I detested my own existence.

{{VN:Dialogue

Just looking at them from afar.

{{VN:Dialogue

Just then, the two heard the sound of a door opening behind them.

I feel a presence approaching.

The first one to move, was Horkeukamui.
{{VN:Dialogue
|character=
|face=
|dialogue=There’s no time to argue!
}}
Before Nomad was able to do anything,
Horkeukamui uses his sacred weapon to conjure up spheres of ice.  With a kick, he sends them to the foes, blowing them back.
{{VN:Dialogue
|character=Nomad
|face=neutral
|dialogue=…..!
}}
A sphere of ice went through Nomad-
Or so it seemed, but all it was was a layer of clothing.
His body had done a somersault, revealing his true form.
{{VN:Dialogue

|dialogue=I saw how serious you were with that attack.
You did well to see through my disguise.

{{VN:Dialogue

}}
{{VN:Dialogue

|dialogue=I didn’t see through you.<br>
I simply knew the real Nomad would be able to dodge an attack of that magnitude.

{{VN:Dialogue

|face=
|dialogue=I see, so I’m still inexperienced.<br>
It’s like I’m being lectured by the chief.

While speaking, the other ninja form a circle.

{{VN:Dialogue

|face=
|dialogue=It seems I’ve completely abandoned my purpose.<br>
I, Horkeukamui… no....
}}
Hanging his head down, Horkeukamui changes his way of thinking.
To win this battle, he didn’t have time to think about anything unnecessary.
{{VN:Dialogue
|character=
|face=
|dialogue=Close your mouth, [<i>player</i>].<br>
Or else you’ll bite your tongue!

He runs.
Horkeukamui runs.

Horkeukamui was starting to disappear.
Blood poured from his back.
But that blood disappeared before it even hit the ground.
His body, his spirit, his existence.
The world was trying to erase all of it.
{{VN:Dialogue
|character=
|face=
|dialogue=I’m alright.  There’s no need to worry about me anymore.
}}
{{VN:Dialogue

With no master, my connection to Tokyo will soon disappear.

{{VN:Dialogue

{{VN:Dialogue

{{VN:Dialogue

This is …where I will die.
}}
{{VN:Dialogue
|character=
|face=
|dialogue=I wonder, will I be able to go to the same place that all those other heroes disappeared to...
}}
[<i>Player</i>] holds his arm, while Horkeukamui looks to the heavens.
He had accepted it.
He accepted his own erasure.

Hearing that, Horkeukamui turns his head towards you.

{{VN:Dialogue

Then, he gazes at [<i>player's</i>] face.
}}
Just by exchanging looks,
You get the sense that you now understand each others feelings.
{{VN:Dialogue
|character=
|face=
|dialogue=Aa…aah….
}}
Tears pour from the wolf’s eyes.
They’re hot, very hot tears.
He once gave up on everything, and accepted his disappearance. 
But now, he wanted more than anything to stay.
{{VN:Dialogue

{{VN:Dialogue

Horkkeukamui raises a howl, while streaming tears.
{{VN:Dialogue

Dear heroes that I loved.

{{VN:Dialogue

Thanks to that, I finally understand everything….

He clenches his fist, and flutters his gakuran.
Horkeukamui now understands the heart.
{{VN:Dialogue

Dear [<i>player</i>].

Please, harden, and steal away, my Rule!
}}
By Horkeukamui’s Rule, the poison in [Player]s blood freezes hard, and is stolen away, flowing outside off [player]s body.
Imprisoned by his own role, the weak wolf who did nothing but look from afar is no longer here.
In accordance with my own heart,
I will protect the hero that my soul has accepted.
{{VN:Dialogue
