The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 252



253 – Pierrot

From the moment I made eye contact with Jamie, who was above me, I instinctively sensed danger and used my magic. Thanks to this, I was able to barely escape the range by using intangibility almost at the same time as the explosion.

However, the people standing where I escaped were unable to avoid the explosion and their bodies exploded to death without even a brief scream. More than 100 people were swept away in an instant and died.

No, a few people on the outskirts survived. However, the appearance of the survivors was so terrible that some say they were lucky to have died instantly in the explosion.

His entire body was twisted, his body was torn apart, his flesh was tattered, and his bright pink organs were spilling out on the dirt, but his life did not end and he was only letting out endless moans of pain.

A playful voice rang out through the dark red blood fog created by the shattered flesh and blood.

“Wow, you’re quick as expected. Actually, I never expected to die from a bomb or something. Hehehehehe!”

The face of a clown suddenly emerged from the fog, the corners of its mouth elongated.

Jamie, who was sitting on the head of a man who was letting out a faint groan, jumped up from the spot in a playful gesture and popped his head. Then she lifts her shoes, which are covered in white brain matter, and speaks in an urgent voice.

“Emergency emergency! This is a critical patient! That blonde student over there! Please help me explode the heads of those still alive! Pain comes from the brain! You have to break your brain! Hehehe!”

I hear tinnitus in my left ear. A beeping sound echoes in my head like a high-pitched sound. This is because they were unable to completely escape the aftermath of the explosion.

Number 8 of the new Confsion, Jamie the Mad. This is a variable that does not appear in the novel, and is the one who tried to kill Luna. He had the urge to explode his head right away, but he maintained his rationality and calmly assessed the situation.

Confsion is a unit directly subordinate to the cult leader created to deal with the Transcendants of the Continent. His skills are barely comparable to those of a first-year academy combat club leader.

But there was no escape. This is a place where there is not even a tree to hide in. Turning your back and running away was no different from showing your heart to an enemy.

It is a carefully planned trap. Whether you bribed a wizard or manipulated the portal’s destination, you found yourself in a tightly designed web. The more I struggle to escape, the more the threads will stick to my body and tighten me.

I calmed my rough breathing. The difference in skill is clear, but that doesn’t mean it’s an opponent you can’t beat.

In the meantime, I have been training a lot. Although he could not reach the realm of the transcendental, the reason he stubbornly held up his spear despite people’s opposition and disregard was to prepare for situations like this.

This is because it was calculated that with the combination of the Spear of Destruction and space magic, in a one-on-one match, even if the opponent was a transcendental person, they could fight under similar conditions.

The use of space magic had been thoroughly hidden to avoid the eyes of the cult leader, but now was not the time to save numbers.

There is a risk of losing one’s physical freedom by allowing just one attack. From the beginning, I had to choose the best move I could.

Since you used space magic, you must kill Jamie here. If Jamie cannot be killed, Lily’s identity will be revealed and Estelle and her crew will be in danger.

Although I was in a situation where my back was at the edge of a cliff with no bottom in sight, I was able to pour everything I had into it.

[ Indomitable Courage is activated. ]

I took out the Spear of Destruction from the space warehouse. At the same time, all the surrounding spatial coordinates were recognized.

“… “I will kill you.”

Jamie, who had killed a girl by stomping on her head like a bug, heard me and twisted her neck at a bizarre angle to look at me behind her shoulder.

“Hehe, your reaction is cute.”

Jamie, who was laughing as if he was having fun, his eyes lit up. Suddenly something like a dot came into view. She didn’t realize it was a dagger until she reflexively struck it away.

I was momentarily blinded by the dagger that fell to the floor, and I lost sight of Jamie in front of me.

“I remember my girlfriend was pretty cute too. “Hehehe, unfortunately she didn’t get to cut off that beautiful hair.”

At the sound of a voice coming from behind, I turned my body and swung the spear containing the power of destruction.

does not exist.

No, Jamie must have been planning to swing the spear from the beginning, so he was lying on the floor out of reach of the attack.

The clown holding the dagger widens the corners of his mouth.

Deep!

Holding back the pain I felt in my left thigh, I scraped the floor with my right leg and hit the window at breakneck speed.

puck-!

I could feel that the attack had hit my head through the tickling sensation of my fingertips climbing up the window. With the sound of flesh exploding, organs, muscles, and bones flew past my body. A complacent thought crossed my mind that I was able to kill the enemy with a single blow thanks to the hot blood soaking my body and letting his guard down.

As if laughing at that thought, it pierced straight through the back and the front part of the dagger stuck out through the chest.

I was sobbing – the blood welling up my throat and running down my chin.

Jamie, who hugged my shoulders from behind, put his mouth close to my ear and whispered a playful voice.

“Ta-da! It was a trick! Haha, trickery is the basis of a clown!”

I stabbed the spear into the air as I felt Jamie’s body heat behind my back. All surrounding spatial coordinates have already been recognized. She adjusted her spatial magic so that the tip of her spear could reach my back.

Pow—!

This time, I felt the sensation of my head exploding through my fingertips. As I pushed away the arms of her weak, crumbling body, Jamie’s voice came from somewhere, as if it was natural.

“Wow… !!! Is this really space magic?! It’s a similar ability to that obnoxious woman I saw last time! This is an unexpected harvest! After all, I am lucky!”

I feel like my body is frozen by that voice. If it had not been for his indomitable courage, he might have trembled with fear.

Obviously I killed Jamie. The sensation under her fingertips made it clear that I had committed murder. That unpleasant sensation cannot be confused with anything else.

But Jamie is alive. The body lying in fragments on the floor and the body I could feel behind my ankles was clearly Jamie.

The survival instinct heats up the brain. There is no possibility that he was hallucinating. Indomitable courage is the fortress of reason. In the activated state, it was able to resist external hallucinatory effects.

Recalling the testimony I heard from Luna about the attack, I thought about the word ‘trick’ that Jamie had said.

“Head, give me that head! Hehehe!!!”

A voice came from behind again. But he didn’t turn around and fight back like before. Rather, he pulled the Spear of Destruction into his arms and ran towards the front where the blood mist was blooming.

As I penetrated the blood fog, I finally gained visibility. With perfect timing, my spear slightly twisted the trajectory of the dagger flying straight toward my head.

The tip of my ear was torn off by the dagger that flew out, but I definitely saw it with my own two eyes. Jamie, with her broken thread on her finger, was laughing in her blood. Maybe that’s the real Jamie I’m looking for.

The Jamie I killed was not an illusion, but a real person. The feeling of killing someone cannot be faked. The remaining traces of the body are also evidence that it is a person.

Then there is only one conclusion. I don’t know how, but Jamie is creating and manipulating an alter ego that resembles him. What I need to do is ignore the controlled clone and attack the main body directly.

Even though it is foggy, spatial coordinates can be recognized. I won’t miss it this time. He created a dimensional exit above Jamie’s head, and even used his intangible breath to stab a spear into the entrance of the dimension where the exit had been set up.

The spear with incredible speed and power pierces Jamie’s head and crushes his body into a piece of meat. She definitely killed it. And at the same time, the dagger was once again stuck in her right thigh.

Deep!

“Ugh… !”

“Kyahaha! “It was fake again!”

I adjusted the dimensional exit above Jamie’s head, who was talking like that, and exploded his head straight away. Again, her head exploded and her body fell to the floor, but Jamie’s creepy laughter could be heard from somewhere.

The wounds on my body continued to increase due to the surprise attack while my vision was limited due to the fog, but I was unable to block the attack because I was too slow to even react.

If you didn’t use intangibles, you couldn’t win in speed. However, the maximum use of intangibles per day is 3 times. I’ve already used intangibles twice today. The last remaining shot had to be used at the most certain moment. Among the things I learned from Lycan, the most important thing I heard was not to fight based on luck. You must design the most perfect moment to use your intangibility during battle.

But there is no time to think. You never know when a dagger might attack again. Once you have a plan in mind, you have no choice but to execute it immediately. It may be a wrong choice, but regret is only possible if you survive.

I grabbed the dagger stuck in my thigh and scraped it down with force. The wound opens wide and the bleeding becomes so severe that the open area cannot be seen. For a moment, my vision becomes blurry.

“Huh? Have you given up already? How could I have thought it would be so much worse than my girlfriend who resisted until the end! “Eng, tsk tsk!”

It’s not that I gave up. This is just a calculated action to meet the activation conditions.

In response to my will, my heart became hot and began to beat like crazy. The power of madness sweeps through every nerve in my body.

Endless hostility toward Jamie simmered in my heart. Inexplicable anger seethed in my heart, and an intense power began to spread through my body like heat.

Thanks to the Berserker effect, I gained the strength and speed I needed right away.

“Ah, after all, killing men isn’t fun. Hey, just die! Hehehe!”

The voice came from ahead, but the senses awakened by madness made the back of my neck stiffen. Although I couldn’t see it with the naked eye, I could clearly feel the presence of a dagger approaching from behind.

In an instant, he took a strong step with his left foot into the ground, twisted his upper body, and at the same time pulled out the dagger stuck in his thigh and swung it over his shoulder.

Kang!

The daggers meet in the air and sparks fly. I smiled evilly at Pierrot, who looked embarrassed.

“I finally caught up.”
