The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 347



348 – Possession

As I watched Nelson disappear like smoke, my legs lost strength and I fell to the floor. Mana is low.

Still, thanks to the newly learned space magic, I was able to create an unexpected variable and beat Nelson.

What defeated Nelson was an attack using dimensional leap, but it used a different method of dimensional leap than previously used.

Previously, I was directly sucked into a dimensional passage, but this was an attack that took place on my behalf by dimensional jumping the weapon.

Using the newly learned magic called [Space Occupation], I was able to recognize the weapon as the object of dimensional jump for a while.

Due to the nature of the dimensional jump, which flies in a straight line in a designated direction without the need to recognize spatial coordinates, no special controls were needed.

Space occupancy basically allowed an object to be fixed at any recognized spatial coordinate until the occupancy time was over.

To give a simple example, you can create a staircase to the sky by fixing scaffolding in the air.

Using this characteristic, it was possible to fix the Spear of Shadow, which was implemented as the object of dimensional jump.

The reason he threw more javelins at Nelson than usual was to prepare in advance to hide his dimensional jump.

Among the numerous spears that flew in, the one that disappeared right in front of their eyes was thought to be a consumable for a simple fake and was aimed at the unguarded… It’s like a trick of a trick.

The surrounding scenery disappeared as if melting away, and only one door remained. At first glance, it seemed as if he was telling me to open the door and go in, so I took a moment to catch my breath and then struggled to get up.

When I shook the dust off my body, opened the door, and entered, a cave-like passage appeared. There were many glowing stones embedded in the passage, so the path was not dark.

As I walked inside, smelling the cave’s unique damp smell, I found a treasure chest with a familiar design at the end of the passage. Somehow I felt a sense of déjà vu.

Not simply because the design was familiar, but because it reminded me of the treasure chest I found when practicing with Luna.

Sure enough, just like back then, there was a scroll inside, and when I opened it, something shining like a mirror reflected my face and said, ‘The experience I gained while coming here is a valuable reward!’ Could it be a repetition of the same vain ending?

Well, even with that ending, it was true that just having your skills improve significantly while challenging the room of trials was a valuable reward. There is no training that accumulates experience as quickly as learning while dying.

I masturbated like that and opened the treasure chest without any expectations.

“… ?”

Inside the treasure chest was something I had never seen before. I took the contents out of the box, placed them on the lid, and checked them closely.

At first I thought it contained a statue carved out of stone.

“What is this… ?”

The statue was shaped like a petrified egg of a round oval creature. The elaborate pattern and rough-looking surface texture on the egg’s surface caught my eye.

It was hard to tell if it was simply a realistically detailed stone carving or simply a petrified egg.

I checked the box again, but there was no manual included.

It looks like we need to hear an explanation of the compensation directly from Nelson.

Whatever it was, once the final reward was obtained, a door appeared that seemed to lead out of the room of trials. I was somehow thrilled by the normal way compared to how I had been dying and being thrown out.

I put the statue in the storage room and opened the door to escape the room of trials.

The next day, I received a call from Estelle and headed to Modest. It was a message that my colleagues who had dispersed for their respective missions had returned.

Arriving at Modest, we were guided by the ever-friendly Ember and headed to the spacious basement where Modest’s meetings were previously held.

“Welcome.”

Estelle, who was sitting at the head of the long table, was the first to welcome me.

As I raised my hand to say hello, I had no choice but to stop when I saw an unfamiliar face sitting at the table.

I can’t be confused. Because red hair like that is not common.

The person sitting next to Bella was Lakar’s older sister, Lamine.

“How did you get here…” .”

When I asked with a puzzled face, Lamine smiled and turned her head to Bella.

When I followed it with my gaze, Bella shrugged her shoulders as if it was no big deal.

“I just recruited Rakar’s older sister, Lamine, as my person. “Isn’t it a shame to let someone talented enough to become a concierge rot?”

As Bella, who has a strong desire for talent, it seems she used the memories she received from me to recruit Lamine as her person.

It was definitely Lamine who had such an excellent fighting sense that he put Roel in a difficult situation.

Even without the Spear of Destruction, there would be no one with this level of talent to take on the role of commander.

Bella rested her chin on the table and continued speaking, shifting her gaze as if glancing at Estelle.

“In addition, I took Estelle and Ember to the secret library of the imperial palace, which was of great help to Modest’s lack of information.”

As soon as Bella finished speaking, Estelle intervened in a harsh voice that was not normally heard.

“Oh my, a woman’s jealousy really can’t be ignored. Are you lacking information? “How do you think the best information guild in the world can lack information power?”

“Ha, so that didn’t help?”

“I received very little help. “There is nothing lacking in Modest!”

The way they snorted and turned their heads away from the other person almost at the same time looked perfect, as if they had planned it out beforehand.

I scratched my forehead and sat down in the empty seat next to Estelle. No sooner had I sat down than Raelan spoke in a cold voice across from me.

“I was roughly informed of the situation by Estelle. “She lost most of her powers to the saint.”

Seeing his glaring gaze, I touched my chin and spoke as if making an excuse.

“Well, it has been restored to some extent. “It’s a phone call.”

After I finished speaking, there was a subtle silence at the table.

The agents exchanged glances in silence, and finally Raelan nodded and opened his mouth.

“Can you show us your memories of meeting the saint?”

“If you show it all at once, the magic power will be enough.”

As Raelan requested, he immediately made a snow globe of his memory of meeting the saint and shared it with everyone.

The colleagues who received memories by placing their hands over the snow globe sighed as soon as they opened their eyes.

“We lost a lot, but I’m glad that Ross escaped the impending doom.”

Bella and Estelle nodded in agreement with Eunice’s words. Lamine, who had not received her memories, was busy trying to figure out the situation with a passing glance.

Raelan, who was lost in thought and frowning, asked.

“What did you mean by restoration to some extent?”

“I used quantum jump.”

“… what?”

Everyone looked at me with surprised faces at those words. They seem to have thought that I had not taken into account the biggest problem with Quantum Jump.

However, Raelan twitched one corner of his mouth with a cold face.

“I guess I finally found a way to disconnect from Roel.”

“… you’re right. “How did you know?”

“If you become stronger by using Quantum Jump, there is no way you wouldn’t know that Roel will also become stronger. “I don’t think you, who still feel inferior to Roel, will obediently do anything good for Roel.”

I sighed as I saw Raelan smiling wickedly while saying that.

“I thought that if Roel became stronger than now, the variables would grow out of control.”

“Yes, of course you will.”

Raelan, who had been listening to what I said, touched his chin and said.

“But how did you succeed? “I thought it was impossible right now.”

“I had help from Ellie.”

“Ha, does this mean that the great wizard of the future will be different?”

Then, as Raelan waved his hand as if it was obvious and asked me to pass on the related memories, I sighed and told everyone about my memories with Ellie in a snow globe. Excluding private conversations, of course.

“What you chose for this quantum jump is talent. I think it’s a good choice. “As Ross deduced, there are clearly traces of inducing someone to pick up a spear.”

I smiled at Eunice’s support, empowering my choice. Estelle followed suit and praised my choice.

“i think so too. The only thing that can be called an advantage is space magic. “It is right to focus on maximizing it.”

Bella didn’t seem to have anything else to say, but just lowered her gaze and was lost in thought, as if she was reliving a memory.

Raelan, who was the last to open his eyes, slightly tilted his head and said to me.

“It was a good thing that we recruited Ellie. Her magical knowledge will surely be of great help to us. Yes, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to recruit Roel’s other lovers as well.”

“Even other lovers?”

Raelan slowly nodded in response to my question.

“Considering the title of the novel, I think it would be best to attract Roel’s harem to our side. “Our goal is final victory.”

That makes sense. Flavia, a sorceress with infinite magical power, Rosaline, a genius in alchemy, and Illia, who has the same level of skill as Roel.

It was true that if they joined, it would be a great help to us.

However, Bella immediately opposed Raelan’s opinion.

“I am against it.”

“Why?”

“Because it’s too risky. Of course, it would be nice if the remaining three became our colleagues. But will Roel not notice our changes? “It’s not just one or two people, it’s all of them.”

It is possible. If Rosalind was not capable of lying to Roel, there was a high possibility that she would soon be found out by Roel and tell her everything.

And I didn’t feel the need to increase my colleagues right away. There is a saying that if there are many boatmen, the boat will go to the mountains.

Eunice, a tactician who reads the situation, nodded and opened her mouth as if agreeing with Bella’s opinion.

“I agree. If Roel finds out that everyone around him is trying to block his path… There is a high possibility that it will explode in a completely unexpected direction. “A person with a blind purpose has no hesitation in turning the tables on him to reach his goal.”

This is a situation where two secretaries are opposed. I turned to Raelan and looked to see if he had anything else to add.

“It is true that the risk is increasing. It’s not like we need their help right away. “It won’t be too late to recruit him later if necessary.”

I nodded as I saw Raelan taking a step back.
