Chapter 404 – Motivation
10 minutes ago.
When I saw the scene where Kitz had just arrived, and even managed to get out of the pressure by using the declaration of heart, Dre flinched. It made a windy noise.
“You’re here at last.”
“That person…?”
Millia, who fell under the pressure of Mana and got up, asked cautiously, and Dre wrote her arrogance.
“There is. The main character is a sick guy.”
“The main character’s disease…?”
“There is a guy who appears at the end and is satisfied only when he solves everything. Anyway, since he’s here, we can relax a bit.”
“Uh…”
Even now, there are monsters gliding around?
But Dre had a carefree expression on his face as if it was all over.
He leaned against the wall of a nearby building and sat down as if sliding.
Millia, who watched her quietly, smiled thinly.
“You trust me.”
“Trust me?”
Millia smiles at Dre, who is making a disgusted expression.
Dre gestured to Milia.
“Uh, yes?”
“Hug me.”
“…”
Milia opened and closed her mouth for a moment. And from the side ah? Ashita, who looks at her with a worried face, and Mayal, who struggles to look away.
Dre also felt that the way he spoke was strange and corrected it.
“No. I have to break the restraint placed on you.”
“Ah, ah. Yes.”
I quickly sit down next to the reclining Dre.
Soon, his Ryunar breaks into Milia.
Milia’s ears turned red from the resulting pleasure and heat.
“You root bastard. You destroyed most of the spells inside the Mana Stone, but you restored most of them…”
“…”
“Milia.”
“Yes heh.”
Her tongue twisted
Dre says to a woman about to die of shame.
“I will make you happy.”
“…!”
Milia looks at Dre as her mouth puckers like a goldfish.
“That, that’s…?”
“Isn’t it time for the day to shine in a life that has been filled with misfortune?”
“That, so. That…?”
Now, not only Asita, but Mayal is also looking at Awaha, and Dre said.
“There must be clear proof of Silver Money’s evil deeds. I will completely release all the spells that have been cast on you. I’ll find out with a job, so now only flowers… Why are you doing that?”
“Ah, no… Hehe…”
Instead of being angry, I laughed.
Okay. Originally this kind of person
A person who has an eccentricity that is far from normal people, but has goodness at the root.
Suddenly, Huroot’s words came to mind.
Disability. Or outside.
After all, what did Hurt mean?
The moment I thought…
“Kiaag!”
“Quaaaaa!”
“Oaah!”
The monsters that were far away were descending, aiming precisely for this direction.
The students were taken aback by the existence of monsters running from anywhere in the sky or on the ground.
“What else?”
[Ego!! It’s the second opening day!]
The hologram in the sky opened its mouth after a long time.
[The plan got messed up in many ways! So from now on, I’m going to start the tournament with attributes!]
“What is that bastard…”
Dre stood up and raised his sword again.
[From now on, monsters will constantly regenerate and try to kill you! The conditions for your survival are as I said before! Either kill me or half the participants disappear. Did Milia Lux stop nuclear weapons?]
At the mention of her name, Milia cringes and joins Dre’s side.
[But here’s something to add!! A hero must be strong against trials and tricks!!]
The old wizard with his left arm outstretched laughed horribly.
[To add is my victory condition! And Count Silmoney! If you kill him, this tournament will last forever!!]
“Huh?”
Dre questioned.
What do you mean by that again?
[Ego. Now, not only monsters, but also some annoying beings will be added. Be prepared!]
Beep.
Now, the hologram of Herroot has completely disappeared.
Instead, as if to say, the sky was reflecting the situation of each district.
[From now on, the warp will become even stronger! Be careful!]
Aww!
Warp magic swirls down from the sky
Until now, it was huge enough for a person to pass through, but now it is moderately small.
It is said that it is so large that a person can barely pass through it by shrinking their body.
“… Hey. Can only part of the body be warped?”
“…Yes.”
Rius next to him nodded, and Dre murmured, “If you get swept away by that thing, you’ll be cut off…”
And.
Aaaaagh!
The sound of destruction suddenly came from above.
Pew!!
Despite making a loud noise, something lightly clinging to the building’s outer wall hurts the dust cloud and looks down.
[H.Dre?]
“!”
A clay monster that looks like a muscular man wearing gauntlets…
But Dre noticed that he was a human being.
“Hey, if you have a reason…Fuck it.”
I stopped talking and blocked his fist.
And against any force that surged against it, with the same force.
Quag!
A clash of two destructive forces that spark and create dust.
“Ohhh. Ruinous attribute.”
It wasn’t just a monster.
He was probably quite strong before he changed like this.
[Hey, Dreae…]
“Do you know me? Who are you?”
[Kuuuuu!]
When the monster uses the destructive attribute, Dre confronts him while muttering strangely.
But in between. Warp magic coming from all sides like missiles came close to me and swept away the students.
“Rius!”
“Okay!”
As discussed earlier, Rius, who was desperate to protect Milia, evaded the warp gate by knocking out the monsters swirling around him.
It was still worth doing.
The scariest thing is this person in front of me.
I don’t know what kind of person he was, but when I thought he was quite strong…
Quak.
“?!”
Suddenly, a flash of blue explosion approaches.
That, too, was an attack containing warp spells.
Hurrut had come and used magic targeting individuals.
Clay monster. The moment Dre, who pushed Shunichi hard, cut it off.
Warp rushes aiming for Rius and Milia.
“Ugh…!”
I was trying to avoid it for a while. With the thought of protecting Millia, Rius holds his sword straight… Preparing for the technique he has practiced hundreds of times.
But at that moment, Millia, who closed her eyes tightly, pushed him aside, and Millia was swallowed up by the warp.
“Uh, uh…!”
Shukak!!
[Ugh…!]
Shunichi withdraws as his arms are cut off, and Dre runs towards Rius after kicking him.
Dre grabbed Rius by the back of his neck and pulled him toward him.
“Hey!”
“I’m sorry…!”
“Where’s the injury?! No?!”
“It’s okay.”
“Yes. It’s fine without it.”
With a sigh of relief, Dre glared at Emrepes fighting Kite.
Even if they aimed at Dre, the warp would split and disappear, so they focused on the party.
Dre pointed a finger at the students, swearing at the damn old man.
“I’ll bring Milia, so hold on a little bit.”
“Yeah. Alright Drett!”
“Come on…!”
Actually, there was nothing to worry about.
It was because Ashita’s loose magic arrows and Mayal’s loose fists literally wiped out the monsters.
It could be said that it was the result of Dre’s lecture.
Dre saw that, and if I fought head-on, I would lose…? Muttering, I was caught on the shoulder by a pterodactyl at the moment I tried to push my body beyond the warp.
“What?!”
[Eight days!]
To make matters worse, even Shunichi rushed at him, and the warp closed shortly thereafter.
Rius and Dia watched with worried faces, but Asitana Mayal remained calm.
Because he thought that if it was Dre, she wouldn’t be worried.
Shuak.
Milia, who was transmitted, closed her eyes tightly and examined her body here and there.
Fortunately, she was on the small side of the body, so she was not injured anywhere.
She walks stealthily and looks around her.
Somehow she wasn’t afraid.
She wasn’t optimistic about the situation, but she wasn’t as scared as when she was first dropped by Sers.
That’s because the things Dre told me kept ringing in my ears.
“I will make you happy.”
“Isn’t it time for the day to shine in a life that has been filled with misfortune?”
“Now only walk on the flower path.”
It’s a bit distorted, but what is it?
Isn’t it enough when you feel comfortable?
‘I’ll finish it safely and be happy.’
Recalling Dre’s words, wanting to survive, she applies utmost caution.
And then, she found two people.
The moment I was about to jump out with a happy heart.
“Herut Niim!! Aren’t you too careless!!”
The voice belonged to the man she hated most in the world, so she hurriedly hid in her alley.
‘Herroot…?!’
I just poked my head out a little bit… I see. There, a hologram of Huroot, the size of a man, was grasped. It had risen up.
The face was that of an old man with an outward appearance.
[Careless?]
“Leave me alone for now! Didn’t you promise me! You’d make me a Sers hero!”
[It did?]
“By the way, what’s the reason you say you’re killing me? Are you planning a scenario where I pretend to kill me and stop you?”
At those words, Haruth smiled bitterly.
[Ah. This is just one of several actions.]
“A number of measures?”
Hurroot smiled and nodded at Silver Money Burr, who blinked.
[Measures to bring out eight days. He wants to kill you with his own hands, so he will move towards you in a hurry if I say I will.]
“…I absolutely refuse. That’s crazy.”
My thigh still hurt.
[I’m hurt. I’ll fix that.]
Paaah.
The energy of mana eased the pain, but the real money still refused.
“No! There must be another better way!”
[Good way? Which?]
“I-I didn’t think of that…But making me a hero would be a piece of cake for Huroot-sama…”
[By the way.]
Harut grinned.
[Wouldn’t a hero be the most dramatic of a dead hero…?]
“…”
Gulp. Even Milia could hear Silver Money Burr swallowing her spittle.
“What…”
[I never said it would make you a hero alive.]
“Hey, promise…”
[It’s not different. Even if it’s different, what will you tell me, after cheating countless times so far? Huh?]
Real money backed away from the pressure.
In fact, there is no point in running away.
Currently, here in Sers, no matter how much you run away, if Herroot sets his mind to it, no matter how much you run away, you will be crushed like a bug.
[Give me a chance.]
“…”
What I handed to Silmoney was a switch the size of a skipping rope handle.
“This…?”
[This is the work of my conversion to kill eight days.]
Silver Money looked down at the switch Hurt gave her and broke into a cold sweat before asking.
“What is this?”
[I would have said that before. Watching the fight is the most fun…]
“…”
[Press this when you close the distance to Dre to more than 30cm. Then you live and he must die. I can swear this on the honor of Emrepes.]
Looking in disbelief, Herrut continued his explanation.
[If you use it, it will transfer eight days to ‘somewhere’. There is an existence that will kill eight days there. As I said before, the condition is when you are within 30cm or more.]
“Ha, but…!’
If he did, he might be killed as soon as he presses it.
Hurrut knows. Know. He smiled kindly while doing so.
“But what does that have to do with me?”
“…”
[Still, if you push too hard, you won’t be motivated. I swear on my mana, if you succeed in this mission, I will take responsibility and make you a hero alive and well. Of course, we will cooperate in the future.]
Cooperation.
Only then did the fire return to Real Money’s eyes.
[Keuk. It’s like a merchant. Sensitive to profit.]
“…”
[However, there is another thing to be aware of. If you find out what the switch is for, you’ll die.]
“What, what?!”
[Oh yes. Not now.]
A thunderbolt struck the real mother who was angry and then relieved.
“Quaaaaagh!”
Seeing the scattered pig count, Herroot laughed.
[It will be like that from now on. If you talk about it for no reason and then eight days find out about its existence… It’ll be annoying.]
“Uh, uh… If it’s you, you don’t have to do anything like this. You can kill eight people yourself, right?”
[My body is fighting a true hero, so I can’t afford it, and I have eight days…]
Hur Root stopped talking and his face contorted in displeasure.
[I don’t know why I have to tell you this. After all, the options are fixed. Isn’t it?]
“Uh, hehe…!”
[It was always like that. People are forced to make choices, and at least you have made your fortune by choosing to sacrifice others. Is not it.]
“…”
[This time, it will be just like that. Whoop whoop… Eight days soon… Huh?]
Huroot tilted his head. The reason is that the real money server suddenly disappeared.
[Teleport… Not. Ryunar. Okay. Right. Kkkk…]
Hurt laughed deeply and said.
[Milia. It seems your brother has moved.]
“…”
Milia came out from behind the wall, not surprised.
He didn’t think that Harut wouldn’t know what he was hiding anyway.
In the first place, it must have been because of his arrangement that I came here.
[Did I tell you before? The time to choose will come.]
“…”
[Now is the time. Ah. I swear… Even if you say you’ll stay still, I won’t do anything.]
Looking at the eyes of disbelief, Hurrut smiled bitterly.
[Is there any reason for me to tell a lie? By the way, the magic that makes you die over time was a lie for dramatic production. So even if you don’t tell me what you just saw and stay still, you can survive even if eight days die.]
“Ugh…”
[You know what I mean by choice.]
I knew.
He…Was asking me to choose whether to save Dre now or pretend I didn’t see him.
If Silmoney Burr says she has the means to kill him… Her Mana Stone embedded in her Millia will kill her.
[You said that your unhappy life was because you couldn’t throw away your precious things.]
“…”
The old demon wizard whispers sweetly to the silent Milia.
[Let’s throw away something precious for the first time this time.]
Ego. I’ll make a passage that connects them.
Swoop.
After saying the devil’s temptation, the hologram disappeared and Miria sat down.
There was only one portal left in front of her, swirling in blue.
“Uh, what, what…”
“Welcome, Count.”
At the sound of her familiar voice, Silver Money turned her head.
There was his butler, who respectfully put his right hand on his chest and his left hand on his back, bowing deeply.
“Stillman. What is this…?”
“How is it?”
The man who walks out of the dark is also a man familiar to real money.
The man who used his power to become a participant in the hero’s gaze finals this time. Milia’s younger sister Tida.
“Oh, oh…!”
Still, he clenched his fists at the thought that he had finally formed his own side.
Put them up as shields to distract Dre, then hit the switch…
“…”
Then a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
“You guys, how are you here as if you’ve been waiting? By any chance… Have you… Colluded with Herruth?”
The butler shook his head at him mentioning the frightening possibility.
“It can’t be. Rather, thanks to that, the long-awaited work almost fell through.”
“…Then, you… How do you guys?”
“The ring.”
The butler pointed to one of the countless rings on Silmoney’s finger.
“If you wear it, it’s once, but the one wearing the brother ring can call you right away.”
“You’re calling?”
I didn’t know that at all. Didn’t hear.
Was it hidden for loyalty without the owner knowing to use it in times of crisis?
No, no.
He knows those eyes.
What I had been preparing for a long time was a success… Joy.
Besides, isn’t Ty also wearing the same ring?
At Greedo, who is staring at him, Ty smiles and flicks the ring on his finger.
“Mine can’t call you out. However, I can communicate with you and warp to you.”
“…Insolent bastard!”
The real mother suddenly got angry.
Little Tai used to weep, frightened by his adversity. He relied on that memory to get angry.
“How dare you make fun of such an insignificant mouth…!”
“…Keukheop.”
“Ugh.”
Tai and the butler, who was dazed for a moment, twisted their mouths and burst into laughter.
“Look Mister! Yaaa! I’m so grateful!”
“That’s right. It’s even respectful to go through trash like this.”
You feel the atmosphere getting weirder, and Greedo’s voice trembles.
“…M-You haven’t forgotten the spell embedded in the Mana Stone, right? Tai. Listen to me. Then, forget this arrogance now, and bring you immense wealth and honor…”
“What’s a pig that can’t even take care of honor? Huh?”
Ty strides forward, and Silver Money, who stumbles and steps backwards.
“Oh, don’t come! Don’t come! Mana Stone! I’m going to activate it! Do you remember?! Every time the stone was activated, I cried and cried in pain…!”
“Yes. Every time I remember.”
Disgust lingers in every syllable of Ty’s voice.
“Every time that happened, my sister was more sick and scared of herself, but he took care of me.”
“…Uh, you ungrateful bastard! I’ll feed you…”
“If it wasn’t for a bastard like you, we men would have lived happily. You bastard!!”
Oops!
“Keah!”
Silmoney, whose nose was broken by the kick, rolled on the ground.
“S-Stillman! Stillmaan!! What do you want! Money?! Money?! Women! I like women too. I’ll give you my daughter! So stop him! Stop…”
“Unfortunately I don’t have the authority to stop tying.”
“What are you talking about…! I put a mana stone in…! Didn’t the Thai guy leave you to manage it!”
Tai sighed.
“Yes, who the hell was the person who put the mana stones in me and managed them? You stupid bastard.”
“…”
The real mother forgot to speak.
“In the first place, I didn’t even get a mana stone stuck.
“…Wait. What…”
Silver, trembling, pointed at Steelman with his finger.
“That guy! He sold out your father! But what does he believe in…”
“Yes. I sold it.”
Steelman, who spoke bitterly, twisted the corners of his mouth.
“Tai’s father and my friend told me that day. Before going to the teenage family, they would both die. So… Let’s act.”
“…”
“You. Trash like you, if you show faithfulness to your desires, you are considered to be of the same kind and trust people. So I sold out my friends and pretended to be obsessed with money and fame. It wasn’t difficult. Will there be?”
Stillman laughed as if he was self-deprecating.
“…Hey, hey Ty! That son of a bitch put a mana stone in your sister…”
“It was because of your orders.”
Silver Money looked around.
I can’t see a way out…
Suddenly, they run up to the wall of the building and have nowhere to run.
“This, this garbage! Your sister is suffering, but you were comforted by Milia who is really suffering while acting…”
Awesome.
“Kuaaaaa!!”
Trampling his ankle, Tai raises his sword.
“You talk too much.”
“Oh, ah ah! That’s it! Stop! Stop! Yeah. Okay! I’m wrong! Stop … !!!
“My father’s naked face. I still remember it. It reminds me of my dreams…”
Ty gritted his teeth and reached out his hand.
“You, too, die like that.”
“Hey hee hee!”
“Tai a minute.”
Tie hesitated at Stillman’s restraint, and a blush appeared on Real Money’s face.
And Steelman laughed.
“You promised to do it together.”
“Sorry, mister.”
This time both hands reach out at the same time.
Sil Money Burr shouted at the top of her voice as she cried at the approaching hands aiming at her eyes.
“Uhhhhh!”
“Yeah.”
“!!”
“?!”
“Uh…?”
The three men looked around at the sudden voice.
That voice…A familiar voice.
It was Dre’s.
“Where… Huh?!”
A voice was coming from the sky.
There, Dre, arms crossed, was looking down at them, caught by the pterodactyl monster’s feet.
Flop. Flop.
With only the quiet flapping of wings resounding, Dre tilted his head, then ah! Then he clapped.
“Good twist! Clap clap clap”
“…”
“…”
“Ikil. Drop me down.”
[Caw.]
The pterosaur nodded and let go of his shoulder, and Dre landed nicely between Sylver and Tie.
Tai aims his sword and is perplexed, Dre looks up unconcerned.
“Goodbye Ikil~”
[Cow~]
A pterosaur leaves after shaking his hand.
Said Dre, who cleared his throat as the three men were speechless.
“Hi?”
Like that. Return to the original situation.
