Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 166

The Grand Mage who transcends by regression Episode 166

After the surprising facts were revealed, Mia stared into space with her mouth open for a while.

“I am the reincarnation of the founder… … ?”

“Sometimes it happens.”

I roughly answered Mia’s words and turned around.

A dark elf was seen with its head on the ground.

It was Jiboro, a scout.

Still, he didn’t have the slightest thought of denying his ancestor as a dark elf, but he was banging his head from the moment he saw that scene.

“I don’t know the ancestor!”

“Oh no, I don’t have any memories like that, do I? Even if I was reincarnated in the first place… … .”

Then, as if remembering something, Mia raised her head and shouted.

“Come to think of it, I don’t have any memories? If I’m the ancestor, shouldn’t it be just a memory of the past or something like that?”

“It’s normal not to have one.”

what did you say

“Obviously listening to Miko’s words, it doesn’t seem like the soul was properly inherited, and it looks like it’s broken into pieces. It’s strange that I have memories.”

“Uh, is that so?”

“Of course, the remains you just absorbed must have been one of those fragments, so there will be changes. but… … .”

“but?”

I pondered for a while whether I should say this or not.

However, I finally said it because I knew that even if I did, it would be useless.

“The memories recovered like that won’t be so good.”

“… … ah.”

I know that they are not pleasant at all from the perspective of looking at Aether’s memories, even for a short time.

“I might not be able to handle it. My memories as Aether are about that.”

Maybe from Mia’s point of view, it might be better to just live halfway.

A good memory not to know.

“There is no need to look for it. There are plenty of other ways. From what I hear, it seems that the self-proclaimed Aether in question is voluntarily absorbing the madness of the forest.”

“… … Uhm.”

“In that case, when the woman has absorbed the right amount of madness, it’s enough to destroy it entirely.”

It is also prepared accordingly.

Even if it’s the reincarnation of Aether, it’s going to be difficult for Mia to become a full force right now.

“no.”

But she shook her head.

“In the end, the hero volunteered to suffer because of something entangled with me.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

After all, isn’t that what a warrior’s job is?

Because they give you all kinds of privileges to do that.

“still… … I will try.”

“I see.”

“And I’m curious.”

Mia blankly looked up at the sky.

“What the hell happened? I just felt a little bit. It wasn’t like my memory came back, but… … .”

She frowned slightly and grabbed her chest.

“little… … My heart ached.”

Eaten up.

He said that such feelings spread like ripples deep in his heart.

Even she didn’t know what the true nature of that feeling was.

It will catch on nonetheless.

If I relate it to the memories of my former comrades that I occasionally come back to… … .

‘Is that a feeling?’

I understood a little bit.

The world before the return was painful and indescribably terrible… … .

Sometimes, very occasionally, I would think of the sky I saw with everyone.

It’s a very strange feeling.

It’s a strange feeling that no one who hasn’t had a similar experience can understand.

“Then do it yourself.”

So let’s respect it.

This is her choice, I have nothing to say.

“Yes, I will.”

She nodded.

After my conversation with Mia, I immediately called Jiboro, who was still banging his head in the corner.

“Hey, don’t do anything stupid and come.”

“Have you ever eaten a pear?”

“Stop bullshit.”

Perhaps that is the nature of the dark elves, Jiboro seemed to have no doubt that Mia was the reincarnation of Aether.

“Isn’t it too easy to believe?”

“… … No matter how much it is, it is impossible to deny the founding father with that miracle in front of our eyes.”

“I don’t think that’s what a guy who blindly believed a fake to be the ‘progenitor’ a while ago would say.”

“That was for a reason. She manipulated the hatred and malice around her right in front of her eyes. He even had the symbol of the progenitor, the ‘property of grief’… … .”

“Besides, they look alike?”

“Yeah… … .”

Jiboro paused for a moment.

“It was very identical to the appearance of the founder who had been handed down. Besides, its sanctity and grace. Everyone thought it was kind of inimitable.”

“Hmm.”

“… … But it was my mistake. Admit it. That I was the problem.”

He has always been a bad guy in terms of personality, but his respect for the ancestors seems sincere.

The fact that the whole kingdom filled with these guys has been taken over must mean that ‘Aether’ is really imitating the real thing.

“Come to think of it, were the elven sisters in the legend twins?”

“Uh hmm? Although it is.”

That’s right.

I roughly nodded at Jiboro’s words and went to the main point.

“Anyway, doesn’t that mean that you are now recognizing that Mia as your real ‘mother’? yes?”

“That’s right.”

“But why did you tell that mother that you were a traitor? I remember that time clearly.”

“that… … !”

Jiboro tried to say something with his mouth closed, but there was no way he could answer.

Because that’s what it actually was.

Even if the word ‘traitor’ was directed at Hedos, it didn’t matter.

Either way, it doesn’t change the fact that they’ve disrespected the mother they so revered.

“To you, Aether, the founder, is a great being and one to respect and follow. Is that right?”

“That’s right… … .”

“You have already offended me once. If everything goes back to normal, your rudeness will be known to the rest of your people.”

“Ahhh… … !”

Jiboro’s complexion turned pale.

Their blind faith in their ancestors can be seen just by looking at how the forest is now going crazy.

The same goes for Jiboro.

In fact, at the point where everyone was deceived, honestly, that guy is that guy, but that’s not important.

I said to him in a soft voice.

“but… … Depending on the case, there may be an option to make up for the rudeness with a bigger ‘ball’.”

“… … !”

At my words, the boy widened his eyes.

Then he asked urgently.

“What can I do?”

“I’m not trying to force you to do anything, just get out of here and spread the word.”

“If it’s a rumor… … .”

I laughed at that guy.

“It’s not a complicated story.”

It is entwined with Sijo and a terrible bad relationship.

Sisters who were once precious… … .

“Hemera has descended to the tomb of the founder!”

“… … !”

Jiboro’s eyes widened.

“It’s not a difficult story, is it?”

really.

* * *

A few days later, Dock Alphaheim was turned upside down.

It was because of the return of the scout, who barely survived after being battered.

No, to be precise… … .

“I saw Hehemera!”

It was because of the message the scout had delivered.

Hemera.

There is not a dark elf who does not know that hateful name.

The one who betrayed my sister Aether and left her in endless pain.

For those who respect Aether as their founder and mother, the existence of Hemera is a symbol of evil and an object to be hated.

It was fine until there though.

There was a high possibility that that absurd story was simply a scout’s misunderstanding or just an excuse.

But seeing what happened next, no one could just ignore the scout’s story.

Wow!

The sacred place of the Dark Elves, which should not be allowed and cannot be accessed by anyone at the same time.

In Aether’s tomb, a golden light like the sun began to burn splendidly.

“What is this… … .”

“The sun!”

The sun is never ominous.

However, the story is completely different if the sunlight was observed in the tomb of Aether, who is known to have had ‘darkness’ in this dark forest.

the problem is.

As the years passed, the madness and malice around the tomb became indescribably stronger.

No Dark Elves could pass through it and reach the tomb.

but.

“Yes, isn’t he there?”

A ‘new hope’ was born for the Dark Elves.

An existence that can freely enter and exit the Dark Forest without being affected by madness or malice.

Aether.

The great ancestors are resurrected to be with him!

It was only natural that the eyes of the Dark Elves were focused on her.

“Mother, a mace to the wicked sister who betrayed you!”

“Show no mercy to those who dishonor your grave!”

Numerous Dark Elves shouted the name of Aether in unison.

They naturally believed that their mother would go to the grave for ‘just revenge’.

And ‘Aether’ came out.

She held her grief high as she brushed her children with her usual benevolent eyes.

“Take it easy, my children!”

She declared in front of everyone that she would definitely bring the matter to a close.

The Dark Elves cheered.

Perhaps they are watching the moment that becomes history right in front of their eyes.

old legend.

The moment when the bad relationship between the sisters that remained in history is resolved… … !

And they were sure

They said they made the right choice!

Of course, the Dark King who led them was also the same.

Until this situation, there were ‘noble sacrifices’ of the shamans, and there were things like this… … .

look!

‘I’m not wrong!’

Dark Lord Brakrion was convinced.

That ‘Mother’ would show her a clear path.

So, in his time, push the abomination outside, and the Dark Elves will rise as victors!

In the midst of all kinds of desires, ‘Aether’ moved.

‘Damn it.’

While trying to hide the inside that seemed to be twisted at any moment.

* * *

I sat down where Aether’s corpse had been and waited.

Suspicious serenity.

And after a while, darkness slowly filled the surroundings.

no it’s a bit different

Some might find it equally ominous, but it didn’t look that way to me.

Because looking ominous and ‘ominous’ are two completely different things.

[…] … Too dark

?

[I knew it was related to the devil, but this isn’t just normal. As long as it’s not contaminated by demons… … .]

“I guess so.”

I replied and slowly got up.

At the same time, an indescribably strong force began to press on my shoulders.

In an instant, the area around the tomb was filled with soggy darkness.

Quadduk.

They greedily tried to devour the surroundings.

even me.

But I had no intention of being treated kindly.

“stop.”

thud!

The life force of the World Tree flowed from the staff and embraced me.

Hwaaak!

Life force turned into light, illuminating the surroundings and completely driving out the darkness that was trying to eat me.

Kigeek! Kigi Geek!

They did not even dare to fight against the energy of the World Tree and withdrew.

I slowly expanded the energy of the World Tree.

I quietly glared at the entrance, wrapped in a tailwind full of vitality.

“How about coming out now?”

“… … Hmm.”

In the darkness on the other side, purple eyes shed light.

“Whoops, I heard that the hero of the day was a wizard, but he’s doing a pretty interesting trick.”

“Shouldn’t this be enough to beat some demons?”

I said that and pointed at her with a staff.

“Including you.”

“I am a being who has existed since a past you dare not fathom. Be polite, human child.”

“Okay.”

There are times when I think that having good eyes is also a mask.

If I had been able to look at that elf like a normal person, I would have just been intoxicated by the beauty of its appearance.

But damn it.

These eyes do not show only what is good to see.

“I’m not polite to people like you.”

The appearance of that ‘Aether’ was terribly distorted.

Dozens of black eyeballs and twisted teeth sprouted here and there, and the skin was also black and twisted.

… … Know.

[Michael that… … .]

“Yes.”

I continued talking without taking my eyes off the devastating sight.

“Remove that from here.”

certainly.

I remember seeing something like that even before returning.

It wasn’t as clear as it is now, but… … .

In any case, there is only one case where it has fallen into such a grotesque form.

okay.

‘A contract with the demon god.’

That’s all.
