Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 287

The great mage who transcends by regression, episode 287,

yes, it’s a set.

I could see that the identity of the woman in front of me was ‘Set’.

Of course, the atmosphere is completely different.

In the current set, the cold and bitter feeling was stronger than the original flimsy feeling.

The outfits were definitely different.

A pitch black dress.

In addition, the pale white skin made the set feel different from each other.

“Why are humans here? There’s no way humans could have come this far.”

She said and stretched out her hand.

Then, at that moment, wouldn’t a chair come into existence out of nothingness?

seemed to know what it was.

The seat of the round table symbolizing the apostle.

However, unlike the original jwa, the color is muddy and distorted.

Set looked down at me with his legs crossed and arrogant eyes.

“What should I do with you?”

“… … hmm.”

You said it was black, but in fact, was it just puberty?

I scratched my head looking at the set that unnecessarily set the mood.

Whatever.

‘The surroundings are shit.’

The vitality I felt when I first fell disappeared in an instant.

Only then did the surroundings come into view.

‘altar?’

Behind Set, who was sitting on the left, was an altar exuding an ominous aura.

– … … It’s the food of Yeokcheon (易天).

Weiss said in a displeased voice.

But I didn’t really punish him. It’s annoying because I was too.

The power to twist the obvious.

The ‘altar’ behind the set was the medium that triggered it.

That the altar is here.

‘… … Was it when Asar gave up immortality and Set rebelled?’

This must be because the set was in the midst of a period of stormy rage and rebellion.

hmm.

“You have a high head, man.”

“… … .”

That’s right. Certainly there is no other way to describe it than gale-force.

When I glanced at Set with that kind of eye, Set’s face contorted slightly in displeasure.

“How dare you look at me like that.”

An angry voice was heard.

At the same time, an unmatched force that falls over my head.

‘storm!’

Storms aren’t just for defense.

Besides, with a set from this era, you should be able to use the same power as in your heyday.

Without hesitation, I used magic to avoid it.

It’s not real, so I won’t actually die just because I’m right, but when I die, the ordeal will undoubtedly be treated as a failure.

As soon as I moved, the ‘air’ in the place where I was was compressed and exploded.

Wow!

That’s what he did in an instant without any action.

How much power can be concentrated in that simple attack… … .

“… … Did you avoid it?”

Seth’s eyes lit up with a bleak light.

Again she stretched out her hand.

Just like before, the surrounding air changes.

‘Was this kind of thing possible in a storm in the first place?’

It’s true that he has deteriorated considerably compared to his heyday.

My body moved faster by instinct than my head calculated.

Mana leads and magic is formed.

“Isn’t it the Guardian’s job to attack on sight?”

“I am no longer a Guardian.”

With those words, Set reached out his hand again.

Although it would be possible to counter that power with magic again.

‘That’s inefficient.’

Rather than avoiding… … .

“Wise.”

– Got it Contractor.

Kwajik!

Just like that, Weiss swallowed Set’s storm itself.

Just like the power of gluttony, the storm disappeared without a trace as if it never existed from the beginning.

“what… … ?!”

Seth’s eyes trembled violently in astonishment.

Seeing her reaction, I let out a small sigh.

“… … Wise’s power worked.”

– Yes, contractor.

Weiss continued in a calm voice.

– There’s no way I sympathized with the demon and didn’t receive anything.

“Is it normal?”

No need to be surprised.

If it was a time when I sympathized with the devil, there would have been times when I received its power and used it.

There must have been a situation

Even if I don’t understand it, it was a situation that the set at the time could rationalize.

but… … .

“… … Tsk.”

I looked around.

Death was rolling in.

What I felt there was ‘life’ was only around me.

Even if you look a little far away, a terrible death lurks.

“Did you do those sets?”

“Did not do it.”

Seth shook his head with an expression of displeasure.

“but… … okay. If neglect is violence, those might be the result of my creation.”

“… … .”

“Do you feel anger as a fellow countryman? It’s a valid feeling. You have the right to hate me, human.”

Set rose from the left.

“But I also have a purpose. A purpose so earnest that it gives power to those who do not want it.”

“Whatever you do, will you achieve that goal?”

“… … Yes.”

“Could you regret it?”

“You will regret it more if you give up.”

Set did not show the slightest hesitation.

I feel a lot of complex emotions.

Hatred and sympathy for humanity.

Blind respect for Asar.

An obsessive sense of bewilderment.

– No meaning contractor. It’s already happened. Doesn’t the contractor know very well that that was the most twisted time?

i know i know

– I also feel that it is in contact with the memories I confirmed while absorbing < Longinus >. I think I may have seen something like this back then.

“… … What would it be?”

Set looked down at me with cold eyes.

“But what the hell are you?”

Seth’s gaze turns to Weiss, who is attached to me.

Both eyes were trembling slightly.

“What is it?”

“… … .”

I quickly glanced around without answering Set’s words.

What the hell is the current situation and what can I get from this fantasy that is like reality.

After finishing the calculation, I raised my head.

conclusion has been made.

“… … For now, I need to get you back to your senses.”

As I said before, I came to this trial with the intention of eating it raw.

in short.

– Anyway.

In other words, there is no reason to delay the time due to the psychological conflict of the set.

Then Set looked at me with cold eyes and said.

“How dare humans ignore me.”

“Okay.”

I’ve never really ignored it.

I just had it prepared.

Set began to gather his strength as if to launch an attack of incomparable power.

oh oh oh!

an imminent situation.

and that moment.

Keying.

A bright golden light flashed from the side of Set’s collarbone.

– Contractor shone!

“know!”

The moment I noticed, my body moved.

At that moment, Set also raised a prepared ‘storm’ towards me… … .

– I will cover this one.

“What?!”

Weiss immediately nullified Set’s attack.

momentary break.

My hand reaches out toward the light… … .

“Time to wake up, set.”

Kwajik!

caught the light

At that moment, a bright light burst out.

Then, the rim of light that had been constricting her head, which had not been seen until now, burst.

Kwajik!

“Ugh… … ?!”

Seth’s face twisted.

The medium of the ‘contract’ I gave her before accepting the ordeal.

An amulet that replicates and materializes a part of the magic circle that maintains the existence of Set.

It itself is no different from the milestones of the soul.

It’s very easy to get it back to normal if you’ve been working on it from the outside beforehand.

“… … ah.”

At that moment, her eyes, which had been foggy, suddenly opened.

Her eyes, which had regained their light, turned to me… … .

“… … Mikhail?”

I came back with the eyes of the set I usually remember.

* * *

A little time has passed.

Set pressed his forehead and frowned in confusion before speaking.

“What happened to Mikhail? I feel like I’m in a sad dream somewhere… … .”

“I know you remember everything, so let’s not do anything stupid.”

“… … .”

“Well, whatever period of stormy rage you had, that’s nothing to say about it.”

“… … okay.”

Seth bowed his head with a sullen expression and trudged toward me.

Then, with the expression that he had something to say… …

“Oh, don’t tell me.”

“… … uh?”

“Isn’t there a time when you just said something like this or did you intend to confess in front of me about the past that was dotted with your regrets?”

“… … hmm.”

Set averted his gaze.

Was it too For some reason, it seemed to uselessly set the mood.

“It’s done.”

“Ha, but my past… … .”

“Should I handle it?”

I barely got a feel for it.

Set, who sympathized with the Demon God in the past, would have aided in the crimes he committed.

Maybe he was thinking of regaining Asar’s immortality by using what was created like that.

But haven’t I already made up my mind about how to treat Set?

“You have to pay for the sins you committed in the past. I don’t need any other words. If it’s too much, I can help with one hand.”

End with that.

At my words, Set looked at me with a blank expression for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile.

“… … haha that’s right I’m sure it was a nonsensical remark.”

yes, this is adequate

Anyway, Set must have come to his senses, so he went straight to the point.

“So here?”

I was curious.

The set at this time seemed to be guarding that ‘altar’, and no matter how you look at it, the land around this area was far from normal.

“Land of the Dead.”

Set replied lightly.

“It is part of the sins that the demons committed in the past to expand their territory. He intended to represent evil as his antipode.”

Because of ‘restrictions’, Set never talked about this properly.

But now it’s different.

Neither Set nor the apostles must have felt it in their hearts. The fact that you can no longer just follow the ‘restrictions’… … .

Her eyes were on the black dead land beyond.

The unilateral loss of vitality was not enough, so it was a terrible sight that was covered in ‘death’.

“… … for a moment.”

At the strange words I heard then, I tilted my head for a moment.

“The fact that the demon god ‘wanted’ to represent those things means that he wasn’t originally that kind of god?”

“What is it? In the first place, the existence of ‘God’ was not divided into good and evil, so… … I think it’s time to say this.”

Set raised his head.

“Until now, the existence that you and I called ‘Demon God’ and Asar-sama were opposed to was not simply a matter of good versus evil.”

“… … then?”

“Did you tell me? At that time, he and I agreed quite well.”

With those words, at that moment, a huge ‘darkness’ slowly began to gather towards the altar.

A darkness on a scale so great that one cannot dare to fathom.

An existence that is extremely hateful, but nonetheless clearly embedded in the brain.

“… … drank!”

Unbeknownst to me, that voice came out of my mouth.

This fantasy reproduces the mythical age at that time as it is.

If so, it means that the Demon God trying to do something through the altar in the scene at that time also actually happened.

“… … .」

The darkness says nothing.

But Set, who was watching it, muttered blankly.

“There is only one thing I want. Apostle of a close friend.”

Those were the words of a demon.

““I don’t want to be alone”.”

““I don’t want to lose my companion”.”

“”I hate my best friend’s twist on ‘order’.”

I saw the darkness beyond.

The Demon God was looking down on everything. Deep red eyes filled with hatred.

Those eyes were talking.

I am.

“”I’ll put everything back to ‘the beginning’ when it was right.”

When I heard that, the darkness that filled my vision looked different.

I drank it though.

It was a monster and at the same time… … .

“Right.”

Asar’s companion.
