I Became the Younger Brother of the Female Protagonist in the Novel

He began to envelop his surroundings in blue light while making his body shine brightly.

It’s not blinding, but it’s at least enough light to see the environment within a radius of 5m with the naked eye.

“… … First, let’s go down this way.”

A huge aisle connected left and right.

Following my intuition, I moved my steps to the aisle on the right.

While stepping on the rocks that fell from the ceiling and moving, I noticed that the floor had become flat before I knew it.

“This… … Is it concrete?”

The gray floor was cold as if a chill had risen, but flat as if someone were ironing it.

I touched the floor with my left hand, and when I saw that my palm was full of dust, I brushed it off.

“Ugh… … .”

I took out the black cloak I had prepared in advance from my subspace pocket and put it on as if to hide my whole body.

Then, after taking out the staff, I put the lantern in my armpit for a while… … .

No, you don’t need a lantern? Because the blue light emitted by Endairon is enough to secure sight. Then you won’t need to increase the weight unnecessarily.

“Let’s put the lantern in.”

Thanks to Endairon, I was able to move with a slightly lighter body.

-It’s a pretty old passage. Dust on the ground… … .

At his murmur, I nodded and lowered my gaze to my feet.

And my eyes flashed as if I had discovered something.

“… … damn!”

As Endairon said, dust was piled up on the ground.

I confirmed that a while ago, so there’s no reason to react too loudly.

What surprised me was the footprints on the dust.

Yes, if my sister had safely descended underground, we could have guessed her survival by checking the size of the footprints.

but… … .

“Damn it!”

One small footprint presumed to belong to my sister. And next to it, another footprint believed to be that of an adult male was found.

The possibility that someone is chasing you, and the possibility that you are chasing someone.

Two possibilities can be considered.

Hopefully, we won’t be walking side by side.

Thinking of the worst case, I hurriedly started running down the tunnel-shaped passage.

-Is that the Kravey guy you were talking about?

“ha… … . ha… … . I don’t know either! In the original story, Kravey didn’t go underground. According to the original story, it would be more appropriate to run away after defeating the imperial soldiers… … .”

Its goal is to be an S-rank monster that exists in the depths of Heartron Dungeon.

Kravey, who had completely forgotten about the practical skills evaluation at the academy, accidentally encounters his sister, and immediately exits the dungeon, leaving behind her sister who fell underground.

Tadadadadadat!

I bit my lip. And he breathed heavily.

When the nervousness and anxiety slowly started to increase.

– Avoid!

At the same time as Endairon’s cry, a huge fireball flew from the front.

Startled, I slipped to the ground and dodged the fireball.

“Keugh… … . uh, what… … .”

After splendidly rolling on the floor, I looked ahead with a puzzled face.

After a while, the sound of shoes lingered in my ears, and soon a middle-aged man with dark hair came into view.

A middle-aged man, probably in his 40s or 50s, wearing a black uniform and suit pants, as if his entire body was covered in black, and wearing black horn-rimmed glasses.

I narrowed my brows while looking at him.

He glanced over at Endairon before I could say anything, and then asked a question.

“Who are you?”

“That is what I want to ask you. I am an imperial knight dispatched to find the missing academy students.”

“… … A knight of the imperial family at that age? No, I see… … There was a kid who joined the Imperial Knights at the age of 15. Obviously, the name… … Schubert.”

“Yes, I am Schubert.”

I answered confidently.

Rather, who is Schubert? No, who cares? Apparently, he doesn’t even know the face of that guy named Schubert.

Meanwhile, at my confident answer, he smiled and gently lifted the black staff he was holding in his right hand.

“… … is it. I never thought that the youngest person in the imperial family who had reached the highest level of expertise would be sent to such a basement.”

… … Oh, was Schubert the prosecutor?

Assuming that Schubert was a magic knight, I quietly hid the staff in my right hand behind my back.

Then I turned my gaze to Endairon, who nodded once as soon as he received my gaze.

“It is more surprising than that. Did you make a contract with the spirit as well as swordsmanship? It’s a really scary talent.”

I was taken aback by his remarks.

No, is it weirder to be surprised?

The Endairon that radiated blue light beside me. Even if you can’t see the form of the spirit accurately, if you have eyes, this light will be visible to anyone.

“I introduced myself, so would you like to introduce yourself?”

“Oh, excuse me. My name is… … .”

“Element Magic – Rock Cannon!”

Shunwaaak-!

Tuquaaang!

Before he could finish his words, a huge rock spinning at high speed hit him.

Chapter 57

57. The Third Apostle, Cravey (3)

Yes, I obviously asked for a self-introduction. But you didn’t say a word about being quiet, did you? So I wouldn’t call it cowardly.

I convinced myself like that and immediately prepared a new magic.

‘In a space like this, 6th circle magic would be dangerous… … ?’

A moment of deep thought.

-danger… … !

With a short shriek from Endairon, a water barrier unfolded before my eyes.

and… … .

Pew-!

A black beam of flame that tried to pierce the barrier and devour me.

I canceled the prepared attack magic and hurriedly cast the defense magic in the huge heat in front of me.

“Defense Magic – Absolute Barrier!”

Kwaaang!

Was it because the magic was too late? A portion of the beam penetrated the magic barrier.

“Kwaaa!”

A huge shock occurred in the face and right arm.

Do you feel like you’re on fire?

At the same time, as a foul smell began to rise up my nostrils,

“… … !”

I almost stopped gagging.

However, the intense pain was more shocking than the smell.

The moment when my skin was tanned and my head was about to be bleached white.

– Hold on! Maintain the barrier or you will die!

Endairon’s cry was heard.

Thanks to that, I was able to maintain the barrier even though I struggled to keep my eyes open.

Endairon screamed at me but healed my wounds with spiritism.

What would have happened without this guy… … .

Even in the pain of dying, I felt grateful for his existence.

After a few seconds, the black beam stopped.

“… … You can use the magic of the 6th circle, ‘Absolute Barrier’? Moreover, a contract with a higher spirit… … . You bastard, what is your true identity!”

I gritted my teeth and blinked my eyes at the guy’s cry full of astonishment.

In my field of vision, I saw the face of a man with a surprised expression.

You must have already confirmed that I am not Schubert.

But he must have been quite surprised.

A being who made a contract with a higher level spirit while using 6th circle magic. Besides, even though I didn’t reveal all of my face through the cloak, I could have guessed from my height that I was in my early teens.

“Big… … . sh*t.”

I glared at him while muttering swear words.

In an instant, several thoughts were jumbled in my head, which had become a blank page.

And I don’t know if it’s because I want to sit down on the floor and rest, but I moved my mouth before thinking with my head.

“… … We are Darkness. They are beings living in darkness.”

-What are you saying… … .

I couldn’t even hear Endairon’s words.

“You must be the third apostle of the Death Parade, Kravey, right?”

“Your boy… … ?!”

Seeing Kravey’s embarrassed appearance, the corners of my mouth drew an arc at will.

Rather, what am I talking about?

“We will one day rule this world in the dark. Most of the information about the Death Parade has already been secured. Oh, I see… … They are also quite closely related to the Spey One family.”

“… … .”

When the name of Spay One was mentioned, Kravey’s face contorted.

My lips went up as if they were going to catch on my ears.

“I have a suggestion for you guys.”

“proposal… … say?”

“Come into Darkness. The person we serve is a very generous person. If you guys join us… … . You will be able to make a contract with the spirits.”

“What nonsense is that!”

“We have the technology to forcibly summon the spirits and the domination technology to manipulate their minds. With all of your abilities, it’s only possible to command intermediate level demons… … . Wouldn’t it be better to use a higher level spirit rather than a lower level demon?”

At my remark, he gave a visibly embarrassed expression.

“why… … How much do you know?”

“You said ‘most’? By the way, who is behind you guys… … He too has been investigated.”

“… … !”

Really, what am I talking about?

I matched the stories as they were connected and smiled without thinking.

On the other hand, Kravey’s eyes widened in shock at my relaxed smile.

and… … .

‘ah… … .’

My sister’s face flashed into my mind.

At that moment, I brought up a new topic.

“More than that, it was quite noisy outside because of the disturbance you guys caused. No way, we didn’t expect to attack the third daughter of the Spay One family.”

“… … If she hadn’t tried to disrupt the plan, I wouldn’t have attacked her either.”

His answer brought my mind back for a moment.

“so… … Did you kill her?”

At this moment, my mind was very clear.

And with all my attention focused on Kravey’s answer.

From noble mtl dot com

He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

“… … I do not know. I was thinking of excluding witnesses, but I was interrupted in the middle so I couldn’t confirm whether they were alive or dead. But if these footprints are hers… … It must mean that you are alive.”

I let out a small sigh inside. That’s a sigh of relief.

For now, it’s enough just to confirm that my sister wasn’t killed by him.

“okay. Well, the second apostle is said to be hiding many secrets even from his children… … . Sophia, who has a high sense of justice, wouldn’t have easily let go of your demonic energy.”

The second apostle is Grans H Spay One. Yes, it refers to my father.

I made eye contact with him and waved my hand.

“Anyway, if you don’t want to fight me, go out first. I was ordered to investigate this dungeon. Well, I did a surprise attack, but you attacked first, didn’t you? Besides, since I took more damage, let’s just end it at this level. I don’t want to go all out in such a confined space.”

Did he remember the surprise attack on me during self-introduction? The boy frowned slightly.

But there was nothing wrong with my remarks. It’s true that the guy took the lead.

I thought in my heart, ‘Go now. please go away I’m going to die of pain!’, and hoped that Kravey would return quietly.

And did you listen to my wishes?

“… … I will.”

Kravey nodded.

“Consider slowly whether you want to come under our Darkness or fight against it. Will your plans go as expected… … .”

“… … .”

“Ah, by the way, you shouldn’t touch the ‘power’ you so much want, so if possible, give it up.”

Kravey’s face contorted.

“… … sh*t, did you even have a spy hidden inside the church!”

“Hmm, I’ll answer that part with no comment. But like I said at the beginning, we know you deep down.”
