The Great Mage who transcends by regression Episode 169
– What are you going to do?
The ‘voice’ had whispered to her since then, as if seducing.
My sister Aether’s lifespan was short.
However, he said he knew how to extend its lifespan.
Of course, she didn’t want to lose her precious family.
‘What should I do?’
The voice never once offered a deal.
Intuitively, she felt that the deal was never good.
But I had no choice.
My sister wanted to die as an honorable and holy elf, but love is sometimes selfish.
Hemera could not give up on her one and only family.
Even if it’s just her one-sided selfishness.
so that.
“I will make a contract.”
She followed the ‘voice’ and corrupted my sister.
Instead of contaminating Aether, the darkness also ate the source of the disease.
Hemera was happy.
Even if there was a little problem in the process, didn’t her sister become healthy as a result!
My sister’s appearance has changed a little, but it’s okay. Even if your own people don’t want to accept that fact, it’s okay.
If it’s you and your sister, you’ll be able to survive somehow.
Even if you don’t receive the blessing of the World Tree, somehow… ….
…But reality doesn’t always work out as well as you think.
What she had to face with such expectations… ….
– why…what did you do… ….
…It was nothing but hate.
* * *
“Ah.”
Hemera laughed helplessly as she recalled the memories that had passed through her mind.
old memories.
Seeing this suddenly come to mind, it must have really been over.
It was clear from the fact that he no longer had the strength to move his arms and legs.
“…haha.”
Had I endured for such a long time?
Having nothing and not being able to achieve what I wanted… ….
at that time.
A ‘voice’ came into my head.
stand up Fulfill your mission.
kill the warrior
…I’ll give you any strength you want.
Use it to kill that heinous warrior and achieve your goal.
A laugh came out.
I have neither the will nor the will to move. In fact, the biggest thing was the lack of ‘will’.
‘…Maybe I shouldn’t have done what I did from the beginning.’
Had she not accepted the contract with the demon god, her sister Aether would have died in the end.
He must have suffered the loss of his only family member.
But maybe one day I’ll get over that loss.
Even if it wasn’t so, innocent people wouldn’t have been caught up in their own obsession.
…yes did you know
The fact that a contract with a demon would only lead to destruction.
who would you blame
In the end, you are the one who chose and you can’t blame anyone.
but nonetheless.
“…sister.”
It was not something that could be thrown away as much as the affection for the family.
Even after it was twisted into a lowly obsession, the beginning was innocent.
She reached out slowly.
Now, in the field of vision that I couldn’t even see properly, I saw a Dark Elf standing with her temper on her head.
Although the appearance is slightly different.
…yes sister
The only family he betrayed.
Crisp.
“…under.”
Hemera laughed as she watched her body slowly turn to ashes.
I wanted to talk at least once.
He said that he was mistaken that everything was a tragedy created by his own greed.
I wanted to say that.
But now that doesn’t make any sense.
It was clear that the ‘sister’ in front of her was also not the family she remembered.
They do not share the same memories, and their emotions are also different from that of their ‘sister’.
I lowered my head so slowly.
Death coming soon… ….
“Poor child.”
At that moment, I felt warmth on my cheeks.
She struggled to open her eyes in a spirit that seemed about to collapse any moment.
and that moment.
“ah.”
My mouth fell open.
Then there were tears.
But she was feeling so strong that she didn’t even realize it was tears.
“sister…!”
“It’s a mess.”
Many years have passed, but she remembers the voice and the habitual smile.
Is it a fantasy you see before you die?
Maybe.
But that fact didn’t matter.
It was important that the older sister in front of me was real or not.
I just wanted to tell you.
choked voice.
My sister looked at her with complicated eyes and then carefully stroked her hair.
“It took a long time.”
“Oh sister me…me….”
words do not follow
I thought I would always think of this scene and say it resolutely.
He doesn’t even deserve to cry.
That’s why he said he would calmly confess his faults and bow his head.
“I’m sorry…I didn’t mean to. me i just… ….”
“know.”
Saying that, the older sister carefully held her in her arms.
It was very warm.
“I resented you very much. I was desperate and sad. Indeed…It was a terrible time.”
“I’m really sorry…black sorry… ….”
Tuduk took.
Slowly, Hemera’s body in her sister’s arms began to crumble.
Hemera didn’t know that.
Actually, I didn’t think it was particularly important.
The only thing that mattered to her was that she was reunited with her sister.
“Until I know you went to such lengths to save me…It really took a long time. It was really hard to admit.”
“Uh huh….”
yes it would have been
Just because she resembled ‘darkness’, her sister was kicked out of the clan and had to live as a ‘renegade’ for the rest of her life.
And at the end… ….
“are you okay.”
As if reading her thoughts, she smiled bitterly.
“Yeah, wouldn’t that be enough? entire…Because it’s over.”
“ah.”
“It’s okay to rest now.”
with those words.
Crisp.
Her right arm, which was barely holding on, collapsed. Then the left arm in turn… ….
But Hemera was laughing.
“Yes, yes.”
With a bright smile as if he had finally put down a heavy burden.
Whoa.
Hemera’s body completely crumbled.
* * *
I quietly watched everything.
Satisfied with a bright smile, Hemera collapsed and hugged her… ….
“…missing child?”
“You have committed no small disrespect to the hero. I’m sorry.”
Mia calmly lowered her head with an expression uncharacteristic for her.
“Thank you. Because the hero did his duty, the sisters were able to rest. How it caught my eye.”
“Is it Aether?”
At my words, she quietly nodded.
“What about Mia?”
“Don’t worry. I’m just a spark that kindled for a little while. There is nothing wrong with ‘me’ because of me.”
When she said that, she told me with a wry smile.
“…You don’t need to search for painful memories, do you?”
“but.”
To that extent, I agreed.
That said, this ‘Aether’ must be at least a subconscious that remained deep in Mia’s soul.
Such a small ember that would not be strange if it disappeared anytime.
“Is it because of your sorrowful nature that you were able to come out for a while?”
“exactly.”
She nodded.
The disposition of grief in his hand was emitting a faint light.
If that is also part of the sculpture, it is certainly not very strange.
“So soon you will disappear completely too?”
“that…Probably not. The current me is like an existence that was created temporarily because ‘me’ couldn’t accept the memories. If I’m ready, I’ll probably become one with ‘me’ naturally.”
“…Hmm.”
After all, the Aether now in front of me is only a temporary personality.
As she said, as time goes by, her existence will naturally assimilate to Mia.
“Anyway, you are more like ‘Aether’ now.”
“I guess so.”
“then.”
I questioned her
It was a separate question that had nothing to do with the plan.
“Did you hate your brother?”
“I hated you.”
Aether said that while looking into the distance for a while.
“But if you also have blood relatives, even if you don’t, if there are similar beings, you will know.”
“Hmm.”
“…Hate it, but you can’t do it forever. Especially if the child had no ill will toward me.”
Aether’s eyes that said that contained a lot of things.
Well, the story that went back and forth between the two would not be something I could arbitrarily measure.
If I were to say more here, it would be nothing but fuss.
“great.”
“Then I will stop….”
“Oh wait.”
I finished my work and caught Aether’s consciousness trying to enter.
“…hmm?”
“I have a favor to ask of you. I hope you can help me with that.”
The expression of not knowing English.
Looking at her like that, I explained the most important ‘body’.
“The descendants of the royal family who have caused you pain. Don’t you want to feed me properly?”
Aether stared at me for a moment with her eyes wide open at my words.
but right after.
“Hoo.”
A smile crept across her lips.
It was the smile of an eternal soul.
* * *
“What is this…!”
Dark King Brakrion saw the ‘illusion’ in full swing in the air with his face distorted horribly.
Truths that are astonishing.
he looked down.
His compatriots, who had been sympathetic to his words until just now, were looking at him with expressions as if they were the bastards of the world.
The fact that the existence that the king advertised and worshiped so much was actually that ‘Hemera’.
And it was revealed that he was not a normal existence, but a defector who dealt with the demon’s energy.
Of course, the atmosphere can’t be good.
‘Oh, no. Can not be done…!’
Cold sweat broke out.
Right now at this moment.
With each passing minute and every second, you can feel the trust in the royal family that has been built up until now collapsing.
he exclaimed urgently.
“This is nothing but a wicked fantasy, compatriots!”
I have to put out the fire somehow.
If the bad atmosphere continues to flow like this, the only thing left for you is ruin.
But what should I do?
He turned his gaze to the elders who were watching with him.
At this rate, you too will perish together.
When we glared at it roughly like that, the elders cleared their throats and stepped forward in unison.
“That’s right! Hear, fellow countrymen! Do not be seduced by such false illusions!”
“This is the trick of ‘Hemera’! That wicked man is aiming at this division of us now!”
However, the expressions of the Dark Elves did not change easily.
It’s because the ‘fantasy’ that I saw in front of my eyes was too realistic.
Brakrion and the elders tried to persuade them by giving all sorts of reasons for themselves.
The expressions of the Dark Elves, who were full of disbelief whether their efforts had worked, gradually became generous.
“Ummm really?”
“Well, no matter how much the king would lie….”
“It’s too suspicious to believe in that fantasy.”
Little by little, opinions changed.
Among them were the windcatchers that Brakrion had hidden, so the atmosphere gradually began to turn as he wished.
‘Yes, I just need to buy time.’
Brakrion smiled viciously.
Aren’t they the ones who have kept the secret of the tomb up until now?
If I can get past this moment right now, somehow… ….
But then.
“Hey, that’s great!”
mate!
Suddenly all the sounds around them stopped.
And as if they were ready, their gazes all moved upwards to the railing on which he was standing.
“Who are you!”
Brakrion stood up, his face contorted at the sudden interruption of the voice.
The owner of the voice is a blond human youth with red eyes and wearing a white robe.
He looked around at everyone and briefly introduced himself.
“Hello, warrior. Oh, sorry for the sudden interruption. This is so….”
Then.
“I have a disease that makes me clap when I hear bullshit.”
He grinned with a really angry voice.
