Everyone was completely numb. With such a huge hole in his chest, he didn't even die!
"Is this Dragon God really as bad as the Human God said?"
They didn't know who to believe now. The Human God had also helped Rudeus and improved the situation.
Although the Dragon God was violent, he held no killing intent towards others. He was solely focused on the Human God, wanting to kill him.
Human God: "Should I thank him for that?"
Many people gave up after thinking about it. Why were they so flawed? Was this something they should even be contemplating?
Mushoku Tensei World - In an Inn in the Shirone Kingdom
"Rudeus... Thank you..."
Ruijerd touched his bald head, turned around, and cried softly in the corner...
A warrior strong as iron, who would not show weakness in the face of powerful enemies, cried because of the restored honor of his clan.
Rudeus quietly led Eris out of the room and onto the street.
"Eris, Philip, and the others must have seen us too."
"Mhm! Rudeus, please don't just talk to anyone by yourself in the future!"
"And don't trust the Human God easily; that guy is definitely not a good person!"
Eris now hated the Human God intensely. Not only had he failed to save Rudeus, but because of him, Rudeus had almost been killed by the Dragon God!
If it weren't for the girl named Seven Stars, the future Rudy would have died.
"I know, I know!"
Rudeus patted her head helplessly. He couldn't just refuse the Human God when he came looking for him!
But before he came to the Shirone Kingdom, the Human God had never appeared again.
It was better to say he was the Human God. After being exposed for the first time, he hadn't been sought out again!
The Dragon God was definitely not the evil dragon he made him out to be!
There was a major problem with the Human God!
The Human God in the void decided to disappear for a while and no longer appear randomly in his apostle's dreams.
After all, he couldn't defeat the Dragon God, so he could only make new plans.
"The future must develop in my favor!"
"Light Screen, I advise you to know your place and not expose all my plans and my apostles!"
The Human God's ferocious eyes grew increasingly ugly.....
[The Screen Continues]
[Rudeus sat on his newly purchased horse, studying the Chaos Magic unleashed by the Dragon God....]
[This was definitely a major trump card in battle. Using Ran Ma[1] at the critical moment when the opponent was casting magic would definitely yield unexpected results....]
[Eris looked at Rudeus quietly and unconsciously leaned her head against his back, relying on him more than before....]
[Finally, they returned to the Fittoa region...]
[Everything here had been destroyed, completely different from the lush vegetation outside the region...]
[The entire region was lifeless...] .....
Beast Village
Kireina had returned and was surrounded by many people.
When she saw this scene, she unconsciously grew tense.
What expression should she use when facing Alice in the future?
At this moment, she was very uneasy, thinking it was her fault for failing to protect Philip and his wife...
[On Screen]
[Ruijerd had safely escorted them to their hometown...]
[And now it was time for him to leave...]
[All good things must come to an end...]
[Even though Rudeus and Eris were reluctant to part, they still chose to separate....]
[From the Demon Continent to the Millis Continent, and then to the Central Continent...]
[They had experienced countless trials and tribulations along the way. Their previous relationship had already surpassed friendship and become like family....]
[Ruijerd walked forward, then turned to look at the two of them....]
["Then I'll be leaving... Eris... Rudeus..."]
["See you later..."]
[Rudeus stared blankly as Ruijerd left. There were many things in his heart he wanted to say, but too many to express clearly....]
["Yes... We'll have chances to meet in the future..."]
["See you later..."] ...
"It seems I have fulfilled the promise between us...."
Ruijerd smiled happily. It seemed like this was the first time in hundreds of years.
Ever since the war between humans and demons, because of the demon Laplace, the entire Superd tribe became the object of contempt and disgust from all races overnight.
The four-hundred-year-old stigma had never faded. Instead, over time, they had become legendary man-eating monsters.
But from the moment he met Rudeus and the others, the trajectory of his fate changed.
When people encountered the Superd tribe, they no longer ran away in fear. Even if frightened, they could still communicate....
All thanks to Rudeus...
"Really, I owe him so much....".....
[On Screen]
[Rudeus and the others returned to the ruined town of Fittoa, where many tents were set up....]
[Everyone's faces no longer held the sunshine of the past; they were filled with dullness and despair....]
[For them, the Mana Calamity was no different from the end of the world....] .....
Lilia looked at this scene guiltily. If it weren't for her selfish desires, it wouldn't be like this.
Prioritizing heroes from another world over the lives of people in this world.
This was all her fault, and she couldn't bear the consequences...
"I'm sorry..."
But her apology was insignificant compared to this tragedy....
[On Screen]
[Eris spotted Kireina in the tent from the corner of her eye. Overjoyed, she rushed over without a care for her own safety....]
[Kireina was equally happy to see Eris alive...]
[But Eris learned the desperate truth from them...]
[Her grandfather and parents had passed away...]
[The Philip family had fallen into a conflict zone and were tortured to death as spies....]
[Sauros was sentenced to death for taking responsibility...]
[And Pilemon of the Notos family in the Asura Kingdom demanded that Eris become his concubine....] ...
"Ah... hehe... It's over... You're so cruel..."
Pilemon was so frightened he collapsed on the ground. His behavior was considered normal.
No one dared to refute this.
But now, times had changed. As long as the owner of the light screen intended it, everything he did would be exposed.
And now, who knew how influential Rudeus's voice was!
When the other powerful members of the Notos family saw this scene, they didn't even need to think about it.
This guy was useless. There was no need for him to remain family head. If the Notos family wanted to survive, he could only be sacrificed.
"Pilemon, we feel that Lord Paul would make an excellent leader. Please step down...."
The scumbag Pilemon was dragged out like a dead dog, his eyes vacant.
His carefree life was over...
[On Screen]
[Rudeus was relieved that Sylphiette was not on the death list. He could still find her even if she was missing....]
[Night...]
[Eris came to Rudeus's temporary residence...]
["Well... Rudeus... Be my family..."]
[Rudeus was stunned, thinking she needed someone else's comfort now....]
[But he couldn't think of any words of comfort...]
[After all, he was in a much better situation than Eris. All his family members except Zenith had been found, and they were all safe and unharmed....]
["Well... I learned this sentence from my mother..."]
["Because it's too embarrassing... I'll only say it once..."]
[Eris blushed slightly, turned sideways, and whispered softly: "I want to be Rudeus's kitten~ Meow~"]
[....] ...
"Wah... Rudy..."
Sylphiette felt a little uncomfortable in her chest, feeling as if something was slipping away from her...
But clearly, she was the first... then the second one came...
Now she was going to be the third!?
This wouldn't do!
The silent Fitts grew anxious; she had to be the first wife!
"Sylphie, there's news from the Notos family. The current head, Pilemon, has been removed by everyone due to his conduct...."
Ariel had no choice but to use other topics to snap her out of it.
But this method was a bit ineffective...
Sylphiette was already pacing back and forth, more anxious than Ariel, the princess who wanted to be queen...
[On Screen]
[Rudeus woke up early in the morning. He was very happy at first, but then he saw red hair on the ground and a letter....]
[Eris and Kireina had gone to the Sword Sanctum to learn swordsmanship....]
[She hoped to soon become a strong person who could help Rudy!]
[However, Rudeus misunderstood, and his reading comprehension was quite poor....]
[He believed Eris had abandoned him, which devastated him...]
[So he couldn't get up, holding the letter and crying until he reached the end of his rope...]
[Rudeus then became a decadent shut-in...]
[The screen changes...]
[Ruijerd helped everyone. Even when people saw his true appearance, they were no longer afraid but very grateful....]
[The Superd tribe were no longer the monsters people claimed they were....]
[The screen changes again...]
[Roxy saw the reunion of Paul and Lilia through the Demon Emperor's Magic Eye....]
[And where Zenith was....]
[The Labyrinth City of Rapan in the Begaritt Continent!]
[But even her Magic Eye couldn't clearly see her current state; she could vaguely make out a sleeping dragon....]
[When she saw Rudeus, she laughed like a pig...]
["Huh? Why does Rudeus look so down?"]
["Hahaha, are you hungry?"]
[At this moment, Rudeus recalled everything about his home....]
[This was the happiest time for their family...]
[Back then, he was scolding Paul....]
["Thank you... Rudy..."]
["No, no, this is what I should do... We're family!"]
["Rudy..."]
["Hmm?"]
["Mom loves you the most..."]
[Zenith's gentle smile healed Rudy's wounded heart...]
[In reality, Rudeus's eyes snapped open, and he said in a low voice: "I have to go."...]
[He slowly stood up, no longer decadent, his eyes becoming firm...]
["I..."]
["I have to go find Zenith...."]
[Rudeus took the step he didn't dare to take in his previous life...]
[He had completely said goodbye to the past!]
