Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 281

The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 281

“… … hmm.”

A few days later, I was examining the Longinus in my hand.

Longinus.

When I saw it the other day, it was a gigantic pillar that I couldn’t dare to guess.

“It’s just a window that’s shrunk.”

It is impossible to measure its strength simply by its size.

But it certainly can’t compare to the real thing Solomon made.

– I don’t think it has to be big, Dad.

“I see.”

What Weiss said is true.

However, it is also true that with this level of Longinus, it is impossible to properly injure, let alone pierce the Demon God.

“… … hmm.”

He quietly focused his mind while holding Longinus.

Then, Longinus, which was placed on the palm, resonated and slowly floated up.

Ugh.

Currently, Longinus is a form of a part of my soul.

To be more precise, it is a by-product of the merging of new flesh and stigmata.

I was quietly focused.

A huge tree in front of you.

Concentrating his mind there, he shot < Longinus >.

Wedge!

At that moment, Longinus shot at the tree I was aiming at at the speed of light.

at the same time.

Kwajik!

With a short sound, a large hole was made in the tree and the tree collapsed.

Clean and quick attack.

It was incomparable to an attack using magic.

Faster and quicker than magic.

It is also a great advantage that it can ignore all of the defenses as it is a weapon made to fight against the gods.

– < Longinus > is a powerful weapon in itself. Even if it doesn’t necessarily aim at God, it will be a powerful deterrent to demons in itself.

“Why do you know that so well? I didn’t learn it anywhere.”

– My father seems to have underestimated gluttony too much. I am the existence that it is shaped. Of course, the moment I ate < Longinus >, I also learned information about him.

“… … hmm.”

Well, in the first place, gluttony was a power that was in contact with the power of demons such as ‘extinction’.

It wouldn’t be strange since Wise himself mentioned that there is something to be gained by eating demons.

but.

“Doesn’t that mean that only you unilaterally gained knowledge about < Longinus >?”

– No, that’s a bit different.

Weiss continued.

– I’m kind of a filter if I have to say it. There is no mind to be polluted, and no personality to arbitrarily ‘judge’ something. In other words, it is possible to accept the knowledge of < Longinus >, a power far beyond the human frame. Regardless of whether you can use it.

“In other words, through you, the knowledge of < Longinus > is classified to some extent, and it is delivered only at a level that I can digest.”

-In fact, when the conditions were met, my father summoned < Longinus >.

“That’s right.”

Come to think of it, I naturally summoned < Longinus > because of Wise’s influence.

Is that how you cut out useless things and hand them over to me?

– Anyway, I am a being who cannot harm my father by birth. give me credit

“It’s not that I can’t trust you.”

I just needed to properly understand < Longinus >.

It’s power to fight against demons, but if I can’t control it, it’s useless.

[I’m afraid someone isn’t your spirit, so it’s really weird like you.]

“Who’s weird?”

I snorted at Set’s words and returned Longinus to my hand.

A form specialized for throwing.

‘Can I increase one more?’

The Longinus I summoned is not just a weapon.

You could call it a piece of my soul.

If so, divide the soul fragments into smaller pieces and increase them… … .

[…] … Huh?]

Seeing what I was doing, Seth widened his eyes and opened his mouth.

As I focused my mind to slowly interfere with < Longinus >, < Longinus > started to vibrate.

and for a moment.

Chaeeng!

With a short burst, < Longinus >, which was about my height, split into small arrows.

sticky!

“… … Since the number is increasing, this is harder to deal with than I thought.”

Ignoring the pain that felt like squeezing my head, I decided to go ahead.

Although the size has decreased, there must be many means to use as the number has increased.

Moreover, its destructive power was incomparable to that of a weapon of the same mass.

If you can use it well, it will be of considerable help in the battle against the Great Devil.

Either Lucifer or Satan.

Either way, < Longinus > will be a means to gain an advantage against them.

divide

Dozens of < Longinus > divided like that were busy asserting themselves in their heads.

Calculations do not follow immediately.

In my own way, I consider myself an unprecedented genius.

‘Ah, it’s hard even like this.’

At this point, I must have been greatly strengthened with all kinds of strength.

It’s not easy though.

[No matter how much Michael does, it’s hard to handle < Longinus > so freely.]

“Is that so?”

[First of all, the weapon that Asar himself used? You should know what that means.]

“Al… … You know the creeps.”

can you not know

but… … .

“Isn’t that enough to kill a demon?”

With those words, I somehow matched the amount of calculations needed to control < Longinus >.

9 circles?

No, in terms of calculation, this is somewhere between the 9th and 10th circles.

In the first place, it couldn’t be easy to transform the weapon that God handled in my own way. but i have to do it anyway

The great demons to face in the future.

drank.

They must have these things to be able to compete with them.

“… … hmm.”

I minimized the amount of calculations required on the spot while holding on to my pounding head.

At first, < Longinus >, which were just divided and did not move properly, comes to mind little by little.

All at once, from different angles.

[Uh uh… … ?!]

Leaving Seth’s panicked voice behind, I reached out my hand.

At that moment, < Longinus > started to move individually towards the coordinates I designated.

like an army.

Kwagwagwa!

All at once, they simply devastated the surroundings.

Although it drains a lot of mana… … .

That wasn’t a big problem since the mana that Wise secured through gluttony helped somehow.

[…] … Did you do this on the spot?]

“It works somehow.”

At my words, Set looked at me with his mouth open… … .

[Ah no, it’s not at the level of being ‘somehow’?]

“I guess that’s the level for me.”

I quietly nodded my head as I looked at the area that had been devastated by Longinus’ countless attacks.

“… … hmm.”

I might be able to use this

[…] … Well, it’s not like this once or twice, and it’s funny to be surprised.]

“You’ve adapted.”

[I didn’t know that I could admire a human like this. um sure… … This is unexpected. Really.]

Set let out a small sigh and reached out.

[I’ll restore this one for now. I don’t think it’ll look good if we leave it as it is.]

Anger.

Then, the wind slowly flowed from her fingertips, and soon the surroundings were wrapped in light and restored.

As if the fact that the whole area had just been destroyed was a lie.

Considering that the first time I saw it, it was all about protecting me with a storm, so Set must have recovered quite a bit of power.

[So, do you have any plans for the next one? He said there was still time before your colleagues reappeared.]

“… … what.”

It is clear what to do.

“I have to go to the next grave.”

If you want to revive the ‘Round Table’ as quickly as possible, all you have to do is attack the tomb.

“There, there, Resset!”

“Yep! Why Mecht?”

Two short girls walked around with excited expressions on their faces.

The two looked exactly alike, as if one were reflected in a mirror.

Her shoulder-length black hair was blowing in the wind.

The two girls ran diligently through the fields with their dark eyes sparkling.

“Did you feel it?! did you feel it?! The Round Table is back! There are six of us!”

“Yep! It’s incomplete, but it must have been six! Eight!”

“1+1! Aren’t we like apostles with good value for money?!”

“I know! Two at once!”

The two of them chattered so diligently and laughed.

great apostle.

“We are one! But two!”

“Hee hee hee.”

The two girls burst into laughter, not hiding their innocent looks like children their age.

But that’s for a while.

Soon, he muttered, drooping his shoulders sullenly.

“… … But can we pass our ordeal?”

“How about lowering the difficulty a bit?”

“No no! That’s an insult to Asar! You must be properly qualified!”

“Uh, right. That’s right… … .”

The girl called ‘Reset’ nodded with a sullen expression.

But the distinction is meaningless.

The two girls are two, but at the same time they were one.

Even the name is just a frame set for the minimum distinction.

“Can you tell us apart?”

“Can you tell the difference between reality and reality?”

“Can you tell the difference between fantasies?”

The two chattered and questioned each other.

Twin-sided mirror… … .

Lesset Mecht.

The only one among the apostles serving Asar who was born as a twin, and symbolizes ‘purity’.

The two of them laughed for a long time.

yes they are both pure

However, that ‘purity’ is bound to become infinitely merciful or cruel depending on the case.

And unfortunately.

“but.”

There was one entity that they could be infinitely cruel to.

Took.

At the same time, the two stopped talking.

Silence permeates the area for a moment.

“… … to his successor.”

“There is a lowly traitor attached.”

“I can’t forgive you.”

“I can’t forgive you.”

The two muttered that several times with their dark eyes closed.

“We never.”

“I won’t forget.”

the two remembered.

The end of a great god who could have met a better end even if he hadn’t been ‘immortal’.

what is the cause

Why did he suffer in such a way from a wicked drinker or something like that? … .

they both know

“set.”

“It’s because of her.”

Even if others forget, the two never forget.

do not forgive traitors

The twins decided to wait.

The day the traitor arrives here with the challenger… … .

* * *

[…] … That’s right, that’s the next grave.]

Set nodded quietly.

For some reason, she had a rather complicated expression.

[Yes, that place… … It’s like getting two divine objects in your hands at once, so there’s no reason to delay.]

“Is there something wrong?”

[huh? no there is no such thing Well, although those two are on the side of playfulness, they are great apostles.]

However, even as he said that, Seth’s expression was not very bright.

“If there is anything I need to know, tell me here. I also have to prepare a lot for this.”

[Uhm… … .]

At that, Set stared into the air for a moment, hesitated, then said.

[Aren’t the apostles I’ve met so far hostile to me?]

“That’s right.”

[But that’s because those five were strangely tolerant. Originally, it shouldn’t be like that. That’s what it means to sympathize with the Demon God.]

That’s probably it.

As an apostle of Asar, cooperating with the Demon God is bound to be criticized no matter what the circumstances.

Of course, all the apostles couldn’t understand Set’s past.

There is nothing wrong with that.

If you look at it objectively, it can be seen as very natural.

After a while, she opened her mouth.

[Twin sister Lesset Mecht.]

Set’s green eyes stared at me quietly.

[They clearly ‘hate’ me.]

“… … .”

In short, this time’s tomb is related to the karma of her past sins.

“hmm.”

That’s awesome.
