Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 254
The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 254
A bloody aura.
Shall we say that it looks like an image of evil?
The skull-shaped aura looked at me and said again.
– Power… … .
“crazy.”
It looked ominous at first glance, so he slammed the staff on the floor.
Set must have been summoned to the round table. Right now, there is no one to stop me.
Fuck!
“No, when the hell!”
– Hee strength… … .
Pooh!
“An evil spirit!”
– A Unlimited… … .
Whatever you say, it doesn’t matter
There’s no way something so ominous would come out of my sacred staff.
“It’s stuck!”
– Hey power… … .
The voice still came out, so I enthusiastically tapped the staff.
Okay.
The staff made from the world tree is holy and won’t break.
It’s a staff that can lightly block sharp swords, but how could it be broken with something like this?
Besides, things that are originally broken need to be beaten before they can be heard.
– … … Stop that.
Fuck!
– Wait a minute… … .
Pooh!
– Offer blood blood… … .
Whoops!
don’t give a gap
I never see an ominous presence on my sacred staff.
I must expel the evil spirits that have been arbitrarily attached to my staff!
When you’ve been beating for so long.
“Um, warrior?”
“I’m sorry, but I’m busy expelling the evil spirits from the staff… … !”
“This is a spirit.”
“… … .”
At that, I stopped working for a while and looked at the staff.
– That spirit… … right… … .
Trembling, the enigmatic figure said so.
I focused and looked at the enigmatic figure.
A crimson skull head that seemed to be made of bright red blood.
‘no.’
you’re just a demon
what spirit is this
At first glance, it looks like it will grow while drinking the blood of innocent people.
– Oh Dad… … .
“No fuck!”
Who’s the daddy who!
I sighed and slammed the staff back to the ground.
No, it’s like I like blood!
stop it stop it!
No matter how you think about it, this isn’t an existence that will come from a staff born from the sacred World Tree!
“Wherever you look at this, is it a spirit!”
It’s just an evil spirit!
“It is a naturally occurring spirit.”
“… … .”
Herma said firmly.
“It’s not just a simple spirit, it’s a spirit born from the hero. Yes, I mean the ‘Spirit of the Trajectory’ that is created following the footsteps of a hero.”
… … trajectory? this?
Does this bloody skull head shape my trajectory?
“Um, it won’t be. I’ve been adhering to the sacred and peaceful way as a warrior… … .”
– Violence made me.
said the Bloody Skeleton Head.
– No need to be ashamed. Abi’s violence is truly an art… … .
“… … .”
I quietly looked at the distant sky.
clear. It couldn’t be clearer than this.
“Ah, I never thought I would see the spirit of the traces being born… … ! This is a historic moment, warrior! You can be proud of it!”
“I don’t think it’s anything to be proud of.”
“No, something to brag about! The fact that the spirit of the trace was born means that the world acknowledged the hero’s ‘trajectory’! Even if you look at the countless history, this is a truly rare feat!”
“Ah yes.”
Good word. It’s definitely a good word, but why aren’t you happy?
I glanced at the skeleton head, and immediately began to speak the line the skeleton head had decided.
– strength… … do you need
“Is there any other lines besides that?”
– This is all I have prepared… … .
At my words, the spirit’s expression became sullen.
– But isn’t the father too ruthless towards his just-born son?
who is your father So something makes me look like garbage.
– Anyway… … the contract was made by nature… … I was born under the premise of a contract with my master… … .
“… … .”
– I ask for more violence in the future. Overwhelming power the best… … .
“no.”
– Keck.
I held the head of the spirit that was about to disappear after saying my words.
“What can I do? If I just say you and disappear, that’s it.”
Still, if it’s a spirit enough that my ‘trajectory’ has been shaped,
I’m sure… … give me strength… … .
“If it’s strength.”
– Chaos destruction oblivion… … .
“So what is it?”
At my words, the spirit tilted its head for a moment before speaking.
– Simply put.
grow up
It grinned.
The smiling face of the skeleton head even made me feel eerie.
and after a while
– Gives you the power to devour demons.
‘I can’t believe this.’
Realized.
Why did this guy appear in front of me now?
‘It’s gluttony.’
yes gluttony.
This spirit must have been affected by the new authority ‘Gourt’ that was obtained this time.
* * *
The day we leave < The Hill of Books >.
Not only us, but also Herma had to leave her dear hometown.
As I said earlier, it was to ‘record’ future events.
“Thank you for allowing me to accompany you like this, warrior.”
He bowed his head politely and smiled across his youthful face.
“The warrior’s ‘record’ must have a great meaning. To be sure, I will record all of you.”
“Ummm yes.”
Can you think of it as a kind of official?
The existence that will record my every move in the future… … .
what. It’s kind of scary.
“Hehe, I didn’t expect to be accompanied by the wise man.”
The butler looked at Herma in surprise and said,
He has been associated with Herma since he was young.
It’s probably a pretty subtle feeling.
“I didn’t even know at first.”
“but.”
The butler nodded, saying he understood. Then, after glancing over Herma’s skinny body, she said,
“Hmm, you’re dry.”
“Anyway, since I’ve been doing research for a long time… … .”
“That shouldn’t be the case. A healthy mind resides in a healthy body. The wise man is also with me… … .”
Even a faint madness could be seen in the butler’s eyes as he said that.
“How about 1 set of strength training?”
untrained body.
Until now, there was no one in our party who had an ‘untrained body’.
A state where even Ariandel has trained her body to the point of being foreign to a saint… … .
But Herma is different.
He has just been liberated from evil, and his body is extremely immature.
A body full of possibilities.
But that was then.
“… … Sage?”
“Write a record… … .”
Herma wrote something.
“Merdin recommended unreasonable strength training to teenagers who had not yet reached their growth stage… … .”
“Oh no… … isn’t it? Oh no, that’s right, but something… … .”
“Are you stabbed… … I said no, but it is true that I recommended excessive strength training… … .”
“… … .”
The butler’s momentum rapidly declined.
Well, it’s not right to force excessive strength training on teenagers who haven’t passed the growth phase.
“… … Excuse me.”
“hmm.”
Herma easily rejects the butler’s invitation.
Taking a peek, even at this moment, the butler’s rapidly shrinking reaction was recorded.
“So Mikhail.”
Ariandel asked me.
“What are you going to do now? As I remember, now the really scheduled descent of the Demon God… … .”
“Yes, it really isn’t long.”
I’d say barely a few months left.
Of course, the remaining great devils will move carefully and try to achieve results somehow.
Their god who will soon descend.
You will need to prove your usefulness to that being.
Fortunately, unlike before the return, many situations are smiling at us.
Garam and Gyoguk.
In addition, the Empire is still functioning normally at this point.
Its prestige remains the same, without falling or collapsing like it did before the return.
“The important thing now is ‘how’ the Demon God will descend.”
“… … How do you mean?”
“yes.”
Even before the return, information about how the demon descended was unclear.
The first time the existence of a demon was witnessed was the destruction of Tzelen, whose position was firmly established as a neutral country.
The demon destroyed Tzelen at the same time as it descended, revealing its presence to mankind.
A truly devastating first sighting.
But was that the beginning of the demon god’s descent into this ‘world’?
‘No, no.’
There are many possibilities, but it is highly likely that this was not the beginning of the Demon God.
“Some of the demons descended due to the rituals of the surviving great demons.”
“It could be. Maybe it just shows up suddenly, without a sign, like a natural phenomenon.”
“Not sure… … I mean no.”
“That’s right. but… … .”
Everything is just a part of ‘possibility’, nothing is certain at this point.
“You can’t stop doing something just because you’re not sure.”
“That’s right.”
Lian nodded.
Eileen also said with her eyes shining.
“First of all, it sounds like you have a plan to bring up this story now.”
“Once there is.”
Before returning, I had investigated the traces of demons.
Of course, most of the things that were sold out and traces evaporated, so I couldn’t find it… … .
‘The only eyewitness story.’
There is one place worth visiting.
Especially now that four of the seven great demons have been killed.
It is… … .
“The land where demon gods were defeated in the past.”
“… … !”
Everyone’s eyes widened at those words.
Of course. I said it lightly, but it’s never a light thing.
“… … The land where the Demon God was defeated?”
“It’s not like the demon was kicked out of the world for nothing. It couldn’t have been voluntarily, so of course they were forced out.”
The devil was defeated.
As he was defeated, the blood he shed was scattered on the ground, and it is said that something bloomed in the land.
Of course, the reliability is not high.
Even before the return, all that was there was a record.
And the problem is that even the contents of the ‘record’ are ambiguous.
But who am I?
I have been constantly trying to interpret the record and have been somewhat successful in interpreting it.
I don’t know if I’m going to play a fool.
“It’s well worth investigating.”
“Hmm… … So, where is the land that the demon is said to have defeated?”
“It seems like a lot of people know.”
I gave a simple answer to Ryan’s question.
“Pylorum, the capital of Sale.”
“Um wait… … .”
Ryan looked at me and asked.
“If it’s Seil, isn’t it the kingdom where the tyrant ‘Crochen’ is located?”
“yes.”
“The fact that all sorts of injustices and ills are prevalent in the open market… … .”
“that’s right.”
sale kingdom.
It was a country that was once prosperous under the rule of a wise king, but everything changed with the accession of an army… … .
Fallen Wisdom Crochen.
Others mocked the king for destroying a kingdom that was well maintained by itself.
Of course I did too.
… … It is true that even before the return, the feelings towards the tyrant Crochen were not good at all.
“First of all, going to this place isn’t just because it’s a land that must have been related to demons.”
“Are there other reasons?”
Ariandel tilted his head.
“Yes that’s right.”
Until now, I hadn’t thought about going there because I wasn’t properly ‘prepared’.
Do you think it has been pushed out of priority?
But not now.
The four great demons were finished, and a lot of sacred objects were also secured.
Now, preparations to head to the abyss called ‘sale’ are finished.
“There is a great devil.”
yes there is a devil
Perhaps the Great Devil who served as the brain of Pandaemonium until now.
And maybe… … .
“That great devil must be the cause of the destruction of Seil’s tyrant, ‘Crochen’.”
Yes, even if there is no sign of the demon, as long as he exists.
It can be said that it is worth going to Seil now.
