Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

The magic of transferring to another world is just one of the necessary conditions to return home.

The one who really decides whether Qixing can return is neither Qixing, nor Ron, nor Perkius.

But it is the invisible fate in the dark.

Qixing was destined to not be able to return at this point in time, so his actions could not be considered as betrayal...

By now.

Ron could only comfort himself with this reason.

……

……

The transfer magic circle connecting to the Gasro area was soon prepared.

Ron and Rudius, who had completed the repairs, went to the transfer magic circle in the basement under the leadership of Silvaril. Just like before, their second trip to the Demon Continent was still kept completely secret from the Seven Stars.

Compared to his first trip to the Demon Continent, Rudeus brought a lot of extra luggage this time.

In addition to the wand, he also brought many scrolls.

Scrolls of healing, detoxification, etc., no matter how many you bring, it is never too many.

And the most important thing is the bottle of Dragon God Orb Wine given by Pergius. Although I don’t know whether it can be used, it is also the most important card in my hand.

As for Ron's luggage, it was relatively simple.

Two magic swords and an empty bag.

There was also a pair of gauntlets inlaid with magic stones that I had asked Pergius to make on the spur of the moment.

That's it.

If all goes well, my bag should be full of Socas grass on my return trip.

"Shall we go, Ron?"

Rudeus took a deep breath.

"Ah."

Ron nodded.

Looking at the magic circle emitting blue and white light, Ron suddenly said:

"Rudeus, you have to promise me three things before we leave. If you don't agree, this trip will be cancelled."

"what?"

"First, if someone must stay behind to cover the rear, that person can only be me."

Ron held up three fingers.

He didn't even look at Rudeus, speaking as if to himself.

"Second, if I can't come back alive, don't tell Qixing about my death. You must keep it a secret, no matter what excuse you use, until Qixing's transfer magic is completely successful and you are sure she can return."

"Third, let me say the same thing again. If I die in the Demon Continent..."

"Could you please tell Sarah that I'm sorry for breaking my promise?"

Human God Chapter: 117, Brave Ron

"What did you say……"

Listening to Ron's understated speech.

Rudeus was stunned for a moment.

He thought he heard wrongly.

However, when he saw Ron's calm expression, he realized that Ron was serious. The three conditions were based entirely on the worst possible scenario and were so realistic that they were almost cruel.

Rudeus couldn't accept it.

He grabbed Ron by the collar and said angrily:

"What do you mean by that, Ron? Do you want to die in the Demon Continent? Didn't we agree that we would come back alive?"

"And didn't you say that before? Qixing's life is not in danger now. Even if we can't bring back the Socas Grass right away, it doesn't matter. We can still make long-term plans!"

Looking at Rudius's angry expression, Ron did not waver.

He explained slowly:

"I'm only assuming the worst-case scenario. While we can discuss the Socas Grass later, this trip is ultimately to Necros Fortress in the Gasro region, and the danger shouldn't be underestimated. Some things should be discussed in advance."

"Even if you say so..."

"I'm immortal. If someone has to stay behind to cover our retreat, my chances of survival are much higher than yours. That makes sense, right? As for the other two matters, I just don't want Nanahoshi and Sarah to be delayed because of me. What's wrong with that?"

"..."

Rudeus looked at Ron with a complicated expression and slowly let go of his hand.

As Ron said, his request was reasonable.

Rudeus simply couldn't accept Ron's way of taking himself for granted as a sacrifice. Human lives should be equally important, yet Ron always put himself down.

That's obviously not right...

"Rudeus, if you've made up your mind, come over here quickly. We're about to leave."

When Rudeus came to his senses, Ron was already standing on the transfer magic circle.

As Silvalir injected magic power into the magic circle, the magic circle began to slowly emit light.

Seeing this, Rudius quickly stepped forward and held Ron's hand.

next moment.

As the light of the transfer magic engulfed them, the two figures completely disappeared from the flying fortress.

……

……

The other end of the transfer magic circle is connected to a valley in the Gasro area.

According to the information provided by Pergius in advance.

It would take about three hours to travel from the ruins of the transfer magic circle to Nekros Fortress, so it would feel very relaxing.

However, when Ron and Rudeus actually arrived at the other end of the transfer magic circle, they found that the actual situation was completely different.

The valley where the remains of the magic transfer circle lay wasn't just a deep valley; it was the lair of the Black Dragon Beasts. Countless Black Dragon Beasts soared and circled throughout the valley, their sharp claws and limbs tearing through the air. While not true dragons, each one of them reached the standard of an A-rank monster.

The moment he saw the black dragon beasts all over the mountains, Rudeus's face turned pale.

"Hey, hey, hey, what the hell is this place? Is Perkius really not mistaken?"

"This is the true face of the so-called Demon Continent."

Compared to Rudeus's shock, Ron seemed calm.

He had also traveled in the Demon Continent, and unlike Rijerud who deliberately avoided dangerous areas, Orsted's route of action was efficiency first, so he had seen every side of the Demon Continent.

A nest like this where so many monsters gather is almost impossible to exist in the Central Continent.

There's nothing unusual here.

"Even if you say so, how can we get out?"

Looking at the densely packed black dragon beasts, Rudeus felt his scalp tingling.

Ron drew out two magic swords and walked straight towards the black dragon beast.

"Follow me, Rudeus."

"Ron, you're not planning to..."

"Well, let's just fight our way out of here.

As the words fell.

Ron rushed directly towards the black dragon beast's lair.

The tough body was almost reflexively wrapped with fighting spirit, and the tide-like power surged in the body, and was finally injected into the two swords in Ron's hands, turning into invisible sword energy.

Facing the roaring black dragon beast that pounced on him, Ron did not dodge or evade.

Just swing the sword!

"boom--"

The surging fighting spirit instantly crushed the attacking black dragon beast to pieces.

Rudeus, who was about to use magic to protect Ron, was also stunned when he saw this.

Obviously, Ron's full strength at this time has exceeded his imagination.

think carefully.

Since returning from the maze, Rudeus has never seen Ron fighting at his full strength.

Rather, it seems that there are really not many people in this world who can make him give his all.

He was able to kill so many black dragon beasts in one strike simply by using his sword energy. At this moment, Ron's strength might have surpassed Badigondi and reached the true emperor level...

"Rudeus, what are you standing there for?!"

Ron's voice came from the front.

As he spoke, he continued to stride forward with his sword, killing all the black dragon beasts that attacked from all directions. He was calm and relaxed, advancing deep into the black dragon beast's lair without any pressure at all.

Rudeus quickly caught up with him.

If he were left alone in such a place, he would have no choice but to go home.

……

Although Pergius said that it would only take half a day to travel from the ruins of the transfer magic circle to Necros Fortress, this was obviously not the case.

It took half a day.

Ron and Rudeus slaughtered the entire Black Dragon Beast lair.

He fought from beginning to end and fought his way out.

Ron's two magic swords were chopped so hard that sparks flew.

Fortunately, whether it was Ron's immortality or Rudeus's enormous magical power, it was not difficult to deal with a situation of this magnitude.

When the two men rushed out of the Black Dragon Canyon, their bodies were almost covered in the blood of monsters.

When Rudius saw the town wall in the distance, he almost subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's finally out..."

"Anyway, let's find a place to stay and rest for a night."

Ron sheathed his sword and wiped the blood off his body.

To be honest, he didn't feel tired, but Rudius had been walking for such a long time and had experienced many battles, so he really needed a good night's rest. Otherwise, it would be too arrogant to go to see Atofi in this state.

The two of them approached the town.

Although it is a town, it is much smaller than Licaris Town.

Two guards in uniform stood at the gate.

When they saw Ron and Rudeus approaching, both of them subconsciously became alert.

Ron walked straight forward with Rudeus.

When they arrived at the gate, they were stopped by guards.

"Human race?"
