Episode 40
“Hey, divine power.”
My father still looked at me in disbelief.
A storm rolling around me.
As part of the old gods, the divine power contained in this ‘storm’ is by no means small.
of course.
“It is not perfect. It means that it is still not enough.”
“It is only a matter of time!”
Then Archbishop Alley exclaimed enthusiastically.
“Even if it hasn’t been captured, the energy in Confucius’s body is definitely a blessing from God!”
“Uh um…”
Father salivated at the Archbishop’s enthusiastic words.
There was no way he could say anything else when the archbishop of the church state, not someone else, said that.
“Your Excellency knows best that mana and divine power are difficult to coexist.”
that’s common
God does not allow magic to those who receive his blessing.
And vice versa.
It’s not that magic is heresy.
It’s just that God didn’t allow ‘two blessings’.
At least, that’s how it is written in the doctrine of the Holy Church.
However, there is the only existence that does not apply such obvious laws, and that is the warrior.
Father frowned.
“So you mean my son has to become a warrior?”
“Isn’t Confucius also what you want?”
The archbishop said to his father with a smile.
“You want to do your job. In fact, you’ve already accomplished the feat of annihilating the Prime Evil. I am only telling the truth.”
“Hmm…”
My father thought for a while and looked back and forth between me and the archbishop.
then asked me
“Are you going to die for God?”
“It can’t be.”
I shrugged and said.
“Where is Walpurgis from such a family? As I said just now, it will be Kyoguk, not me, who is in a hurry now.”
“Hmm…“
I have no intention of depriving the Church of the right to choose my colleagues.”
Until now, all the characters around the hero have been determined according to the will of the Gyokguk.
But I didn’t mean to.
I only take my people as my colleagues.
“So did you save it?”
“Are you there?”
I pointed at Lian, who was staring blankly in my direction from the corner.
Then he looked at me with eyes that said what bullshit he was talking about.
“Son, from the look in your eyes, don’t you think it is?”
“No, that’s right. Even after all this, as a condition of cooperation, you decided to hand me something ‘great’!”
I glanced at him, daring to emphasize the word ‘tremendous’.
I should have figured this out.
I mean, I have no intention of pampering you without paying.
“Uh um…Lian
, who rolled her eyes at my words, nodded softly.
“…yes that’s right Come to think of it, that seems to be the case.”
I happened to… ….
The guy who looked around in vain with that nuance pointed at me and said.
“Well, I’m not in a position to tell your Excellency, but this guy keeps his word.”
“….”
“I don’t make promises I can’t keep. What kind of personality is this world’s dog… …Oh sorry.”
“It’s okay, Lian. I know you’re an asshole, so keep going.”
“Ah yes.”
Ryan spoke again.
“아주 개새끼인 건 맞는데 약속을 어길 놈은 아니에요. Not a fool who would jump into the impossible without calculation.”
“Hmm…“
Your Excellency, the parent, would know better than I do, but that’s what I mean by watching him from the side, sir.”
At that, my father frowned.
But surprisingly, he didn’t seem too worried.
Dad looked at me and said.
“Still, as a father, I can’t help but worry about you.”
A father shaking his head with an expression of genuine concern for his son.
Then he glanced at the archbishop.
“But if the Archbishop here really makes a promise, there’s no reason not to follow your will.”
‘Ha, did you think of this too?’
He had shown signs of worrying that he didn’t fit in well, but it seems that he was definitely about to show condescension.
You’re shrewd.
My father said to the Archbishop, holding the mood for nothing.
“I will ask Archbishop Alley.”
“Tell me.”
“Can you stand on the side of the ‘Hero’ rather than the Religion?”
It was a very heavy question.
A question that could be considered a great disrespect, especially considering that it is a question to an archbishop who is in charge of one axis of the church.
one.
“I don’t. You dare to swear to God.”
The archbishop continued without hesitation.
“That Archbishop Arley. I swear I will definitely support and help Confucius as a warrior.”
“Seriously. If you have sworn to God, there is no doubt about it.”
Father nodded.
That’s what it means for a priest to swear on the name of God.
Having been convinced that far, the father smiled and said,
“Then I won’t stop you, so do whatever you want.”
“yes.”
I nodded.
Yes, if you have laid the plate this far, there is no reason to hesitate any longer.
“I’ll do whatever I want.”
I replied with a grin.
* * *
After talking with the archbishop, the father disappeared immediately.
He probably went to the imperial palace.
You said you had personal business to deal with.
Of course, I still haven’t finished my work yet.
“Give it to me.”
After a while, Lian burst into my room and said so.
“There is a reward that I’m satisfied with, so I guess you did it like that.”
“of course.”
As much as he was simple ignorant, he was very thorough in this promise.
Even knowing that, the reason I proceeded with the work without asking the guy’s will was because I originally intended to pay that kind of price.
‘But there’s no reason to give it away for free.’
I said pointing to the bed in the corner of the room.
“Lie down over there for now.”
“…hmm?”
Ryan’s eyes widened.
“What is it all of a sudden?”
“Because I need to go to sleep.”
I immediately started preparing the magic on the spot.
This task requires more complex work than expected.
The required circle itself is not very high-level, but should I say that it requires a lot of brain work?
The guy still had an expression that he didn’t know why, but he lay down obediently.
“Okay, let’s fuck it up. It’s not the first time you’ve done something stupid like this.”
“Come and have a look.”
I reached out to him and activated the magic I had prepared.
Then, a brilliant light began to surround him.
“I guarantee you that you will not be disappointed.”
At the same time, the boy’s eyes closed.
“Then it should be about 30 minutes.”
I laid him roughly on the bed and sat down in a chair.
Maybe that’s enough.
* * *
“…Where are you?”
Ryan muttered blankly and looked around.
ruins.
I don’t see anything really great.
I could see broken things here and there, but it was a landscape that could be seen anywhere.
But then.
“Welcome to admission.”
When I turned my head to where the voice came from, someone was sitting on an old pillar.
A beard that grows randomly.
I didn’t feel the need to tidy up, but my hair was also messy.
“…Who are you?”
“The owner here.”
He shrugged and pointed around.
“As you can see, it’s nothing fancy. It would be nice to see it as the world in your consciousness.”
“It’s a fake after all.”
“I would love to see it that way.”
The middle-aged man laughed.
Then he jumped off the pillar he was sitting on and picked up the sword he was wearing at his waist.
“Anyway, pick up the sword.”
“Suddenly what…?!”
While Rian couldn’t even react, the man ignored the gap and approached him.
“…?!”
For a prosecutor, ‘gap’ is an absolute thing.
In particular, there was only one meaning that an existence on the level of Lian allowed that gap.
‘Damn, that sounds like he’s way above me!’
where exactly is this
I don’t know what Michael did or why he sent him here.
But I couldn’t afford to think about that.
In the meantime, Lian’s instinct moved her body.
More than anything else, the danger that lies right in front of you.
The thought of getting out of there moved his body.
She pulled out the sword she was wearing at her waist and attacked before the man’s attack could reach her.
one.
“…uh?”
He must have attacked first, but the result was completely different from what he expected.
The one who bounced off was himself.
The hand holding the sword was thrown back behind his head.
In the meantime, the man’s sword was fired straight into his empty stomach.
“What is this…?!”
A number that is impossible without fully reading your actions.
no, it’s not that much
It was good to see that this was Rian himself.
That man is like… …Its existence itself is like its own perfect upward compatibility.
A look of sadness crept over Ryan’s face.
Fu-wook!
I felt an excruciating pain and lost consciousness.
…But that wasn’t the end.
When he opened his eyes, the same scenery greeted him again.
It was like a man sitting on a pillar.
“Welcome to admission.”
Same words as before.
“What is this…Lian
was bewildered but instinctively raised the sword.
Then the man looked at him with interested eyes and said.
“Are you guarding me right away? Hmm, not bad.”
With that, the man jumped off the pillar.
Lian swallowed at the tension rising in her chest without even realizing it.
‘What’s the situation?’
It was the second time, but I still didn’t understand what was going on.
But still, you can’t just sit still.
I decided to take a different approach this time in order to somehow create a different result than before.
‘good. I don’t know what it is, but this time I’m going first.’
Ryan moved first.
After spreading the power throughout the body, it was fired straight at the man.
1 mulière.
In an instant, Lian’s body turned into wind and then split.
reached the front.
But for some reason, the man was still in a defenseless state with no posture.
‘I was conceited.’
If that’s the case, aim for that gap and pierce through it.
“under.”
…I thought.
Fuck!
Until one hit.
The man lifted his slightly drooping knee and took a picture of Lian’s stomach.
“Cheuk…?!”
It is not a force that can come from a human body.
It was like the whole body was like a sword.
The feeling of being pierced by a sword, even though I was only hit on the knee.
“Did you think I was conceited?”
“…!”
“Heh, I don’t think I was even aware of what my training methods were. It’s not even funny.”
A cold voice came from above.
And then there’s that creepy metallic sound.
Keying.
“Let me die one more time.”
Chew!
Again, I lost consciousness for a moment.
* * *
The magic I cast on Lian is not that difficult if you look at it in itself.
fantasy magic.
If there is a little difference, it is a fantasy magic created for only one existence called ‘Lian’.
okay.
The main ingredient of this magic is not the current Lian.
Lian was the ‘last swordsman’ before the regression that I remembered.
In short, it is the boy’s future.
He’s probably repeating the confrontation with my future several times in his fantasy right now.
“It’s time to wake up… …”
then.
“Fuck!”
As soon as I finished my words, the guy in the bed suddenly woke up.
Then he immediately shouted at me.
“Hey Mikhail!”
“Oh yes. Did you have a good trip?”
Looking at his face, he seems to have gone well.
He yelled at me with red bloodshot eyes.
“Send it back! I think I can get a shot this time, so again!”
“Stop bullshit.”
Looking at the reaction, it certainly didn’t seem that bad.
“It is no use simply repeating it. When you have time to come, constantly review what you just felt in reality.”
“…Do you want me to copy it?”
“Yeah, I think you’ve gained a lot. It is a story to try one more time after endlessly studying what you have gained there in reality.”
I’ll have to move again from tomorrow, but there’s no need to lose my stamina with something like this.
At my words, the guy asked.
“But who the hell am I dealing with? I can’t quite figure out what it really is.”
“Okay.”
In other words, it’s your future.
Anyway.
“I have to move right away tomorrow, so go to sleep. We can talk about small things tomorrow as we go.”
“What religion?”
“That’s the final destination. I’m thinking of going to other places along the way.”
“Anywhere else…Where are you?”
I smiled and responded to the guy’s words.
“Fairy Forest.”
There will be an orb. First of all, I have to make my own staff.
Great mage who transcends by regression
