The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 417
418 – The point of pain
I hugged the fallen Estelle into my arms. It’s light. Estelle, who had a small body, was very light. With vision distorted by tears, I took off Estelle’s cat mask.
“… “Roh, Ross.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. are you okay. “Keep, keep breathing.”
I opened the space warehouse and took out the potion inside. After removing the lid, I was at a loss as to where to start pouring the potion.
“… Ross, you idiot, you pig… .”
“That’s right, both fools and pigs are right. Keep talking. “Don’t stop!”

As Estelle’s voice grew weaker, I just poured the potion. Surprised that it was causing Estel more pain, he dropped the potion bottle from his hand.
“I, I am by your side. are you okay. It’s okay… .”
Estelle held my hand. Estelle slowly looked at me and smiled as usual.
“Please take care of my family.”
Estelle let out a light breath. At that moment, I could see something quickly disappearing from her eyes. To prevent Estelle from leaving my side, I held her tightly and whispered to her.
“I will. I’ll do anything, anything. Estel, don’t go. “I was wrong.”
My body temperature was rapidly cooling down, and I was so scared of Estelle, who did not respond, that my heart pounded as if it would drop. I couldn’t believe it, so I slowly pulled away and looked at Estelle again.
“Estelle.”
Purple eyes met mine, but they were not looking at me. No, I didn’t watch any of it again.
“Estelle, what are you doing? Just get up and get angry. I, I made a mistake. That I was wrong… Because you can swear. Just wake up. “Please.”
Tears dripped down Estelle’s face, but she didn’t get angry or blink like usual. No matter how much you touch her cheek, stroke her head, or shake her shoulder.
“The religious leader predicted that something ridiculous like this would happen. If you don’t know, before entering the labyrinth, he left a message to be careful of the book. Lily probably knows my secret. I did not ignore those precious words and immediately split my soul in two. “The book was made into two volumes.”
“… Estelle. Wait for Amber and Amy to come back. So, please look at me.”
“My strength was halved, but I did not die. Because the immortal Cassis is eternal!”
Cassis extended her hand to me, who was hugging Estelle. He said, raising one corner of his mouth.
“You shouldn’t foolishly hug a corpse in front of the person controlling it.”
I felt Estelle’s body swell while I was hugging her, but I couldn’t let her go. I heard Ellie’s urgent voice, but I just looked at Estelle.
“It’s okay—”
“pop.”
Kwaaa!
Estelle exploded in my arms. My vision soon became dark due to the huge shock I felt in my chest.
***
It was a world filled with black. Someone was screaming in a place where there were no objects or wind.
“Estelle, Estelle, Estelle!!!”
That voice was so familiar. Because it was my voice.
“I hate it, I hate it, I hate it… !!!”
When I saw him fall to the floor and cry as if he had lost everything, I went closer and grabbed his shoulder. As I was sobbing, I looked back at myself and begged.
“Stop, let’s stop. “How much more do I have to lose!!!”
“… shut up.”
“We lost Luna, we lost Nelson. And because of my mistake, I lost Estelle too… What next? Aria, Ellie? “I don’t like it, I don’t like it anymore!”
I screamed as he grabbed me by the collar, crying like a baby.
“Shut up!!! Luna, we have to save Luna. “Wake up, stand up now and fight!!!”
“I can’t do this anymore. I can’t do this anymore! Estelle, Estelle… !”
“Shut up and wake up! “Get up!”
Even though he tried to force me to hold him up, I couldn’t hold back the rising emotions as he shook off my hand and fell to the floor.
“You piece of trash!!! “Don’t give up here!!!”
At one point I was strangling myself. He screamed and strangled my neck as I couldn’t breathe.
“Get up and fight! Get to the 10th floor! Bring Luna back to life like you promised, you piece of trash!!!”
“Luna is dead. She’s dead! “Because of me, my existence will cause everyone to die!”
At those words, I tightened my grip on strangling him even more. Don’t be funny. Don’t give up. Even if I lose everything, I will definitely get to the 10th floor. I said that while looking straight at myself.
“Then you die like this.”
“Kek-kek!”
He pushed my face away and strangled me until the end, suppressing me with his body as I struggled to survive. There is no need for me to be this weak. For Luna, I would kill myself.
“We… “I’m sure he’ll kill Ellie too.”
I smiled bitterly at my words as he stopped struggling and eventually accepted death.
“I just need to save Luna.”
***
The moment Ellie witnessed Estelle’s corpse in Ross’s arms explode, she swung her staff at Cassis and ran straight to Ross. Her feet covered blood, flesh, yellow fat, and the scalp with her hair, but Ellie moved eagerly to find Ross in her smoke.
And finally, something touched Ellie’s toes. It was Ross’s body, with all her limbs gone, leaving only her masked upper body. Not only was his flesh completely torn off, his jaw was missing, and his internal organs were scattered outside. If her chest hadn’t been heaving, Ellie would have thought Ross was dead and she would have burst into tears.
“Hehe, if I adjusted my strength appropriately, I wouldn’t have died.”
When Estelle sent her magic again in the direction where the voice came from and looked at Ross again… A huge wave spread around Ross’ body.
thud—!
“… “This?”
I got goosebumps so much that my skin stung. It’s definitely a wave that I saw in Ross’ memory. Ellie hurriedly fell on Ross and created layers of defense around her.
thud—!
As if a heart was beating, waves radiated from Ross’ body, pushing away the smoke and the sea around the island. Cassis also noticed something was strange and hid behind his men.
“Pukkuk―――!”
‘I laughed… ?’
The moment Cassis narrowed his eyes, the body of the subordinate blocking his path was split in half. Through the crack, Cassis saw. An indescribable monster created by pure madness and chaos. For the first time in a very long time, a feeling of fear rose in Cassis’ mind.
“Laugh, don’t be funny!”
Denying it, Cassis waved his hand and controlled his subordinates. As soon as the Sword Master swung his sword, his upper and lower body separated and he rolled on the floor, and the legendary adventurer’s head was crushed.
The world’s greatest assassin, who cut space by looking for a gap, was caught by a hand that escaped from the cut space and disappeared somewhere. The countless corpses that came out of the book were all crushed, trampled, torn, and exploded.
“… Ah, ah… !”
Cassis realized this. Why did the religious leader predict that Lily would be an apostle, and why does he know secrets about the book that have not been revealed to anyone else? No doubt he was an apostle. He is an apostle destined to summon a god who will destroy this world.
Cassis turned around holding the book. He could escape from the labyrinth at any time by using the well built on the island. The moment Cassis took a step, his ankle was torn off. After regenerating his body, Cassis started walking again. This time the entire leg was torn off.
But Cassis did not give up and used his arms to crawl across the floor toward the well. Even if his head is ripped off, his arms are torn off, and his legs are chewed off. He eagerly headed toward the well, like a child running away from a tagger.
And finally, Cassis threw the book into the well. Cassis, who was smiling faintly as he watched the book slowly disappear into the well, looked up stupidly when he saw the book fall in front of his face again.
As expected, spatial magic was annoying, Cassis thought.
“Pukkuk, pukukkuk!”
“… “My God.”
“Pukkukkuk!”
“I am more than happy.”
Lily tore the book open with her mouth. Feeling the excruciating pain of his raw flesh being torn away, Cassis could only watch as he was eaten. So the immortal Cassis was eaten by the lily.
“… .”
Ellie, who was quietly watching everything, suddenly felt the defense shield around her shake and strengthened her hand holding the staff.
“… “Ross.”
thud—!
“Ross, please…” .”
Beyond the shield, Ross, with a lily mask on his face, stared at Ellie like prey, drool filled with blood. Finally, the last barrier was broken.
Ellie, who was aiming her wand, was unable to complete the spell and shouted at Ross, who was reaching for her.
“Please, Ross…” !”
Stand tall!
Ross’ body, frozen in the same position as he was about to rip off Ellie’s head, suddenly collapsed. The flesh that had grown in place of her missing body bubbled and melted, and only her body with her limbs cut off rolled around on the floor.
“Roh, Ross… !”
The mask that was stuck to my face fell off. It was a terrible sight to see, with all the skin on her face torn off, but Ellie didn’t pay attention to the fact that Ross was still alive.
‘I can still save you.’
Ellie had not professionally learned magic related to recovery, and it was impossible to save a patient who was left in human form with any recovery magic, but fortunately, Ellie had extensive knowledge about curses.
Ellie, who was kneeling next to the fallen Ross, smiled slightly as she looked at Ross.
“Anyway, it’s useless now.”
Eli aimed his wand at his lower abdomen.
