The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 347.
The gap.
In an instant, but surely, my staff touched the ‘crack’.
Maybe he didn’t know that I would rush at him recklessly without using magic or authority in front of him, so he didn’t even think about responding.
And that hesitation.
Kwajik!
It was a truly crucial mistake for him.
The crack was pierced.
【Big ah… ….]
At that moment, he opened his eyes.
【Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaage.]
Then, holding on to the right arm, screamed out.
Resonating with the guy’s emotions, the space is wildly shaken.
The staff that penetrated the crack started to vibrate violently.
It seems like he wants to get away from the drinking god right away.
but.
“Please bear with me for a little while.”
It is not yet time to subtract.
Even though I couldn’t annihilate the Demon God with this, I had to inflict maximum damage.
how?
How could he inflict fatal damage on someone who existed from the beginning?
My senior, the first hero, succeeded in cracking the Demon God with his very existence as collateral.
how did you crack
It’s not hard to think of that.
extinction.
Just as I used extinction by reversing it to suit me, the senior must have also imitated the power of the demon god.
in your own way.
Immediately grasp the traces of the senior in the crack and analyze how the demon was hit.
about 1 second.
In that instant, he clearly grasps the principle of the rift and decides what to do to give the demon a sure blow.
Ironically, even though I hated the Demon God the most, I came to understand him.
That’s why I knew how to best aggravate the rift it had.
If you know, there is no reason to delay.
I poured my weight into the staff.
Already, while going through numerous incidents, my staff has reached a level where it is difficult to even call them ordinary sacred objects.
To the extent that I can easily accept and spread even my level.
I squeezed through the cracks and started digging through his wounds to the point where my godhead was tenacious.
【You bastard… …!]
“It’s been a while since I’ve suffered like this, hasn’t it?”
Perhaps this is the first time he has experienced ‘pain’ since Asar pierced his body through Longinus?
He is a supreme being.
And that’s why I wasn’t used to the pain.
The only beings who can injure a demon god are those equal to him.
Yes, it was only Asar so far.
The demon’s scream rang out again.
An inexplicably thick pain paralyzed even his rationality.
Who would find a great god in this look?
But pain will eventually fade. It would be even more so for a drunken god.
“That scream is loud.”
【go away…!]
The demon stretched out his left arm.
Red, bloodshot eyes glared at me.
To be honest, I felt a sense of incongruity because he looked like me to the extent that it gave me goosebumps.
Okay.
Now I knew for sure.
This is an enemy we can deal with.
There is a way to deal with it, and it’s not like inevitable doom. Even if we can’t put an end to it here… ….
‘I can do it next time.’
That realization was never trivial.
I grabbed the left hand of the Demon God who was reaching out to me.
【You bastard… …!】
“Hold on for a while.”
I looked at him and said it again.
“Isn’t it natural for a great god to be indifferent to suffering?”
【…!]
It is a feeling that countless human beings, whom he regards so insignificantly, endure endlessly.
If you are a being who created such a human being, you should be able to endure such pain without difficulty.
The gripped arm trembled.
The Demon God could not find complete composure in front of the pain he experienced in hundreds or thousands of years.
The state of confrontation that followed.
I tried my best to open the wound further, and the demon tried to escape.
and….
Kwajik!
In the end, the guy’s right arm, which was barely maintained, completely collapsed and came to an end.
It is not simply a natural decay.
The drinker himself destroyed it.
Like a lizard running away from enemies by cutting off its tail.
【Heheh… ….]
He was glaring at me with an expression full of humiliation.
The right arm had a sharp protrusion as if glass had been broken, and the collarbone was finely cracked.
I asked that guy.
“How is the pain you felt after a long time? It must be pretty special.”
【haha….]
The guy laughed.
Of course, but not in a good way. It was a smile filled with all sorts of malice and hatred.
The man who had been giggling and laughing for a long time slowly raised his head.
Red eyes shone coldly between the fingers that wrapped around his face.
and that moment.
pop.
Suddenly, unnaturally, ‘all the emotions’ that had been hovering over the demon disappeared all at once.
Everyone in the area looked at it with bated breath.
what should i say about that
like.
It was as if he had completely erased his emotions from ‘just before’.
Then, with a squeak, the drank god moved slowly.
【…That’s interesting.]
He looked at me with calm eyes and continued.
【Certainly this… …A long time. Until now, it was thought that pain was given by equals.]
Isn’t that exactly the case?
As he muttered those words, he stretched out his hand and violently tore at the space behind me.
A black abyss lurked beneath space.
【I learned something fun. Spiritual and physical.】
“It will continue to be fun.”
[We’ll have to wait and see.]
After saying that, he looked at my empty right arm.
Nothing exists.
It’s probably going to take a while for anyone to recover from this loss.
The guy should know too.
“So are you going to continue? If that’s the case, I’m welcome.”
【…Ha.]
He let out a cold laugh.
【I can’t do that. I just realized. In any case, this is not the place for us to compete.]
“….”
【You can’t block everything. Spiritually and physically. No matter how hard I try, the result of the creatures being sacrificed has already been decided.]
I couldn’t answer that right away. Because it wasn’t even a lie.
I certainly had great power, but it wasn’t enough to protect ‘everything’ in the world.
Know.
That no matter how much I run, I have to make some sacrifices.
Seeing me not answering, the devil smiled faintly.
【You’ll see it again soon.】
Still, he seemed certain that he had no future to lose.
That attitude sucks a bit.
“Hey, drank.”
I said to the guy who was trying to disappear into the abyss.
“The great Asar set his own ‘end’. I decided to end it with nobility.”
【….]
“But not you.”
I looked straight into his eyes, filled with emotions I couldn’t fathom.
“You are doomed. it’s not your choice You will perish at the hands of a creature you so despised.”
【…You bastard.]
The demon god’s eyes sank coldly.
But I didn’t have any intention of talking to you anymore.
【Let’s struggle.】
She disappeared after leaving behind a short word.
* * *
After the demon disappeared, I relaxed and sat down….
‘I can’t do that.’
…did not sit down
No matter what you do, you’re not a warrior.
Regardless of whether you are relaxed or whatever you do, it is your duty to show a heroic appearance to the end against your colleagues.
Using the staff as support, I tried to straighten my back and look back.
All my colleagues were staring at me.
With a pretty grumpy look.
Lian was the first to break the silence.
The boy said in a subtle, unmatched voice.
“Isn’t it stronger than what you drank?”
“If that were the case, we would have beaten them all and declared world peace.”
I said firmly.
“If we hadn’t discovered our weaknesses in the first place, we would have had to suffer considerable losses. The opportunity arose because he was forced to come.”
“I was lucky.”
“yes. It is an undeniable fact that the Demon God still has the upper hand.”
The Demon God must have known that, so he intruded in such a sudden way. Well, in the end, it was a handshake.
Eileen asked cautiously.
“Anyway, are you taking a breather?”
“Once you’ve suffered a significant blow, you won’t be able to intervene easily. It’s just that you can’t ‘intervene’.”
One way or another, he will move to find his power again.
And if he recovers and improves the crack that became his weakness this time, his ‘weakness’ will really disappear.
“I will try to take advantage of that opportunity to regain my position as a god.”
Now that Asar has died and Hekau has fallen, if the Demon God truly regains his place as a god, he will become the only god.
Everything in this world will be organized according to the devil’s intention and under the order set by him.
“This is so…Even though they ate a room like that, it doesn’t sound like a good situation.”
The butler sighed lightly and patted his back.
“In other words, unlike before returning, we still have many means available to us.”
“That’s right.”
At that, I nodded.
As Herma said, the fact that demons still have the upper hand in the battle against mankind is a negative point of view… ….
To put it positively, now we have dragged a battle that would have been lost in the first place.
To the level of drinking that drink in one shot.
After that, the colleagues chatted about this and that, and then sat down as if the tension had eased.
“…I’m really going to die.”
Ryan said and scratched his head.
“If you look at it objectively, being ahead of a grand master by surpassing even a master at my age is a genius that will go down in history, right?”
“so.”
“By the way, the genius met the Great Devil as soon as he came out of the closure, and the Devil appeared as soon as he defeated the Great Devil?”
I wonder if it’s too unreasonable… ….
Ryan grumbled as he said that.
Well, I think there is something like that.
But what can I do?
In the first place, the reason why mankind was so overwhelmingly destroyed before the return was because the situation itself was ‘unreasonable’.
“What can I do? The current situation is that we have to overcome that irrationality.”
“…Tsk.”
Ryan clicked his tongue briefly.
“Then, the remaining Great Demons…Did I say three now? Only one tomb remains. It was really close to the end after all.”
“Yes, we are close to the end.”
With those words, I slowly looked back at my colleagues.
“Of course you have to be stronger.”
“…we? Aren’t you strong enough to be strong already? Even if it is impossible from common sense to become stronger in a short period of time here… ….”
“No, it is possible.”
With those words, I pointed around here.
By absorbing the deity of Harmageddon, I gained complete control over the area.
I don’t even have a demon right now, so it’s good enough to say that I’m a god here.
It is time and space, and it can be adjusted within an appropriate line.
then what does that mean
“If you roll infinitely, you’ll somehow become stronger. For humans, the limit is decoration, but the higher ups don’t know that.”
“….”
At that moment, there was a truly strange atmosphere among the colleagues.
You seem to have roughly figured out what I’m trying to say and what I’m trying to do.
“uh….”
Eileen looked at me with a very anxious expression.
It’s not just Eileen. The other four also had inexpressible expressions.
“Oh no, it’s decoration, it’s nabal, and there are limits…Because there is?”
“No, listen. Can I conditionally ‘transfer’ the sacred items I’ve collected so far to someone else?”
“….”
yes new.
With a benevolent expression, I slowly examined my colleagues one by one.
There is a new way to become stronger.
but i’m not used to it
Then what?
“Tada! Guys, we have a new task for you!”
“….”
Everyone in this room looked at me with the look of a madman.
