Summary[]

During the war, a young man was drawing pictures not far from the military camp. At this time, Hank handed a glass of water to the young man. Time came to modern times, and a frontier soldier discovered that the Incarnate of Behemoth was moving among the woods.

Schaal and Hank took the train to South Patria. They approached a huge iron bridge connecting the north and the south. The driver told Schaal that the huge iron bridge was a symbol of peace at the end of the war. At this time, Lisa and the military ordered the conductor to stop the train. She told Hank that the military had received the incarnation of the Incarnate of Behemoth nearby and was heading east to the iron bridge. If the Behemoth reaches the iron bridge, it may destroy it. Hank told the military many of Behemoth's abilities. He told the military how to temporarily subdue Behemoth. The military formulated Hank's plan to stop Behemoth. They initially used cannons to attack Behemoth. Moss attacks to no avail, but Hank manages to subdue Behemoth by stabbing him in the leg joint with his weapon. Lisa tells Schaal that she has received a recent report from the military stating that Behemoth was unharmed. The behavior of any human being, as he has been avoiding densely populated areas, it is possible that Behemoth has retained his humanity.

The next day, Schaal visited Behemoth and asked why it continued to move forward without turning back but received no answer. At this time, Lisa and Hank negotiated with the president of the railroad. At first, the president's request to kill Behemoth was rejected. , Lisa explains their plan to fill the valley in front of the beast with explosives to protect the Iron Bridge so they can deal with Behemoth's problem, but the railroad president is dissatisfied and angrily leaves.

After Hank ordered the military to set up explosives next to the valley, Schaal asked Hank about the past of Behemoth. Hank explained that Behemoth was a man named Artie who was good at drawing. A taciturn young man, Schaal told Hank that she discovered that the reason why Behemoth headed towards the iron bridge was because there was something it wanted to see, but Hank said that he could not save Behemoth. After all, they just to kill Behemoth came to protect everyone's safety, and as Incarnates they cannot destroy the current peace, but Schaal disagreed with Hank's statement because she found that Behemoth tried to live peacefully in this era and also maintained human nature. In the afternoon, after Lisa confirmed the explosives brought by the army, she found that Schaal was worried about Behemoth. Lisa told Schaal that even if she tried to save Behemoth, it would be in vain, because even if Behemoth did not attack the iron The danger brought by the bridge will have to be punished sooner or later, and they cannot ignore the danger of Behemoth, they can only choose the path that brings a painless end to Behemoth.

That night, the men sent by the president of the railway knocked out the military guards and tried to blow up Behemoth. Who knew that Behemoth was so angry that he trampled them and approached the bridge. Hank ordered the army to kill Behemoth, When he after confirming the placement of the explosives and the location of the remaining explosives, he immediately transformed into a werewolf to block Behemoth and pushed it down to a part of the cliff full of explosives. The military tried to use the explosives to detonate the explosives in the debris. Bury the beast,the force of the explosion had no way to retreat and became even more powerful, tearing open the chest of Behemoth . Behemoth continued to move forward even though his internal organs were about to fall out. Schaal stood on the bridge and begged Behemoth not to hurt others if he still had humanity left. Hank on the ground begged Artie not to destroy the future they had created. At this time, the explosion near the bridge blew up the canyon wall, and the giant beast saw what it wanted to see - the seaside opposite and an endless sea. Behemoth collapsed with tears streaming from his eyes. Only then did Hank understand Behemoth's intention and showed sad eyes.

After the incident, Hank told Schaal that he remembered Artie once telling him about his wish to see the sea. At that time, Hank told Artie that he could go see the sea after the war. Schaal then understood that the reason why Hank asked the military to set up explosives next to the valley was to prevent Behemoth from having to walk across the iron bridge to view the sea. Hank said that even so, it still could not change the fact that he killed Artie. , but Schaal told Hank that thanks to his help, Artie could realize his wish in the end. Hank felt a little comfort when he heard Schaal's statement, and they decided not to let down Artie's wish and the peace they had fought for in the past.

When Hank and Schaal return to camp, Lisa told Hank that she had received reports from the Army that Cain had been found in Whitechurch, which made Hank very sensitive. Because Cain is not only Hank's enemy and the deputy leader of the original Incarnate force, but more importantly, he is the one who released all the Incarnates who turned into beasts into the world. In Whitechurch, Cain and a mysterious girl encounter two prostitutes on the street. When Cain gets close and bites a prostitute, causing her to mutate and snap another prostitute's neck. Cain felt that the world was boring, worthless, and empty, so he took the girl around him and left.
