chapter 471
472 – The Wizard King
The confrontation between the cult leader and Roel ended surprisingly coldly. All of the religious leader’s struggles were meaningless in front of Roel. The energy of chaos disappeared like smoke from the holy sword, and the concentrated power of chaos could not even overcome Roel’s original power.
“Am I still running out of time?”
The choice of the religious leader who said that was to run away. However, just as a villain leaves an ugly comment before leaving, the cult leader also leaves a derisive comment towards the fallen Ellie.
“Your plan won’t be able to save Ross. If you want to save Ross, you have to come to me in the end. Will you be able to kneel before me to save your childhood friend? “I’m looking forward to it.”
Roel, who was quietly looking at the cult leader who ran away without leaving any trace after saying those words, retrieved the holy sword and looked down at Ellie who was lying on the floor.
In the pool of blood, the obsidian-like eyes were shaking, unable to focus at all.
“… “Ellie.”
There is too much bleeding. It is natural that all limbs except for one arm are gone. Even a person without medical knowledge can easily guess that if something is not done right away, he will die within one minute.
“It’s okay now.”
Roel took out a potion containing the saint’s power from his chest. It was a potion that was even more effective through the hands of alchemy genius Rosaline. Since there was no time, Roel opened the cap of the potion bottle and sprinkled the entire contents on Ellie’s body.
In an instant, the bleeding stopped and the severed limb grew as quickly as a baby growing into an adult in a short period of 5 seconds.
The mixture of blood and pain in Ellie’s breathing had suddenly disappeared. Roel, realizing that the unconscious Ross was putting pressure on her lungs with her weight, pulled Ross out of Ellie.
“ah… .”
When the pressure that had been weighing on her entire body disappeared, a panicked Ellie found Ross in Roel’s hand and instinctively stretched out his hand. Roel smiled bitterly as she looked at her hand and slightly shook her head.
“Get some rest.”
“… huh.”
Ellie stood up, perhaps feeling awkward with her newly grown limbs, and took a moment to move her body to adjust. She then let out a deep sigh. Ellie, who roughly wiped her dried blood-covered face with her hand, smiled faintly at her Roel.
“It’s a mess, isn’t it?”
“huh. “It’s a mess.”
Ellie quietly burst into laughter at Roel’s immediate answer. Roel asked her smiling voice, her voice full of concern.
“Is it difficult?”
After a brief pause, Ellie slightly tilted her head and answered.
“… many.”
“You can give up at any time. Because I worked really hard. “For someone who comes back from the brink of death, giving up is a legitimate right that no one can point out.”
Roel’s voice always contained sincerity. Ellie felt both joy and sadness at the worry and comfort in her voice. But she didn’t have any hesitation or wavering from Ellie.
Because I promised to go to the 10th floor of the labyrinth with Ross.
“You know this because you heard it from Master. Why should I act like this? It’s not because someone told me to do this. This is the path I chose for everyone. For Ross… “Although I will hurt you greatly.”
In response, Roel’s hands turned into fists. Her slightly bowed face looked dark.
“this… Is this really the right answer? I’m still not at all sure. Having experienced endless failures, I am also really afraid of this failure. It’s not me, it’s because you, my lover, are having a hard time. “You just have to watch it until the end.”
Roel’s voice was lower than usual. She herself didn’t seem to be aware of the change, but Ellie, who was quick-witted, could tell that Roel was confused.
Ellie slowly approached Roel and hugged Roel, who was hugging Ross. Ross, sandwiched between the two, was the center of warmth. Ellie said, looking straight into Roel’s blue eyes.
“I trust you two.”
“… .”
At the clear sincerity conveyed in Ellie’s voice, Roel hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth.
“… The orchestrator is dead. There was a terrorist attack at the academy. “It looks like the cult leader took action in advance.”
Ellie gasped at the words that felt like their heart had been kicked. Everyone made sacrifices to save Ross, but those sacrifices were ultimately in vain. Ellie bit her lip, thinking that the leader who was running away had a reason to show his ugly side.
“… are you okay. I’ll find a way somehow. You know my brother. “What a terrible person I am.”
There will also be a magic book left behind by the Adjuster, and with the Golden King’s knowledge, you will definitely be able to find a way to awaken Ross. Ellie was definitely planning to save Ross, even if it meant using forbidden knowledge.
“He’s a damn great person. “Even though you are my younger brother, I sincerely respect you for always growing and developing.”
Ellie smiled happily at Roel’s kind rebuttal. Ellie stretched out her hand and gently stroked Roel’s head and spoke softly.
“So don’t worry… .”
Ellie pushed Roel’s hand away and placed Ross on her back again. Ellie smiled brightly at her Roel as she felt his breath on the back of her head.
“Trust me too, brother. “The two people my brother loves.”
Roel couldn’t respond and just looked at Ellie’s back as she headed towards the door.
*
Ellie opened the door and saw letters floating in front of her eyes.
[You have reached the 6th floor.]
[A new causality is granted to the official challenger of the labyrinth.]
[It is a rest period. In the labyrinth ■■■■■■■■■.]
“… ?”
The letters behind it were not visible. Ellie, who had been tilting her head, soon opened her mouth as the letters appeared again before her eyes.
[All causality has been consumed.]
Ellie was dumbfounded by the message that she had used up all the rewards from the labyrinth even though she had done nothing, so she muttered to herself without realizing it.
“What kind of bullshit is that… ?!”
Suddenly, Ross’ space warehouse opened in front of Ellie. What stuck out from there was Fatulga’s magic book. Ellie knew what it was, but she looked blankly at her spellbook and saw the book open the pages on its own.
and…
“aaah!”
“aaah!”
A person jumped out of Fatulga’s magic book. Ellie, who usually doesn’t scream, was so shocked that she screamed this time. It was surprising that a person jumped out of the book, and it was even more surprising that the person that appeared rolled on the ground several times as if he had been thrown out by an explosion and did not slow down.
“Kwaaa- Do, help me~!!”
Ellie belatedly came to her senses after hearing the man’s urgent screams and used magic to stop the man. The man, who was rolling around like a ball with his long robe swinging, finally stopped and fell flat on the floor.
When Ellie, who was aiming her wand at the dead, motionless figure, fired a weak fire spell, the man who had been lying down like a corpse quickly got up and deflected the magic.
“Hey, change your hand habits! “You haven’t changed anything.”
“… uh?”
Ellie unconsciously checked Ross on her back and turned her head again to look at ‘Ross’ in front of her. There were two Ross. No, the Ross in front of me had the same face and the same voice… The way he spoke seemed like a different person.
The new Ross, who was grumbling and shaking off his clothes, suddenly looked at his empty wrist. Wow, it’s runes… He mumbled and talked to himself at a fast, unintelligible pace, then raised his head and looked straight at Ellie.
“Well, did that happen?”
Seeing Ross shrugging his shoulders and calmly accepting the situation, Ellie asked with a puzzled look on her face.
“Do you understand this situation now?”
“Roughly?”
“Then can you explain for me who doesn’t understand? “I can’t turn my head right now.”
As Ellie spoke sarcastically, Ross smoothed his chin and moved his gaze up and down to check Ellie’s current condition and nodded as if he understood.
“It seems so. It’s really a terrible mess. “I guess you had a hard time?”
“… “Have you forgotten my personality?”
When Ellie pointed her wand and indicated that she could kill the suspicious person at any moment, Ross hurriedly raised his hands and opened his mouth.
“Well, it’s a simple story. I, from another world, was asked for help and was forcibly dragged into this world. It seems that the manager judged the situation to be serious and intervened unreasonably… Haha, is that why you neglected me even after you found me hiding in the labyrinth? “I thought it was given special treatment because it was an independent world.”
Before Ross’ unintelligible muttering continued, Ellie double-checked the unbelievable words she had heard with a dumb expression on her face.
“You are Ross from another world… ?”
“ok. I, what are you talking about, this body… ”
Ross, who had been deliberately pausing to finish his sentence, smiled heartily and suddenly spread his arms wide. After that, a mass of pure white magical power and numerous magic techniques were drawn in the air, splendidly announcing the appearance of the Great Wizard.
“Ta-da-! “He is the king of wizards.”
Colorful fireworks and tons of confetti exploded above Ross’ head.
