Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 407

The great mage who transcends by returning, Episode 35

History disappeared now.

The beginning of the downfall of the family at that time was the death of his father.

As a great mage, the pillar that firmly supported the empire and led the family.

that father died

“… … Oh father.”

Looking at my father enshrined in the coffin, I couldn’t realize the reality at the time.

To me, my father was someone who would never fall down.

A strict and supportive father.

I didn’t know that I would lose my father like that. At the time, I wasn’t ready to lose my father.

Indeed, what son of the world would be ready for that?

Anyway, it was.

At that time, I didn’t have as good magic skills as I do now, much less was I aware of that talent.

Did you have that determination?

no, there wasn’t even that.

The house was shaken rapidly and needed a pillar to hold it.

And as you know, the story that followed… … Not good.

I didn’t even know that the level of Circle 8 that Viscount Nostra achieved was created by a demon.

Old memories recalled one by one.

Of course, just thinking about it doesn’t feel good.

What can I do? It’s not a matter of getting over it… … .

Shall we call it black history?

Beyond the loss of his father, the guilt and sadness of not being able to become a proud son to the end.

At the time, I was weighed down by those feelings, and I used to constantly push myself to the brink of regression.

Yes, until the end of the end.

As such, the death of my father brought a great shock to me and made me think of many things.

Of course, it goes without saying that the fact that it served as an opportunity for me to change was the greatest infidelity.

* * *

“… … .”

My father quietly listened to my story. My father, who listened silently without saying anything.

“I thought it was strange.”

With those words, he nodded his head.

The expression that I can understand my actions so far.

“It changed so suddenly. Even if the kid was out of his mind, it wasn’t like this.”

“On the contrary, my mind has been corrected.”

“No, I’m just crazy. Now that I think about it, I didn’t just let it go, I went out at all… … .”

“… … .”

My father looked at me with a puzzled expression and then shook his head.

A look that doesn’t seem to be able to find an answer.

No matter how much I tell you the secret of my life, I feel a little hurt by this kind of reaction… … .

After muttering that, my father pressed his forehead for a while as if he had a headache.

“So in the end… … I fell ill because of the tricks of the demon god and died in vain, and you, Viscount Nostra… … You mean you depended on that friend?”

“Yes, it happened.”

“However, that friend was already taken over by the Demon God as bait for the 8th Circle… … .”

“That too.”

At my answer, my father pressed his forehead even harder.

It seems that the headache, which is a chronic disease, has subsided.

“… … Is the family ruined like that?”

“It’s my fault.”

“That’s your fault. Why are you trying to package something so obvious as if it were a decision to save the country?”

“… … .”

oh this doesn’t work

My father caught it like a ghost and quietly raised the staff.

“Why are you eating that again?”

“It’s because I burst into a tantrum when I heard that my son suddenly came to visit me. I don’t think this father will ever be able to keep his composure unless he holds it.”

“… … .”

This time, I felt like I was going to break my leg with all my heart, so I slightly distanced myself.

Fortunately, of course, my father took no further action.

Although he was glaring at me while holding the staff, it is clear from experience that his father’s anger has not yet reached a critical point.

Waiting for his father’s anger to subside, he said cautiously.

“Do you believe me?”

“Isn’t it rather strange that you don’t believe it? My son, he used to be in the 8th circle and is now a great mage in the 9th circle. Except for you, there will be few people who can surpass me in academic knowledge on the continent.”

“… … .”

“No matter how infinitely talented you are, it is impossible to raise the level of magic so quickly and find and solve problems.”

Dad snorted when he said that.

“But after hearing your words, my doubts so far have become clearer. Speaking of time, you have to go back that far before you can say that you are the enemy of demons.”

“It has failed endlessly.”

I don’t know exactly how my father must have felt when he heard me now.

either the good side or the bad side.

Because my father doesn’t bother to express such a thing in a situation like this.

But either way, if you’re determined to reveal, don’t stop. because i did it

“Looking at the coffin where my father’s body was placed, I thought a lot. I don’t know how many times I blamed myself for my pathetic feelings.”

“… … .”

“After that, the butler… … At that time, Merdin was the teacher. After being taught by him, I somehow laid the foundation for becoming a wizard.”

I also briefly summarized what happened after that to my father.

He handed over the position of warrior to Siegfried out of a sense of shame about himself.

After that, I tried to solve the situation somehow by assisting Siegfried, but it failed and eventually humanity was defeated… … .

My father listened to them silently and let out a small sigh.

“Still, you managed to reach the level of the 9th circle by yourself. This father has only reached the heights now, you… … .”

“Isn’t that a talent?”

“No, this bastard is real.”

Father raised the staff again.

I felt like if I really stimulated it a little more, I would do it that day, so I decided to seal the mouth.

My father looked at me for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“Good job.”

“It doesn’t matter if you curse at me because I’m ugly. Aren’t you the son who ruined the family once?”

Of course, it was me. I sorted out my feelings about the memories before the return.

But aren’t father’s feelings different?

If my father really wants me to wield the staff… … Well, that should be right, is there anything special?

It’s true that I was wrong.

My father didn’t say anything for quite some time, just staring at me.

Then.

“You have suffered.”

He said that.

Same word as before.

There is no atmosphere of rebuke for the collapse of the family because of me before returning.

“Did you go forward, whipping yourself so foolishly countless times?”

“I thought at the time that it was natural.”

“I guess so.”

Dad nodded and let out a small sigh.

“It looks rough. I finally came to my senses after my family collapsed, but it was already too late… … .”

“… … .”

“The target of resentment is too far away. Isn’t that what God is? In that case, you should resent the nearest target.”

It was as it was said.

With that logic, I blamed myself endlessly, and in a way, that resentment… … It would be good to say that he created the situation before the regression.

Then the father asked.

“So now?”

“As you can see, I shook it off. You can say that he has been reborn as Mikhail with 200% confidence.”

“Yeah, it looks like that.”

Now that I have shaken off my father’s words, those memories don’t bother me.

It can’t be meaningless, but it’s not to the extent that it eats me up.

“But you still haven’t sorted out your feelings for this father before you went against time?”

“… … .”

“Do you think this father would resent you? You’ve shaken off everything else, but isn’t it easy to shake off that?”

also father.

Even the things I didn’t reveal, you’re guessing and saying everything.

In fact, it is also true that I feel enormous responsibility for the downfall of my family and the death of my father.

“To some extent, yes.”

“You know what, Mikhail?”

My father smiled wryly at my answer and continued.

“Even when you were a troublemaker, I never once denied your existence.”

“… … .”

“For a father, a child is such a being. how was your mother Will she try to deny you no matter what you look like? no it won’t be.”

Father listened to the staff.

I flinched at the moment, wondering if it was right, but it wasn’t, I just put it on my shoulder.

“A while ago, when I didn’t answer your words, I thought for a moment. What would the country be like at that time? The conclusion came sooner than I thought.”

“What was your conclusion?”

“I was just worried.”

My father said that with an expression that asked if I was asking for something obvious.

“But on the other hand, I would have believed it. This father’s talent is the best on the continent, so what about you, the son?”

“… … .”

“I must have believed that even if I wandered or suffered, I would somehow find the right path and reach the right destination. Yes I would have.”

My father said that and looked out the window.

A face looking a little far away.

Perhaps he imagined for a moment the time when he should have lost his life over me before returning.

‘It’s faith… … .’

Did the father believe in the potential of this ugly son to the end?

No matter what you go through, in the end, you will stand tall as a son you are not ashamed of.

“… … haha.”

I remembered the will my father had told me before returning.

The last thing he said to me before he passed away was definitely… …

“”I’ll do it well”.”

“… … !”

I hurriedly raised my head at the words that came out of my father’s mouth as if he had read my thoughts.

My father was just laughing, probably having fun with me.

“Yeah, I guess. If it were me, I would have said that.”

“… … haha.”

I didn’t expect to hear those words from my father’s mouth again, so I laughed.

That’s nothing special.

However, in some cases, even that insignificant word can become something special. For me, that was my father’s will.

“But the guy who grew up listening to my will… … .”

Father with a cold expression.

“… … I never thought I would have become a filial child with fire attributes that would make me grab my father’s neck whenever he had a chance like this.”

“How are you? It grew up well enough. Now, even if I eat my back, I won’t be eaten by my back.”

“I don’t want you to eat your back, you bastard. Why are you shrugging your shoulders like that?”

“Ah yes.”

I roughly nodded my head at the words of my father who spoke as if he was pathetic.

In any case, it was clearly stated.

This made me feel relieved.

At least I thought that I should speak to my father directly about this matter.

“Then father, Iman Soja… … .”

“By the way, son.”

“Ah, why are you anxious?”

Honestly speaking, it wouldn’t be strange if my father’s staff flew in anytime.

As I felt cold sweat running down my forehead, my father said with a sad expression.

“Isn’t there a woman who promised a future?”

“… … .”

It was a really unexpected question.

I didn’t even think about this to the point of brain freeze, so I just stared at my father like that.

“It’s on my bucket list, but.”

Even when I thought about it, I spat out an answer that was absurd.

Dad narrowed his eyes.

“Is it the right thing to put that on your bucket list?”

“… … .”

Iknow, right.

Come to think of it, it is.
