Archmage Transcending Through Regression - Chapter 91
Episode 91
The appearance of Draculion standing up from the coffin wrapped in black energy was the same as before returning.
The power was lower than then, but it should never be taken lightly.
Wasn’t that the time when we all reached our peak?
Beast King, Saint, Fairy King, Hero… … .
And me who reached the 9th circle.
No matter how high it is, it cannot be compared to what it is today.
… … Whatever.
< Ah ah... … . >
Draculion’s gaze, which had been looking around blankly, stopped at Chepesch.
His bloodshot eyes twitched.
< Cepesh my son. >
“… … father.”
Draculion looked at his son and covered his face and laughed.
< Hehehe... … You too. >
The laughter was maddened.
As if reacting to his emotions, a black aura began to surround him. The skinny body became firm and the wrinkles disappeared.
And the black armor wrapped around him.
< You shouldn't be among them. This mansion is full of memories of your mother... … . >
“It was a long time ago.”
Chepes closed his eyes tightly as if feeling sorry for him.
But even for a moment, he stared at his father with determined eyes.
Draculion shouted as if he couldn’t understand his son’s reaction.
< It can be revived! At first it was hard losing your mother. didn't you too But i found a way how I heard him. If only that... … ! >
“That demon is dead.”
Instead, I answered.
< … … What? >
At my words, Draculion’s eyes shook.
“It was destroyed by my hand. Whatever you have planned, it’s not going to come true.”
< What... … Sound! >
“It is exactly what you said.”
I said that and summoned the staff.
Divine power began to purify the surroundings while holding a pure white light.
[…] … Very disgusting energy.]
Set muttered in a subdued voice.
As long as the storm protects me, Draculion’s miasma cannot invade me.
“You are done.”
before even starting properly.
< Not even funny! >
cried Draculion, his beard shaking at my words.
< Clear! The time when my wife smiled at me is clear! The moment to see it again is right around the corner. whatever you... … ! >
“It’s not my business. All I know is that you have perpetrated a senseless massacre and there is no longer any redemption for you.”
Either he was brainwashed and ruined by the devil, or the root of it was his longing for his wife… … .
No reason can be an excuse.
Only the results speak.
As a result, Draculion slaughtered over tens of thousands of innocent people.
that is enough.
“So shut up and let’s be purified.”
< Haha! What are you! >
With what qualifications!
As he shouted, Draculion exploded with madness.
The ground stirred and black ooze burst from his shadow.
< No, it's better! Everything will become the foundation for my reality... … ! >
“Father please!”
Chepes cried out earnestly as if he had not given up hope until the end.
But it doesn’t reach my father.
Eventually, Chepes closed his eyes tightly.
“Sir Mikhail, please.”
“yes.”
I nodded.
“Gladly.”
As soon as the words were finished, Draculion moved forward.
* * *
‘Should.’
Cepes tried to fix his trembling hand and thought.
Jeong as a family.
For a son to kill his father is an unforgivable sin.
Even if there is a justification for it.
rather.
‘It would be better if my father’s rampage was due to simple greed.’
If it was because of the simple desire to covet immortality, it wouldn’t have been so painful.
I wouldn’t have been so desperate.
“Aaaaaaa!”
To dispel such thoughts, Cepes stretched out his spear.
It’s a spear that I’ve trained tens of thousands of times alone, but it’s not that sharp.
Far from reaching his father, the spear only stirred the air.
‘It shook.’
I’ve thought about it so many times.
-Is it possible?
He was naturally recalling what the hero had said just before.
is it possible
Is it really possible for you to sever ties with your father?
possible.
I made that promise dozens of times.
but at the same time.
-Cepesh, please.
A mother who believed in herself and did not let go of her hand until the last moment.
I still remember the warmth.
Even after becoming this cursed body of immortality, still.
“father!”
< Come here son! >
Draculion stretched out his hand.
< We are a family! How can you not understand the thought of being with your mother forever! >
Madness.
However, Chepesch couldn’t deny that the madness had a heart for himself as a child.
Madness and denial.
Even if you earn… … .
That’s part of why my father fell for the ‘devil’.
‘Isn’t it sad!’
cried the father.
< Didn't you cry and tell me so sadly when your mother died? you… … ! >
“Ah, I know.”
It was a weak heart when I was young.
he told his father
– Please save my mother.
I really didn’t think it could be.
I just couldn’t overcome the sadness of losing someone dear to me.
but he didn’t know
My father was also broken.
He didn’t show it, but he was more broken than his son himself.
If the already precarious spirit had completely collapsed because of his words… … .
If so.
‘I deserve… … ‘
It was then.
“Sir Cepes.”
A voice was heard.
He had been stabbing the spear at random for a long time without knowing what he was stabbing.
“… … Sir Mikhail?”
“it’s okay. You are doing well enough.”
Saying that, Mikhail simply defended himself against the contaminants that had come towards them.
When I let go of my hand once, pure white divine power bloomed in ecstatic splendor and wrapped around me.
“ah… … “
Czepesch was blinded by the ecstatic sight without even realizing it.
Even though my father is running wild in front of my eyes.
for that moment.
I couldn’t take my eyes off this light.
“Being enchanted by this light is proof that you have not yet fallen into darkness. You are right.”
Conflict you are having right now.
worry agony… … .
that all of that is absolutely right.
At that moment, Cepes said with honorific title toward the ‘Hero’ in front of him without even realizing it.
“I am now… … You’re holding back from your father. To the unforgivable heresy… … ”
“So you are right.”
Mikhail smiled bitterly.
He had always been inconsistent, but at this moment he was more like a warrior than anyone else.
“Aren’t they family?”
“Ha but… … ”
“You took a spear against that family. I did that even though I was prepared to live with the burden of immorality.”
As if he understood everything, he said and stretched out his hand.
“That is what a family is like. Even if you fall into the darkness, it is the blood that cannot be severed.”
A pure white halo shone.
Enveloping everything, the holy light cleansed the surrounding pollution.
< No, that child... … is my child! you guys... … ! >
“So that’s fine.”
Mikhail spoke again.
Putting a hand on his trembling shoulder, he passed Chepesch.
“You don’t have to try to carry everything on your own.”
“… … Are you okay?”
“Of course not. I do the purification. There is no reason for you to bear the burden of living with it for the rest of your life.”
“Why… … ”
You would know if you understood this much.
Maybe you may have a problem with this work.
but.
“Please follow me, Lord Chepes.”
Mikhail comforted himself with a bitter smile as if he knew everything.
Instead of dealing with my father, ask for his back.
Tzepes could vaguely sense that it was his own way of consoling himself.
Cepes lowered his head.
“… … thank you.”
“It is natural.”
Enormous magic circles began to surround him as he was enveloped in holy light with his staff held high.
Like the warrior in the legend.
Emitting that bright light, he said to Cepes.
“That’s why there are warriors.”
* * *
Circle Expansion.
Immediately expanded the circle and prepared for battle. In the meantime, Draculion summoned his followers and prepared for an attack.
< I dare... … ! >
“What dare you.”
I smiled and stretched out my hand.
“Multicasting.”
Divine piller.
7th circle divine magic.
As the term suggests, divine magic that summons pillars filled with divine power.
It is a power that is rather a blessing to non-evil beings.
Conversely… … .
< Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! >
Draculion was literally ‘frozen’ in a pillar.
My whole body was burning and my skin was terribly peeling.
but nonetheless.
< Kheu! >
Doesn’t die.
Rather than dying, as time passed, Draculion’s power grew stronger.
Clink!
The pillar of light holding him down shattered, and Draculion shot at me.
‘Is it a window?’
Originally, the Draculion family was a family of knights who used spears.
It’s not for nothing that it’s nicknamed ‘the piercer’.
Bright red blood began to pool in his hand in the form of a spear.
But Ryan was faster.
“Where!”
An aura imbued with divine power.
Quaang!
A pure white trail hit the spear.
With a roar, Draculion’s body, which had advanced vigorously, broke.
But Lian wasn’t good either.
“What is this… … ?!”
The guy was pushed back for a while before he managed to get his stance.
Then he looked at me with an expression of disbelief and said.
“… … Isn’t this a state where you can’t completely digest your strength?”
“Oh, that’s right.”
“How strong it will become if it is completely digested… … ”
“Well, it should be enough that you won’t be pushed back even if you have a confrontation with about three masters.”
“… … crazy.”
Lian muttered as if she was fed up.
I was so overwhelmed with just one master, but three of them.
Of course you’ll be pissed
“What are you going to do?”
The butler asked while dealing with Draculion using magic.
It seemed that he was quite stable, and he seemed accustomed to using the magic of the 7th circle.
“It has to be destroyed.”
“I know that it is a monster that symbolizes immortality, but it is impossible to extinguish it… … Oh no.”
Before he could finish his words, Draculion rushed in.
The butler burned Draculion right away with the magic of the 7th circle.
< It's useless! >
His body immediately recovers to its original state.
No matter how much I hit it, it was of no use.
You recover quickly and raise your body.
Tsk and clicked his tongue, the butler said.
“Are you recovering right away?”
“I guess so.”
An opponent with no common sense.
“So it takes time.”
“I guess there is a way.”
“Oh, the effect will be certain.”
At my words, Lian straightened her posture again. The aura on the sword still burned brightly.
“That means… … You mean we just buy time?”
“Oh right.”
At my words, Lian kicked off the ground and left.
I don’t think I need to hear any more.
Caang!
< It's ridiculous! >
Immediately, I heard the sound of Draculion and him colliding.
Even if it’s a polluted area… … First of all, since I protected it with divine power as well as the magic tools I gave it, I think it could last for quite a while.
‘I’ve grown quite a bit.’
When I first saw it, it showed a lot of immature sides, no matter how next-generation swordsmen, but now it has calmed down quite a bit.
It has come to resemble the ‘Lian’ in my memory.
– Cre.
While Lian was buying time by dealing with Draculion, Draculion’s followers advanced.
He was ready to tear me apart with all sorts of weapons.
“< Firewall > multicasting.”
A wall of flames created by the butler blocked them.
“How long can I last?”
“Almost done.”
It was then.
-Ah!
Through the wall made by the butler, the members of my family shot at me.
The black sword came right in front of me as I prepared the magic.
but.
Kwadeuk!
“I will help.”
A sharp spear pierced the family.
It was Chepes.
He said as he pulled out the spear that had pierced his people.
“Please. Please.”
Cepes said earnestly as he watched Draculion staring at him from beyond his followers.
“Rest to my father.”
Time has passed.
The three who stood in the way of Draculion were not yet as strong as in the first life, but they were all talented people with rich potential.
It was enough to buy time.
and.
“… … good.”
I clenched my fists tightly, feeling the ‘outcome’ flowing slowly through my fingertips.
done.
The final preparations to purify the monster were completed.
Great mage who transcends by regression
