The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 204



205 – Junction

Ilia, who had been watching Ellie at Roel’s request, secretly summoned Roel when the atmosphere between Ross and Ellie became unusual.

An empty classroom window overlooking the backyard. Ilya looked sideways and cautiously asked Roel, who had been watching the entire conversation there.

“are you okay?”

Ilya was someone who didn’t like her own baby-like voice and didn’t open her mouth out of shame. Roel smiled softly as he heard her voice after a long time.

“Then of course it is.”

As Ilya looked at him blankly, as if trying to see through his true feelings, Roel smiled and spoke in a soft voice.

“Really. I knew how Ellie felt from the beginning. “Ellie is like me because she is greedy.”

When Ilya finally gave an expression of not understanding, Roel silently walked up to her and hugged her tightly. Ilya leaned her face on Roel’s shoulder, feeling the warmth.

“It’s okay. I, the greedy person that you are, love all your flaws.”

Ellie’s cries could be heard through the window. Roel stretched the corners of her mouth, smiled brightly, and kissed Ilia’s small lips.

“No need to worry. Because it’s really okay. Rather, Ellie must have learned a big lesson from this incident. “Sometimes she has to be broken to create something new.”

Let Roel say that in a sincere voice. Ilya wasn’t convinced, but she reluctantly nodded her head.

“… “Maybe I’ll like Ross more now.”

However, Ilya could not understand the meaning of the muttering.

■■▣

The second basement level of Transcendence Academy in the ruined imperial capital ‘Kalabhem’. The place where the last survivors of this disaster-stricken world were hiding was none other than the room of the Messiah Club. Because the club room was moved between the cracks to avoid the disaster, the wall collapsed and the closet no longer functioned, but the magic installed here hid us from the gaze of the disaster.

A familiar message in the status window appears in my shaking vision.

「Synchronization rate 7%… … .」

“caution! The synchronization rate continues to drop.”

I sighed and sat down in the chair, feeling my chest being tight. My colleagues are rushing around making final preparations, but right now, there’s nothing I can do but sit and wait. He raised his hand and pushed back the black hair that covered his eyes.

I want to ask someone how it happened, but there is no one who can explain clearly anymore. Is everything determined by inevitability, or is it a coincidence created by probability? I couldn’t find the answer in the end.

With a light sigh, I stroked the spear draped over my shoulder. It is a behavior that has become a habit. [World Tree Window] made using the dried roots of the World Tree. At the end of it was an acorn that Luna had carved sometime ago.

It was engraved with the meaning of not losing your way. Whenever I lost direction, Luna, who used to tell me the way forward like a compass, is no longer in this world. In the end, I failed to protect her like I swore. After losing Luna, she has been painfully aware of how worthless my words are.

Those who should die lived, and those who should not die died. Maybe this is the world’s oldest truth that we only finally realized.

I still don’t even know why God made me possessed by Ross, a person with an inferiority complex. At first glance, the god who passed by between dimensions just asks me empty questions, like always, asking me to realize my true nature.

As I was stroking the acorns engraved on the window and thinking about Luna for a moment, Rakar approached me with hurried footsteps. Rakar, whose body was more than half tainted by chaos, turned one side of his body into a magical engineering machine.

“Captain, Aria said she’s ready.”

Those words took me out of my thoughts. He got out of his chair and followed Lakar to where Aria was. Aria, who had installed the hundreds of thousands of Luna’s last magic scrolls on the wall, raised her head and was inspecting her magic on the ceiling.

“how is it?”

Aria, who had lost her emotions at my question, looked at me over her shoulder. Her Arya eyes were her dead eyes that had been losing life ever since Kane died.

“… “So far, everything goes according to plan.”

The person who answered my question was Eunice, who was using a box in the corner as a desk. Aria doesn’t answer anymore. Even though I knew that, I always kept talking without giving up. She may be a doll who has lost her identity, but she is clearly Aria.

Eunice placed the cubes on the box and was still checking the variables of the plan. He is a proud example of a wise man who reads the situation without giving up until the end. If it weren’t for her plan, even surviving like this would have been impossible.

Eunice was recruited as a counselor. Maybe that’s the best thing I’ve ever done.

Navier’s father, Raelan, is helping Eunice on the other side of Eunice, who is narrowing her eyes trying hard to find a clue to the secret to victory. Now his body has become considerably lighter, and only his head is above the bowl.

“The odds are the same. “A hopeless situation in which only the slightest possibility exists.”

Raelan, who spoke pessimistically, turned his eyes and looked at me. Although their souls were bound and loyal to me, there was still a clear madness in their eyes.

“In the end, our plan only depends on the variable called you. Cough. “I don’t know if you can really call this a plan or something.”

There were no opposing opinions to Raelan’s words. Maybe everyone is thinking the same thing in their heads. But there is no giving up for us. The freedom to choose to give up has already been taken away for a long time.

“I will make it. For everyone who has been looking forward to this day… . “You must do it.”

He spat it out, as if shaking something off. There were so many sacrifices. Our precious colleagues and countless nameless students and soldiers who sacrificed their lives to protect us. Their deaths are engraved in my soul.

Rakar smiled bitterly and took off his top. The tattoos drawn on the half of his upper body were glowing red in response to magical power. Aria, standing next to Rakar, looked at me with her eyes wide open and took out her staff. I nodded with a faint smile.

Eunice let out a deep sigh and picked up the bowl containing Raelan’s head.

“Yes, nothing will change if we postpone it any longer. “Let’s all get ready.”

At Eunice’s words, I took off the robe that was covering my body. Hundreds of artifacts hidden behind robes are revealed. Raising her left arm, which had been withered and twisted by her curse, she playfully waved her hand at Aria, who was looking at me blankly. As expected, she had no reaction.

I took a deep breath and said.

“Okay, let’s call him out.”

Thinking that it was the last time, I unconsciously stroked the oath ring.

—

[Ring of the Covenant]

―A ring imbued with the power of the covenant ‘Geas’.

Although it is a magical restraint and curse, the shrewd Geass gives great power.

◆ Current oath

– Repay Ellie’s faith.

– My love for Luna will never change.

– Keep your promise to the saint.

– Kill the plague.

◇ Current restrictions

– Loses most of his abilities while failing to repay Ellie’s trust.

– If your love for Luna changes, you die.

– Promise with a saint / If a way is not found within 4 years, death will occur. / Remaining time: 01:02:11.

– Cannot be attacked by anything except disaster.

—

I waved my hand to erase the message. Taking her cue, Aria swings her staff and pulls out the stake that was driven into her inner heart. With a sharp pain, she feels as if a torrent of emotions that she had blocked are bursting out.

A bug that had been a parasite its entire life detected its host. Just with that alone, it feels like the air around me has changed.

“It’s coming.”

Raelan on the bowl spoke briefly. It’s a voice mixed with slight fear.

A huge presence is felt overhead. The disaster that destroyed this world has now descended upon this place.

The one who broke the ceiling and appeared in the club room was a disaster dressed in pure white clothes like a priest. The pure white wings on his back made his existence even more divine. Their mere presence is enough to distort the space around them. Those who called him a god were one, and those who called him a disaster were all here last.

The light that illuminates everything hidden in the shadows of darkness has finally revealed itself.

“What, you were in a place like this. “I’ve been looking for it for a while.”

All my emotions explode and I roar violently at the sight of Calamity smiling softly, as if happy to see me. Old anger, a sense of inferiority, and a desire for revenge for everyone he could not protect become a driving force that has no limits.

“Roel―――!!!!!”

Kill you, we survive.

The World Tree’s window emits a dark light of destruction. Hundreds of artifacts move the stopped heart with enormous magical power. Rakar’s twin swords burst into flames, and Aria uses giant magic. Eunice and Raelan pour magical energy into the magic scroll on the wall.

In this place where enormous magical power that could destroy the world many times over is gathered, Roel, who cannot feel any emotions, simply smiles whitely as if he is happy. That smile was, as always, a bright smile full of sincerity.

Roel’s obsidian-like eyes sparkle. A golden magical energy emanates from the surrounding area, as if overflowing.

“Everyone, let’s become one with me.”

The world cries out violently for the last time in a huge collision. Everything that exists responds to that cry.

in the end—.

In a destroyed world, only light exists.

A girl whose entire body is bound by chains imprinted with various runes moves the only body she is allowed to do.

“You had a hard time… . “Now get some rest.”

Although it was deep underground where no one could hear her voice, the girl truly comforted someone. And I made a promise to the world.

“I found the turning point. The possibility has risen again. Let’s try it in a different direction this time. To find the right ending… “We never give up.”

Waiting for that moment when it would be her turn someday, the girl closed her eyes again and looked at the countless records she had left behind.

Because that was the fate given to him.
