The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 433



434 – Creaking

My spine tensed. Ellie’s words caught her off guard that much. When she heard that she needed Jin Xian, not Ross, she was confused whether to be happy or sad. Ellie’s obsidian eyes were looking into me. She really wanted Jin Xian.

The only one who can solve this situation is Jin Xian. It was a look in his eyes that fully conveyed that thought. Can I do it? No, you have to. As I was raising her hand towards her mask, Ellie suddenly grabbed her hand. She is a hand that feels warm. Ellie spoke to me in a trembling voice as I wandered, unable to fix my gaze on one place.

“… But you must come back. Because you are Ross.”

Ellie’s expression was so unfamiliar that I thought this might be the expression of someone who forcibly pushes someone to the edge of a cliff. But I tried to smile at the sincere concern in his voice.

“of course. What are you worried about? “I’m Ross.”

He pulled out his hand and placed his hand on the mask. Actually, I don’t know. Is there really a way for me to become a complete Jinxian? I thought back to the advice Estelle had given me. In a soul where Los and Jinxian are mixed, we must find only the part of Los and add Jinxian to it.

What felt like an impossible task somehow gave me a strange sense of confidence at the feel of the mask at my fingertips. Like coffee stains on a pure white shirt, a faint, strange trace remained in my soul. I felt like that faint trace could help me.

The moment my palm completely touched the mask, I felt like I had been doused with cold water. She instinctively closed her eyes and felt herself being overlaid with a materialized soul.

The random thoughts in my head disappeared, and the inner voice disappeared. Between stillness and silence, breathing naturally subsides and emotions feel distant. Time suddenly stopped completely, along with a fleeting feeling of falling.

I saw a carriage in the distance. The inside of the carriage shook violently, wondering what was going on inside. It was a place where there was no background, no sky, no earth, so I approached the only carriage I could see. A black carriage remaining in a pure white world with nothing.

The closer I got, the more the carriage shook, and a feeling of something soggy clung to me. Suddenly, I feel a strange sense of nervousness. I grabbed the carriage door handle, but the door wouldn’t open. The hand holding the handle was covered in sticky liquid. Even without looking, I could tell it was blood from its squishy texture.

The sound of something breaking and a faint groan came from inside the carriage. The blood and brain fluid that flowed from under the carriage reached up to my ankles. The door was unlocked with a clicking sound.

“Ross.”

When I heard a voice coming through the slightly open door, I unconsciously stuck my finger through the crack. No matter how much force I applied, the gap did not widen. Rather, the skin of my fingers was crushed in the narrowed gap. Beyond the door that couldn’t be opened, Luna, who was letting out a small moan of pain, called my name again.

“Ross.”

I feel like my tongue has disappeared from my mouth. Since I can’t speak out, it’s probably true that I’ve disappeared. Through her gaping slit, she somehow tried to see Luna. But what she could see was the wall of the carriage covered in her blood. It was all I could do to predict how much pain she must have been in.

“… “Ross.”

Even though the skin on my fingers was pushed and torn, I forced my hand back. Even though his bones were shattered, he put his arms in. In the end, I crushed all the bones in her body and put her inside the carriage, where I could see Luna’s entire body soaked in blood.

Luna slowly lifted her eyelids as if she had woken up and looked at me. Luna forced a smile, her eyes filled with teardrops.

“… “I missed you.”

Those words completely broke me down. The slightly opened carriage door closed completely again and I fell down next to Luna. With a smile full of serenity.

Colton was screaming because his arm was cut off, Valentine was preparing an intense flame magic that would fill the entire dome, Derok was rushing in to save Kelton, his only surviving comrade, and Lamine was picking up his spear again after finishing temporary treatment. . And Raelan and Ellie felt an indescribable feeling at the same time.

Even the enemy who was about to strike Kelton with his black sword felt it. He turned his head without realizing it. The monster’s survival instinct responded. Deny its existence. But it couldn’t be done. Even if the black sword throbbed and tried to push it away, it could never be denied.

Ross’ appearance did not change. The surrounding space was not distorted, nor was it giving off any dangerous atmosphere. But everyone here saw a moment where the essence was revealed. There is an endless abyss in the starlight of the vast universe. A shimmering, pure chaos so beautiful and pure that its very existence is daunting.

Zorca, the owner of the black sword and the guardian created by the labyrinth, felt that everything was falling apart. He felt an injustice in Ross’ gaze, as if he should not exist. If he could, he would want to stick a black sword in his own head.

However, the power of the labyrinth resisted it, and Zorca came to his senses. Realizing that he had almost killed him, Zorca became furious and grabbed his black sword. He denied that he felt fear or panic, and Zorca rushed at Ross and swung his black sword at Ross with all his might.

“… “What are you?”

The black sword’s trajectory was distorted and it did not reach Ross. Ross looked at Zorca with a blunt voice. No, Jin Xian frowned. Zorka felt a strange sensation, as if dozens of legged bugs were crawling inside her head.

“You don’t appear in my novels?”

A huge crushing pressure pressed down on Zorca. Resisting the intangible force urging him to commit suicide, Zorca swung the black sword again, but Jin Xian just watched and did not dodge. The black sword touched Jin Xian’s shoulder. But he couldn’t dig any further. Just by touching a body wrapped in pure chaos, the black sword was eroded by chaos and lost its power.

Jorka felt like everything was pierced by Jin Xian’s gaze, which was looking into everything about her. Before Zorca could do anything, he Jin Xian spoke in a lamentable voice.

“Get out of my world, dummy.”

Zorka’s body scattered and ruptured in the chaos brought about by that single word. No one felt anything strange while watching it fly. Because it was the natural conclusion of something that should not exist in Jin Xian’s world.

Jin Xian slowly turned his gaze to his surroundings and laughed. Finally, Jin Xian’s eyes were fixed on Ellie. Raelan belatedly came to his senses and became nervous when he saw Jin Xian quietly watching Ellie without doing anything. Even though I tried not to look at Jin Xian directly and looked through the eyes of my familiar, my brain felt numb.

However, while making eye contact with Jin Xian, Ellie opened her mouth casually.

“… “Give it back.”

“what?”

“My childhood friend.”

Ellie pointed her staff at Jin Xian. Only then did Raelan realize. Jin Xian’s surroundings are becoming increasingly blurry afterimages. A storm of causality and probability will come. To return the Creator, who suddenly descended into the world, to his original position.

“You’re not the Ellie I know.”

At just those words, Ellie vomited blood from the tremendous pressure that crushed her soul. She almost lost her wand, but Ellie managed to catch it with her fingertips and aimed her wand again, she said.

“Go back. “This is not your only world.”

“I think so too. “Actually, I didn’t know it would continue until now.”

Jin Xian said with a sigh.

“I have to end it completely so that it doesn’t come back just in case.”

At those words, Ellie rushed towards Jin Xian. Simply approaching her brought excruciating pain as her internal organs ruptured and her blood vessels tore, but Ellie stood proudly in front of Jin Xian. Jin Xian, who was trying to end everything quietly, was intrigued by the action.

“A writer has a responsibility to take responsibility for his or her own story.”

Jin Xian twitched one corner of his mouth at Ellie’s words.

“Yes, no matter how bad the story is, a writer has to finish it.”

“So, give it back. We, you here… “I haven’t finished it yet.”

At Ellie’s words, Jin Xian bobbed her head from side to side. For a moment, the pupils were split into dozens or hundreds of pieces and then merged into one again.

“That’s not what I did. “He didn’t come back on his own.”

“No, you promised me. “I will definitely come back.”

“Well, I was born from a lie. “I won’t keep my promise.”

Ellie smiled at Jin Xian’s mockery.

“No, keep it. “Someone I know is similar to you, but not the same.”

Jin Xian, who was about to raise his hand to mock Ellie, burst out laughing at the creaking sound echoing in his head.

“I see.”
