I heard a rattle of the brakes between the rattan and the elevator rails.
"Hmm, is it already over?"
From the elevators came Danang and Albert.
Well, why is Albert?
"Theodora!"
Other than my doubts, Albert saw the falling Theodora and changed his blood and ran up.
"It's okay. The wound is deep but the life is gone."
"……Was good"
Apparently Albert was with Teodora.
I'd like to hear more about what happened, including Ales.
Danang looks surprised at the crying hero.
"Da Nang, we just saved. Thank you."
"I don't want to thank you, it was later and worse."
"I don't need an apology, Sisandan ... Ares is dead.
"Really"
Me and Da Nang looked at Ares no longer moving, but never smiled to win.
"Red! Rooty! Come here!"
At that time, a voice close to Litt's scream resounds in the hall.
"My power cannot reach Tise's wounds! Quickly!"
Rooty, who was crying in my arms, looked surprised and ran immediately to Tise without wiping his tears.
Of course, I and Da Nang also run.
"Tise ...!"
Tise's face is pale and unconscious. Clothes stained red with blood are painful.
"Breathing and pulse stopped!"
Ritt's eyes were even tears. They understand that their magic cannot help.
"Leave it to me"
Rooty holds his right hand and concentrates his consciousness.
The hero's skill, “Healing Hands,” “regenerates” the human body even from moribund conditions. Different from general "cure", even skill level 1 is a non-standard skill equivalent to advanced law.
In addition, the effect jumps further depending on the skill level. Even if Lit's spiritual healing does not reach, Rooty should be able to cure Tise.
But Lutey couldn't do anything while holding his hand.
"Why ... I can't touch bless!"
"To bless you? Maybe blessing has temporarily stopped functioning as a result of the runaway !?"
When I heard from Wild Elves about secret drugs, I remembered that if I used too many drugs to control blessing, she could sleep. Sleeping probably means temporarily losing power.
In a different situation, Luti is probably temporarily losing his power.
"Why, why? ... I've been swinging me all the time and taking you out to fights you didn't want, and it's you who hurt Tise ... It is! "
Rooty shouted. However, no matter how much Luty seeks the power of the brave, she tears down and pleads, she cannot respond.
"Rooty ..."
In front of us, Tise's life is lost without a way to do it.
He leaned his head and knocked Tise's hand with both arms many times to shake Tise.
However, Tise sees Uge Uge and does not smile as usual.
"Oh, hey, are you heroes? Can't you manage!"
Godwin shouts at us. But neither Danang nor I have the power to save Tise.
"I don't want to, at last I thought I could make a friend, but I did it, I'm with this hand !!!"
Lutey is crying, holding Tise's body. But I can't do anything.
If I have a blessing that can use magic, not a "guide" ...!
"I'll cure"
I heard a voice from behind.
Theodora supported by Albert.
"Theodora ..."
"I am a priest. It is natural to reach out to the injured."
Me and Danang move sideways, making way for Theodora.
"Can you trust me?"
Godwin said anxiously. From Godwin's perspective, it's natural because he suddenly appeared and hunted down to the point where he and Ritt were killed.
"Oh, okay."
But I affirmed it. I know Teodora well. She will never harm Tise here.
"Gideon, Danang. Thank you for your trust."
Theodora laughed weakly and sat by Tise and Luti with the help of Albert.
"Regenate"
When Teodora invokes advanced law, Tise's body is wrapped in warm light.
Painful wounds were occupied, and the pale face turned reddish.
And
"The pulse has returned ...!"
Litte, holding Tise's arm, shouted with a bright expression.
"Breathing too"
Rooty, with her cheeks close to Tise's face, says in a tearful voice.
Tise was saved!
"It's OK"
After the judicial invocation, Theodora exhales deeply with her shivering lips and weakens to deposit Albert's weight.
"I'm sorry Albert. The hero has a real sadness and shows me a sad face."
"Thank you for your own treatment! I have no cure potion anymore."
However, Theodora did not try to heal his wounds and looked at Luti with weak eyes.
"I wouldn't say forgive me. I still thought I had to."
"why"
"... Can you continue the brave if you lose your urge to bless?"
“…………”
"I'm not going to blame you, it's a matter of course. You're the only one in us who has been forced to fight you. Who can blame you for stopping your journey?"
"I didn't think Theodora would say that."
Theodora fell down forcelessly.
"After Gideon escaped, I wondered why you didn't chase Gideon."
“…………”
"It doesn't matter to the Hero's journey? Not exactly. Gideon's gone, our party was falling apart. The party wouldn't be far off, and you knew that. Is it? "
"Yes"
"Then I could have followed Gideon because I had trouble traveling, but I couldn't ... I was thinking for a while why."
Theodora smiles snorting.
"There is no longer any need for Ares, Danang, me, and Gideon to be a" hero ". We will break up the party, but the" hero "will eat nothing and drink nothing, I don't sleep, I don't get tired, I just keep on going. Even being on our journey was the mercy of the bravery of the Brave.
"... yeah"
Rooty whispered, but nodded.
Is that so. I thought I was in the footsteps of the brave party, but ... haven't everyone already been in the same footsteps as already from Routy?
"If we continued our journey, it would have been time for the 'Brave' to continue on his own without rest. Who would want such a journey. No one in desperate days would travel in the cold wilderness of the dark continent with no companions. But "The Brave" is not afraid or desperate ... I've finally noticed my dullness, "What a cruel fate it is."
"Why then?"
"That's why you will never continue the journey of the hero. It is a matter of course. You have to protect the world that compels such a journey. Considering that so naturally ... But still the world can save the world That's why I thought we should protect this world, even at the expense of one girl, and that's why Demis created blessing for the Brave. That was my conclusion as a priest. But even if you kill your will, I will try to make you live as a "hero". "
Contrary to words, Theodora's expression was painful. I was hurt by my words.
"Theodora, but I"
"I lost, so I'm fine. I have nothing to force you anymore. I want you to live freely and happily."
While saying so, Theodora closed her eyes.
"If you can't forgive me, you can kill me. I know I've done just that. I have betrayed you. I want to take away the lives of your loved ones, and my important friends. I'm not allowed. "
In the arm of Rooty, Tise glanced slightly. Proof of living.
Teodora's mouth smiled slightly.
"I'm glad to save your friend at the end ... I've always been good, but could it help a little?"
Rooty remains silent.
"Well, please wait!"
Then, Albert shouts.
"Oh, it may not be a good thing to say something like me! I saved the Reds because Teodora helped Danang! I'm sorry, please forgive Theodora Please! "
"Albert ..."
Albert, whose pride was high, bows for others. It was an unexpected sight.
"I've always wanted to be a hero. I want to be a hero whose choices determine the fate of the world. I longed for you. But the choices that determine the fate of the world are so painful. did not think"
Albert continues his words with his head down.
"Theodora has been suffering all the time. She has helped Danang and her actions are inconsistent ... but theodora doesn't act for herself, that's for sure. However, if he suffers from the world, religion and friendship, if he thinks of himself, he will not hurt the heroes and red whom he reveres! That's why I don't mean to be forgiven, but Teodora-san also suffered a bad behavior, just let me know! "
Albert pleaded with Luti with a desperate look. Maybe that was the word I wanted to be a hero than anyone else, because I'm a non-hero Albert.
Rooty stared at Albert without saying anything.
At that time, Tise in Luti's arm opened his eyes.
"Luty ... it was safe."
"Tise !? Did you notice?"
Tise doesn't seem to be in good shape yet, but her blood color is good and she will be able to move again after a short rest.
Seeing that Tise opened her eyes, Uge Uge jumped happily over Tise's shoulder.
Seeing Uge Uge dancing on his shoulders, Tise smiled with a smile.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"I can't do anything to worry about you, don't apologize ... I'm glad I'm safe and good, hurt you"
Rooty gently hugged Tise's body and was pleased with her safety.
Of course, I'm really happy. Litt is taking my hand and laughing.
"……All right"
Rooty softened her expression and smiled at Albert and Theodora.
"Teodra helped Tise. Thank you. I'm fine."
With that said, Luti looks at me and Litt.
"To me, Tise is an important friend. Thanks for helping."
"It's also for me. And Tise covered me and hurt me.
Rooty nodded with our words.
"Nobody is resentful of you, so I won't hurt you ... but"
Rooty looked down and apologized, but continued clearly and intentionally.
"I'm not going to return to 'the brave' at least now."
Clear rejection.
Hearing the words, Theodora simply nodded quietly.
Thus, the battle at the archeological site of the ancient elf ended.
We all rested today and decided to return to Zoltan the next morning.
