Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 207
The great mage who transcends by regression Episode 207
The death of Marquis Kelibos.
Of course, after that, the land of Kelibos was thrown into great confusion.
The current situation was to the extent that even the imperial family was interested in it.
Kellibos’ honor, which had never existed before, was literally stuck in the gutter, and his authority also fell into the abyss.
It is said that the nobles are debating daily about whether the Marquis of Kelibos will be able to maintain its position as a ‘great family’ in the future.
“… … hmm.”
I crossed my arms and looked at the person across from me.
“Heh heh heh… … .”
Myrun, whose eyes were completely black, lay face down on the desk.
Myrun said as he fell face down.
“It’s a recent thought, but I think the previous article suits me.”
“Where is the fit? Originally, when a person shuts up, everything is done.”
Myrun is the second son, but he is the most supported blood relative in a situation where all the existing retainers have been separated.
To put it bluntly.
If Myrun does not become the owner of Kelibos, it is certain that the Kelibosran family will be shattered.
To that extent, at this point, he occupied a large part in the family of marquis.
The problem is that.
That the shit that the former Marquis of Kellibos had packed was bigger and rotten than expected.
The current family of the Marquess of Kelibos was the exact opposite of the direction of the ideal family that Myrun had envisioned.
This means that the road to suffering is open.
… … sorry for him
“It’s not easy to fill a vacant seat, and it’s not easy to suddenly change the family’s direction.”
Myrun scratched his head.
“… … But if you leave it alone, you will be no different from my father, so this is very ambiguous.”
“If you are good, you will do well.”
He had not yet formally handed over the title of Marquis.
However, it is only a matter of time before he can quickly go to the capital within a few days and be recognized for his title.
“Walpurgis also decided to help to some extent, didn’t it? It will work out. Of course, it’s not free.”
“I am thinking thank you.”
He bowed his head again.
It’s already the 11th thanks. It’s not really free help, but he seems to be grateful for the fact that he ‘helps’ anyway.
Myrun changed the topic.
“Are you leaving right away?”
“Because I have work to do.”
To be honest, there are too many of them.
Besides, as a result, this time also became the task of beating the devil… … .
‘Anyway, it wasn’t completely in my plan.’
This heavy and cool feeling.
Ah, it’s time to go back to Mikhail, the magician of the plan.
“okay. Well, the burden that the hero has taken on is not something that can be replaced by someone else.”
Myrun nodded as if he understood.
Of course, what he said is not wrong.
But before that, it is also true that even if I were here a little longer, I would no longer be able to help him.
Old vassals have fallen and young blood has taken their place.
Even they are actively supporting and loyal.
The imperial family will also give him strength.
As a former knight of the imperial family, there is no reason not to use him, whose loyalty to the imperial family is also firm.
What is it?
There are certainly many challenges for Myrun to solve, but that doesn’t mean there is no hope for him.
In the future, it’s up to him to do it.
“You know why I want the Kellibos family to continue.”
“Yes, I know.”
Myrun nodded with a firm expression.
The devil stretches out his hand wherever he goes without a sound or rumor.
Disrupting order is what they want.
Just because one part is festered, if you cut out the whole thing, the confusion the demons so much desire will come.
“It is never easy to do what I want from you. Kelibos must continue to be a great family, and all previous ills must be put in order.”
“… … yes.”
“It is obviously very difficult to maintain family prestige and change direction in such a chaotic situation. I am asking you to do that difficult thing.”
“I am prepared.”
He nodded.
There is no hesitation in his answer.
I should have prepared for all of this at the point where I was trying to fight against my father in the first place.
“great.”
Choosing him was the right thing to do.
different from before the return.
There are no more knights who have taken on the karma of immorality by themselves in despair.
“Then, I sincerely hope that glory will be with you on your future path.”
“thank you.”
At my words, Myrun laughed.
It must be different from the last time I saw him… … .
okay.
Hopefully, this time he will find the honor and happiness he longed for.

After finishing the work of the Marquis Kellibos, I headed to the temple where the party was.
“Oh, you are here.”
Ariandel, who was in the middle of cleaning up the temple, greeted me with a wide smile.
“The church has decided to send a new archbishop. It will take some time, but until then, I’m going to select one of the faithful priests here and appoint it as the head.”
“Good. You do.”
If you had a discerning eye like hers, you would have picked out a good enough priest.
you will be able to trust
“What are the other guys doing roughly?”
“Eileen-nim and Lian-nim seem to be in the middle of training, and Merdin-nim is with the Marquis.”
“… … Hmm.”
butler and father
Well, there will be something to talk about.
The butler will have a lot to say about his mother this time… … .
At that time, Ariandel, who was quietly looking at me, asked cautiously.
“… … Are you all right?”
“What are you talking about?”
“From your point of view, Mikhail, this would not have been so light. You wouldn’t have expected it.”
At that, I smiled bitterly.
A few days ago, he looked at me and made complicated expressions and hesitated while trying to talk to me.
“it’s okay. now.”
“now… … .”
“No matter who it is, it is bound to go through the pain of loss. It’s something I can’t help but go through.”
Plus last minute.
My father and I felt mother’s warmth for a moment.
Well, I think that’s enough.
“My mother passed away as expected. That’s enough.”
“Surely… … .”
“Come to think of it, I couldn’t say thank you. After all, Ariandel had nothing to do with it.”
I bowed my head to her.
“I have been blessed this day.”
No matter how strong-willed Mother is, the soul cannot move like that without any outside help.
A situation where everyone is confused.
There, someone guided her mother’s spirit and brought it back to normal.
You don’t even have to think deeply about that ‘someone’.
She didn’t seem to show it too much, but to be grateful is to be grateful.
“ah.”
She blushed a little.
“Because it was something I had to do.”
“You seem to have a talent for utilizing the power of a saintess more than I thought.”
This was a bit surprising.
Even if I did change things, in Ariandel’s case, I wouldn’t be able to intervene.
But her growth was faster than I thought.
This would have been possible only a few years later.
‘Is there something else.’
Nothing comes to mind right now.
Wouldn’t she have been engrossed in training in a space completely cut off from the outside world?
If there is something variable… … .
perhaps.
or something similar to me.
‘No, that’s not it.’
I quickly erased that absurd hypothesis from my mind.
I know how I went back in time and came back.
10 circles.
It is not an area that non-mages Ariandel can reach.
And I don’t feel like I’ve gone back in time from the way she’s been in front of me.
“If it helped me, I would rather be grateful. I think it’s fortunate.”
Her smile as she said that was exactly what I remembered.
“It’s a bit hard to end with just words. If there is anything you want, I would like to give it to you somehow.”
“well.”
It’s not that I gave favors in hopes of a reward.
She said that and tilted her head.
She thought about it for a while.
“ah!”
As if he remembered it belatedly, he clapped his hands and told me.
“Then why don’t you grow your hair a bit?”
“… … yes?”
It was a bit of a nonsense.
It’s nothing else, I want my hair to grow… … .
But she just looked at me with expectant eyes.
“Will that be enough? No, I have a different request… … .”
“No, I think that would be fine. I have a feeling that it would suit Mikhail better.”
grow your hair
I briefly touched up my hair, which I had been keeping short recently.
Come to think of it, before the hectic return, I tied my hair that had grown randomly.
– Mikhail, can I tie you up?
Ariandel always volunteered to get my hair trimmed and braided, no matter what bothered me so much.
“It doesn’t matter.”
“I’ll tidy up your hair!”
“uh… … .”
I’ve felt it before, but what the hell is the sense of distance to Ariandel?
I nodded my head while feeling a little puzzled by that fact.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
Whatever I did, she just said that with a bright smile.

“Son, I am going.”
my father said
After a few days, my father, as always, was the father I remembered.
A little stubborn and blunt.
with affection
“Don’t worry too much about it.”
“Don’t worry, I’m thinking of that even if you don’t tell me.”
Well, what kind of person is my father to worry about?
It’s not even funny.
There is nothing in the world more fun than worrying about the great mage.
but.
“It is necessary to be wary of the actions of the great devil served by the devil who was involved in this Kelibos incident.”
“Did you mean that he would target our family?”
“There is no possibility. Well, I know your father isn’t the kind of person who would suffer from such a thing, but if it’s a devil, shouldn’t you be as careful as possible?”
The great devils may have been wary of our family since a long time ago.
If you think before the regression, the answer is simple.
Even after the complete collapse of our family, they flocked to our territory, investing excessive forces to somehow end it.
Moreover, if the Marquis Kellibos didn’t know his mother’s soul and the devil was involved in the process of robbing it.
‘It also means that they’ve been keeping an eye on our family since before that.’
I don’t know if it’s simply because we’re one of the Imperial Houses or if there’s some other reason.
The important thing is to be vigilant.
The remaining great devils are not easy to see.
Guys like Enoch are flawed in many ways, but… … .
‘For example, Belphegor.’
Or the fourth corps commander who was intervening in Kellibos’ affairs this time.
Either way, they are difficult to deal with if you decide to run into them.
“There is nothing wrong with being careful.”
At my words, my father’s eyes lit up.
He is the one who knows that I don’t give this kind of warning.
“Don’t mind.”
Father nodded.
Then, he reached out and put his hand on my head, and suddenly, he tousled it violently.
“Oh what!”
“I don’t think I’ve ever done that.”
“… … .”
Why the hell is this father acting like this all of a sudden?
‘… … It’s not bad though.’
My father laughed at my reaction and immediately left for the manor.
It was just like the first time you broke in.
what.
Anyway, another job has been completed, and now as planned… … .
[Beep!]
… … beep?
I turned my head slightly and looked over my shoulder to see Set standing stiffly staring at the sky.
A few strands of hair stand on end as if they were antennae, and the mouth is gaping blankly.
“… … What are you doing?”
[Michael just got the news from Yug!]
Set shouted.
“If Yug… … World tree?”
The great mother of nature I rescued from the remnants of a demon a few years ago.
World Tree Yggdrasil.
[I heard there’s a problem?]
Problem… … .
In an instant, the mood subsides.
If an existence the size of a world tree could say that there was a ‘problem’, there must be no small danger.
Maybe some pretty dangerous demons are involved.
“say it.”
[therefore… … .]
Set tilted his head.
[The elves have escaped!]
He said bullshit with a really serious expression.
