Chapter 162 - Chapter 161: Dead End

One Piece World

"There really are some terrifying little monsters in that other world!"

Kizaru looked at Eris in amazement, wondering how she could possess such power at such a young age.

They were far from that strong when they were children. It was an achievement just not to be swallowed by a monster back then.

But Eris was even more extreme; she seemed more excited to see the monsters than the monsters were to see her.

If she grows up, what level of strength will she reach? I'm afraid even Hawk-Eye's swordsmanship might not be able to keep up with her!.....

Sword Art Online World

"The monsters in this world are just too big!"

Klein felt that the monsters he faced were like docile little lambs in comparison.

But then again, the monsters in his world were all created by human programs.

"I really wish I could be reborn in a world of swords and magic."

Klein felt more and more that he was born in the wrong world, even entertaining the thought of suicide and starting over.

The awakening of a severely internet-addicted youth is no joke!.....

Mushoku Tensei World

In the Tavern

"My brother is a big idiot!"

Whenever she found an opportunity, Norn would sneer at Rudeus.

In her eyes, his initial hesitation to save people was utterly shameful.

"Norn! Don't talk about your brother like that!"

Paul looked slightly serious. Only through the screen did he understand what Rudy had been through.

Their adventures back then weren't like this. A single misstep could mean losing their lives.

He no longer dared to ask for Rudy's forgiveness; he just hoped he could live on...

[Screen Continues]

[Rudeus saw off the three-person team and entered the depths of the forest once more....]

[At that moment, the sounds of battle came from afar, accompanied by shrill screams...]

[Rudy and the others rushed over quickly...]

[Upon reaching the battlefield, the ground was covered in blood. Seeing the severed limbs again caused Rudy inner discomfort....]

[Just then, a massive red snake clamped down on the adventurer who had mocked them earlier in its mouth....]

["It's a Red Cobra!"]

[Ruijerd recognized it instantly. This kind of monster was not something B-rank adventurers could handle....]

["What do we do now!?"]

[Eris seemed a bit anxious. If they didn't act, the pig-headed man would be bitten to pieces!]

[Rudeus steadied his mind and confirmed they could deal with this monster....]

["We must save them this time!!!"]

[As the words fell, the three instantly sprang into action....]

[——Stone Cannon——]

[The several-foot-long cannonball shot out like a beam of light, but was easily dodged by the Red Cobra....]

["Hiss!!!"]

[It twisted its snake head, opened its foul-smelling mouth, and dove down to bite Ruijerd....]

[Ruijerd easily dodged with a roll. He leaped dozens of meters, and the cursed spear pierced the demon snake's side....]

["Ahhhh!!!"]

["Thud!!!"]

[With Ruijerd's roar, he instantly tore a gash about ten meters long along the demon snake's side....]

[Eris jumped onto the cobra's tail and slashed at it...]

["Boom!!!"]

[The demon snake's skin was as hard as metal...]

[It swung its tail, instantly sending Eris flying...]

[Eris flew dozens of meters through the air, only stabilizing her body by stabbing her dagger into a dead tree!]

[Rudeus continuously used magic from the edge, frantically creating interference...]

[But the Red Cobra was too fast to aim at. It took advantage of the dust to burrow into the ground in an instant....]

["Hiss!!!"]

[Suddenly, it emerged from the ground right beside Rudy...]

[Ruijerd appeared in front of Rudy at lightning speed, blocking the huge snake body with just one hand without even taking a step back....]

["Eris!!!"]

[The moment Ruijerd finished speaking, Eris raised her dagger high and used all her strength to slash the Red Cobra in half....]

["Swoosh!!!"]

[The snake's body was split into two once more...]

["Now's the chance!"]

[Rudeus reacted, and a magic cannonball pierced through its chest. Blood sprayed out like a fountain....]

[The smell of blood and the stench of corroded flesh filled the area....].....

"This A-rank monster was defeated so easily. Worthy of Dead End!"

They felt regret that the Blaze team was wiped out like this.

But as adventurers, they had long since made peace with life and death.

What about their belongings now?...

Some people quickly left, preparing to go to the Petrified Forest to scavenge....

[On Screen]

[Rudeus still failed to save the adventuring team. After a few seconds of mourning...]

[Adhering to the fine tradition and the spirit of 'finders keepers', they happily accepted the supplies left by the Blaze team....]

[In the evening, they returned to the city...]

[The Centaur Nokbara blocked their way with a smug look on his face....]...

Adventurer's Guild, Rikarisu City

"Nokbara, how come you're still alive while Mantis Man and the others are gone!"

"How did you survive?"

"Could it be you've been hiding your strength? But you weren't even afraid of that god-killing demon Ruijerd!"

The adventurers all looked at Nokbara, who was drinking in the corner.

Because he had a horse's face, you couldn't tell what his expression was. In short, he seemed very calm.

Could he really be that powerful already?!

"Mr. Nokbara, can we follow you!"

But Nokbara didn't reply to the adventurers at all.

Instead, his whole body was trembling. When he remembered what happened that day, fear kept flooding his heart.

"Huff... huff..."

Nokbara gasped for air and collapsed to the ground from excessive tension.

White foam foamed at his horse's mouth, his eyes rolled back....

[On Screen]

[Nokbara knew about their quest exchange and planned to blackmail them...]

[But Eris couldn't stand what he was saying. Ruijerd looked at him with a gloomy expression....]

[Rudeus took a deep breath, held Eris's hand, and smiled to reassure her....]

["I must bring this child, Eris, home..."]

["To that end... I'll destroy this city if I have to..."]....

"What arrogance!!!"

When the demons in the city saw this scene, they realized the sudden darkness that day was actually due to Rudeus's magic.

"Where is Nokbara! Is he still alive?"

"He must be sacrificed to appease Rudeus's anger!"

They were terrified. How dare he provoke Dead End? They had seen Rudeus's water magic before!

It would be utterly effortless for him to destroy their entire city!....

[On Screen]

[Rudeus's face was full of smiles, but the staff in his hand emitted astonishing power fluctuations....]

[The sky gradually darkened, and clouds began to condense into dark storm clouds...]

[Suddenly, Ruijerd washed the dye from his hair, shaking off the juice to reveal his original green color....]

[When Nokbara saw this, he was so frightened his horse legs trembled uncontrollably, sweating profusely. He backed away, his horse mouth trembling incessantly....]

["You..."]

["De...DeDeDe..."]

["Dead End!!!"]

[This panicked cry attracted the attention of all the demons....]

[When they saw the green-haired demon, they had only one thought: run, run as far away as possible!]

[The will to survive drove them to escape with all their might!!!].....

Inside the Tavern

Norn found Ruijerd's hair-flipping action inexplicably cool.

She had gone from being initially scared of him to feeling a little admiration now.

"Dad, can I be an adventurer too?" Norn asked weakly, tugging at Paul's clothes.

Paul was stunned. He patted her head, thinking she wanted to become a magician like Roxy, and said with a smile, "Of course, you can in the future. You will definitely become an excellent magician!"

The young Norn looked at the handsome Ruijerd, her admiration growing.

Paul suddenly felt something was amiss, but couldn't quite place it.....

[On Screen]

[The rain came, falling on them...]

[Ruijerd walked straight up to Nokbara, grabbed his horse neck with one hand, and lifted him into the air....]

["Sorry... I didn't know who you were..."]

["Please... Spare me... I... have children..."]

[Nokbara's textbook begging earned him a chance at forgiveness....]

["We will leave this place... So forget about everything!"]

[Ruijerd's fierce and ferocious face made Nokbara's hooves tremble in fear. If he dared say a single "no," his neck would be snapped!]

[Nokbara was so frightened he fainted....]

[Ruijerd threw him down and turned to leave the city....]

[Rudeus looked at the three-person team who had collapsed in fear and felt deeply disappointed. Ruijerd was clearly their savior....]

[Finally, Rudeus and Eris packed their things and came outside the city...]

[Ruijerd was already waiting for them outside....]

[He was a proud warrior who would keep his promise and send them back to their homeland!]

[The next day...]

[Rudeus looked at Ruijerd in shock. The handsome uncle had turned bald....]

[Although Ruijerd was bald, he felt refreshed like never before!]
