The Grand Mage who transcends by regression Episode 306
“Are you alright Ariandel?”
A man with tousled hair in a ponytail asked in the middle of ruins that didn’t really feel life at all.
It was hell.
Truly, a hell descended upon the human race.
A god with obvious evil intentions descended on mankind, and countless demons poured into the world according to his will.
Everywhere you go you see demons.
I also saw monsters that crave blood and flesh and tear apart corpses ravenously.
Killed and killed, the number did not decrease.
Rather, it only increases.
In the end, even the leader of this terrible war, the expedition < Argo >, has come to a situation where they are pessimistic about the future.
“that is….”
she was a saint
At the point of meeting Mikhail, the man in front of him, he was already mentally complete, and rather, she was the one who guided him.
Ironically, however, it was Mikhail who became stronger in the midst of repeated tragedies and misery.
The wizard, who looked like he was about to commit suicide at any moment, endured and grew and now stands tall as the brains of the expedition.
Everyone was having a hard time.
Even so, I was trying to figure out a way to get through the situation somehow.
Instead of despairing, he chose to move forward.
But what about himself?
She looked at her bloody hands.
Beneath it was a boy who eventually took his own life in despair.
…no no
There is no such thing as blood.
It had already been several days before they could not save the boy.
A lot of time has already passed and everything has left her hands.
There is no reason to cling to these memories.
But nonetheless… ….
“I was young, Mikhail.”
“It was.”
As if understanding what she was thinking, Mikhail nodded and continued.
“I was too young to decide on my own death. He was a child who had to think about how to play tomorrow rather than death.”
“…I would have gotten used to it. Because I’ve already seen it to the point of getting tired of it. I need to get over this.”
“You get used to it….”
At her words, Mikhail muttered quietly and let out a small sigh.
“…It’s sad. You have to get used to those things.”
“….”
“I am not going to tell you not to care. If I said that and it was a problem that could be solved, you wouldn’t be suffering like this.”
Ariandel’s eyes darkened at those words.
Yes, as Mikhail said.
No matter what he says, there is no perfect solution.
Tragedy will continue and she will have to keep watching.
that’s the world
But then.
“So keep talking to me. I am…What do you want to hear?”
“Mikhail is also having a hard time. If I’m the only one complaining one-sidedly, it’ll be a nuisance to you in the end.”
“Ah, I’m fine. no….”
Mikhail laughed.
Somewhere ephemeral, but at the same time with a clear will.
“I’m fine.”
* * *
“…ah.”
Ariandel opened his eyes.
She stayed that way for a while, staring blankly into space.
It took time to organize the numerous memories that came in suddenly.
It was horrific and pitiful.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was close to a nightmare… ….
‘My delusion?’
no it can’t be
The fact that this is not a mere delusion has already been felt for a long time.
Mikhail then and Mikhail now are different.
As for which one looks better… ….
It must be now.
Because at that time, Mikhail was carrying too many things on his back.
Even the pain and despair of the party was completely his own, and he was enduring it.
The hero couldn’t play his role, and he had to take on that role even though he wasn’t even a hero… ….
‘ah.’
Suddenly she realized.
what space you are in right now.
great Solomon.
The founder of Walpurgis, a fragment of the Demon God, and the one who carried on the will of the old god without forgetting it.
“To me…What do you want?”
Ariandel looked carefully into the air and asked.
She couldn’t see anything, but she felt that Solomon was watching her.
“I wanted to accept it,”
said Solomon of “Youth” in a calm voice.
“I only made you remember what the soul inside of you remembers. so…How do I know you are remembering these things?
” ….”
“Yes, it must be true. I was also quite interested.」
She recalled ‘the last moment’.
An expedition that managed to reach the Demon God through all kinds of despair.
However, despite such efforts, it led to despair that I could not dare to do until the end.
‘Ah, then Siegfried should have hit it a bit more clearly.’
We met several times, but at that time I didn’t know anything, so I couldn’t hit him.
Just check your head… ….
“…Oh good idea.”
yes good idea good idea… ….
Trying to solve everything with violence is not at all like a saint.
She repeated it to herself and recalled the memory.
So last minute.
After Siegfried faced an empty end after fierce shoveling, she and her companions decided to sacrifice themselves to buy time.
Jihad and the beast king Muhyul confronted each other desperately and faced the end, and she also sacrificed herself.
Perhaps the current change in Mikhail is the result of her colleagues, including her, somehow earning time.
And she… ….
“…ah.”
then it came to mind
Memories that had been sleeping in the depths of my soul, still unopened, came to mind one by one.
– I’m sorry I couldn’t do anything for you. To the child who follows me… …
A somewhat miserable smile.
The memory of reaching out her hand as the wise god she worshiped spoke slowly.
In a situation where there is no room for communication, it is not that the god who protected mankind did nothing.
Ironically, it wasn’t until the very end that I reached my child.
It left a possibility and left her the right to ‘remember’.
“Did you know a little bit?”
“Yes, thanks.”
It seems that my head has cleared.
She smiled brightly and nodded at Solomon’s words.
“What about the others?”
“Everyone is doing their part. You’re a little quicker, but sooner or later the others will get the ‘deserved results’ and come out.”
So, it means that there is still some time before everyone gets together.
It wasn’t hard to realize that the situation outside was not relaxed.
Mikhail must be on the move.
He must be desperately making plans and fighting fiercely, just as he has been doing so far.
If so, you should also help yourself.
Fortunately, there was something that came to mind when I regained my ‘memories’.
‘Reuniting with old colleagues… …We need to talk.’
It’s true that Mikhail is great, but that doesn’t solve everything that’s going on around the world.
If so, he must look where Mikhail’s eyes couldn’t reach until everyone gathered.
first. “Are
you
planning to go out?”
She said so with a clear will.
When he realized that the vague memories he had left were not in vain, everything became surprisingly clear.
What to do.
Among them, what needs to be addressed as a ‘top priority’… ….
“What are you planning to do? If you tell me in advance, I will tell you later when the descendants come.”
“I’ll see God for a while. In the process, I met some old ties.”
Ariandel added with a laugh.
“Tell Mikhail that I will be looking for him soon.”
You don’t have to come find yourself. He said he would take care of things that would help him and then go.
The saintess moved with strong determination.
* * *
Through conversations with the apostles, some of the circumstances were learned.
Of course, being an apostle doesn’t mean you know everything about Asar, but it was helpful anyway.
Conflict with Solomon.
How did it go wrong with the set and how did you come to accept her again… ….
something like that to some extent.
“Anyway, it’s no longer a situation to cover up. Let’s talk about our times for now.”
“okay.”
“The top priority right now is for you to collect all the gods. four left. We know all the locations and we intend to support them as much as possible.”
“Are you okay?”
Even though he said he was willing to pay the price, wasn’t it a constraint placed by Asar?
If you violate it, I don’t think the price will be weak… ….
“Maybe it wasn’t okay. If it was originally, that is.”
Thoth said with a smile.
“But you are a bit out of the norm. It’s not that there’s no cost, but your existence itself minimizes that ‘cost’.”
“…That much?”
“You don’t know how great your self-worth is. Well, that’s what I’m going to do.”
Thoth let out a small sigh and spoke again.
“By the time you crossed time and came this far, you have already far surpassed humanity. It means that as a creature, you have become infinitely closer to God.”
“Hmm….”
It’s not that I can’t feel it.
However, if you ask me if I have a ‘real feeling’ that I have completely transcended human beings and become a different being… ….
‘Not necessarily.’
Is it because I still define myself as a ‘human’?
Whether it’s a divine status or the level of the 9th circle, it still feels like nothing more than a means to counter the Demon God.
Thoth continued as if he had expected my lukewarm reaction.
“There is no need to complicate things. Now you don’t have to worry too much about the cost. It’s not nonexistent, but it’s a weak level, so there’s no problem with us supporting you.”
“I see.”
“So now it’s important for you to gather the other four to complete the Round Table and perfectly inherit His arrangements. Just think about that from now on.”
It’s easy to say.
The problem is that unexpected situations are happening everywhere due to the intervention of the demon.
Will the current human beings be able to effectively oppose the existence of the ‘Demon God’ without me?
“I must move a little more diligently. You can’t just focus on the grave, so if you’re going to do it all… ….”
when you were worried about that.
“You fool in this subtle place.”
Thoth looked at me with his tongue clicked.
Among the apostles, in a way, he was the first to share my ‘return’.
the guy said
“What is the reason you have been running around sweating so much? If you were able to do everything by yourself in the first place, you would have just completed the 10th circle first and had a soul match with the devil. But it isn’t.”
“that….”
“You have been running so far with the thought of giving humanity independence, but you don’t believe in the humanity you saved when it really matters? Don’t you think there’s something strange?”
Isn’t that a contradiction?
said Thoth.
[I don’t think Mikhail is definitely wrong.]
Set also nodded as if he felt something.
[I think other people who got a chance thanks to you are still moving.]
“….”
It felt like a good hit.
It’s what the guy said.
With the idea that I will protect humanity from demons and gather talented people to fight against it… ….
‘I don’t believe it.’
Like paranoia, I moved thinking that I had to solve all situations.
However, since he knew that it was impossible in the first place, he saved the competent people somehow and cut off the festering parts.
But at a moment like this, they didn’t believe in the people I saved.
It is an arrogance that is not even funny.
“…Right.”
understood.
I nodded as I saw the apostles looking at me with a warm smile.
me Mikhail. Realized.
therefore.
“You mean it doesn’t matter if I roll you crazy from now on?”
yes i believe
I trust that you will listen to any unreasonable demands I make.
Anything can be done.
Then you can do anything.
“….”
The corners of Tot’s mouth went down slightly, smiling proudly at the words he said.
Not only Thoth, but also the apostles who were there.
“no.”
“why.”
“Why is the story like that? Believe in humanity and act like a hero… ….”
“So does that mean I have to do everything by myself like now?”
“No, that’s not it! okay! That’s obviously not the case, but something is wrong with the conclusion! Why are you going that way!”
“Right!”
Anubis added a word to Thoth’s words.
But what do you mean?
me Mikhail. Once attained, knowledge is never given up.
A man who knows no compromises. that’s me
“Yes, I invested, but I had to pull it out. I was stupidly trying to do it all by myself. such a mistake.”
“Stop thinking! Hey fuck! Just do it yourself! Do everything!”
“I don’t like it. I will do it together.”
I swear to the sky that I am not ashamed of my words.
“What woke me up?”
what is
He’s the president of a mining company.
