Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 49
Episode 49
Something More Precious Than Essence.
It was tempting.
To be honest, it was difficult to specify the reward to ask for from the World Tree.
Among those few things, ‘Essence’ and ‘Mistletoe’ were relatively well-known monsters.
However, it is a reward that the World Tree is confident of… … .
“It’s more precious.”
“You seem quite tempting.”
“As many things as possible are usable, the more the better. After all, I have a lot of work to do.”
The World Tree laughed at my words.
“I can guess why you want to get the essence. It’s probably to increase your circle, right?」
“That’s right.”
“My essence contains a huge amount of mana and vitality, so it should be perfect for creating a circle. Circle 6 would be the most efficient.”
As expected from the original owner of the essence, the World Tree quickly grasped my intentions.
she spoke again.
「A single simple integer would be enough to just increase the circle. that… … Considering the price of my life, I think it’s a bit too cheap.
”
“I’ll give you a part of me.”
“… … yes?”
It was then.
Set, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between me and the World Tree, suddenly appeared and shouted.
[Yug, you can’t… … !]
「Yes, that’s right. sister. I will give this child some of my power. Just like my sister did.」
[Mu mu what… … !]
Set lost his composure and babbled again.
[Passing on some of your power as a ‘World Tree’? So how do we maintain order and balance in this world? I barely managed to break free from that disgusting thing and found freedom, so why are you making it hard for yourself right away?]
“That’s it… … .」
The World Tree smiled faintly.
“Isn’t it the same as why my sister chose this child?”
[…] … Ugh!]
At that, Set flinched.
Then he suddenly blushed and hid behind me.
“What are you doing again?”
[…] … It’s nothing.]
Why are you so unnecessarily agitated?
Anyway, I thought about what the world tree would give me.
‘It’s part of the power of the World Tree.’
Originally, it wouldn’t have made any sense.
Same as before the regression.
Basically, a wizard cannot contain anything other than mana.
Even Nara, who reached the 9th circle, couldn’t help it.
It might have been different if he had become the owner of a divine object even before returning.
‘That bastard took care of everything.’
But now it’s different.
If she gives a part of herself, it will definitely help me.
“Now you can contain not only mana, but also the power of other properties.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“So it’s a story to receive. There will be many things for you in the future, and there will be situations that are not easy with only mana.”
Her words were valid.
The power of the World Tree.
It may be different from a new item, but there is nothing to lose because you have it.
“Good. please give it to me.”
“You make decisions very quickly.”
“What are you doing procrastinating? There are plenty of guys to beat.”
No matter how humble you are or what you do, if there is something good, you will receive it.
If you look at the liver unnecessarily, it is just a waste of time.
“Thank you.”
“That’s true… … It’s cool.”
The World Tree looked at me with a strange expression and then cut off his long hair.
“Come on, take it.”
“Hair. It’s symbolic. Can I eat now?”
“No, don’t eat it,”
she said, looking at me with a cold expression.
“Tie it around your wrist. This place is different from reality, so my power will dwell in you with that alone.”
“Hmm.”
new possibilities.
That was what I was holding in my hand right now.
If I had to pick the most obvious change for me after returning, it would be the world tree.
‘A lot of things will change.’
Now, with this, the world will change in a form that I do not know.
As long as the world tree exists, the world will maintain a minimum deterrent.
That’s how much time I’ve bought, but I’m sure the guys who have been holding their breath until now will come out.
Maybe it’s because I didn’t say anything.
the world number asked.
“Are you feeling a bit reluctant? I understand.”
“No, it’s not like that.”
My thoughts have ended here.
If an unexpected situation arises, it is enough to adjust the plan accordingly and move.
I immediately tied her hair around my wrist.
“What can I do now?”
[You know what wizards do. to sit down and concentrate. If you do that, they will come together on their own.]
Set said while sitting on my shoulder.
[Well, after all, it’s only a small part of Yug’s power, so it’s meaningful to pioneer a new path.]
I quietly closed my eyes.
autonomous circulation.
It has been an annual event that has been held countless times, but this time it is different from usual.
‘The power of the world tree.’
How will that change?
When the inner mana was circulating like that.
flinch.
A response came from the hair of the World Tree that was tied around my wrist.
It gradually climbed up my wrist to my chest and began to settle down near my heart.
And slowly.
It spreads to circulation points throughout the body and begins to mix with mana evenly.
‘Hoo.’
Is it like this?
There is no specific rejection.
The power of the World Tree spread throughout the body, healing the wounds torn by unreasonable actions and restoring the circle.
Comfort filled my body.
However, I myself know best that I should not settle down here.
6 circles.
Even for future plans, we need to reach that stage at this opportunity.
In particular, the power of the World Tree is more valuable than the essence.
It’s not just about adding a new quality of power. You have to go to the next step.
Immediately, he tried to use the power of mana and the world tree to form the sixth ring.
A road I’ve already been to.
It’s never difficult.
The difference is that unlike in the past, the time to forcibly enter into a circle is brought forward… … .
‘A margin of error like that is enough to handle.’
The mana that had been circulating throughout the body for an instant began to rotate rapidly.
Mana gradually increased the circulation speed with the momentum to break the balance of the body.
Originally, the speed at which it would not be strange even if the inside exploded and became a rag.
However, the power of the World Tree restores the interior faster than that.
At the same time, the ensuing excruciating pain was also greatly alleviated.
sixth ring.
The sixth ring, which was slowly being created, began to blend into the existing circle.
‘now.’
At that moment, the speed of merging circles was temporarily increased.
thud!
A powerful shock shook my body.
But he shuts down his moaning with his mouth closed.
How many times did you repeat the process?
In my own world, where I can’t hear the voices around me.
‘Good.’
I’ve never liked anything too crowded.
In the rest that came after a long time, I focused on myself.
6 circles.
I hadn’t thought that it was a stage that could only be reached by putting so much effort into it.
continued to fall in
I meditate on myself and at some point I just think about it.
fun.
Is this really a thought and consideration that is entirely confined to Circle 6? no it won’t be
Isn’t it all connected?
It’s not like they’re all separated.
The process of reaching the 6th circle is also not exactly the same.
Thought after thought bites its tail.
Time passed just like that.
and… … .
“under.”
After opening my eyes, I was able to intuit one fact.
“You’ve moved up a notch.”
I felt six rings.
* * *
After talking with the World Tree, I returned to the city of elves.
As soon as I returned, I saw the happy elves, both you and I.
“Wow!”
“This is life!”
Where did their usual quiet and calm appearance go? They expressed joy in various ways.
“… … her.”
Of course, I knew I would be happy because the world tree was back, not another existence… … .
“I’m alive, these ningimisibs!”
“Congratulations, 32 consecutive bursts of explosive arrows!”
“hmm.”
Looking at the elves running amok, I nodded quietly.
It’s a race with more madness hidden than I thought. this is true
This is also the first time I’ve seen it.
But I couldn’t help but be quite excited too.
But then, the eyes of the elves who were expressing their joy turned towards me.
“It’s the agent!”
“The agent has arrived!”
They swarmed towards me with excited expressions, and suddenly grabbed my body and began to float me upward.
“Long live the agent!”
“Long live the world best!”
“… … .”
I didn’t even think about this… … Maybe the elves I knew before returning were a bit different from the elves at this point.
‘Well, the elves at that time were already seriously injured.’
robbed and abused
A tribe that withers away day by day, losing even their pride.
But now it’s different.
The elves did not lose the World Tree.
Their pride is still intact, and their home is also intact.
that there is a possibility.
Only those who have experienced the devastating reality can know how great it is.
That’s why I decided to quietly join in the joy of the elves.
It was only after being lifted up in the air five more times that he was able to be freed from the elves.
I looked around.
clumsy festival.
In front of the sudden slope, they danced, laughed and shared joy as best they could.
“Hmm… … “
How long have you been watching them like that?
“How are you, Agent?”
“Aren’t you the Fairy King?”
The Fairy King came towards me.
He, too, had a much brighter expression and his chest was open.
“Agent WhoWho is calmer than I thought. Well, it’s not for nothing that he made him his agent.”
“What’s new?”
I smiled and turned my eyes to the elves’ festival.
I asked the king
“Are your shoulders lighter?”
“It got lighter. Whooping, it feels as light as if a lump of iron was removed from the body.”
“This is not the end. The World Tree has been freed, but many enemies will target her.”
“I know.”
“Until now, the burden of the elves has been heavy. And freed. However, it will never end there. New burdens will come to you in the future.”
servant of the devil.
It must have felt that the remnants of it had perished without being able to fulfill their duties.
The great demons hiding all over the world will change their plans and make other moves.
It’s just arrogance that I can predict and solve them all without exception.
“What should we do?”
“We must protect the world tree. It was like that in the past, and it is like that now.”
Of course, I do not intend to make such a principled story.
“Prince Jihad is talented. Teach him and arrange a meeting with the spirits. A prince has the potential to make a pact with their king.”
“… … You mean the spirit king?”
“Yes, as long as the World Tree is resurrected, it should be easier to connect with the spirits. It will not be impossible.”
I’m sure.
Jihad will make a deal.
Just like he did before returning.
“… … You really think highly of my son.”
“Because he has that kind of talent.”
At my words, the Fairy King laughed.
After all, what father would not be happy to hear his son’s praise?
The Fairy King and I watched the festival like that for a while.
– My father was a really good man.
Before the return, Jihad used to say such things whenever he had a chance.
‘That’s right.’
The current Fairy King was a good elf.
You did really well to save it.
But that was then.
“I’m sorry, sir, but can I excuse you?”
“… … hmm?”
I nodded.
There’s no way a person like the Fairy King would do anything stupid.
The king stepped forward.
“Listen, everyone.”
With his solemn voice, he drew the attention of the elves without spoiling the atmosphere of the festival.
“The World Tree has resurrected. We lifted the old darkness and found our pride again.”
“Glory to the World Tree!”
The elves cheered.
Amidst the cheers, the king laughed.
When the cheers died down, he spoke again.
“However, none of this is our credit. The World Tree has sent its agent, and by Him we are saved.”
With those words, the king turned to me.
Oh, is this a pity?
“We had an agent with us. However, it is not possible for us to just receive it.”
The king declared in front of everyone.
“We also have to work with agents. We will help as much as we receive!”
In silence, the king shouted.
“That’s why I declare here. As allies of the agent ‘Mikhail Walpurgis’, we will not be confined in the forest from now on!”
