Episode 154
The contact with Remegeton, which he even prepared to dedicate the bridge to his father, ended successfully.
In the first place, the purpose was simply to obtain information, but since the contract with Remegeton was successful, I could see that I had gained a lot.
“hmm.”
“What’s with that poop-chewed expression?”
Lemegeton asked as he munched on snacks from below.
As the body shrunk, the sense of intimidation disappeared in an instant, as if the mental age also went down.
“lets think. A situation that cannot be prevented despite knowing the predestined doom. Isn’t that tragic?”
“Yeah, that’s bullshit.”
Lemegeton mumbled the candy I gave him as if he was worried.
Looking at it like this, it is a child of that age who is not lost.
Did the true mental age also degenerate at the same time?
“Just in case, I’m saying that evaluating the mind based on appearance is too narrow a way of thinking, contractor.”
Perhaps he guessed my thoughts roughly, he grumbled.
“There is no reason to act as if there is something at the point of signing the contract. It’s just a waste of mental energy.”
“That’s it again.”
Well, from Remegeton’s point of view, I can now be seen as a safe transaction target.
I don’t see any reason to be wary.
“More than that, are you ready mentally? Now, the impressive father-son face-to-face is right around the corner.”
“Hmm.”
I know. You’ve come really close
Remegeton’s ‘time stop’ was still in effect.
But that too was slowly fading away.
…I’m honestly scared
From the point of view of being my father’s son from birth, my father must have already decided at what angle and with what strength he would strike my leg.
The so-called Maestro of Violence.
ahh my heart is getting bigger
If I wasn’t the only one who would be beaten from now on, I would have been able to enjoy it from the side.
“Whoa.”
mentally prepared.
A hero is someone who never gives up in the face of an irresistible threat.
[Stop talking about unnecessary things and just accept it calmly.]
“It’s a mess.”
I decided to calmly accept what Set said.
Gradually, the time that had been blocked began to flow again.
The air in the library shuddered.
cooong!
Then the ground shook violently.
Should I call it instinct?
My legs were tingling without my knowledge.
and at the same time.
Kwaaang!
“Damn Mikhail…!!”
8th Circle Great Mage Advent.
I don’t know why the fire is burning in the eyes of a person called the Archmage, but anyway.
I shouted quickly.
“father! Violence only repeats endless tragedies! You must overcome your hatred, Father!”
“Your mouth is light!”
As if my father didn’t even listen to me, he was ready to swing his staff at any moment.
However, the first thing his father’s gaze turned to was the place where Lemegeton was stored.
Of course, I only signed a contract and did not subordinate Remegeton, so the magic book itself called Remegeton was there.
For a moment, the relief in his father’s eyes passed.
Then he looked at me and clicked his tongue.
“Have you not even read Remegeton yet? Disabling the goddamn barrier was obviously a pretty plausible feat, but… …“
Oh, of course I read it.”
I answered my father’s words casually.
At my words, my father looked at me with his eyes wide open.
“…Did you read it?”
“If you have to say, we signed a contract.”
It was Lemegeton who answered his father’s words instead.
He stood in front of me moving his half-shrunken body.
“…Remegeton?”
Father’s eyes trembled.
Remegeton grinned.
“Yes Aidan. How many years? After 20 years?”
“…You mean you really made a contract with my son?”
“yes. Unlike you and your ancestors, who have long neglected me as a danger.”
Lemegeton laughed.
Just like our father and son, his bright red eyes shone with a flash.
“Except for the occasional visit from you to obtain curious knowledge, I was left alone.”
“….”
“You know Aidan? Loneliness is a very terrible disease. Even for a magician like me.”
Instead of answering, my father just silently glared at Remegeton.
I even felt that it was a little disrespectful to say that it was a look of respect for an heirloom that had been passed down from the ancestors.
Remegeton shrugged his shoulders, as if he was used to that look.
“What do you understand? Although I’m not a full demon, I was associated with it in my birth process. And that… …It would appear that my creator had something to do with the devil.”
“I’m not asking you to understand I left you unattended.”
“Ah I know. As a result, your son signed a contract with me, so I have no complaints. but…”
Remegeton pointed at me.
“If what you’re worried about is that my contractor is disappointed in the family because of me, I’ll let it go.”
“Mikhail.”
My father called me in a slightly subdued voice.
“Did you see something about Lemegeton? What is the source of this magic book and why… …“
I don’t know the details, Father.”
We know that Remegeton is related to the devil and is infinitely close to it.
However, I don’t know exactly what secret history is entangled with the family.
I have some guesses, but… ….
I have no intention of confirming it as ‘truth’ right away.
“But one thing’s for sure, whatever the source, it’s not particularly important to me.”
“Even though you are a warrior?”
“If I were not allowed to exist, would God have chosen me?”
“…Uhm.”
I understand your father’s concerns.
The tradition that magic is a science created in the process of studying ‘devils’ and fighting against them is quite famous.
In that position, how would I react if the ancestor of the family and the devil were related?
It is a natural concern for the father.
“it’s okay. I do not resent or despair the family over such things, and I will not do so in the future either.”
“…haha.”
Father let out a bitter laugh.
“You mean you won’t regret even the truth you don’t want?”
“What if I was born either way? Even if I don’t want to, I have to struggle.”
“You are right.”
Father nodded.
Then he looked towards Remegeton for a moment with complicated eyes and then said to me.
“Succeeding in the contract means, at least in part, that Remegeton can stand still and go outside.”
“For now, we decided to limit it to the mansion. Is our mansion a bit large? It’s not a bad story from Remegeton’s point of view.”
Remegeton nodded at my words.
“Yeah, I have no complaints. I’ll be quiet, so don’t worry!”
“For now, let’s do that.”
After answering, my father looked at me.
“good night. As the family head, I will admit that you have good reasons for approaching Remegeton.”
“thank you.”
My father accepted my insistence more easily than I thought.
good night.
Now that I have achieved my goal and my father seems convinced, it’s time to wrap things up.
“Father, I’m sorry for suddenly barging into your family. But isn’t that what a warrior’s mission is? Originally, things in the world don’t always go the way you want them to.”
“okay.”
“It would be nice to resolve the conflict between father and son, but I must fulfill my mission as a warrior for those who are suffering even at this moment. Of course, I believe that my father, a great great mage, would understand. Do you understand? Yes, I have no doubt that a great man like my father would understand.”
I quickly finished my long talk.
Alright, that’s all you need to say.
“Then stop…”
“Son.”
Then my father called me.
“Where are you going?”
“Haha, what are you saying all of a sudden?”
“this.”
My father tapped his leg and told me.
“I have to leave this. Where is this guy trying to slip away?”
“….”
Dad was laughing.
very bright
However, if there is one thing that worries me, it is that the hand holding the staff is full of strength.
“Do you know what an equivalent exchange is?”
“It doesn’t sound like a very important story, Father.”
“Listen to your father’s teachings. It means that in order to get something, you have to pay something of equal value. It is the eternal truth.”
“Ah yes.”
Tuduk.
Father’s sleeve was torn.
He couldn’t overcome the sudden muscle expansion.
At the same time, the staff began to resonate loudly.
Ugh.
“Right now, my father’s heart is asking me to forgive you. But think about it, son.”
Father listened to the staff.
“Here, this staff is telling me not to forgive.”
“I don’t think the staff is something you use for that purpose.”
“In the language of the eastern continent, it was called Manryu Gwijong. If you use anything like a blunt weapon, it becomes a blunt weapon. As a great mage, is there any need to confine this to the frame of a staff?”
“hmm.”
There seems to be no room for negotiation.
“It can’t be helped.”
“It can’t be helped.”
yes it is unavoidable
therefore.
“< Teleport >.”
let’s bounce
Because my legs are precious.
At the same time, my body moved to the place of the spatial coordinates I entered.
A clear blue sky without a single cloud greeted me with a strong wind.
Even though my father expected the option of me jumping, he probably didn’t even anticipate that it would be mid-air.
[wow…You really run away, but there is no hesitation.]
“It’s because you don’t know your father.”
My father is a do-it-yourselfer.
If you break a bridge, even if it’s your son’s, break it.
It’s not for nothing that he was nicknamed the Walpurgis bloodthirsty in his youth.
“I didn’t inherit my father’s temperament, so I was born with a pretty gentle personality, but my father is different.”
[…] …Gentle?]
“For now, I have to hide myself and go slay another demon. By that time, your anger must have subsided. It’s okay if you sneak back at that time.”
Well, I think it’s the perfect plan.
My father will have forgotten by then. No, at least your anger will subside.
“Whoops, perfect. Contract with Remegeton Perfect Location Selection! This proves that I survived perfectly!”
My mouth moved first in the exhilaration of being completely out of the crisis.
But then.
“…uh?”
The body does not move.
A situation you can’t understand yourself.
With trembling eyes, I struggled to find the cause of the situation.
what? what the hell is the situation
“I stopped you son.”
“father?”
I heard my father’s voice.
“How did you feel? I thought I ran away, but how does it feel to be caught by this father like a knife?”
It’s as if time has stopped.
can’t move
My father held up his staff and looked straight at me.
“From now on, I won’t spend a second to finish you off!”
“ah.”
I’ll turn, really.
I was able to organize my mind only after seeing the staff getting closer every second.
…okay.
Isn’t there no child in this world who beats their parents?
* * *
That time.
The four meat shields that were willing to sacrifice themselves to stop the Marquis came to their senses.
His whole body was sore, but he could still move, as if the Marquis had lost his strength.
As soon as she came to her senses, Eileen cautiously asked Lian.
“…Ugh, did Mikhail succeed as he planned?”
“well. But if it was him, I think he would have succeeded. Aren’t you that kind of guy?”
As a result, no matter what happens, he is a guy who achieves his title.
None of the four here thought Mikhail would have failed.
Then the butler shouted.
“Oh look at that!”
“hmm? What is it?”
Nostra, too, could not help but admire the scenery beyond the window with her eyes wide open.
sparkle.
“Yoo Yoo-seong…?”
“It’s a meteor!”
A meteor in this bright broad daylight.
But it was definitely a meteor falling from the sky.
“But why is the color of the meteor red? Have there ever been meteors like this?”
“You don’t know, Princess. There are many things in this world that cannot be explained with human knowledge, right?”
After saying that, Ryan closed his eyes and folded his hands.
There is a myth that if you make a wish in front of a meteor, it will come true.
Whatever it is, it’s not bad to try it once.
‘Please, Mikhail, I hope he will become a common sense…’ …’
It wasn’t just Rihanna.
Not only the butler, but also Viscount Nostra and Eileen quietly made a wish.
‘I hope that magic (physics) will reach a higher level this year… …’
‘Please… …I hope Master won’t come back for 10 years.’
‘Please make this journey a normal one.’
Everyone’s wishes came together and led to a meteor.
Directly towards the beautiful meteor named Mikhail… ….
“Fuck.”
Today, the day of the Marquis of Walpurgis was truly peaceful.
Great mage who transcends by regression
