Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 235
The great mage who transcends by regression Chapter 235
It’s only a few years difference, but I’ve been curious about it from time to time.
What would the King of the Beast be like as a great king who carried out his martial arts without losing his people?
So I’ve been asking.
– How was I in the past?
As was customary, the Beast King stared blankly at the moon, holding a glass bottle of wine in his hand.
past.
It’s a sensitive topic for everyone.
But even knowing that, I asked him questions about the past.
It was because I wanted to understand each other more clearly as colleagues.
– There wasn’t much of a difference.
He smiled as if he had heard a stupid question.
– I did my duty and moved constantly for the sake of martial arts. Even if the things they carried were different, they were the same.
Of course, even if you say that, you cannot hide your true feelings.
He always had a habit of twirling the vial in his hand whenever he thought of something painful.
The vial turned slowly.
over and over again… … .
In the end, there wasn’t a single person who wasn’t suffering.
* * *
“Nice to meet you, Knights of the Precepts!”
The beast king greeted us with a hearty voice.
He came to the room casually and sat down in his seat.
Should I say that he really hates vanity?
“It’s the first time that so many knights came at once. Usually, Garam is barbaric and doesn’t step in!”
“Is that so?”
“okay. It seems that our martial arts are visible to the knights of the empire. It’s unfortunate.”
“Not everyone is like that.”
At my words, the Beast King opened his eyes wide and said as if he was surprised.
“Huh?”
“It’s just a few ruffians. It’s not very good to generalize from a few.”
People around me were watching that day as if they were very anxious.
It may be regarded as an excessively rude attitude towards the king of a country.
In particular, Yeon Mi-Ryeo feels strange even when she doesn’t run out of breath. It’s to the point of feeling pity for him to tremble next to him.
[…] … Are you okay with this? First of all, Lee Ja is the king of this country.]
‘It’s okay.’
I simply replied to Set’s words.
Other kings may no doubt express great displeasure at my attitude now.
But the beast king is different.
He rather likes this attitude. To be precise… … .
‘I like discourse.’
Dialogue between people with different perspectives on equal footing.
He regarded the knowledge gained along the way as valuable.
It was also thanks to his personality that the expedition, which originally consisted of people of various personalities, was able to continue without much fuss.
“Generalize it. Hmm, I’m sure I was being a little rude with my last comment. I will make you apologize.”
“no. In fact, it is also true that there are those among the knights who have such views. Those are definitely things that need to change.”
I spoke again.
“Wu is certainly important, but martial that is not followed by hyeop is meaningless.”
“Hoo… … .”
The beast king’s eyes lit up as if he was having fun.
It must have been quite interesting to hear a knight who suddenly came from outside talking about the word ‘wu’.
“Does the imperial knight know martial arts?”
“I know about culture.”
In fact, let alone a knight, even if it belongs to the empire, even that is ambiguous.
because what is good is good
At my words, the beast king smiled and set the vial on the floor.
“It’s great. There are not many people who seriously consider martial arts even in Garam.”
“I guess I was a bit interested in those things… … .”
“… … Hmm.”
The beast king looked at me with strange eyes.
Although he showed a likable attitude towards him, he was not vigilant.
On the surface, he is a simple-minded warrior, but in fact he is very smart and wise.
“Originally, I would like to discuss martial arts with you for a long time, but for now, we should get to the main topic.”
He refreshed the atmosphere and immediately turned his gaze toward Yeonmi-ryeo.
In an instant, the atmosphere changed.
If he had been an open-minded military man before then, should I say that he is like an adult with a complex look?
“Are you okay?”
“… … majesty.”
“There are no others here except your agents. I want to call you what I usually call you.”
At those words, Yeon Mi-ryeo’s shoulders trembled.
She spoke to the Beast King in a slightly wet voice.
“Uncle… … .”
“… … okay.”
The beast king nodded his head with a heavy expression. To change the atmosphere like this in an instant is a great thing.
Change the situation naturally without much awkwardness.
If he had lacked even a little bit, he might have wondered if he was insensitive to his friend’s misfortune.
“Your father, Surin, wasn’t a friend to go with like that. It would have had a more honorable and glorious end.”
back.
Yeon Mi-ryeo’s fist clenched into a fist.
I watched the conversation between the two without interrupting.
“I know why you came.”
“… … .”
“It’s a game that wants to settle the favor of the blood lion. It’s like the family was destroyed by him, so it’s natural for you.”
Looking at Yeon Mi-ryeo with a pitiful expression, Soo-wang sighed.
“… … Eun-won’s swamp is deep. Know. Isn’t it a tough loop that goes on endlessly?”
“Yes, as you said.”
“Even so, did you dare to sink yourself into that swamp? I won’t say it’s pointless. It’s just going to get tough. Anyway, the blood lion is my goal.”
“that… … .”
“In a way, it would be fair to say that Yeonga was drawn because she got caught up in my affairs. I intend to take responsibility for it. I will surely destroy the one who challenged me and offer it to your father.”
In an instant, the atmosphere around them fluctuated.
‘It’s still the same.’
I remembered about the Beast King before returning.
He was one of the few ‘completed soldiers’ in < Argo >.
Everyone grew up going through adversity somehow, but the beast king was a complete warrior himself from beginning to end.
of course.
At this point, the Beast King is already a skilled person who has reached the level of a Master.
It is rather strange that such an existence lacks confidence.
Isn’t that the case with all the Masters I’ve seen so far?
… … So does my father.
Anyway, I want this momentum to the point where my skin feels numb.
“I will act as your eunwon. I know the degree of inaction of the blood lion.”
After he said that, he looked in our direction and said with a wry smile.
“I have no intention of insulting you. However, it is a clear fact that the blood lions cannot be controlled with the power of the Lords.”
“Hmm… … .”
“Of course that doesn’t sound good. But about him… … .”
“There is one thing wrong.”
“… … hmm? What do you mean?”
“therefore.”
I looked straight at the Beast King and spoke of his ‘misunderstanding’.
“His Highness is also unreasonable.”
“what?”
As if to say something, the beast king tilted his head.
Apparently, he thought I had said the wrong thing.
“therefore.”
Then I must say for sure.
“Even your Highness cannot defeat a blood lion.”
That moment.
“Huh.”
“… … ?!”
Ryan and Eileen unknowingly put their hands on their waists.
The air has changed.
Centering on the Beast King sitting calmly in front of him… … .
“Can’t I win?”
He looked at me with eyes that seemed to contain no emotion.
“Let me convince you, knight.”
“… … .”
The spirit of a king born with the blood of a giraffe.
Beast Kings are basically quite benevolent, but… … .
“It should.”
It is different for martial arts.
Even more so at this time.
So, in these situations, it is necessary to go straight ahead.
“I can convince you.”
I told him with confidence.
“In the way of martial arts.”
Yes, there is nothing like this against this person.
* * *
“… … Hmm.”
The beast king was now in the sparring arena within the beast king’s palace.
Because the knight of the precepts, who had just said that he couldn’t defeat the blood lion, said he would ‘prove’ his words.
It wasn’t unpleasant.
– Your Highness is also unreasonable.
remember what he said
Surprisingly, I didn’t feel offended by his reckless remarks.
Strangely, that attitude suited the young man in front of him.
It’s funny.
I never thought I would feel that way for someone I met for the first time.
Yeah, I thought it was rather fun.
I’m happy with the attitude that has been provoking as if it were natural.
Still, the pressure was on because he wanted to make sure he was worthy.
The right to stand proud in front of the king himself.
“Did you say you would prove it?”
The Beast King asked while facing the knight who identified himself as ‘Kael’.
To be honest, as a ‘unmanned man’, that knight named Kael doesn’t look very good.
I don’t know if there are other ways, but I don’t think I have the muscles to overcome my fist… … .
But somehow it’s relaxing.
What on earth are you planning to show, so why are you maintaining such a relaxed attitude?
“To be honest, I don’t think you can stand my hand.”
“Is that so.”
“You don’t feel the proper inner workings. No, rather than an article in the first place… … .”
The beast king tilted his head.
“… … Aren’t you a wizard?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“By the way, a wizard asks for a match in our way? I must tell you in advance that duels are sacred to us. Once you start, I will have no mercy.”
I guess so.
Any beast king I know would definitely do that.
I nodded my head because I had already predicted it.
“This is what I hoped for.”
“… … Hmm.”
It looked like he was not sure, but the beast king took a stance anyway.
The other four will know if they’ve given up on it… … I was watching moderately with a look like that.
Rather, it’s a good thing to be flustered.
“Hey, Kael? am i really okay? Your Highness has almost reached the pinnacle as a soldier… … .”
“it’s okay.”
I calmed her down by saying that.
In the first place, I am a person whose motto is to never fight for quality. If the odds of winning were low, I wouldn’t have come forward in the first place.
I stood face to face with the water king when she calmed down moderately.
“First of all, I am a wizard. However, what I want to discuss here is martial arts, not magic. So I won’t use magic.”
“It’s a matter of course.”
“Yes, but… … .”
I paused for a while and said.
“To be honest, you might think that it’s a bit of a no-brainer for a warrior to do everything in his power against a wizard.”
“yes.”
“So let’s do this. It means that His Highness does not use internal energy. I will strengthen the body in moderation with strengthening magic.”
It seems that some kind of strengthening magic naturally intervened, but it doesn’t matter.
To be honest, even if you don’t use your inner strength, it’s no different from committing suicide to fight the Beast King naked.
“Huh, can you beat me with that?”
“That’s right.”
The beast king laughed at my words.
“Okay, if it’s physical strengthening for an equal confrontation with me, that much would be acceptable.”
“then… … .”
I quietly strengthened my body using magic. Strength-enhancing magic and Haste at a level comparable to that of the Beast King.
My body felt a little lighter.
“then… … .”
Soowang and I faced each other.
sorcerers and sorcerers.
A truly out of balance situation.
And at the point where someone took a stance without even starting… … .
Hoo-wook.
We both moved at the same time.
As promised, the Beast King does not use his inner energy at all. However, he is not the one who bet everything on martial arts for nothing.
He closed the distance in an instant and reached right in front of me.
The fist pulled back as far as it could go was fired at me with a menacing sound.
Originally, it cannot be avoided.
“It’s over.”
Even though it was a single blow, the beast king’s eyes shone brightly as if he was sure.
Yes, in the ‘normal case’, I certainly couldn’t escape the Beast King’s first blow, and my face was crushed.
but.
“… … hmm?”
The beast king’s fist passed my cheek just barely. Even though it didn’t touch properly, the place where the wind passed through was painful.
But I avoided it anyway.
At that moment, Yeon Mi-ryeo, who had closed her eyes tightly imagining my crushed face, widened her eyes.
“Did you avoid blood?”
It wasn’t just her who was agitated.
“Huh… … .”
The Beast King also looked at his own fist that was shaking the air with an expression of disbelief.
“What did you just do?”
“I just avoided it.”
“I don’t think what I just said can be explained that way.”
Despite my answer, he frowned as if he couldn’t understand.
As a warrior, the Beast King must have been sure that his attack would hit me directly.
His judgment was not wrong.
In fact, if it was a general case, it would have been natural to be like that.
“It doesn’t matter.”
The beast king quickly erased the agitation and moved again.
It can be done once.
That would be a judgment.
This time I felt a sharp wind right behind me.
If you approached it ‘sensibly’, it is a blow that you have no choice but to hit directly.
but.
‘As expected, this time from the back.’
This time too, I took a light step and avoided the Beast King’s attack.
thud!
The Beast King’s legs strike down the spot where I was just before.
Through the lightly rising dust, I see the beast king’s eyes looking at me in disbelief.
“This time too… … ?”
A look that I can’t understand.
yes you won’t understand
It is understandable that it is not understandable.
Because I didn’t avoid it by intuition.
If so, how did you avoid it?
what is
What are the advantages of regression?
It is the ability to know things that are not normally known.
‘Starting with the Beast King’s trivial habits, he learned all of the core martial arts from himself.’
yes the answer is simple
‘I memorized everything.’
Lack of intuition?
Let’s think about whether we don’t have enough brains to memorize our patterns.
