Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 2
in episode 2
, I decided to go straight to the second stage.
Should I say that it is a power that can be equipped without any preparation?
“Multicasting.”
To put it bluntly, it is a technique that comes along with a self-circulating system as a set.
Literally multicasting.
It is a high-level magic skill that binds multiple spells at the same time.
The title of ‘mage’ is attached from the 8th circle in the case of the 7th circle ‘great mage’.
And it is common knowledge that multi-casting is a skill that can be used from the level of a mage.
But I’m different.
Simultaneous circulation, which is so intricate as to be deformed, makes this ‘multicasting’ possible.
The important thing is that my multi-casting doesn’t cover the circle.
Even a 7th circle mage can only multicast at 3rd circle.
But I have no limits.
“Fire lance.”
“Ice spear.”
When I chanted the two magics of the 4th circle on the spot, the two magics floated on the palm of my hand at the same time.
“It’s definitely going well.”
As soon as I finished checking, I immediately dispelled the magic.
There was no big problem with multicasting itself, but it couldn’t last long at the moment.
The total amount of mana is lethal.
“… … Is the level of double casting the limit for Circle 4 as of now?”
Well, I guess that’s good enough for now.
Anyway, I checked the multicasting thing. Now that the autonomous circulation system has also been successfully installed in the body, we should think about other issues.
I didn’t have to think deeply about what was important.
“… … Eileen Lindell.”
The princess of the famous swordsman of the Empire, Duke Lindell, and the girl who was my fiancée.
* * *
-I hate servility.
I remember the look in Aileen’s eyes as she looked down at me with cold eyes and said those words.
Basically, the human being called ‘Mikhail Walpurgis’ has completely changed at the age of 23.
The relationship with her happened before the age of 23, when he was infinitely shabby.
at that time… … .
So now I was a person who couldn’t eat in many ways.
In particular, a girl named Eileen was close to the human figure she detested the most. So it was no wonder that she hated being engaged to me.
… … what’s up
If only she hadn’t done some silly tricks.
Anyway, the relationship between me and her before the return was completely over at this time.
Nothing further followed.
no, it happened once.
one last time.
“Tsk.”
Recalling that time, I clicked my tongue briefly and thought about what to do with this.
I’m so worried
– Do you have Mikhail!
A familiar voice came from beyond the door. At that moment, I muttered, forgetting even what I was thinking.
“… … father?”
bang!
Before he could finish his words, the door suddenly opened and his father entered.
“Yes, it’s me, you bastard.”
“… … .”
Oh, this person is still the same.
* * *
“You informed me of your ugliness!”
Father shrieked at me, digging his coveted beard.
“Yes, I know.”
“Yeah, I don’t know! So now you… … hmm? Wait what?”
Looking at my father with a puzzled expression, I replied calmly.
“I know. I ruined the family honor. Even if you don’t have to say more, you know it well.”
no this kid
My father was looking at me with those eyes.
But what can I do?
First of all, it is true that I ruined the family’s honor yesterday.
Father pursed his lips.
“Then you know that it’s not strange if I break your leg club now, right?”
“Oh, I don’t know.”
“… … what?”
I quickly continued, discouraging my father from trying to break my limbs at any moment.
“Listen for a moment. I didn’t do it without thinking.”
“… … what?”
Oh, there is a tendon on the forehead.
This is a reaction just before it hits me in the head.
I spoke quickly.
“I had a plan of my own.”
“… … What do you mean?”
To be honest, I really had no idea at the time.
But revealing it is the sewage.
“Honestly, wasn’t the duchy asking us to break off our engagement unilaterally?”
“It did.”
“That was a bit out of line.”
At my words, my father stared blankly at me. Then he looked at my head in disbelief and said:
“Did you go crazy after being hit on the head by a princess?”
“I am sane, father.”
“Is that so? Seeing you say something I like after a while doesn’t seem normal.”
My father dragged a chair around and sat down on it.
It is said that what I have said now has quite aroused my father’s interest.
“It is true that the duke’s treatment was overly self-righteous. I’ll put off breaking my leg club, so keep talking.”
“What kind of family is our family? I’m born again… … No, isn’t it a magician who has produced many exceptional wizards?”
“yes.”
“But, no matter how ducal, you unilaterally demanded a breakup with our family. Didn’t you cross the line a bit too much?”
“Hmm yes. So I felt unfair, so I went to the princess and grabbed the hem of my skirt and messed around. Is this what it is?”
One more sinew stretched on his father’s forehead. It means that if I say one wrong word, I will break one of my leg clubs.
“I hope you can think of it as one step back for two steps forward.”
“Your tongue is long.”
“Now listen. What were the conditions when we were betrothed to the Duke of Lindell?”
“I will not learn any mana training methods. In order to create a pure successor, mana of different natures cannot be mixed.”
“Yes, it is.”
Heirs are a big deal.
Especially the families of knights and wizards who are greatly influenced by lineage.
Therefore, this ‘promise’ must be kept very strictly.
“But what if the princess violated that condition?”
“… … hmm?”
At those words, the father’s expression suddenly became serious. Because this is another issue.
What if the gongnyeo had been learning the appropriate training method to become a ‘knight’ even before she got engaged to me?
You broke your promise.
It wasn’t just a simple family line, but a strict promise between the imperial marquis and the duke.
“… … The duke tricked us? Are you really sure?”
“I am sure.”
“The grounds?”
“At first I went with the intention of protesting. But I felt something strange about the princess. sense of heterogeneity. The mana surrounding her was very unstable.”
The angry father’s complexion changed.
“That is strange. Did you notice something that even I, the Great Mage of the 8th Circle, didn’t notice? I bet you don’t even know how absurd that is.”
“of course.”
I didn’t hesitate.
Because I already have a scenario prepared.
“You are proud. Go on.”
“A while ago, I confirmed that her body was tempered with mana, albeit only briefly.”
“… … hmm?”
It’s a lie.
In the past, I had never confirmed anything like that from her, and I was helplessly broken off the marriage.
But that doesn’t matter.
‘Cause I know the ‘truth’
Therefore, the means to arrive at that truth are not important.
“Can you be sure?”
“There is only one method that even my father, who is in the 8th circle, will not notice. that… … ”
“… … An ancient magic tool.”
“Yes, it is. The reason I even did unnecessary acting that day was to confirm that. And, as you can guess, that was the reason why the ducal family unilaterally requested the breakup.”
“In other words, the princess noticed something, and that’s why they unilaterally asked for a breakup.”
“Yes. After the breakup, there are many reasons to look around. The ducal family would have needed time to justify it.”
Although it is a lie.
But my father seems to have sounded quite enticing.
“The duke wanted to deceive us and we almost fell for it… … That’s what you want to say now.”
“It must be hard to believe easily.”
There are problems that I had during this period, and the image will never be good… … .
“So I want to prove it with my own hands.”
“If everything you say right now is a lie, it is by no means a light matter. This time, it was just a matter of hurting our family’s face, but trusting your words and protesting against the duke’s family is a completely different matter.”
“I know.”
“Can you afford it?”
My father was looking at me in a completely different mood than before.
The gaze of the family head of the empire’s greatest master of magic.
“If you really didn’t lie and you’re sure of what you said, then I would believe you.”
“yes.”
“However, if what you said is a lie… … My father’s enormous mana began to press my body as it was
.
I was about to bend my knees.
But I pretended nothing was wrong and looked at my father.
“I can handle it.”
“In case of failure, you will have to give up the name Walpurgis as well as disqualify yourself as the successor. Would you still do it?”
“There is nothing I can do.”
At my answer, my father closed his eyes tightly. After that, I thought about it for a while and didn’t say anything.
“Okay, let’s try it.”
It was just the answer I wanted.
* * *
“… … Wait a minute, what?”
The butler stuttered.
“I’m going to the Duke’s house now.”
At my words, the butler was silent for a moment, holding his face.
“Please tell me to lie.”
“Yeah no It’s true. I’m going to the duke’s house now.”
“Oh God.”
The butler looked up at the sky with a miserable expression.
In an instant, his face looked as if he had aged 20 years.
“What the hell are you trying to do?”
“Let’s protest a little.”
At my words, the butler had an expression that he did not understand.
“I only have a bad feeling, but… … Even if you don’t, you don’t have a good reputation within the family, but if something goes wrong this time, it can’t be undone.”
“are you okay.”
because that won’t happen
However, the butler’s expression still seemed unwilling.
“I believe this butler will take care of it. Have a good trip then.”
“What are you talking about? Of course, the butler will also go with you.”
“… … yes?”
The butler looked at me with an expression asking what I was saying.
“Why am I going?”
“We need a witness. It’s the butler’s job to get involved in matters related to our family.”
“Your Excellency’s permission… … “
Of course I already took it.”
At my answer, the butler lowered his head with a pale face.
Haha to pretend like that.
In the first place, he probably wasn’t a person with the courage to be weak enough to scare away even the duke’s family.
“… … Oh, what should I do with this?”
is tough.
