Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 229

The Grand Mage who transcends by regression Episode 229

“Ka Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

A burning pain all over the body.

Belphegor glared in the direction where the portal had just been with bloodshot red eyes.

He gasped for a while, then struggled to get himself up.

After a while, the wound naturally healed and the pain quickly subsided.

Breath was worth holding on to.

But the real problem isn’t the breath.

More important than that is his pride as the Great Devil.

A sense of shame that even a brave man was made fun of by a fucking human being without even using his side properly… … .

“Hero warrior warrior warrior… … !”

Grinding his teeth, he thinks of the guy who humiliated himself over and over again.

Blood dripped from between his clenched teeth.

can’t forgive

How dare a human… … .

like a human!

How can you humiliate yourself as a predator?

Whether it was Asmodeus or Belial, the reason they were all beaten by the hero was because they were less capable.

He laughed at Enoch, who returned after being mistreated by him, calling him an idiot.

But he himself became the sick person.

“Ah, damn, damn, damn! I am… … ! How can I, the lord of sloth… … !”

I can’t contain my anger

I want to release this anger by crushing and crushing as soon as possible.

When I was about to get up slowly while letting go of my anger.

“You didn’t follow Pandaemonium’s opinion.”

“… … !”

A cold voice reached my ears.

Belphegor reflexively turned his head to see an old man standing there.

Elder Avarithia.

He was glaring at Belphegor with cold eyes.

Belphegor looked surprised for a moment, but his expression soon returned.

“… … Heh, are you old?”

“What kind of ugliness is this? It wasn’t enough that you rushed at the hero regardless of your front and back and found out about your existence, so you’re getting beaten up like that.”

“K-ka-ha!”

At that, Belphegor chuckled.

“scene? heh heh no No way, the dragons will be resurrected in the hands of the hero, but did the old man intend to do anything?”

“… … .”

“Have you ever imagined what those hideous lizards could do if the dragons were fully resurrected? no i wouldn’t! If you did, you wouldn’t be looking at me with those eyes now!”

It wasn’t for nothing that he was called the guardian of the world a long time ago.

Dragons are noble creatures created specifically for the purpose of being guardians.

Right now, I haven’t properly regained my identity, but in the end it’s only a matter of time.

If they properly realize that they are dragons, their wings will cover the entire world.

And that’s how much Pandaemonium’s movable area is reduced.

“Besides, didn’t you say that you took action against the warrior’s family? I must have heard that you were planning to apply some meaningful pressure.”

Belphegor’s eyes flashed fiercely.

I couldn’t find the usual relaxed look.

“As a result, nothing happened! The hero moves according to my plan, but all we did was crouch like idiots!”

“… … .”

“Admit it, old man! Your plan failed! Aren’t you worried about the reaction the demon will show when he descends? If He ever sees us crouching down like cowards… … .”

“Shut up!”

Avarittia shouted in a furious voice.

A black aura rose like a haze around him.

He trembled and couldn’t properly control his anger.

“That abominable Walpurgis! How much history has been suffered by them! Even this time, the vicious family is being protected by the ‘Apostle’! What are you talking about!”

It wasn’t that Avaritti didn’t do anything.

He constantly looked for gaps to bring down Walpurgis.

The number of using their hostess was quite a secret number… … .

No matter how they were, he judged that he would not be able to easily respond to problems related to his blood and kin.

But even that didn’t work out.

I tried to infiltrate a demon under my command, but the ‘apostle’ made it futile… … .

The hero must have intervened.

There’s no way he didn’t notice that they were targeting my family.

At the point when three of the Great Demons were cut down, he clearly had the upper hand in the battle against them.

“You don’t have the right to speak so confidently at the point of breaking the agreement we decided on!”

“Ha then just watch as the situation gets worse?!”

A sharp battle of words went back and forth between the two great demons.

A war of nerves in which neither side intends to back down.

Of course, the result was obvious.

“Yeah, that’s it.”

“… … !”

At that moment, Belphegor felt that strong shackles were placed on him.

thud!

The bondage that wrapped around his soul brought him to his knees.

“Ouch… … !”

He glared at Avaritti with bloodshot eyes, but it didn’t mean much.

Avaritia is not a class with strong combat power.

But he had one weapon he dared not ignore.

That he has the ‘Voice of a Demon God’.

It is not possible to borrow or use the power of demons, but it is possible to grant compulsion to other great demons.

That’s why his decision exerts absolute influence within Pandaemonium.

Belphegor is a great devil with strong combat power by nature.

However, due to its impulsive nature, it is not suitable for leading a group.

So, before coming to this world, the Demon God gave her voice to Avaricia.

“You have to kill him… … !”

“Stop it, Belphegor.”

Avaritti glared at Belphegor, who was about to shout something, with cold eyes.

He has no intention of changing his decision.

It was Belphegor’s side who crossed the line from his point of view in the first place.

“Old man!”

cried Belphegor.

But there is no room for compromise anymore.

Avaritia decided, declared, and that was enough.

he clicked his tongue

“This is for you too. At this rate, you will go wild and destroy yourself.”

“No, this is the only chance! If you miss now, there will be no more opportunities… … !”

“It’s not like I don’t have a plan in mind. But that ‘plan’ doesn’t include your impulsiveness.”

impulsiveness.

That is what Avaritia is most wary of.

“Aaaaagh!”

The portal activates, and Belphegor, unable to resist Avaritia’s voice, is sucked into the portal.

And it’s gone.

In the empty space, Avaritia frowned with her hands behind her back.

“… … Walpurgis.”

The anxiety gradually deepens.

The red eyes shook strangely.

Belphegor’s ‘impulsiveness’ is definitely controlled.

But apart from that, what he said is right.

I don’t know how the hero got the information about the tomb so quickly and easily passed the ordeal… … .

The important thing is that you shouldn’t try to understand the hero any longer.

“I’ll have to turn my eyes the other way.”

Anyway, there is no need to clear the warriors before the Demon God descends.

No matter how good a hero is, his eyes cannot reach all parts of the world.

You will have to fill that gap.

In this world, there are a lot of different races unknown to the world.

for example.

‘Suman.’

A bizarre heterogeneous race between beasts and humans.

Those who are halfway between barbarism and civilization would be great sacrifices.

Among them, the Beast King would be a remarkable sacrifice.

“haha.”

They will never be taken away.

Her determined eyes flashed in the darkness.

* * *

“Mmm, a dragon… … .”

“Even though they decided to atone, this rehabilitation isn’t easy either.”

After kicking out Belphegor, the dragons were talking to each other with confused expressions.

It’s good that you decided to face the sin.

It’s so good so far… … .

The problem is this ‘rehabilitation’.

Strictly speaking, a great amount of time had passed since they had not lived as dragons.

It will take more effort than you think to catch up with that gap.

We shouldn’t simply think of rehabilitation on the level we think.

Because this is literally a rehabilitation that is directly related to the soul.

But what… … .

“I will take care of it.”

In the first place, the high-level race called the world’s guardian doesn’t go anywhere, and if left like that, the dragon awakens on its own.

I haven’t seen it myself, but it’s written like that in the record, so it won’t go well.

There is also a great guide called Apophis.

[It’s late, but where is this anyway?]

Set said while looking at the dragons diligently conversing.

[Even if it’s late, there’s always a chance if you want to act right.]

“That’s right.”

It is sure to be a sufficient opportunity for both them and mankind.

A chance to atone for dragons.

A chance for mankind to fight against demons.

Needless to say, both are so precious that one cannot miss them.

“Because there is a chance. Don’t worry too much about it.”

[Yes? What are you talking about?]

“It’s just nonsense.”

It’s just passing words that don’t need to be inscribed.

At my words, Set looked at me with complicated eyes.

[…] … It’s nonsense.]

Soon after, he muttered that.

A complex voice that seemed both relieved and despondent.

… … Well, that’s enough of the story.

There is no reason to draw a boring topic.

“Then let’s go see Apophis.”

Yes, the ordeal passed wonderfully.

Now is the time to be rewarded.

* * *

Heading to the cave where Apophis is, I couldn’t help but be a little taken aback.

“… … hmm?”

Because the atmosphere around them was completely different.

“It has never been so peaceful.”

Just before, this place was a completely dark forest.

First of all, there were a lot of places that were exceptionally shaded, so the surroundings were dark.

Without the shaman who was a guide, it would be difficult to find the right way.

But now it’s different.

Grass and trees full of life.

Beams of light naturally shined between the branches, and the blue sky and the brilliant sun were floating over the forest.

And there must have been nothing particularly special about it, and the only thing that existed would have been a huge cave.

“… … Temple?”

What you see now is the site of a huge temple.

Even after all those years, it boasts of its soundness to the extent that no trace can be seen.

when did this happen

The surrounding pools were also kept clean. The inside of the temple was also neat as if it were managed every day.

By the time I looked around like that.

“You’re welcome.”

“… … hmm?”

I raised my head quietly at the voice in my ear.

Then, when I listened to the voice… … .

“Hoo.”

Before we knew it, we were inside the temple.

Steaming tea is prepared on the table in front of you.

And there was a man in front of him.

Somewhat docile impression.

It’s similar to me, but the blonde hair with a brighter light is impressive. I knew right away what it was.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen you like this, Miss Apophis.”

“You know right away, too.”

The man, Apophis, smiled as if he had expected it and offered a seat.

As soon as I sat down, he started talking.

“First of all, I should say thank you. Aside from the ordeal, you saved us in the best possible way.”

“Are you a warrior?”

“Simple. Do you like it.”

Apophis let out a bitter laugh.

“You know, it will take some time. The clan is definitely a dragon, but it won’t be easy to get yourself back.”

“it’s okay.”

I wouldn’t know if it wasn’t for Apophis.

As long as he was there, there was no need to worry about the remaining dragons.

So, that’s not what’s important.

“Rather than that, let’s jump right into the reward story.”

I decided to go straight to the point. In the first place, there is no need for a routine thanks.

The important thing is the reward!

Of course, it’s best if you can get a little more on top of that.

At my words, Apophis looked at me with a puzzled expression and said,

“… … Are you passing right away?”

“Aren’t you going to do your best to help the dragons rehabilitate?”

“I guess… … ?”

“That’s it.”

A little more than that… … Should I say it’s like the instruction of the principal of the academy?

Somehow yes

It’s a good word, but isn’t there something you don’t want to hear?

“… … Uhm, that’s right. I don’t need it.”

I prepared… … .

For some reason, Apophis nodded with a sullen expression.

[It’s too much, really.]

Set said, glaring at me with bitter eyes.

[He must have practiced that word thousands of times while he was trapped in the cave.]

“… … .”

[What if I just skip that?]

I looked sullenly at Apophis, who had rapidly shrunk.

“… … hmm.”

Somehow I felt like I was wrong.
