The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 414
415 – Cassis
I covered Ellie, who was catching her breath, with my body and created a window of shadow. Cassis didn’t come after Lily, but no matter what, it doesn’t change the fact that we are enemies seeking each other’s lives.
As I concentrated my concentration so that I could immediately respond to Cassis’ movements, I glanced sideways at Estelle standing next to him. Estelle, who is restricted from resisting the church, will not be able to refuse Cassis’ orders. Even if Estelle doesn’t want to, he has no choice but to follow the order to kill us.
In that case, it is right for me to deal with Cassis and put Estelle and Ellie together. With those two, they can safely bide their time by fighting a battle that poses enough threat to each other. In order for it to work, there is a prerequisite that I must make Cassis’ gaze completely focused on me and not on Estelle and Ellie.
So then we have no choice but to go all out from the beginning?
All surrounding spatial coordinates were recognized. There is no ‘space’ between the island that appears in the sea and my island that I cannot attack. Cassis’ ability to lead the Legion of the Dead would not be a good match for me, who specializes in dealing with ‘the majority’.
“Lily, I have a proposition for you.”
However, rather than choosing a battle, Cassis seemed to want to talk first. The more time he takes, the more he helps Ellie recover her magic power. I deliberately took a pause before answering.
“… “What kind of proposal is this?”
“The leader recognized you, the only space wizard, as an apostle appointed by him. So he gave orders to guide the apostle politely so that he could return to the church.”
“… “I’m an apostle?”
“okay. It is your role as an apostle to have the undeniable destiny to open closed doors for Him.”
As Cassis spoke in a monotonous voice as if explaining an obvious truth, I had no idea where to start to refute. Perhaps they have forgotten that Lily goes around killing people related to the church.
“The church wants your return. No one in the church will attack you or accuse you of sin. “Because the religious leader wants you, Lily.”
“For someone who makes such a suggestion, he appears quite aggressive.”
Cassis shrugged his shoulders and said to my sharp question.
“I didn’t know it was your island because it was under the sea. I was just planning to devour the island I could see. “Just think you were unlucky.”
Ellie gently patted my back. It appears that he has recovered his magic power to some extent. I said to Cassis as I felt Ellie resting her shoulder next to me.
“If you agree to that proposal, do you plan to back out of here?”
Cassis snorted at my question.
“It seems like it would be a foolish thing to give freedom to someone who can escape at any time with space magic.”
A huge book appeared in front of Cassis, radiating ominousness around it.
“Being bound and dragged away without resisting, or having your body divided into several pieces and then being treated by the church. “Those two are your options.”
“Why are you leaving out the option of killing you and absorbing the island?”
Kaaang!
The skeleton knight that popped out of the book raised his shield and blocked the surprise attack aimed at Cassis’ head.
Cassis spoke leisurely, twisting one corner of his mouth.
“Because I didn’t know you were a fool who said impossible things.”
As soon as Cassis finished speaking, all kinds of evil things appeared from the island’s numerous holes. Some were completely skeletons and some were corpses with rotten flesh still clinging to them. They probably used them to increase the weight of the island, causing it to sink into the sea.
To prevent Cassis from finding out Ellie’s identity, I called her by something other than her name.
“Strawberry, you take charge of the woman. “I’ll take care of Cassis.”
Ellie, who is quick-witted, was not embarrassed when she heard the word strawberry and answered.
“… Lily, are you okay? The opponent is Confsion, who leads the army. “Wouldn’t it be better for me to deal with the legions with synthetic magic?”
“It’s okay, if the opponent is simply outnumbered… “Because it could make it impossible for you to even access my island.”
When I showed my confidence, Ellie didn’t ask any more questions and opened the distance and fell to the side. Cassis also seemed to want to deal with me alone, so he gestured to Estelle and ordered her to deal with Ellie.
“Then, let’s check your skills.”
When Cassis tilted his hand, numerous enemies jumped into the sea in an instant. Taking a moment to catch my breath, I spread his magic throughout my body and created numerous dimensional exits. There is only one entrance for the spear to stick through, but dozens of exits for the spear to pop out.
By reaching the realm of the transcendent, I was able to gain many things. Through the quantum jump, not only did I melt and absorb all of the spear talent that remained in my head as a form, but I also obtained the magic amplification that I had been trying to imprint on my brain all at once.
Thanks to this, my magical power increased as a reward from the magical elixir and labyrinth I had consumed. With the addition of magical power amplification, more spatial magic can be used than before.
Shuuuk!
The head of a corpse approaching the island was pierced by a spear of shadow. It’s not like it used to be that he could just pierce one head from a distance. Spears that simultaneously protruded from more than a dozen dimensional exits pierced the heads of the incoming enemies at the same time.
That was the beginning. After pouring out endless barrage strikes towards the entrance to the dimension, Cassis’s legion fell into the sea, and before he could even approach the island, his head was pierced and he began to sink into the sea.
Fuuuck!
At the same time, the head-piercing sound echoed as one, creating a vibration throughout the island.
When I reached the realm of the transcendental, I completely understood the weaponry and weaponry of the spear and felt as if I had become one with it. At the same time as he pierced the spear, he adjusted the spatial coordinates and increased the shape of the spear to dozens so that the shadow spear could appear at the exit of dozens of dimensions at the same time, accurately piercing the enemy’s head.
It’s not that difficult. Rather, with each successive attack, his skill increased. Now, there were more enemies sinking into the sea than endlessly jumping from the island into the sea. Finally, the exit of the dimension, which was advancing further and further, pushing away enemies approaching the island, reached the island of Cassis.
As if pulverizing the jumping enemy in the air, numerous spear blades came out from the exit of the dimension and flooded all over the place. Nevertheless, the enemy continued to escape from the hole on the island and jump into the sea, but I continued to defeat the enemy without showing any sign of fatigue.
“Whoo, whoo.”
Even breathing is stable. Since I was just repeatedly stabbing the spear into the entrance to the dimension, I didn’t feel any physical fatigue.
As Cassis waved his hand in the air, perhaps realizing that it was no longer pointless to blindly draw out the legions, enemies no longer poured out from the hole in the island.
“… My countless subordinates can barely even get close to me. Is he an apostle? “I can’t believe you defeated 10,000 people so easily.”
I twitched one corner of my mouth as I looked straight at Cassis, who was glaring at me with displeasure at the situation.
“I just needed materials to grow the island… Thanks to you, I got a lot. thanks. “For helping me.”
Cassis frowned at my provocation, then stretched the corners of his mouth and laughed quietly.
“Thank you… Rather, I think that’s what I should say to you, who gifted me with the highest quality ingredients.”
“… ?”
“If we have to deal with quality, not quantity… Yes, there is nothing like it.”
Cassis’s arms were crossed in front of the book. The pages of the book turned randomly, and something reached out from the book. Cassis grabbed the arm that looked as if it was made up of multi-colored flesh and took it out of the book.
The core of chaos lodged in the center of the chest was not even half human… The remaining faces were so familiar to me that I recognized them at a glance.
“Nell… “Sun.”
The well-maintained beard he proudly stroked was gone, and his skin was disfigured with burns. There was something else wriggling where her eyes should have been, and something bug-like had come out of her mouth to replace her tongue. Her arms had increased to four, and her lower body was replaced by an unknown monster.
“The cult leader mercifully gifted me the corpse of an archmage. Even though only part of it remained, the cult leader knew that I was the one who could put Nelson’s body to better use than anyone else. Hehehehehe!!!”
Cassis leaned his upper body forward and smiled broadly.
“Controlling the corpse of an archmage has been a long-standing dream of mine since I was a child. So, of course, I would like to thank you for causing Nelson’s death and the foolish student who fell into the trap-”
Kwaaang!
“… Mouth.”
The attack was blocked by the transparent membrane created by Nelson, but I, who had crossed over to Cassis’ island using space magic, glared straight into Cassis’s eyes and warned him.
“Close your mouth before I rip your mouth open.”
“Oh no, Nelson’s mouth is already torn apart.”
As soon as Cassis’ taunts ended, I used my intangible breath to swing the spear with all my might. Then, a staff appeared in Nelson’s four hands, and an enormous amount of magical power rushed towards me.
Kwaaa!
A tremendous tremor and an explosion-like roar swept through the entire island of Cassis.
