Anime: Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation

Rudeus was awakened by the slap. He now understood what was going on. He looked at the man in front of him who was nearly 1.9 meters tall and swallowed.

The people in front of him must have killed many people. Rudeus quickly thought about how to deal with this group of people. Rudeus once again showed that humble and flattering smile.

The sturdy man's original intention to play with him faded away in an instant. He looked at Rudeus silently for a moment, snorted in boredom: "Coward." Then he left in an instant and walked out of the house.

After opening the iron gate, the sturdy man stood at the door and shouted indifferently: "You better behave yourself, otherwise I don't know if you will have such good luck next time."

After saying that, he closed the iron door, and there was a click sound from the door.

Rudeus breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the other person leave.

He was really a little panicked at this time, but although the situation was very bad, fortunately Alice had not been kidnapped yet.

Although he couldn't defeat the opponent in a head-on battle, with Rudeus's level, he could always find a way to escape.

Rudeus' mind moved, and he imagined a wind blade in his mind. Magic power began to flow into his fingertips, and the rope that was originally tightly bound was directly cut off.

After breaking free from the restraints, he walked towards Alice. Looking at Alice who was trembling from time to time, Rudeus felt that she was a little pitiful.

Chapter 70 Escape

He moved closer to the other person and turned her body over. Alice's condition was indeed extremely bad at this moment. The delicate cheeks of that doll were now bright red, with traces of blood at the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were narrowed.

He sighed, now was not the time to educate Alice, he helped Alice to the wall and began to cast intermediate healing magic.

"The power of the Holy Spirit is a sweet food. Give those who have lost their strength the power to stand up again. 『Healing』"

Rudeus placed his hands on Alice's chest, above her chest of course, without touching her directly. With Rudeus's character, it was rare that he did not take advantage of her. Rudeus began to gather his magic power and chanted the magic spell in a low voice.

Although it is possible not to recite the spell, Rudeus himself is not good at healing magic, and reciting the spell can better guide the other party's injuries to heal.

Alice's pale cheeks instantly turned rosy, and the swelling on her face began to subside. In just one minute, Alice's injuries that were enough to make her unable to move were mostly recovered.

Alice still felt some pain in her cheeks and lower abdomen, so she staggered to her feet.

Rudeus quickly went over to help her and whispered to Alice, "Well, how are you?"

"Nonsense, do I look good?" Alice's voice was still loud and a little hoarse, but when she spoke, Rudeus was almost scared to death. He covered Alice's mouth and said, "Can you speak a little more quietly? Do you know what's going on now?"

Alice slapped Rudeus' hand away and shouted angrily: "These damn scum, I will let Gilenu kill them!"

Rudeus smiled bitterly. He was completely unable to keep up with the young lady's train of thought. The most urgent thing now was to escape from here as soon as possible, okay?

In the distance, Luo Ya was wearing a pitch-black robe with a black hood covering his face, and he exuded a dangerous aura.

A closer look revealed that both the pitch-black robe and the black hood were made of magic power. Countless black threads were wrapped around the pitch-black robe, making Roya look noble and mysterious.

As for the function of the magic robe, it probably won't burst in a fight, just like Kirito's clothes, it's indestructible. In fact, its biggest use is probably to show off.

At this time, Luo Ya was standing on the roof not far away, quietly watching the movements below.

Under the bright moonlight, the peaceful night breeze blew the hem of Luoya's clothes.

At this moment, his originally red-gold pupils became even brighter, flowing like lava.

Luo Ya was born with a kind of pressure from a superior. This temperament was brought by strength. As his strength became stronger and his understanding of swordsmanship became more thorough, this aura became more obvious, and finally formed something called [pressure].

Looking at the night sky, Roya murmured: "The Shadow Power Plan has been activated."

The next moment, the figure disappeared in the hazy moonlight.

In the dungeon, Rudeus finally managed to comfort Alice after much persuasion.

But even so, the other party still looked stubborn, and Rudeus hated Alice so much.

It was the other party's stubborn attitude that made Rudeus want to change the other party's mind.

But Alice's previous movements eventually made the other party notice something unusual. The burly man came over to check again, only to find that the door that could have been opened could not be opened at this time.

He immediately called his companions and shouted inside: "Hey, you little devils, don't let me catch you. I won't let you off so easily this time."

Rudeus easily broke the window next to him, jumped up, stared down at Alice and said, "If you promise to listen to me, I promise to take you back home safely, but you must listen to me."

Rudeus said this, and Alice below looked at Rudeus above in a daze. The moonlight shone through the window into the dark dungeon, and the breeze blew through the window, brushing Alice's hair.

With the sound of doors slamming one after another, Alice could clearly feel the sense of crisis and malice gathering behind her.

Rudeus's mouth twitched. At this time, the other party was still hesitating. This showed how high Alice's self-esteem was. If he couldn't convince the other party this time, their future relationship would be very difficult.

Seeing that the door was about to be knocked open, Rudeus remained silent. He certainly would not just abandon the other party and run away, but he would definitely not rescue the other party so easily either.

So, he was waiting for Alice to give the answer he wanted to hear.

But in fact, Alice was just a child after all. The heart-piercing pain she had experienced before made Alice know for the first time how painful it was to be beaten.

What would happen if I were caught by the other party?

Would I be sold for a large sum of money? Would I suffer unbearable pain every time? Would the days of beating and kicking become my daily life?

When Alice thought about leaving her parents, leaving her grandfather, leaving this home, her pupils suddenly contracted. Only then did she realize how weak everything about her was.

Along with the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, the iron door was completely kicked open. Alice suddenly shouted, "I promise you, help me."

She is indeed a person with a strong sense of self-esteem, but that doesn't mean she is willing to give up the opportunity to escape from this place for the sake of her own dignity.

She and Rudeus were not enemies, so there was no need for her to be angry with him.

Rudeus was relieved to hear the other party admit defeat. He was really afraid that this stubborn girl would be stubborn and insist on fighting to the death, and then even he would have to take action.

But if the other party's personality is really like that, even Rudeus will reconsider the other party.

It's okay to have a strong character and a hot temper, but if someone is still unwilling to lose face and accept the helping hand extended by others at this moment, then this person can no longer change.

Chapter 71: Everyone betrays and separates?

At least it was no longer something that Rudeus could change now.

When Alice said that, Rudeus quickly used earth element magic to form an earth barrier to isolate the room, and then he pulled Alice and jumped out of the window.

Although Rudeus's physical fitness was not very good, he was very proficient in magic. When he landed, he slightly changed the flow of air so that he did not suffer any harm. Then he pulled Alice forward.

Rudeus' eyes quickly scanned the surroundings and locked onto the stable not far away.

Hearing noisy footsteps behind him, Rudeus hurriedly grabbed Alice's arm and jogged forward.

Fortunately, Rudeus ran in time and was not seen by the other party. It was also at this moment that the time was successfully delayed for a while, allowing Rudeus to successfully slip to the stable.

Rudeus led the horse out very skillfully. Fortunately, the horse was docile and did not resist much. Otherwise, with Rudeus's second-rate riding skills, he would have been thrown off by the horse long ago.

Alice had been much more obedient along the way. Rudeus got on his horse and said to her, "Can you get on?"

Alice nodded. Although she had suffered serious injuries before, she was almost recovered now.

This was a horse-drawn carriage. When Alice sat in the back seat, Rudeus began to drive the carriage slowly forward.

Just like that, Rudeus started to rush back the way he came.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the night is quiet.

A figure turned into an afterimage and followed closely not far from the carriage where Rudeus was.

This place is not far from the location of the Greyrat family and can be reached in just an hour's journey.

When he saw the familiar streets and the palace at the top in the distance, Rudeus subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Entering the city was like having one foot in the safe zone.

A slow smile appeared on his face. He stopped the carriage on the side of the road, got off the horse and said to Alice in the back of the carriage, "Get off."

Alice, who was sitting in the back of the carriage, poked her head out and asked curiously, "Why don't you just take the carriage in?"

Rudeus explained: "Riding in a carriage would be too conspicuous and would easily attract the other party's attention. Besides, the one who was able to tie us up at home must be a traitor."

Alice thought about it, got off the carriage, and looked around. There was no one in the quiet street.

Rudeus was about to say something when he was interrupted by a voice.

"You two, the Patriarch has been looking for you for a long time."

Rudeus was subconsciously startled and looked towards the source of the sound. He saw a young butler holding a lantern and squinting his eyes.

He had a short haircut, and his facial features were peaceful, giving people an inexplicable sense of intimacy. In addition, he was the housekeeper of the family, so Rudeus subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards him. Rudeus said to the housekeeper: "Butler, do you know what's going on?"

The butler fell into deep thought, and after thinking for a while, he said to Rudeus: "What's going on? Well, this should be the case."

Rudeus felt something was wrong, the meaning of the other party's words was very strange.

In addition, why the other party appeared in front of him as soon as he appeared, it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

Rudeus' pupils suddenly narrowed. Just as he was about to say something, a figure rushed to Alice's side from behind, covered her mouth with his hand, and easily carried her onto his shoulder.

The corners of Rudeus' mouth twitched. He was indeed betrayed by his own family. Looking at the usually amiable butler in front of him, Rudeus couldn't help but ask, "Why did you do this?"

The butler laughed and said, "Why, why do you want to do this?"

The butler's eyes suddenly opened, and he looked at Alice behind him with a pair of eyes full of resentment and fierceness.

He murmured, "Why, why do you do this?" It was as if he was asking himself, or Rudeus.

After repeating it, he said to Rudeus expressionlessly, "I'm sure you've figured it out. I've been having a hard time with this brat Alice for quite some time. Now, it's time to teach her a lesson."

Rudeus appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually as panicked as a dog inside. Rudeus looked behind him and saw Alice's panicked expression, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

No one knows how many people this guy has offended. Even the chief steward has such a strong grudge against her that he colluded with outsiders to make the fake play real.

The butler took a few steps forward with a lantern in his hand, and said jokingly, "Why, do you want to help this guy? Oh, I heard that this guy also beat you every day at the beginning, have you forgotten? Why not just turn a blind eye to it? I'm not an unkind person. How about this, I'll give you thirty gold coins, what do you think?"

Rudeus began to mobilize the magic power in his body, gathering it into his right arm. He looked at the middle-aged butler and asked, "Can thirty gold coins allow three people to attend magic university?"

Hearing this, Alice's body trembled, tears were already welling up in her eyes, and a strong feeling of regret and helplessness came over her.

What is this? Being deserted by everyone?

The butler was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he laughed wildly. He looked smug and cast his eyes on Alice's terrified expression. He continued loudly, "Let alone three people, even ten people would be more than enough. So, what is your choice?"

Rudeus showed a pleasant smile, which seemed to express that the cooperation was pleasant.

The butler laughed, but before he could continue speaking, Rudeus suddenly attacked, taking advantage of a moment of relaxation between the two.

As the magic power gathered, the ground where the kidnappers were began to melt, and a wall of earth rose out of thin air.

Rudeus's words had caused the two men to relax their guard, and they never expected that the other party would still attack like this.

Caught off guard, Alice staggered. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she bit the other person's hand hard.

The kidnapper felt pain and subconsciously let go of his hand. Alice hurriedly ran towards Rudeus.

Both the kidnapper and the housekeeper had gloomy faces.

Especially the butler, his expression at this moment could only be described as ferocious.

He said, "Good boy, you dare to play tricks on me. I really don't understand why you would save such a person?"

Without giving Rudeus a chance to escape, he walked towards Rudeus.

At the same time, five people suddenly walked forward from the shadows.

Each of them held a long sword, a real weapon, flashing a deep cold light under the moonlight.

Rudeus swallowed his saliva and began to quickly think of an escape route, while secretly groaning.

If I had known this would happen, I would have asked my eldest brother to escort me. Why would I have to endure this?

Chapter 72 Shadow

The battle always starts in an instant.

The leading man grinned fiercely and his figure accelerated in an instant. The distance between the two was not far to begin with, and this distance was almost the nightmare of all magicians.

The man moved very quickly. Although his strength was not that strong and could not be compared with Gileno or even Luoya, the difference in fighting experience between the two was huge.

The difference in skills is not equivalent to combat effectiveness. Several of them are brave warriors, so how can they be defeated by a simple intermediate swordsman?

A strong sense of crisis enveloped Rudeus' heart. He turned the ground into a quagmire to restrict the opponent's movements. He gathered the fireballs in his hand and threw them into the sky, starting to shake people.
