The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 423
424 – Control
A few days have passed since Raelan’s shocking confession that the cult leader might be another Ross. Eunice and Lamine finally reached the fourth floor, escaped the labyrinth, and arrived at Modest’s secret hideout. Ellie and Raelan, who had been contacted by Modest, also came belatedly.
“It’s later than expected.”
Seeing Raelan scolding her as soon as she came in, Eunice sighed and explained.

“Ha, I couldn’t help it. “We were attacked by the cult.”
I made eye contact with Raelan. The cult intentionally targeted us from the third floor. Raelan, who was alone, was lucky and was not attacked by the Order, but his intentions were clear as Eunice and Lamine were also attacked.
“Who attacked you?”
“You… ? Did Confsion attack other people too?”
When I explained to Eunice, who was tilting her head, that she was attacked by Cassis and that Eli killed him, Eunice, who looked at Eli with a surprised face, nodded and explained.
“Number 6 of the Confción. The dark island of Maurice suddenly fell from the sky. “I almost died, but I was able to escape thanks to Lamine’s help.”
Lamine shrugged her shoulders as if it was no big deal and continued what Eunice was saying.
“Maurice was a prosecutor. She was an opponent who was skilled at hiding herself by making her surroundings dark, as befits her title of darkness. Fortunately, she prepared for the attack by creating several cover points on the island in advance, so she was able to hide and fight Eunice safely.”
“Still, dealing with Maurice must have been quite difficult. “You don’t have the Spear of Destruction.”
Lamine nodded to Raelan’s question.
“yes that’s right. Still, I managed to fight using the spear given to me by the emperor… It wasn’t an opponent I could beat. If you hid yourself in the dark, physical attacks were impossible. Well, the opponent couldn’t attack in that state either, so we wasted both sides’ time.”
“So, did Maurice give up and retreat?”
“No, Maurice is dead.”
“what?”
“Roel appeared from somewhere holding a holy sword that emits light and killed Maurice, who was hiding in the dark, with one blow. The darkness itself was pushed aside by the light and its hidden body was revealed, causing the head to roll on the floor. Roel looked at me for a moment and then, without saying a word, he turned around and disappeared. “He got help.”
As soon as Lamine finished explaining, I asked.
“Really, did the holy sword emit light?”
“Yes, Eunice said she saw it too.”
When I turned my head, Eunice also nodded as if it was true.
“The fact that light comes out of the holy sword means that the seal has been broken. What a saint… “I guess Roel killed him.”
Somehow, I felt like my body was losing strength. I promised I would definitely keep it, but it turned out really funny. Raelan led the conversation with me in mind.
“This is a really good situation for us. “No matter who killed it, the power of the church has been reduced.”
“So how many people are left in Confsion now?”
Raelan answered Eunice’s question.
“Including the pontoon pontoon, only numbers 1, 3, 4, and 5 remain. Is it chaos, hallucination, revelation, and extinction? Including the religious leader, there are a total of six enemies.”
Raelan said, stroking his chin.
“The rescue team will have six people, including the Lycan who will join. Now the numbers are equal.”
As soon as Raelan finished speaking, Lamine spoke.
“Eunice and I think the fourth floor is the limit. Challenging yourself to a higher level is… “It’s as if death is confirmed.”
It is a Lamine with specialized abilities in survival. If she says that, she means it.
“So you’re saying you’re only going to go up to the fourth floor?”
When Raelan asked in a low voice, Lamine frowned and said.
“Honestly, even the fourth floor is difficult. “It’s especially difficult for Eunice.”
“We are fighting to save the world.”
“But I have no intention of setting foot in a place where death is likely.”
Raelan and Lamine did not avoid each other’s gaze and began to have a snowball fight. After watching it quietly, I turned to Eunice and said.
“Eunice, you’ve had a hard time.”
Eunice’s eyes widened at my words. I guess I didn’t know that they would tell me not to challenge the labyrinth anymore. Raelan, who was having a snowball fight with Lamine, also turned his head to me.
“… What are you trying to end on your own? “I think I said last time that we are not in a position to take our time.”
“I know. But there’s no need to overdo it. “I’m sorry, but Lamine, please stay with me until the 4th floor.”
Raelan’s face distorted at my arbitrary action. Looking at Raelan like that, I smiled faintly. And she revealed her honest feelings.
“I feel like if someone dies anymore, it will stop like this.”
As he said that, he pointed his finger at my chest.
“I don’t think I can hold on here any longer.”
There was silence in the basement for a moment. Everyone realized the sincerity in my voice and looked at me with various eyes. Raelan sighed and said to me who was smiling bitterly.
“… It’s going to be hard. Eunice’s abilities and Lamine’s abilities will be of great help in the labyrinth. “Didn’t you say you would do anything for the purpose of saving Luna?”
“It must be difficult. The labyrinth is where even Roel had a hard time in the first place. The fact remains that he can do anything. But he doesn’t have to sacrifice Eunice and Lamine. Even if those two people’s abilities aren’t perfect, they will definitely be of great help.”
Raelan, who was rubbing his forehead, realized my firm intention and stroked his chin with a cold face.
“… How about adding the Praks family to the rescue team? “He has memories anyway, so he will be of great help to us.”
“No, it is certain that the Order will attack the Academy someday. “If we want to minimize the damage as much as possible, we need to let them continue to protect the academy.”
Raelan got irritated by hitting the table with his palm, then looked straight at me and said.
“I am a counselor who will help you at any cost. “If you act like this, I have no choice but to act for you on my own.”
“… Are you threatening Ross now?”
When Ellie asked in a low voice, Raelan snorted.
“The reason I served Ross as my lord in the first place was because he was the only card that could win. “If you give up victory because you are swayed by emotions, there is no reason for me to continue to have you as my lord.”
Almost simultaneously, Raelan and Ellie raised their magic power. I said as I looked at the two people glaring at each other, ready to unleash their magic at any moment.
“I’m not giving up on climbing to the 10th floor. “We didn’t exclude Eunice and Lamine simply because of their emotions.”
“Then, is there any good way to replace those two?”
In response to Raelan’s question, I took out a thick document from the space storage and placed it on the table.
“This is what Amber told me. “It’s a document containing the express information that Estelle personally managed.”
Raelan, who was annoyed by my explanation, showed interest and pulled the document towards him.
“We are not the only ones challenging the fourth floor. There are several monsters that have reached the realm of transcendence. So, I spent a few days checking the settings collection to find people on the 4th floor who I could use as temporary allies.”
Raelan, who was reading the document, twitched one corner of his mouth and said.
“Is there any reason for the magic tower lords and transcendents to form a temporary alliance with us? Their goal is not to climb the labyrinth, but most of them are aiming for a huge reward. “If the risk becomes greater than the reward, it is obvious that I will run away at any time.”
“You just have to create a reason. Isn’t that what the madman does best? “If you keep it on a strong leash, it won’t be able to escape.”
Raelan burst out laughing. Raelan, who was shaking her shoulders and laughing, looked at me with a satisfied face and nodded her head.
“Good, I’m glad my lord isn’t such an idiot.”
“Combining the information in the setting book and the documents could be an excellent persuasive material.”
“Okay, trust me and leave it to me. “I’ll make you sacrifice your life.”
I decided that the conversation was roughly over and got up. Raelan, who had taken the documents, disappeared, and Lamine left the basement, saying he would report to Bella.
I approached Eunice, who was talking to Ellie, to tell her that she had been through a lot.
“Master… .”
They must have been talking about something important, but as I got closer, Ellie and Eunice kept their mouths shut. I spoke to Eunice with a puzzled expression as the two people looked at me.
“… I want to tell you that I’ve had a hard time. Instead, please help out outside.”
“Oh, yes… “Thank you, I’m sorry you had to fight with Raelan because of me.”
“no. “It was necessary.”
There was a somewhat awkward silence. It seems like it’s a conversation we can’t have if I’m around. I carefully turned around and went up the stairs. The two didn’t open their mouths until I was completely gone.
