Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 400
The great mage who transcends by regression Episode 28
Life is like that.
It’s life that doesn’t always go the way you think. Wouldn’t that be fun if it worked the way you thought it would?
There is such uncertainty, and people have to live a little… … It can be said.
maybe.
“hmm.”
In that sense, wouldn’t this situation I’m going through right now be like a microcosm of life?
Happiness belongs to everyone.
You just don’t notice it, it’s everywhere.
“That Mikhail?”
Siegfried, who was quietly fiddling with the teacup, spoke.
“First of all, it’s nice to see you after such a long time… … .”
“okay… … .”
“No matter what, it’s a bit of a meltdown in my face like that… … .”
The expression ‘melting’ here doesn’t really matter. It’s just mental, and it means that everything has melted.
That means it’s annoying.
“Honestly, I didn’t know that you were sent.”
“I had no choice.”
Siegfried answered my words with a dark expression.
“It seemed that if I was captured more, I would inherit the position of general manager. What nonsense is this… … .”
“hmm? Are you talking about that captain? You correct him.”
“I heard you are going back to farming.”
“… … .”
Is returning to farming a fad these days?
From what I’ve heard, my father seems to have heard that his hope for the future is to return to farming.
Why do people who are a bit famous on the continent want to be one with nature so much?
“I don’t know how much stress you’ve been subjected to in this society, so you want to be at one with nature.”
“… … .”
“Why are you looking at me?”
I faced Siegfried, who was staring blankly at me.
“No, nothing. just what should i say I heard that His Excellency the Marquis of Walpurgis also wants to return to farming… … It makes me think a lot.”
“The fortress empire is a bit of a farming frenzy. All the kids gathered here ran away to avoid that.”
With the exception of Aileen, our group could be said to be victims of the sudden return to farming frenzy.
“victim… … Is that correct?”
“Yes, the victim.”
maybe… … .
In any case, our earthly task right now isn’t world peace or anything, it’s just that we live each day sucking honey.
do not want to work.
I really hate to work… … .
“Yeah, well that’s what it is. First of all, I want to get things done quickly and just stay here.”
“… … you?”
No, it’s not the other guy, what is Siegfried so into?
Wasn’t this the guy who ruined the world with his inflexibility before returning?
“I would think that it would take two to three weeks for this matter to be dealt with in the Kyo-guk.”
“hmm.”
“But I handled this a little quickly, so it took a week… … No, what if it was handled in one day?”
As Siegfried said that, life began to circulate in his eyes.
“It comes to the conclusion that I can rest comfortably on my own for at least two weeks!”
“… … .”
“There is no need to receive a coy glance from the captain, and no need to be scolded by Cassandra or her sister! Truly, the completion of a world where no one gets hurt!”
Siegfried laid out such plans and dreamed of a hopeful future.
“How are you, Mikhail!”
“… … hmm.”
I looked at him with complicated eyes.
It seems that he has definitely changed positively, but in part, it seems that he has undergone a dark evolution.
“Are you having a hard time these days?”
“No, not as hard as before… … isn’t it? As you know, I have been busy for the past few years.”
“It did.”
“Certainly not that much now. A busy job was finished a while ago… … .”
After saying that, Siegfried buried himself in the chair he was sitting on.
“It must have been… … .”
“You are tired.”
“Yes, I went through a lot in a short period of time, didn’t I? I had to recognize the fact that I was a puppet, and I had to resolve the karma I had accumulated.”
Well, that was it.
It is an undeniable fact that Siegfried was used as a puppet for the demons that swept across the kingdom at the time.
In the process, it is clear that I did bad things to my sister and to Cassandra.
These were all problems that Siegfried himself had to solve.
Actually, he was busy trying to solve it and he did it well enough.
‘It’s fun.’
I can’t believe the time will come when I try to understand this guy.
It’s something to see people live long.
At one time, he was so antagonistic with Siegfried and tried hard to deny him.
“You have grown.”
“Because I had to.”
Siegfried looked at me with a wry smile. It’s definitely different from those eyes from before.
a little… … The kid got a little messy, but looking at it as a whole, he became a human anyway.
“Anyway, with Mikhail-sama, things would be easier. I really don’t know if it’s possible to finish this job in one day.”
“I hope so.”
It’s a good plan, but there’s one major problem.
“There is a possibility that this issue may not be as easy as you think.”
“… … yes?”
Siegfried immediately hardened his expression at my words.
When no hopeful words came out of my mouth, it seemed that the matter was more serious than I thought.
“Could it be that the unknown Great Demon survived… … .”
“Oh, it’s not as serious as you think. So, it’s okay to be at ease on that side.”
I first reassured Siegfried, then continued.
“Not to the extent of the Great Devil. At most, it would be lower-middle class.”
“Then isn’t this a stage where you don’t have to worry so much?”
“That’s the case, but looking at the atmosphere, it seems like a growth type devil.”
“… … ah.”
Siegfried’s expression hardened as he immediately understood my words.
“It means that the risk can increase depending on the situation. Of course, I’m not going to go to the level of the Great Devil… … .”
“That’s not to the point of ignoring it.”
Aren’t the twin devils who almost destroyed the kingdom in the past also ‘great devils’?
“I heard that this case is a ‘nightmare’ and a devil whose specialty is ‘reproducing’ it.”
“Yes, as soon as I entered the border, I saw quite a few people exposed to nightmares. That’s not a good sign.”
No one died or anything. It’s probably to the point where you feel tired from a nightmare.
It’s still like that.
However, if left unattended, there is a high possibility that many victims will be born.
“Of course, that’s not the only thing I’m worried about.”
“What are you talking about?”
“What should I say… … .”
It’s a bit complicated.
That the demon in question might have encountered me at some point and most likely recreated my nightmares.
And that ‘nightmare’… … .
‘This guy before the return.’
I can’t be sure, but my intuition has been telling me that it’s very likely.
I hope not, but in this case it’s highly likely.
“Just that… … .”
I looked at the guy who didn’t understand for a moment and then said.
“… … Don’t be too surprised.”
“yes?”
Siegfried put on an expression of even more incomprehension.
Unfortunately, in this case, I have nothing more to say.
just what’s going to happen
… … maybe.
* * *
The search for the devil began immediately.
I don’t know if it was in the past, but it’s not particularly difficult now.
It is even easier to track down this demon because it has pulled out the nightmares of the entire kingdom without fidelity.
“Don’t you have any thoughts?”
Still, I thought I might be able to catch this guy through a rather elaborate investigation process, but I really picked it out randomly.
“Huh, this devil… … I guess you just didn’t think about tracking?”
“I mean.”
I looked around as I listened to Siegfried’s words.
First of all, the other party said to rest comfortably.
Anyway, for this case, if there are too many people for no reason, it will only make matters worse.
Siegfried and me.
If these two aren’t enough, I’d say it’s overflowing.
“It’s fortunate, but it seems that he wasn’t hiding around His Highness Leo II.”
“The location is near the hunting ground in the corner of the small kingdom. Well, since there are a lot of monsters, it must have been good to hide.”
The waves would have matched well.
“Are you leaving right away?”
“Is there any need to delay? I’ve figured out the location, and he’s not particularly threatening.”
Just hit it as soon as you find it.
“Let’s go.”
Even as I said that, my face when I saw him was not very comfortable.
I don’t know now, but I don’t know how he will react when he sees ‘My Nightmare’… … .
‘I’m sure he’ll take care of it.’
won’t it work somehow
I didn’t do anything wrong either.
* * *
“Huh hahaha… … !”
The demon Janus laughed.
Power flowing through the body.
He had never felt such clear strength in his life. How can it be so powerful?
Even though it was simply ‘recreated’, the subject of this nightmare accepted the demon’s power very simply.
“The hero Mikhail Walpurgis… … .”
Of course, we know that the great god perished at the hands of that abominable human being.
Of course I knew that killing him couldn’t be easy.
But a nightmare is a nightmare.
Janus believed that his ‘nightmare’ could defeat the hero.
Isn’t it called a nightmare because it’s painful and you can’t overcome it?
Of course it takes time.
No matter how confident Janus is, he has no intention of doing anything to the ‘hero’ right now.
After cultivating strength in this kingdom, I will move when I can definitely do something about the hero.
Spread of nightmares.
The tiredness and negative emotions felt by the people of the kingdom right now will fully flow into you and be reborn as a formidable power… … .
“Haha warrior… … ! wait! Doom will reach you!”
“Did you call?”
“I called… … !”
I think I heard something next to me that I shouldn’t have heard… … .
Giggling, Janus’ head turned to where the voice came from.
and what was seen.
“Yeah.”
tuk tuk.
A young human patting his shoulder with a staff and looking at him.
“I can’t stand… … !”
“Is it spherical? I don’t know, but maybe you’re old. So I must have acted like this not funny.”
At those words, Janus’ face turned pale. When the hell did you even come here?
I didn’t notice at all.
Janus shuddered and shouted the name of the young human who had heard his words.
“Yo hero Mikhail Walpurgis!”
“Yes, yes.”
Mikhail, who responded to Janus’s words as if he was annoyed, simply waved his staff to greet them.
“How to buy a staff member.”
“Ke heck… … ?!”
Janus was hit on the head and flew through the sky.
As he flew by, he couldn’t quite comprehend.
‘Why why… … ?!’
He must have obtained the nightmare that the hero feared so much. It doesn’t make sense to be fooled like this.
Then the warrior said.
“When did I overcome that?
“… … !”
“If you want to die painfully, I have no intention of stopping you.”
Looking at Mikhail, Janus’ complexion turned blue.
Mikhail tried to swing his staff at Janus with a cold, hard expression.
But then.
“Aaaaaaa crazy!”
“Kieack!”
Whoops!
With a desperate cry, Siegfried’s knee suddenly protruded and hit Janus’s throat directly.
