The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed

466 – Reverse cause and effect

After saving my life with the help of a lycan I hadn’t seen in a long time, I immediately pulled out and asked.

“How did you get here…” .”

I knew that Lycan would join, but it was the first time that Messiah members had entered the labyrinth. Unable to hide my embarrassment, I looked at Rakar and Kane, whom I had not seen in a long time, and turned my head towards them when they were glaring at me as if they were going to kill me.

“… lily!”

Aria tried to swing her wand at me without hesitation. But Kane stood in front of her staff, and Rakar blocked Aria’s arm. Perhaps feeling betrayed by her friends who stopped her, Aria angrily tapped her foot on the floor.

“Get out of my way!”

“aria. calm down! Now we must join forces… .”

Kane raised both hands and approached Aria, but Aria stabbed Kane in the chest with the tip of her staff and shouted as if warning.

“To join forces against the enemy who killed our parents? “The reason I entered the labyrinth was to kill that guy, not to help him!”

As Aria kept her eyes focused on me and poured out a thick curse, I felt like she had no hesitation in saying that she would kill me if she had the chance. Without realizing it, a wry smile formed on my face. I feel like cause and effect has finally come to pierce my heart.

“Ross, let’s leave Aria to our friends and focus on the cult leader.”

After coming to my senses after Lycan’s words, I remembered Ellie, who was injured while trying to save me, and quickly turned my head. Fortunately, it seems Mormot rushed to help Ellie. Ellie’s arm exploded and she used her magic to stop the bleeding, but with her bones and muscles still exposed, she looked incredibly distressed.

The moment our eyes met, Ellie was in tears. At first she thought it was because of the pain, but I could tell by the way she sighed and smiled in relief that she was actually worried about me. With that clearly conveyed feeling, I inadvertently turned my head in another direction.

Even though the cult leader failed to kill me, he didn’t seem particularly regretful. He was observing us closely with his chakram down, as if he was rather intrigued.

“It’s understandable since Lycan is Roel’s teacher and a former professor at Transcendence Academy, but… I honestly don’t understand why there are extras behind there. “What kind of sense of accomplishment does being with a bug that doesn’t exist in the novel give you?”

I couldn’t ignore the leader’s words, who was evaluating my precious members in such a way.

“… I’m sorry, but I don’t have abnormal s*xual desires like you. “They are all precious friends to me.”

The leader stroked his chin and shrugged his shoulders.

“That’s strange. From what I hear, it sounds like you brutally killed that precious friend’s parents.”

“… .”

“If you created a precious relationship to ‘lose’ friendship with a friend just because you wanted to become stronger, then I completely agree with your method―”

My body reacted before the thought entered my head. Using intangible breath and dimensional leap at the same time, I rushed like a flash of light and tore apart everything in a straight line.

The cult leader’s body exploded, and his shattered flesh and blood splattered everywhere. But it was an elaborate fake. The cult leader emerged from the blood mist created by flesh and blood and swung his chakram towards the nape of my neck.

Kang-!

The lips beneath the mask are smiling. After confirming what I was sensitive to, the leader turned his eyes towards his members as if to watch his actions.

Without any time to block, the leader threw a chakram and tied my ankles, sending out a chaotic energy and flying towards the members. Kane, who was desperately trying to block Aria by hugging her, had his back turned and was defenseless. Rakar, who noticed the cult leader approaching, quickly raised his dual swords.

Kang-!

However, what blocked the chakram was not the dual swords, but the gauntlets the Lycan was wearing. I caught up with the leader’s speed. No, it actually feels faster. Lycans are the world’s strongest physical faction, able to move like a flash of light with just the power of their bodies.

“Uh huh, where are you putting your hands on my students?”

“It’s a light greeting.”

The religious leader reached back and retrieved the chakram that had been thrown at me, and swung the chakram like an axe.

bang-! bang-!

At the same time as there was a flash, the bodies of the cult leader and the Lycan were pushed back from each other. He aimed at him and threw a spear of shadow, but the leader, who easily blocked it with the energy of chaos, floated his body in the air, overlapped two chakrams into one, expanded it to a size larger than himself, and mounted it on his back.

“That… .”

A huge golden eye appeared within the huge chakram circle mounted on the cult leader’s back. Strangely enough, those big eyes didn’t feel unfamiliar. I definitely feel like I’ve seen it somewhere.

Yeah, that’s… .

The leader, who noticed that I had noticed him, crossed his arms in front of his chest in an X shape and radiated chaotic energy in all directions, revealing a strong presence.

“Hehe, Bella from the first world gave me a very nice gift.”

Were they Bella’s eyes?

“Well, the main characters who will end the stage have finally gathered together, so let’s end the story of the extras here.”

As if it had been a joke until now, a huge amount of chaos began to flow out of the cult leader’s body like a waterfall.

“Do not be afraid.”

As soon as the bridge that was floating in the air came down from the sky, the ground around it collapsed.

Crumbling!

Flames are rising from the completely collapsing floor, and an aura of chaos is surging from the road surface. Meanwhile, the leader, who had taken a step forward and boasted of a presence that overwhelmed everyone, spoke back.

“I am your end.”

Kudduddu―――!

The energy emitted by the cult leader began to turn the entire ground upside down, as if he wanted to eliminate all the places we could step on. At that time, Raelan hurriedly approached us, grabbed my shoulder and whispered.

“… If things continue like this, it will be annihilated. Lycan and I will take as long as we can, so leave us and go upstairs with Ellie. If you can just use space magic, escaping will be easy. “Running away from the cult leader is the best option right now.”

Of course I could understand that Raelan was right. However, I am a person who puts my emotions first even if I understand with my head. Otherwise, the almost impossible plan of going to the 10th floor of the labyrinth to revive Luna would not have been implemented.

“We can’t abandon our members here.”

Raelan sighed in response to my answer and responded irritatedly.

“Wasn’t your purpose to revive Luna? You can’t get two. Anyway, your friend can’t even reach the realm of transcendence, so he just holds you back in the labyrinth. “You can only achieve your goals if you give what you can.”

“If what I have to give away is my precious person, that means it’s the wrong way to do it.”

Raelan let out a curse, but closed his mouth when the energy emitted by the cult leader reached the area.

“Haha, my student takes after me and is quite stubborn in these areas.”

“Yeah, it’s just like the idiots who choose to die here.”

Raelan, who said so, raised his magic power with Lycan and pushed away the energy released by the cult leader. Raelan, who had defended the ground, gave me a look and rejoined Ellie and Mormot, who had begun to lose ground.

“Of course, what Raelan said is clearly true. As time passes, we are at an overwhelming disadvantage. I feel the chaos encroaching on everything around me. You must kill the cult leader at once. “That’s the only way to win.”

There was only one way for me to kill the cult leader. This is how to use the window of the World Tree. You only need to attack the cult leader once. Then you can win.

“… “Can you help me strike the cult leader?”

Instead of answering, the Lycan tapped my shoulder and immediately spewed out magical power, rushing towards the cult leader like a flash of light. As soon as I saw that, I deactivated the spear and took out the World Tree Spear from the space warehouse.

Kwaaa!

Lycan seemed intent on keeping his gaze firmly focused on himself, so he did his best to deal with the cult leader from the beginning. Every time the gauntlet was swung, the air exploded and a huge roar rang out as one, and even the chaotic energy surging around the religious leader was momentarily pushed aside by the white flash.

“Do you think that you, who are only Roel’s temporary teacher, can stop me, the ultimate evil agent?”

A heavy invisible force tried to weigh down the lycan, but as I saw the gauntlet wrapped in magical power and the sight of him blocking the thing that was weighing down his body with tremendous force, I realized that my opportunity had come.

The World Tree’s spear increases its power. The spear blade, emitting a dark light of destruction, moves towards the sect.

The golden eyes on the back of the cult leader who was confronting the Lycan momentarily turned towards me. The leader turned his head to me and moved one of his arms.

A huge energy of chaos gathers at the cult leader’s fingertips. But I already had the position and opportunity to stab the cult leader in the heart.

The moment he was sure of victory, the religious leader smiled bitterly.

The fingertip that was aiming at me moved behind me.

“… !”

At the same time that a black flash was fired from the cult leader’s fingertips, I reflexively retrieved the World Tree Spear that was heading toward the cult leader’s heart and used intangible breathing again.

Kwaaa!

The black flash that rushed towards the members was barely blocked using the power of the World Tree’s spear. Because of the continuous use of intangible breathing, my heart felt like it was going to burst, the bones of my whole body creaked, and my arms were twisted from the shock of hitting the flash of light, tearing my muscles and blood vessels.

But that wasn’t the end of the price.

“Arya, no!”

The moment Kane’s urgent voice reached my ears,

Arya’s magic pierced my heart.
