The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed

475 – Clown

Ellie immediately prepared to enter the labyrinth. Her priority was to wake Ross from his unconscious state, so there was no reason to delay her time. However, the self-proclaimed Labyrinthian who offered to give her a ride on the bus was casting her gaze at Ellie with a somewhat relaxed expression.

Ellie, feeling those gazes, turned around and asked with a face full of puzzlement.

“… What are you doing? “Weren’t you trying to enter the labyrinth to get ingredients to wake Ross up right now?”

In response to Ellie’s questioning question, Ross shrugged his shoulders and spoke in a relaxed manner.

“If you act hastily, accidents can happen. I thought about it for a moment… I guess you need to become a little stronger. “The labyrinth is such a dangerous place that even Roel gave up on conquering it based on pure ‘skill’ alone.”

It made sense. I was able to nod my head because Ellie always valued safety and minimizing variables, but the situation was different now.

“… “Is there time for that?”

Compared to Ellie, the great wizard of other worlds, the growth rate of the current Ellie was at an incredible level. It was natural that growing further here would take a huge amount of time.

Then, when Ellie, who was worried that the religious leader might get the Holy Grail first, showed signs of hesitation, Ross answered with a confident voice.

“No, there is plenty of time. Because this was the final step your future self had reached. “If you just understand the principles, Ellie, a genius with the talent of an archmage, will definitely be able to achieve enlightenment.”

Ross smiled strangely at Ellie, who was looking at him with narrowed eyes as if telling him not to flatter her. That smile is a completely different kind of smile than the Ross that Ellie knew… Rather, it didn’t feel unfamiliar at all, so Ellie kept her mouth shut.

“You can do it. This method, which is the basis of my magic, was created by you. Rather, it’s strange that I can’t do it. “Because there is a possibility that it is your specialty.”

When the King of Wizards said this, Ellie, who bit her lip and thought for a while, had no choice but to be persuaded in the end. Ellie asked in her coy voice, her large eyes increasing in size as if to reveal her own interest at her glance.

“What is that method?”

“To put it simply, it should be said that this is the final stage of your specialty, synthesis magic.”

“Synthetic magic… ?!”

Instead of opening his mouth for further explanation, Ross raised his hand and instantly created a huge magic spell around Ellie and himself. Ellie, trapped in the spell with her archetypal form, observed the spell with her completely immersed face, her eyes shining and her mouth open.

“… I kept wondering. “I wonder if he can perfectly create such a huge magic trick in such an instant without even using a staff.”

Eli looked away from the magic ceremony and looked at Ross. Ross lowered his hand to remove the spell, raised the corner of his mouth, and slowly shook his head.

“This is not implementation. “It’s the concept of summoning the completed spell itself.”

“Summoning a spell… ?”

Ellie frowned unconsciously at the sight of Ross confidently talking about an impossible concept. If it were possible to summon a pre-designed spell and use it immediately, the laws of magic themselves would change due to its usefulness and convenience.

However, the reason so many wizards still use wands is because the concept was an impossible theory that could not be realized. Because it was impossible to [preserve] the magic technique as is. It might be possible for an archmage to realize it, but considering the consumption of magic power, there was no reason to use it due to extreme inefficiency.

“Your world uses chantless magic as an implementation of magic using a staff. But in my world, I found a replacement for the wand. “It’s about replacing what’s external with what’s internal.”

As he watched his transparent obsidian eyes become brighter as he continued speaking, the King of Wizards felt both bitter longing and joy for the first time in a long time.

“It was used by modifying the blood vessels through which magical energy passes inside the body. Should I call it a kind of circuit diagram concept? Of course, it is impossible to summon a spell with this alone. However, if you use the principle of synthesis magic, which can [synthesize] two different magic techniques into one… [Synthesis] is possible by combining two unfinished techniques into one.”

As the King of Wizards slowly increased magical power throughout his body, a pink circuit imitating the circuit diagram imprinted on his body emerged. Just by seeing it with his own eyes, Ellie was able to understand the concept of the circuit diagram explained by the Wizard King.

It was inevitable because it was completely consistent with the direction he had been researching and pursuing his life’s goal.

The magic power that was slowly released came together as one. Surprisingly, what was created by overlapping numerous techniques was a pink lotus flower. Ellie could only stare dumbly at the state where a picture was being drawn using only techniques.

“It was you who made me, who lacked talent, into an archmage. So this time, I’ll make you an archmage.”

As Ellie said that and held out her palm with a pink lotus flower floating in it, Ellie hesitated for a moment and then slowly stretched out her hand. She grabbed his wrist as their fingertips brushed past each other.

As the pink lotus flower disappeared between the gaps between the folded hands, Ellie tried not to miss any of Ross’s powerful force pushing through her wrist.

“Add your magic power to the place where my magic power went.”

The spot where Ross’s magic passed left a tingling sensation, as if a muscle was spasming. Ellie, who followed her trail and repeatedly applied her magic power as Ross advised, was able to feel the path of her magic left behind in her own body.

“This is… .”

Ellie let go of her wrist and swung her wand to use magic. The speed at which techniques are implemented, the time at which magical energy is released, and the magic is completed has been overwhelmingly improved.

Should I say it is the difference in transmission volume? Even though it was the same body, it felt like the speed at which magical power was transmitted to the staff was hundreds of times different just because the path was cleared. Ellie felt a chill go beyond her goosebumps.

“It’s too early to be satisfied with that much.”

Ellie was annoyed because she felt excited by Ross’s stiff expression, but she couldn’t contain her curiosity.

“… “Is it possible for me to become stronger here?”

“okay. “The most important thing is missing.”

Seeing Ross’ serious look, Ellie swallowed her saliva without realizing it.

“What, what… ?”

“Now use the circuit diagram to release magical power.”

Without any doubt, Ellie immediately used the circuit diagram to release magical power. Ross watched as a black light circuit emerged, imitating the circuit diagram imprinted on Ellie’s body as Ross had shown her a moment ago, and said as she nodded.

“What happens next is important.”

Ellie nodded at the serious voice and concentrated as much as she could. Opportunities like this to receive advice from an archmage are rare. Wasting even a little bit of precious time was a disservice to oneself.

As Ellie’s obsidian eyes lit up as if she would not miss even the slightest movement, Ross slowly made a V shape with his hands and moved them near his temples.

“… ?”

Ross, who closed one eye and covered one corner of his mouth with his tongue as if trying to show cuteness, muttered in an uncomfortable, high-pitched voice as if he was ventriloquizing.

“And I’m talking while maintaining this posture. Purin Purin~! The power of magic! A beautiful and lovely magical girl! “The power of love for Ellie— ahhh!!!”

Ross, who was grabbed by Ellie’s cheek, tried to run away, but he only screamed because he thought he wouldn’t let go until his cheek was torn off.

“Ahhh! Argh!!!”

Seeing Ross making a fuss, Ellie let out a deep sigh and let go of the cheek she was holding. There was nothing like an archmage in Ross, who was rubbing his cheek with his fingernail marks still intact and with tears in his eyes.

“… Tell me, you just made it up.”

Ross, who was rubbing his red cheeks at Ellie’s cold voice, stopped making a fuss and burst into laughter.

“After all, you can’t fool the quick-witted Ellie with shallow water like this. “I learned something again.”

“If you’re trying to pass it off as if it was a test… “I know it will hurt more.”

When Ellie’s fist came close to his face, Ross immediately apologized without the slightest hesitation.

“I’m sorry! We apologize! It was a joke! Please forgive me!!!”

Despite Ross’ passionate apology, Ellie ended up putting a lump on Ross’ head. As she watched Ross making a fuss again after receiving the honey balm, Ellie smiled without knowing it.

The king of wizards who makes a fuss and is not serious, making jokes and picking out the right things to do. This was another method of comfort given by Ross from another world. Make a fool of yourself to lighten the mood and change the other person’s seriousness into cheerfulness.

The Ross of this world that Ellie knew had the personality of quietly comforting her and staying by her side even though she pretended not to notice. It was a completely different comfort, but both of them had the same feelings for Ellie.

There was no way Ellie, who was quick-witted, would not know that fact. No, she would never have been able to hit Ellie if Ross wanted to in the first place, no matter how hard he tried. Rather, it was natural for Ellie to tremble in fear at the gap in her magic.

However, Ellie has not felt any discomfort or difference in the time she has been with the Wizard King. She was just annoyed and dumbfounded by her childish and immature behavior.

All thanks to Ross’s different way of caring.

Knowing that, Ellie felt like she couldn’t dislike Ross, who had no trace of seriousness.

“Maybe it’s because you’re Ross too, but you look so stupid.”

Ross, whose cheek turned red at Ellie’s words, rubbed the lump and laughed like an idiot. Then she turned her gaze to Ross, who had suddenly lost her senses, and spoke firmly.

“But I guess I’m smarter?”

“why? “Because he’s the king of wizards?”

The Wizard King turned his head and looked straight at Ellie and smiled.

“The reason is top secret!”

Ellie sighed with a look of bewilderment at the answer.

“I guess you can’t really think of any excuses.”

However, the Wizard King just laughed like an idiot despite Ellie’s suspicious gaze. He thought he really was a little smarter. The onlookers watching his journey were idiots, idiots, assholes, pong pong… I said all sorts of things, but

“If you want to know the reason, just repeat what I did earlier and I can tell you – Oppose violence! “No to violence!!!”

So much so that he can act like a fool without any hesitation even in front of Ellie in another world… .

Because, unlike Ross in this world, the King of Wizards did not give up his unrequited love for Ellie until the end.
