Mushoku Tensei World
"Excellent! There's news about Zenith!"
"This is all thanks to the Demon Emperor!"
Paul's eyes filled with excitement. Now he had news about all his family members.
He just needed to gather a few more strong individuals to go into the labyrinth and rescue Zenith!
The more Paul thought about it, the more excited he became.
"Dad, will we see Mom soon?"
When Norn saw Zenith on the light screen, the longing in her heart suddenly surged forth.
"Of course!"
Paul hugged Norn and kept kissing her. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became!
In the Labyrinth City of the Begaritt Continent
The Hydra twisted its body, its heads staring at the light screen. It could tell that the dragon in the image was itself.
"Oh? Looks like they're coming to my labyrinth. As the master of this labyrinth, I'll have to take good care of them."
"Roar!!!"
Dragon flames swept around. It was determined to make these humans die without a proper burial.
As long as they weren't Sword Kings, it could handle anything!
In the Inn
Rudeus's mouth hung open; he truly couldn't comprehend this scene.
He never expected Eris to be so... fierce. The nickname "Mad Dog" was an understatement!
Had he misunderstood the letter's contents?
Was his reading comprehension really that poor? This was him, the one who had read thousands of novels?
He'd read Loneliness directly!
Rudeus was about to say something, but when he saw Eris's trembling expression, his heart ached.
Eris's parents were already dead, so why was he overthinking the letter's contents?
She was still right here with him now.
Wasn't that enough?
"Eris , I will be your family!"
Rudeus patted Eris 's head, his attitude resolute. No matter what happened in the future, he would marry no one but Eris !
"Rudeus..."
A tear slipped from the corner of Eris 's eye. She was holding back her tears, trying to be strong!
"So, tell me where you're going, otherwise I'll worry!"
If Eris was going to the Sword Sanctum to train, he would agree even if reluctant. He also knew Alice wasn't willing to be mediocre, and he understood just how strong she would become in the future—strong enough to be remembered by Boss Dragon himself!
"Mhm!"
Eris looked at Rudeus, who was much shorter than her. Only now did she realize he was smaller, more slender, and seemed as if he might break at a touch.
Yet he was still comforting her like this... it was really quite embarrassing...
To avoid being a burden to Rudeus, she decided to go to the Sword Sanctum to train!
She would strive to become a Sword King, or even a Sword Emperor!
Even the Sword God, one of the Seven Great Powers, was her target!
Rudeus also planned to refine his magic further. Perhaps it was time to train on his own and not always rely on the two of them....
[The Screen Continues]
[Rudeus began traveling alone, constantly heading towards the northern part of the Central Continent, asking for news about Zenith and Sylphiette along the way....]
[And his reputation spread rapidly in the north....]
[People called him... Quagmire Rudeus...]
[Because of Eris, he became 'disabled' and kept seeking help to cure his 'condition'....]
[But he still couldn't find a way, so he had no choice but to go to the Magic University Roxy had mentioned....]
[Perhaps there was a cure for his 'disability' there....] ...
"Why am I 'disabled'!?"
Rudeus was dumbfounded. He was fine just a moment ago; what happened in these few minutes?
What did he mean, 'became disabled after being hit'?
This confused him greatly. What was going on? Was his heart as fragile as tofu!?...
Itou Makoto: "I can understand this pain! That kind of pain is excruciating. You have to really control yourself, otherwise you'll get stabbed!"
Hyoudou Issei[1]: "I can understand the feeling of being dumped, or even being 'pierced through'. I'm sad, but I'm not 'disabled' yet, I'm just... no longer entirely human..."
Subaru Natsuki: "I'm on the verge of death every day. Becoming disabled is common. Mabeasts haunt me daily. Everyone knows how terrifying a snake's constriction is...."...
[On Screen]
[Rudeus had become quite an important figure and was recommended to enter the Magic University....]
[Everyone who came to challenge him failed. Even the Undead Demon King Badigadi was blown half his body away with one move....]
[He became the most powerful magician in the academy!]
[At the university, he met a white-haired, bespectacled boy... Silent Fitts...]
[But he later discovered that Silent Fitts was Sylphiette...]
[With Sylphiette's help, Rudeus successfully recovered and was 'cured' of his 'disability'....]
[Rudeus and Sylphiette were married in the presence of Princess Ariel of the Kingdom....] ....
"Sylphie, you've been exposed!" Ariel pulled at Sylphiette, whose face was bright red, feeling utterly helpless. She never expected them to get married. This really hadn't occurred to her.
"Rudy..."
"Rudy! Haha!"
Sylphiette jumped up and down happily, dancing like an elf in the palace.
However, Eris in the inn exploded!
Someone had lit her fuse!
"Rudeus! You... you!"
Eris's slap swung towards Rudeus's face!
"Eris... Don't hit the face! That's my future self, it has nothing to do with me now!"
Rudeus was so scared he hugged his head tightly. What was this?
Sylphy, save me!....
[On Screen]
[Rudeus and Sylphiette had their first child...]
[Lucy Greyrat...]
[During this time, Rudeus learned about Zenith being trapped in the labyrinth....]
[Paul and his Black Wolf Fang teammate, Roxy, went into the labyrinth together, but due to a mutation in the labyrinth master, the Hydra was too powerful....]
[Their rescue failed; it could be described as a complete defeat....]
[They had no choice but to send a message to Rudeus, asking him to come support them....] .....
"Is this Hydra really that strong?"
Kireina looked solemn. The creatures in the labyrinth had actually mutated.
Fairy Tail
"A dragon! Let me see how strong it is!"
Natsu was extremely excited. Not long ago, he had fought a black dragon.
As a result, the black dragon was powerless against him, which left him feeling a bit empty...
[On Screen]
[They entered the labyrinth and faced the Hydra, but Rudy's magic had no effect on it. The Hydra's scales had the ability to nullify magic....]
[Everyone quickly retreated and re-strategized...]
[According to Roxy's analysis, the only way to defeat the Hydra was with physical attacks, and with the help of fire to burn the stumps, its heads wouldn't be able to grow back....]
[Everyone thought this plan was feasible and entered the labyrinth again...]
[By this time, Paul was nearly insane. Zenith was inside the crystal, making it impossible for him to calm down....]
[His fierce sword skills cut off the Hydra's heads one by one....]
[Rudeus quickly used fireballs to burn the Hydra's severed necks. As expected, the severed heads did not grow back....]
[Until only one head remained, the Hydra targeted Rudy...]
["Get out of the way!!!"]
[As Paul roared, he kicked Rudy away!]
[Then a Hydra head slammed down where Rudeus had been!]
[In a panic, Rudy raised his left hand, which was thrust into the Hydra's eye, but its eyelids were extremely sharp, and Rudy lost his left hand....]
[——Stone Cannon——]
[The last head exploded with a bang...]
[The overlord of the labyrinth, the Hydra, was completely annihilated!]
["Thank you for saving my life, Father...."]
[Rudeus smiled and turned his head, but his smile gradually stiffened....]
["Why... Why..."]
[At this moment, Paul only had half his body left. Using his last bit of strength, he looked at Rudy. Seeing he was okay seemed to relieve him, and his eyes gradually turned gray....]
[Paul... died right in front of him...] .....
"Am I dead..."
Paul stared blankly at the scene. How should he put it? He couldn't believe it. The scene of his own death felt somewhat sudden and strange.
But after a moment, he felt relieved.
His face showed no so-called fear or unwillingness...
"Rudy... you survived?... That's enough..."
In the end, he died protecting his son. As a father, what he did was worthy...
Inside the Inn
"Are you kidding me?... Father, he..."
Rudeus kept shaking his head, looking at the scene in disbelief.
"Rudeus, let me help you this time!" Ruijerd patted Rudy on the shoulder. "Although this Hydra is strong, its skin isn't as tough as you might think."
His spear would definitely skewer it!
Hydra: "Can't afford to provoke? Is there someone who acts according to the light screen? Even if I die, I'll have someone backing me up!"...
[On Screen]
[Zenith was successfully rescued, but she had lost her memory. She couldn't remember anyone and couldn't even communicate....]
[And Rudeus fell into complete depression. He never got over his father's death....]
[To help him recover, Roxy gave herself to him...]
[With Sylphiette's mediation, Roxy became Rudy's second wife....] .....
"Rudeus! I'm supposed to be the first!"
Eris exploded again. Screw this, bullying a redhead!
I'm training at the Sword Sanctum! You're marrying Sylphie!
I'm training at the Sword Sanctum! You're marrying Roxy!
When we meet in the future, will you just cast me aside?
No, this isn't allowed!
Eris made up her mind, staring intently at Rudeus not far away...
[On Screen]
[Rudeus and Roxy's first child is born...]
[Her name is Lara Greyrat, and she is the future savior!] ....
"My and Rudy's child is the savior?"
Roxy was first shocked speechless by the news of her marriage to Rudy.
Now there was such exciting news!
In the Void
Human God: "Why do I feel like I'm in danger?"
He hoped this was just his imagination.....
[On Screen]
[Rudeus was deceived by the Human God and fought the Dragon God Orsted again!]
[But this time, the fight forced the Dragon God to use his Godsword and cut off Rudy's right hand, though he was also seriously injured....]
[During this battle, the Dragon God acknowledged Rudeus's strength and took him under his wing....]
[From then on, Rudeus gained another title... The Dragon God's Right Arm...]
[And he usually called the Dragon God 'Boss Dragon'...]
[After this battle, Rudeus married Eris ...] .....
Dragon God: "???"
A powerful being like him was seriously injured by a mere magician?
However, he still acknowledged the fact that he took him as a subordinate.
Being forced to use the Godsword was enough for Rudeus to be proud of!
Everyone was shocked by these simple words!
The world's strongest man was seriously injured by an eighteen-year-old kid? Was it possible he would truly become one of the Seven Great Powers in the future?
"Am I the third one?"
Eris's mood was fluctuating. In the future, she would be so addicted to training she couldn't extricate herself.
But forget it, as long as she ended up with Rudeus in the end!...
[On Screen]
[Rudeus in another timeline had become a figure on par with the Seven Great Powers....]
[And the time magic he created was even more terrifying. He traveled through time to tell his past self the Human God's purpose....]
[This was how they managed to protect Roxy from being poisoned....] .....
Human God: "???"
Old Man Rudeus, you have no martial virtue!
He actually invented such unconventional magic just to tell his past self and guard against him?
The Human God suddenly felt the world was full of malice towards him.
Why was everyone targeting him? He was a god in the human world!
No, his plan was perfect; there was absolutely no way the Dragon God could defeat him!.....
[Rapid Screen Switching...]
[Rudeus defeats the North God... Becoming one of the Seven Great Powers at only twenty-four years old...]
[After that, he disappeared and lived a happy life with his family...]
North God: "I feel so ashamed. Can't you go beat the Sword God or the others? Why target the last one?..."
Death God: "Gal Farion, you can't even defeat a twenty-four-year-old kid!"
Sword God: "... Try it yourself."...
[On Screen]
[In the vast white world, the Human God greeted Rudeus as always...]
[But this time, decades had passed...]
[This time, he was no longer in his previous life's body but had completely transformed into Rudeus...]
[As the two talked, the Human God grew angrier but could do nothing about it....]
[Not far away stood a group of people...]
[There were strange men and women, none seeming to be of the same race....]
[But among the crowd was someone Rudy knew—his own Boss Dragon, Orsted...]
[They were talking and laughing. At that moment, a short, blue-haired girl stood up. She looked very similar to Roxy, but beside her was the sacred beast of the beast race, the big white dog that Rudeus liked....]
["Is that Lara?"]
[As if sensing something, she kept waving towards here, and the people around her did the same....]
[They were all smiling, as if they had accomplished something great!]
[The Human God sat aside in despair and said helplessly, "These guys are so unreasonable, sealing me without a word!"]
[Human God: "Rudy, say something!"]
[He stared fiercely at Rudeus, "This is what your descendants did!"] .....
Everyone was numb. He would indeed be sealed in the future.
He had felt something was wrong the first time he saw Lara, but he never expected he would actually fall into their hands....
[On Screen]
[Rudeus found the Human God a bit cute at this time?]
["I hate you!"]
[After the Human God said these words, Rudy woke up...]
[Beside him stood Roxy, Sylphiette, and his descendants...]
["What about Eris?"]
[Rudeus's cloudy eyes searched for Alice's figure...]
["Eris... has already left first..."]
[Not long ago, she had passed away...]
["Rudy cried for a long time..."]
["I see..."]
[At that moment, Boss Dragon came over. Because of Rudy, none of the children around were afraid of him....]
["Boss, I saw the Human God..."]
["That guy is sealed in the future..."]
[Boss Dragon smiled surprisingly. It was a smile he had never seen before, even though it was a bit scary....]
[Just like that, surrounded by everyone, Rudeus closed his eyes forever...]
[Aged 74...] ....
Rudeus Greyrat
[Everywhere you go in the world, this name is remembered...]
[This is the end of the story of Rudeus Greyrat, the Quagmire...]
[The scene freezes suddenly...]
