"One more, one of my people is dead. I believe in you."
Benou's voice is chilling.
What the hell.
Neither Lemegeton nor this guy is a mess about not being qualified to name people brave or serious.
Second, discomfort. Look, my left leg was petrified. Cut immediately with the "wind blade" and control the posture with wind magic to avoid losing balance.
"Farewell, my boy (,,,,,). This is not where you come from.... they picked the wrong people."
Turn your back, Benou. I can't see Botis anymore. I guess he's a [position (job)] good at hiding.
I accelerate with wind magic and stick a wind blade around my remaining right leg.
"Hey, full-body flaming man. Who says I'm wrong?
You can't let Fran and Yuan make a mistake because I'm weak.
"All the adventurers who built you into the Battle of Reid."
Benou flipped like he was reading, slapped my kick with his left hand and punched me in the face with that right fist.
The series of movements is too fast to react.
Blown up like an idiot, I crash into the wall, what a fall. Strangely powerful not to exit.
... This guy isn't just a [demon] after all.
My vision shook gras. My eyes are open, but I can't see what I'm seeing. Something seeps in. I wonder what it is. It's not Benou. I mean, it's not the final area of the tenth floor.
"I've done a much more important job than a brave man."
It's my father. It's a conversation I had at an early age with [The Unstoppable Brave].
Mr. Lemme said. [The Invincible Brave] said he didn't give up first place, he was the man who didn't give up his family.
I think so. I guess he's a good husband and a good father. But I wanted you to be the strongest adventurer.
If it weren't for me, I could have proved it.
"I'm sad to hear you say that."
When I said what I thought, my father said that with a really sad face. Yes, I remember.
"Don't tell me I was happier than I was in first place in my father's life, like I shouldn't have been."
I don't know what that means.
Of the strongest party in the world, the lead. Greatest adventurer in the world.
I didn't think it was worth more than that.
"I'll be a brave man. and I'll give you back the ones who made fun of your father '
'Uh, I'm happy with your feelings, but I'd like future dreams to be decided for more positive reasons. Nothing, you don't have to be an adventurer. [Title (Job)]' Cause you haven't figured it out yet. '
"Be. I will take first place without the power of the Spirit......!
"... Reis"
At that time, my father was unusual and angry.
'Father certainly, was not chosen by the Spirit. If you really want to be an adventurer, I'll back you up. Sounds like you have a magical talent, and I'll put the archery on you like I've always done. But, Reis. Just one thing. Don't forget the most important thing.'
"... what"
"Take care of your people who fight with you."
"Huh? That's natural!
"Do you really understand? In your earlier words, I don't think so. Because... '
Someone's signs are approaching that I'm going to stab Todome.
It's not Benou. Botis. Like a sudden appearance of a person, I can feel the signs.
Even when it comes to killing enemies, it's the one that could kill the signs, so I guess it's on purpose.
"These are the words of Master Remegeton. Listen."
The voice and the words of my father overlap.
"'The Spirit would be one of us'"
"- Ah."
Abruptly, I understood.
I don't deserve a brave man. Right, Remegeton, so.
Even weak demons can torment adventurers and help fellow demons.
Lemegeton's command is that kind of 'building a final victory for all'.
That should be the same for adventurers. Work with your people and grab victory. That's the ideal look.
Dad was able to do that. I did my best not to be chosen by the Spirit, and came first with my people.
- Yet I am.
I was chosen by the Spirit, but I chose not to use my powers.
I thought I could win without the Spirit, and I had to. Yeah, I thought so.
Had it been with the help of the Water Spirit from the beginning, the expansion from the first layer to this point would have been different.
I meant it, and I still think so. I didn't lose my hand. But it wasn't all I could do. I had not been able to give all my strength. Seriously, I was trying to win without giving it all.
"What about your father, Lace? If you're going to be an adventurer, I'd love to see you and your own people attack you, not imitate your father. I'm excited to see what kind of brave man you are called."
I was trying not to ask. I had a lid on my thoughts that I didn't know what it meant.
When I understand it, I don't like my silliness additions and subtractions.
He continued to expose the dastardly imitation of brave disqualification in an attempt to prove the strength of the world's finest adventurer.
All I can do is watch a childhood tame exit who can't go after herself ahead.
The [brave] man who sheltered himself from the demonic eye by citing his opponent without the use of spirituality and losing is petrified.
And long after the Spirit recognized me, I kept ignoring my dear companions.
I'm not in a position to say something great to Phoenix Sempai.
Why don't you abandon your people? Stupid. I am. I've been scorning my people for a long time, you little brat.
Can't I forgive myself if I have to be first in my father's way?
It's not such a superficial thing not to use the power of the Spirit to apprentice.
Have I been unable to face such a natural thing?
Because I stayed wrong, and I went ahead and won. Because my people are excellent and I've been able to get this far.
- Undine.
Remember, the Spirit wants his voice to reach him. The reply was immediate.
"Hey, kid. The stage isn't over yet, is it? So the actor will speak to the audience?
- You said you could be a bystander, but I apologize.
'... hey, what the hell?
- I wanted to be the one to take care of my people, but I couldn't. I didn't know you were one of them. Sorry.
"Phew...? But that must be it, right? With the help of the Spirit, you can't, can you? You're gonna be like your dad, aren't you?
- What I wanted to be was the nicest brave man in the world. It sucks to ignore the Spirit, let your people die, and keep screwing around. This is the most underdressed kid in the world, then.
"So?"
It took courage to admit it.
- I'm still weak, but with Fran, you and the rest of us who can be ahead, I'll be number one. I want to be. So if you haven't done all you can to me yet.
I need you to sign a contract.
Words that came out after I was pinched and made to hack by demonic words.
No matter how much you liked me in The Spirit Temple, it's more natural to be shy. It's more normal to feel sorry for him.
Or the voice of the Spirit echoing in my head was too big and I thought my brain would explode.
"It's been a long time since I've had a good vibrant show... and this is going to be watched for a while - if I thought! Hurry up! Growth Ibe...... I can't believe I'm blessed with opportunities! Can I see your face better? Ahhh, that confident messed up my face already ~! It's not too bad to shake up a long time ago because of this! '
- I have no idea what you're talking about...
Spirits have many personalities, and it's not uncommon for [brave men] to bother their relationship - Aerial is good because he's strong in person, but there are spirits who don't lend a hand outside of the crisis of life - and so far.
"I'll lend you my strength."
-!... thanks.
It wasn't some kind of apology, reconciliation and contract I thought it was, but not if I'm saying it.
'Besides, I don't want to lose to him. I've been told for a long time that there's no one on the right in the offensive force and I'm in good shape, but I don't think you should just scorch everything. Immortality isn't his only move, is it? That's what my boy thinks, isn't it?
- Not yours, though.
"Points where it's not easy... it's highly regarded."
- Well, do me a favor.
"Yeah, Brave Lace. I'll admit you as a contractor."
Consciousness becomes rapidly clearer.
"Goodbye."
Voice of Botis, close.
The knife had just been stuck in my chest.
"Doesn't stoning mean you can't do that in a row?
The demonic eye was already hidden by a bandage, but the mouthpiece was well seen distorted by surprise.
- You, why?
"Goodbye."
It would be rude if you didn't say hello.
I get up against Botis and go through Botis (,,,,).
Later what remained was her magic particle exiting with her chest pierced with something.
My body was now made of water.
She went through me like a stone she dropped on the water.
One of the depths of spiritual art is called 'assimilation'. You think it'll be the wind itself or the water itself? It's like being human, but also fire, dirt, but also human.
That's the transition to that state.
Make up for the missing left leg with water magic.
I'm telling you, you don't have fifteen seconds.
- I know.
If it was that easy to use, there would be no depth or anything.
I wouldn't have used this now if my body was full.
Fifteen seconds is not the time before you fall into a lack of magic, but before your flesh collapses without being able to sustain assimilation.
My damage was so serious that I couldn't move if I didn't. From the left leg, there was a dong magic leak, and the more the consciousness is blurred because of the damage to the head.
I thought this was the only way I could get back to war, even in fifteen seconds.
"Benou...... ugh!
Shouting, he looked back at this one.
"Wasn't dead yet, [Lake Brave (,,)] Reis"
There is no cold in that voice until earlier.
Already. I'll notice, just like that. I know who you and that guy are.
"Thanks to you."
Obviously, they were trying to do something about my mistake. I was trying to make you realize.
I don't know the details, but still, thanks to them, I didn't have to end up being the lowest bastard.
"Come, the last battle is withheld"
"Heh, isn't this the last one?
From Benou's body, a blue flame erupts. It spreads more and more and becomes a bird with huge wings.
There's a lot of water overflowing from my body. It spreads more and more and becomes a giant snake-like creature.
A dragon, to be exact. In the body of the serpent, with the scales and head of the dragon.
This guy should know. Whether you leave me alone or just relay it gently, my body will soon be shattered.
But he admits he's a brave man, and he's trying to fight me from the front.
Because dungeon strategy is entertainment made with adventurers and demons.
Blue giant bird and blue giant dragon. Demons and brave men integrated with each rapidly approaching, and clashing.
Water vapor fills the surrounding area along with the sound of water dripping over the heated iron plate.
White that fills your vision. By the time it clears up, it's settled.
Twice, I withstood his flames. Once, I pierced his chest with a 'water blade'. This is what I did to Botis.
But it didn't go through.
White clears. His burning fist was piercing my chest.
All around, steam rises from your body.
"... next time, I want to fight you"
"First, gather the rest of us."
"... right. Yeah, I will."
Honestly, I'm so sorry.
I lost, but I became an adventurer to prove my father's correctness.
The ones who made fun of my father, maybe forget what I said and live hella.
I wanted to deny it.
But I finally realized it. Adventure is not an instrument of vengeance.
It's a challenge for us, and entertainment for the beholder.
Besides, you could be the best brave man because you were born under the best brave man, if you say so.
One day you'll come first, and you'll say so.
This isn't revenge, it's not redemption, it's goal.
- Thank you, Mr Lemme.
- Thank you, Mr. Phoenix (,).
We didn't just win, we still didn't know there were fights like this.
You're super good at bringing out the best of your opponents, fighting, winning.
Sorry, Fran. Yuan-kun. Undine. Everyone else.
From now on. Me...
"Farewell, young brave man. You're blessed to have good company."
On the verge of my body smashing, I heard Benou's voice like that.
