73 – Ellie’s Past

Thumb! Thud! Thud!

The sound of the giant’s footsteps thumping came from behind. The monster that moved with red eyes scattered was like a guardian of hell. The final boss, located in the depths of the burning dungeon, had a majesty worthy of its rank.

You have to run away. We need to get a little further away from that monster.

‘John! A little bit…. Please wait a minute!’

Ellie runs towards the entrance of the boss room to the point where she wonders if she will stop breathing.

Looking at it with the naked eye, it doesn’t seem that far, but the road to the entrance feels as long as an eternity river.

Tattat!

“Ah!”

Could it be that the body couldn’t keep up with the urgent mind?

Ellie tripped her coolly and rolled on her floor noisily. Her nose was broken and her forehead was torn. Her knees were also scraped.

“Sigh… !”

You have to stand up. You have to stand up and call the other party members.

Her will was full, but her body did not move, as if pressed by a huge weight. She did not exhaust her stamina in her meager sprint. The invisible shackles of her mind were strangling her body.

“You have to stand up….”

The entrance to the boss room that is reflected in your eyes looks different. Memories of the past that you don’t want to recall overlay reality. The landscape of the lava cave full of black and red turned into a dense forest with trees.

—

Tattatatattat!

There are a man and a woman running through a dense forest. Both have coveted blonde hair and look similar. Anyone can easily guess that they are siblings.

The girl’s age seems to be a little over 10 years old now. The male side appears to be twice as old as the female side.

-Ha! Ha! Ha! Brother… !

A girl who is breathing heavily in her hands reaches out to her brother who is ahead of her. Seeing the urgent expression and informal running, it seems that someone is chasing him.

-Ellie! Sooner!

– Wow! Oh, brother… ! No more…. Aww!!

A girl with power gets caught on her boulder and falls to her floor.

-Ellie!!

The man’s name is Elon Janet.

He is the eldest son of the famous Janet family.

-Brother! I’m a bunch!

The man’s expression crumpled at the girl’s words. He is a killer who uses assassination techniques that he has never seen or heard of pursuing them. He managed to get past him with a self-defense item, but it didn’t buy him much time.

-Why did this happen….

It was two weeks ago that Elon and her brother went on a vacation to Lagus Manor, south of the royal capital. While taking the heir class, he decided to spend time with his older brother, Baragi, after a long time.

Elon arrived at the recreational forest of Lagus Manor with an escort given by her parents, and had time to soothe her weary mind and body. The joyous vacation, which satisfied both herself and her brother, was over in the blink of an eye. The day had come to return to the royal capital.

-Brother! I need to buy a present before I go back! A gift for your parents!

-It’s a gift. What would you like?

-I noticed something! That antique store! Both mother and father can’t use their feet when it comes to antiques!

So Ellie took her brother’s hand and went to her antique shop.

– Mr. What is this ring for?

-It must have arrived two days ago. I don’t know the source either. Maybe it’s a stolen item.

-It’s not Shadow Street, can I handle stolen goods like this?

– Complaints?

-No, I like this. I’ll buy it.

Like that, the brother and sister bought souvenirs for their parents and set off for the royal road. The tragedy started from there.

– Captain. Someone is blocking our wagon. You don’t think you’re noble?

-What? What kind of big dick is that? I won, after leaving the royal road, there are all kinds of crazy people. Hey! Dude, who are you?

The man who blocked the carriage was a strange figure who covered his entire body with a black robe. He even wore a white mask over his face to completely hide his identity. He wouldn’t even have guessed the gender if the body shape wasn’t exposed above the robe.

-Ring

– Huh? What..

Suddenly!

Before he could finish his words, the leader’s head flew through the air. It happened so quickly that it felt like a lie. However, the leader’s head rolling on the floor with his eyes wide open reminded us that this situation was not a play on the stage, but reality.

-Everything, Captain!? sh*t! Everyone ready for battle! It’s a thief! No, an assassin!? In any case, the captain was defeated!

The man was truly unstoppable. In an instant, he slaughtered Janet’s upper body guard and turned the tip of his sword to the Elon siblings.

-Brother!? What the hell… ?

A killer who suddenly appears and demands a ring.

Elon could easily guess that the ring he was talking about was the one he had obtained from an antique shop.

-Who are you?

-Ring

A man who doesn’t answer questions and only talks about himself.

From noble mtl dot com

After reading her opponent’s intentions, Elon threw her ring at him. I don’t know how valuable that thing is, but a treasure worth billions of dollars is not as valuable as a life.

-I will take what happened here to the grave. So….

As I was about to ask for help, I saw golden eyes shining inside the mask the man was wearing. Hidden in a robe and mask, the only thing he revealed were his golden eyes. Elon read the intent to kill in those eyes.

Murder and Extinction

The opponent got what he wanted, but he wants to destroy all living things and dream of the perfect crime.

Noticing that fact, Elon detonated her flashbang for self-defense.

Beep!

-Ellie! Hold my brother’s hand! Run!

It is now that it is so early.

An assassin who destroyed the escort of Janet’s Mercenary in a matter of seconds is chasing them. Ellie, who has tripped her foot, is no longer able to escape.

After sorting out the situation, Elon swallowed her saliva and stepped forward.

-Ellie, listen carefully. I’ll get his attention. You cover your mouth tightly and hold your breath. Until someone other than him passes by. Do you have the proof above? Show that and anyone will help.

One must sacrifice. The ability of the assassin with golden eyes was too great to return alive without sacrifice.

– Yes? What about my brother… ?

At Eli’s words, Elon raised her thumb.

-Don’t worry. I will definitely go back

Having said that to her brother, Elon ran away from her village in the opposite direction. She deliberately sheds a lot of her presence.

Ellie had never seen her brother lie. It was largely influenced by his parents, who said that trust is the greatest asset of a merchant.

But, just once, her brother lied to himself. That was his last lie.

-Did you hear the news? I heard that the eldest son of Janet’s family died young.

-Tsuttuk. What did the child of such a precious family lack?

-As expected, people do not know the future. We should be careful too.

Ellie, who came back alive with her death, has never forgotten that moment. The day she lost her brother, Ellie got the task of her life.

The murderer of the golden eye who took my brother.

To get revenge on him.

That was a task she would risk her entire life to complete.

—

It’s the same composition as back then.

A man willing to risk his life for himself.

At that time, it was my older brother, and this time it is Yohan.

He ate the sacrifices of others and himself survived. How is this different from the physiology of parasites?

Ellie pounded the ground in unbearable disgust.

“You idiot!!!!”

What is your brother’s revenge?

What is the task of a lifetime?

You foolish half-poon, know your subject.

Didn’t you cut off a precious relationship with your stupid mistake again?

Perhaps the beginning of all tragedies may not be the assassin with golden eyes. It wouldn’t even be a giant magma golem.

The one who wrote the prologue of the screenplay, which leaves a bitter aftertaste, is none other than Ellie Janet, a stupid and weak girl.

We must move quickly so that John’s sacrifice is not in vain. At that time, my brother did not come back. I didn’t want to go through something like that again.

John Baker.

My first friend of the opposite s*x I met at the academy.

When everyone approached him, weighing gains and losses, he treated himself with pure goodwill. He even risked his own life for himself. If so, he himself must reciprocate the goodwill.

“The mandible… ! Mandible… ! Mandible… !”

Forcibly move the unmoving leg. He runs more earnestly than when he was chased by the assassin with golden eyes. Even as her breathing filled up and her heart throbbed, she never stopped running.

“Huh? Ellie!? Elegy!?”

Once I came to my senses, I found myself in front of another party who had separated. It is located not far from the boss room.

“Miss Sierra….!”

Her body felt like it would explode with every word she said, but she continued her words without stopping to catch her breath.

“It’s a big deal! John’s…. John’s… !”

Ellie explained everything about her. She omitted the explanation as much as possible because the situation was situational, but she conveyed all the core of the story.

By her own mistake, John is in the dungeon.

That you are facing a boss monster in a dungeon.

If he doesn’t apply quickly, he’s in danger.

Ellie knew. How terrible Sierra is for John.

John was in danger because of himself. Maybe he’ll get slapped by Sierra or grabbed by her hair. Ellie prepared for that and closed her eyes.

“Ellie! Are you okay?”

However, instead of a fierce grip, it was Sierra’s worried voice.

“Sierra… sheep?”

“It seems that her ankle is limping a little, maybe it is a sprain or something?”

“Yeah, but…. Don’t you hate me for Miss Sierra?”

How could such a reaction come out?

She hates herself even when she thinks about it, but how could Sierra, who was stitched by Johann’s side, react like that?

“Huh? Do you hate Why do you ask?”

“Because of me, Yohan…”

“John will be fine.”

Sierra said emphatically before Ellie could finish her sentence. From her eyes, which did not show the slightest agitation, Ellie remembered Sierra as usual.

-John is absolutely right.

-Of course not. That’s what John does.

-Let’s do what John said.

Sierra’s obedience to John was morbid. In fact, Ellie, who watched her as her roommate, was often appalled.

However, at this moment, Ellie realized. Sierra’s blind affirmation towards John is not simply out of love. It is her faith that she casts on a man named John.

“Yohan is in danger because of my mistake…. Are you okay though… ?”

“Everyone makes mistakes. And Ellie, you came running like this with a sprained leg to right that mistake. That’s enough.”

“Miss Sierra….”

“What does it mean to be good friends?”

In Sierra’s grinning face, Ellie saw John. They say that people who love each other resemble each other, but that seems to be true.

Ellie looked at Sierra’s smile, and she thought she wanted to resemble that smile.
