The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed

65 – Awakening

I tried to raise my body reflexively, but a powerful magical force crushed my body and stopped my action.

“It would be better to stay still. I have no intention of killing you right now.”

Tarantra looked around with a soft smile, adding her words.

“Not a good place to have a conversation.”

Let Tarantra wield her wand. Trees grew from beneath the ground, she engulfed the walls scorched by the flames and created new ones.

Tarantra, who created a neat room in an instant, made a wooden chair and sat down.

“It was a pity that there were not many people to talk to about Lawton. Shall we have a conversation for the departed?”

With her unconcerned expression, she tried to contain her rage at the sight of Tarantula squeezing her own temple with her wand. I clenched her fists tightly.

“Why… You killed Lawton. Why did you lie all your life with the word friend? ?”

Let’s suppress her urge to run to Erado Tarantra immediately and kill her, and continue her words with difficulty.

Tarantra continued her words in a low pitched voice.

“Because today was the last delicious harvest from Lawton. That’s all.”

“What… ?”

As I unknowingly radiated mana at the words of Tarantra, who had no guilt, I pressed my body down with even more powerful mana. She continued her words with indifferent eyes that showed no emotion at all.

“And… You seem to be mistaken.”

A desolate voice with no pitch.

However, there was power in that voice that seemed to oppress me.

“I never once thought of Lawton as a friend.”

The air froze at Tarantra’s cool voice.

A cold rage welled up from the bottom of my chest and began to fill up.

“If you treat your prey and yourself equally, you must act hypocrisy. That’s why I’ve never thought of Lawton as a friend.”

I didn’t understand Tarantra’s words, so after a moment of silence, I asked a question.

“Did you want to shed tears of contrition by saying you were sorry, with pretentious hypocrisy over Lawton’s death?”

I immediately responded to Tarantra’s mocking expression.

“You are just a monster. A monster who only manipulates others and destroys other lives for his own gain.”

Tarantra opened her mouth with a light laugh at my voice, which was clear with boiling anger.

“That’s a nice compliment. Are you saying that because I look like you?”

“It looks like… Say?

Unlike me, whose claws in my clenched fists dug into my palms and dripped blood, trying to hold back my anger, Tarantra continued the conversation in a calm voice.

“I met you and investigated separately. I had to check whether Lawton’s disciple who suddenly appeared would be a factor in the plan.”

Tarantra lifted her head slightly, looked down at me kneeling on her floor with an arrogant gaze, and added her words.

“Like you have a wall called Roel. I also had a wall called Lawton. Just as you, Dunjae, entered Transcendence Academy through special admission thanks to Roel, I was also able to belong to the Green Mage Tower thanks to Lawton….”

Tarantra’s words were cut short by a sudden scream that came through what appeared to be a hole in her window.

As time passed and the screams disappeared, Tarantra asked me in an interesting voice with a light smile.

“So, are you curious? How could I break down the wall called Lawton and shove it deep into the ground? Have you climbed to a place where you can’t see the ground? I wonder if I can do the same for Roel.”

Thanks to my indomitable courage, I didn’t lose my temper and ran, but I felt my heart throb with rage.

“You… I know how you tricked Lawton.”

Tarantra, who had been making an indifferent expression to my words, made a bright expression.

It was so full of pure joy that it made me sick with disgust.

“Ha, I’m glad I didn’t kill you right away. I just wanted to talk to someone about this.”

Tarantra asked with a malicious smile.

“How much do you know?”

I gritted my teeth when I saw Tarantra asking with pure eyes like a child expecting a present.

Despite her careless arrogance, Tarantra was always ready to wield her wand so that she could use her magic to subdue me.

I opened my mouth as I recognized the spatial coordinates of the box Lawton had left behind me.

“I introduced Lawton as a relative, but in fact, Rael is not your relative…. Rael’s real name is Raphael. He was a prostitute in a city.”

At my words, Tarantra smiled brightly and rested her chin on her hand.

“You deliberately brought Rafael close to Lawton. When Rafael becomes dear to Lawton by the name of Rael, he tells her to buy her flowers in order to make her lose her. And made her pre-cooked little boy sell flowers containing Platinum flowers. As a result, Rael became a statue.”

Avoiding the gaze of Tarantra, who was listening to me with an intriguing expression, I gently released her hand from her fist. She touched the oath ring with her thumb.

Lawton found a cure for stone thorn disease. And the box containing Lawton’s research materials and cure was right behind me.

If that’s the case, Witch Spleen’s oath to find a way to get rid of Stone Thorn would have been fulfilled.

As expected, a message appeared before my eyes.

[ Witch Splin’s oath has been fulfilled. ]

[ You got 1P for fulfilling your oath. ]

[ Got an extra 3P. ]

[ The witch’s curse restriction has been removed. ]

[ Current point 4P. ]

Finally, I was able to solve my biggest problem with magic.

Before Tarantra doubted, I continued her speech, frowning at her in anger.

“For the love of Rael, Lawton has dedicated her life to researching stone thorn disease. You ended up killing Lawton to make the achievement yours.”

Is it because of his indomitable courage? The anger that filled his heart slowly began to sink to the bottom, and his head began to spin rapidly.

Pretend to hold back your anger. Wiping down your face, erasing the message that popped up and searching for the power related to the magic you’ve been trying to choose.

I heard Tarantra’s voice.

“Good guess, but far from correct.”

She frowned as if she was disappointed, and continued her words in a quiet voice as if Tarantra was teaching her.

“It is true that Raphael is a prostitute. Even before meeting Lawton. And even when we were lovers. A dirty whore who cheated on Lawton and mingled with me.”

In her mocking voice, Tarantra added her words.

“Mixed with a lot of men. A dirty b*tch who flirts with another man behind her back while whispering love to Lawton…. And to such an insignificant woman. The genius of the Green Mage Tower, and the heir to Count Esselmond’s family. Who would have predicted that Lawton would feel love for the first time?”

I bit my lip at the voice that seemed to mock Lawton, and glanced sideways at the status window without noticing.

“I paid a lot of money to ask Raphael to make me fall deeply in love with Lawton. It was only natural that Lawton, who had no experience with women, fell in love with Rael, who had a lot of experience with men. To destroy such a talented genius. It wasn’t effort or magic, it was a very simple feeling of love.”

Tarantra shook his body lightly and smiled with malice and passion.

“You know what’s more fun? Raphael, stupidly enough, really fell in love with Lawton. Realizing his own heart, he cried and begged me. He doesn’t want to hurt Lawton anymore, so he’ll stop. He said he would return all the money.”

I stopped checking her status window at Tarantra’s next words, and I couldn’t help but stare at her with hateful eyes.

“Seems to have forgotten that she was an insignificant prostitute, she drugged her and forced her to mingle with men when she wasn’t meeting Lawton. The day I threw the drugged Raphael to the men like usual. Lawton comes to me. Do you know what he said He put on her happy face and said he would marry her.”

Tarantra added her words in a calm voice with a smile as if recalling her memory.

“That was when I couldn’t contain my laughter the most.”

Tarantra, who had a happy expression on his face, asked me, as if he were boasting about a martial arts story.

“What would I have done after hearing what Lawton said? Guess it.”

I stopped looking sideways at the status window at Tarantra’s gaze, as if observing me, and put her gaze down as if I was worried.

“Congratulations… I must have laughed inwardly.”

At her reply, Tarantra slammed her thighs with her palms, laughing out loud at her delight.

“That is correct. I said that and went straight to Sir Orwell. Lawton is obsessed with women, neglecting his studies, and thinking about getting married, he might quit the Mage Tower.”

Tarantra’s words reminded me of what I had seen in my vision. The reason for breaking the promise to release the restrictions once the magic theory is completed… It was because of Tarantra.

“Cyr Orwell, the former master of the Mage Tower, was a greedy old man. In the end, as I expected, Lawton and Raphael met less and less often. Of course, as much as that, Raphael has more days to mix with men.”

“Crazy bastard….”

In the vision, I could see how much Lawton missed Rael. I couldn’t help cursing because I remembered how Tarantra had comforted Lawton who was having a hard time.

“You were right when I told the child to sell Platinum flowers to Lawton. However, I had no intention of giving Lawton the pain of loss. I just gave Raphael a chance to choose.”

Twisting an evil smile at the corners of her mouth, Tarantra added her words.

“Should I keep all my secrets and commit suicide by stabbing myself, or stab Lawton with a thorn and survive alone… I mean. You don’t have to tell me about the outcome of your choice, right?”

As if expecting my reaction, I silently raised my hand at Tarantula’s observing gaze, consuming 4P and choosing [Magic Amplification].

How to use the talent of mana amplification, like moving your limbs freely. Came to understand naturally.

“What are you doing?”

Looking at Tarantra watching my actions with puzzled eyes, I let go of the anger I had been suppressing and said.

“You… I will kill you.”

With those words, messages began to appear in front of my eyes.

[ Gias is triggered by the oath. ]

– Kill Tarantra.

[ Indomitable Courage is activated. ]

[ Magic Amplification is activated. ]

Intense mana emanated from my body, pushing away the Tarantra’s mana that was oppressing her body.

Tarantra immediately swung her wand and fired magic, but I opened the dimensional entrance to the space coordinates I recognized in advance, recognized the space coordinates outside the house that looked like a hole with the box Lawton had left, and escaped.

As soon as I landed, I safely put the box into the space storage and took out the spear of destruction.

Quaaang-!

With a roar, the house Tarantra had built collapsed, and Tarantra appeared with her thick magic.

“Do you think you can escape?”

I replied with a snort at Tarantra, who seemed to be laughing.

“I would have said I would kill you.”

“Dunjae who doesn’t know his subject…. Foolish.”

As Tarantra swung her staff, the ground cracked open and huge tree roots shot through my body.

The tree roots rushing in with furious momentum disappeared without a trace with a simple swing of the spear.

“What… ?”

At the bewildered Tarantra. Pulling out the full power of destruction, he aimed at the spear of destruction, the blade of which turned red.

“I will definitely kill you.”
