The D-Rank Guild Master of the No. 1 Guild-Chapter 77

What kind of will his Awakening Ambassador had.

'Whatever you do to me, that's fine. But you're the one who hurt Rudel.......'

["Erkata, you can't use fire right now! Your body can't hold up to the output a few times!"]

But it was too late. The flames from the outside of the world climbed up the boy excitedly and engulfed his body.

If Rudel's fire was like an object that followed the hand of its master, the flame of Erkata was like a dragon that lived and breathed and shivered in itself.

[Health] 88

Health: 86

The living flames devoured the boy's life.

When the character disguised as Ispan on the other side saw this, his eyes jumped out, and he turned around and started to run away.

Crackle!

["Uhkata! Stand still!"]

If you didn't know what was going on, you might have mistaken it for Erkata running away from Rudel.

But it was quite the opposite.

'Irkata is running after the enemy!'

Of course, this was what Rudel had hoped for, but it didn't have to be this way now.

["Don't chase me! It's going to be a trap!"]

Perhaps his sanity had finally returned, and Erkata stopped abruptly. But because of that, the movement was greatly shaken.

Tak-!

The next moment, someone else's hand stretched out, hiding behind the rocks in the cave.

His balance had already been shaken, and he was helpless when he was pushed.

As his body collapsed, a dizzying fall swept over him. I fell off a cliff beside my feet.

* * *

The glowworms of the cave flitted faintly, illuminating the boy's surroundings. Her fiery red hair vibrated faintly from time to time.

Amazingly, Akata miraculously did not die after falling from that height. Not forced to return to the fortress, but held out in the field.

Thanks to the health potion that was poured into every cooldown, the injured body gradually returned to normal.

After fainting for a moment, Erkata dreamed.

* * *

The smell of wood from the old furniture lingered on the tip of his nose.

"Whose name is on the chair at the dining table?"

"It's not the name of a person, it's the name of the company that made it."

Arya knew everything. But most of the questions went unanswered.

Now that I think about it, there were a lot of things he shouldn't have known, so he had deliberately glossed over them.

Nor would she ever tell me about herself or who the boy was.

He didn't know if Arya was her real name, or why he had to be alone with her in a space where he was cut off.

So, at that time, the boy thought that there were only two people in the world, Arya and himself.

"A character can survive in the real world....... Ok."

He jot something down in his journal, listening to Arya mutter, and pondering what "reality" is, but he couldn't come to any conclusions.

Arya didn't teach him anything, and the boy lost his curiosity.

Instead, he preferred to rub his forehead against Aria's shoulder.

Hands caressing the boy's hair. A faintly whispered voice. Warmth, blinking, and sparkling.

Why did such tender things come to be in the name of the past?

Why did he have to break up with her?

"Erkata, if something happens later....... Don't ever tell anyone about me, and if you tell anyone about me, then I'm going to die."

It was like hearing such a horrible thing in the middle of the night, but I tried to forget it. I wanted to forget.

But the very next day, Arya abandoned him.

The moment when my head was slammed into the chair with memories was just dizzying.

The boy violently fended off the hands of those who tried to drag him away, but the more he did so, the more brutal his force became.

The rebellious boy's clear skin turns bright red.

"Stop. Follow these guys."

Even more than the coercion of the mysterious black-clad monsters, that one word made him suffer more.

"Aria....... Don't leave me."

He begged fervently, tears streaming down his face. Please let him stay here, he pleaded with her moist eyes.

But to no avail. Coldly abandoned, he was forced to travel to places he didn't know.

That's how I finally found Rudel and settled down.

He slumped down in surprise to see the black man who had dragged him away in the living room of the Guild Fortress.

It turned out that the black man was not a real person, but an administrator of the system. There were countless beings that looked exactly the same.

Arya had never told him, but then the boy realized it for himself.

The place where he settled was in the game.

* * *

[“…… Kata."]

["Akata!"]

["Can it get up?"]

This person looks a lot like Aria.

The more they spent time together, the more different she was from Aria, but for now, she was the only one who could breathe Erkata.

Erkata stood up with his hands on the floor. He spat out the blood that had pooled in his mouth.

His body was throbbing, but he had no trouble moving.

“…… Yes, I can move."

Can you really move? For what? Why isn't Arya by your side?

Did you dare to live after being abandoned by Aria?

Ignoring the self-help question echoing in his head, he took another step, two steps back.

The pace quickened steadily.

* * *

Erkata was nicely caught in the enemy's lure.

They wasted their time lying at the bottom of the cliff, and by the time they had already made their way out, there were more than ten players who had already managed to escape.

How quickly you get to the way out and how many potions you use are all important factors that count towards your score.

If Urcata had listened to Rudel's advice not to chase him, it would have been a better result.

But instead of blaming Erkata, Rudel just kept hanging around, raising her voice to see if he would blame herself.

["It hurt a lot. Thank you for holding up so well. I should have done better......."]

["Oh, don't be discouraged, though. The path down the cliff here is closer to the escape route. Maybe I'll be able to get there sooner as a result!"]

It was strange.

The more Erkata was with this person who resembled Aria, the more he forgot about her instead of remembering her more vividly.

"Stop, follow these guys. I can't be by your side anymore."

I met Aria in my dreams, whom I had longed to see, and Rudel's voice next to me felt sweeter than her last voice.

“…….”

Rudel didn't see Erkata's darkened face. As they approached the way out, Rudel was silent.

In fact, it had to be. Rudel had to take care of Lilit at the same time as he guided Erkata.

She seemed too busy going back and forth between the two of them.

Then Rudel returned to this side, and her voice rang out again.

["Erkata, I've got a bit of a setback. Can you stop and wait?"]

The way out is just around the corner? But for now, Erkata obeyed Rudel.

At the very beginning, Ercata and Lyrit were located at the opposite ends of a huge cave.

Still, Rudel calculated everything: the structure of the cave, the route of the other players, and the speed of the two men.

So, even though the starting point may be different, we planned to meet at the end at the exit.

However, there was a setback on the Lilit side, and Erkata was the first to get near the way out.

The two had to work together for the first time.

In particular, in order for the weaker Erkata to escape the enemy's checks, he needed the newly discovered unique ability of Lilit.......

["I'll come back when things are resolved. Never, ever go to the escape before I come! It's dangerous!"]

Alone, Erkata suddenly put her hand on my chest.

Exciting.

Ever since he had recalled the last time he had with Aria in his dreams, he felt his heart beat faster than ever.

Then he muttered softly to the spot where Rudel had disappeared.

"Thank you, Rudel....... For giving me life."

He didn't know, but of course all the omniscient viewers were listening to this self-talk.

The next moment, the boy who had been standing still had the soles of his feet dropped.

Contrary to Rudel's instructions to wait quietly, he walked away at a steady pace.

In the cool, damp cave, the passage widened, and the front glowed brightly.

"Ugh!"

"You damn tentacle monster-!"

As I approached the exit entrance, I could hear the shouts and stomping of the feet of the other players facing the tentacle monster.

At the same time, flashes of light and heat glistened on the walls of the cave.

Without even thinking of hiding, Erkata crossed the threshold.
