Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 179

The great mage who transcends by returning Chapter 179

It’s been three days since Mikhail disappeared.

And during those three days, many things in the sanctuary changed.

There are so many things that you can’t even think of in three days… … .

“I’ll turn, really.”

Lian looked at the scene unfolding before him with a liberated expression.

Either a riot or hell.

it’s not like that

But what should I say… … .

‘It’s an embarrassing sight in a different sense from those things.’

The devotees were kneeling reverently in unison, with their hands clasped together.

The supply of elixirs has stopped.

When the supply of the elixir was cut off, the followers complained of withdrawal symptoms and even showed radical behavior.

They were trying to blackmail the archbishop in order to somehow obtain the elixir, or they had behaved to the extent that they could not be regarded as devout believers.

It was said that the quality of the stimulants spread in the sanctuary was so bad.

“Honestly, I thought that the sanctuary would collapse on that day… … .”

The butler frowned as he recalled that time.

There is no Mikhail, who usually solves problems.

Besides, there is nothing more difficult to solve than the religious problem.

Damn it, Mikhail, the warrior who was supposed to solve the problem, disappeared without a single word.

It was an embarrassing situation. really.

If things had gone as they were, the irreversible situation might have happened.

And then ‘she’ intervened.

– okay! Did this mean that there are many heads to break!

– Who are you all… … Gaah?!

“Uh hmm. this is so… … .”

Recalling that time, Eileen turned her gaze to the sunny sky.

Oh the sky is so clear

Like back then… … .

The sky is so clear… … .

There must have been something else, but let’s not think too deeply about it.

beautiful sky… … .

It seems that something like blood has just come out, but the clear sky is important. Cancer.

With that thought in mind, Eileen looked ahead with a liberated expression.

A woman was standing in front of the congregation.

A pious pure white nun’s uniform, hair that seemed to be woven with silver threads, and silver eyes.

The words ‘divine’ and ‘reverent’ come to mind naturally.

she said, looking around with benevolent eyes.

“Everybody, put your head down.”

“Ah ah… … .”

Eileen closed her eyes at the words that came out of that divine mouth.

However, no matter how she reacted, the worshipers who were lying on their faces all at once hit their heads on the ground.

The woman slowly opened her mouth with a satisfied expression.

“great. Everyone is going to hit their heads like that. you are doing well. But why hasn’t everyone done this until now… … .”

“Speak over there… … .”

“why? did i say something wrong? Can’t you say something like X is like X?”

“Oh no, it’s not wrong, but the choice of language… … .”

“hmm.”

The woman tilted her head as if she couldn’t understand.

Each time he nodded, the believer in front broke into a cold sweat.

It’s not strange.

No, as a believer, it was an extremely natural thing to do.

The woman who is spitting harsh words here and now was by no means an ordinary existence.

Eileen let out a small sigh.

Then a voice in her ear.

“Hmm, not bad.”

“That’s right, old man. Should I say that it is about 0.8 Mihai?”

“… … .”

… … I’ll take care of it, really.

Can not help it.

Seeing the two of them, it seems that they have no intention of stopping them, and here, as a common sense person, they have no choice but to step forward… … .

With that thought, she said the woman’s name.

“Ariandel-sama, for now, it is better to purify your words a little… … .”

Saint Ariandel.

Yes.

This woman sitting here right now, along with the hero, is the very ‘saint’ who is said to be the most honorable being in the kingdom!

“Sir Eileen’s purification?”

“There’s a head or something like that, right? Wouldn’t it be better to set a little example as one who stands in front?”

“Hmm… … .”

At those words, Ariandel tilted his head for a moment and then asked back.

“How was the hero?”

“… … yes?”

“He’s been away for a while now, but that’s what he normally does. I want to refer to it.”

“Yo warrior. Warrior… … .”

For a moment, she thought of each and every thing about Mikhail.

– Agari!

– Let’s go meat shields!

… … hmm.

After thinking about it, she smiled broadly and said to Ariandel.

“Come to think of it, I don’t even look bad now! Fighting, Holy Lady!”

Eventually, she too accepted.

It seemed that he was gradually becoming colored just like the two of them, but what could he do?

If that’s fate, you have to accept it.

‘… … life.’

Aileen looked up at the sky again with a bitter expression.

“By the way, Sir Eileen. You said that the hero suddenly disappeared, right?”

“Well, for now it is.”

“… … Hmm.”

At those words, Ariandel covered his mouth and fell into trouble.

Eileen asked her cautiously.

“Something… … Are there any problems?”

“The believers who are quiet right now. It looks fine right now, but the problem is not resolved.”

“That word… … .”

“It means that their thirst or uncertainty for their faith cannot be resolved with just my existence. Of course, there are no problems now.”

What if you disappear

This is pure worry as a saintess.

How to solve the problem of those who lost their way?

But that was then.

“That will be all right, Lady.”

It was Ryan.

He, who was quietly listening to the conversation from the side, spoke to Ariandel.

“Because Michael wouldn’t have disappeared so suddenly for some useless reason.”

“… … is that so?”

“Yes, it is true that he is a guy with a lot of eccentricities. Anyway, I’m not a guy who neglects my duties.”

“… … ah.”

At those words, Ariandel looked at him with her eyes wide open.

She took turns looking at the three of the warrior’s party.

Even if you grumble about the ‘Hero’… … .

‘You’re being trusted.’

He is trusted as a warrior.

trust.

It is very important.

good night. If the party believes so, there is no reason for you to deny it.

Just like they do, believe in yourself and wait.

‘Well then… … .’

As soon as I no longer had to worry about the biggest problem, other questions quickly took over.

may i ask this question?

For a moment she pondered, but, as always with this kind of trouble, curiosity won lightly.

“But I… … Sir Eileen? I’m sorry for saying this all of a sudden, but that… … .”

“… … Um yes?”

Eileen tilted her head and asked, and the saintess spoke cautiously.

“Have you ever sold your soul to the devil?”

… … huh?

Aileen thought as she saw her asking a question with an expression of regret.

‘What are you arguing about?’

* * *

[Uh uh huh… … .]

Anubis’ ears and tail were drooping.

I climbed up on top of the guy who was rolling on the ground and sat down.

The right amount of exercise is always a way to keep the body healthy.

It’s been a long time since I sweated, so I couldn’t be this refreshed.

“… … Well, I was expecting something like this.”

Set looked at me and Anubis with a strange expression, then said.

“That is great. In the end, even the apostle was beaten like this.”

“What’s new?”

Of course, unlike usual, Set has a somewhat relieved expression.

He probably didn’t get along very well with Anubis, but… … .

[Why why am I like this… … .]

“Originally, bullshit is expensive. Please don’t feel too unfair. That’s what the world is all about.”

At my words, sad tears dripped from Anubis’ eyes.

[Is it wrong to prove your faith? Perfect Faith Finding perfect faith is so… … .]

“It was a random test without consent. That would be against your rules as an ‘apostle’.”

[It’s mankind who forgot about it anyway. Asar sacrificed himself to protect the world. It was never easy. It was sublime.]

As he said that, Anubis growled slightly as if he remembered something unpleasant.

[but… … But in the end, mankind forgot. They don’t even remember the name ‘Asar’. What would that mean? They have abandoned ‘faith’ and ‘belief’.]

“… … Hmm.”

Anubis’s words are simple.

In the end, this guy is disappointed in mankind for forgetting the god he worshiped.

He may have despaired as he gradually forgot.

Asar was a great god.

I still don’t know the details, but at least that’s what I’ve heard so far.

And he sacrificed himself in some incident and died.

I don’t know why the absolute existence of God died and the Demon God was thrown out of the world.

but… … .

Yes, from the point of view of serving, the apostles must have hoped that their god would remain in the history of mankind forever.

It’s not a false wish.

[Not only that. faith. They ask for trust in my god and ask for mercy. But no one leaves the sanctuary to exalt God’s name with good deeds. I just hope that I will be saved through narrow-minded faith.]

“It is a good deed… … .”

[What kind of god would want a narrow and blind faith toward himself? That’s just fanaticism. Not at all wholesome… … .]

“So you are different?”

At those words, Anubis trembled startled.

As if beaten, he looked at me with trembling eyes.

[…] … That’s it.]

I couldn’t say more.

“Yes, it may be true that the faith of the believers who want God to respond in the sanctuary is dishonest.”

The faith of the believers I saw.

I think it is also part of the quest and a form of faith.

… … Of course yes.

that wouldn’t be the best.

Perhaps they are just groping through a dark labyrinth, unable to turn their eyes to the nearest solution.

but.

“After all, it is a process.”

[…] … !]

Right or wrong, it’s a growing pain in the process of heading to the destination.

No faith and faith can be perfect from the beginning.

It is broken, painful, self-aware and complete.

That’s how it will be completed.

“If you really had the role of testing their faith and helping them with good intentions, I would rather have helped them. If you’re going down the wrong path, it’s definitely the right thing to do to help stop it.”

But what about you?

Instead of shining a light on lost seekers, he tried to break their legs and blind them.

“It is not a test.”

[…] … .]

“It’s just taking out your anger. You just took your anger out on them because you thought you were betrayed by them.”

Anubis’ body trembled.

[I… … .]

Why on earth do I have to say this to an apostle who has lived much longer than me?

You must have experienced and felt many things over a longer period of time than me.

I said with a small sigh.

“Just in case, don’t do anything related to this incident, such as erasing the members’ memories.”

[…] … Yes?]

It has already happened.

In one way or another, the sanctuary’s followers must have suffered one confusion and suffered from it.

That’s why Anubis must have thought.

I wish I could erase my memory

With that, all ‘confusion’ and ‘failure’ will be eliminated.

But it shouldn’t be like that.

Someone has to bear it.

It is not to get rid of the wandering and troubles they have experienced, but to lead them in the right direction.

“Let me prove it.”

With those words, he stood up.

Now is the time to step out.

I said, looking at Anubis who was staring blankly at me.

The test of Anubis is the proof of true faith.

“Then where should I watch?”

I will definitely prove it.
