The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 371
372 – Time to Hunt
A subordinate approached Cormo, who was drinking.
“Rocyu gave the compass as a gift to the woman who acted as his agent for the bet.”
“under. “You chose a woman over me, so Roku was also a man.”
As Kormo laughed as if it were absurd, the subordinate said.
“When I checked, there was a compass attached to the woman’s belt.”
Kormo burst out laughing at his subordinate’s words.
“I’m glad you haven’t reported it yet. I will get a compass and be able to return the humiliation to the woman who humiliated me several times over.”
Kormo said, picking up the decisive spear.
“Okay, take the lead. “As soon as I finish work, I leave Ludwig.”
At Cormo’s words, his subordinates stood up.

Cormo entered the hotel following his subordinates who had cleaned up the first floor lobby of the hotel. Except for one hotel manager, all the staff and guests were dead bodies rolling around on the floor.
“Did you figure it out?”
Kormo, who was stretching on top of the woman’s corpse and stepping on her soft breasts, asked. The subordinate who was skinning the manager’s face with a dagger stopped his hand and asked for the location of the target.
“Blue eyes, blonde hair. “Where does the woman who came with a similar-looking man and has an unusual gait due to physical discomfort stay?”
When he raised the skin of his face with the blade of his dagger and asked, the manager shouted, unable to bear the excruciating pain.
“Ugh… 5th floor! “It’s in the royal suite on the 5th floor!”
When Cormo gestured, the subordinate cut the manager’s throat with a dagger and called an elevator.
Cormo’s men, heading straight to the 5th floor, broke down the door and entered the room without the slightest hesitation. The interior was full of darkness as the lights were not turned on. There were curtains on the windows and there was no moonlight.
Cormo, who was standing behind his subordinate who was fumbling around the wall looking for a light, instinctively thrust his spear forward out of the moment of fear he felt.
Sigh!
The neck of the subordinate standing in front of Cormo was pierced by the blade of the spear, and fresh blood sprayed into the air. Kormo, who had prepared in advance, was able to block the spear blade that cut through the darkness.
“Spearmaster… ?”
Before they could react, spear blades protruding from the darkness continued to pierce the heads and necks of Cormo’s men. Due to limited visibility and spear blades suddenly protruding from walls or squares, Cormo’s men, the infamous so-called human hunters, soon all fell to the ground in a pool of blood.
“… “Were you expecting an attack?”
After making a quick decision, Cormo pulled back. Cormo, who only fights on battlefields where he has the advantage, was not willing to take unnecessary risks to obtain his compass. Cormo returned to the elevator and pressed the call button, but there was no response from the elevator.
“Did you take out the magic stone?”
As soon as Kormo finished speaking, Ludwig’s guards came up the stairs and filled the hallway. Kormo, who was scratching his forehead, burst into laughter.
“It looks like you were planning to hunt me from the beginning.”
After assessing the situation, Cormo moved his head left and right to remember the structure of the hallway. Cormo, stretching the corners of his mouth and holding his spear briefly, rushed towards the guard standing in front.
The guards calmly prepared for battle. He raised his shield to cover his body and blocked the spear blade, then strengthened his sword hand so that he could immediately counterattack and waited for Cormo.
Taang-!
The blade of the spear touched the shield. However, the shock transmitted from the shield was weaker than expected. Kormo did not strike the shield with all his might, but intentionally relaxed his force so that the spear blade could pass through the shield.
Kormo avoided the guard’s sword by shifting his center of gravity and twisting his body, then swung his spear and cut the guard’s leg. Instead of finishing off the guard, who lost his balance as his body staggered for a moment, Cormo continued to move.
Every time Kormo swung his spear with a movement that was close to an art, blood spurted out from the legs and arms of the guards who had been cut by Wolah. Soon, all the guards filling the hallway fell to the floor and groaned.
Surprisingly, not many people died. Cormo, who prioritized running away, chose to go straight down the stairs rather than waste time finishing off the inconsequential guards. Cormo fought again with the group of guards who were climbing the stairs, but of course Cormo was the winner.
When Cormo arrived at the hotel lobby on the first floor and was about to catch his breath and leave the hotel, a strange-looking masked figure blocked his path. Kor Mo looked at the black spear in his hand, raised one corner of his mouth and said.
“You are the one who killed my subordinate.”
While saying that, Cormo glanced around and realized that the hotel was surrounded by guards and knights. He could see no way out. It seemed that the magical energy in the window had activated the hotel’s security magic to prevent anyone from going out.
“Is Krahel trying to turn the church into an enemy?”
Cormo raised his head for a moment and looked at the ceiling of the lobby. He grabbed the Spear of Decision and shouted.
“If you’re a man, don’t hide and come forward proudly, Roku!”
Kormo thought that if Rokyu showed up, he could use the Decisive Spear’s ability [Battlefield] to kill Rokyu and somehow create an escape route. It’s not that he doesn’t have confidence in the fight. No matter how many opponents there were, Cormo was able to create a 1:1 situation with his abilities.
However, despite Kormo’s provocation, Rocyu never showed up. Kormo had no choice but to activate the [Battlefield] ability against the opponent in front of him. He intended to deal with the opponent in front of him first before anyone intervened.
“Please state your name, spearman. “I am Kormo of the decisive battle, who holds the 7th position in Confsion, the unit under the cult leader’s direct command.”
Kormo spoke while aiming his spear, and the masked being responded.
“My name is Ross. He is the one who will kill you again.”
“… ?”
Cormo, who was questioning Ross’s words, momentarily bent down to avoid the spear blade coming from behind. Cormo, who had not taken his eyes off Ross, noticed that part of the black window had disappeared beyond space.
“Space magic… “You were the apostle the religious leader was looking for.”
Instead of answering, Cormo dodged the spear blade aimed at the side and rushed forward, realizing that there was no distance limit to the opponent.
Every time Kormo moved his feet, the blade of the spear stabbed in from an impossible angle. It was a light attack that was more like a deterrent simply trying to block access, but the attacks aimed at the defenseless back, sides, and thighs were things that the victim had to pay close attention to.
Kormo stopped breathing, tilted his body, and narrowly avoided the spear blade. Even though my strides were shorter and my running speed was lower than usual, I was able to quickly close the distance without stopping.
As soon as they got within range where each other’s spears could pierce the nape of each other’s necks, they swung their spears without even thinking about who was first. Sparks fly in the air. Unlike Ross, who maintained his balance by supporting his body with his back foot, Cormo, who used his speed to shift his center of gravity forward, made continuous movements and stuck out his front foot to hit Walla.
Kang!
Ross counterattacked by pulling back his leg that had been extended forward and holding his spear short while simultaneously dodging Cormo’s attack. Cormo stopped his downward swing and quickly turned his body. After avoiding the surprise counterattack, Cormo twisted his spear with his forearm and took another attacking stance.
Kormo slightly relaxed his grip on the spear and intentionally let the spear tip slip into his palm, then grabbed the spear and swung it with all his might. Because the spear’s range momentarily increased, the attack, which should not have reached him, reached Ross.
No, it just seemed to have reached Cormo’s eyes. Cormo’s spear blade cut Cormo’s forearm in reverse thanks to Ross’ space magic. If Cormo, who instinctively sensed that his hand felt strange, had not stopped his attack, his arm would have been cut off.
In just one breath, Cormo, who had suffered a wound on his arm, exhaled and gathered all his magical power. He realized that this was an opponent on whom he should not spare any effort.
Cormo kicked the ground hard with his left foot and thrust his spear forward, using the magical energy he had raised to shoot out lightning. He decided that he would not be able to respond to the anomalous attack. But Ross seemed to have read Cormo’s move and instead bent his knees and turned to the side as if he was about to lunge.
Kwaaang!
The flash of lightning moving in a straight line could not catch up with Ross. Kormo, who had his eyes fixed on Ross, was trying to avoid the flash of light and swung his spear without delay at Ross, who had entered Walla’s range.
Ross took a leap. Because he swung the spear widely with the intention of cutting through Ross’ waist, Cormo’s center of gravity shifted to one side. However, the fact that his body is floating in the air means that he cannot avoid the attack. Cormo, who took advantage of his lopsided center of gravity to rotate his body, poured all his magic and strength into the spear and swung it wildly in the direction where Ross was.
Wedge!
Along with the sound of the wind cutting, I could not feel anything from the tip of the spear. At that moment, a popping sound was heard in Cormo’s ears. A momentary gap that inevitably occurs when you rotate your body. In that split-second moment when he was out of Kormo’s sight, Ross took advantage of space, used the shadow spear as a stepping stone, and leapt once more in the air to avoid the attack.
Cormo desperately tried to retrieve the spear, even twisting his muscles… .
Phew!
Ross materialized the Spear of Shadow in the air again and pierced Cormo’s head with a simple movement.
