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

"We've known about the facility here for some time now, as well as the four gods - four heroes sleeping in this facility. I also knew it all too that if I proceeded without knowing anything as it were, I would be forced to make a choice and be made into a situation where there was only one way to be a human pillar. I came here knowing."

"I know, here?

"- I mean. Sorry to hear that, Jizzy."

When Alec's hard voice sounds, the light hits a little further away from whether he was listening to it. Ruth was sheltered on his back as he hid from the light, and Alec's companions made his vigilance manifest.

I see. You got it all figured out.

Appearing with a serene voice was Gio, a high-ranking magician who became Alec's master - a figure just like Ruth.

"Why me?!?

Ruth is bewildered by the appearance of someone he just seems to be from wherever he comes from.

"Easy, Ruth. That's my hand. Me and my people know you're Ruth, so don't worry."

"Ugh, yeah......"

Gio sighed small as he glanced at Ruth replying on Alec's side.

"I didn't know you could come here on your own... what's he doing?"

Gio, who shrugs so much, felt a little thinner than he had seen before. That sharpens the aura drifting around him, erasing the serenity of being in the inn.

(That's not a very talkative vibe...)

Ruth felt horrible about Gio for the first time. He looks like an old man, but I guess he's also as powerful as Wonok.

"I'm not wrong about what you're saying. Then I want you to be a pillar. [M] Otherwise the world will not be able to keep peace. Will you please come inside that case, my apprentice?

"You're falling asleep, jizzy. Get in here, and you'll never see Ruth again, and you'll know who's coming in."

"If you don't enter, this world will once again go down the path of doom by Zagres. You give priority to your own selfishness when so many will suffer and die?

Geo pokes me where it hurts. It will be a point of distress and suffering for everyone.

I'm sure this is how the brave men of history worried, and eventually they may have gotten into the glass case.

Block the escape route without even touching it directly, and let it be as if it were your decision, in fact, let it go the way that Gio himself wanted. It's a word that shows his cunning.

But Alec laughed off such Geo's words.

"Hung. If I tell you which is more important to you than others, I'm more important to you. Of course.... except for Ruth. The best is Ruth."

"Gu."

Don't say that with a serious face until this time, Ruth is embarrassed and dying, but his people were flat out. I think I'm used to Alec's remarks already.

"If that Ruth asks you to come in...?... and I just wanted to do it, but I don't know... that's enough Dale"

When Gio waved, someone just like Ruth, who was next door, had turned into a man Dale he'd seen. This is the man Gio used to be with when he picked up Alec in Ruth's room.

(Maybe you were going to let my fake do something "Alec, be a pillar for the world"...?

I'm freaked out by the way it's done.

Alec and the others knew about this place and what they were going to do. That seemed pointless to me that Ruth was chasing me, but maybe I'm glad he came as a result. Had it not been for Ruth on this occasion, things would have been more confusing.

"There's no way I can be fooled by such a fake. Not like Ruth at all, huh? I was seen sweetly."

"It took me a year to get it done perfectly after I showed myself so I couldn't..."

Geo shakes his eyebrows sadly.

At the same time, Ruth corrects his thoughts. Even if I didn't come, there was nothing wrong with Alec.

"... Elder, I'm going to be in the way even if I'm here. I beg your pardon."

"Uhm. Back off."

Dale, staring at Gio and Alec, left the scene with a transfer technique when he looked remorseful. I was surprised at the pitiful exit, but I may have felt that I was only a foothold on the difference in power from the Aleks.

"I didn't expect you to do this to me... I don't think you're just a village youth, as always. Ruth."

"Mr. Gio......"

It was Geo who had a discouraged voice, but he had an indescribable look on his face, regrettable, sad, happy.

"Jizzy, you don't have to use the way you think, but you have the power to seal Zagris completely. It's a concept that Grandpa Tomarsh put together over a millennium. We heard the story, but if this succeeds, no one will die."

"- That man has said the same thing and failed to seal it once in the past"

Gio speaks out cold so as to block Alec's words.

"In the end, that ran out of time, and the four became human pillars. You can't count on that guy's 'complete seal' or anything. In that regard, the way we created it is plain, but it only takes time and a lot of magic to make sure."

"I've heard that Grandpa Tomarsh's magic machine, which he used to build for the sealing of Zagres, failed without control. There are quite a few dead people out there... and that's why Grandpa took the time to build on that failure."

"- Alec. No matter how many times, no matter what they say, I won't change my mind. Even if I knew the guy's method would theoretically work. I can't believe you believe who took my son's life...!

Regular serenity disappeared into Gio's voice, and anger seeped at the edge of the word. The hand holding the wand is slightly trembling.

(Fear......)

Ruth took the strength of Gio's will from the front and found himself feeling slightly frightened. Even though his voice was never loud, he was powerful enough to stifle himself.

Garcia and the others are shaking themselves slightly. Only Alec had penetrated his unchanging attitude, but I could see that his hand grabbing Ruth was powerful.

"... you mean you can't persuade me..."

Without responding to Alec, Gio meditated his eyes and nodded small. And when I take a small, deep breath, I open my eyes again.

There was the usual figure of laid-back geo there.

"On the contrary, let's ask again from the eagle. Alec the Brave, why don't you be a pillar of humanity for the world? Isn't it funny that that's the mission of the brave?

Geo's feet begin to glow in a dim place.

The strongest muscle of light draws a circle and begins to carve letters inside it. When I realized I was drawing the demon cube automatically, it was complete and I noticed that the back of the geo was starting to distort.

A cleavage enters where the wall should have been and opens when both open doors appear. Ahead was the devastated earth that existed in a sky shining with strange colors. It was as if we had brought different spaces there.

"I don't think so. I may be a brave man, but I'm human before that. There's something I can't give away, just like you. I refuse to be a human pillar!

Pull out the sword at the same time as Alec finishes saying. His companions also entered a combat posture at the same time.

"I didn't want to imitate it rough if I could, but then I guess I'll have to force myself into it..."

That being said, Gio made a gentle call. When he floats in the universe, he enters the other space behind him, pointing toward Alec and the others.

"Ruth, stay with the sealer. This is the safest place."

There is no way that Geo, who hopes to free his precious grandson from the human pillar, would do anything dangerous on the side of the sealing device. Alec says confidently that there is no danger if he is on the side of the device.

"Grandson?"

"Citstiadis and Zenobia are the forgotten sight of Jijii's lost son... like grandchildren"

Ruth didn't know, but two of the four gods, the male god Citstiadis and the goddess Zenobia, were brothers and sisters and said they were the grandchildren of Gio.

Then I also felt that Geo would be so obsessed with this device.

"What's beyond that?

Pointing to the one Gio was in, Alec looked like he had a headache.

"I don't know if Jijii prepared it or if it was originally there, but it's probably another space. I can see how things are going, but I don't think they're going to affect the situation. I'm in favor of changing places, but it's a totally jizzy field... well, I don't know what else to do."

"Another space…"

Ruth was surprised by the space itself, but Alec and the others naturally began to move on to Gio. Maybe it's common.

"Make yourselves comfortable... let's go, guys"

"Ooh."

Alec, saying so, walked into the other side with his friends.

"Two...... ah"

When Ruth looked a little back, she noticed Addy was there. A little pale.

(Shit. I completely forgot about Addy on the way)

I was worried about Alec, and Addy was falling out of my mind on the way. Ruth can still stay calm because he's been here before and knows about this place, but from Addy, he'll have no idea what's going on.

"Sorry, Addy. Leave something behind."

"... yeah. Never mind. I took it personally."

Apparently, Addy got some questions from Curtis before Ruth knew it, but honestly answering how he'd been, he seemed convinced. They had a good time coming into the room with Ruth and Orha.

Still anxious because Ruth ran off on her own, Addy grabbed Ruth's cuff.

"Call me, Jizzy! I'm gonna smack your stonehead in and soften you up!

I saw the battle between Alec and Gio begin.

As Alec had said, there seemed to be a clear membrane between where they were fighting and the Ruths, no magic, shock waves, etc. It was the sound that sounded like it was over the wall with its ears on, but Ruth was felt to be a lot farther away, too.

(Can't I help you?)

Gio and Alec are supposed to be in a relationship of master and disciple, but they're not willing to take each other out of hand, and Ruth continues to have attacks they don't understand. Naturally, I can't help. I'd just get in the way if I were on your side than Dale, who dispersed earlier.

"... Orha, come"

Calling Orha, who was flying on Ruth's side in a restless manner, back to the sheath. If you stroke gently with your hard work, the belt you are wearing Orha will be a little heavier. Looks like I've lost my strength.

(Regrettably...... anyway, Alec is right, I'll keep you company)

No matter how much help you want, there's no way Ruth can join such a superhuman feud. I have no choice but to wait here and pray for Alec's victory.

"Addy, sit somewhere... Addy?

I called out to let Addy sit down, saying it would be hard to stand and wait all the time - but I noticed that his body was shaking slightly.

"What's up, Addy? Afraid?"

Ruth tilts her neck as she peeks into Addy, who is leaning down.

When I was shown such a battle, I couldn't help but be frightened - so I tried to touch my shoulder with my right hand, and I noticed a light in my hand that looked familiar somewhere thin red.

(That... this light...)

The thin red light that led Ruth into the ark before to this place in the deepest depths. I hadn't seen him today, but he suddenly showed up for some reason.

Ruth also forgets to speak to Addy and looks for light with her eyes.

"Goddess...... no, Aristotle Theresia?

I noticed the Aristotle Theresian glass case next to the Ruths emitting a thin red light unlike the other three.
