The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed chapter 127

127 – Wheel

“The name of the church is similar to Chaos Church. Is it a coincidence?”

When he said it in a voice demanding an explanation, Estelle raised one corner of her mouth.

“It’s just a coincidence. Church doctrine says that everything started in chaos. Only the purest chaos can maintain order in the infinite universe. That is why the Church’s position is that humans were originally enslaved to chaos. It is for that reason that we study and use the power of chaos.”

When I created a group of villains called the cult, I didn’t think too deeply. The story in the second half was mainly about the confrontation between the hero and the demon king, so there was no need to elaborate on the setting of the church.

So, I just decided that it was a cult of chaos with the setting of a pseudo-following the popular [Chaos]. There was no particular intention or plan.

The Church was about the position of a mid-boss who was active in the early and middle stages. As they exit with Bella, their story will end in vain.

Estelle continued her words in a serious voice.

“I heard that long ago there were many people who wielded the power of destruction. They were called Transcendents, Heroes. It is said that at one time, it built a force so powerful that it was even said that it could destroy even a god. Unlike chaos, however, destruction dictates the fate of those who wield it.

Tragic death, betrayal, self-destruction. In that way, he left his name in the history books and left, and his power naturally collapsed. I heard that the few remaining were dealt with by the church because of the danger.”

I drool at the word “Processing”. After all, the power of destruction means being pushed back by chaos.

It was a big problem that destruction could affect my destiny and that I couldn’t use my strongest weapon when fighting the church.

At this rate, I might have to give up the Spear of Destruction. No, it was very likely. It wasn’t just the Spear of Destruction, I had another one.

Touching the oath ring on my finger, I said weakly.

“Then the Spear of Destruction will not be able to fight the Church that uses the power of chaos.”

“You can’t do that, you idiot. What did you just hear! Ruin is fundamentally a force similar to chaos. Even though they are literally similar, they are different, so just because you use the power of destruction doesn’t mean you can use the power of chaos. And vice versa.”

As I scratched my head, Estelle shook her head in a pitiful way and continued.

“Even chaos of the same nature has a difference in density. Even if you are a believer who knows how to deal with chaos, you will die with a single finger from the leader of the church. The reason why the power of destruction didn’t work on Dewyn was probably because the amount of destruction contained in the spear was insufficient.

If you increase the spear’s destructive power, you will be able to destroy even chaos. Of course, I don’t know how.”

At Estelle’s words, I let out a sigh. Ultimately, there is no way to solve this problem right away.

The fundamental problem is that, like Roel, he relies on his creative ability, not his own ability. I’m not a genius like Roel. Without the help of tools, he is an inferior student who is no different from a primitive man who cannot light a fire.

As I was thinking that I should find out more about the destruction, Estelle suddenly asked.

“What do you plan to do next? It’s vacation, so you must have more time now. When Amber comes back, will she be in full swing?”

“No. During this vacation, I will train to focus on growth.”

“Training?”

Estelle asked in a confused voice, perhaps not expecting my answer.

“There are no problems that need to be addressed right now. I plan to take this opportunity to grow as much as possible and start clearing the name of the killing department from next year.”

“Hmm, don’t you intend to completely disclose information about the future to me? In the meantime, wouldn’t it be better for me to prepare in advance?”

I shook my head, hesitant about what to say to Estelle who glanced at me.

“No. That alone can be dangerous.”

“That… what do you mean? Are you afraid that I will know the future and act on my own?”

Perhaps she thought she was suspicious, Estelle’s voice was higher than usual. I immediately shook my head to clear up the misunderstanding.

“Until now, the information sold to Modist was incidental information that did not affect the happy ending everyone wanted. To be honest, I can’t predict what variables would have arisen from that alone. There is a saying that the future changes just by observing it.”

I stopped talking for a moment and looked at Estelle. It was very inconvenient to not be able to see his expression because he was wearing a mask. I couldn’t tell if Estelle, who was staring blankly, understood my explanation, so I had no choice but to add an explanation.

“Every time I change something in the future, it will end up not even starting. The purpose of the killing part is to prevent things from interfering with the ending. I intend to use such information as deliberately as possible. Because there is nothing more variable than a change in flow to the person who reads the future.

If it’s really necessary, like Bella’s case, I plan to disclose the minimum necessary information, but it’s best for both of us to know the rest of the important flow.”

This wasn’t greed for information or to gain an upper hand in relationships. Literally, I was afraid of variables.

It is a novel whose ending has already been decided. In a situation where many things have changed just by possessing me, there was always a vague fear that my actions might change the ending.

“The bottom line is that we will give you the minimum amount of information. You greedy pig!!!”

As if in a play, Estelle swung her little fist.

“Because I can’t hand over important information to someone who isn’t sure I can see the future.”

At her counterattack, Estelle shrugged her shoulders.

“Yes, I still can’t fully trust you. Of course, you put up various evidence, but it’s important that these things are certain, right? When Amber gets back with her brother… Let’s talk about this again!”

“Good.”

The conversation was about to end. After getting Patulga’s magic book back and putting it in the space storage. I gazed at the glossy old wooden desk and told the last purpose of my visit to Modist.

“Oh, and give me some money. As many as possible.”

“… ?”

I could feel the bewilderment behind the mask, but I said it humorously with a shameless smile.

“It’s a shared destiny now.”

***

Although I was scolded by Estelle for a few minutes, she was able to get paid more than expected.

She had been living on the money she received from Roel as pocket money, but now that she had a partner named Estelle with a strong pocket, she didn’t have to pay attention to Roel.

The club room must have been empty after everyone went home, but I went to the club room out of habit. In fact, I had nowhere else to go, and now the club room was my home.

There were 5 of us when we left, but when we returned, it felt a bit bittersweet to be alone.

I didn’t meet anyone until the stairs going down to the basement of the main building.

Lycan’s special training begins next week. I don’t know what kind of training it will be, but it’s a training that even Roel had a hard time with. In order to make up my mind, I was going to lay down on the bed and roll around.

But in front of the club room, an unexpected person was waiting for me.

With black hair that reached her shoulders, white skin that was transparent enough to show thread veins, clear features, and beautiful eyes resembling obsidian that drew people’s attention, the girl had a calm expression as if thinking about something.

I hadn’t expected her to come to this place at all, so I couldn’t help but stop her in a panic.

But she must have heard footsteps down the hallway, and Ellie, who was leaning her back against the wall, turned her head. As our eyes met, I felt a strange feeling as if someone was lifting my heart.

Ellie greeted us with a bright smile as always.

“Hi, Ross!”

After meeting Roel, she was the Ellie I had never met. In addition to her sudden meeting, seeing Ellie acting as usual unlike me made me feel awkward.

I took another step and approached Ellie.

“No… Big! Hi.”

My voice fell silent, and I cleared my throat and greeted again.

At that appearance, Ellie smiled beautifully with her obsidian-like eyes shining.

“I was worried when I heard that you were admitted to the ward.”

Saying that, Ellie suddenly took a step closer to me. As they got closer to each other, a pleasant scent was carried by the wind to the tip of her nose.

“No big deal. It happened while training….”

Ellie looked at me blankly, and I blurted out her words. The place where Ellie’s gaze lands feels like it’s getting hot summer sunlight.

“Then I’m glad. I was really worried.”

When Ellie said that she was worried about me, I reflexively felt a strange feeling. Trying to deny that, I had no choice but to bite my lip.

Am I still unable to let go of her feelings for Ellie? I hated it. I forcibly recalled her thoughts about Luna. Instead of calming down, I felt like I was weighed down with guilt. I didn’t want to exploit her feelings for Luna in this way.

Ellie looked at me as if observing and said quietly with a soft smile.

“Thanks to your advice that day, I was able to finally achieve my dream.”

Ellie mumbled, then let out a short breath.

I suddenly felt like covering my ears with anxiety.

“I am officially dating Roel oppa.”
