The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 272



273 – It wasn’t unique

After Ellie disappeared and I was standing there dumbfounded, I finally came to my senses and headed to the nearby sofa. I lifted my wrist as if looking at a clock, checked the status of the runes once again, and briefly thought about what I should do with the remaining time.

I don’t know what’s going on outside. Since the novel ‘The Hero’s Harem Has No Choice but to Win’ is told from the perspective of the main character, Roel, there is no need to think about what fight Ellie, who remained at the academy, had to fight.

Just after Bella’s sacrifice. He simply wrote, ‘The capital collapsed, and Ellie, who barely survived, desperately fought the devil until Roel defeated the devil lord in Liberty Plain, humanity’s last cordon.’

The reason why Ellie, who became an archmage, did not participate in Roel’s warrior party is simple. This is because her character of Ellie overlapped with Flavia’s existing position. Flavia, who has infinite magical power, and Jueli, the Black Magic Tower who unites all her elements. Since you can’t have two characters in the wizard position, one of you had to leave the warrior party.

Excluding Flavia, who was with Roel from the beginning, I thought that adding Ellie, the heroine who joined late, to the hero’s party would be good for readers to beat up on the keyboard, so instead of removing Ellie from the hero’s party, I gave her strong strength and gave her the role of holding on from the rear. It will.

Perhaps the world decided that that was not enough, and the reason why Ellie stayed at the academy seems to have been changed to guilt and longing for Ross. It almost makes me think that the author might be better than me when it comes to probability.

Probability is a device that plausibly continues the flow, not its role in disrupting the flow. In other words, Ellie fleeing to Liberty City with her wounds is a future that will happen. Although it bothers Ellie to get hurt, she can move on to her original world with peace of mind in the definitive future that she will not die.

As I was taking a moment to sort out in my head what I had experienced in the other world and decide what to do when I returned to the original world, I suddenly heard a huge roar coming from somewhere.

The entire room vibrates, books on the bookshelf fall to the floor, the wall collapses, and something pushes into the room. The installed magic works to block the intrusion, and as a result, the ceiling and floor are distorted and the structure of the room suddenly collapses.

I hurriedly hid under the desk to avoid falling debris, and only after a while was I able to crawl out from under the desk. I can still feel the vibration beneath my feet. Did the academy building collapse? Perhaps the academy building collapsed in the aftermath of Bella’s alliance with the cult leader. It was powerful enough to blow up the capital, so even the academy building would not have been able to withstand it.

It seemed like he survived thanks to the secret room acting as a bomb shelter. I looked around with a sigh of relief and soon discovered a strange phenomenon. The area where the wall existed in the room had turned black, as if the color had been taken away. It looks as if the remnants of the next room that was pushed in and the wall are mixed together.

As I approached this phenomenon for the first time, I picked up a book that was rolling around on the floor and placed it on the black spot. Strangely enough, seeing this for the first time, I felt something familiar. The red book was seen to lose its color as soon as it entered the black area.

I looked at it curiously and tried to remove the book to see if it would return to its original state. It was as if something was holding the book tightly, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get it out at all. However, unlike removing books from the black area, there was no resistance to inserting more books. Is this a condition where it is possible to invade the area, but impossible to escape?

It was a good thing I didn’t put my hand in it hastily. It seemed like a temporary phenomenon caused by a collision between magics. After scratching my head for a moment, I looked at where the door was. That place is also a black area. All the walls had collapsed, so there was no way out. The closet is also broken, so you won’t be able to go anywhere else. It didn’t seem like a bad idea to stay here until the runes on my wrist turned green.

After scratching my head for a moment, I discovered that the book I had inserted into the black area that was suspended in the air had turned completely black. The black area is slowly but gradually expanding.

Feeling strange, I tried to read the spatial coordinates of the black area. But I couldn’t read it. There are no spatial coordinates in the black area that exists before our eyes. I feel like déjà vu. I’ve had a similar experience to this. The experience of spatial coordinates collapsing during the fight with Dwin.

Does it have something to do with the unspoken? I scratched my chin and thought about it, but I just couldn’t figure it out. Anyway, over time, the entire room will turn black. Realizing that I couldn’t stay here, I looked around to find a way out of the room. The black area existed as if surrounded. It appears that it was formed in a location where a wall used to exist. The only way to get out of this place was through the collapsed ceiling.

I took out a bag of seeds from the space warehouse. The idea was to grow the beanstalk rapidly and break through the ceiling. The entire ceiling could fall to the floor due to impact, so just in case, the ceiling except for the drilled areas was supported by several beanstalks.

I safely cleared the ceiling as planned and climbed up the beanstalk. Since the secret room is on the second basement floor, I thought I would arrive at the first basement floor of the main building. Because the building had collapsed, there were only collapsed walls and debris, so it was impossible to distinguish between floors.

Somehow, I was able to break through the path blocked by the beanstalk and finally find a small light. They came out of the building through a hole that was barely large enough for one person to escape. It was only after I came out that I realized that the place where I came out used to be a window. The academy’s main building had collapsed beyond recognition.

I sighed in relief at the thought that I had escaped safely, but suddenly felt a huge shadow cover my body and hurriedly turned around. And without realizing it, I couldn’t help but take a breath.

What was in front of me was the devil.

A huge presence that seems to be weighing down my entire body. The monster, which was over 5 meters tall and whose entire body was covered with muscles, smiled evilly. Blood was running down his chin, and there were several pieces of flesh I didn’t want to know were stuck in his teeth. The weeds growing on the ground are affected by the deadly force emitted, causing them to wither rapidly.

“Aang? “What are you?”

You have to take out the window. If I don’t kill it with a single strike, not with the Spear of Shadow, but with the Spear of Destruction, I will die. That thought crossed my mind, but strangely enough, my hand didn’t move. It’s not that I’m intimidated by fear. I can’t move my hand carelessly because I’m convinced that my head will be ripped off the moment I move it.

I bit my lip and looked at him in silence, and the monster narrowed his eyes as if he didn’t like my silence.

“You are asking why you are here when you should be trapped in the basement of the Demon King’s Castle and awaiting execution. Dantalion.”

What are you talking about… ? Dantalion? I think the monster mistook me for someone else. When you speak up, you may notice a difference in your voice. As I was wondering if there was a way to continue the misunderstanding, I left it to luck, kept my expression silent, and just shrugged my shoulders.

“Hmph, you cheeky b*stard. In the end, did you convince the devil with just three inches of your tongue? Hehehe. “I thought you would definitely die this time, no matter how much you are favored by the Demon King.”

The monster laughed loudly and brought what it was holding to its mouth. It was only after it let out a loud scream that I realized it was a person. She is a female student wearing Transcendence Academy’s school uniform. She said the monster tore into her female student’s torso with her teeth as if eating a chicken skewer. The screams stop. Her intestines and blood pour down on the floor like rain. The monster gnawed at her mouth, and she expertly spat it out, all covered in her spit and blood.

“Get out of here. This is already my area. “If even one person eats it without my permission, I will rip out their entire stomach and chew it up.”

While saying that, I turned around, suppressing nausea as I saw the monster pouring the remaining lower part of its body into its mouth. I felt fierce eyes staring behind me, but I pretended like nothing happened and just walked forward blindly until the gaze disappeared.

When the gaze finally disappeared, I quickly crawled to a corner and retched. Since I came to this world and ate nothing, I had nothing to vomit. After spitting out yellow gastric juice, I took out water from the space storage room, drank it, and thought about the situation from a little while ago.

The monster sees me as Dantalion. However, Dantalion does not appear anywhere in the novel. According to the monster, the real Dantalion seems to be trapped in the basement of the Devil’s Castle. Being trapped in the basement of the Demon King’s Castle means that Dantalion is not a person, but a devil. It seems that because he was trapped underground, he was unable to follow the Demon King to the human world.

Was it just luck? I felt something uneasy. The probability that a demon that resembles my face exists by chance is not very high. If this is not just luck, but probability… ?

Suddenly, a loud noise was heard from somewhere. A wave of magic passed through me like the wind. It’s a familiar magic power. Elida. A female student whose upper body was torn off by a monster moments ago brushes her head. Before I knew it, I took out the Spear of Destruction and ran blindly in the direction where Ellie was. It was an action based on instinct rather than thought.

Ellie was standing alone, staggering, in the vacant lot of the academy. The surrounding area is filled with countless corpses of demons. But even more demons were surrounding Eli. As I gritted my teeth and ran, grabbing her spear with the intention of breaking through the siege, a demon sensed my approach and turned around.

I read the spatial coordinates around me and prepared to fight by drawing out the power of destruction, but for some reason, the devil who found me seemed to have no intention of stopping me. No, on the contrary, he even moved out of the way so that I could pass by.

Could it be that this guy also thinks I am Dantalion?

As I cautiously took a step forward, the demon who had avoided the spot tapped the shoulder of the demon whose back was turned. The devil looked back with a nervous look, saw my face, and slowly opened the road as if he had never seen me like that before. As I took a step, it repeated and the path to Ellie opened.

I don’t know what’s going on, but I just ran straight to Ellie. Ellie was trying to swing her staff, gathering her magic power, but when I jumped out from between her demons, she quickly stopped her staff and glared at me. Ellie looked at me with narrowed eyes, then opened her mouth and asked with her stupid face.

“Wow, the magic power is connected. It’s not an illusion, it’s Jin, it’s the real Ross… ? Nonsense, nonsensical… I thought I was dead… .”

I approached Ellie, who was muttering to herself like a crazy person. With just a quick look, she could see that Ellie’s injuries were serious. Her school uniform is torn in several places, and her abdomen is bleeding enough to wet her skirt. A piece of flesh had been torn from her right arm, leaving her clumsy left hand holding her wand.

And one of the obsidian-like eyes looking at me had turned white and seemed to be unable to function. Although I was worried about Ellie’s condition, she didn’t know if the demons would attack at any moment. There was just one puzzle missing to solve the situation. I was guessing what it was.

I asked, looking straight at Ellie.

“Ellie, when exactly did I die in this world?”

Ellie looked embarrassed by my out-of-context question, but instead of asking a question, she immediately gave me the answer I wanted.

“… The day the triathlon started. “He died at the hands of Roel.”

The prediction was correct. Ellie’s words forced me to change the thoughts I had taken for granted. I thought this was a year before the ending of the original in the first world. A world that follows the flow of the novel, but has a different time axis.

So I thought that the death of Ross that Lycan had mentioned was the same death as in the novel.

But that thought was wrong. In the novel, Ross dies before the end of the first semester of first grade. However, Ross here died in the triathlon after finishing the first semester and entering the second semester.

That difference is the essence of the uncomfortable feeling of discomfort I felt.

The puzzles in my head become one. Clues come together to create a conclusion.

The goosebumps running up my back make my brain feel numb.

Just as I became Lily, who did not appear in the novel, Ross here became Dantalion.

I muttered what I realized to Ellie, who was looking at me blankly.

“The Ross of this world changed the original flow… “Just like I’ve been doing all this time.”

This world’s Ross, who twisted the flow of the novel and became Dantalion… Like me, you know the trend of ‘The hero’s harem has no choice but to win.’

It was a possessor.
