The great mage who transcends by regression, episode 230
“I prepared it….”
Apophis was muttering the preparatory work he had prepared with a sullen expression.
How come you have no face?
After such an indescribably strange silence… ….
“Okay, let’s get straight to the point.”
Apophis, who was neatly organized, decided to go straight to the main topic.
It looks like something has formed at the end of that eye, but I decided to pass it over.
No big deal. Could the dragons of the world cry over this?
[Apopis is one of the most sensitive of the apostles… ….]
“….”
ah i don’t know I can not hear you.
If it’s Apophis, I’ll just let go of that with a firm will.
yes it will
Anyway, he reached out to me.
Ugh.
Brilliant light shimmered at the fingertips, and soon they came together to form a sphere of light the size of a palm.
Divinity fills up just by looking at it. Instinctively, I was able to realize that this was a ‘new thing’.
The 4 kinds of spirits dwelling in me started to resonate with it all at once.
“It’s the < breath > that I’ve been entrusted with.”
“What power do you have?”
“Well, if you look at the potential of the divine object itself, it contains the ‘voice of God’. Do you know that it is a change in reality?”
“…yes?”
I was dumbfounded for a moment and looked at him.
reality change.
The power to defy even the laws that literally exist and distort reality.
Isn’t it an authority given only to divine beings?
“This < breath > I am receiving now has such power?”
“As I just said, it is only a possibility. Think about it. If you give a staff to an ant that crawls on the ground, can an ant use magic?”
“This is because it is at that level.”
A possibility that an ant with nothing could use magic.
That’s it.
“It’s not that you’re an ant, it’s just a metaphor.”
“Oh, that’s fine. I don’t care.”
Apophis nodded at my words and continued.
“Continuing the explanation, < Breath > will be of great help to you as it is a god with enormous potential.”
“If it helps….”
“Isn’t there something like this? It’s like the reproduction of ‘dragon words’ through the human body.”
“her?”
I couldn’t help but be surprised by what Apophis said casually.
“…A dragon?”
“Yes, a special language known only to us. Do you know what exactly it is?”
“Yes, I know.”
yes i know
Dragon language.
Basically, it refers to the special language the dragon has.
However, the important point is that this ‘special language’ itself has the power to interfere with reality.
Normal magic works only when it is accompanied by perfect formulas and mana.
However, in the case of verbs, the ‘formula’ is not needed.
Just as humans deny the magic created by building history, the dragon instinctively realizes the ‘formula’ and uses magic in the best way.
This is one of the reasons why dragons are called ‘guardians of the world’.
‘It’s not accurate because it’s just a record, but… ….’
Roughly judging from Apophis’ reaction, it can be said that the word about the dragon is almost consistent with the record.
“Originally, dragon words are not a blessing granted to humans. But it’s different if it’s related to the gods.”
I recalled the gods of the past.
Without thinking deeply, the ‘Storm’ that Set was in charge of right now wasn’t really a power to be swayed by.
‘It’s amazing to think like this.’
‘Storm’ itself is a force that can be called the extreme of irrationality.
Although there are limitations, isn’t it a shield that boasts almost absolute defense power?
“then.”
I slowly touched the orb of light. Then, naturally, the light began to be absorbed by me.
And as if it were natural, the knowledge of < Breath > dwells in my head.
Would it be more accurate to say that he became aware of his instincts rather than acquiring knowledge?
I think I can do this.
“Fus… ….”
“stop.”
Apophis said firmly.
“Say no more than that.”
“hmm.”
“Where did you learn to talk like that? You can’t do it here.”
Well, that’s it.
I instinctively understood something.
Yes, there are things to say and things not to do.
“Hmm, then first…< Fire >.”
Tried lightly.
Then, briefly, a flame burned in the palm of my hand. It means that the ‘dragon’ I just said worked for sure.
So let’s go a little further.
“< Fire > < Blue > < Proliferation >.”
At that moment, a handful of mana escaped with a tingling feeling.
It wasn’t particularly burdensome, but it was a little more than expected.
Anyway, the flame has changed.
It turns blue and multiplied flames begin to circle around. It is said that even complex characters are all recognized as ‘dragons’.
“Ah, of course you need to be a bit careful about using the word.”
“That word….”
“Even if it’s not an unreasonable request of the kind that changes reality, there’s a chance that your mana will literally ‘evaporate’ if you try an overly large-scale statement.”
Well that’s a big problem.
Certainly, it would be fatal if the mana I couldn’t handle evaporated pointlessly.
Let’s keep this in mind.
“By the way, I didn’t expect to use a word so simply like this…Should I be called a warrior as well?”
“I just knew right away.”
“It is not easy to know that right away. Especially those applications and ideas you just showed.”
“…Hmm.”
what good
The new thing I got this time has a completely different feeling from what I’ve gotten so far.
Up until now, it was literally a special ability as a ‘divine thing’, but in the case of dragon words, it can be said that it is a power that is directly related to my magic.
‘Now I’m sick of five.’
Gradually, I feel that the sacred objects in me are reacting to something.
Should it be related? It feels like things are getting closer little by little.
There will be a change soon.
According to Anubis, even if you have only ‘six’ divine objects, you can simply reproduce the Round Table.
Now that’s one left.
“So where are you going now?”
“I have something in mind.”
Argo’s colleagues before returning.
I met all of Jihad and Ariandel Siegfried.
Lian was also an early member, so most of them were reunited again.
However, there is still one person who has not yet been reunited.
The king of beasts.
I haven’t been able to reunite with him yet.
The reason I hadn’t looked for him until now was because there were many more urgent tasks right now.
However, he found five new objects and also reduced the number of great demons.
Now is the time to find him.
furthermore.
‘Suddenly it’s time for him to move.’
A lot has changed since before the return, but there are still a few things that won’t change.
One of them is the guy.
The gray blooded archdemon.
A crazy guy who is crazy about confrontation, calls himself a warrior, and is crazy about crushing opponents.
That guy has no choice but to get entangled with the Beast King. In the first place, what he wants so much is from the Beast King.
“I’m thinking of going to the beast king.”
“The beast king…I don’t know what happened recently, but it must be meaningful as it is your idea.”
Apophis nodded and said. Then he looked at me with soft eyes and said.
“Hmm, by the way, the story I couldn’t fully explain before….”
“Enjoyed!”
“….”
At my answer, Apophis’s face turned sullen again.
“Ah, I prepared it, but listen and go….”
[Wow really….]
The set looked at me with ridiculous eyes, but what can I do?
I have a chronic disease of not being able to hear instruction.
“Ah, it must have been an epic story that lasted over 1000 years….”
“Thank you for your effort!”
I thought I shouldn’t go in even more, so I lowered my head and ran out of the temple.
* * *
A few days later,
we left the peaceful village of Dragonia.
I should call it a dragon now, but whatever.
“A dragon… ….”
Rian looked at the dragons in disbelief and shook his head.
Even Dragonia is such a rare species that it is hard to see it once in a lifetime.
What about dragons anyway?
Everyone except me looked at the village with a somewhat dazed expression.
“How…When I’m with you, I see a lot of really unbelievable things, really.”
Eileen said curiously.
“So, we are the first to witness the revival of the dragon race, right?”
“yes.”
“Even in a way, he was the one who lifted the curse that was afflicting the dragons.”
“I guess that too.”
Without the cooperation of these four, it would have been difficult to control the variable called Belphegor in many ways.
When I was about to leave the village.
“Are you leaving?”
A familiar voice stopped me for a moment.
When I turned my head, the priestess Kyrian was standing there. Ultramarine blue hair and jade blue eyes.
She was looking at me with a different atmosphere than before.
“Are you getting used to it?”
“Yeah, it’s okay. It took a while for everyone in the clan to accept it, but well… …It wasn’t bad.”
Even as she said that, she moved her body around, still frowning as if she was not used to it.
“It was not easy to admit that we were sinners anyway. little…It may sound brazen, but.”
“No, I understand. It is unavoidable because I have lived a long time as a human being.”
But anyway, they decided to face the sin.
That’s it.
It’s not that they’re not guilty.
Apart from that, I will respect the attitude of not turning away and facing it.
At my words, she let out a wry smile.
“We all have different characteristics. Whether it’s water or fire or gold… …stuff like that. Depending on that, the place where we live is different, but… ….”
“You can do it one by one.”
“Yes, after some degree of rehabilitation, it should spread all over the world as it did before. And if that happens, I think it will definitely be of great help to the savior.”
She said that and handed me something. It was a horn the size of a palm.
“This….”
“It’s a horn that proves that you are the benefactor of our dragon. When we spread all over the world, if the savior uses that horn, nearby clans will come right away.”
“Hoo….”
I saw the horn I was holding.
It was clearly seen that there were quite complex magic formulas.
Not only that, but it also seemed that the dragon was engraved directly.
“Let’s write thank you.”
“Our duty is ‘Guardian’, and cooperating with the hero, Savior, is directly related to that.”
Saying that, she bowed her head politely to me again.
“Water Blue? Either way it won’t matter. because the meaning is the same Anyway, I wish you blessings on the path of the savior in the future.”
“Thank you Kyrian. May blessings be upon you as well.”
Nodding my head, I also prayed for the future of the dragons to be bright.
* * *
Acquire five new objects.
The three great demons are destroyed.
These are my achievements so far.
Of course, it is still far from enough.
At least one more will need to be extinguished.
And if you’re lucky, you might be able to achieve that goal this time around.
It’s just a guess, though.
“Where are you going this time?”
Like a habit, Lian reflexively asked me.
It is an expression that feels that it is already a somewhat difficult place to have a rough expression.
“You’ve been saying a lot about being strong lately.”
“Because that’s my ‘destiny’.”
“….”
Oh, this baby hasn’t been fixed yet.
It’s really deplorable.
…Whatever.
“There’s a place where a lot of people like you gather.”
“Anyone like that…?”
“Beast people.”
I answered simply.
Not all of them are like that, but mostly the types known as ‘muscles are full up to the brain’… ….
I looked at the butler and Lian alternately.
The old man who sold his soul to his muscles, and the strong man, the strong man, the strong man… ….
“Hmm, that sounds good.”
I don’t know, but for these two, wouldn’t this destination be a resting place for their souls?
Well, that’s what I was thinking.
