Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 70

Episode 70

Being a candidate or whatever, the title of a hero is incredibly convenient.

I was able to enter the tomb of the first warrior without difficulty.

[It’s the first time… … .]

Set muttered intriguedly. She looked around the inside of the tomb, her eyes shining.

The largest tomb in the country.

The tomb was a wide meadow.

There is an elaborately carved stone statue of the first warrior in the center, and a stone tablet recording his life is placed next to it.

And the warrior’s coffin is behind it.

Other than that, it was full of fields full of flowers and grass known to have been favored by the first warrior in his lifetime.

The reason why this place is like this is that the tomb that the warrior preferred has this kind of freewheeling atmosphere… … .

(Omitted below.)

… … .

Anyway, to put it simply, it’s a dirty wide grave.

[It’s really unnecessarily wide.]

“The first hero just wanted to make a simple flower bed, but the church went a little overboard.”

kinda bad

Even the first hero himself would not have known that he would use the entire place as his own tomb as he casually said, ‘Hey, it looks nice here!’

Then Set asked.

[Come to think of it… … How many generations will you be if you become a hero?]

“Eight generations.”

I answered briefly.

Whenever an important prophecy comes down or an ominous sign spreads, the kingdom selects a hero to overcome the crisis.

8 s.

So far, there have been seven warriors in total.

All of them were selected when the world was in crisis or chaos, and they have handled the crisis with all their responsibilities.

world chaotic crisis.

Even now, it is certain that that was the nominal reason.

The reason for selecting a hero in the first place was also born from Cassandra’s prophecy.

[Hmm, are you saying that there have been seven heroes so far? It seems that the world was quite dizzy.]

“That’s right. However, the biggest crisis was the first generation and the 4th generation. And even though there were seven of us, that period was quite long.”

The birth of a warrior means that the world is in chaos after all.

The history of the country goes back over a thousand years. That there were only seven warriors in that history.

Even that, the world-level crisis was only about the first and fourth generations.

4 generations 600 years ago.

After that, large-scale conflicts between nations or the birth of anti-order coalitions.

Those things were a crisis.

The intervention of transcendent beings such as demons did not take place for 600 years after the 4th hero.

okay.

“The world was ‘relatively’ peaceful.”

comparative peace.

In any case, that peace gave many people happiness, but at the same time it also gave them ease and laziness.

Humanity did not try to unite.

Kyoguk sank into its own self-righteousness.

Heroes still had a special symbolism, but the religious government that selected such warriors had collapsed.

A really funny story.

It was all the more so because many things might have changed if the church had fulfilled its duties.

“If the first hero saw this, he would have been able to overthrow the kingdom. It must be quite a piece of shit.”

[Hmm, even I’m getting angry right now.]

Set let out a wry smile.

[Anyway, the tomb of the first hero is right here.]

“That’s right. It is now a source of pollution that serves as a hiding place for one of the demons’ eyes.”

I said that and looked around. Still, once it was said to be the tomb of the first warrior, it was well managed.

Because the symbolism is so great.

the problem is.

[Unpleasant. Not bad at all, but not good either. It’s rather unpleasant

because they’re mixed.] Set shook his head in disgust.

[I’m even more angry that it’s so stealthy that we can’t even notice it except for us. To feel this in a hero’s tomb… … .]

“It can’t be helped.”

The reason I was able to grasp this secret demon is because I have the power of the divine object and the world tree.

Ordinary people would only feel the divinity of a hero here.

‘It doesn’t feel good.’

I looked around and clicked my tongue.

The more I went in, the more so.

The demon’s right eye.

Well, since part of the Demon God is asleep, it’s shocking.

“It would be really nice if it weren’t for the worst… … ”

[Worst case scenario?]

“I’ll tell you once I’m sure.”

I activated the magic I had arranged in advance and began to carefully scan the surroundings.

It’s certain that the demon’s eyes are here, but we need to check the exact location from now on.

while searching like that.

Behind the stone statue of the hero, something was felt in the coffin where the remains were kept.

“her.”

Suddenly, my eyes opened wide.

[Why is that?]

“It seems like my worst assumption came true.”

thud!

As confirmation, he hit the ground once with the staff he was holding.

The energy of the world tree was swirling around and when it reached the coffin… … .

Crisp.

The energy that had spread out disappeared as if it had been eaten by something.

The energy of the world tree was afraid. As if there is something inside the coffin.

[You mean there’s something there?]

“Maybe.”

… … Although it might have been natural at the point when a part of the Demon God was intertwined in the first place.

[Now, wait.]

Set thought for a moment with puzzled eyes… … .

[Certainly the demons didn’t hide the demon’s eyes here.]

“Yes, the possibility that the demon’s eyes were here from the beginning.”

I looked at the coffin and said.

“If it’s a warrior’s crown, it can be considered perfect as a hiding place.”

[Ha, but if a hero means an agent who obeys the will of God, that’s impossible!]

“Why?”

[Eyes of a demon god. If even that is not perfect, there is no way it can coexist with the corpse of a hero. how the hell… … .]

“If a part of the demon had already infiltrated the hero’s body during his lifetime.”

[…] … !]

For example, the battle with the demon god that had reached out to the world long ago.

What if there was a ‘unsatisfied person’ among them that even the first warrior himself did not know about?

[Hwa] Certainly, I think it’s more plausible than saying that two demons severed the connection between God and the world… … .]

“Check it out and you’ll see.”

After saying that, I approached the warrior’s coffin.

If my predictions were wrong, the remains of the hero would be intact in the coffin.

Even though it existed a long time ago, the body of the hero had detailed measures to overcome even that time.

“then… … After invalidating the barrier protecting the first hero’s coffin, I carefully opened the coffin

.

If my expectations were unfounded, let me personally express my sincere apology to the first hero.

But it didn’t have to be.

[ah… … .]

“It’s empty.”

The coffin was empty.

No, it’s not just empty.

It was pierced randomly, as if something had escaped below.

Judging by the traces, it seemed to have happened a long time ago.

[Ah, it’s ruined.]

“No.”

I looked around the hole.

I don’t think it’s bad if you do this.

Rather, it could be said that now is the right time to resolve the situation.

“On the contrary, I’m glad I found it even now.”

Saying that, he immediately threw himself into a hole in the floor.

* * *

Deep night.

Haran sat in a chair and was lost in thought for a while.

The goodness he had shown before the archbishop was nowhere to be found. Cold and cruel red eyes glistened under the moon.

Lotus.

he was special

The younger brother, Delos, could not maintain full consciousness while ‘imitating’, but he was different.

Keep calm and stay conscious.

At the same time, he never reveals his demonic spirit.

Instead, compared to Delos, the fighting ability itself was quite lacking, but it was not a big problem.

Anyway.

“It wasn’t difficult to use that old man, Archbishop… … “

It was easy up until there.

An old man whose self-righteousness has penetrated his soul. Encouraging his ugly nature bit by bit was his specialty.

The problem is then

Apparently not long ago, the archbishop acted according to his thoughts.

The Church began to be eroded by his aura, and Hekau had no influence.

It must have been right in front of me.

Together.

“Little Walpurgis.”

The one who suddenly came to the church.

Mikhail Walpurgis started to break everything.

All the confusion he and his brother had induced had begun to be rectified.

‘Delos.’

The Holy Knights locked the door.

The details of the situation are unknown because they even cut off their connection to each other for perfect mimicry, but they are probably extinct.

I could tell intuitively.

His own brother has already died.

Perhaps at the hands of that damn young Walpurgis… … .

The death of a brother is not sad.

Demons are not beings that are very much bound by things like flesh and blood.

just unpleasant

The very fact that the plan that I had been working on for a long time went awry.

law.

It’s the word he hates the most.

Just thinking about it makes me nauseous.

“I really don’t like it.”

He shook his head and tapped the armrest with his index finger.

In any case, the answer is clear.

‘We have to get rid of that damn little Walpurgis.’

But how?

His mind quickly turned.

‘Shall we ask the old man to use the prophecy as a pretext to pressure him?’

no that doesn’t work

In the first place, the situation that could be prevented by doing something with prophecy has long since passed.

The Holy Knights have already suffered.

If the activities of the Holy Knights have been suspended for reasons related to the devil, it is impossible to move the Holy Knights for any reason.

‘Of course, knowing that, he must have gone to the Holy Knights first.’

He’s a guy with a good head.

I’ve been thinking about the tricks I’ve been using against humans, but it’s not right.

All the things he had been carefully building up to this point didn’t work for this goddamn Walpurgis.

while I was in so much trouble.

He suddenly opened his eyes at the feeling of being stabbed in the back of his neck.

“No way!”

He jumped up from his chair and looked behind him hastily.

Tomb side of the First Hero.

Something was happening.

This… … .

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha!”

Lotus laughed madly.

Maybe it’s because the problem seems to be easier to solve than I thought.

* * *

“I never thought there would be a space like this under the roof. This is a bit surprising.”

I looked around and clicked my tongue.

It didn’t look like it was made with so much effort.

The inside was clunky.

barely enough not to collapse.

Of course, black ooze was sticking to the place where it should have collapsed, blocking it.

The identity of the essence was simple.

Remnants spread throughout the kingdom.

Those disgusting things were wriggling and moving everywhere.

[Disgusting.]

“It’s gotten this far, so even God can’t use a dragon.”

Hekau didn’t simply improvise and build a warrior’s tomb.

A hero who followed his will.

In order to show the utmost respect, he would have placed his body in a space in contact with himself, which is the most valuable in this world.

[In other words, this place is the same as the woman’s body. Well, as long as he is not there, this world will be entirely up to her.]

“In terms of people, the tumor was spreading little by little. In the deadliest part.”

I said so and walked.

After walking for so long, we finally reached the end of the aisle.

huge joint.

A throne made of black ooze.

Sitting on the throne was a very skinny mummy.

A face that was completely dried up with the essence wrapped around it like a cloak.

Among them, the right side of the face was in a particularly miserable state.

– Are you here?

Horrible eyeballs twitched and stared at us.

It raised its head with difficulty and said.

– I was waiting.

simplicity and honesty.

The black mucus that clung to his body stretched out and broke off.

“you are?”

At my words, he staggered forward, then stopped abruptly and introduced himself.

-The one who was called a warrior.

At the same time as he spoke, the slime around him suddenly began to boil.

-I’m sorry Huin. All of this happening from now on is not my intention. The chewing gum has invaded my marrow.

thud!

said the great warrior.

-First, kill me to prove great justice.

Great mage who transcends by regression
