The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 210,
bottles were rolling around randomly.
The corner was full of trash that hadn’t been cleaned up, and in the center of it, a woman was staring at the ceiling with an expression of having lived in the world.
World Tree Yggdrasil.
As I approached her, the world tree smiled at me.
“…Are you here?”
A completely desperate expression.
Set looked at the world tree in disbelief and said.
[No, what are you doing?]
“Ah, did unnie come too?”
The World Tree laughed.
I’m sure my first impression wasn’t like this, but depression is a person… …No, it seems to have changed the divine existence.
“What is your sister’s life? This world, space and time… …We have lived a long time, but in the end, we are beings who cannot live alone.”
[Looking at the lengthy bullshit, it seems like they really got hooked in an instant.]
Set said in an absurd voice.
[There have been times like this before. Of course, at this time… ….]
“Whoops….”
No matter what Set said, the World Tree rolled around on the bed.
I think it was an existence that could be ruined like that.
“…No, come to think of it, it was always like that. You always leave me.”
[Now is the time to get used to it.]
“That’s right.”
The World Tree smiled bitterly as he said that.
It was not the appearance of a transcendent being called the ‘primitive tree’.
I wondered if her change was too sudden.
‘Maybe I haven’t expressed it in the meantime.’
In the first place, it is a being that has endured for a long time.
No one will be able to guess what kind of thoughts he would have endured all these years.
i asked her
“Were you shocked that the young elves left all at once?”
“Of course, it’s true that it played a part in this incident.”
But not all.
World Tree said.
“…It would be more accurate to say that things that were piled up exploded. For a long time I have watched the deaths and births of many. At this point, I think I can understand him a little bit.”
“If he is.”
“Isn’t that what you mean by ‘Great Asar’?”
she laughed weakly.
I thought that I would shake off the remnants of the demon and regain my original prestige, but it seems that things in the world do not always go my way.
[Calm down. you’re not really like this I know there are moments like this sometimes, but I have to overcome them well.]
“I know. What I do… …It’s just a fleeting moment.”
So your depression is not that much of a problem.
She said and got up from the bed.
Then lightly flick your fingers.
Everything that was cluttering her room was cleaned up in an instant.
That doesn’t mean the subdued atmosphere suddenly changed, but it was still better than before.
“What is it? The first reason is that, as you predicted, my children left me… ….”
“You mean there’s a second one?”
“yes.”
She sighed lightly and held out her hand.
At that moment, the space that had been seen as a bedroom just before changed completely in an instant.
A primordial tree that can only be described as majestic.
“here is….”
“It is my center. In terms of humans, it should be considered a heart.”
The interior is incomparably better than before.
Most of the wounds that were damaged by the remnants of the demons had also been healed, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with them.
At least outwardly.
“hmm….”
However, it was ‘outwardly’ so far, and I could see it in my eyes.
A very small gap in the column.
The dim light was spreading finely.
Unlike the natural light that basically symbolizes the World Tree, this light felt somewhat gloomy.
“I don’t think it was there at the time.”
“None.”
That’s what happened recently.
However, if the power is as strong as in the remnants of demons, it is not.
You can shake it off at any time.
However, the fact that it was not meant that the World Tree intentionally harbored this ominous light.
“You accepted it on purpose.”
“You’re also quick-witted. Do you know what exactly this is?”
“…what.”
If this is such an ominous energy, is there another owner?
Great Devil.
And this… ….
‘He’s the one who couldn’t find his true name.’
If you have found your true name, the light cannot be this weak.
It would have been more subtle and difficult to find.
Then why did the World Tree leave things like this?
The answer came easily.
“Are you going to drag me in?”
“For now, it was meant to be.”
A demon who has not regained his true name.
If he had approached the World Tree, she might have felt it as an opportunity.
…no it’s a chance
I’m guessing he intends to use the World Tree to restore his true name.
He didn’t seem to know that his plan had been uncovered yet.
Had I known it was caught, I would have retrieved it right away.
‘…None of them have any contact with Pandaemonium. Then the candidates are reduced to two… ….’
Two of the most powerful known evil corps commanders are currently with demons.
That is, they are not in this world.
anger pride.
Not even Enoch.
He couldn’t regain his true name, but he’s cooperative with Pandaemonium.
Let’s think a little more.
I don’t feel any particular sinful aura in this ‘light’.
I can only feel the enormous power that symbolizes the great evil.
So, the first thing that comes to mind right now is… ….
‘Ashy blood.’
The Great Devil, born with sin, is a pure-blooded devil with great potential and is gaining enormous power.
However, pure blood is not necessarily strong.
Among them, there were bound to be ‘mutants’ that were born to the point of threatening even those purebloods… ….
That is the ‘gray blood’.
Among the seven great demons that have descended to the ground in advance, two have ‘gray blood’.
one is belligerent;
It’s hard to imagine that a monarch whose brain was filled with muscle would have done this in secret.
If so… ….
‘It’s the other side.’
One of two Ashenbloods who do not share information with Pandaemonium.
“…understand.”
“already?”
The world tree looked at me in amazement.
“Yes, one of the Gray Bloods. Wasn’t the World Tree supposed to summon the gray blood that hadn’t yet found its true name and completely annihilate it?”
“You really understand.”
“However, the Prime Evil is dangerous in one way or another. So you must have thought of mitigating that danger with my help.”
With the thought of killing it for sure.
The World Tree smiled at my words.
“You are right. Of course, it’s true that my mood has calmed down quite a bit, but it’s not to the point of collapsing.”
“As expected, that was a lack of acting. I was impressed, World Tree!”
“Yes?”
“No way, I believed that World Tree Tree did not call me simply because of melancholy. You are not betraying my faith.”
“…yes?”
It seems that the World Tree slightly averted its gaze, but it must be my mistake.
whatever
The main point is that it is this way.
Subdue the hidden Great Devil.
The sea I wished for.
For the great devil, the faster you reduce the number, the better.
“Do you have any other good ideas?”
“There is nothing.”
I looked at the world tree and quietly took out my staff.
A mysterious staff created using parts of her.
“Since ancient times, the correct exorcism of demons has been the overwhelming number of hawks. If you sacredly break the head, you will die.”
“Uh um….”
The World Tree, who was quietly looking at my staff, tilted his head as if he couldn’t understand.
“…Is it part of me?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“But why is the end a bit….”
red?
The World Tree looked at me with an extremely subtle expression.
what the hell are you talking about
“Isn’t it because you broke the devil’s head countless times?”
“…As a staff?”
“yes.”
“A wizard?”
“yes.”
what. Is there a law that requires wizards to only use magic?
no it won’t be
I am very intelligent and a wizard with higher magical achievements than anyone else.
There was no way that the way I used the staff was wrong.
“It’s not like a term like battle mage exists for nothing. If necessary, you must be willing to fight in close combat.”
“…It feels like there’s something wrong with the staff that shouldn’t be there?”
“What could it be?”
There is no such thing as absolute in the world.
Sometimes in the world, there are cases where we are so caught up in stereotypes that we fail to see the important things.
Isn’t there a reason that a wizard is necessarily weak and only shoots magic from behind?
Whatever.
“The work to be done this time is not much different. All you have to do is lure out the guy who secretly implanted a brand on you and then break his head… ….”
[It’s an ordinary Mikhail-style solution.]
Set said with a resigned nod.
Finally, Set must have understood my supreme mage theory.
“Then, before that, World Tree. I have one favor to ask of you.”
“…What if?”
“Please pay in advance.”
I proudly held out my hand to the World Tree.
Originally, this kind of thing is difficult only the first time, but it is easy the second time.
“….”
The world tree looked at me with a cold expression.
but i’m proud
Advance payment.
This is an investment for the future.
‘It’s not until the 8th circle that I beat the Great Devil or not.’
I was having a hard time with the 7th circle.
It’s time to step up to the 8th circle.
* * *
After Mikhail left the realm of the World Tree, she stood alone for a while, staring blankly into space.
The World Tree does not neglect its duties.
Even if she feels a considerable amount of burden and boredom in this reality, that ‘feeling’ does not harm her duty.
It has always been that way.
‘Hey Asar.’
She quietly closed her eyes.
great god.
The starting point of all beings, including her, and the creator of this world… ….
– Please, child.
The warmth of the soft tousled hair when I was just born and was barely aware of my existence is still vivid.
A lot of things happened after that.
She lost and found a lot.
All the apostles who were with him took responsibility and guarded Asar’s remains, and were unable to meet.
…If it were original, it would have been.
However, with the intervention of the ‘Hero’, a lot has changed.
He was very different from the other warriors before him.
I knew a lot.
There is no hesitation.
Besides, the blood that circulates in that body must be… ….
“Is it the right choice?”
I wasn’t completely sure if believing in the current ‘Hero’ was the right choice.
I just believe it’s the best.
Hide a little bit of anxiety.
That was when it was.
[Are you okay?]
She smiled bitterly at the familiar voice in her ears.
“Unnie, is it possible to move separately now?”
[Well, it’s still limited, but it’s still possible.]
That must mean that Set has regained quite a bit of power.
Even though he feels a little happy about that fact, bitter feelings linger on his lips.
It’s a bit complicated.
[…] …Are you okay?]
Set asked anxiously.
“I already told you it was okay.”
[I know that, but….]
Whatever it is, it’s not forever.
Set swallowed the rumors and just looked at the world tree with worried eyes.
“You’ve already noticed that it’s not just my children’s leaks that I’m worried about, right?”
[…] …Well, that’s right.]
Saying that, Set lightly landed on the shoulder of the World Tree.
she thinks a lot
What she sees is not just the present, but some kind of truth behind it… ….
Therefore, she has been judging the world by it.
However, the hero who is making the biggest change in the world this time.
Mikhail Walpurgis.
“I really can’t see anything about him.”
[…] ….]
“Ignorance naturally breeds fear. Same. The child is changing many things in a positive direction, but at the end of the day… ….”
[So you want to judge?]
“It is true that it is difficult. This is because very complex issues overlapped.”
The World Tree seemed to avoid answering.
However, as soon as he gave up, he confessed his true feelings to Set.
“…That’s right. I’ll definitely be able to judge it when I see it with my own eyes.”
[Well, if you are.]
Set already has complete confidence in Mikhail.
But if my brother isn’t convinced yet, I’ll let him do it.
[Then watch.]
In her eyes, Mikhail was more like a warrior than anyone else.
will never disappoint them.
yeah never… ….
* * *
“…Whoa.”
I smiled as I looked at the bottle containing Maia’s breath that I received as a gift.
It will be the 8th circle soon.
If so….
‘A better way to crush their heads.’
that’s the best
In the past, I thought it was not good for staff to be stained with blood, but as time passed, my thoughts changed.
um yeah
…Wouldn’t half be fine?
