The great mage who transcends by returning Chapter 223
The dragon’s threatening force just before began to crumble.
It seemed like it was just a mirage from the beginning.
“Heh heh runaway…The Dragonians looked at the
scene in disbelief.
No wonder.
The ‘runaway’ caused by the clan was never easily calmed down.
In the first place, the method of intervening in the mind of the target is not a small risk.
It was difficult to do, but if done wrong, it could be eroded by the curse that the entire clan is suffering from.
But it worked perfectly.
“…I can’t believe it.”
Having watched it all for a long time, they could now understand how absurd that man had done.
Truly a magical play.
What’s even more amazing is that the people who have done this do not even show that they are having a hard time at all.
It seemed like he just did the right thing.
Humans only slowly descended from the sky holding Seliord, who had returned to its original form with both arms.
without the slightest hint of difficulty.
The dragonians around him looked at him with curious eyes.
What is the identity of that human being?
What the hell was his true identity, so that he could calm the clan’s rampage so easily?
At that time, the shaman slowly walked out of the hesitant crowd.
She greeted the human descending from heaven with a polite attitude.
“Thank you, savior.”
“…Old savior!”
“That person is the savior?”
The Dragonians looked at the ‘savior’ with agitated expressions.
No matter how they looked at it, the savior simply handed Seliord over to the shaman with a calm face.
“There is no danger to life.”
“Ah, I’m glad. this time…I was quite worried because it was not planned.”
A shrine maiden who was relieved while sweeping her chest.
However, unlike her, the others could not hide their embarrassment at the sudden situation.
Why the hell did that human become a ‘savior’, what exactly was his true identity, and how was he able to solve the runaway so easily… ….
I don’t know anything.
However, as long as the shaman recognized him as a savior, he is a savior.
A shrine maiden was such a being.
‘saver.’
After a moment of bewilderment and astonishment passed, hope belatedly bloomed in their heads.
The savior certified by the shrine maiden!
what is a savior
Aren’t they the existence of the promise to bring them out of this terrible punishment?
In addition, the word also meant that he was the one who would give freedom to Apophis, who had been suffering for a long time!
one of the dragonias asked.
“Mistress, is that really the ‘savior’ in that revelation?”
“That’s right.”
“iced coffee…!”
Shaman’s Recognition!
Then there can be no doubt No, no doubt!
The Dragonians looked at the ‘savior’ with a thrilled expression.
“Does salvation finally come to us too!”
“The ancestor’s secret wish is finally… …!”
At once, the atmosphere around them brightened. They have been patient for a very long time.
It is not for nothing that they persevere in mysticism while being confined to such a place.
Dragon’s Blood Runaway.
The anxiety of not knowing when they would become bizarre and sweep the surroundings kept them locked in this village.
That’s why I hoped endlessly.
A savior who will one day solve this terrible curse… ….
And by doing so, they hope that one day they too can enjoy the outside world without worrying too much… ….
“Savior…!”
The Dragonians shouted in unison.
“Tell me! What should we do!”
“I will definitely follow you!”
If it was the savior certified by the shrine maiden, there was no need to doubt it at all.
To that extent, they trusted Apophis’ representative, the shaman.
So believe in the savior too!
Then, what path will this ‘savior’ show them?
Everyone looked at the savior with eyes full of hope.
and….
“great.”
He nodded, glanced around, and said.
“If you look at it coldly, you cannot be completely free from this current runaway. You yourself know that best.”
“…I know.”
The Dragonians nodded their heads with disrespectful expressions.
If you look at it soberly, yes.
Previously, there was a runaway ‘cycle’ of its own.
So, I was able to prepare to some extent, but recently, even the cycle has become inaccurate.
match!
At that time, the savior clapped his hands and refreshed the atmosphere moderately.
“So let’s do this.”
“how…You mean?”
he looked at everyone
I don’t know if it’s just an illusion, but I felt something strange in the softly curved eyes.
‘what?’
It doesn’t sound like anything bad… ….
…Madness?
no it can’t be
There’s no way you can feel such an ominous aura from a great savior.
Ay no way
All of them shook their heads in unison, trying to deny their first thought.
And the savior’s mouth was opened.
“Let’s start self-isolation.”
“…yes?”
self…what?
* * *
Based on information gleaned from within Seliord’s consciousness, the curse currently plaguing Dragonia is not entirely their own.
There is a separate ‘source’.
Needless to say what the source was.
An existence that exists deep in Dragonia Village.
Apostle Apophis.
That existence would be the source of all these curses.
But it won’t be his fault.
The shaman said that long ago, Apophis had to bear the sins of his family alone.
If that ‘sin’ was a curse… ….
Rather, it could be called a scapegoat.
The problem is that all Dragonians are involved in the curse anyway.
And at the same time… ….
‘This curse is a property that reacts to each other when near.’
I must say that it is very vicious.
Clearly, the being who cast this curse must have been quite angry with the dragons.
Naturally, they create a village like this and make each other depend on each other.
Relationships like that are toxic.
Rather, it is to speed up the progress of the curse and make them suffer from the curse more.
…until the appointed savior comes.
What would be the crime that would deserve such a cruel punishment?
If the subject of this punishment.
If he was a non-evil and rational being, the sin was probably… ….
‘…It’s meaningless.’
Whatever it is, you’ll find out if you talk to the people involved in this incident.
“set.”
[Yes, tell me. Mikhail.]
I asked her as I looked around the area that had become quiet in an instant.
“I don’t think the trials of the grave are set in stone.”
[What is it? In the first place, all the tombs I have been through so far have been like that.]
“It was like that. but….”
Until now, the main content of the ordeal was to literally test the ‘qualification’ to pass on the sacred object.
But what about this one?
“This time is like the aftermath of something that happened in the Age of Mythology.”
[…] ….]
To my words, Set did not answer for a moment.
He just drew a small arc around his mouth with troubled eyes.
[Isn’t there such an ordeal? Helping those who suffer in this way is also a necessary qualification for the owner of a sacred object.]
“I’m not saying it’s wrong.”
Well, from a challenger’s point of view, it’s ridiculous to say such a thing.
Strictly speaking, as Set said, the salvation of Dragonia would also be in line with Asar’s purpose.
Speaking of beings who would put such a terrible curse on them in the first place and at the same time arrange arrangements for the future… ….
There is only one thing that comes to mind.
Anyway, the situation was sorted out.
The curse tends to become more severe the more the related object is present, and does not change unless the ‘source’ problem is resolved.
i.e. Apophis.
Solving his problem is at the heart of this ordeal.
“For now, Mikhail, I did everything I was told to do.”
Around that time, Ariandel came towards me and said.
“As you said, all Dragonians are quarantined in their own districts. Miko’s name is also there, so I don’t think they would bother contacting other clans.”
“great.”
Of course, there is no guarantee that runaways will not occur.
However, it should be possible to prevent unnecessary runaways.
The surroundings were quiet.
It was unbelievable that it was so full of life during the day.
I saw other couples.
Butler Ryan Eileen… ….
The atmosphere is a little stiff, probably because they realized that the situation is not so light.
“There is something I need to do first.”
“Is there another problem?”
“Unfortunately.”
Responding to Lian’s words, he recalled what he had heard from Seliord.
It was clearly called the lord of sin.
I don’t know the exact reason.
But it is clear that his words should not simply be overlooked.
He was clearly wary of the presence of demons.
The words of the ‘dragon’ are well worth listening to carefully.
“Maybe the devil intervenes.”
“What is that…”
Ryan said, shrugging his shoulders as if it was nothing.
“The one I’ve always dealt with is the devil. What’s strange is… …“
There is a possibility that the one who will intervene this time is the Great Devil.”
“…!”
At those words, everyone’s expressions, including Lian’s, visibly hardened.
Even the butler hardened his expression as if he was quite surprised by my words this time.
“You mean the Great Devil? I didn’t see any sign of that.”
“That’s why I said it was a possibility. There’s no evidence or anything like that. It just can.”
“…However, it is not without that possibility, so it is worth being vigilant.”
“yes. And maybe if the Archdemon really tries to intervene, he won’t be halfway there anymore.”
The first thing that came to mind was Belphegor.
The Great Devil who has the most impulsive tendencies and can be said to be the most threatening once he has made up his mind.
It’s impulsive, so it’s hard to predict.
Even if it’s the Great Devil, if it’s Enoch’s level, the problem will be solved easily… ….
‘…But I can’t just hope for such a good luck.’
Assume the worst and prepare for work.
i saw you guys
A saintess who was determined and raised in the religious kingdom.
Two swordsmen approaching the Master.
and butler.
Of course, if he made up his mind and intervened, he couldn’t do anything with these four.
But it is possible somehow to buy some time until I solve this problem.
“I don’t think they’ll come this far at all, but they don’t know the future.”
“I’ll keep that in mind for now.”
Eileen took my word for it.
“…You do the best you can. Until then, even if the Great Devil comes, I will somehow block it.”
“okay.”
It’s best if they don’t intervene, but I don’t feel very good about it.
And, as usual, these premonitions rarely go wrong.
“Hey, let me ask you one thing.”
“say.”
“That great devil. Is it difficult to deal with even as a Master?”
“It will be difficult. but….”
It’s been a long time since I thought of the ‘future’ of the guy that must be inherent in Rian.
“Do you remember what the fantasy that planted in you taught you?”
“I remember that.”
Lian nodded.
There is no trace of the puberty seen before coming, perhaps because he felt the gravity of the situation.
“If you remember, your opponent can do it.”
“Even if I can’t win…”
“I can buy time. clearly.”
At that, Lian nodded.
I know this guy’s future.
Even in all kinds of unreasonable circumstances, he somehow grew up and was destroyed with the Great Devil, who had completely found his true name.
That’s why I didn’t try to deny it even when this guy got drunk on his strength and gave off a damn light.
“Then leave it to me.”
I looked at everyone and said.
* * *
“Is the story over?”
Kairian tilted his head and asked.
I nodded and told her.
“Yes, then let’s go.”
“All right.”
She nodded politely and escorted me to the grave.
Abode of Apophis.
There was no hesitation in her steps even in the dark where only the moonlight shone.
I must have been there dozens of times.
“How is Apophis-sama’s condition lately?”
“Not good. You said that this is your last chance… ….”
“This is your last chance.”
It’s not like they called me a savior for nothing.
There was little time left for Apophis to endure, and what appeared in that situation was me.
Reason enough to hang on.
“I think about it from time to time. Wouldn’t it have been different if the ‘progenitors’ of the past had made the right choice?”
“….”
“Isn’t it? We do not know exactly what sin they committed, but it must have been a great sin.”
There was a deep resentment in his voice.
Resentment for making them bear the bondage of this sin.
“Yes, it must have been a great sin.”
“It’s funny to say this, but it wouldn’t have been the case with us today. Great power comes with a corresponding duty… …It’s common sense.”
…yes.
Resentment toward the ancestor of the past for making the wrong choice.
From the point of view of descendants, it can be said that it is a natural feeling.
but well
I don’t know.
Is that resentment justified?
“I believe that the ancestors who committed crimes according to the woman’s words must be receiving the punishment they deserve.”
“Yes…I guess.”
On our way to Apophis’ residence, such a conversation took place between us.
We also got some information.
In the name she called ‘Double-sided Apophis’, ‘double-sided’ meant something.
The shaman is somehow suppressing Apophis’ runaway, and his current condition is in a situation where it will not be strange if it explodes at any time.
…what things like that
And while we were talking like that, the shaman stopped in front of a cave.
“Here.”
There was a huge cave under the moonlight.
Leaving a very ominous energy… ….
She said, facing the entrance.
“Here is his abode.”
I quietly looked inside the cave.
And then, for a very brief moment, a faint light streamed out from the darkness.
