Chapter 1107

""There's no need to thank me. This victory feels unreal, and it's far from over—you know that better than I do.""

…Yeah. In the end, I still couldn't figure out where that black‑robed swordsman came from, and I can't even be sure it's dead. Bai'e stared off into the distance at KefaLe, "Maybe I never broke free of my fate."

…Yeah. In the end, I still couldn't figure out where that black‑robed swordsman came from, and I can't even be sure it's dead. Bai'e gazed into the distance at KefaLe, "Perhaps I never severed my own destiny."

We need to keep quotes. We'll output: ""…Yeah. In the end, I still couldn't figure out the origins of that black-robed swordsman, and I can't even be sure of its death." Bai'e gazed into the distance at KefaLe, "Perhaps I never severed my own destiny.""

But note the Chinese uses 「…」 for speech; we can use English double quotes.

Let's produce: ""…Yeah. In the end, I still couldn't figure out the origins of that black-robed swordsman, and I can't even be sure of its death." Bai'e gazed into the distance at KefaLe, "Perhaps I never severed my own destiny.""

The Battle of the Twin Cities.

The Battle of the Twin Cities.

Has the fire‑stealer's death not been confirmed yet?

Translation: ""Has the Fire Thief Walker's death not been confirmed yet?""

Vei furrowed her brows, and an ominous premonition rose within her.

Translation: "Wei frowned, and an ominous premonition welled up."

If even Wandi's strike couldn't kill it completely, she couldn't think of any other way to destroy it utterly. But surviving that attack shows its strength is likely not inferior to Wandi's—in fact, it might even be greater.

Translation: "If even Wandi's strike couldn't kill it completely, she really couldn't think of any other means to utterly destroy it. But surviving that attack shows its strength is likely not below Wandi's… no, perhaps even greater."

Generally speaking, in Piltover, when faced with a prisoner whose life or death is unknown, if no corpse fragments are found at the explosion site, they are presumed dead. Caitlyn said, holding a water‑soaked rag, wiping her sniper rifle as she spoke, the clear lenses gradually clearing up. "Although the fire‑stealer isn't an ordinary criminal, its strength probably isn't far above Wandi's—otherwise it wouldn't have fought evenly with everyone and then been hit squarely by his shot."

Translation: ""Generally speaking, in Piiertewofu, when facing a prisoner whose life or death is unknown, if no corpse fragments are found at the explosion site, they are deemed dead." Caitlin said, holding a water-soaked rag in her hand, wiping her sniper rifle as she spoke, the clear lenses gradually becoming bright, "Although the Fire Thief Walker is no ordinary criminal, its strength shouldn't exceed Wandi's by much, otherwise it wouldn't have fought evenly with everyone and then been hit squarely by his shot.""

Ha, that's true… If he had overwhelming power from the start, why not use it right away? Vei couldn't think of any reason for the fire‑stealer to hide its strength; the black tide and the golden heirs should have been immortal from the beginning.

Translation: ""Ha, that's true… if he had overwhelming power from the start, why not use it right away?" Wei really couldn't think of any reason for the Fire Thief Walker to hide its strength; Heichi and the Golden Descendants should have been mortal enemies from the beginning."

So, I'm more inclined to believe it's already dead. But, as Bai'e said, this matter isn't over.

Translation: ""So I'm more inclined to believe it's already dead. But, as Bai'e said, this matter isn't over.""

Caitlyn lifted her gaze to the sky, looking at Bai'e's forlorn, lonely silhouette. "…If our guess is correct, the fire‑stealer is likely a creation of the black tide, specially designed to counter the golden heirs, displaying extraordinarily complex abilities—it can absorb the fire seed and possess combat power surpassing the golden heirs—no one can guarantee that the black tide couldn't create a second such monster."

Translation: "Caitlin lifted her gaze, looking at Bai'e's rather forlorn and lonely silhouette against the sky, "…If our guess is correct, the Fire Thief Walker is likely a creation of Heichi, specially aimed at the Golden Descendants, displaying extraordinarily complex abilities—it can absorb fire seeds and possesses combat power surpassing the Golden Descendants—no one can guarantee that Heichi couldn't create a second such monster.""

So, Little Cake, you think the key to the problem still lies with the Fire‑Seeking Journey; we must complete the collection of the fire seed before the black tide creates a second fire‑stealer.

Translation: ""So, little cake, you think the crux of the problem still lies with the Fire Pursuit Journey; we must complete the collection of fire seeds before Heichi creates a second Fire Thief Walker.""

Note "Little Cake" is a nickname maybe "Little Cake". It's a term of endearment; not a name; we translate as "little cake". Could be a nickname for a character; but it's not a proper name; we translate meaning.

Hmm. Caitlyn nodded solemnly, "If we can't collect it fully, we must uncover the black tide's secret—for millennia, the people of Ulfrath have known too little about this disaster. If we could give a fragment of a black tide monster or the fire‑stealer's body to Lady Black Tower, she might be able to analyze the black tide's nature, which for the golden heirs could be the greatest aid against it."

Translation: ""Hmm." Caitlin nodded solemnly, "If we can't collect them fully, we must uncover Heichi's secret—for thousands of years, the Weng Faluos people's understanding of this disaster has been truly scant. If we could give a fragment of a Heichi monster or the Fire Thief Walker's body to the Black Tower Lady, she might be able to analyze Heichi's nature, which for the Golden Descendants could be the greatest aid against Heichi.""

"But that doesn't matter. Pain can be healed, scars cannot, and they shouldn't be erased. Even with the power of Oluonisi, the past will leave traces in the blind spots of our sight." Wandi said calmly, "Even if you kill the black‑clad person, can the loss in your heart be wiped away? Impossible. Revenge is merely a task that must be completed, but no one can gain spiritual fulfillment through it."

Translation: """That doesn't matter. Pain can be healed, but scars cannot, nor should they be erased. Even with the power of Oronis, the past would still leave traces in the blind spots of vision." Wandi said lightly, "Even if you slay the black-clad person, could the loss in your heart be wiped clean? Impossible. Revenge is merely a task that must be fulfilled, but no one can gain spiritual satisfaction from it.""

Note "Oluonisi" is a name? Likely a deity name; we should romanize it as "Oluonisi". It's a name (god). So we keep as "Oluonisi". Not in glossary; we add to glossary later.

Wandi slowly walked up to Bai'e, patting his shoulder: "Look ahead. Chew up and swallow your past; don't let emptiness and bitterness become the only flavor you know. Don't forget, there's an entire world behind you waiting to be saved."

Translation: "Wandi slowly approached Bai'e and patted his shoulder: "Look ahead. Chew up and swallow your past; don't let emptiness and bitterness become the only flavor you know. Don't forget, an entire world awaits salvation behind you.""

Bai'e turned to look at the elderly strolling in the sunlight, at the children playing and darting through the alleys… he gave a solemn nod.

Translation: "Bai'e turned to watch the elderly strolling in the sunlight, the children playing and darting through the alleys… he solemnly nodded:"

"I will keep it in my heart."

Translation: """I will keep it in my heart.""

"My final request: take care of the Spear‑wardens' warriors for me. As they integrate into Ohma, they will surely face resistance… my only regret is that I cannot share this time with them." Wandi shook his head regretfully.

Translation: """My final request: take care of Xuanfeng's warriors for me. As they integrate into Aohema, they will surely face resistance… my only regret is being unable to share this time with them." Wandi shook his head regretfully."

"Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll actually go check with them to see if their dictionary really is missing that many words."

Translation: """Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll go check with them to see if the Xuanfeng people's dictionary really is missing so many words.""

"Hmph, the Spear‑wardens' philosophy has never been shown through a dictionary." Wandi gave a light chuckle, that smile fleeting, eventually becoming a lone silhouette. "But… if we get a chance in the next life, come visit my library and read more."

Translation: """Hmph, the philosophy of the Xuanfeng people has never been displayed in a dictionary." Wandi gave a light chuckle, but that smile vanished instantly, turning into a lone silhouette, "But… if there's a chance in the next life, come to my library and read more.""

As he spoke, Wandi halted his steps, slightly turning his head: "... Right. One last question."

Translation: "Saying that, Wandi halted his departing steps, slightly turned his head: "…Right. One last question.""

"Ask away, don't leave any regrets."

Translation: """Ask away, don't leave any regrets.""

"Tell me, is the person who possesses that signet ring of Hatonus you?"

Translation: """Tell the person who possesses that signet ring, Hatuonusu, that it's you, right?""

"Well…"

Translation: """Well…""

Bai'e pressed his lips into a smile, lifted his head, and walked resolutely toward the holy city.

Translation: "Bai'e pressed his lips into a smile, lifted his head, and strode resolutely toward the Holy City."

"Who knows?"

Translation: """Who knows?""

Miss Kaguya wants me to confess my love.

Translation: "Miss Kaguya Wants Me to Confess."

Wait…! Let me think… What does 'if we get a chance in the next life' even mean? Is that right? Did we just promise the next life? Can't we get a chance to fulfill this promise in this life?

Translation: ""Wait…! Let me think… what does 'if there's a chance in the next life' mean? Is that right? Did we just promise the next life? Can't we get a chance to fulfill this promise in this life?""

Don't say such a heavy‑hearted promise in such a soft, casual tone!

Translation: ""Don't say such a heavy-hearted promise in a soft, everyday tone!""

Shiho was practically dying of anxiety; those words made his heart race, that light‑hearted sentence felt like a heavy stone pressing on his chest, leaving him breathless.

Translation: "Shishou was practically about to die of anxiety; hearing those words made his heart panic, this light sentence like a heavy stone pressing on his chest, actually making him unable to catch his breath for a moment."

He lifted his head and saw Fujiwara‑senpai secretly wiping away tears, his voice choking off in sobs.

Translation: "He raised his head, only to see Fujiwara-senpai already secretly wiping tears, her voice choking off in sobs."

The problem is, whether the Fire‑Seeking Journey succeeds or fails, it's all about the next life—if they succeed, they'll recreate the world; if they fail, they'll all die together. Moreover… their mission in this life is far too heavy; there's nothing we can do, so we can only cling to a faint hope of promising the next life.

Translation: ""The problem is, whether the Fire Pursuit Journey wins or loses, it's all about the next life—if they succeed, it's the Recreation of the World; if they fail, we all die together. Moreover… their mission in this life is too heavy, there's really no choice but to cling to a faint hope and promise the next life…"

If possible, I truly hope their next life doesn't involve them being princes or saviors of Spear‑warden City; just being a pair of snarky classmates in the schoolyard would be nice.

Translation: ""If possible, I truly hope their next life doesn't involve being princes of Xuanfeng City or saviors; just being a pair of mutually sniping classmates in the arboretum would be fine."

Too bad there are no 'ifs'… Baiyin Yuxing sighed deeply, "... For those living in the apocalypse, having a happy, ordinary life like regular people might be the greatest luxury they could hope for."

Translation: ""Too bad there's no 'if'…" Ginny Mikado sighed deeply, "…For those living in the apocalypse, to have a happy, ordinary life like regular people might be the greatest luxury.""

Note "Baiyin Yuxing" is a person name; we romanize it as "Baiyin Yuxing". It's a name.

「「……」」

Translation: ""「……」" Actually it's three Chinese quotation marks with ellipsis inside? The line is 「「……」」? Actually line 【38】 is 「「……」」? The given line: 【38】 「「……」」? Let's check: The text shows:

【38】 「「……」」

That is a pair of Chinese quotation marks containing three dots? Actually it's 「「……」」? The content is three dots inside quotes. We'll translate as ""……""? Probably we keep as ""……""? We'll output: ""……""? But we need to keep the quotes. We'll output: ""……""? Let's just output: ""……""? Actually we need to preserve the meaning: it's silence. We'll output: ""……""? I'll output: ""……"" (double quotes with three dots). So line: ""……""? Wait we need outer quotes? The Chinese line is 「「……」」 meaning the spoken line is "……". So we translate to ""……""? We'll do: ""……"".

"Ha… ha…"

Translation: """Ha…ha…""

"Stand up, child! You fought bravely; today's training ends here." Gorgeo said.

Translation: """Stand up, kid! You fought bravely; today's training ends here." Geerge said."

"Yes, Mother."

Translation: """Yes, Mother.""

"Mother… I have something I want to ask."

Translation: """Mother… I have a question.""

Gorgeo gave a small smile: "What's up, Madeimos?"

Translation: "Geerge gave a faint smile: "What's up, Maidemos?""

The young boy's eyes held an undisguised confusion and puzzlement; this question had lingered in his mind for a long time: "Why are we born to learn combat?"

Translation: "The young boy's eyes held undisguised bewilderment and confusion; this question had lingered in his mind for a long time: "Why are we born to learn combat?""

"For honor, child. Spear‑wardens are born knowing swords and spears; the battlefield is our home……" Gorgeo said matter‑of‑factly.

Translation: """For honor, child. Xuanfeng people know swords and spears from birth; the battlefield is our home…" Geerge said matter-of-factly."

Wandi's gaze remained fixed, his youthful voice maturing at this moment: "Really? Is that so, Mother?"

Translation: "Wandi's gaze remained fixed, his childish voice maturing at this moment: "Really, Mother?""

"Why are you asking that?"

Translation: """Why ask that?""

"Because you sound unsure."

Translation: """Because you sound unsure.""

"Mother suddenly laughed: "…You're right, Maidemos. I once blindly believed those words, until your father threw you into the Nether Sea. Only then did I realize that everything I believed in was fragile. Perhaps the Spirit of the Hanging Blade truly existed… but as the flower of greed blossomed, it withered along with our glory.""
