The Grand Mage who transcends by regression Episode 227
“Why why me… ….”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry….」
Seeing the dragons screaming desperately, I was seized with a strange feeling.
Dragons are high-level creatures who have lived their entire lives in a high position without understanding the life below them.
They came to experience and understand the ‘life below’.
No, on the contrary, he must have become more accustomed to life as a human being.
On and on endlessly… ….
They have hated their past selves.
It was because he regarded his past self as a stranger, so he was able to hate him so much.
Living beings tend to be stricter and crueler to others than to themselves.
And as much as that, the cruelty will come to them.
[me too…I remember.]
Set sighed as he watched the dragons writhe in pain.
[At that time, the dragons’ arrogance pierced the sky. Of course, they didn’t pass the position of God. But they had the heart that Asar was most wary of.]
“You mean the chosen people?”
[yes. The idea that only they are special and chosen by God.]
The dragons were outstanding.
It’s only natural that you’re born with the talent and body that won’t make you feel inadequate.
But they couldn’t show what Asar wanted most.
Altruism, sense of mission, duty… ….
What would be the meaning if the race that was originally chosen and created as a guardian abandoned that ‘duty’?
That was the reason for the downfall of the dragon.
“why why why…!”
The dragon screamed.
The ground was filled with the bloody tears they had shed.
It doesn’t look very aesthetically pleasing.
Whatever.
“…I understand.”
The pain, regret, and despair they are experiencing right now must be great.
i can forgive
They have suffered enough as ‘Dragonia’ and are repenting for the sins they committed as dragons.
yes i can forgive
[Why do you say you understand?]
“No, ‘I’ understand.”
[…] …Huh?]
Set looked at me with his eyes wide open.
I said as I held the straight staff up high into the sky with hard eyes.
“But will my staff forgive me?”
[…] ….]
“Even if I forgive you, it means that I will not forgive the righteous spirits dwelling in the staff.”
[Isn’t it an evil spirit?]
Uh-huh set. nice words.
I’m not talking like that.
* * *
「Please please…!」
Countless Dragonians screamed as they struggled in pain.
sins of the past.
The enormous disasters caused by choosing ‘bystander’ began to weigh down their souls terribly.
The hatred and hatred they harbored.
They begin to oppress themselves without adding or subtracting.
– why.
– Why did you abandon us?
The karma of the past, which had been neglected due to neglect, has returned.
Countless souls of the victims held onto their arms and legs while shedding tears of blood.
I can’t possibly stay sane.
They are no longer dragons.
Even if the origin is a great guardian, it has been a long time since it existed as a human being through reincarnation.
The sense of alienation that comes when they realize that they are actually ‘dragons’.
How can I come out of this pain and despair?
How the hell do I… ….
“I am….」
At that time, a dragon tried to make an extreme choice as if it could not endure any longer.
「My lord, I dare to ask that my death be worth it…!」
“Be so damn good.”
Pooh!
“Khehe… …?!」
The screaming dragon fell to the ground with a scream.
…huh?
For a moment, all the eyes of nearby dragons were focused on it.
The dragon, which had been knocked down to the point of being a higher creature, was rolling on the ground holding onto its head.
Still, the name is Dragon.
How so easily… ….
“Hmm….”
Then someone walked out of the thick dust.
“I don’t think I’ve fully recovered my identity as a dragon yet, and I’m just recalling my memories right now.”
“…The old savior?」
The dragons, who confirmed the identity of the intruder, stuttered and asked.
“Yes yes. I am the savior Mikhail.”
It was the savior Mikhail who stood at the center of the dragons, answering casually with a staff on his shoulder.
and that’s where it started.
He picked up his staff and started beating the dragons who couldn’t come to their senses at will.
Fuck! Pooh!
“Savior-sama, what is this…!]
[Keuk keuh keuh!]
It didn’t take long for Mikhail to smash all the dragons in the area.
Truly a skilled beating.
The dragons scattered like garbage on the ground lifted their heads with difficulty and looked up.
“Why why…?”
“They play very well indeed.”
A voice that seems to be pathetic.
I don’t know why, but the savior was looking at them with a sad expression.
A calm attitude, as if their despair and sorrow were not part of their job.
But it wasn’t long before they hung their heads.
It will constantly come to mind even if you don’t want to.
I don’t deserve to be angry with them.
‘iced coffee.’
Humanity that would have been sacrificed because of them.
The fact that they are the cause of the tragedy pains them.
If there is even a mouse hole, I want to hide right away. I can’t even look straight into the eyes of my savior.
said the savior.
“You must have realized everything.”
“…!”
“First of all, there is no such thing as losing your memories anymore. No matter what, you must continue to live with the karma.”
At those words, the dragons widened their eyes all at once.
So far, ‘runaway’ has only been temporary.
Losing everything again after a few days at the most, and returning to normal.
But that can’t be… ….
“Continue…Are you saying we have to live like this?」
“Yes.”
There was not the slightest hesitation in the answer. As if there was no need for consideration, the atmosphere even went so far as to kick.
“Ooh, what should we do….」
At that, the savior smiled and answered their words.
“What do you do? I live.”
“We are sinners! Not another being, but a being who has sinned against God and against this human race! But how dare you think so easy… …!”
“An easy idea?”
The savior tilted his head.
In an instant, it felt like the temperature of the pupils had gone down more than before.
“Why is that an easy idea?”
“How can I live comfortably after committing that sin! If we had done our duty, mankind today might not be afraid of demons and demons! That we… …!」
But that was then.
Pooh!
The savior struck the cheek of the dragon who had just shouted with a staff.
“…Heck?!”
In the sudden situation, the dragons looked at the savior Mikhail with their eyes wide open.
Still no change in facial expression.
The dragon that was slapped on the cheek was so painful that it spun several times in the air and then fell to the ground.
“Why why suddenly… ….”
“Is living easy?”
“…Yes Yes?」
Glaring at the dragon staring at him as if to say something, Mikhail carried the staff on his shoulders.
Then look around for other dragons.
“Did you all intend to live comfortably before that?”
“….
」 You will have to live for many years to come, carrying the feelings of hopelessness and guilt that you are feeling right now.”
Mikhail’s red eyes glared coldly at them.
As if he would not allow him to run away, he severely rebuked him.
“Are you in pain? If you really feel guilty and want to atone, you shouldn’t be so desperate. You have work to do.”
“…!」
What to do.
Realizing what that meant, the dragons’ bodies trembled.
No, I knew it, but I just tried to ignore it.
“Stand up.”
“Ha, but we….”
“Are you afraid?”
Doesn’t give any room
The savior’s gaze was like a shackle. don’t let anything evade
Know.
It’s actually scary.
The fact that he betrayed God and gave up his duty as a guardian, and he is living his own way… ….
The conscience that has been built over life after life weighs heavily on their shoulders.
But then.
“Heroes of mankind who fought against the Demon God on your behalf that day must have been afraid too.”
“…!」
The obvious words grabbed their hearts.
Even though it was a long time ago, ‘Dragon”s blessed memory clearly recalls that time.
A lot of human beings are heroes… ….
I stepped forward while shaking my hands holding the sword and spear.
Even so, he did not let go of the hand holding the weapon until the moment he died, and he desperately tried to save as many people as possible.
Know.
Because I saw everything as a bystander.
Because with those shameless eyes, they denigrated and laughed at their efforts as useless.
“I will ask you now. Was their sacrifice that day not worth it? Do you still think it was pointless?”
“…No, no.」
I can understand now.
It didn’t make any sense.
They were men greater than themselves who had great power and chose to stand by like cowards.
I realize now.
Each and every decision they made is a stand up after overcoming that tremendous fear and pain.
“I ask again. What do you think of ‘Dragonia’ now? Is it right to collapse like this? Were your sins so shallow?”
no.
“What if not? I mean, what are you going to do from now on? Don’t you already know?”
Know.
“I am….」
Yes, you know.
Everyone in this room already knows exactly what to do and what course of action is best.
they are sinners
Sin cannot be repaid simply by shedding tears in despair.
Just as mankind did that day when they faced evil, they must stand up.
As if they were ready, they all faced the savior.
he was just watching
Either way, he had a look in his eyes that seemed like he would never forget.
Those eyes are definitely similar.
Humanity I saw that day.
The great heroes who stood up against evil even when they shuddered in fear and shed tears at their circumstances.
At that moment, someone stutters and slowly stands up.
“A sinner dares to tell….」
Gradually strength came into the head that had been hard pressed to the ground.
Straighten your back and place your arms on the ground.
Wings spread wide.
“The one from the gold family and the one who shouldered the karma of the bystander, Million Heart. I dare to ask you to stand up first among countless sinners.”
His eyes still shook slightly, unable to shake off the guilt, but he stood up nonetheless.
Standing up was important.
That was the beginning.
“I am from the family of water….”
“I am a member of the family of fire….」
The dragons stood up one by one.
Obligatory Atonement Protection… ….
Several words rushed through their heads as if they were ready.
those simple words.
It pulls them out of the great swamp that is about to devour them.
Mikhail looked at those dragons quietly.
The light flowing from the staff he was holding gradually brightened.
Hwaaak!
Soon, the light embraced the dragons that stood up like that. The dragons closed their eyes all at once.
They silently accepted the light that embraced them.
That was the beginning.
The curse they were wearing began to wash away in the light.
It is something that can happen because they are ‘determined to overcome’.
“great.”
Looking at them, the savior nodded.
Old sinners decided to stand up.
Then, what should a hero and a savior do?
show them the way
Wouldn’t it be to help them get up and walk properly?
when I was about to say that.
“…hmm.”
He frowned and paused for a moment.
The dragons that were looking at him tilted their heads.
“Savior…?”
“Once…Let’s postpone the trivial sermons for a while.”
“What is that…?」
The words are frightening.
cooong.
A roar echoed from a distance. The ground shook and a huge cloud of dust swept around.
great evil energy.
“Ahhh….」
The state of the dragons who were just about to lift the curse completely staggered.
The sudden rise of evil is calling forth the curse once more.
“…Tsk.”
Mikhail stared at the energy coming towards him with cold eyes.
I am sure who the owner of this evil is.
So he calmly began unfolding what he had prepared.
“then.”
There’s no way he couldn’t have anticipated this kind of interference.
“Come, Belphegor.”
With a cool smile, Mikhail lifted the staff.
* * *
Something happened.
The moment Belphegor realized that fact, he quickly judged the situation.
‘…It’s annoying.’
teeth are grinding
These miscellaneous things around you.
They are obviously things that can be torn to pieces in one way or another. If you have enough time, you can definitely kill it.
It’s true that you have to die.
but.
‘There is no time.’
He immediately recognized that this whole situation was intended by the hero.
The length of time these colleagues who are blocking him must endure is also within the calculation of the hero.
can kill
But eventually it will take time.
No, before that, will you be able to kill all these miscellaneous things before the hero intervenes?
‘…No, that’s hard.’
Dealing with these unexpectedly was not easy.
Not all attacks in the usual way.
Especially that young male swordsman who deflected his attack.
The author is the problem.
Too many variables.
Being caught like this is literally the same as committing suicide.
At that moment he made a decision.
“Damn it, get away!”
“catch!”
Belphegor leaped.
A huge black storm swept around.
They moved belatedly as if they hadn’t expected their sudden disappearance, but they couldn’t stop them.
‘Warrior.’
I knew what the guy was trying to do.
It will completely annihilate the curse that has spread across this land.
I have no intention of ever leaving it alone.
Belphegor laughed fiercely.
The spear in my hand starts to resonate with sharp momentum.
Ugh.
It roars with the momentum to tear apart space and destroy the whole area.
Just like that, Belphegor shot the spear.
Wow!
The atmosphere explodes and flies towards the hero without an inch of error.
The warrior was also watching it.
But Belphegor was convinced.
‘He can’t block it completely.’
Circle 8? What do you mean?
In front of the ‘sincerity’ shown by the great devil who has found his true name, even the 8th circle will not be able to completely block it.
when I was so confident.
“How stupid.”
As he muttered, his staff emitted a bright light.
That moment.
“…what?”
Belphegor involuntarily opened his mouth at the sight unfolding before him.
A power I hadn’t seen before.
Hwaaak!
Indescribable and powerful power is concentrated around the staff.
It’s not just magic.
That’s clear… …!
“B Breath…?”
Quaaaaaa!
Along with Belphegor’s murmur, the breath swallowed the entire area.
