The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 432



433 – The Power of Chaos

Valentine swung his staff and filled the area within his magical reach with red flash. However, just by holding the black sword forward, the flash split like a stream of water and did not inflict any damage on the enemy.

“… “Can you beat this?”

“… .”

Valentine pulled out next to me and let out despairing words. I didn’t want to give a weak answer that I was an opponent I couldn’t beat. But he is a monster that destroys and devours enemy magic. Even weapon cutting does not work, and a light swing of the black sword destroys the dimensional passage. In terms of speed and strength, you can only catch up to some extent by using intangible breathing.

difficult. He is the most difficult opponent I have ever faced. Still, we have to fight. There was nowhere to retreat, and I had no intention of retreating. As I grabbed the pole, I thought of all the attacks I could launch. Meanwhile, Colton and Raelan were doing a great job killing time.

While the summon created by Raelan sacrificed itself to successfully grab the enemy’s ankle, the mixed reagent thrown by Colton continued to push back the approach. Swinging the black sword was enough, but the goal of the two was to make the enemy swing the black sword itself. Because their goal was not to kill them, but to hold them back by their ankles.

Boom, boom, boom!

Using that gap, he poured out all the remaining magic stone bombs on the enemy’s head. A heavy pounding of the ground can be felt through the soles of the shoes. Not satisfied with that, he used the dimensional jump to throw the Spear of Shadow towards the enemy, whose shape was only partially visible in the smoke.

Kaaang―――!

The spear of shadow, which became a black flash with flames, rolled around in vain on the floor. The enormous destructive power of dimensional leap itself has been destroyed. Despite the simultaneous explosion of more than 10 magic stone bombs and a dimensional jump, the enemy did not even suffer a scratch.

“Is this an enemy that cannot be defeated by ordinary means?”

Suddenly, Raelan, who was muttering while gritting his teeth, spoke to me.

“Is dimension jumping the strongest technique?”

In terms of power alone, nothing could match the destructive power of dimensional leap. When I nodded, Raelan narrowed his eyes and said.

“How about adding more destructive power by using intangible breathing?”

“… “I just used it.”

I didn’t take my time. I launched the best attack I could. Raelan probably didn’t know that I even used intangible breathing, so he bit his lip with an embarrassed face and said.

“I’ll create a gap somehow. “It seems we have no choice but to aim for that gap with space magic.”

Raelan turned around, saying there was nothing he could do. But before that, I saw Raelan taking a quick look at Ellie out of the corner of his eye. It’s not like Raelan was worried about the injured Lamine, so she was clearly looking at Ellie. What is the reason? Does Ellie know her answer to this situation?

I turned my head to look at Ellie, but she seemed busy treating the injured Lamine. To save Locke, who was in danger again, she materialized the spear again and threw it at the enemy. The enemy, who was about to finish off Derok, caught the flying spear as if he had been waiting, spun his body around, and threw it at the adventurer who was approaching from behind.

He hurriedly dismantled the spear, but the spear had already left the enemy’s hand and pierced the adventurer’s heart. There were only two adventurers left. One of them stepped back and looked at the corpse of his comrade, then turned and started running towards the wall where there was an exit from the labyrinth.

I had no intention of forcibly holding on to someone whose will had been broken. But the enemy thought differently. Ignoring all the magic flying towards the adventurer who had turned his back on the battlefield, he rushed forward, letting out an unpleasant sound like a chillingly cold, resentful groan.

“Kwaaak!”

The arm of the adventurer who managed to grab the door handle was cut off by the black sword. As if that wasn’t enough, the enemy literally tore the adventurer to death with a voice full of resentment.

“… “The enemy got excited for the first time.”

Raelan’s voice made me realize it too. She strangely lost her cool and reacted sensitively to the adventurer who turned her back and ran away. Her efficient killing touch was filled with soggy emotions. If so, you might be able to use this. I approached Derok, who was sitting on the floor with a face full of despair.

“If the enemy attacks, I will stop it. Meanwhile, drop your weapons and run through the door.”

At those words, Derok distorted his face and said.

“… “Are you asking me to be bait now?”

“That’s right, we have to do whatever it takes to defeat that monster. The enemy got excited for the first time when he saw the adventurer running away. If he sees you throwing away your weapon, he will lose his temper again and attack you. Pretend to grab the handle, then turn around and hit the enemy back. “I’ll send you the weapons.”

This is impossible if you don’t have faith in me. We haven’t been together long enough to build trust. But I thought Derok would accept. Before he was a guild leader, he was also an adventurer. Of course, an adventurer’s revenge must be taken by an adventurer.

Derok, who was glaring at me with his chin tightened, sighed. Then he raised his body and grabbed his sword.

“… “Can I trust you?”

“No, then you will definitely regret it.”

“… Oh my, fuck. “Isn’t this a situation where we have to be told to believe even empty words?”

I smiled bitterly at Derok’s bewildered voice. Luna, who was my top priority in life, trusted me and then she died. Who can I tell someone to trust me like that? Even empty words cannot do that.

“Anyway, I believe it. “You probably don’t want to be left behind here either.”

“… okay.”

At that moment, Valentine shot a spell from afar and ran towards us. Following Valentine, who quickly hid behind us, he swung his black sword at me, the enemy standing in front. As he was using his spatial distortion to push his black sword away and unleash a barrage of blows, Derok threw his sword towards his enemy and started running towards his door without even looking back.

“―――!”

The enemy, who blocked the attack and struck away Derok’s sword, let out a creepy voice and turned around to chase after Derok. He aimed at the defenseless back and stabbed the spear using space magic, but thanks to the numerous eyes, the enemy, who had no blind spot, easily avoided the attack and approached Derok.

When I saw the black sword rising high to cut off the arm reaching towards the handle, I immediately moved Derok’s sword using space magic. Holding his sword, not its handle, Derok dragged his feet backwards and stabbed his sword.

Phew―――!

For the first time, the attack worked on the enemy. Derok’s sword pierced his abdomen. Derok rolled on the ground and hurried away to avoid the enemy wielding a black sword, bleeding dark red.

“Success! I feel like I’m in the right place… .”

Derok came to my side and trailed off. The enemy who pulled out the sword he was stuck in instantly regenerated his wound. Raelan spoke in a sighing voice to Derok, who was swallowing his saliva.

“You should have aimed for the head.”

“If I had aimed for the head in that situation, I would have died!”

Deroch is right. The surprise attack was successful because the closest place to the sword was the abdomen. If De Roque had been greedy and raised his arm to aim for his head, De Roque’s head would have been struck by the black sword in that split-second reaction.

“This is an opponent that even has regenerative abilities. The same method won’t work. “What do you plan to do now?”

“… “We must fight until the end.”

There is no particular way for me. Because I don’t have a strategy for a powerful enemy that doesn’t appear in the novel. We launched an attack against the charging enemy. But everyone knew that this was only a resistance to postpone death.

Valentine even used a magic scroll, but it failed to inflict any damage on the enemy. Colton had already given up resisting and was busy running away. At a desperate moment, Ellie, who had finished Lamine’s temporary treatment, joined us. However, Ellie’s magic was useless in front of the black sword that destroyed her magic.

It is a moment when you have to make a decision. If we keep fighting, we will eventually be annihilated. But I had a way to save everyone by sacrificing myself. Use the decisive spear to trap the enemy, and in the meantime, your allies can escape the labyrinth through the door. At least I can have a meaningful death.

You can abandon everyone and run away alone using space magic, but even then, you will never be able to get to the 10th floor on your own. How could I, who ran away from the 4th floor, get up to the 10th floor?

The moment he was about to take out the decisive spear from the space warehouse, Raelan waved his staff widely at the enemy and shouted at Ellie.

“Are you still hesitating!”

At those words, Ellie bit her lip and suddenly grabbed my arm and looked straight at me.

“The enemy is using the power of destruction. “Without that, we can win.”

“… But there is no way.”

“No, you already know how. “You know what power Dwyn used, which prevented the power of destruction from working.”

“Chaos… “It’s not something I can use.”

But Ellie shook her head. I was the one who was rather taken aback by his confident expression.

“You can definitely do it. “The religious leader prophesied that you would be an apostle.”

“… but.”

Ellie raised her hand and stroked my mask. She then leaned her body slightly and whispered in a low voice that only I could hear.

“We need a complete Jinxian, not just Ross.”
