The Grand Mage who transcends by regression Episode 189
“Damn the wizard! How dare I dare my brother… …! curse! I will curse your fate!”
The Black Knight, who was once a famous knight in the Empire, but fell and became an enemy of mankind, shouted.
Red bloody tears flowed from both eyes.
I just chuckled.
It took a long time to hunt indeed.
I had to put in a lot of sincerity because I was so new to it.
But it wasn’t that there was no way to hunt him down.
Because he had only one weakness.
“It’s good that the brothers are trash as a pair. Thanks to that, I don’t feel any remorse on my conscience.”
“이 개새끼가아아아!”
That he had a younger brother.
The black knight was fast and strong, but his younger brother was not.
I captured the younger brother and nailed him to the cross with nails through his arms and legs.
That desperate scream resounds and reaches my brother… ….
The result is this situation now.
“You mean you are still a hero’s companion! How can we, who were once human beings… …!”
“Yes, it was once.”
I smiled and looked at the guy.
“There are no morals or rules to follow for traitors. In any case, it is clear that you are the enemy who betrayed humanity.”
“…!”
Tolerance as a party of warriors?
mercy rule?
Say “X”
Such an attitude toward the enemy is of no value.
After all, that will never change the fact that they are our enemies.
“I’ll get your hands dirty as much as you want if you need it in the future. These are the pants I wish I could save even one more innocent person with my hands.”
I dragged the corpse of the brother who had died before, and approached the black knight’s nose.
With trembling eyes, he met my brother’s eyes that had lost their light.
“Ahhh….”
“You should have stood up to the end.”
As a member of the human race against the god damn army.
You can do it any number of times.
I gave up a long time ago on pretending to be a company of ideal warriors or a person of moral character.
– Mikhail Wouldn’t it be nice to have a little mercy in your hands?
Damn you Siegfried.
It doesn’t matter if they see me as a brutal slayer.
If that’s the way for humanity.
As long as it’s a way to drive out the damn demon, it can be done.
in the first place.
Because that’s my role.
* * *
Yes, there was a time like that.
I glared at the corpse of Bacchus, who was lying in a state of misery.
…abyss.
yes i saw the abyss
The bottom of the human group that I saw so damn many times before returning.
That Bacchus was also one of those ‘bottoms’.
And the numerous connections and memories that were in his head were the same.
selfish and cruel
They do not have beliefs, nor do they have their own clear subjective views.
I’m just caught up in the desire right in front of my eyes and move on my own.
It doesn’t matter if it can be corrected.
However, there was a class that could not even be corrected, and they were called ‘abyss’.
Just as you can’t understand the abyss, you can’t understand them either.
[There…Is Mikhail angry?]
“No, not at all.”
I don’t intend to waste my emotions unnecessarily with something like this.
I immediately burned his corpse and immediately called the butler using the power of the god.
“Um, young boy?”
The butler looked a bit bewildered, but immediately regained his composure.
It’s because I’ve seen me summoning a party with a sacred object once.
I immediately asked him.
“Did you find anything, butler?”
“It hasn’t even been a day yet.”
“I believe in the butler. Eavesdropping and hiding is the best.”
“Anyway, even if I say….”
The butler said that, and then sighed slightly.
“Well, thanks to diligent travel around, I didn’t have no income at all. I had a rough idea of how the city was going. by the way….”
The butler glanced around, frowned and clicked his tongue briefly.
“It’s a piece of shit. Why is there such an ominous ore?”
“It is the raw material that is the driving force of demons. Apparently, it was being mass-produced here.”
“…By using their lives as fertilizer. It’s a damn thing.”
The butler ground his teeth.
He has a pretty eccentric personality and tries all sorts of weird things, but he never crosses the ‘line’ anyway.
In the first place, Twilight’s teachings made it taboo to force one’s self-mortification on others… ….
In short, Twilight has a history of extreme self-harm.
“The city itself is something bizarre. I remember it wasn’t like this before… ….”
“How is it?”
“I’d say the whole city is basically drugged up.”
The butler frowned in displeasure.
“It wasn’t originally like this. Drugs were strictly forbidden. It’s like that now… …It was unimaginable in the past.”
“Definitely not good.”
When I first entered this anti-lifestone mine, I remembered Qliphoth’s aura that pervaded the mine.
Certainly, even before I came here, I felt uncomfortable even if it was shallow….
“There are two more underworld guilds. Looking at this side of things, I think the other two are similar.”
“…Hmm, anything else?”
“It’s about the different races that belonged to Malien’s council in the past. Looking at the recent situation, it doesn’t make sense.”
The butler continued to tell me the information he knew.
A total of 100 members were members of Malien’s parliament.
Seventy-five of them voted in favor of Kelibos’ intervention, and it was a vote that far exceeded the majority, so Kelibos became the lord of Malien.
But the strange thing is that more than half of those in favor wanted to overturn the voting results later.
He said he wasn’t sane.
That wasn’t ‘fair’.
“It’s suspicious.”
“That’s right. Very suspicious.”
Even seeing this, I can’t stop more rational doubts from springing up.
Then the butler asked.
“By the way, what are you going to do with the different races here? It would be impossible to leave it like this… ….”
“Well, there is one person who is suitable for this case.”
“suitable…ah.”
As if he remembered it belatedly, the butler nodded.
“I see. There was a saintess. I forgot about it for a while because the image was different.”
“She’s a bit peculiar.”
Who in the world would think of a saint when he sees a woman taking the lead in breaking the head of a monster?
The butler is not unusual.
Ariandel is a foreign place.
whatever
“I can just call them all.”
It’s not just Ariandel.
I thought maybe Daedalus might need to see this place.
…It won’t be a pleasant sight.
Sometimes in the world, there are things you should see even if you are uncomfortable with it.
* * *
“…her.”
Daedalus was silent for a while, his eyes wide open.
He just stood there with a look of disbelief.
After a while.
He strained his trembling legs and began to look around.
With a miserable expression that seemed like shed tears at any moment.
“How is this….”
Although Ariandel’s arrival restored the victims, it was not a complete solution.
Even those who had been excessively deprived of vitality could not be restored.
After wandering around the mine for a while, he stopped in one place.
“…iced coffee.”
Then he slumped down.
In front of him was a dwarven youth with a remarkably skinny appearance.
“Pe Perdix….”
“Do you know someone?”
“My my nephew. We came here together and helped each other, but how… ….”
He cautiously approached Perdix and screamed.
“Calm down Pe Perdix! Returning to the kingdom, why are you here! why are you here… …!”
He poured the potion into Ferdix’s mouth with a trembling hand.
how long has it been
A thin moan escaped from Perdix’s mouth and he opened his eyes.
“…uncle?”
“Yes it is me! What. Why the hell are you here!”
Daedalus was weeping.
I didn’t know that my nephew, whom I thought had returned to the kingdom, would be in a place like this.
“How is my uncle….”
“Help was helpful. But why the hell is this… …why you… ….”
At those words, Perdix’s eyes shook.
He hesitated, then spoke with difficulty to Daedalus.
“This Icarus….”
“…what?”
Daedalus’ eyes trembled.
he continued.
“This Icarus…When I was about to reverse my decision that day, they attacked me and locked me up here.”
“…!”
Upon hearing this, Daedalus’ shoulders trembled.
‘…It’s Icarus.’
He was obviously a disciple of Daedalus.
At that time, Daedalus was clearly suspicious of his disciple.
I put my hand on the shoulder of the panicking Daedalus to calm him down.
“Calm down, Daedalus.”
“Hero Hero, my disciple can’t possibly be responsible for all of this….”
“First, let’s listen some more.”
I have only heard fragmentary information.
Perdix needed to know exactly what had happened.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Ferdix, but there is information I want to hear. If you don’t mind… ….”
“It’s okay.”
He staggered, but somehow managed to get himself up and sit properly, introducing himself.
“My name is Perdix of the Hammer Anvil Clan. It’s an honor to meet you, warrior.”
“I am also honored.”
“Then let me tell you.”
He began his story with a dark expression.
* * *
Long ago, when the council agreed to Kelibos’ proposal and handed over the governance of my city to Kelibos.
funny.
Perdix was among those who agreed to hand over the governance.
Let’s pretend it can be done there.
But the problem was that he had no intention of doing that.
He was rather clearly one of the MPs who expressed his disapproval of the agenda.
“jeon…It was believed that keeping the council was for Malien’s sake. So, of course, Kellibos’ proposal was considered unreasonable.”
“but…Did you vote yes in the end?”
“That’s right.”
He said that and covered his face.
It’s like I can’t understand the decision of the day.
“that day…Why the hell did I make that decision? I can’t understand. why the hell… ….”
“…Hmm.”
It doesn’t look like a lie.
Assuming that Ferdix’s words were true, he was insane that day.
as if drunk.
“Do you have any memories?”
“doesn’t exist. Or rather, how long have I been here?”
“well. It has been well over half a century since Parliament was dissolved.”
“What is that…!”
Perdix was shocked.
‘I lost even the sense of time.’
He didn’t even realize that decades had passed.
“Daedalus, could you check on the others in the mine? Perhaps there are others who were with the council that day.”
“I see!”
Daedalus began to look around urgently.
And soon after, his screams followed.
A total of 10 people.
After a while, I noticed that 10 members of the council were left in disrepair, just like Perdix.
“…I will turn.”
One thing is certain.
That Malien’s return is not usually suspicious.
furthermore.
‘It must be clear that the goddamn Kelliboss did something wrong.’
A mine that produces anti-life stones.
Members of the past parliament who were neglected there as ‘fertilizer’.
Perdix was unconsciously forced to act differently from his opinion.
Definitely wrong.
‘Dream… ….’
I remembered how the people in the mines were possessed.
Moreover, lawmakers who were unknowingly manipulated like puppets.
‘I think I understand.’
There must have been an army of demons who had done countless similar things like this.
if they are related.
“under.”
what do you do what do you do
Surely.
You have to chop it all up and throw it away.
