The Traveling Hero Won’t Let the Innkeeper’s Son Escape

At first, Ed was freaking out and sucking on magic, but thanks to seven opponents, he was able to control his magic suction perfectly in this short time. At the end of the day, he also showed advanced moves to absorb only the magic of the Shadow Demon slightly from a slightly remote position.

I guess I still need experience with everything. In the future, I thought that I might not have to feel sad because I was swayed by my powers.

"Ruth, it's over!

"Tired, Ed! That's great!

"Thanks to Ruth!

Embrace Ed, who jumped happily.

(Oh, she's getting cute)

Soon I realized Ed's hard expression was completely childish and soft. The language is the same, but my voice is so young that I think this might be adorable.

"Is the demon raid over……?

The residents of the mansion, who had always been there for me, slowly approached me away from the edge of the room to see how the Ruths were doing.

Though he was surprised by the situation, they were not injured and all seemed safe and Ruth lowered his chest. Iban, whose drunkenness was turning, seems to have already woken up.

(Good thing we all finished dealing with the demon while we were safe)

Given the last tragedy, I'm more than happy to see everyone safe at this hour.

"That's amazing, both of you, in the face of such a fearful demon... especially even though Mr. Ruth is a woman..."

"Mm, it's not uncommon for women to fight in villages. So."

"Ruth, your sister was so cool! It's amazing how Ed makes it look like he's amazing!

"Well... not really."

As he loosened his cheeks to Ed and Tiana's cute appearance, Benno opened the door to the room and started checking his surroundings.

"The demons are gone, but you remain dark in the mansion. Is there anything else yet?

"In the first place, why did the lamp stop turning on… I can't even imagine losing magic all at once"

"Filling doesn't light up means there's probably a cause for something else, not the lamp itself"

Everyone leaned their necks in the mansion where the demons of the shadows disappeared but never became brighter.

"……… really, nothing is going to happen."

I believed that if we defeated the Shadow Demon, something would surely happen, but after all this time, no change appeared. Someone will no longer die, but Ruth and the others cannot return to reality if they are left behind.

(Yes, let's see what's going on with the front door arr...!

The last time a shadow demon appeared, the end of the doorway was unlikely darkness. Before that, the Shadow Demon tried to take all the members of the Mansion, so I'm pretty sure there's something ahead.

"Um, I'm in the mansion..."

But before Ruth made a proposal for a search, a change came to the mansion itself.

The whole building sounds like a pastry and a crack.

"Wow!"

"Gee!

At the same time, the ground shakes heavily and the mansion begins to distort.

Whatever you've done, you never broke. The dishes crack, the chandelier falls, and the building material starts to collapse from the ceiling. It's like we solved the magic that was on this mansion.

"What!?

"What, how, wow!?

When everyone was screaming, some of the walls in the room peeled off.

It was like peeling off a plate. Beyond that, darkness was spreading -

"What the fuck!? That!? What's going on!?

Chester's cry represented everyone's thoughts.

Where the walls in the mansion are broken, there can't normally be darkness or anything beyond that. This room is all the more so because it's behind the mansion. Yet beyond the room, there was a darkness that was invisible to any light. In this darkness, Ruth looked familiar.

(Maybe this is the one that was at the front door!?

In all directions, there must have been a front door at the end of the stripped wall. That darkness has spread and reached this point, the possibility is well thought out.

That's why I felt terrified about that darkness. Darkness deeper than night can only be seen as the way to lead oneself to “nil”. My instinct as a creature complains that I shouldn't go ahead.

(Maybe what I did was a failure!?

Defeat all the demons of the shadows and something will grab you back in the real world, Ruth believed so.

But I began to wonder if maybe I'd gone the wrong way.

"Gentlemen, let's get out of the room for one second. Not like this."

"Wow! It sucks!"

"Chester!"

Before Ruth said to escape, a sudden strong wind broke out in the room, which was windless.

Starting with light cloths and wall hangings, light chairs, tables, etc. can be seen sucked into the darkness one after the other. Gradually more power was absorbed, and the body began to rise slightly.

"Please get caught somewhere!

We all resisted Ed's voice looking for something to grasp on the spot. But there are no columns indoors, so stick to the edges of the walls and doors.

"Wow! Help! Help!

"Mr. Chester!

"Wait, Chester, now, whoa!?

"Uh-oh!

"Grandpa Iban, Mr. Chester!

Chester was caught critically on the border between darkness and indoors. Iban moved to help him like that, but on the contrary, he slipped his hand and was sucked into the darkness with Chester to go. The two voices soon cease to be heard.

(Not good, not good! What shall we do!? What shall we do!?

They all lost their voices to the two people who vanished into the darkness in an instant. Even while doing so, the power of the wind increases and becomes more difficult to support the body with the power of the fingers step by step.

"No more... Oh, come on!

"Dorte!

"Mr. Benno, Mr. Dorte!

Dorthe was sucked in without being stuck, and Beno, who noticed it, let go of his hand and disappeared into the darkness.

"Father."

"T., Anna...... Ugh!

"Yikes!"

"Tiana, Mr. Dickhout!

Dickhout, who endured to the end, also didn't seem to have arms while holding Tiana. My daughter and I have been sucked into the dark and gone.

"Ah... ah..."

Ruth and Ed managed to get caught by the wall and endure it, but with each passing of time the room itself begins to be swallowed up by the darkness as well. We'll both be sucked into the darkness sooner or later as we are.

(Because I told you to defeat all Shadow Demons!? So this is what happened!? Because of me?

Ruth regretted his actions. I thought moving forward would get something, but I was wondering if it would have caused the worst. The way the mansion began to collapse was as unusual as that.

"Kuh!"

Ruth's body begins to float completely with the force of the wind, as if the mansion were inclined. At the same time, the decoration of the walls that had been caught began to peel off.

"Ruth! Come here!

"Ed, no! If you reach this way."

Thanks to his small body, Ed was hidden in the outpouring of the wall. Yet he reaches out to help Ruth. I shook my head and denied that hand, but Ed didn't stop reaching. But I don't know what he thinks.

"Uh-oh!

"Ruth!

The wind gained momentum, lifting from body to body, and Ruth was sucked into the darkness.

I heard Ed screaming, but my consciousness was taken away in the darkness.

------------

The dark world was spreading. In a world where there is no top or bottom, Ruth drifts in the water.

(What's going to happen... this?

It was impossible to take a favourable view of this situation. Because no matter what I think, I don't think I could have gotten out of that world.

I just think I broke the world I was building and created a distortion. If you're going to say it in the game, repeat your unscrupulous behavior and you can't get out between walls called textures, that's the situation. Normally, it is a reset project.

(Ha, I can't believe previous life games come out at times like this...)

I laughed bitterly at my unnerving thoughts.

No, I couldn't have kept my spirit in this dark world without laughing bitterly and soothing it. That much of the darkness that surrounded me was deeply cold and creepy. When I was thinking about normal things, I couldn't stand the tranquillity and atmosphere, and I was going to scream crazy.

(Alec………)

The consciousness that was distracting me from thinking about bad things also leans toward the worse without ever being thrown into the darkness. Can we get out of this place, what happened to Ed, and are the other members safe? Will I see Alec again? Such anxiety struck Ruth.

'- I think I did my best, but I knew I was a normal person.'

But suddenly, I heard a man in Ruth's ear. I think I've heard a habitual way of talking somewhere, but I can't recall clearly in my consciousness dominated and clouded by darkness.

"But you want me to try harder. I don't want to..."

It sounds like you're seriously lost, and then some other HR-like, conflicting voice falls on Ruth's head.

'So..................... and let me just give you a little help -'

The relaxed way of speaking suddenly turned into a majestic sound.

As soon as that happens, a small light begins to be seen in the darkness that loses even the sense of equilibrium.

(Who...?

The light gradually mimics the shape of a person. The skeleton looks like a man but his hair is long and he looks like a woman for some reason. I felt Ruth looked familiar to someone who seemed to transcend her gender. But I can't remember who it is.

The light eventually grew almost as big as Ruth's. The glowing figure can't tell his face even if he sees the whole picture.

"In the space that that woman created, you did well on your own. I think I've been thinking about it a lot. But you made one big mistake."

He spoke politely, but somehow resembled his neighbor Wonok. It wasn't high pressure, but there was such an atmosphere in my voice that I was looking down at Ruth from a distant height.

'Mistakes?'

I questioned that light that speaks people's language, but such questions fall zero out of my head. Now I was concerned about the 'mistake' that the person had said.

"I thought that if I defeated the woman's army with her power, I would be able to keep my memory."

Slowly organize what the other person talks about in a blurred consciousness.

What comes to mind when they say 'soldier' is a shadow demon. Speaking of 'That Child' defeating the Shadow Demon, Ed. I thought they were referring to the operation Ruth had just carried out.

'Is it not............?

I don't know what kind of opponent he is, but Ruth responded naturally and politely to the strong aura emitted from that light. I feel that this voice should not be defied.

"Soldiers are just soldiers. There's no way she's equipped for that soldier, including the fundamentals of the technique she created, the ability to cause her to lose her memory and repeat it. '

I heard a little mocking, but Ruth felt no shame or anger. Instead, I was relieved that the presumption had hit that someone was "making me lose my memory and do repetitions". Apparently, not all of Ruth's ideas were wrong.

'With that child's power, you can't prevent that woman from doing her tricks. That kid is still a child. Even if we can defend ourselves, we don't have the power to save others. "

"But I'm actually the first to keep my memory the last time."

"That's because I gave you a hand."

'What……?

"The last time you kept your memory, it was because I was interfering a little with that woman's power. It's not her power."

'Really? Oh, thank you very much.'

"... you're still a little different."

I heard a little laugh again. But this time it didn't sound like I made a fool of myself there.

"But that's it..."

'Huh?'

'This is the limit to hiding from that woman from the outside and interfering. I can't help you anymore. Soon you will forget everything again and repeat the same time. Put that kid alone in this world...'

In that word Ruth realized that he had ruined his last chance. As long as Ed was there, he was overconfident that he would keep his memory forever. I was thinking short-circuited that I should try again.

"No……"

'You're a normal person, so you have no choice. There is no one who can turn a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity into something. All the more so if the person is not aware that it is only once. People who notice are the real thing......'

Ruth had forgotten that she was just a human being with no particular power. I'm not a special person like Ed or Alec.

'But I'm in trouble with that kid being caught here. Besides, I don't want to do anything extra to that woman. Let me help you with the rest of your power. "

The light approaches me and I get bounced off my forehead. The memory that had collapsed felt like it had been pulled out of my head.

I felt like they laughed lightly without a voice.

'Use that feeling well. This is your last chance. Otherwise, to save her...'

The world darkens again.

"- Kill all of you, but you will have to destroy this world."

The sound of a voice that I could really peek into made my spine feel zombie and horror.

'Wow, oh!

At the same time that his voice disappears, Ruth's body in the dark begins to fall, as he gained gravity.

Ruth repeated his earlier words in his head, feeling the wind running through his body and the fear of falling.

"You will soon forget everything again and repeat the same time"

"This is your last chance."

"Kill all of you, but you will have to destroy this world."

(Well, the last chance is to kill him if he can't find a way out... what am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to get out of this world when I'm losing my memory next!?

I have no idea how. A lot goes too far into my head to find out what's the right way to go.

But that's not why I'm watching. The next time we don't get out of this world, Ruth and the others will be killed by that light trying to help Ed.

That light didn't look like he was joking. I was full of confidence. I mean, I guess you really just have the power to break this world. Kill Ruth and the others without hesitation if you think you can't. It is now brought to life by good intentions.

(I'm sure there's a way out of that world somewhere! But where? What the hell!?

In my confused head, I desperately try to find answers. I try to calm my impatience if I have to calm down.

(I have to sort things out in my head. Put all the events, the snoring in the mansion, the words of the people in the mansion, why this is happening, and rearrange them, and I'm sure the answer will be -)

But Ruth didn't have time to think about it.

Light appeared ahead of me as I fell. The darkness is interrupted and the earth is visible. There was a bedrock there.

If I remember correctly, that's the "first place" in front of the mansion. Ruth will be returned to the starting point shortly.

It's the beginning of the twelfth.

(I don't know how to...)

Without an answer, Ruth was dropped to the ground.
