The D-Rank Guild Master of the No. 1 Guild-Chapter 78

* * *

"Come and roll up your sleeves, get a shot."

Arya led him, and the boy hesitated.

"Well, then, it hurts again......."

"Shut up, yes. I told you it was a necessary injection, didn't I? …… Instead, if you get this shot, I'll pet you and stay with you all night."

The fluid injected through the needle led him into a pang, which seemed to crush every cell in his body.

The act ignored the rules of life that separated the world from the world, and slowly damaged his body.

[Base Stats] A

[Base Stats] C

[Base Stats] F

Every time I got the shot and looked up in a blurred vision, what kind of face was Arya on?

Arya had never felt sorry for him.

If she shared his pain, she wouldn't be so icy when she gave him the injection.

But Erkata thought hard.

I can't help it because it's necessary, and Arya cares about me.

That's why he was always there for me on the day I got the injection.

But there's one scene I've been trying to get out of my head all along.

At his bedside, unconscious, Aria was.......

Casually, he was just engaged in inscribing the words in his journal.

And so Arya left, and another shining person came to him.

We don't know why Rudel resembles Aria. But the thought that looms in my mind more than the question is that this is a second chance.

A chance for the boy to live again.

'What can I do to avoid being abandoned this time?'

After thinking about it, he wanted to help him, so he started working out with the determination to die on the training ground.

Immediately afterwards, as I was wandering around the temple, a sweet lump of water suddenly flowed into my mouth.

Its sweetness, like the water of life, energized him.

I opened my eyes and there was Rudel.

"I'm glad I did. It's all right?

Rudel's caressing was much softer than the blanket wrapped around her.

Erkata smiled lazily. He also said a few words in response to Rudel's words.

The sweetness that was still lingering in her mouth moisturized her lips.

"Huh....... I'm sorry, Erkata. It hurt a lot. I shouldn't have made him do that. Everyone may call you weak, but you are not. Where's the kid who can put up with this kind of pain? You're the bravest man in the world."

I've always thought that Rudel was more sober and rational than Aria.

Rudel put his head on his hands and sighed, revealing his weak side. Nothing else, just the pain she had to endure.

"But that's enough. I think I'll be able to take the elixir regularly from now on."

The phrase "I do something on a regular basis" struck a chord with Erkata.

“…… Are you sick?"

"Huh? Did you get sick when you just ate a peach? Are you allergic?"

Realizing that the elixir Rudel had spoken of meant the peach he had just eaten, Erkata hesitated and replied:

"Oh, no......."

"Right?"

In his sleep, he heard Rudel muttering to himself, "Do I need to recruit a new guild member.......

When I lay on the bed and asked what it meant, Rudel hesitated.

Then, a little later, they were talking about the subject again at the training ground.

Erkata knew he wasn't quite there yet, but he said with a broken heart.

"If Rudel really wants to recruit new guild members, that's fine....... I think Rudel wants to be the way it is."

"So don't bring in other guild members. I'll be as wonderful as you. I'll be strong."

"So if I'm going to be great....... Then you use everything I have."

* * *

As people poured in from all sides, the boy's response was rather feeble. He just held out one of his palms.

The next moment, there was a jolt that sounded like a burst of frantic energy.

Jiying!

It was a great tragedy for those who had just not realized what tinnitus was.

But even if they had known what it meant, how could they have dealt with it?

The boy in front of them is a completely different being.

"Ahh.......h

The screams were quickly swallowed up by the flames.

The pain of burning was horrible, and the boy's flames knocked him unconscious and burned his body before he could fully feel the pain.

It may have been a mercy for those who were sent back to the fortress immediately upon death, but it was hell in itself for those who watched from afar.

Something popped out of hell. Flames burst into flames that would melt the entire cave.

Queek!

The fire roared in the form of a phoenix, reaching to the ceiling, and then scattering the entire area like a volcano.

The boy's clothes burned a little at the ends, and then they burned at the corners and faded away on their own.

It was one of the effects of the boy's trait.

A graphic that shows his precarious side and his sharp side in three dimensions at the same time.

[Health] 73

He has created a flame out of his body, and the flame must burn even the boy's life force as raw material. Until now.

But the real awakening went in the exact opposite direction.

[Health] 73

[Health] 75

[Health] 78

The phoenix, an animal of unquenchable vitality, took over the ceiling and flew straight down on the boy.

Erkata smiled softly at the flames that nodded at him.

The phoenix's figure, which seemed to blind him just by looking at it, was silent in front of the boy.

Now I know.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

If I want to use my power to the fullest, I just need to copy you.

Rudel, to him...... You just have to give yourself completely.

I will choose to love him.

Name: Acata

Then, following the boy's silent fingertips, the flames rushed furiously.

Bang!

Compared to the big tentacle monster, the phoenix looked no more than a small stone.

Soon, however, the blue flames began to spread from where the phoenix had struck.

Ugh!

The tentacle monster, which until now had only been able to withstand the attacks of weak players, went on a rampage.

The long tentacles constantly tried to escape the flames, but to no avail.

Shockingly, the monster's massive body gradually melted. Soon after, a tremendous roar echoed through the area.

[Acata player has done a total of 1897384 damage!]

It was far beyond the health of a tentacle monster.

[Overwhelming No. 1 in the current ranking, Agatha Guild!]

Acata will never be counted as a lower ranking again.

* * *

Fast forward a moment to the end of the third round: Rudel jumped down from the observation deck and was stopped by a red-haired boy.

Erkata stared at the flame burning like a candle on the tip of his index finger for a moment, then blew out the embers with a small breath.

"Rudel, are you here?"

He smiled sheepishly and looked back at Rudel.

[Emotional state]

[Emotional state] -

[Emotional state]

The three words of 'Loss' that had been sitting heavily in place lost their power, blurred, and dragged downward.

The implications were stark.

Rudel's eyes were perfectly frozen, and the momentary change in her erkata was good.

How did that helpless child grow up so fast?

The dazzling child seemed to have shaken off something since he had mastered the phoenix in his own power, and the light of his soul was truly brilliant.

Feeling overwhelmed, Rudel casually placed his hand on his heart.

…… Apparently my heart was racing.

* * *

"Ha.......h

Prior to Erkata's performance, Lyrit had been running to his death, barely outpacing his pursuers.

Then he leaned against one of the large stalagmites and caught his breath.

'Are you okay?'

Rudel's alter ego was worried.

As if Lilit's pain was her own, the translucent figure bit its lip and held out its hand. But it didn't reach.

Because of the damn rules, I couldn't touch him with my hands or lift him up. All he could do was watch and give directions.

How many times did Rudel slam the control stick on the observation deck? Venting his frustration at not being able to take it upon himself.

No matter how much Rudel led by his side, it was Lilit who was the one who moved.

His base stats have been raised to an average of C, but his natural athleticism is so poor that he is too easily targeted.

"We need to destroy the Agatha Guild that won first place in the last round.

"Let's make a pincer attack. Let's just kill Agatha and we'll compete among ourselves again.......

No matter how much Lyrit looked like a goblet, it was impossible for him to escape the target as long as there was a plaque on the back that read Agatha's Guild.

Her lungs, which seemed to be shrunken, soon calmed down, but she couldn't lift her head.

'It's hard....... I'm sad.'

The gaze of others as if they were a thorn in the side.

'It's too much for me to stand ....... alone'
