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

"You're a liar. Nearly half your power is gone."

"Fans"

"... half?

"It seems that this was enough because I avoided a direct hit in an instant... but if I made a mistake, everything might have blown up. Normal playback isn't working. Of course, I don't know how to cure her....."

Fan puts his hand on Wonok's face and emits light, but without being absorbed by his body, it goes to zero. The magic of healing that Fance has just inflicted, but since Wonoku's injuries have not recovered, it can be seen that the healing technique has not worked.

The sighing fan stopped holding his hand and turned to Ruth again.

"The power of Alec the Brave stops not only the impact of awakening, but even Wonok's ability to regenerate. He's so amazing. Zeogius... do you know how careful Grandpa Geo is with the ark?

"... yes. Very well, sir."

Wonok appeared and shouted near Alec, who could not be helped by Geo and the others. In other words, Wonok's power is higher than theirs. If Ruth is right, Wonok is probably the strongest class of creatures when it comes to power alone.

And now Wonok has lost half of his body and is hampered by regenerative abilities.

Ruth finally understood how powerful Alec was when he was fully awake and how dangerous it was that Zagres was taking control of him. I was convinced that there were many powerful men on this ship who could not move on. Because if you get close enough, your body could be wiped out in an instant.

(Alec....)

I realized that Alec, who had been on the side until now, had gone out of reach for about Ruth.

"After all, Alec is deep inside the ark...."

"Deep down?... do you know where Brave Alec is now?”

"Well, I don't know... I can see Alec's golden light from the bottom of the ark sometimes, so I wonder if he's there.... oh, but you didn't know where it was?"

Karen and the others showed me the ark outside the window several times. Though faint, Ruth saw Alec's golden light shine from time to time at the bottom of the ark. That's why I'm sure he's there.

However, according to Cyrus, it is difficult to say that Ruth's visual information is correct, as the investigation team has not been able to find Alec's whereabouts.

"Golden light....."

Speaking of the story, they glanced at what they had said, but the fans opened their mouths without asking anything else.

"... well, let's talk about that again. More than that, Ruth, there's something I want to tell you about Addy."

"Addy!"

I remember the boy holding his heart and pointing a knife at Ruth. Ruth doesn't know what happened to him after Orha cut him down.

"Is he here? Is he here?

In response to Ruth's question, Fans shook his head small when he lowered his eyebrows.

"He's not found. I don't think he's just alive. In other words, if you're in the shock wave of valiant awakening, normal people won't have a body."

At that time, Ruth's body was safe because Alec continued to apply healing techniques to protect it. The same was true of Orha, who was on the other side, because he was within his protection.

Geo and Garcia were able to defend themselves with a lot of distance. The fans also prevented the first shock wave, so it was enough to fly. But if ordinary people were in there, they would have disappeared in an instant. Addy's level of power doesn't even leave any bones.

(... Addy)

Fans stroked his head when he was told of Addy's death and Ruth felt like he couldn't say anything.

"Ruth... you knew you were going to die, and you wanted revenge on him who took you to Zagres?

Ruth shook his head in response to an unexpected question.

"... that's not true... somehow, I feel like I can't handle it..."

It's not that I don't feel frustrated that his thoughts led me there. Nor can I forgive betrayal. Still...

"Addy was crying at the end," Ruth said... "

Looking back at that scene, Ruth feels a strange pain. Complicated emotions that are not simple, such as anger or frustration, arise.

Why did he throw a knife at Ruth while crying, and why did he come there with Ruth in the first place?

(That's right... Addy...)

Loose raised his face and stared at Wonok, who was looking at us.

A demonic tribe with only half a body, and a person who has become a doll. This is a strange composition, but I had to ask you everything.

"Mr. Wonok... who's Addy?”

Last seen, he appeared to have a different personality while being Ruth's known Addy.

"Addy said, 'If you were judged directly by our God, you would be happy." Ruth Braw. "That way of talking... I've heard that before."

During the cold season of Citrus, Ruth arrived at the man in the inn. He revealed himself in the same unique way. The more I remember now, the more Addy looked like he was young.

"Addy said that Wonok was the reason she couldn't speak up. Is that true?

There's no mistake.

"... if you're so involved, of course you know who he is, right?

"... that's right."

Wonok answered Ruth's question sighingly.

"Who do you think he is?

Wonok didn't break his usual pace during this period. But Ruth is also questioned in the calculations. The answer had already been given.

"Addy was the molten demon who turned into a Rapi, Julia, when the disturbance broke out at the inn last year?

Though I tried to seize Kia and start a war, I failed, but I was bitten by Wonok, but I was easily teased. The erosion of the Fusion Devil progressed, attacking Ruth, and eventually being killed by Alec.

I don't know his name, but I remember Ruth very clearly. He wanted to kill Ruth eventually for some reason.

Yeah, that's Addy.

"... why was he alive? Alec should have killed me."

"Because I brought back the dying one."

"Play?"

"He used to say strange things to you, 'God wants my life'. I was worried about the story and tried to extract information from the guy who was wrecked... but I couldn't. So I tried to regenerate. To be precise, it's a restoration using my ability to regenerate myself."

"Like resuscitation?

Wonok shook his head to Ruth's question. It tells me what a fan who was watching it is.

Wonok is right to say, "Even if he falls into a magma, he won't die with that amount of damage." Because self-regeneration is abnormally high.

But unlike resilience like Geo, it's not something you can magically do to others. As I said before, orienting recovery to others is not Wonok's area of expertise.

However, by giving Wonok some of his regenerative powers, he seems to be able to temporarily compensate for lost organs and bring them back to life.

"... though, it doesn't last a lifetime. If that person does not recover on his own, he will eventually die. It is useless to give to a person with weak vitality. When he regenerated me, he lost many of his original organs and most of his memory."

Therefore, even if I played it back, I could not get the information I was looking for after all.

"So you brought Addy to your house?

"I could have stolen my strength and killed it, but it is the body of a jaguar that supplements its organs with my abilities. I didn't think it would last for six months.... as I told you at that time, I felt inconvenient about my life, so I brought you here as an servant."

With the power of Wonok's regeneration, even if he loses vital organs, he says he can keep them alive. But just by saying "hypothetically make organs capable of similar movements," it doesn't bring back the real organs.

In other words, even if Wonok was there when Ruth was dying in the ark, he would not survive long without restoring his heart, even if he had recovered once he had lost it.

"Addy was feeling sick...."

"Because my body was at its limit. Even if I put my strength back into it, it won't last much longer."

Even if you can survive with Wonok's power, if you can't recover that part on your own, you won't be able to fully heal. If you don't give magic regularly, you can't move right away. Even if you give it in the first place, when you come to a certain point, your body can't stand Wonok's power, and it starts to collapse.

"But when I saw Addy this time, she got up and she was fine. I thought it was Wonok who helped me and sent me a signal... but in the first place, he was the one who let Addy out his voice and led me to that stone room.

"Zagres....."

Huh?

Wonok frowned in disgust. Ruth strengthens his body as Wonok begins to show signs of killing someone in the future. I felt numb on my hands and feet because of the intensity of the killing.

"Wonok, calm down. Ruth, it's affecting you."

Fan shook Ruth while calling Wonok. When I was gently stroked on my hands and feet, the numbness went away immediately.

"Ruth, that Addy wasn't exactly where you could have picked her up."

"Eh... there certainly wasn't anything like an entrance... but there was a magical team of transfer magic, so..."

"Yes, that's already strange. Wonok didn't leave anything like that, and Addy was supposed to have left the Central Continent in the neighboring marizphatom. Lock me in a magical dungeon..."

"Eh... what do you mean?

The Magic Cube was on the ground from the beginning. Of course, Ruth didn't make it. It was Addy's word that Wonok made and put it there.

"No way...."

"Yes, a boy named Addy was originally a follower of Zagres and was strongly influenced. He must have been given special powers. It was also because of the melting demon. The memory destroyed by the brave man temporarily broke off the relationship, but it seems that after a while, the original body thought returned with Wonok's power. Perhaps Zagres's influence was at that time....."

When Addy became ill and began to recover his memory gradually, Wonok was finally able to know who he was from a variety of murmured words.

"He's... no, his race. They've been persecuted for a long time and treated me like a slave."

But one day, the race suddenly gained great power and fled the slave position on its own. The incident that resulted in many deaths was said to have been famous in some cases. Since then, they have dived into the basement and started asking for names in the backworld.

Now I think it was Zagres who gave them that power, named “God.”

"Wonok was in danger of recovering his original memory, but he couldn't kill him. It's a matter of regenerative ability.... but then I found out about his career, and I felt a disturbing atmosphere, and I transferred him to Marisfatom."

But without Wonok's knowledge, Addy, who was once again influenced by Zagres, finally regained his original consciousness. With the help of “God," he forced himself to assemble his body. I could not escape from Wonok's magic cage on a boulder, but I found and led Ruth, the one who holds the destiny of the brave, and escaped with the help of Orihalcon.

As you know, I led Ruth to the deepest part of the ark to kill him near the brave. Addy didn't do it directly because he didn't fall back on Ruth's most powerful defense, Orha. Because if you fail there, it's over.

(Everything was a trap from the beginning....)

Ruth believed Addy's words and was guided.
