The Time Stop Breeding Uncle Wants To Retire

84 – Ruby’s Spirit (6)

The hammer of flame shattered Balak’s head in an instant. It was such a clean blow. I tilted my head. It was because it was handled much neater than I thought.

But I didn’t bother to mention this issue. The answer had already come from Ruby’s expression. She had a relieved expression. She probably got her own answer.

Even if it seems questionable to others. I drew my own conclusions. And if you’re satisfied with that, I wouldn’t bother intervening. I said with a smile.

“Looks like you’ve got your own answer.”

“That’s right.”

“That’s it. Let’s organize it.”

“I’m asking you to leave it to me!”

Ruby decided to clean up Balak’s body himself. I thought I’d just ignore it. Surprisingly, they had a dwarf-style funeral. The dwarven future was a pit of fire.

Like refining iron. A pit is dug, and a hot kiln is made by putting something like coal in it. Then put the body in there and burn it all.

Of course, there were people who couldn’t understand Ruby’s method. Representatively, there was Clara, Ruby’s close colleague and bad friend. Surprisingly, Helia didn’t understand Ruby either.

“Ruby! He’s your enemy! But do you have to do that?”

“I agree with you this time. Why did you go so far?”

“Don’t get me wrong. It’s not for Balak.”

“Then?”

“It’s for my sake. For me to forget all the bad relationships in the past and start anew.”

Ruby came all this way to kill her own father. At first, I wanted to make you feel all the pain in the world, cruelly. In fact, she said she was full of will.

But I finally realized it. That revenge isn’t everything. That you have to think about what to do after that. So, after much deliberation, Ruby chose to kill Balak cleanly.

“Revenge isn’t my life, it’s just what I had to do. So, with this, I won’t be feeling any more.”

“Then this would be a festival, not a funeral.”

“Chu, festival?”

“Cancer! On the day of revenge, you should drink alcohol and eat meat!”

Captain Yuren laughed and put a shoulder strap on Ruby. It looked embarrassing, but Ruby didn’t hate it either. Soon their eyes met mine. I chuckled.

“Nothing bad.”

“Then I’ll prepare it right away.”

“Good, good! Very good!! It’s a party today!”

“Is that going to work? What is it, like a feeling…”

“No, it’s okay. Rather, it’s welcome.”

Ruby must have said the same thing. Even for the morale of the members, she had no reason to do so. Balak’s body was thrown into the prepared fire pit. I looked up.

Not a single person paid a moment of silence for Balak. Self-employed No matter how much it is for wealth and power, it’s because you can’t even take care of your own family. The end would be obvious.

Balak’s decapitated corpse was engulfed in flames. Upon closer inspection, the figure was more like a crow than an eagle. Ruby is silently staring at the corpse.

“What are you thinking?”

Perhaps, now that the revenge is over, the rest is too futile. Could it be jumping into a fireball over there? Concerned about that, I hurriedly asked Ruby a question. Then Ruby smiled bitterly.

“I was thinking about the past.”

“Think of the old days?”

“The first time I thought about killing that crap.”

“…….”

“Honestly, it was scary. Everything.”

For the first time in my life, I have someone I hate. But that’s your parents. What would be the shock of a young child who did not know anything when faced with such a terrible fact?

It was something I could not dare to predict. However, Ruby somehow managed to overcome that situation. Maybe that’s why she was able to come this far. I patted him on the back.

“Well done, you did what you could.”

“Is that really so?”

“Of course. I dare to vouch for it.”

“It’s a guarantee… I’d be angry if someone said it, but…”

“Hmm?”

“No! It’s nothing!”

Ruby, who was silent for a moment, smiled brightly and shook her head from side to side. I don’t know anything else, but he knows that the worries he was having just a moment ago are gone. I’m glad this

Ruby smiled as she ran towards them. I gazed at her ruby figure from afar, then she chuckled and drank from her glass. At this point, she must have worked out in her own way.

Now, let’s see. Now, the darkness of the members has been resolved to some extent. They seem to think of each other as colleagues. In addition, almost 50% of the support from other races was restored.

At this point, wouldn’t it be okay to pass over the leader position?

* * *

The power of demons is mighty. As a single species, it can be considered almost equal to that dragon. No, because the number is rather large. It could be said to be one level higher than the dragon.

But the problem was the confidence that came from that overwhelming power. To put it more directly, it is also called arrogance. They are the strongest Dare not to go against anything.

So, I often instinctively underestimated my enemies. Normally, there was no problem though. Because it is overwhelmingly strong. But the biggest problem was when there were enemies.

As long as it’s not the same demon, demons don’t recognize opponents. Is it because of pride? Or is it because of the fighting instinct cultivated from childhood? I don’t know.

Arrogance and carelessness are the worst allies that lead to defeat in a winnable war. Even more, what if the arrogant demons recognized the Royal Knights as their only adversaries?

[We can’t take any more time, let’s dig a trap to lure them in.]

[Funny sound! We have to face each other fairly and squarely!]

[That’s right, the trap is to sell small people.]

[So? What are the achievements of our great people?]

Thanks to this, the demons fought against the Royal Knights to the point of infighting. Of course, if it wasn’t for the Barekhan Castle Kingdom’s barrier, the demons would be able to demonstrate their full strength.

Because of the Barekhan Castle Kingdom’s barrier, the demons couldn’t enter the barrier. At least, there was no special trick other than sending the monsters they had created to continue the invasion.

In the meantime, the strategy to lure the Royal Knights by digging a trap came out. Half of the demons vehemently opposed it. Because the victory won by fighting head-on was the real victory.

On the contrary, there were not a few demons who agreed. If only the Royal Knights were wiped out. It was clear that continental people with weak links would turn into ragtags at once.

Fortunately, there must be a snitch inside the Royal Knights. I would have planted an introvert in other races as well. It was possible enough. In fact, he succeeded in enticing the Royal Knights.

“The Royal Knights are obviously annihilated.”

“Yes, that’s right. We annihilated them with our own hands.”

“There are survivors, but I thought it wouldn’t be a problem.”

“But… It’s very different now.”

Of course, the damage suffered by the demons was not small. Even if he was lured into a trap, he was the only adversary recognized by those demons. Of course, the damage was beyond imagination.

There were not a few comrades who died in battle with the Royal Knights right away. Thanks to this, the power to intervene with the continental people has weakened. It still took a lot of time to recover.

So, we send intrigues to drive each other apart. In the end, they tried to make them hit each other and fight. And the plan worked. At least that was the case in the beginning.

“Where the hell did that Hans come from?”

Hans, take down all the snitches they planted. A man who even killed a low-level demon who was sent to rampage. Where the hell did such ridiculous talent come from?

Additionally, the unfortunate news was that he was rebuilding the Royal Knights. He gathered the surviving survivors and succeeded in recruiting an additional forest watchman.

What makes more sense is that in just one year, the relationship between the races that were on the verge of a rift has been greatly stabilized. It means that it is on the verge of bringing out the complete harmony of the Royal Knights, which had been creaking.

“Does it matter now?”

“What do you mean?”

“The point is, before the Royal Knights can completely rebuild, something has to be done.”

“But I don’t think they’ll budge on a low class or ancestor.”

“So, we’ll have to do it ourselves.”

Until now, I had no choice but to watch. That’s because he suffered serious internal injuries in the battle with the Royal Knights. At least, the strength of the demons that could be mobilized was so small that it could be counted on one hand.

That’s why I didn’t step out myself. Although they attacked using infiltrators and followers. I never thought I’d repair the damage so quickly. So, this side had no choice but to draw power.

“Fortunately, all preparations have been completed.”

It’s not that they gave Balak strength for nothing. Ballack did a great job in his own role. He had no presence and succeeded in going to the base of the Royal Knights without being noticed.

He died wonderfully there.

So, use the corpse as a sacrifice and advance.

That’s why they gave Balak their strength.
