Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 259
The great mage who transcends by regression, episode 259
Crochen was having the best day ever.
What an opportunity for your own kingdom sale to become a military powerhouse!
So far, Avarittia had never lied to herself.
His words always came true.
The problem with the demons was solved in an instant if he did what he said, and the economic problem was the same!
The Avaritia Chamber of Commerce made the kingdom rich and made a huge amount of money for the palace.
it was the best!
While listening to Avaritia, he seemed to have become a great monarch.
I feel like I’ve become that great father figure… … .
So generously supported.
He gave Avaritia all the rights he wanted and allowed him to build the building he wanted without hesitation.
There were no problems.
Yes, Avaritia must be a treasure bestowed by God for her brilliant future!
“Hahaha! yes good good!”
He drank, imagining the immense power that Avaritia would give him.
yes soon
Soon, like his father, he will make his name in history as a great monarch… … !
thud.
“… … huh?”
Scary to think of such a thought, I felt a shallow vibration under my feet.
He frowned.
What the hell is going on.
What on earth do the lower ones do to feel this kind of vibration?
There’s no way someone will attack your palace… … .
but.
Wow!
As if mocking his thoughts, the wall in front of him exploded, filling the surroundings with thick dust.
“… … ?!”
Krozen opened his eyes.
Who are you? What kind of guy did this to this sacred palace… … !
“The security is pretty lax, Your Highness.”
“Who are you! What kind of guy dares… … !”
“What kind of guy is he?”
Through the dust, someone appeared and said.
The cold, deep red eyes shone as if they would pierce him at any moment.
“He’s a bit of a pity for you since he came here.”
“… … !”
He spoke in a voice that did not contain any warmth.
“Let’s call it a warrior.”
* * *
I don’t like solving all problems with violence.
The owner of a peaceful temperament.
Fists alone cannot solve everything.
The world doesn’t turn that simple and ignorant.
yes that is correct
Especially since I’m not a warrior.
Being a hero is a law that has to put a line in a certain way.
“hmm.”
Lian crossed his arms and looked at the king with eyes full of determination.
“… … Is this correct?”
“Rian In this world, there are so many interests intertwined, and many definitions are bound to collide. Nothing is necessarily right and nothing is necessarily wrong. in the world… … .”
“No, is it right to destroy the royal castle and go inside?”
Lian looked at me with an expression of looking at someone who is lacking in something and said.
“Looking at it, you don’t look like a hero, but rather an evil rebel trying to overthrow the country.”
“hmm.”
I quietly looked around.
Along with the half-devastated interior, all the spear points were pointed at us.
The knights and soldiers who were trembling but were trying their best to keep an eye on us.
And at the end of it, we saw King Krochen glaring at us with his eyes wide open.
To be honest, I don’t even want to add the word ‘King’, but whatever.
“Hello, Your Highness the King.”
“How dare you say this place!”
Glaring at me with red bloodshot eyes, King Crochen shouted.
“Aren’t you ashamed of being a warrior! How dare you destroy my palace and intimidate me like this!”
“It’s scary… … .”
I smiled and waved my hand leisurely.
At first glance, it looked like a meaningless hand gesture, but… … .
“Uh huh?!”
“My body… … !”
With that alone, the surrounding mana reacted and lightly pushed back the soldiers and knights.
If the real kingdom’s troops were the opponent, I wouldn’t have been pushed out like this… … .
what i don’t know
“… … what are you doing! Stop! Stop that intruder!”
Crochen shouted at the soldiers and knights who were pushed out with an expression that he could not understand.
But they couldn’t push the wall of mana I improvised.
There’s probably a reason why I’m the Great Mage of the 8th Circle, but… … .
‘Too low level.’
… … Was the level of the country originally called Sale like this?
no it won’t be
The national power of the kingdom of Seil, which I had heard of as a child, was not like this.
It wasn’t as good as the Empire, but it was well-received among the kingdoms.
“under.”
what. I came here with the intention of blowing it lightly, so why are you angry?
No, I know why.
I’ve hated people who uselessly waste the present like this since before.
Didn’t you know that Avarittia was a demon?
It could be.
He could have been swayed by the words of a guy disguised as a human.
yes it could be
“your majesty.”
“Big, big… … ?!”
If you weren’t the king
Crushed by the momentum, Crochen raised his head trembling.
Contempt welled up in the depths of his heart.
A body that has not been trained to the minimum, two eyes that are blurred due to cinnamon catching, and… … .
“What is this like?”
The devil’s mark visible through the buried flesh.
The cursed mark that Avaritia must have left was spraying a bright red light like blood.
“Aren’t you ashamed to bear this stigma as a monarch?”
“I stigmatized?! under! This is a stigma! Hero, you don’t know anything!”
At my words, Crozen shouted with a forceful expression.
“This is the ‘Guardian’ that the teacher who taught me delivered! Protect me from demons and evil… … !”
“You’re so fucking hard.”
I said that and simply wiggled my fingers.
At that moment, formless power was condensed right above Crochen… … .
Quaang!
“Cheer cuckoo!”
I fell straight down and crushed him.
“What on earth was lacking so that you were seduced by the words of such things? Aren’t you ashamed of your father, who was a good man?”
“Everyone shut up! What qualifications do you have for my father… … !”
“Sales.”
Kwajik!
“Aaaagh!”
The force pressing on Crochen’s shoulders grew stronger.
It screamed in pain, but I didn’t care.
“It wasn’t a country that would be ruined like this, Your Highness. That’s how much your father accomplished.”
It was the competent lords who were in charge of the estate.
Not all were outstanding, but at least they were made up of those who knew their part.
The kingship was declared.
But it was not simply an authority established by force and violence.
The lords feared the king.
That respect was what made Seil the previous generation.
Of course I didn’t live in that era.
I have never seen Seil so prosperous, and of course, the previous king, who was said to be a sage, does not know directly.
“Don’t you know why I’m here right now? I mean, no matter how brave you are, you don’t know why foreigners invaded the palace and threatened you.”
“What… … .”
“I kicked out the servants who did not spare you advice. All that was left were the vassals who were talking to you about things that were not meant to be.”
This is the result of filling the surroundings with idiots who are good at cursing themselves without any skills or anything.
I didn’t feel any difficulties in the process of getting here.
The knights were in disarray and the soldiers were busy running away from me.
furthermore.
Kwajik!
Right behind the throne Crochen was sitting on, he trembled and thrust the spear of light down at the thing that was hiding.
“Quaaaaaagh!”
With a desperate scream, someone was dragged out of the window.
“La Lang… … !”
Crochen screamed.
“What about my knight… … .”
“If you have two eyes, let’s look straight ahead. What is the true identity of the guy you talk so cheaply about?”
“… … ah.”
The appearance of the knight pierced by the holy spear began to change in an instant.
The pretty face collapsed hideously, revealing bright red skin.
Wings and elongated tail.
“Oh demon… … ?”
Crochen confirms the identity of his knight with an expression of disbelief.
Rather, the arrogance rose to that stupid expression, so I slapped him on the cheek with a staff member.
Fuck!
“Cuck!”
“Just go to sleep.”
After staring at Crochen for a while, I pressed my aching forehead.
‘They took it very seriously and smashed it.’
It seems that the effort Avaritia put into the sale was more than I expected.
Crochen is in a state of ruin beyond imagination.
I’ve already judged him almost impossible to resuscitate.
“Mikhail.”
At that moment, Ariandel came towards me, dragging his demon-stained disposition.
“Once all the demons in the palace have been purified. I kept a few alive to interrogate them properly, but they all took their own lives before that… … .”
“it’s okay. It never occurred to me that I could extract information from them right away.”
There’s no way Avaritia would have placed such lax guys here.
First of all, this is the core of the sale.
Then Rian asked.
“But shouldn’t we stop that great demon called Avaritia right now?”
“That’s right. But that damn guy… … .”
I stomped on the demon’s head, which was somehow trying to crawl away from me while impaled by a holy spear.
Kwajik!
『Kuhhh… … !”
“… … It seems like he’s been wasting his time and prepared some traps.”
“… … hmm?”
I saw a panoramic view of the capital unfolding outside the half-collapsed palace.
“Do you remember the buildings of Avaritia Company that we saw while coming here?”
“Oh, it was definitely dirty.”
More than half the capital was occupied with those damn buildings.
At first, I thought Avaritti was doing it simply to seize the commercial power of Sale, but… … .
‘Because it can’t be that simple.’
Checking in the palace like this seems a bit blatant.
“They, no, this capital itself is a trap prepared by Avaritia.”
“That word… … .”
At my words, the butler’s eyes lit up.
“Does that mean the Great Devil drew random magic circles through the buildings?”
“That’s it.”
He was expecting me to come here.
And he must have been aware of the fact that he could stop his plan at any time.
That’s why I prepared this.
“I don’t know, but if that jinx is triggered, all the people of Seil will die horribly.”
It is a Jin prepared only for killing.
Looking at it like that, I can understand why he was so confident.
He’s asking me as a ‘hero’.
Giving up the innocent lives of the capital city, what can I do?
“… … It means that you intend to hold the entire capital hostage and keep us on our feet until the ceremony is over.”
“yes.”
No matter what I do to attack the royal palace and Crochen, the ‘magic circle’ in this capital will not disappear.
He has been diligently remodeling the capital in his own way for that one thing in the first place.
“Forcing a choice between stopping the Great Devil’s plan or innocent lives in this capital… … .”
The butler said with a dark expression.
“Certainly this… … I don’t think it will be easy.”
“yes.”
It’s not as easy as the butler said.
The people of the capital would still go about their daily lives without knowing anything.
“Right now, with my knowledge, there is no way to deal with that at once. It’s unfortunate.”
Herma said to me with a bitter expression.
If even a sage can’t think of another way, it’s certainly not easy.
“What would you like to do?”
Herma looked at me quietly.
“I think this is the moment you, the warrior, have to choose. I can’t say which one is right or wrong because I’m in the position of writing the record after all.”
either way.
To choose one, you must discard the other.
A cruel choice like Avaritia.
Before the return, we used to be swayed countless times by this damn ‘option’ he presented.
So you know.
No matter what option he suggests, it can’t be the right solution… … .
so that.
“Why should I choose?”
“… … yes?”
Looking at Herma, who was staring at me with her eyes wide open, I continued.
“You don’t have to go in there, do you? Then, whichever of the two you choose, it’s like he wins.”
“but… … .”
that you have no choice
With those words in mind, Herma looked at me.
Of course, if I really saw this situation for the first time, I might have been forced to choose one.
He may have chosen the lesser evil while holding back bloody tears like before returning.
But you don’t know Avaritti.
What I saw and experienced in the future that has now disappeared… … .
yes you this way
I’m used to it because I used it until I got tired of it before returning, bastard.
