I know that you suffered for ages because of me, but...

...you don't want to hear apologies from me, do you...?

Ilia...

After all...Ark, you're...you're...

Oh, Ark...I'm so sorry!

All because of me...you've suffered such misery!

I...I...

Ilia...

Ilia, thank you for waiting for me.

I may have taken the very, very long route to get here...

...and I don't know how much more time we'll have together...

...but even so, I want to spend my life with you, for however long we have left.

Ilia, I love you.

Thank you...Ark.

I've been waiting years...no, centuries, to hear you say that.

But I don't mind. No matter what anyone thinks, I love you, too.

Let's make up for all those years of waiting by finding our happiness together.

Yes...yes, let's. Let's be happy together...Ilia...

Hans, my...no, our battle is over.

Keep marching toward the future, alongside those who live in the present.

I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of future you all build.

This is goodbye, Summoner who surpassed the gods.

Someday, I'll tell my comrades from long ago about the days when we fought together.

They're gone...

They both looked so happy, didn't they, Hans?

They've found true happiness, right?

......

Now, let's head back to Grand Gaia!

And this time, I don't care what it takes, I'm going to make you take me to the beach!

Hehe, I'm sure they're okay! They still have lots of time to spend together!

So let's enjoy our time together!

Don't you agree, my dear Hans?
