The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed

496 – Everyone

A strike filled with the will to end everything. Roel’s holy sword, emitting light, advanced towards the God of Chaos in the best surprise attack, perfectly targeting the timing when the enemy whose roots were shaken could not respond.

―――!

However, in a flash of light, Roel’s holy sword stopped just before it reached the defenseless nape of the neck. The holy sword, which had the power to split the world in half, stopped right before it cut off the enemy’s head, as if it had been blocked by something.

“… !”

Roel looked at the enemy in front of him with wide eyes, without any intention of returning to his bent knees and waist to apply force to the sword.

“Are you surprised? Hehe, it was still an interesting variable. “Honestly, it was unexpected.”

Roel quickly pulled back and quickly assessed the situation. The God of Chaos did not block the holy sword. I didn’t pull my body out or use the power of chaos to spread a shock wave.

Just, just―――.

I just flicked my fingers so lightly that it was barely audible.

The opponent just… The trap that the god and the saint had prepared for a very long time was easily blocked. Roel, who thought this would open a gap for a moment, felt embarrassed.

“It’s the synchronization rate… Is this a trap prepared by a saint? Hehe, since I always descended on Ross, who became the leader of the Chaos Cult, I didn’t think descending on another Ross would be any different. Indeed, aiming for that point… “It’s a great trap.”

Seeing the God of Chaos being truly happy and praising him for designing an exquisite trap, Roel gripped the holy sword even more tightly. The other person is not afraid of death. Rather, they are looking forward to the variable that will lead to their death with a face full of excitement. It is [chaos] itself, which likes to see one’s expectations go astray and wants the flow to be distorted.

The God of Chaos shrugged and proudly explained how he had avoided the trap.

“In an instant, I figured out the structure of Ross’s synchronization rate. I found Ross’ soul, which was on the verge of complete extinction, and used another soul in my body to stop the extinction. Even with the power of God, I only gained an hour… “One hour is enough time to destroy this world.”

Kindness that explains why someone’s hopes could be crushed. Will you drive your opponent to the edge of the cliff and rush towards you, or will you not be able to stop walking backwards and fall straight to the bottom? The God of Chaos liked to force his opponents to make choices and clearly inform them of the despair that those choices brought.

Therefore, the God of Chaos was very much looking forward to watching Roel, who had chosen to continue fighting countless times, quietly fade away in the despair of not being able to defeat him in the end. How much boredom he had endured himself to see it.

With laughter, the God of Chaos made everyone around him hear his voice so that they could place their hope in Roel. You have to have hope to be able to overcome despair.

“Okay, it’s one hour. If it holds out against me for just one hour, its synchronization rate will be completely 0%. Then this body will face the world’s negativity. That will be your only victory over me.”

How hard will Roel work to find the only way to defeat him? Will he give up, lose, and destroy himself endlessly? The God of Chaos, whose stomach felt heavy just thinking about it, snapped his fingers and created an hourglass in the air for everyone to see.

“Even if you’re not Roel, if you can kill me, you can fight together. If this hourglass runs out of sand, you will all die anyway. Throwing away his miserable life so that Roel can wield his sword… “It might help a little.”

The God of Chaos laughed happily as he looked at the people who were already showing despairing expressions.

Luna, who had moved to a city near the capital where the portal was still connected, was heading to the capital in a carriage. Next to the carriage Luna was riding, numerous people and carriages were moving away from the capital. As the emperor said, they laughed at the carriage heading towards the capital where disaster had struck, or even delivered warnings.

However, Ilaid, who volunteered to be the coachman, did not turn the carriage despite the warning. The carriage, which had been moving for a while, eventually stopped. The horse refused to go any further. Even Ilaide’s whipping could not dull the fear of death. In the end, they all decided to get off the carriage and walk towards the capital.

“That… ?”

Ilaide was the first to discover the darkness surrounding the capital. He instinctively knew that great danger lurked in the abyss-like darkness. Just by looking at it, cold sweat broke out down his back in an instant, and he could feel everything in him reacting against it, telling him not to get close to that darkness.

“It’s dangerous. “It’s so dangerous.”

After muttering that, Ilaide turned and looked at Luna.

“There is no way to get to the capital through that darkness. “To approach that darkness any further would be suicidal.”

You will definitely get lost. No, there will be no such thing as a road. It’s not just darkness. This is a place where the abyss is recreated as it is. It must be an environment where taking life feels natural.

Navier and Eunice looked at the capital with a serious look and exhaled with bloodless faces as Ilaid warned them by dropping her hands. They realized it too. Even the internal organs, which have no will, twist themselves for fear of approaching that darkness.

“… “Luna.”

With a face full of anxiety and regret, Navier tried to comfort Luna. But Luna walked past them and moved forward without saying a word. As if she couldn’t see the darkness in front of her.

“Sleep, wait… !”

Ilaide urgently raised her hand to block Luna’s path, but as she looked into Luna’s transparent blue eyes, Ilaide did not even realize that her hand was slowly moving down. She instinctively realized that no matter how dark she was, she would never be able to stop her steps.

“Luna, it’s dangerous up there!”

Eunice, who had been ordered to protect Luna, shouted urgently. However, Eunice, who turned her body and met her gaze, realized that no matter what he said, he could not stop her Luna.

Luna, who bowed to everyone, raised her head and spoke to everyone with a faint smile.

“… “Thank you everyone for coming this far.”

With those words, Luna turned and walked straight toward the darkness of the abyss without any hesitation.

Clutching an old compass with an acorn engraved on it.

“Ugh… !”

“Kwaaak!”

The corpses were piled up, creating a hill made of people. It was a hill created by those who were driven to one place by darkness and did not give up hope against the god who wanted to destroy the world. Among them were Ian and Amber.

“… PL, Labia.”

Rosalyn, who had breasts larger than her head, was rolling around on the floor with a large hole in the middle of her body. The reagent was still in her hand.

“Huh, you idiot! “You always hide behind Roel like a coward and then come forward and say what you can do!”

Looking at Flavia, who was bursting into tears and pouring out her magic to somehow save Rosaline, Rosaline held out the reagent she was holding with difficulty.

“OK, I had to… I hope my reagent suppresses chaos, even if just for a moment… Hehehe, hehehe… Hmm… .”

Rosaline, who was coughing up blood, hurriedly handed over the reagent to Flavia. Rosalind, unable to breathe even her last breath because her throat was clogged with blood, closed her eyes with a faint smile.

“Kill me, I’ll kill you!!!”

Flavia, who rose up from Rosaline’s side with infinite magical power, grabbed the bottle containing the reagent and ran towards the God of Chaos. After crushing Ilya’s arm with her shockwave, the Chaos God held out her hand towards Flavia, who rushed towards her with a wry smile.

“Now that I think about it, you always end up the same way.”

Pow—!

“To die with people you thought were inferior to you. No matter how much I think about it, I like this the best. In the end, it can also teach us the lesson that everyone becomes fair when they die.”

The space itself condensed into one small dot, and Flavia’s running body exploded. Flavia’s flesh and blood splattered over her numerous corpses, mixing in what was already a puddle of her blood.

However, the reagent thrown forward by Flavia, who sensed her own death, was able to reach Ilia safely.

“… “Inhale!”

Ilia, who deflected the reagent flying towards the God of Chaos with the face of the sword, swung the sword along with the reagent towards the God of Chaos. As the reagent exploded, the chaos surrounding the God of Chaos was instantly scattered as if blown away by the wind. Illya unleashed the strongest blow she could at the God of Chaos, who had lost his solid defense.

Kwaaa!

“Huh… … ?!”

At that moment, Ilya’s breathing began to leak. The sensation coming from the tip of the sword conveyed the failure of the attack. Before Ilya could make her next move, her vision was already falling toward the floor. The head and body of the lovely Grand Duchess of the North were separated.

“Hey Iik… !”

“It’s over. “It’s over!”

When Ilya, who had fought the most courageously against the God of Chaos, died, the cowards who did not join and just watched the fight let out heartfelt screams. They realized that their death was just around the corner. Yet, cleverly, they did not give up their last hope.

Everyone’s eyes turned to Roel, the last hope. The incomprehensible hero who just watched his lover die.

“There is not even half of the sand left. It’s strange, everyone has thrown their lives away for you, your only hope, but you just watch me without moving… Was your body frozen with fear? Or did you just not move because you were disappointed that their useless deaths didn’t give me even a moment of relief?”

A question bordering on ridicule.

That hero, Roel… .

“Surely I should have told you…” “Everyone fought for this moment.”

He was clearly smiling.
