The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 363
364 – Uniqueness
Everyone nodded positively with admiration at Ellie’s idea of forcibly causing magical depletion to make it impossible for immortals to be resurrected. But Raelan was of the opposite opinion.
“It’s a viable plan. But how do you plan to cause magical power depletion?”
When Raelan asked in a low, cold voice, Ellie, who was happy, wiped the smile from her mouth and muttered.
“You can do it by using magic power using appropriate magic.”
Raelan twitched one corner of his mouth at Ellie’s answer.
“Including citizens and tourists, there will be about 1.4 million people in Ludwig. If even one of them does not experience depletion of magical power, the immortal will be resurrected through a host and disappear from the crowd of citizens. “We have no way to track down the resurrected immortals, so they just have to wait for their magic depletion to resolve and then fight us again.”
As Raelan pointed out, Ellie’s method had the condition that all citizens with Ludwig’s magical power must experience magic depletion. As if she hadn’t thought about that, Ellie moaned softly and bit her lip.
“but… .”
“Rather than causing magical depletion to everyone in the city at the same time, don’t you think it would be more realistic to spray Ludwig with poison and kill all living things?”
Eunice helped Ellie, who was cornered by Raelan’s ridicule.
“I think spraying poison is also an unrealistic method.”
“right. “The problem will be where to get the poison to fill the huge city nicknamed the City of Joy.”
Raelan, who had shrugged his shoulders and accepted Eunice’s criticism, looked at everyone with cold eyes and said.
“So you presented a realistic plan from the beginning. A reasonable way to gather the northern soldiers, blockade Ludwig, and kill them all. “There is no poison to fill Ludwig, but there is enough poison in the Perlkus family’s warehouse to distribute to the magical-powered soldiers of the North.”
After Raelan finished speaking, there was silence for a long time. As Raelan acknowledges his opponent, he has completely changed his tone, demonstrating the shortcomings of the method and at the same time making his own opinion more persuasive. Raelan drove a wedge here.
“I’m disappointed. Those who gathered to save the world are hesitating like this with only one city. In particular, Eunice, someone who is considered a tactician who read the situation, is hesitating to give up her hand to prevent a greater sacrifice when the entire continent is in danger?”
“that… .”
“Our enemy Roel attacked the imperial palace and even killed the emperor for his own purposes. Thanks to our lord who risked his life to travel to another world and find out its secrets, we finally got the last chance to save the world… “Can we afford to hesitate over the deaths of only 1.4 million people?”
When Raelan slowly turned his head to everyone and asked for an answer with a glance, everyone lowered their gaze. Raelan stopped looking at me and looked straight at me and said.
“Our enemies will do anything to win. “At least we have to put in that much effort to fight in the same position.”
Estelle and Lamine, who remained neutral to Raelan’s words, agreed with Raelan’s opinion, which was more realistic than Ellie’s idea of causing magical depletion in the entire city.
I silently headed towards the portable blackboard as I saw Eunice holding her face in self-blame and Ellie sighing with a look of grudging acceptance. Then he asked without turning around.
“Ellie, how were you planning to cause the magic depletion phenomenon?”
“… I tried to use synthesis magic. “If you continuously use a combination of magic that requires magic power and curse magic that steals the opponent’s magic power and forces you to use it, it could cause magic power depletion.”
I turned and looked at Ellie. Ellie, catching my gaze, shrugged her shoulders as if sensing her coldness.
“How many people can be depleted of mana by using synthesis magic?”
“There is no set number of people. Because curse magic involves everyone within the specified range of the spell… I think it’s usually around 20 people. “The number may vary depending on which magic you choose.”
Raelan snorted at Ellie’s weak answer.
“It’s not enough to cause magic depletion in 1.4 million people.”
Ellie frowned and glared at Raelan, but Raelan ignored Ellie’s gaze as if it was natural and spoke to me.
“Why are you questioning a method that is not realistic? Are you reluctant to kill innocent people? Or could it be that the hope I received from the saint has once again become a shackle that prevents my lord from acting rationally?”
I turned away again without responding to Raelan’s question. From the author’s perspective, this is a problem that can be easily solved.
I slowly raised my hand and placed it under the large letters written in the corner of the blackboard. Ellie, who was watching my actions, spoke in a puzzled voice.
“Great forest… ?”
After looking over my shoulder and seeing that everyone’s eyes were focused on my hand, I slowly lowered my hand and stopped at the word World Tree written underneath it.
“I plan to use this opportunity to tie the two stories together.”
“… !”
Everyone looked at me with surprised faces at the sudden declaration. I turned diagonally and continued my explanation.
“Even if we eliminate the immortal Roman, the story of the Great Forest will not end. Even if the emperor is dead, the elves will not stop his plan to root the world tree in this world.”
“If there were no immortals, wouldn’t it be good for us if the world tree took root in the great forest? “You can fill the vacancy of the Fairy King.”
I shook my head at Ellie’s question.
“In order for the world tree to take root, an enormous amount of life force or magic power is needed. So, the Emperor and the Great Elder created a huge magic spell throughout the Great Forest and attempted to use the three nearby cities as nourishment for the World Tree.”
“Well, that…” .”
When Ellie was speechless and trailed off, Raelan twitched the corners of his mouth and spoke.
“Hoo, are you saying you’re going to use the World Tree to easily sort out Ludwig? Then it would be roughly similar. Even if it were a city near a forest, it wouldn’t have more than 500,000 people. If you do that, like I said, the two stories become one. Hehehe!!!”
Raelan laughed like crazy. I slowly shook my head at Raelan, who had a very satisfied expression on his face.
“We said our target was only the immortal Roman.”
“… What does that mean? “Didn’t you mean to sacrifice Ludwig using the World Tree?”
I looked at Raelan in silence. My gaze was tangled in the air. Even if he got my memories, it seems Raelan couldn’t read them because the perspectives are different.
“I wonder if Ross from another world has ever used that method?”
“… !”
Raelan was startled by my words. Ross, who became a slayer, killed Ludwig’s innocent citizens in one day to eliminate the immortal Roman. In order to end things quickly, there is also Ross who joined hands with the cult and took down the eastern border on his own.
There must be another Ross who easily eliminated Ludwig and eliminated the immortals using the World Tree. This is because it was an easy way to recall the artist’s true nature even without a mask.
I said.
“Our goals are two-fold. To eliminate Roel’s salvation plan by eliminating the immortals, and to persuade Roel to our side. In order to do that, as Eunice said, we must show Roel eliminating immortals in a way that has not been seen in other worlds.”
“… “The method of eliminating immortals using magical energy depletion may have already been used in other worlds.”
Eunice suddenly screamed at Raelan’s words.
“What kind of ugly thing is that? “You just said it was an unrealistic method, and now you’re saying it could have been used in another world!”
“Among the Rosses from other worlds, there are many who chose magic to avoid overlapping with Roel. Of course, isn’t it correct to assume that among them is Ross, who came up with the idea of mana depletion to eliminate immortals? “It was not Ellie who brought up the topic of mana depletion, but Ross first.”
Raelan is saying that what I think of can also come to mind in another world. That is correct. Ross in a certain world must have thought of mana depletion as a strategy for defeating immortals. But that doesn’t mean I’m wrong.
“Our method may be the first of its kind in the world.”
“Why?”
“Because this world is special, unlike other worlds.”
Raelan, who was silent for a moment in response to my answer, spoke.
“… “Are you talking about the resurrection of a discarded setting?”
“yes.”
“Hehe, did you forget? The world where Loss of Longing was located was also a world where discarded settings were revived. “The characteristic of reviving a discarded setting is not unique.”
“No, our world is unique. There may be a world where the flow of the story flows similarly, but there will be no world with the same flow anywhere.”
When I spoke with a confident voice, Raelan raised the corners of his mouth and asked, rather than feeling offended, as if he was curious about my confidence.
“Why?”
“Because I am there.”
Everyone’s eyes are focused on me. I spoke clearly again to everyone.
“He who can destroy all the bonds of other worlds… “Because there is only me in so many worlds.”
I am a copy created by God based on Ross’ numerous failures, and I can show the ending expected by Ross, the longing observer who watched everything from the edge of outer space… Because it was Ross who had the uniqueness of being the last.
