The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 333



334 – Things to throw away

I was taken aback when the saintess suddenly said that she would destroy the covenant ring. It was thanks to the Oath Ring that her immediate magic problem was solved.

The synergy between Berserker and Indomitable Courage was a great help in the battle, and even continuing the battle was a valuable asset that saved my life several times. If I don’t have the Oath Ring, my power will drop drastically from what it is now.

It might be better to use the oath ring as much as possible during the remaining two months of life to maximize my strength and give the remaining people a chance to turn the tables. When I explained it carefully, the saintess looked at me with a pitiful expression and sighed.

“I knew from the beginning that the Covenant Ring was a double-edged sword… “Can’t you give up even in a dangerous situation that is aimed at your heart?”

I flinched at the saint’s sharp voice. The saint continued her words, perhaps intending to strike her as a follow-up.

“The destruction brought upon you by the Covenant Ring is a force similar in nature to fate. This means that there is a greater chance that probability will intervene to prevent you from reaching the conclusion you want. “For your true destruction.”

I realized my mistake after hearing the saint’s words. If it’s true destruction, I’m sure the story will go in a different direction than I want. Destruction was the biggest variable I had to avoid when reading the trends of the future.

The saintess looked at me and said.

“Many Loss from other worlds have become stronger in various ways. Even though you have more flaws than Ross in other worlds, you don’t have only shortcomings. He is a master who has the fraudulent ‘power’ of the setting book, which is a big data accumulated by Ross from the previous world. “You, the author who created this world, don’t think the only way to become stronger is through the covenant ring, right?”

I couldn’t refute the saintess’s gaze as if asking if she was sincere. Because what her saint said was right. The oath ring was just one of the many options I could choose from at the time among the many ways to become stronger.

When I think about it, at the time, I thought of the Covenant Ring as a consumable item that was a passing step for growth. This means that it is not something to be obsessed with to the point of being afraid of losing it.

It seems that the easy benefits I have gained by using the Oath Ring have made me think that the Oath Ring is a necessary item. Perhaps that is the ‘redemption’ the saint spoke of.

Is he kind, or is he born with the qualities of a luxurious person? The saint continued to explain why I should give up the covenant ring.

“It doesn’t end just by stopping for a moment. Rather, it can be preparation for a higher jump or a brief rest that allows you to run faster.”

The saint’s words brought to mind what Roel had said to me. That every time she loses something of herself, she becomes stronger. Even if I lose all my strengths by giving up the oath ring, this could be an opportunity to become stronger than I am now.

I asked after a pause, pretending to be trying not to give the impression that I was easily persuaded.

“If I destroy the covenant ring, will my shortened lifespan come back?”

“No, just destroying the Covenant Ring is not enough to completely avoid the destruction that has come upon you.”

“Not enough?”

At my question, the saintess narrowed her eyes and glanced at me slightly.

“of course. A cursed object with the power to destroy the user… “You have one more.”

I realized what the saint was talking about. She is talking about the Spear of Destruction stored in the space warehouse. Estelle had also warned that it was a cursed object that would lead its owner to destruction.

Do we really have to give up the Spear of Destruction? If I lost even the most powerful weapon I had, I really had very few things left. Even my resolve to give up the covenant ring began to waver.

As if she sensed my concerns, the saint opened her mouth.

“The power of destruction cannot overcome chaos. The Spear of Doom is more useless to you than the Ring of Covenant. “There is absolutely no need to feel so regretful.”

Even if you persuade them that way, it is not easy for the parties concerned to believe you.

“… “How can you be sure?”

When I asked a little weakly, the saintess sighed proudly.

“Because the cult leader has already completely obtained the power of destruction.”

“The cult leader has the power of destruction… ?”

This was information that did not appear in the novel. It seems that the cult leader discovered that he could use the power of destruction through the records left in the Akashic Records.

“Because there is no way that a religious leader who fully accepts chaos would not understand the destruction that is similar to chaos.”

The saint’s explanation brought a flash of light to my mind. I think I understand why the cult leader can use the power of destruction. Probability clearly played a role.

The Spear of Destruction was a weapon of enormous value, one of the most valuable weapons in the world just for its unique abilities. The Spear of Destruction can be said to be the only weapon in this world that possesses the power of destruction to destroy magic and barriers.

Frankly, it makes no sense for a cult leader to hand over something so great to his subordinate, Confsion, without using it. It’s a twist on a similar cliche as a hero lending a holy sword to a thief in the same party.

So, if the possibility of creating a plausible story works, it will allow the cult leader to use the power of destruction, thereby eliminating the twisted cliché by creating a reason for the cult leader to not need the Spear of Destruction.

I am not a fool who would throw away an opportunity to save my life just because I regret having a useful tool. The power of destruction did not work on Confsion, who used the power of chaos. If you cannot fight against the cult leader even by increasing the power of destruction, giving up the Spear of Destruction quickly is the right choice.

After finishing organizing my thoughts, I immediately took out the Spear of Destruction from the space warehouse and handed it to the saint. There was not even a moment of suspicion in her mind that the saint was deceiving me. There is no such thing as a special setting that says she doesn’t lie.

It was simply because the saint was the one who believed that Ross of Hope, who had read up to this moment, would keep his promise to her. On the other hand, I was confident that a saint who was on God’s side to save the world would have no reason to deceive me, her last hope.

The sight of the saintess holding the Ring of Pledge in one hand and the Spear of Destruction in the other gave me a strange feeling. Should I say that something suits him better than me? I smiled bitterly without realizing it.

“I’ll get rid of it before the regret gets bigger.”

The saint who said that skillfully raised the power of destruction. She then placed the red-turned blade of the Spear of Destruction against the Ring of Covenant on her other palm.

At that moment, dark red smoke billowed from the covenant ring with tremendous force and enveloped the saint. She was embarrassed and tried to approach the saint, but the saint, hidden in dark red smoke, stopped me with a voice that seemed like nothing had happened.

“It’s okay, I’m watching.”

Bright light emanated from the saint’s body and cut through the dark red smoke. The smoke pushed by the light suddenly changed into the shape of a chain. The chain was connected to me.

When I lowered my head, I saw a chain tightly surrounding my body. Is this the redemption the saint spoke of? At that moment, without warning, my body began to be pulled towards the ring.

Even if I tried to strengthen my legs, I was helplessly dragged along. It was a scary feeling, as if it was trying to suck my body into the ring. Just before I reached the dark red smoke surrounding the saint, pure white light cleared the dark red smoke and enveloped my body.

A strong light pouring in from the front along with a cozy and warm energy made me close my eyes without realizing it. I felt the chains surrounding my body losing their strength and falling down. Along with that, I felt a cool feeling on the top of my head.

It feels like all the things that were filling up my mind have disappeared and a bigger space has been created. At the same time, all the memories of Ellie that had been sleeping at the bottom of my mind came to mind.

My heart started pounding. It is not because of the feelings in the memory of Ellie, but because the mysterious puzzle that had been empty for so long has finally found its place. Thanks to this, I can see the outline of a huge picture that I have never seen before.

I found a continuous flow. Methods that only Ellie could do came to mind.

When the strong light that hurt my eyes disappeared and I regained my sight, I realized too late that the saint was hugging me tightly.

“W-what is it?”

“… “There was nothing I could do because it was dangerous.”

I scratched the back of my head at the sight of the saintess reacting after a long time, as if she had been contemplating an answer.

“I think it’s over for now. “It was easier than I thought.”

When I first obtained the Ring of Oath, it was such a dangerous item that I would face death if I did not find a way to get rid of the Stonethorn Disease within the period. Even though it was said to be destroyed, I didn’t expect it to be destroyed so easily.

“Because the Covenant Ring was also created with the power of God. If the power is of the same nature, it can be easily destroyed. Well, I did use the power of destruction a little bit.”

It seems that she rested because she was a saint who could use the power of God. If I had simply tried to use the power of destruction to destroy the Ring of Oath, the dark red smoke might have dragged me into the ring.

I nodded, lowered my gaze slightly, looked straight into the eyes of the saintess who was still hugging me tightly, and said with a laugh.

“… Are you going to keep hugging her?”

“Oh, it’s nothing special, I forgot.”

The saint shrugged her shoulders as if it was nothing, released her embrace, opened her palm, and showed the covenant ring that had been completely destroyed, leaving only its shape.

“The destruction that was approaching you lost its power and disappeared due to the intervention of the saint. That would be enough for probability.”

Certainly, if that level of probability were to be found, I would nod my head. Among the characters in a novel, there are few who are as special as a saint.
