The great mage who transcends by returning Chapter 292
It was only for a moment that the accident occurred.
The five apostles stood at the round table.
They are transcendent beings who served Asar, and are great beings who once solved all kinds of threats as guardians of the world.
Of course, it would not be an exaggeration to say that there is no possibility that they will be in danger.
But now.
“…Damn, the thing I feared the most happened.”
That ‘thin possibility’ was unfolding.
A pitch-black pillar swept across the area.
A dark demonic spirit that rises to the top of your head just by looking at it.
Wedge!
Suddenly, something shot at the speed of light. Seeing this, Thoth clicked his tongue briefly and reached out his hand.
Quaang!
The ground shook with a roar.
Of course, the light of the round table is firm.
What was fired had enormous power, but it was not strong enough to pierce the light of the round table.
“Is it really that hard?”
With those words, someone slowly walked out of the jet-black pillar.
The faces of the apostles who saw him hardened all at once.
Familiar faces and atmosphere.
“…Belphegor.”
“Ah, how are you? my old enemies Those damn tops are still there.”
The apostles glared at him with hard expressions.
I heard that he was recently imprisoned because he was reversed by Mikhail.
The usual indolence is not visible.
I just scan the surroundings with sharp eyes and prove my hostility with my whole body… ….
Everyone could see that he hadn’t come with the intention of using a mild solution like negotiations from the beginning.
“Are you here alone? I knew that most of the beings called the Prime Evils didn’t know my subject… ….”
“Ah, because of the hero, there are no leftovers. At least the ‘old man’ who used to control me is no longer there.”
Because of Mikhail’s performance, the only ones left in Pandaemonium are Belphegor and Enoch.
only two
At least, that was the number of ‘known’ Great Demons so far.
“I kept thinking and talking. I mean, we need to nip this damn hero before he gets any stronger.”
“….”
“But they didn’t listen. The result is like this. I was being stubborn and not even funny about a topic I couldn’t properly control.”
Belphegor laughed.
With a dark murderous intent that can no longer be seen as indolent… ….
“As expected, this is right.”
With those words, Belphegor stretched out his hand towards the sky without the slightest hesitation.
At that moment, the darkness condensed.
Of course, the apostles also felt the change, and felt intuition that this change should not be left unattended.
[Stop!]
Anubis moved first.
As Asar’s fierce dog, he instantly transformed into his true form and lunged at Belphegor.
How many demons did Anubis bite and swallow?
It is too much to dare to count, and among them were the great demons of the past.
but.
“O fierce dog of Asar. Do you think it’s because I’m standing in front of the ‘apostles’ without any certainty?”
“…?!”
Belphegor smiled and stretched out his dark-clad hand toward Anubis.
then that moment.
Kwadeuk.
“…What is it?」
The pitch-black spear pierced Anubis in a situation where he was not even ‘aware’.
“Cheer, heck!”
Anubis contorted, coughing up red blood.
It’s not just a window.
Unlike the spears Belphegor had seen so far, the ark was clumped together with malice and despair.
“Anubis!”
Surprised by the unexpected situation, Nephthys shouted.
It was because he did not know that Anubis would allow an attack so easily.
Even the other four apostles did not properly notice Belphegor’s ‘attack’.
Facing the eyes of the apostles one by one, Belphegor smiled leisurely.
“Asar is dead. no more It is a story that the source of your apostles’ power has disappeared. but.”
Belphegor spoke while holding Anubis by the nape of his neck.
“I am not ‘we’. God sees us.”
“dare!”
Root followed.
As he stretched out his hand, the power of the labyrinth that defined him as the ‘Apostle’ began to oppress the space.
At that moment, the space surrounding Belphegor became a prison and surrounded him.
But Belphegor is relaxed.
“And this is it.”
As if he expected that from the beginning, he lightly threw the Anubis he had in his hand towards the apostles and grabbed the spear again.
“Is that proof!”
And at the moment when Anubis and the apostles were in the same direction, Belphegor threw his spear.
Malice stuck in the window, despair.
They rushed toward the round table, tearing apart even the natural order and space.
“…Tsk.”
There was no way that Thoth was unaware of the power of that attack.
As the head of the Round Table, he made full use of the Round Table’s power to deflect the spear.
But not completely.
Kwajik!
Cracks in the wall of the Round Table could not be avoided.
It was the attack of only one Great Devil.
Even the most imperfect round table is cracked with a single attack!
Thoth’s eyes twitched.
‘…You’ve become stronger.’
‘Round table’ is the same.
It’s not perfect, but it’s in a predictable state at this point.
On the other hand, Belphegor.
The archevil of sloth exceeded his expectations in every way.
Is it because Belphegor is excellent?
no that’s not it
This is beyond what can be explained.
In the end, he goes back to the ‘worst assumption’ he thought of first.
The descent of the demon.
After the death of the original great god, there was a gap in the barrier that had been firmly maintained, and the demons infiltrated the world in earnest.
Even in a situation where the Demon God cannot properly use his authority as a god, the danger is not lowered by any means.
Because there is a great devil.
Fanatics who, if they have their own gods, can go beyond their limits and simply throw away their lives.
Isn’t there evidence of that right in front of your eyes?
Belphegor’s abilities now are completely different from before.
Belphegor knew that too.
That’s why he appeared in front of the five apostles, whom he would normally not be able to deal with.
“Until now, you apostles seem to have somehow managed to sustain their fate with the remains of a fallen god, but that must have reached its limit.”
“…Did you receive demonic power?”
“I got it to overflowing!”
Belphegor answered while carrying the regenerated spear on his shoulder.
Bright madness in both eyes.
There was only blind faith in the god he believed in. And as if responding to that, the demonic spirit standing on the spear burns.
At the same time, the darkness that had enveloped Belphegor until just now completely enveloped him.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
The endless confidence that you can do anything fills your heart deeply.
Belphegor knew that this was the presence of the god he believed in.
Unlike them, God stands behind your back!
‘Even that hero won’t be able to stop me this time!’
Belphegor remembers.
The fact that he was defeated the first time he faced the hero was purely due to his carelessness.
But now, without even being vigilant, he gained new strength from God.
Warriors have no meaning.
Regardless of whether he collected sacred objects or whatever, ‘Asar’ is no longer there.
What is the meaning of divine objects when there is no existence to give them strength?
Wow!
Belphegor’s appearance changes.
His body swelled in an instant, and black scales sprouted all over his body. Her bright red eyes radiated a ferocious light and looked down at everything.
“…Is it the body?”
“Is that Belphegor, after all?”
Tension grew in the eyes of the apostles.
He noticed that Belphegor’s power was not easily controlled by the Round Table, which was not perfect.
The drinker exists.
Asar does not exist.
That obvious fact weighed heavily on the five shoulders.
It is true that the existence of an ‘apostle’ is definitely powerful, but… ….
In the end it’s not perfect.
Asar’s arrangement was prepared under the assumption that the Round Table would eventually be resurrected ‘perfectly’.
‘…The only good thing is that he hasn’t fully recovered his godhood yet.’
If that was the case, he would have come right away and slaughtered them all in an instant.
In the first place, God is such a being.
It also means that Hekau is still holding out somehow and Asar’s ‘restraint’ remains.
Kwakwawang!
Jet-black lightning strikes from Belphegor’s spear, which was aimed at the sky.
A huge darkness covered the sky.
It’s a really touch-and-go situation.
The five apostles prepared with determination.
Okay.
In any case, there is one archevil right now. And in the current situation, there is almost no great devil to appear anymore.
I wonder if the other great devils who were watching from the outside had descended.
‘…for a moment.’
At that time, Thoth reflexively thought of a ‘possibility’.
Possibly the worst possible.
‘Why did he send the demon god Belphegor alone to deal with all of us in this situation?’
Because of his confidence as a god?
It can be.
However, even if it is a Demon God, consuming the Great Demon in an uncertain possibility for such an impromptu reason is something… ….
“no way.”
At that moment, Thoth’s complexion hardened.
It was just one of the possibilities, but one that should never be overlooked.
‘…Didn’t the great demons who were watching outside come?’
If he hadn’t descended, it would be the right thing for a demon to descend.
If there is an ‘opportunity’ to do so, definitely.
And now, all five apostles who have spread out around the world and watched for outside invasions are gathered here.
situation was created.
From the point of view of the Demon God that the hero accepts trials to capture the tomb, the situation couldn’t be better!
The moment he realized that, Thoth immediately moved.
Cancel the summoning of the round table and return everyone except yourself to their original graves!
so that it can again fulfill its role as a deterrent.
But Belphegor was fast.
“Haha, you noticed!”
Belphegor’s spear aimed at the round table again.
At that moment, hundreds of spears created in the air were aimed at the round table at once.
without the slightest hesitation.
The window was shot.
everything went slowly
If nothing happened.
No, normally, Belphegor’s spear would hit the round table directly and the demon’s plan would come true.
but.
“< Stop >.”
That ‘obvious’ situation changed when someone appeared.
Space has stopped time.
But consciousness remains the same.
Belphegor’s eyes trembled violently as he confirmed the presence that suddenly appeared in front of him.
Seeing him like that, the intruder smiled coldly.
“Yes, it is me.”
The demigod has finally returned.
* * *
One problem here.
If I had summoned the Round Table to solve the ordeal of the tomb at will, would there have been any countermeasures?
The answer is right.
“There was!”
With those words, he struck Belphegor in the head with his staff.
It’s okay because I can’t move yet.
‘It seems that Set and the twins haven’t returned yet.’
He must be absorbed in talking to Asar in his own way.
Let’s try to understand that.
It’s a pity that the other five after me didn’t participate in the reunion… ….
‘This won’t be the last.’
Well, let’s think about that later, and now we have to deal with the immediate problem.
< Space-Time Freezing >.
It is a power that I became aware of in the process of contemplating how to use this power right after I realized that I was a demigod.
It’s not long, but it’s not so short that you can’t use it either.
However, I couldn’t use magic in the stopped time and space like this because I wasn’t fully skilled yet.
Even mana is frozen at once.
It would have been impossible to appear in front of Belphegor so quickly if the coordinates had not been designated from the beginning.
“…well that’s it.”
Being able to manipulate time and space to some extent means that you can even step on space.
Now, to my eyes, every space looked like a stairway that could be climbed.
Eyes that bloomed with awareness of the demigod.
Being visible also means being able to use it.
In my eyes now, this ‘world’ looks like that.
It probably means that even an imperfect godhead has the qualifications to do so.
Anyway, going back, I can’t use magic in this state.
but.
‘I can hit you.’
I muttered that to myself and listened to the staff.
as of this time today.
I will have to add the blood of the great demon Belphegor to this staff.
