I cut sharp roots, dodged gusts of wind and parried blows with axes.
I came too close to the boar itself and it spoke.
—If you really are the one who will save me, prove it by saving me from myself…
—What, and exactly how was I right, but I'm ready!
I knew that if I came too close, the chance of using Harakiri would be activated.
Nemmorino suddenly changed his stance like a puppet controlled by the roots and abruptly thrust an axe into himself.
I understood everything at once Oh hell, so you decided to use the last one after all Harakiri!
When Nemmorino tried to do Harakiri and take me with him, I thought that everything was over and I would not have time to put on a collar, but suddenly from the shadows says Zikei as a true samurai and snatches from my mouth [ Nemmorino Collar ] and puts on Nemorino, but this does not cancel the effect of the skill.
I abruptly throw Zikei to the side and use the skill [ Aura Separation]
The weapon is enveloped in a green aura similar to hands at this moment the second axe that was supposed to pierce me rests against the daggers protected by the aura.
I beat them off, but at the right moment sparks and poison spread across the impact zone and the swamp explodes with an acid storm, at this moment I get all the poison damage dripping from the wounds of Nemmorino. While beating off physical attacks.

For a moment, I exhale in the dark silence.
"Is it just me, or did I just feel a rush of adrenaline? It was as if my pulse had just reached 190"
[ You have placed the Nemmorino Collar on its owner.
—Although I was not in my own health or consciousness, it was a pleasure to fight someone as unique as myself.
—Was that a compliment from Nemmorino?
[ Nemmorino's collar] glowed golden, but nothing changed as the creature began to dissolve into green pixelated smoke.
—Oh, I think Maraina will see me soon!
Apparently, Nemmorino's character had a reason for saying that. Perhaps it was intentional, or perhaps not, but in the next moment, he revealed a bitter truth.
—You all wanted to save me, but unfortunately, it was too late. The mutagen had seeped into me so deeply that I died before I could live.
The Fourth Apostil, the Swamp Boar Nemmorino, was so happy, even though he was decomposing, that he began to smile sincerely at all of us, and his eyes were as human as they could be. As Nemmorino's body dissolved, new ghostly figures began to appear.
—Unfortunately, I was not honored enough to fight you, as I have been dead for a long time. My piglet did not mean to harm me, but what happened was inevitable.
Zikey was sweetly looking at the ghost of Maraina, who was holding a small pink pig sleeping in her arms, but unfortunately he couldn't touch them since they were game ghost.
— Could you please keep these items safe, I think I can trust you. They will help you find the answers, and please never give them to Absolute Night…
I asked the ghost of Maraina what absolute Night was, but the ghost of the girl stopped smiling for a moment.
—Not what, but Who! There are rumors that he's involved in all the changes that are happening here, but now you need to find out for yourself, and don't give him these items.

[ The Fourth Apostil - Nemmorino the Swamp Boar has been defeated ]
You have completed the unique offer "The Song of Lost Friendship with the Piglet."
—Hey, Akah-32, why are you crying?
—Elk, you're crying too, why are you all crying?
Zikei was completely confused when he saw that after completing the unique offer, all three of us started crying except for Zikei.
—Because we're alive-y-y!
—No, it's not over yet, I can feel it!
—What are you talking about?
[Attention, as a result of defeating Apostle, you are honored to remove your portraits from the wanted list of Disava and Zikei]
[ The story campaign of the world "Log Apofis" has moved forward ]
—I've been talking about this, the Coyote Guild will be very angry...
—But isn't that great? We won't be on the wanted list anymore, and we won't be hunted.
—Yes, that's wonderful, but now the last thing we need to do is quickly leave this dungeon, as there's a 100% chance that they're waiting for us to deal with them, and they won't back down.
—Then let's come up with a plan!
