Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 73

Episode 73

When I came to my senses, I was in front of the first hero’s grave.

I don’t know when it came up from below, but the warrior’s crown was also restored intact.

Barriers are also restored.

Maybe Hekau did it.

It would be easy for someone like her to do this.

I slowly got up.

“her.”

The body is surprisingly light.

Is it the stigma effect?

The effect is certain. When I glanced at my arm, I could see a faint flow of divine power.

like a bloodline.

A circuit created with divine power was flowing through his body.

‘But isn’t it still at the level of usability?’

Literally, it has to be accompanied by growth to be able to use something.

Of course, the performance itself is a power that can be seen as great.

Right now, the burden on the circle due to the autonomous circulation has been considerably reduced.

furthermore.

‘At this rate, the burden on the circle expansion must have been considerably reduced.’

Since Circle Expansion was meant to unreasonably accelerate the self-circulation, it could be said that extending the time for a long time was a very difficult task.

However, at this level, it would be possible to significantly increase the duration.

“… … I’ll check the usage later.”

In any case, it is a considerable achievement.

Hekau was moving quickly.

Immediately, the presence of the Demon God felt in the kingdom gradually disappeared.

At this rate, it wouldn’t take long for Hecau to regain its influence over the Church.

“not bad.”

I muttered something like that and looked around with satisfaction.

[Hey, that looks good,]

said Sett from below, nervously knocking on the rocks around the tuk-tuk.

“… … set?”

Oh, and I see, he was there.

[You didn’t think ‘he was there’ or something like that?!]

“Oh no.”

[Looking at the reaction, that’s right!]

Set shouted, pounding his chest in a voice full of annoyance.

[Did you go upstairs? Did you meet that woman, Hekau?]

“Come to think of it, you weren’t taken along with me this time either.”

[Because she stopped it!]

Set shouted, kicking the ground nervously.

[It’s clear that I said something last time and left behind! Wasn’t it famous for being narrow-minded?!]

“… … Hmm.”

Just how much Set had to deal with Hekau.

Suddenly, something literally fell from the empty sky.

right over the set.

Fuck!

[Kahk?!]

Set immediately squeaked like a frog and whimpered.

[What is this… … !]

“Hmm?”

I suddenly opened my eyes wide at the object that fell from the sky.

It was wrapped around some sacred stone, but it was clothes.

Rob, to be exact.

“A saint’s robe?”

[That’s a woman to chew on!]

Set ran amok as he lay face down.

If it weighed Set down like this, there must have been something in the sacred stone.

Tell that kid to fuck you and here’s the gift I promised!

As I approached it, there was a note with such a message on it.

I unwrapped the robe from the stone and immediately put it on.

Huung.

Then, at that moment, it resonated with the stigma engraved on my body, and the robe emitted light.

“Does Her Robe have < Memorize > engraved on it?”

Memorize.

magic record.

It is literally a magic that can be written down and used on the spot.

The magic of the 7th circle by itself.

However, like the symbol that the first hero used, it is not a general memory.

“Heh, is it possible to go up to the 9th circle?”

Well, it’s not like I can use 9 circles right now, but it’s important that I can do that.

Being able to hide extra magic is very important.

[this… … Definitely great. The robe itself has a defensive function, so synergy with the storm should be pretty good.]

“It’s worthy of being the symbol of the first warrior. I got something valuable.”

This is a much bigger harvest than originally planned.

I was only planning to annihilate the remnants of demons hiding in the kingdom, but to think I would receive an unexpected reward in this way.

It’s not bad.

It was certainly not a small thing to get from the church.

Especially since all of these are rewards you wouldn’t have gotten before returning.

furthermore.

“It’s a divine stone… … I

grinned as I inspected the fallen stone with Rob.

This is also a valuable material.

With this amount, you can make quite a few magic tools.

“First, keep it.”

He immediately stored the sacred stone in the pocket of the subspace. It won’t be too late to go back and touch things.

[But you… … Did you get stigmata from that woman?]

“Ah, can you see them too?”

[First of all, I am also a being who has stepped into the realm of God, right? Of course you don’t notice that much. Besides, it’s connected to you… … .]

Set examined every nook and cranny of my body for a moment with worried eyes, then asked cautiously.

[Receiving a stigma transplant means you took that much risk, are you okay?]

“I’m fine.”

[Anything like being sick or feeling fading?]

“There’s nothing like that.”

[Uhm… … .]

Set tilted his head as if it was strange. However, he nodded as if he understood.

[Well, in the situation where you brought me out of the grave in the first place, it’s unreasonable to call you ordinary.]

“That’s right.”

After a simple admission, Set looked at me with his tongue hanging out.

[Anyway… … .]

“Well, let’s go back anyway.”

I turned my back on the grave.

There were no more invited warriors here.

I won’t suffer anymore, and the grave won’t be played by a demon-like being.

First of all, that’s enough.

* * *

“What?”

Lotus had no choice but to stand there, staring blankly at the tomb from a distance.

could not access

I can walk around in the capital of the religious state, but I can’t even set foot in this tomb.

Not too long ago, this was the most comfortable place for him, but suddenly it became this.

That means only one thing.

“That can’t be… … ”

He took a step back.

Because I couldn’t accept the fact that was unfolding in front of my eyes.

He trembled.

‘A part of him… … !’

It’s nothing else, but part of the demon that grew while eating the corpse of the first hero disappeared?

no.

It can’t be.

Lotus continued to shake his head, but the reality unfolding before his eyes was so clear.

I can’t feel the energy of the demon.

Even the remnants of demons scattered throughout the capital were gradually disappearing.

I can feel Hekau’s momentum expanding its territory.

“Cuck!”

He groaned at the sudden stabbing pain in his stomach.

Bright red blood gushed out of his mouth.

“Ahhh… … As the energy of the demon

disappeared, the energy of the god who protects the kingdom began to return.

Then you can’t stand it.

No matter how high his mimicry is and his divine resistance is as high as that of a demon, there is a limit to that. You can’t survive at this level.

“Oh, no… … ”

He came out of the tomb as if he were running away.

It was because I had no confidence to remain sane in front of that horrifyingly divine aura.

At least, I headed to a place where I could still survive.

‘It’s a monster monster… … ‘

I remembered something about Mikhail Walpurgis.

It was clear that the bastard had done all this.

What should I do?

I thought about it dozens of times in my head and asked myself, but I couldn’t come up with an answer.

It is a situation where you have been beaten without a chance to prepare to fight.

Didn’t you consider being caught up in a natural disaster as your own fault?

“Uh what should I do… … ”

Things are completely different now.

Suddenly, his situation was reduced to a time limit. Hurry up and get out of the country, or take a last gamble and turn the situation around.

“Uh uh… … .”

Lotus trembled, clutching her head.

Actually, I already know the answer.

The Great Devil, Mayril, who sent herself here, does not tolerate failure.

Gambling was the only way to survive.

first goal.

However, he soon shook his head.

‘Oh no, not as an archbishop. Now that it’s like this, I need to take a bigger one.’

There is only one being greater than the Archbishop here.

Pope Gregory.

The highest priest and the one closest to God in this religion.

Lotus’ eyes flashed.

Even the trembling shoulders stopped before I knew it.

kill. have to kill

‘Just in time, the general convocation of the archbishops is in two days.’

Until then, it is to hold out somehow and kill the pope at the most important moment.

The odds of success are slim, but that is the only way left.

If I went back like this, it would be obvious that I would receive a punishment worse than death from the great devil… … .

As he walked, Lotus’ eyes shone with a merciless light.

but.

He didn’t know until the end.

“under.”

There must be someone who has been looking at all of that behind the scenes.

He muttered as he sat down on a tree and tapped the staff.

“Did you have fun?”

A cold smile formed on his lips as he looked at the demon staggering down there.

Above the demon’s head, Mikhail thought a lot.

* * *

The two days passed quickly.

Archbishops, spread across the continent, flocked to the capital.

A total convocation of the highest-ranking priests, who are usually hard to see even one.

It is clear that it is a rare spectacle even in the long history of the country.

“You are quite busy. It’s not easy to see this kind of image in the Houhou Church.”

The butler said with his hands behind his back.

“Hey, what is this again?”

Lian, who entered the room while swinging his sword, also glanced outside and clicked his tongue.

“I guess the warrior is great? To be honest, I really didn’t expect it to come out like this.”

“Only you didn’t know.”

“Oh yes yes. I just didn’t know. I was stupid. Are you okay?”

Lian grumbled and answered my words roughly, then sat down in a chair.

Then he grinned.

“Hey, I finally succeeded.”

“success?”

“That damn fantasy. I finally succeeded in getting one shot. I don’t know if it embodied my potential or what, but anyway.”

That’s the answer.

Of course, Rian himself probably doesn’t really seriously think that’s his future.

by the way.

‘Have you already succeeded in giving effective hits? That’s kind of surprising.’

At this time before the regression, Lian had only talent, but at this point, he was not showing any noticeable growth.

This was due to a combination of several factors.

Rather, at this point, I was in a pretty long slump.

But now, instead of falling into that slump, they were growing at a much faster pace.

Then Rian asked.

“But that is my fantasy. Exactly what level is it?”

“Are you roughly the highest level of Master?”

The stage right before the Grand Master.

At my words, Lian’s eyes widened.

“If it’s the highest level… … You mean right before the grand master!”

“It will be like that.”

“Heh heh! You ate one shot at that level of existence, right?”

“After eating oriental medicine?”

“It was shattered.”

Lian laughs brightly and tells the story of her shattering.

“They were tearing them up very tenaciously, perhaps because they were angry with one shot.”

“… … .”

This guy who says he enjoys such an experience is not normal either.

I knew.

“Well, it’s definitely a remarkable growth that I’ve already given effective hits.”

“yes.”

The guy looked at me and said.

“I won’t just fall behind you, this is it.”

“Don’t worry, you’re doing well.”

Really, Lian is doing better than I thought.

I’m afraid I’ll be lazy, so I won’t praise too much.

“Rather than that, today’s hero is selected.”

“So it’s pretty important? Well, in the meantime, I’m not worried because you’ve been doing all the bottom work.”

For two days I walked around pretty diligently. The Holy Knights were blocked and many changes took place.

The archbishops who were neutral also succeeded in enlisting the majority in my side, and succeeded in gaining considerable support from other priests as well.

Now, it was rather Archbishop Killian who was pushed out.

“The selection of warriors itself is not a problem. But the problem is the selection process itself.”

“If it’s a process.”

“It means that no one knows what kind of disaster will happen as all the archbishops have gathered.”

In the meantime, another demon might have entered.

really don’t know anything

“Um… … .”

Realizing the weight of my words, Lian also drooled.

“… … What are you going to do?”

“Nothing changes. I become a hero and fulfill my responsibilities. That’s all.”

The warrior’s duty is simple.

‘To beat the devil.’

First, step by step, starting with the little mouse who hid in the kingdom.

You have to weed them all out.
