Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 359

The Grand Mage who transcends by regression Chapter 359

– Kaaaaa!

With a wild roar, the monster’s huge body collapsed to the ground.

However, the battle is not over just because one giant monster has collapsed.

A monster with a ‘name’ was still standing there, showing off its presence.

“haha! My name is Naberius! A high-ranking demon named by him, and a great warrior who will shed your blood… … !”

“Keuugh!”

The battle isn’t just happening here.

Recently, the number of powerful demons with this name has increased.

As much as that, transcendental beings called ‘apostles’ swept across the battlefield and helped mankind, but they couldn’t save ‘all’.

The warriors of the area drool and tried to fight against the demon Naberius.

Of course it’s not easy.

Not everyone in the world is like a warrior.

Generally speaking, even a high-ranking demon like Naberius was a threat that could not be ignored.

Even now, Naberius wasn’t the only high-ranking demon on the battlefield.

‘… … Dangerous.’

At this rate, fatal damage could be inflicted.

Especially when you think of the demons that will continue to come in the future.

The warriors all closed their eyes tightly in darkness.

But then.

“Yes, be afraid! Before the power of Naberius… … !』

“What is this again?”

“Success… … Huh?”

Naberius, who was about to jump in the mood, opened his mouth at the sudden voice.

If it hadn’t been so out of the blue, even the warriors who were dealing with demons in the middle of the battlefield would have stopped what they were doing and turned their attention there.

That moment.

“Stop, you bastard… … !]

Seeing that, Naberius’ eyes widened.

As a high-ranking demon, there is no way that you don’t know the true identity of the existence in front of you.

Even if I searched the whole world for such a striking appearance, there was only one.

『You hero… … !』

Hero Mikhail Walpurgis.

To the devil, isn’t it like a nightmare?

At that moment, Michael’s eyebrows twitched.

“Huh the devil… … .”

retort?

As if Naberius was laughing, he widened his eyes.

“Besides you? where.”

Then, without hesitation, he struck Naberius with his staff.

Whoops!

『Big heh heh!』

“You devil!”

Whoops!

『Kaeheek!』

“It’s you, you!”

What followed immediately after that was an overwhelming feast of unbelievable violence.

Everyone in the area watched the scene blankly, forgetting that there was an enemy in front of them.

『Khehehehehe!』

The high-ranking demon was beaten like a dog.

Tears are probably shining between the faces that are vaguely covered with both arms… … .

‘Oh, he’s crying.’

‘Wow, cry.’

Everyone thought so and watched Naberius, who had been beaten for a long time.

The violence that ensued did not end until Naberius was completely crushed to death.

“Whoa.”

Dissolving it with a creak, he slowly looked around. Bright red eyes flashed fiercely between the shadowy faces.

The place where that gaze was directed was the demons that filled the entire area.

– Hee hee?!

Every time their eyes met, the demons screamed and desperately avoided their gaze.

However, resistance was meaningless in front of anyone’s red eyes… … .

“< Longinus >.”

With those words, hundreds of thousands of spears filled the sky.

The demons froze in front of its overwhelming majesty.

It is instinctively realized.

It’s not something that can be blocked or avoided. No matter how hard I struggle, I can’t stop it… … .

– Poetry God… … .

One of the demons stared blankly at Longinus, seeking the god.

But it didn’t make any sense.

“good.”

Soon, Longinus ruthlessly fell to the ground.

Kwagwagwagwa!

It was a blow that ended the fierce battle in an instant.

* * *

Garam, the kingdom of beastmen.

When I came back after a long time, a lot of things had changed.

First of all, unlike before, the walls were taller and the number of warriors with weapons increased considerably.

The biggest change among them is… … .

“Hey elves and fairies… … .”

A new race is seen in Garam, which used to be made up of beastmen.

Recently, I heard that the beastmen and the elves started to interact under the leadership of jihad, but it seemed to be part of it.

At my words, Yeon Mi-ryeo, the girl who was guiding me, said with a smile.

“Ah, a countermeasure was needed as a problem has recently arisen around the world. Just in time, the representative of the elves, Prince Jihad, came to visit… … .”

“You mean the exchange started on the spot. What a wise choice. Beastmen and elves go well together in many ways in battle.”

“Hehe, right?”

Yeon Mi-Ryeo was the last surviving member of Yeonga, one of the families that had previously been sacrificed by the great demon Ariok.

Thanks to me, somehow I was able to finish without any major problems.

“Come to think of it, what about humans? Surprisingly, I saw a few humans too… … .”

“Oh, that has gotten a lot better. Thanks to the hero’s active work, the image of humans among the clan has improved considerably.”

“… … Hmm.”

This is definitely on the good side.

Isn’t it a situation where even if we cooperate with each other, it’s not enough?

It is truly the best result for mankind to cooperate without such great antagonism.

“Yeonmi-ryeo, how are you?”

“Hey, it’s always the same.”

No more shadows could be seen from her saying that.

The previous vengeance or guilt has completely disappeared.

After that day, she might have forgiven herself in her own way.

“I wanted to say thank you one more time, but it went well.”

“What’s new?”

“What I can do right now is… … It doesn’t seem like there is, but it’s true that I received grace anyway.”

“Thank you even from the bottom of my heart.”

In the first place, I didn’t help with the expectation of a great reward.

If the future is different from before the return, should I say that it is a reward full of rewards for me?

She and I walked, talking about this and that, and finally arrived at the palace where the Beast King resides.

and at the entrance.

“Haha, long time no see. Warrior!”

The king of beasts, Muhyul, stood there with a hearty laugh.

Next to him stood Jihad.

* * *

“Huh, are you saying you’re going to lend us the power of that ‘divine object’?”

The beast king could not hide his surprise at my words with his eyes wide open. I didn’t have time, so I brought the main topic to the two right away.

new property rental.

Jihad also looks quite surprised.

“Mikhail-sama, don’t you mean part of God? How can something so precious… … .”

“Anyway, it doesn’t mean much to me anymore. In that case, it is better to use the ‘sinmul’ itself if there is a corner that can be used more.”

“Uh um… … .”

The two did not reject the offer to lend the god.

In the current situation, what they both need more than anything else is strength.

The power to protect the people.

I was thinking of lending a new item to these two.

The two constantly blamed themselves for not being able to protect the kingdom due to lack of strength even before returning.

Obviously, the current situation is better than before the return, but you still don’t know.

I want to rule out even that ‘unknown possibility’ as much as possible.

Because it was regressed to produce the best results in the first place. I saw them both with that thought.

‘It’s unfortunate.’

Just like before returning, the two naturally met and became close friends.

Is it fate?

I naturally thought of us as an expeditionary force called ‘Argo’ before returning.

– it’s okay.

– Don’t beat yourself up too much, Mikhail.

All were best colleagues.

Some might say, why are you clinging to the future that has already passed so badly?

But what can I do?

Since returning, all the motivations for my actions have started from the ‘past future’.

No matter how painful it is, you can’t even cut the source.

There is no such thing as just adapting to the pain and turning away from it.

remembered at the same time.

– You will have to choose.

The great Asar said that I would have to make a ‘choice’ in the final battle with the Demon God.

And is that choice directly related to what I want?

I don’t know.

exactly what will happen

What crossroads will appear in front of me and will force me to make a choice… … .

Even though I obtained the divine power following the great mage, there was a limit to what I could know.

“… … .”

“Well, warrior. You don’t look that good? Did something happen?”

“No, not that.”

Did your thoughts show up on your face?

I smiled bitterly and waved my hand as if it was nothing.

However, Muhyul and Jihad were not so blind.

“Heroes, do you have to go soon?”

“Yes, because time is limited. Because I have a lot to do.”

“Don’t you have time for a drink?”

“… … hmm.”

The one cup Moohyul is talking about must be alcohol. I knew the meaning of his offering alcohol, so I couldn’t express my intention to refuse any more.

One cup should be fine.

“That should be fine.”

It won’t take long.

Maybe it will be the last time, so this kind of time will be fine.

* * *

When Muhyul saw the ‘Hero’ in front of him, he was always seized with a strange feeling.

It wasn’t a particularly great reason, it was because the eyes looking at them were somehow quite familiar.

The reason why he referred to himself as ‘them’ here was that he was not the only subject of familiarity.

Jihad, representative of the elves.

He looked the same way to the young elf he had recently become involved with.

‘I don’t remember.’

But he was pretty smart. Those eyes are probably not simply ‘one-way’ emotions.

Then he and Jihad knew the original hero… … .

Again, not so.

A normal person would just keep this question in their mind.

But Muhyul is not like that.

If you have any doubts, please let me know.

That suited his temper.

“I’ll ask you one thing, warrior.”

“You say yes.”

“you.”

He pointed to himself and Jihad and looked at the warrior.

“Did you know about the two of us from the beginning?”

“… … .”

The warrior did not answer.

He was silent as he rolled the teacup he was holding in his hand, and soon… … .

“If I knew, would something be different?”

“I think my question will be resolved.”

“… … .”

The hero was silent for a moment. He tried to open his mouth as if it wouldn’t be difficult, but… … .

“It is an absurd story.”

“Tell me anyway.”

It was jihad that was spoken at that time. He, like Muhyul, was quietly watching the warrior.

He must have felt the same way.

not to doubt

I just felt that something was blocked on the side of the hero. The two decided that they had to break through the blockage.

That’s what’s important to a warrior.

You could call it intuition.

And after a while… … .

“… … It is a story of possibility.”

Long if long, short if short.

The hero slowly began to tell such a story.

* * *

“… … That’s the story.”

I looked at the two after telling the story of ‘before the return’.

Do you really think it’s absurd, or do you think it might be so and accept it?

Revealing the facts about my regression is not a big deal in itself. I’ve already told quite a few people about it.

But what about these two?

You’re my colleague before returning.

… … Should I say that it’s a bit different from Rian or Ariandel, who I came to realize naturally?

It should be said that this is the first time for me to speak directly against ‘old colleagues’.

“Uh um… … .”

Jihad had a slightly complicated expression, but he nodded his head and showed understanding.

“surely… … If you think like that, it makes sense. Until now, Mikhail-sama seemed to know a lot.”

“I agree.”

Rather, I was a little surprised by the calm reaction of the two people.

It’s too easy to understand, so the reaction feels bland.

Then Muhyul said.

“I see now.”

“What do you mean?”

“Why did you show that expression earlier and what are you thinking?”

With those words, Muhyul laughed.

A somewhat uncomfortable laugh.

I’m sure I’ve felt something similar to this before the regression.

“you.”

The glass Muhyul was holding was shaking.

He has a slightly mischievous yet piercing smile.

“Are you still in that future?”

I simply put a dagger in it.
