Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 272

The Grand Mage who transcends by returning Chapter 272

I guessed to some extent that the last years of the existence of Solomon would not have been so bright.

He would have lived an infinitely long time.

Her life as a great mage of the 9th circle of the Empire would be nothing more than a fragment of those years.

He has repeatedly despaired endlessly and then stood up again.

No matter how strong your mental power is, you can’t last forever.

Especially if the burden on your back is so heavy that it is indescribable.

“From the moment I peeped into the memory of the ancestor, I could see some nervousness, but it seems that he was quite despaired.”

“You damn son of a bitch.”

At least, the ‘Solomon’ I saw through Remegeton’s memory was not like this.

Even though he was nervous, he still had the dignity of a progenitor and I could feel his conviction.

But for him now… … .

‘I can only feel the mess.’

It feels like the means and purpose have been reversed.

Of course, it is not an existence that can never be ignored, but what should I say?

This… … .

“Yes, I was devastated and twisted.”

Solomon meekly admitted.

A blank, malevolent smile hung from the corner of his mouth.

“What did you think when you first saw me? Did you ever think that the appearance of the Great Progenitor was nonsense?”

“I will not deny it.”

“What is it? I bet If the me of the past had seen the me now, I would have said the same thing.”

He frowned.

“I mean, it’s gotten pretty low.”

“… … .”

A statement stained with a deep sense of self-doubt.

He leaned on his cane and struggled into his chair.

I recalled information about ‘Solomon’ in my head.

An existence that was treated specially by the Demon God and still retains its clear presence even after many years have passed.

He was the founder of the family and for ‘some reason’ betrayed his creator and helped Asar.

< Longinus > was the weapon that came out of that process.

‘Considering that, it’s definitely hard to compare with me.’

No matter how much I have experienced regression and have shown results so far, the ark of Sijo is different.

Because he had already made a weapon called < Longinus > and actually wounded the demon’s body.

“Could I ask you just one question?”

“try. That’s what you came for.”

“Is the 9th circle correct?”

“her.”

At my words, Solomon’s eyes widened.

He looked at me for a moment as if he was interested, then… … .

“Well, you have the right to say that. Actually nine… … Hmm, that’s weird. Eight are visible, but nine are hidden.”

“Isn’t that possible?”

“I can’t do that, so I’m not saying this.”

Solomon clicked his tongue and looked me around, then said.

“Well, I was hoping for something like this to come out, so I’m not going to be surprised.”

“Does that mean the founder intended my birth?”

“No way.”

Solomon laughed.

“If such a convenient thing was possible, I would not have had such a twisted personality. No matter how much I say, the impossible is the impossible.”

“… … Hmm.”

“I just wished. I believe in the slightest possibility that will be manifested in my blood. If the price is continuously passed on, perhaps an existence that will be closer to my ‘secret wish’ will be born.”

I couldn’t be sure.

And that fact made even the great being Solomon eat moths.

He grumbled and expressed his thoughts.

“Whatever… … .”

Solomon simply snapped his fingers.

Then, before we knew it, we were in a familiar library.

family note.

“I think you have a lot of questions about me, descendant. The apostles probably couldn’t tell you the details because of that bastard’s restrictions.”

“Does that mean that the founder can tell you everything?”

“At least there are more of them.”

A pretty bad smile hung on Solomon’s lips as he said that.

“Of course, I can’t tell you everything because I’m not myself, just an incomplete ‘thought’.”

“… … Hmm.”

“Now look.”

He stretched out his hand into the air.

Then some books were pulled from the library and flowed into his hands.

The title of the book is… … .

– Trait change

– Trait reversal

– Top genetics

These are things I’ve seen once.

“Isn’t that a familiar title?”

“… … okay.”

The titles seen in the memory of peeping through Remegeton.

Solomon said with a smile.

“It was something I was obsessed with and studied. It’s not strange. I was disillusioned with the very blood that flows in me. Descendants, do you know what kind of existence I am?”

“I know that you are born similar to demons. Of course, I predict that it will not be ‘on the same line’ as them.”

“You guessed it to some degree.”

Some extent.

That means it’s not entirely correct.

Then, what is the real truth Solomon thought?

I thought for a moment about the three books he just showed me.

transformation and separation of existence.

This is a topic often discussed in conferences.

I wondered if things like innate lifespan or mana affinity could be obtained artificially.

It’s a little different, but ‘Twilight’, which I’m a part of right now, was also a group that started with that kind of wish… … .

However, if Solomon’s study is different from those things… … .

“Sacred. As expected, the scale of the founder is large.”

divinity.

It is that he was dealing with the nature of a god.

Content that would not be strange to be outraged by blasphemy if you saw it in the church.

“There is no way that the ancestor would have studied something like this without grounds, so this is… … .”

“Why do you spin around so much, but the conclusion is obvious anyway.”

Solomon snorted.

“What you just remembered is correct.”

“… … .”

“I, Solomon… … .”

he continued.

Calmly.

“It is a half-god artificially created by a demon god.”

at the same time.

Walpurgis is said to be a family where the blood of such a ‘demon god’ flows.

He finally revealed the truth.

* * *

The demon wanted offspring.

I don’t know why he decided to make it and became obsessed with it.

There is no way I can fully understand his thoughts unless I know the exact circumstances in the first place.

Solomon did not go into detail about it.

Did he say that the information he knew, which was only a thought in the first place, was limited from the beginning?

but.

‘… … The demon’s blood flows.’

That fact weighed heavily on my chest.

In other words, it means that the existence of Walpurgis itself is in contact with the ‘certain purpose’ he wanted.

If you didn’t expect anything… … That’s a lie.

In the first place, there were too many strange things to define me as a simple human being.

It’s just that the blood flowing through me is not just a demon, but that demon is involved… … .

“Then why did you oppose the Demon God? Even if it’s artificial, you could say that demon gods are your parents.”

“Did you feel anything great when you met the devil? I felt grace.”

“Could it be?”

“I was just the same.”

He said with a snort.

“In the first place, they had neither awareness nor affection as parents. It’s just that you took a part of yourself and made me.”

“… … Hmm.”

“And on top of that, that day… … um no Doesn’t ‘real’ remind you of this?”

Solomon let out a small sigh and continued.

“Anyway, the important thing is that I inherited at least some of the demon’s blood, and that will flow to you as well. And at the same time… … .”

he pointed at me

“Anyway, the ‘possibility’ I expected from you appeared.”

“… … .”

“Didn’t you feel something strange? You yourself are too good to be human. or.”

he continued.

“Or the impossible has been realized.”

“… … .”

At that moment, it was only natural that the word ‘return’ came to mind.

Even Hekau didn’t recognize that I had gone back in time.

“It’s not that I don’t have any guesses, to be honest.”

“What would it be? The fact that you came all the way to me in the first place is proof of that.”

he let out a bitter laugh.

“If it weren’t for that, Remegeton wouldn’t have acknowledged your existence.”

“… … .”

Does that mean that all of this was possible because I had the blood of a god I drank?

I thought about that possibility for a while.

But then.

“Just in case, you are different from me. That’s for sure.”

“… … Different?”

“okay. If you were simply a being like me, a being who only had the same potential as me, then I wouldn’t have spoken this way or pinned my hopes on you.”

After saying that, he tilted his head for a moment and then said.

“No, no. ‘Different’ is not enough. A more accurate expression would be… … .”

he spoke again.

“You are better than me.”

There was a deep conviction in those words.

He looked straight at me and continued.

“I was artificially created. It could be said that it is an existence that is purely ‘born’ and intertwined with the Demon God. But what about you?”

“that… … .”

“It must be true that the shallow demon god’s blood flowing through you became the trigger. But is that really all there is?”

At those words, I remembered.

days before regression.

That moment until I reached the miracle of ‘regression’.

yes i admit it

Walpurgis said that the reason why I was gifted with outstanding talents was not without the influence of ‘demon blood’.

But 10 circles.

How about 10 circles?

i know

The 10th circle is not simply a level where blood can reach.

The moment I thought about it.

“Sir.”

“Speak.”

“The Demon God created you as a ‘half-god,’ but there was no possibility of reaching him.”

“It did.”

At that, I looked straight at him and asked again.

“If that’s the case, of course I wouldn’t have been able to use anything about the ‘authority’ that is exclusive to the gods.”

“That is also right.”

“under.”

The moment Shijo answered like that, I couldn’t hide the laughter that leaked out of my mouth.

The memory of that time is clear.

The pleasure of finally pioneering the realm of ‘one’s own’ in a hopeless situation.

A sense of exaltation that raised one’s own ‘price’.

There was no room for any other outside factor to intervene.

yeah that’s just me

Was this possible simply thanks to the blood of the demon god?

no it can’t be

Besides, Solomon is counting on me.

That’s why I prepared such a troublesome arrangement.

He even said that my birth was ‘unintentional’.

Then, one conclusion.

“By the way, I can imitate the power of the Demon God.”

“okay.”

Solomon laughed.

At that moment, even a glimpse of madness could be seen in the twinkling eyes.

“Yes yes! That’s descendant! It’s the ‘potential’ I expected and the reason you said it was excellent!”

As if pleased with that fact, he burst into madness.

“That is a possibility that the Demon God does not know about and at the same time fears the most! It is the result of self-forging in the process of agonizing and questioning yourself!”

“You mean that’s hope?”

“Yeah, there’s no way you wouldn’t know how great it is.”

Solomon continued.

“Remember. That your very existence affirms the choice ‘He’ made that day.”

I could guess who the ‘He’ Solomon was talking about was.

Asar.

An existence that stands at the opposite point of the Demon God.

Due to some choice, he does not exist at the present time, but he is the guardian of mankind who has prepared all sorts of arrangements to counter the demons.

his words continued.

“Thus, even though it was created artificially, Solomon, who has existed as a ‘demigod’ for a long time, has only one thing to give you.”

In a situation where the advent of the existence of the demon god is right around the corner.

Solomon decided to tell me.

“Knowledge of divine killing.”

only for me

The result of repeated research for the naturally born half-body.

“< Longinus > was a part of that. But it’s not perfect. My power hurt the Demon God, but I couldn’t completely kill him.”

However, it is different if you continue.

if you

If you follow my will, you will be able to reach the end… … .

Even if it started from the arrogant madness of killing God, it could be achieved.

“So you do.”

Solomon stretched out his hand and said.

Brilliant light that burned from my hand began to pour toward me.

“You will kill the demon.”
