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

Let me!

But the next moment, Zagres, beaten to death by Alec, was on the floor.I don't know what happened, but the surrounding machines are causing white smoke.The phantom of Zagres was severed and his lower body was about to disappear.

"You think you can beat me with all that power left?"

Damn it!

Alec cast a magic spell on the fallen Zagres, and the illusion scattered.

It was so light that it could not be seen as a battle against the brave and sealed evil.

"... after time, he will be resurrected again.That kind of power doesn't pose a threat, but we need to get this over with. "

Ruth and the others gathered to the body of Zagres.

Alec started singing with the magic cube in his palm.The magic cube that appeared in Alec's hand painted an unprecedented complexity, and the longer the chant, the larger the circle.

"I want to blow it all away, but if I destroy it all suddenly, there is a chance that this ark that connects to Zagres will run wild.If we succeed, we'll get involved.So, one brain at a time disconnects from the other.That way, Zagres' enormous magic will gradually be lost, and he will lose all proper magic and magic, and will eventually be finished. "

The source of Zagres' enormous magic is the combination of multiple brains.Therefore, if you can cut each one off and make it unusable as one of your brains, you can no longer deal with that amount of magic.In other words, the threat is leaving.

"That's a lot of work."

"You just don't have to break it."

"That's right. Even without the life-sustaining magic cube, it would have been full because it would have been sealed for the Jijii at the time.It's impossible to disconnect one by one with this guy in normal condition... let's get started. "

Eventually Alec's hand buried in the pattern drawn by the Magic Cube and glowed.I turned my hand towards the glass case.

Ha!

If Alec flashes his arms, the magic circle connecting the brains in front of him will disappear.

Ahhhhh, stop it!

The screams of Zagres echoed around.

The body part lying at the same time moved around so that it could play.Every time Alec waved his arm, he jumped around as if his body had been cut open, and the screams echoed.

"I can't watch this...."

I heard Karen murmuring like that.I feel my friends turning their faces away.

It must have been painful for them to try to keep silent about killing defenceless opponents unilaterally, no matter how many sources of evil they have.

When I disconnected about half of the connections, Zagres's voice was considerably smaller.

Alec snapped at Ruth behind him.

"Ruth, you can rest your eyes."

Huh?

"Somehow I'm making excuses, but what I'm doing is cutting his life off.You don't have to see that.You don't have to know. "

Ruth didn't turn around, but Alec went back to destroying the Magic Cube again.His back looked like he was telling Ruth not to look.

"... I'm watching."

Huh?

"I'm watching until Alec finishes. I can't turn my eyes away."

"Don't look... I don't want you to look..."

"Alec, that's not true.... I want to see it through to the end to carry Alec's weight together."

Alec, who refused Ruth's existence without wanting to be seen, looked back with a strange expression.

"... to carry it?"

"Yes, I could really use Alec's help, but I know it's going to get in the way, so I won't.But I don't think I'd be the same person who stood by Alec and cut Zagres off.I think I agree not to do anything. "

Alec's eyes opened wide.

"I'm watching what Alec is doing.I'll carry it with me, Alec. "

Even if the opponent is not vengeance, who would want to kill him?If you can live without killing, no one wants to do it.

Alec was also an ordinary village youth.Though his abilities were outstanding, his heart was a simple village young man.

And yet he carried the power of a brave man.

Many people would have been involved, thanked, or turned to irrational anger.On the contrary, I started to do a lot of things I didn't want to do.I would have put my hands on people in a situation where there was nothing I could do about it.He must have slain people and people to save more people in order to be responsible for what he did as a brave man.

Alec doesn't want to kill Zagres with his own hands, even if he wants to.

Brave people are things that ordinary people can't do - things that people don't want to do.The existence of killing the roots of evil, a business that no one wants to do.

If the brave man was Alec, Ruth wanted to carry with him the spiciness of his actions.I didn't want to leave you alone.

"... thank you, Ruth."

Alec, who came back to the front again, heard such a small noise.

Eventually, almost all the magic cubes were disarmed, and finally the tubes that followed the torso and brain were cut.Zagres never showed up in the meantime.

The room gradually fades as if it represents a collapsing life.

"Cut this off and Zagres is done."

Alec put his hand on the last tube.The last tube is not magic, it is a physical object, or there is no golden light around Alec.

"Please... don't let it melt..."

I can hear a dead voice coming from Zagres, who has almost become only his torso.I wonder if this voice is real, not an act.That is the decision of conscience.

(Alec....)

Alec's hand has stopped.Ruth knew Alec was suffering from Zagres' desperate resistance.

Ruth watched and stood next to Alec.Then he stretched out his hand on the pipe and lay his hand on Alec.

……

Alec covered Ruth's hand with the other without saying anything.

"Sleep in peace, my sad soul, who has been used by many, who have saved many, who have suffered many at the same time -"

……

There was a crack and a crack in the tube.

Alec's thin tube, wrapped in one hand, cracked lightly and overflowed with light blue liquid.

The glowing, strangely colored liquid gradually lost its color without reaching Zagres' body, and finally became transparent and spread to the floor.

I can't hear you anymore.

"... good work, Alec"

"Ruth"

He reached out to Alec's neck and hugged his body.

The purpose of the brave man's journey, which took more than a year to complete.I should be happy with the end of my journey to world peace, but I couldn't see Alec's face as spicy.

I'm sure if this was the victory we grabbed after the battle, there might have been nothing wrong with it.But Alec's journey didn't go so well.He is used, and the opponent who should be defeated cannot move.What a waste of battle it was!

"Good luck, Alec..."

"Thank you, Ruth... thank you"

After a while, Ruth felt the temperature returning to Alec's body, which was a little cold.Step-by-step tension came off Alec's tall arm, causing his hands to touch Ruth to get hot.

"Um...."

Turning around with a voice, Ed was there.

While everyone was distracted, he was the only one approaching Ruth's side.

"What's the matter, Ed?"

"Um... can I approach Zagres?"

"Oh, it's okay now."

When Alec heard the words, Ed approached Zagreth's body, which had stopped moving, and put his hand in his hand.

"Goodbye."

Ed lowers his head and returns to Ruth and the others.

"Ed, what do you mean" goodbye "?"

Ed has nothing to do with Zagres.I didn't understand what it meant to speak directly.

"Ruth, do you remember the original purpose of my visit to Hashi village?"

"Purpose... you certainly followed my friend's voice..."

Ed, who disappeared during the Spirit Festival, said he heard his friend's voice through a hole near the dungeon in Hashi village.The hole is a hole that leads to the dungeon.

"No way...."

"Yes, it felt like the first conversation.--The friend I was looking for was Zagres. "

A mysterious existence that taught me a lot of things that made Ed incapable of moving freely.That's Zagres.

"Ah, but don't worry.The “he” I was talking to was Zagres, but I think he's a little different.In the first place, “he” itself should have disappeared.... "

As of last year, "he” was saying goodbye to Ed.I can't be here.But Ed said he felt something similar to “him” from Zagres.

"He” really taught me all sorts of things... different races and lands, the religious values and values that go with them.Now I'm sure “he” was part of Zagres.It is no wonder he knows all sorts of things.Zagres lived a long time and had many races. "

"Ed...."

When I hear Ed's story, I'm sure Zagres is the ”he” Ed was looking for.But if that's true, Ruth doesn't know what to say.

But Ed laughs at Ruth like that.

"... he sometimes said that he wanted to be free.He wants to go high.So I think this is fine.Thank you, Alec, Ruth. "

I don't know if Zagres and ”he” were the same person, but Ed's expression was not sad.He seems honestly delighted that his wish has come true.I felt I was saved just by that.

The moment everyone sighed and understood that it was finally over - the ground shook.

"--uhh!? What!?"

The lights in the room go out and the surroundings get dark.When my friends made a noise, the building sounded like a murmur.

When Alec used his magic to illuminate the surroundings, he found that the room was the same as before, but that there were no lights on anywhere.As if the main power supply had fallen off, it was dark everywhere and the surrounding machines were not moving.

"Ah, hey, this is..."

"... has the collapse already begun?"

"Destroying is nothing!"

I told you, this ark is integrated with Zagres.

"But I went all the way to keep you from running away....."

"You didn't run wild.Either way, Zagres, the heart of the ark, has disappeared, and it must be influential. "

"That means Zagres is dead and this ark is beginning to collapse, naturally."

Seriously, let's hurry to the exit!

The people who knew what to do acted quickly.

Yuan carried Ruth's body in a basket.The rest of the crew are pointing their weapons at the entrance and exit.

Ruth, let's get out of here.

Yeah!

When I followed Alec, I felt surprised that someone whispered in my ear.
