Chapter 116

End of an Era (時代の終わり, Jidai no Owari) is the 116th chapter of the Fumetsu no Anata e manga, and the last chapter of the Renril Arc.

Summary
The Beholder narrates that Fushi set towards his goal of covering the world with his vines leaving the Nokkers with nowhere to go. Fushi sat in his chair inside Booze Man's shop, appearing to be asleep. However, he wasn't asleep, he was deeply concentrating on spreading out his roots that all his body can do is breathe. The more he expanded himself, the more the senses around his body dulled, so much so that he couldn't even feel when March passed away by his side from a euthanasia drug.

Before Fushi started spreading his roots, he entrusted Cam to be his grave keeper. Cam told Gugu this and Gugu says he'll help him too.

Meanwhile, Cylira is furious to find out that Fushi was alive in Renril and is determined to kill him before the people find out. Kahaku, carrying a ton of gunpowder, arrives and offers to join forces with Cylira to end Fushi. Kahaku directs Cylira to melt all the iron in Ilsarita. Cylira asks Kahaku what his intentions are for joining them and leaving the Guardians but Kahaku tells them he hasn't quit the Guardians. Kahaku tells him that even if he dies, those of Hayase's blood with carry on the legacy. Cylira then suggests Kahaku came here to die as Cylira's guards shove Kahaku off the edge over the molten iron.

Kahaku flashes back to his childhood where he's outside his home playing ball with his Nokker arm. Young Kahaku overhears his family talking about how they're disappointed that his mother died at the same time she gave birth to a son. They speculate on if Kahaku is fit to be the sixth successor. Kahaku walks up to them and tearfully tells them he'll do his best even if he's not fit to be the sixth successor. A family member steps up and commands Kahaku to demonstrate his determination for as long as he lives and to swear that he'll give everything to Fushi.

In the present, Kahaku's Nokker quickly latches onto edge of the ledge. Kahaku says out loud "yes" to giving Fushi everything and cuts his arm off sending him falling down to the molten iron. As he falls, he tells Fushi he loves him. The gunpowder he was carrying sets off and explodes molten iron all over Cylira and his men.

A sea of new and lost forms flows into Fushi signalling to him Kahaku's and the Nokker's death. The Beholder comments that he has no way of knowing what Kahaku meant to him. Now that he's recovered all his lost forms, Fushi resurrects Bonchien in Uralis to the joy of Iris, Chabo, and Bonchien's family.

Tonari wrote a new legend of Fushi so that people won't be startled by any mysterious going-ons in the world. Those of faith believed the roots covering the world were the work of God protecting them. Hairo travelled the world visiting churches to spread Tonari's book. However, he soon fell to the anti-Fushi faction. Kai returned to the Uralis army and lived a normal life. Eventually passing to the same illness as his parents. Messar lived the rest of his life in vice before poisoning himself to death by unwholesome living. Tonari lived out the remainder of her life in Jananda surrounded by Sandel's descendents. As per her wishes, her remains were laid by Fushi's feet. Gugu spent his life helping Cam and his friends. After being heavily wounded in battle with the anti-Fushi faction he took himself out using the same method as March.

Bonchien lived to old age as the King's right-hand man. On his death bed, one of Fushi's vines loop around his hand and Bonchien comments that Fushi's going to stay with him for his final moments. Bonchien is surrounded by Torta, Fen, Nixon, Chabo, his grandson, and Iris all crying for him. Bonchien tells them not to be sad as he's going to go to a very happy place. He thanks them and says he'll never forget their faces and soon passes.

The time skips to Yanome in modern times. Yuki runs up to Mizuha, his senpai, and returns her forgotten hair tie to her. She ties it in her hair, smiles, and thanks him.
