Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 1

The Great Mage who transcends by regression Episode 1

is over.

Looking at the hero pierced by the demon’s spear, he had no choice but to admit it.

I quietly bowed my head.

“It is over. It was my mistake for suggesting that idiot as the leader.”

At my words, the saintess replied in a dejected voice.

“Yeah, I’m tired. I’ve run out of revival spells, so I don’t have any more means to revive them. But the idiot in charge of the team’s armed forces is dead? What is this?”

At that, the High Elf Fairy King asked me with a miserable expression.

“Is there really no other way, Mikhail?”

“doesn’t exist. As the saintess said, the resurrection magic has already been used up and the hero is definitely dead.”

It’s not a ‘warrior’ for nothing.

The only hero who possesses the strongest weapon and has the power to kill demons from the temple.

But the guy died.

the beast king asked me

“Mikhail, you are the Grand Mage of the 9th Circle. Another magic prepared by you… … .”

“I have prepared magic, but all of them are prepared under the premise that the hero is alive. They are meaningless as long as the hero is dead.”

“… … Damn you.”

he clicked his tongue.

Even the most ignorant person would know that the current situation was not usually hopeless.

“Anyway, I told you from the beginning that you should be the leader. It was stupid to entrust that idiot as the leader.”

“that… … With a bitter

smile, he recalled the past for a while.

Originally, I was a ‘hero’s lumber’ who was chosen by God at the same time as the hero.

But I gave up.

Because I thought I didn’t deserve it. But now, I had to admit it.

that it was my fault.

“… … Anyway, the odds are slim, but you can’t just try.”

I sighed lightly and looked ahead.

The Demon God and his followers who are destroying the surroundings at will.

There is no way to beat them.

But what can I do?

No matter how unlikely it is, if you give up here, the world will end.

“Finally, I will prepare magic. The odds of success are low, but you have to try. It just needs a little time… … ”

“I buy time. I’ll try to do something, so please follow me.”

“Then I’ll cover you from behind while he holds out.”

“It’s good.”

After accepting the Fairy King’s words, the Beast King pulled his arms as far as he could and threw them out.

The attack with enormous power swept through the enemy lines.

But it didn’t last long.

They were too numerous, and even he could not overwhelm them alone.

He eventually met his end with his entire body crushed.

“Now it is my turn.”

After that, it was towards the high elves that the enemy’s teeth turned.

He tried to stop the enemies somehow using spirits and bows, but it was not enough and his head was blown off.

“… … Mikhail.”

With a bitter voice, the saintess let go of the staff she was holding.

“Thank you so much for being with us until now.”

“… … I am.”

The saintess chose self-destruction as a last resort. She exploded along with hundreds of Demon God’s followers.

“Is it just me now?”

The great magic of the 9th circle that was completed only after everyone died and only I was left.

“< Meteor Strike >.”

A huge meteorite fell from the sky, devastating the surroundings.

The army of demons who were baring their teeth at me around me disappeared without a trace in an instant.

but.

Kiruk.

Proliferate as much as it disappears.

In no time, they were filling the seats again.

Of course, I didn’t know that this would happen.

It can be said that it is impossible to change this situation with any magic I possess.

However.

“Time is different.”

If you die no matter what you do, wouldn’t it be right to fight until the end?

I have no face to see my colleagues who left first only after dying easily.

‘Ha, I never thought the day would come when I bet everything on an affair.’

No matter how many circles there are, there is no power enough to distort the common sense of the world.

But the 10th circle is different.

Even if he chooses an affair, if he can step into that state even for a moment, he will be able to do it, even if it is an ‘impossible thing’.

‘Break the circle yourself and liberate everything.’

In order to step into the 10th circle even for a moment, I had to give up everything I had made so far.

Kwajik.

The moment I made up my mind, the circle inside my body was cut off.

“Hey… … !”

Everything I had made up until now was cut off and exploded.

Uncontrolled mana starts running rampant inside the body.

A pain that seems like I’m going to lose my mind at any moment hits my whole body.

Be patient. Hold on.

With trembling hands, I managed to somehow finish the magic formula.

It’s only a theoretical realm, but it’s a realm that I’ve never tried before.

“become… … wind up.”

the time we’ve been through.

Ruined events and sacrificed heroes.

the many failures we have committed.

Within.

Magic was manifested at the fingertips.

Hwaaak!

A pure white light enveloped the surroundings like an explosion.

but it didn’t end

‘Damn it, is it the end difference… … !’

It’s magic that cost everyone’s life, but even that isn’t enough.

oh oh oh!

The demon’s fist approached right in front of me.

But now I don’t even have the strength to escape.

There was nothing more I could do with the broken circle.

“… … oh god damn it.”

unfinished magic.

but nonetheless.

‘Just in case.’

if.

If this ‘last push’ of mine succeeds even imperfectly.

‘I will not commit the same mistake.’

I will never entrust the position of a warrior to someone who is not qualified.

We will not entrust our lives to an unqualified person.

I thought to myself.

and… … .

Kwajik.

My eyesight was darkened.

* * *

“Your son!”

I woke up to the sudden voice.

An old man in a robe was looking at me with tears hanging over him.

familiar look.

A face I had never seen before.

“… … butler?”

“Yes you are! This is butler Merdin! Are you all right?!”

“hmm.”

I looked around.

There is no such thing as bleak ruins anywhere, and of course, there is no such thing as a drunkard.

This is the room I stayed in as a child.

“… … Huh.”

Are you really successful?

I tried to do it as it should be, but I really didn’t expect it to be.

I tried to move my arms and legs.

It runs pretty well. There is no uncomfortable place, and the senses are fine.

If so, there is only one thing to check first.

“butler. What year is it today?”

“Yes yes… … ?”

“I mean the date. date.”

“Am I really okay? You have a headache or… … “

It’s okay, so tell me the date quickly.”

“That’s right, it’s April in the 32nd year of Tehern.”

32 years of Tehern is 20 years ago.

sure My last gamble was successful.

return magic.

The success rate is extremely low at 1%, and little is known about it, so it is a magic that has even been given the name of ‘incomprehensible magic’.

But I hope this will work

‘I was really lucky.’

I got up from the bed and reflexively turned my mana.

3 circles.

There are only 3 rings.

The numbers are too shabby to be the circle of the heir to the Marquis family of Walpurgis, the famous magician of the Empire.

“Tsk, is it just 3 circles?”

“If your head hurts, Bocchan, you need to tell us in advance.”

“Oh, it’s okay.”

I answered roughly and scratched my head.

But something is strange.

“what? What kind of bandages… … ”

“Don’t you remember that too?”

“I think I’ll think about it for a second. I’ll try to guess, so stay.”

It’s like putting a bandage on your head at this time… … .

“A suicide show that I did whenever I was depressed?”

“… … yes?”

“Um, that’s not it. Wait a minute, I’ll try to guess. Otherwise, the candidates are pretty narrow… … ”

Oh, I remembered.

It’s either this or that.

“Ah, did you force Eileen to break up the engagement and then get hit on the head and pass out?”

“… … .”

“Looking at the reaction, I was right. I understand.”

yeah that’s all there is

Eileen Lindell.

there’s no way I can’t remember Because she was engaged to me until I was 20.

The butler, who was looking at me with a puzzled expression, said blankly.

“Boss, let’s find an excellent mental doctor. If you wait a little bit… … ”

“Oh little.”

I roughly stopped the butler and got up. As I approached the mirror, I saw a childish figure.

not a single wrinkle

It was so different from how it looked before returning that it was almost unrealistic.

“It’s good to be young.”

“No what… … ”

The butler looked at me with an expression that looked at me as if I was lacking in something, but it didn’t matter.

I got to the point.

“Butler, so what kind of reaction did the duke’s family have after I showed that rudeness to the princess yesterday?”

“No, I haven’t seen any reaction yet.”

“There was no reaction… … ”

Laughter flowed out.

“… … Ha yes, I guess.”

Can you show a reaction?

They wouldn’t be in such an imposing position either.

“… … yes?”

“No, nothing.”

I waved my hand at the butler and told him to leave.

“Are you all right?”

“Because it’s okay. I have something to organize by myself, so I’m leaving now. I’ll call you later.”

“Then I understand.”

After saying that, the butler spoke to me again as if he was nervous just before he left the room.

“Boss, can’t you go to the princess or something?!”

“… … Okay, so go!”

How bad was my credit score at the age of 20?

* * *

After the butler left the room, I immediately checked my condition.

‘As confirmed, the 3rd circle.’

However, it was difficult to see it as a proper 3rd circle.

The intertwined rings are unstable and it is not strange if they break at any time.

It is proof that the circle was not formed normally.

I want to be seen as a 3rd circle, but I don’t want to put in the effort… … Can we say that it is the result of somehow weaving it with yam?

It was one of my childhood mistakes.

“I had a lot of trouble with this.”

The wildly weaved circles have been harassing me for years… … .

“I need to stabilize the circle first.”

I immediately sat cross-legged and sat down.

Originally, there is no way to normalize an unstable circle in an instant.

But who am I?

Isn’t it Mikhail Walpurgis, the Great Mage of the 9th Circle?

It’s as simple as this.

‘Generally, mana circulates in the right direction and forms a ring based on that direction.’

Thus, a circle is born.

Direction is an important factor that affects the nature of mana. The correct direction known at this point is clockwise.

But I interpreted it differently.

Mana circulates around the body and gathers in the heart to form a circle.

Then, the ‘direction’ doesn’t necessarily have to be one place.

‘That interpretation was correct.’

interpretation was correct.

Thanks to that, I was able to use magic more efficiently than anyone else and reached the 9th circle.

< Self-circulation type >.

A crazy training method that creates circulation points throughout the body and causes 12 mana cycles at once.

now i will do that

“Whoa… … “

I closed my eyes and contemplated my whole body.

After checking the circulation points of each body, they began to circulate mana.

Then, the already uneasy circle creaked.

But this is what I expected.

There’s no way the 3 circles that I made hastily will work normally.

“Keugh… … !”

In a normal case, it wouldn’t have been strange if the whole body exploded due to excessive circulation.

But I’m used to it.

Before returning, I had been repeating this endlessly as if it were a daily routine.

12 places.

After spreading mana to the circulation points of the whole body, it was circulated. At each point of circulation, heat boiled up.

‘The 12 circulation points must be circulated simultaneously.’

Spread over both arms and legs to the shoulders. Forcefully open the passage that was not open.

damn it hurts so bad

But being sick is proof that mana is flowing normally.

There are 10 places where pain still flows.

There are 2 places left.

head and abdomen.

It is also the most important place.

‘The most efficient way is to constantly remember and connect them.’

I remembered.

That bastard. A guy who did everything wrong with self-righteousness even though he was carrying the heavy responsibility of being a hero.

Siegfried.

-Mikhail Unnecessary killings are not allowed by me!

How many territories were destroyed by the Demon God’s army because of saying such things and showing ‘mercy’?

‘I can’t repeat the same mistake this time.’

At that moment, the mana in the head and abdomen began to circulate.

That was the beginning.

Mana circulated in 12 places throughout the body, and the circle in the heart reacted. Then the stabilization of the imperfect circle began to progress.

‘This is fine.’

It’s not bad for trying the autonomous circulation for the first time with this body. However, my pride does not allow me to settle for just 3 circles.

I decided to go a little further.

Ugh.

In the process of expanding and circulating the area, the remnants of mana were collected and formed into one more ring.

4 circles.

“Whoa.”

After that, the energy of the whole body began to stabilize.

It may seem like nothing has changed from the outside, but if you take a closer look, it’s completely different.

After a while.

After safely completing the self-circulation ceremony, I slowly opened my eyes.

Then I checked the body.

It’s definitely cleaner than before.

“Not bad.”

He nodded his head in satisfaction.

* * *

“… … Did he wake up?”

The Marquis of Walpurgis twitched his eyebrows and stood up.

The Great Mage of the 8th Circle and the owner of the Marquis Walpurgis, a famous sorcerer.

To that, the butler replied.

“Yes that’s right.”

“Okay, what did you say as soon as you wake up?

“Uh um… … .”

At the words of the Marquis, the butler tilted his head with a subtle expression.

‘How should I explain this.’

Originally, it would have been asserted.

He also said that he might go find the princess, so he had to take some serious action.

But what should I say?

“To be honest, I’m a little at a loss as to what to say.”

“… … hmm?”

The marquis’ eyes turned strange.

“I too would have tried to report it to His Excellency without delay if you had tried to do something like that.”

“But wasn’t it?”

“Yes, what should I say?”

The attitude of the young master at that time.

What should I express?

“It was poisonous.”

“What do you mean?”

“therefore… … ”

continued the butler.

“You seemed a bit angry.”
