Is it wrong to become a scumbag? 448 Let's run away (Patreon)

"Ais, go out first. See if something happens. I will handle this place."

Ais nodded and jumped from the giant net toward the surface since she heard a strange voice.

When Ais left, Tsukasa sighed before glancing at Alicia, who was in his arms, wondering how long she was going on his arm.

When they fell into a hole, he summoned his cube and created a web to catch everyone. Still, he sighed, feeling helpless when he thought about what was happening to Finn.

"Come on. Stand up. Don't stay in a daze. I will throw you out of this hole."

However, Alicia didn't seem to intend to let him go and kept hugging him.

Yet he didn't blame her since the trap was so sudden, and no one reacted until they fell.

Fortunately, he reacted fast and saved all of them, or they would have been separated.

They were divided into two groups, and if they were further divided, their situation would be even worse.

Shishio didn't pull Alicia away and threw everyone out of the hole.

No one could react until they landed out of the hole.

Yet when only Tsukasa and Alicia were inside the hole, they heard a sorrowful cry.

"Tsukasa, hurry up and come here!"

"Please check Finn's condition!"

"Tsukasa!"

Alicia held him tightly, feeling uneasy.

"Calm down."

Tsukasa patted her back, trying to reassure her.

"Um."

Alicia nodded.

The two jumped out from the hole using the net like the trampoline before they saw their Familia was in despair when they watched Finn's condition.

Unlike before, Finn had lost his color. His body was bloody, and blood kept gushing out from his large wound.

Many tried to pour a potion, even the most expensive one, but they were all useless and couldn't heal Finn.

"Give me space. Let me check his condition."

They subconsciously gave him space and let him check Finn. They all looked at him with hopeful expressions, hoping he could save Finn.

Finn was the pillar. He was the one that led everyone. If he died, the Loki Familia would go downhill.

Tsukasa checked Finn's condition and looked at Bete. "What happened?"

"It was that fucking woman. She is strong."

Bete was frustrated when he thought he could do nothing. Still, he might hate Tsukasa, but he knew this wasn't the time to think about this matter, and the most important thing was to save Finn. He didn't have that power, but he knew Tsukasa had that power.

"Woman?"

"The one that attacked Ais before on the 18th and 24th Floor."

"How strong is she?" Tsukasa asked while looking at Finn with a frown since he felt a strangeness on Finn's body.

"...Maybe a Level 7." Bete shook his head and said, "I am not sure, but she has become stronger than a month ago."

Ais clenched her fist and showed a frustrated expression. She wanted to chase after that woman, but she knew she needed to be with everyone, especially when Finn was hurt.

"Level 7?"

Tsukasa frowned since it was just a month ago, but that woman had become a Level 7. He wondered how many magic stones Revis had eaten. He also wondered whether his presence also made her even stronger.

Somehow he felt regret for letting her go.

"Say what weapon that she used?"

Bete wasn't sure, but he knew it was necessary, so he looked in Raul's direction.

"Tsukasa-san, it-it might be a cursed weapon," Raul said stutteringly.

"Cursed weapon?"

Tsukasa raised his eyebrow for a moment and understood why Finn's body was weakened, his status decreased, and the potion or magic couldn't heal his wounds.

If Finn wasn't a Level 6, he might die immediately.

Tsukasa had heard about a curse from Riveria since she taught him every night. She told him about the "curse," which was similar to magic but rarer and darker.

However, it didn't matter to him.

Suddenly a dark aura emitted from Finn's body before they were sucked into Tsukasa's palm. He absorbed the curse on Finn's body while identifying this new power that he encountered.

'It's interesting.' Tsukasa thought.

Finn's complexion was pale and his breathing rough, but the curse that weakened his body had disappeared.

"Give me the elixir now?"

"Yes!"

Raul gave the potion, and Tsukasa poured it on Finn's body.

The wound on his body disappeared, but as expected, he was still weak, and his complexion was pale.

"Is Captain okay now?" Raul asked.

"Yeah, I have erased the curse on his body, and he is healed. He only needs time to rest before he recovers."

Hearing his words, they felt the load on their chest being lifted.

"That's good."

"I am so glad!"

"Thanks, Tsukasa."

They were so glad that Tsukasa was with them.

Despite his weak condition, Finn opened his eyes when he was healed. "Tsukasa?"

"I am here."

Finn sighed in relief that Tsukasa could escape from the trap. "Sorry."

"Is it the time for that now?"

"I know it isn't the time for that."

Even if Finn had been injured before and his brain was dizzy, he instantly grasped the situation around him. He was defeated. Because of one moment of hesitation, he was defeated by the Creature, Revis.

His gaze stopped on Raul for a moment, moved away, and finally landed on Tsukasa.

"Take... the command, Tsukasa."

His lips trembled since even though he was healed by Tsukasa, he was unable to stay awake for so long. His body was so weak, and it took all of his will to talk to him.

Everyone's eyes, without exception, focused on Tsukasa.

He was the newbie member of the entire Familia, and he was also the youngest. However, even if he had just become an executive a month ago, his prestige was the biggest among everyone in this place.

Even if Ais and Bete might stay in the Familia longer than Tsukasa, they weren't suitable to lead everyone, so Finn chose Tsukasa.

Tsukasa also had the experience of leading everyone, even though it was only when they walked over the dungeon.

At this moment, there was no doubt in the eyes of everyone.

"...I understand."

Tsukasa nodded after a moment of silence.

The crisis of the survival of the Familia fell on his shoulders, and he would be lying if this burden wasn't heavy.

Everyone's lives were on his back, and he couldn't take it lightly.

When he agreed, Finn's expression relaxed slightly, and then he slowly closed his eyes. While his breathing was weak, it was stable.

"Give me an order."

Bete was indifferent, but he had accepted Tsukasa was a leader.

Ais looked at Tsuksaa without saying anything.

Raul, Alicia, Narvi, and the others looked over at him at the same time.

There was only trust in their eyes.

They believed in him.

"Raul, hold Finn. Don't let him go."

"Ye-Yes!"

Raul quickly held Finn on his back while tying him on his body, so Finn wouldn't fall.

Tsukasa stood up and made his decision without hesitation.

"Let's run away."

"........"

His choice of words made them feel miserable, but they nodded and agreed to run away.

Run away plan starts!
