The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed

464 – Exit

I asked, glaring at the cult leader who introduced himself as Ross of the 1201st world.

“Many Ross have their own nicknames. Like the Ross of longing and the Ross of hope. Then what should I call you? Betrayal, mutation, lack, lack, inadequacy, trash… “If you don’t have it, I can add it.”

I intentionally used provocative words to get information about the cult leader. The phrase ‘beginning from the end’ was not a nickname, but a description of oneself. I thought that ‘Ross’, who has a terrible inferiority complex, would not laugh off this kind of provocation.

Sure enough, the eyes of the religious leader glaring at me contained a feeling that I could not feel alive at all, but that I felt like I was being oppressed.

“Are you putting me in the same boat as other Ross? This is ridiculous. Among the many Loss, I am the only one who escaped God’s control and reached the truth. “For me, these words are the only words that suit me.”

Saying that, the cult leader spread his hands and a huge black chakram appeared.

“Ross of transcendence. “Only that can fully explain the unique existence that I am.”

A stir arose from the religious leader. He felt his body being pushed by a shock wave, as if the air had been struck. As if further conversation was meaningless, the leader raised his chakram and aimed it at me.

“And I want uniqueness.”

At that moment, a slash covered in ink flew towards me. As I was preparing for a surprise attack, I immediately used space distortion to twist the trajectory of the slash and at the same time created a dimensional passage and stabbed the spear towards the back of the cult leader’s head.

Kang-!

Something unseen blocked the spear blade. Quickly retrieve the spear and touch the ankles, hips, waist… He used space magic to launch an anomalous attack that was difficult to deal with, but the chaotic energy emitted by the leader like smoke took shape and blocked all attacks.

“Ross! “Leave the rest to us!”

Ellie shouted and poured out all the magic she had prepared towards Confsion, who had moved to support the cult leader. Despite the huge roar and shock wave behind her, I trusted Ellie and her colleagues and focused all my attention on the leader in front of her.

I won’t be able to defeat the cult leader with my strength alone. You can kill it, but you can’t defeat it. To kill the ambiguous existence of the cult leader, Roel, the protagonist of the novel, is needed. Because that was the original flow.

But Roel is not the cult’s only weakness. The leader of the Chaos Cult is ultimately the mid-boss of the novel. The Demon King, who acts as the final boss in the novel, can of course kill the cult leader.

If Raelan, who became the Demon King’s apostle, uses the terminal to possess the Demon King, he will be able to completely kill the cult leader’s existence with the Demon King’s power.

Then, what I have to do is decided. Buying time until Raelan is ready. It’s not that difficult. Because I can kill the cult leader.

He drew all the magical power into his body and split the spear of shadow into two. They attacked with dual spears, a single spear and a long spear. The spear blades that escaped from the exits of dozens of dimensions using space magic struck the cult leader’s entire body.

The chaotic energy surrounding the cult leader’s entire body blocked all spear blades, but I planned to do my best from the beginning. A gigantic spear of shadow fell from the highest point that could create an exit to the dimension and hit the religious leader.

Kwaaang―――!

A cloud of dust and a loud noise engulfed the sect. But soon, an ink-colored slash broke through the dust and rushed towards me. Immediately, he moved in place using space magic and at the same time swung the other spear with all his might, like swinging a bat.

Kang–!

The shock coming up the window pole makes my palms tingle. As I strengthened my legs, retrieved the spear, and took a stance to attack again, the leader’s eyes lit up and he took steps toward me and attempted to swing his chakram. Not realizing the trap I had prepared.

Kwaaang―――!

The golem taken out of the space warehouse crossed the dimensional passage and rushed towards the cult leader’s back. The charge was blocked by the energy of chaos, but the cult leader’s posture was slightly tilted forward as he was unable to absorb the shock itself. Without missing it, he fired back and forth.

Kang-! Kang-! Kang-!

The leader who blocked the spear blade by rotating the chakram spread out a wave at the same time as he stretched out his leg.

thud—!

I felt a heavy force pressing down on me from above, but I immediately used my intangible breathing to free myself from the pressure and stabbed the spear.

Deep!

「… “You little one!”

For the first time, the blade of the spear grazed the priest’s forearm. Although he was not injured by the spear blade, perhaps because he was wearing high-defense clothing, it is important that the attack worked. The cult leader swung her arms and released a huge amount of chaotic energy like a whip, shattering the legs of the golem that was trying to attack her from behind.

However, it was a clear mistake to show your back to me again.

Hundreds of spear blades from hundreds of dimensional passages struck the pontoon. Even if I completely block the endless barrage of spear blades with the energy of chaos, there is no time for the leader to turn to me. Even if I tried to force myself to turn around, I was a spearman who could use space to target my back at any time.

The cult leader, who was trying to turn around, belatedly realized his mistake and spread the slime-like chaotic energy in all directions. Instinctively, I decided that it was as dangerous as poison, so I immediately changed the shape of the spear into a wide shield and protected my whole body.

thud—!

A huge wave, like a heart pulse, flowed from the cult leader’s body. Soon, the religious leader, with tremendous force, rushed towards me like a flash of light. Their gazes briefly cross, and the spear and chakram collide in the air.

Kang! Cancankang!

I bent down to avoid the chakram that suddenly flew at me, and at the same time, I slashed the spear towards the floor. The spear blade passed through the dimensional passage created before reaching the floor and pierced the cult leader’s left arm from behind. As I was sucked into the dimensional passage, I created a new spear and slashed at the head of the cult leader.

“Don’t be a jerk!”

The cult leader turned his head towards me with terrifying speed, opened his palm, and unleashed a burst of chaotic energy.

Kwaang―――!

As his body flew backwards from the impact, he threw down the javelin he was striking at and succeeded in piercing the cult leader’s thigh. As soon as my back hit the ground, I rolled over to find my balance and raised a corner of my mouth at the religious leader.

“I don’t think Ross’ skills, given the grandiose word ‘transcendence’, are better than Roel’s?”

At my ridicule, the cult leader burst out with terrifying energy, retrieved the chakram with an obviously angry face, and rushed at me again. As I continued to attack the cult leader using intangible breathing and spatial telekinesis, I heard the voice of Raelan, who had finally finished preparing.

“Ross, now it’s my turn!”

Raelan stabbed his palm with the staff he was holding, piercing the back of his hand. The blood flowing down her arm ran back to the back of her hand, and she suddenly felt that her surroundings were becoming dark. The cult leader, who was about to swing her chakram, pulled out behind her and glared at Raelan.

Raelan’s body rose in the air accompanied by a huge surge of heat. The attention of everyone here was focused on Raelan as the magic energy spewed out like particles around the area. The magic energy gathered in one place and a dark red crown appeared on Raelan’s head.

The Demon King, who rules the Demon World, has descended to this place in the form of an apostle.

“Did you think that the leader of the Chaos Cult, Gam, could betray Jim and move on with his life?”

With those words, the Demon King swung his hand, and a huge sword made of condensed demonic energy pierced through the cult leader’s body in an instant.

“Ugh… !」

Confsion was taken aback by the sight of the cult leader on one knee, vomiting blood, and tried to run to protect him, but Ellie and Mormot knew of many troublesome magics that could hold a person’s ankle.

While Confsion’s ankle was being held, the Demon King, who was floating in the air, slowly came down to the ground.

“Huh, is this a perfect appearance?”

The Demon King, who was muttering softly, smiled at me and nodded slightly. It was a bit out of place since he was doing that with Raelan’s face, but I quietly gave a thumbs up that the Demon King’s power was real.

The Demon King slowly approached the cult leader with a satisfied face and again materialized a huge black greatsword in his hand. The Demon King spoke, giving off the air of a noble king about to personally behead a criminal.

“The sin of daring to destroy the demon world, the sin of mocking Jim, the sin of causing countless demons to suffer. All those sins will not be forgiven even after death. Your soul will be bound to me and suffer endlessly, and you will spend your whole life serving the Demon World to atone for it!”

The Demon King raised his greatsword high. The religious leader, who had been on his knees and bowing his head until then, felt as if his head would be cut off. However, the moment the Demon King’s great sword went down, the religious leader suddenly raised his head and the corners of his mouth were stretching out.

I never saw that expression in the mirror, but I felt like I knew when I would make that expression. That was a face you would make when you completely deceived the other person.

“for a moment… !”

“Be my slave, sinner!”

Just before the great sword fell on his head, the cult leader’s hand moved as if he was swinging a sword. The space where his hand with only his index and middle fingers passed seemed to have been cut off.

“Godslaughter!”

As that voice rang out, the magic energy flowing from Raelan’s body disappeared in an instant.

The Demon King was sent out in vain by the religious leader.
