Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 161

Episode 161

“We can go this way.”

“really? Aren’t you going to take off the bottom?”

At my words, the scout who was crawling on the ground wriggling like a slug flinched.

“… … no. I do not take off the bottom.”

“Behave well.”

“Uh huh.”

At my words, the scout crawled on the ground with tears of joy.

After all, I thought that the Dark Elves could not be a great race.

How can you crawl so smoothly?

No one in my country could crawl like this.

[The point of admiration is strange.]

‘It’s an illusion.’

Scouts were quite useful.

Maybe because I’m holding their lives, they didn’t do anything useless.

To be precise, it was punished once, but should I say it was blocked?

As soon as I arrived near the kingdom, I was trying to send a signal to my comrades, but I was caught by Hedos.

Thanks to this, he was able to hide away from the current surveillance network spread across the kingdom.

And what we saw there.

“There goes the ‘renegade’!”

“Dirty bastard!”

It was a sight of the Dark Elves oppressing and ostracizing their own people who did not agree with them.

Fuck!

“Ah!”

A Dark Elf who had been stoned crouched down, bleeding.

But that didn’t stop the stoning.

On the contrary, as if it went well, the intensity got worse.

It’s fair to say that this atmosphere is madness.

“… … Is that Charon?”

Ryan let out a sob.

This is the result of extremists who would not have been mainstream.

The victims of the stones thrown by Charon’s people are not Dark Elves.

They were only suffering one-sidedly.

“Surely serious.”

The butler looked at the forest with a hard expression and murmured.

“Dark elves aren’t the ones who bite their own kind like this. How the hell did this happen… … As the

butler said, the Dark Elves are a very strong race.

Those who have had a hard time being caught up in the harsh world.

That’s why they didn’t easily abandon their people, either for good or for bad.

Except for the shaman who was forced to sacrifice.

“you’re right. It’s double, but I kept the minimum line anyway. this is definitely… … It’s a big deal.”

“I didn’t want it to be like this.”

Heddos and Mia just stared at the scene with miserable expressions.

“Ha, it should have been like this.”

Then the scout who was quietly guiding us spoke.

“Our resurrected ancestors hope so! Those are renegades who reject the ‘Mother’ that even the King acknowledged! They are not even worthy of pity!”

“Close your mouth.”

I hit the scout over the head with my staff as he tried to say something more.

“Keck!”

Why the hell is he so impatient that he can’t make me violent?

I really can’t understand.

When I turned my gaze, the Dark Elves who had been blindsided had disappeared.

Only the red blood left on the ground proves their existence.

It looked the same after that.

… … no, it was more serious.

Most of the Dark Elves were shouting the name of ‘Aether’ and boasting their fanatical faith.

They were trampling on their bloody, moaning fellow countrymen as if for granted.

“Glory to Aether!”

“Strength to our resurrected ancestors!”

“Just revenge outside!”

I couldn’t even laugh anymore.

[…] … Mikhail over there. Are you angry?]

“Not really.”

No, maybe I’m angry.

My head had been cold to the extent that it was strange to myself from before.

‘That means the Dark Elves worked like this before returning.’

It was quite a strange feeling to see the devastation before destroying the world with my own two eyes.

Can’t we just kill them all?

If they’re going to be swayed by madness anyway, wouldn’t it be better to just put an end to them all here?

yeah shit rather… … .

[Mikhail are you okay?]

Set put his hand on my face with a concerned expression.

[…] … Your expression is a little.]

“Is that so?”

My face was reflected in a puddle of water on the floor.

Certainly, as Seth was worried about, his expression was messed up.

‘It seems that the memories were deeply embedded.’

Well, it’s not strange.

Thinking that most of the scenery that I thought of as ‘hell’ started in this forest, of course I couldn’t help but feel emotional.

but.

… … ok let’s calm down

Putting emotions first doesn’t help at all.

Even if you do work, moving within a plan and moving without a plan are completely different.

Anyway.

“I know it’s more shit than I thought. It would be meaningless to meet ‘high-ranking people’ at this rate.”

“What should I do?”

Heddos asked cautiously.

“For now, don’t you have something to do? There must be someone here to save. You expected that in the first place and followed it all the way here.”

“… … Are you referring to Louisa or her?”

“Yeah, do what you do. I have no intention of staying still.”

Hedos is the Master Assassin.

Even if this was the kingdom of the Dark Elves, if he was not bound by the curse, he could come and go like a suggestion room.

I handed him the magic tool I had prepared in advance.

“The barrier that imprisoned the shrine maiden can be managed somehow with this. Just don’t think about taking it out right away, just wait after approaching.”

“… … thank you.”

After saying that, he quietly bowed his head after receiving the magic tool from me.

“The hero… … ”

“Originally, I was going to talk to the ‘higher person’, but I need to change my schedule.”

Seeing the spinning tail, it seems like it would be difficult to solve it with words.

Since that ‘Aether’ came out in the first place, there was no way the words would work just because they went in front.

To that extent, the presence of the ancestors among the Dark Elves is certain.

“All right. If so, let’s pray for luck. Mia is… … Please.”

“don’t worry.”

At my words, Hedos smiled faintly and disappeared.

It was a stealthy move worthy of a Master Assassin.

“… … Alright then.”

I changed my schedule a bit.

I silently stared at the six scouts.

I dragged it around for guidance, but honestly, one is enough.

“I’m a bit good at guiding. Hand first with that guy?”

“… … .”

Hmm no one raises their hand?

It really makes me sad to see him being so uncooperative.

“Then let’s change the way a little bit. From now on, I will take only one of these six.”

“Ha one? Then the rest… … ”

“I’ll release you.”

At my words, the scouts murmured.

I silently looked at the six.

Whatever it is, if six people gather, one of them is sure to have trash.

Oh, of course, they’re not humans, but Dark Elves, but these guys are no different.

“Now close your eyes.”

Six quietly closed their eyes.

“From now on, I will take only one person who has been pointed out the most. Now, quietly, name the victim.”

“… … .”

It’s night.

I quietly waited for one scumbag to be elected, and after a while I was able to decide which scumbag.

“The second one from the left over there.”

“You mean me?”

“What is your name?”

At my words, the scout revealed something about himself with an awkward expression.

“It’s called Jijiboro.”

Jibo, Jiborora… … .

What a name for trash.

“Okay, as our treasure, we will leave only our friends and free the rest. Of course I will erase your memory.”

“Wait a minute! why was i chosen? I can be mine… … !”

“There was only you.”

“… … huh?”

At my words, Jiboro looked at me with a puzzled expression.

I smiled and pointed at him.

“You were the only one who closed your eyes and pointed at someone else.”

“Wow really… … ”

“It’s trash.”

The eyes of the five focused on Jiboro.

A face that looks like garbage.

“… … ah.”

Jiboro averted her gaze.

to Jibo.

Indeed, it could be said that it was a trashy move that appeared in one out of five or six.

“… … Damn it rain!”

Jiboro guided us in a cold sweat.

“Haha why… … !”

“are you okay. They say that if six people get together, one of them must have trash, right? You were just one of them.”

“Shut up!”

Jiboro convulsively attacked me.

Of course, I got hit by a staff right after that.

“Ugh!”

“Anyway, stop making noise and guide me. No one knows that you were trash anyway, since you erased all your memories.”

“Why on earth are you asking me to guide you to that place! It’s the most dangerous place in the Dark Forest!”

Jiboro shouted.

His eyes were trembling violently, as if he was frightened.

“Can I say that? The place we are going to right now would be a space where there is nothing strange about it, even if it is a ‘holy place’ for you guys.”

“That is… … !”

Yes, the destination we are going to right now should be called the Holy Land for the Dark Elves.

That would be too.

“The tomb of Aether, the ancestor.”

Because the destination we are heading to now is the tomb of that ‘Aether’.

* * *

Jiboro showed signs of not wanting to go anyway, but he had no choice.

“I can’t help it if you don’t like it. It’s me, it’s enough if I bring back that memory later.”

“shit!”

In the end, Jiboro had no choice but to guide us to the tomb.

The atmosphere around them was completely different from that of the Dark Elves before.

-The owner’s displeasure… … .

Dirge trembled, covering his whole body with a grass-woven shield.

Of course, there were plenty of reasons.

Because the whole forest was full of damned broken fairies.

– Kill!

-I hate you! ruined! I hate outsiders!

Originally, fairies are innocent and have a good nature.

Of course, I don’t say anything that will hurt anyone.

There is never any ‘malice’ in that word.

But the fairies here are different.

It is only full of malice.

They try to reject, destroy, and drop others.

It was clear that the fairies of the Dark Forest were influenced by Aether.

At that time, the dark fairies were all looking in Dirge’s direction.

– Bright fairy.

– Quite the opposite of us.

Red hostility flashed in both eyes.

The sight of all the Dark Fairies turning their heads all at once seemed eerie.

“You don’t look well.”

“Those children have completely assimilated with our ancestors. I hate light and despise positive emotions. Instead of conveying happiness and life to others, they want to convey unhappiness and death.”

-I hate you.

As soon as Mia finished her words, the dark fairies opened their mouths in unison.

Then, sharp, ferocious teeth were revealed.

-I hate you, I hate you, I die!!

“Oh oh… … ”

Unbeknownst to me, Lian took a step back.

To that extent, the Dark Fairies were ugly and twisted.

-Small pages! jungle… … .

Dirge trembled, clutching my shoulders tightly.

The same goes for our guide Jiboro.

“Heh heh… … damn rain This is why I didn’t want to come here. Dare to be an outsider… … ”

“Agari.”

“Khehe!”

I hit the head of the scout who was talking bullshit.

I saw dark fairies.

These children are simply susceptible to the influence of those around them.

If it wasn’t for this place, I would have lived a bright and happy life like other fairies.

“Poor things. How much malice did it have to be exposed to?”

“You’re not going to talk about saving these things or such ridiculous delusions, are you?”

Jiboro laughed at me.

“Dark fairies are not beings through which something like salvation works. be a warrior Ha yes, you kind of always insisted on hopes that didn’t work. At the same time, he has no interest in our problems… … ”

“A hawk of love!”

Fuck!

“Khehe!”

The staff of love hit Jiboro once again.

I thought he was a guy with a really bad taste.

“Dog dog… … Since there is nothing to refute my words, there must be no reason to resort to violence… … ”

“Yes, you are right. I will save these poor fairies.”

I looked at the fairies with compassionate eyes and lifted the staff.

I didn’t want to do it this way, but if I had to, I’d do it.

Fairies are inherently pure beings.

The current fairies are twisted by ‘malice’.

However, as pure and simple as it is, there is a way to bring these fairies back to their pure white state.

“It’s more.”

-The main owner? what?

I gently stroked Dirge’s head as he trembled with fear.

“Poor fellow. How are you so afraid? The idea of saving the same fairies with your own hands… … ”

– Salvation? how do you do it

I quietly gave Dirge a proper club.

Since ancient times, a fairy who accompanies me must bring at least one club.

“Salvation (physical).”

When stained by a fairy, it can be removed.

With the salvation (physical) of the same fairy.

I already have a lot of ways to make Dirge stronger.

that’s right.

“< Blessing >.”

Reinforcement! Powerful reinforcement magic!

– Oh oh oh!

Dirge’s body burned red.

I screamed at the guy who looked like his hair would be dyed yellow any moment.

“You’ve become stronger, charge!”
