83 – Ruby’s Spirit (5)

I wanted revenge.

I will definitely pay for my mother’s blood. I will slaughter the flesh and bones of that scum. Hatred at a young age became firewood. The firewood burns her own body hot.

Of course, there was no such thing as my own comfort. Ruby gritted her teeth and worked hard to become stronger. Perhaps that is why she chose her hammer as her weapon.

As cruel as possible. Like knocking on iron, which the scum loves so much. I will beat you to death in the same way. Perhaps it was chosen subconsciously according to the instinct of a dwarf.

For her, the Royal Knights was an excellent opportunity. The Royal Knights were the first multi-racial union knights. In addition, there are knights who can be said to be the strongest one by one.

No matter how trash Balak is. He is the head of one of the four jewels that support the Dwarf Principality. Of course, I didn’t think that I could fight and win without anything.

So, Ruby joined the Royal Knights. To become stronger than she is now. And to get revenge on that scum. It was annoying at first. From Kamp who is always by my side.

Even the seniors who treat me like a child and train them. Even though she didn’t have time for this. But, little by little, little by little, over time. Hatred faded.

She didn’t forgive the crap. Ever since her childhood, she has been violent with me and her mother. How can I forgive the garbage that killed my mother later?

[Boo, I’m sure you have a purpose.]

[…] ….]

[That, that, I won’t ask. Ha, but still, don’t arbitrarily sever the connection between friends. Ooh, we’re comrades fighting for our lives anyway…….]

[…] … Isn’t it funny to talk about it after knocking it down?]

Ruby’s senior and shooter was Bayard. At first she thought she was a timid idiot, but what the hell. When you open the lid, isn’t it an article with ridiculous power?

But simply because they have power. Ruby did not follow Bayard. Bay Yard always stayed by the side of the elusive Ruby and tried to take care of her somehow.

Thanks to Bayard’s efforts. Ruby slowly opened her heart to the Royal Knights. Her goal of killing Balak never changes. However, she changed her mind a bit.

If only I could kill Balak. From the dangerous thought of being willing to give my life, when it’s all over…… Still, I thought it would be nice to have a place to return to.

[As expected, the Royal Knights are fun. Each one is strong!]

[Stop talking nonsense and kill. This is an all-out battle with fate.]

[I think it’s a very dirty and cowardly move for something like that?]

[For victory. I am willing to do anything.]

However, even that place to return to has disappeared. After losing her mother, even the warm warmth she felt for the first time turned to ashes. If it weren’t for everyone’s sacrifice. We’ll all be dead

Precious things should be within sight.

Why? It reminds me of the teachings her mother taught her. We survived because we couldn’t die. The horrors and memories of that hell kept coming back without a break.

To alleviate even a little bit of anxiety. Ruby and Clara clashed arms every day. If I don’t do that, the nightmares of that time keep coming back to me. And then, she met the man.

The leader of the Royal Knights recommended by the human kingdom. In order to maintain the annihilated Royal Knights, at least formally. A human who was used only as a shield. He thought so until we met.

“But it wasn’t.”

Ruby forced herself to stand up. Her blood continued to flow unstoppably from the numerous wounds on her body. I hit her opponent with quite a few attacks, but soon came to her senses.

For some reason, Ruby had more scars. Although it could fly, it was not flying. Her long, ripped mouth looks like she’s laughing at herself.

There is an enemy in front of her eyes. A hated enemy who would not be happy even if he was torn to death right away. However, he cannot win on his own. Is it right to get out of here? Or is it right to die fighting?

‘…… Under.’

Ruby laughed. It was because the image of the man appeared in her mind just before her body and mind were about to break. Throwing oneself for the sake of strangers. What kind of idiot look.

He always cares a lot about others. On the subject of calling in the name of counseling and asking questions. He also sometimes yells in a stern manner. I really don’t know.

However, he did not feel bad. Rather, the clumsy look was cute. However, Ruby already knew. That’s what the leader looks like.

The leader is not an idiot. For some reason, he chooses to do the things he hates. If we are in danger, we are willing to give our lives. Why? She wondered why.

[Why does the leader deliberately choose to do something to be hated?]

[Even the behavior was clumsy, so it was all read.]

[That, well.]

[Maybe it’s because the leader has a story?]

[Story?]

Cluna said. There must be some circumstances with the captain. For example, the leader also lost his teammates. Like he doesn’t want to give affection to us, his new co-workers.

[Then why are you risking your life to help us?]

[Because that’s the leader.]

[…] … I’m afraid of losing a colleague, but I can’t leave it alone if the person in front of me is in danger. That kind of person, I think.]

Actually, the captain has never overlooked people in danger. The runaway Bayard, the brainwashed Yuren, the Dwarven Principality, the 12 tribes, and even the Elven Forest.

To be honest, it was so dangerous that it wouldn’t be strange to have several lives. As if it was only natural for the leader, he made the choice to save everyone. So, his words have power.

At some point, without even realizing it. He had to follow the commander’s footsteps. And it was the same even now. What the captain said while slapping his cheek earlier. Those words still linger in my ears.

[Say it again.]

[Whose life is meaningless?]

“……I’m sorry, Captain.”

I have been living for revenge. But, I’ve been through so much. Again, when I completely collapsed and lost hope, the leader held out his hand. He pointed out another way.

Now she has another goal. It is to follow the leader’s path to the end. That’s why, I couldn’t just get caught in a place like this. Sure to win

Did it respond to that will? Suddenly, ruby’s hammer began to burst into flames. The flames engulfed everything around it. The same goes for Balak, who became a demon.

[Cooling down the hot iron.]

[Knock the anvil, make a sword.]

[The flame is my soul.]

The hot flames leave traces on the ground. Leaving a blackened trace, Ruby glides. I rushed towards her Valak. Balak reacted skillfully. The results were quite different.

Balak’s two wings were all burned by the hot flames surrounding Ruby. Balak then realized that something was wrong. It’s already late. The wings are all burned.

What did I become such a monster for? It was all for the family. To make the highest art, the best sword! It was just for that. How dare you!

However, that thought could not be carried through to the end. Ruby’s hammer, wrapped in flames, landed on Balak’s head in an instant. A faint presence was useless in front of the hot flames.

Kwajik!!!

The ruby’s great hammer, clad in flame, completely shattered Balak’s head. If it was the old Ruby, I would have killed her with as much pain as possible. For some reason she didn’t.

[Are you satisfied?]

Ruby raised her head. She was in front of herself as a child. Is it welcome? Or is it something else? Anyway, she heard the question. I will have to answer Ruby smiled.

“It means being satisfied.”

If you can get revenge. Even if she is, the girl of her childhood who thought it was okay to give her own life is no longer there. Instead, she only has Ruby saying she wants to follow someone.

“Oh my, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen this power.”

“According to legend, the dwarves who ventured with the first hero used the power of flame.”

“Yes, that’s right. I was able to use the flames freely. But there hasn’t been a single one since then…”

“Perhaps in response to her burning soul.”

Cluna and Yuren talked while looking at Ruby returning proudly from a distance. Because they have lived a long time Of course I knew everything.

But I didn’t bother to explain it in detail. Because I thought the leader would know to some extent. If so, what is the leader thinking?

‘What is that? I don’t know, I’m scared.’

Correct answer.

I was scared by the power that was not shown in the game and setting.

Ding dong dang dong~♪
