Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 64

Episode 64

“What what… … ”

Coke Coke.

Even as he said that, he coughed several times. A knight coughing among the knights.

“… … Mileson?”

Harvey looked at the article in disbelief.

Knight Mileson shook his head with shaking eyes.

“Oh no!”

But I didn’t care and went to him.

thud!

Every time I approach, I tap the ground with a staff so that he can’t do anything… …

[It’s not just a demon,]

Set told me, looking nervous.

Know. Because I felt it.

Every time he coughed and was ‘suspected’ by the people around him, vivid demonic energy came out.

“Ahhh… … “

It was so clear that even the paladins around me could feel it… … .

“I am not me!”

deny it at first

he’s not the devil I really don’t think that’s possible.

“That’s right. You’ve got the candidate wrong! As a Holy Knight, I can’t be the devil… … !”

Then rationalize.

Outwardly, the figure seemed quite innocent.

In both eyes, I could see resentment and frustration.

There was a certainty that this couldn’t be the case in the face that was full of distorted.

The most important thing is that at this moment, this knight named Mileson is truly disillusioned with the existence of the devil.

one.

Undaunted by that attitude, I just took a step forward.

Among the knights around, there were those who tried to reach out to him, saying that it might not be.

“stop!”

thud!

i blocked

I shouted, glaring at the surroundings with fierce eyes.

“What counts from Iza is obviously Magi! Isn’t that proof that you’re the devil! You must have learned as a paladin too!”

“… … !”

The devil uses deceit and deception to destroy people.

This trait is the first thing Paladins should learn and keep in mind.

there is no way you don’t know

However, apart from that, when this happens in reality, it is difficult to admit it right away.

That was my current reaction.

It is a response that humans have no choice but to show. However, in the encounter with the devil, that brief moment decides life or death.

… … In some cases, that ‘short moment’ can turn into an irreversible disaster.

thud! thud! thud!

I took it down several times.

At that time, the energy of the world tree spread from the staff and maintained the sanctuary.

So that I don’t have to wait and watch him recover his demonic energy.

“Why on earth do devils like deception so much?”

It kills its comrades, puts on its skin, and dissolves among humans. It’s like it’s instinct.

Their methods of deception were so terrible that even my ego was put on the back burner for a moment.

The first one was painful.

Then it was terrible.

I was desperate at the end.

But once they overcame that despair and filled the place with miasma, they looked different.

“I… … ”

“Stop. I already knew that you were good at acting. But what if I’m sorry about this?”

As soon as I reached his nose, I looked straight into his eyes and spoke as if spitting out.

“I don’t fucking care.”

While saying that, I raised my staff and struck him down.

Looking at it like this, it’s a blow that’s pretty permeated with divine power.

If it’s a demon, it’ll be a fatal wound, if it’s a human, it’ll hurt a little.

Therefore, if you are a human being, you won’t try to avoid this situation where you are suspicious.

but.

“under.”

Kwadeuk!

Something like a black wall suddenly appeared and bounced off the staff.

The wall was damaged, but it definitely blocked my attack for once.

And that means… … .

“I can’t believe it was real… … ”

“What is this… … !”

The paladins’ screams and laments.

Leaving them behind, the knight’s face and skeleton began to twist.

Do you think there is no reason to hide it anymore?

A voice came slowly from its elongated mouth.

[Ah, really.]

He seemed annoyed.

“It was all done, but I put so much effort into it for several years. Where can you ruin something like this?」

‘… … hmm?’

A somewhat familiar tone.

And in a familiar way, in a familiar situation.

I recall old memories in my head. It wouldn’t have been a pleasant memory if it had been entangled with the devil.

“ah.”

A memory passed through my mind.

The words were meant to be blatantly provocative, but to my surprise there was no anger at all.

because i found out

“… … Was it you?”

Laughter leaks out at the identity of this demon that I finally realized.

haha!

Assassination of Archbishop Narun!

okay. If it were you, it would have been possible.

Even among demons with the power of mimicry, he was a special one.

“Delos.”

Delos.

The devil who was called ‘the devil behind the curtain’ before returning is the guy.

* * *

「Do you know me?」

“I am the body chosen by God. I heard that there are mutants who are uniquely gifted with combat abilities among the filthy impersonators.”

thud!

Press once more through the staff.

Then the sanctuary changed its shape and began to strangle him more aggressively.

“Of course, even if it is, there are miscellaneous things that imitate or not.”

Summarize the memories that come to mind.

Delos, the devil behind the veil.

The right hand of the sixth corps commander, Mayril, and part of that woman.

As a being specialized in assassination, he used mimicry as a weapon to assassinate countless factors.

Before the return, there were dozens of important people who lost their lives at the hands of that guy.

It’s not a question of combat power.

His innate mimicry and assassination skills.

Assuming that the opponent did not know him, Delos was the most difficult devil to deal with.

“Ha ha.”

He grinned.

“I don’t like to say that I will catch it… … .」

Kung!

At that moment, the sanctuary shook.

The paladins who were watching everything pulled out their swords in unison. They no longer looked upon Delos as their companion.

evil to be punished.

But even with the paladin in front of him, Delos just laughed.

“Oh yeah. I bet however… … I have no intention of dealing with all of you, either?”

At that moment, Delos’ body slowly began to blur.

Then black smoke began to surround the area.

“Ah ahead… … !”

“Calm down!”

The Paladins shouted without hiding their bewilderment.

[I am.]

And his sharp claws suddenly protruded from the gap in the smoke.

“Because you only have to catch the one you want to catch.”

Two hero candidates are in front of you.

Assassination of Archbishop Narun is impossible as long as his true identity has already been discovered.

If that’s the case, take one of the warrior candidates as your companion.

‘… … That’s what I think.’

But he won’t know.

“Sanctuary Expansion.”

Being here, I already perfectly predicted his thoughts and actions.

Even the law of destruction.

Caang!

For an instant, divine power was concentrated in one place in the sanctuary, and the guy’s nails bounced off.

“hmm… … ?!」

I could feel him hesitating in the black mist.

And that’s scary.

keying!

The light penetrated the place where he was just before. And with him, he heard the sound of urgently rolling on the ground.

‘Is it that way?’

By analyzing the flow of sound and mana, he immediately identified the location of the opponent.

Coordinate analysis is my specialty.

divine power.

Immediately the next attack fell on Delos.

Kwagwagwa!

The ‘dark veil’ that he was so proud of was simply scattered and revealed.

‘I’d rather go well.’

I could feel the man’s bewilderment.

Right now at this moment.

If the devil who planned the assassination of Archbishop Narun was this guy, it would have been better.

If you can finish it off completely here, it’s to finish off one potential enemy assassin.

at the same time.

‘It can significantly weaken the power of Mayril.’

The woman who is hiding somewhere and directing all of this.

Anyway, the guy’s curtain still hasn’t been lifted. I feel that my perspective is limited, but it is annoying.

‘The location is unknown.’

If this is not the case, the speed and accuracy of his attacks will greatly increase.

The holy power generated by the Paladins could not have spread the veil, but he must have expected that.

Scared to finish that thought.

keying!

yet again.

At an unexpected timing, a veil was created elsewhere.

“Ah, the fog is getting more and more… … !”

“It must be suppressed by divine power, but why… … ?!”

The paladins, who were clearly embarrassed, were at a loss.

Even at the center of the Religion, this level of power.

‘It’s probably thanks to the traces scattered down there.’

Calmly examine the situation without panic. Anyway, he had no intention of dealing with all the Holy Knights. Because I don’t have the strength to do that.

That’s why you hide and try to use all your strength when attacking one.

Since the archbishop’s assassination has already gone in vain, he must be thinking of assassinating someone close to him.

I quietly closed my eyes.

For me, a wizard and possessor of divine objects, sensing the mana and divine power around me is more familiar than anything else.

I was sure.

‘He’s after me.’

Paladins panicked and sensed a sense of crisis that they might become the target.

The guy is using it.

waited slowly

head is cold.

However, he trembled and moved his arms and legs unnaturally.

Let him judge that I was embarrassed.

and for a moment.

A sharp energy focused on me, enough to make the hairs on my whole body stand upright.

The mana and divine power around him were trembling wildly.

an instant blow.

Originally, you couldn’t stop it.

one.

Caang!

“… … ?!」

I simply interrupted.

Storm on set.

The power of a divine being that guarantees perfect ‘defence’ once a day.

Even if it was a blow from a devil of that size, with everything in it.

‘Once’ is definitely blocked.

「Uh how… … Heck?!」

I reached out and grabbed the guy’s neck from inside the tent. He was dangling in the air with me holding his neck.

“Keep haha… … Kkeok!」

The thing in my hand was enough divine power to easily turn any demon into ashes.

Even moving would be painful.

“I hate demons. really.”

「Kuhhh… … ?!」

She shuddered and tried to get away from me, but to no avail.

Now you have the right to take someone’s life.

I have no intention of giving it to you from the beginning.

I let out a rough breath and glared straight at the struggling guy in my hand.

No, to be precise… … .

“Meyril.”

I saw a being watching all of this from somewhere no one would ever find.

“You must already be looking at me. Know. That’s what it means to be the Great Devil.”

“… … !」

He opened his eyes wide.

Whatever his reaction, I continued.

“I don’t know how much you intend to play around here, but I don’t intend to let that happen.”

will break

I haven’t seen one of the devil’s plans come to fruition before me.

“< The Spear of Divinity >.”

A pure white window came to mind.

The spear pierced Delos, which was subdued by me without mercy.

“Keep haha… … ?!”

“You sent this guy even after taking a lot of damage anyway?

The spear began to extinguish the demon named Delos.

beyond those eyes.

Thinking of the Great Devil who was probably watching all of this, he grinned.

“therefore.”

final blow.

Ignoring the claws of Delos trying to reach me somehow, I chanted the last spell.

“< purification >

divine magic.

A power that normally would not be allowed to a magician.

A white light burst out of his hand and completely cut off the breath of Delos, who was dying.

“Wash your neck and wait.”

Great mage who transcends by regression
