The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 213
■■ is laughing right now.
■■ is currently only watching loftily as the Great Devil.
Let’s go now.
The Great Devil of Drought ■■■… ….
The hero and his party started to feel nervous intuitively.
“…With that feeling, he’ll just be laughing right now.”
I jotted these down on a stone tablet and told everyone.
After making the elixir, I called everyone to the fairy king’s palace as soon as I came out.
The reason for calling them is simple.
Get ready to beat the devil.
At my explanation, Lian tilted her head as if something was wrong.
“What a strange example.”
“Hey, where can you find an example that’s as accurate as this?”
Where in the world could there be such a perfect example!
Right now, my hands and feet are shaking because I am afraid of the laughing Great Devil.
“Anyway, the important thing is that the Great Devil, the culprit behind all of this, is not thinking about coming out yet.”
This guy is more toxic than you think.
I thought he wouldn’t budge even though his pride itself was damaged.
Of course, it’s not without income.
The moment he squinted his eyes in rage, his scattered concentration allowed him to set some elves free.
Those ‘young elves’ are here.
“Are you feeling better?”
I asked, looking at them behind me.
They all had their heads down.
“…I have no face.”
“It could be anything.”
I went outside with my own meaning, but there is no reason to criticize me for it.
can’t do it either
The ‘result’ is always bad, but the reason they left the forest isn’t bad either.
There must have been a desire to see the outside.
But in the end, it was unsettling.
The helplessness of being unable to do anything even though the remnants of the Demon God tried to destroy the World Tree.
I can understand more than anyone else.
“Well, we came out of the forest and struggled to develop the power to help the World Tree in any way. It was fine until there, but… ….”
“The Great Devil must have intervened. Of course, you wouldn’t have been aware that you were captured.”
“…That’s right.”
The process of captivity varied from person to person.
Some were captured while working as mercenaries, while others were captured while helping those in trouble.
It seems like they were all concocted at the same time.
In other words, ■■■ he had been watching everyone since the young elves came out of the forest.
Well, it’s natural.
It is a plan to destroy an existence the size of a world tree.
Such a degree of preparation in advance is natural.
But the important thing is… ….
‘If that bastard is wrong, he could even self-destruct.’
It is similar to the time of May.
If I forcibly find my true name without being qualified, he will surely perish unless he kills me.
he won’t kill me
But even that would not prevent the fairy forest from being devastated in the process… ….
‘I have to think about the aftermath that occurs at the moment of extinction.’
What matters is when the two overlap.
You shouldn’t think that the world tree will do anything for you.
If it is the great devil who has regained his ‘true name’.
Even if it was temporary, there was always the possibility of inflicting incalculable damage to the World Tree.
And if so?
A gap arises.
Perhaps the remaining great demons would stab the gap and bring down the World Tree.
The world tree probably isn’t so common that it would allow such a thing, but… ….
Now is the time to be wary of even the slightest possibility.
Anyway, because of that.
“You still have the power of that archdemon. Soon he will be looking at the forest through your eyes again.”
“That…!”
The faces of the young elves were stained with darkness.
He went out of the forest to be of some help, but instead acted to harm the World Tree.
It can be a terrible thing.
Of course, I had no intention of simply letting them despair.
“But there are other things.”
“What if something else?”
“Unlike then, you now have free will. And the Prime Devil still doesn’t know exactly that fact.”
“…!”
“Soon it will try to get information through its reactivated vision.”
The suggestion he gave to the elves wasn’t very precise.
Yes, it’s not ‘can’t’, it’s ‘no’.
The Great Devil is such a being.
They perceive life other than themselves as words that don’t matter if they are consumed at any time, or as insignificant insignificant things.
He must have thought that the elves couldn’t escape his suggestion.
“We will use it in reverse. It pierces common sense that he takes for granted.”
“Wait a minute, warrior.”
Then the Fairy King spoke to me.
“The Prime Evil is not something to be ignored. It’s okay to provoke him, but if he overreacts… ….”
“it’s okay.”
“that…song?”
“Ye Nom is very confident in his plan. Of course not. With that alone, he is the one who has risen to be the ‘lord’ in that hell.”
Gray blood is such an existence.
Therefore, he hates ‘pure blood’ who were born with the blessing of the Demon God.
what kind of background
That’s why it’s good to deal with gray blood.
Purebloods may help him, but there is no need to ask purebloods for help from the position of gray blood.
He’ll try to figure things out on his own somehow, and it’s much easier to deal with then.
“Anyway, yes.”
I looked at the elves and said.
“From now on, you will have to ‘pretend’ that you have been suggested by the great devil. It’s not difficult. We will set the guidelines for you.”
“…Will that be enough?”
“It’s possible.”
In the first place, that’s just an indication.
If the opponent was Asmodeus, the story would have been different, but I cut off the buds before they grew bigger.
okay.
In the first place, ■■■ he’s not a devil that’s good at cheating.
* * *
The atmosphere in the fairy forest has changed.
Wasn’t it the point where it was revealed that the Great Devil was involved and that its purpose was the World Tree?
Of course, the atmosphere has to change.
A meeting between the fairy king and the elders took place outside of ■■■’s eyes.
The remaining young elves also moved to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances.
I’m speaking lightly.
…I really don’t know.
It’s not that I’m dying or that I’m not sure I can annihilate him.
The important thing is that although we are sure of the results, we do not know how much damage will be caused in the process.
That’s why I have to force a ‘choice’ on him from now on.
I had to make him give up his advantage and come out in front of me.
[…] …What are you going to do?]
Set asked me cautiously.
[Even if he’s not as good at cheating as Asmodeus, he’s not stupid enough to give up his advantage. Of course, he will notice a fair amount.]
“That’s right.”
I know that.
But what do you mean?
On this side, there is the power of the god that he trembles so much.
“The Abundance of Nephthys.”
[Of course, that will help you deal with him, but you’re not Nephthys himself, so I don’t think you can completely stop him?]
“I know that too.”
How could he have said such a thing without knowing that?
“Actually, it doesn’t matter if ‘abundance’ can completely prevent his drought.”
[…] …What does that mean?]
“If you make him think that way, that’s it. Just in time, a situation was created that would only show us the advantage.”
He is using the infiltrated elves to somehow check the inside of the fairy forest.
At first, I used it to break his concentration by simply provoking it, but now there is no reason to do so.
I must have secured his ‘sight’ as well.
I’ve definitely got the elixir needed to deal with him.
Then, all that was left was to use the hand that was obtained.
“So set.”
[…] …Hmm?]
Set tilted his head.
“Come work with me.”
[uh….]
Set looked at me with an anxious expression.
A clear sense of disbelief felt in the trembling eyes… ….
No, this is the level of trust.
It was a look of trust that I would definitely make a shitty proposal.
“You’re buying it, too.”
[…] …Right?]
“As a bonus, as long as you’ve lived, you’ll be quite impressed with the great demons.”
Although seen from time to time, the great demons really hate the apostles to the point of trembling.
No wonder.
To them, Asar’s Apostle is literally a being at the opposite end. It’s strange that you don’t hate it.
but at the same time.
“They are extremely wary of you.”
[That’s right.]
It wouldn’t be if it was when he was tied to the grave.
Because if it did, it wouldn’t have any effect on reality.
But now it’s different.
Set regained his power to the point where he could clearly affect reality.
Even if it is not yet in its prime, it can at least make the great devil mislead.
[…] …Hmmm, so you want me to stand in front of him as an apostle?]
“To be precise, it’s exposed. To make him believe that his ‘drought’ is useless.”
[Then, from his point of view, wouldn’t it be better to remove it altogether? The probability of success is extremely low.]
“You can’t do that either?”
I smiled.
this is certain
A certainty that can be said from the position of having experienced the miracle of regression once.
“Because this would be a gamble that was heavily dragged from his point of view.”
To put it in our own terms.
okay.
It means that he has invested everything in this work by spending a lot of money on debentures.
* * *
A few days have passed. ■■ was still intent on spying on the Fairy Forest.
In the meantime, the life force of the world tree steadily flows toward him.
A huge amount, but not enough.
He wanted more.
It’s not enough to make achievements that even ‘pure blood’ couldn’t do and to be recognized by him.
‘You bastard Belphegor.’
He gritted his teeth, thinking of a certain archevil.
Even among purebloods, the word ‘unreasonable’ is a disturbing species.
A monster that became stronger and quickly regained its true name simply by existing as a ‘lazy’ person.
don’t make any effort
He was a monarch who was born strong and destined for greatness.
I hate that fact.
He hoped that his efforts would surpass the bastard’s birth.
That wind became an obsession, and that obsession made him impatient without even realizing it.
He sacrificed a lot for the single purpose of devouring the world tree.
There is no option to give up.
If he gives up, he will never be able to catch up with pure-blooded spirits.
Belphegor I must live at the feet of that abomination.
that can’t happen
Isn’t that why he moved while committing charades that didn’t suit his body?
Okay.
Things are going according to plan.
If this continues, the path to the Fairy Forest will naturally open, and you will be able to approach the World Tree.
If the drought completely overtakes the forest, the World Tree will have no choice but to go out of its way to cure the drought.
That moment is an opportunity.
He thought so and steadily examined the situation in the forest.
And several more days passed.
According to the plan, the vitality of the forest should have been consumed considerably.
however.
“Why?”
He shuddered at the unbelievable fact.
The forest in the ‘landscape’ illuminated by the infiltrated elves was fine.
Far from diminishing, life is becoming more abundant.
…he knows
richness.
If it’s the divine power, it should be possible.
But that was only when the apostle himself stepped forward.
Even if the hero had acquired a divine object, it would be close to impossible to fully respond to his own abilities.
“But why…!”
He screamed in frustration and chewed his nails nervously.
And when a few more days passed.
he could understand
“ah.”
there was an apostle
Although he may not be the owner of abundance, an apostle of the same rank… ….
– Drought will not ruin this land now.
Even materialized with the main body.
It suppresses the ‘drought’ with the power of vivid life.
It was felt.
As time goes by, the influence you have worked so hard for is fading.
“set…!”
Unable to hide his agitation, he called out the damn apostle’s name.
And I felt it.
that there is no time
We must move before it is too late.
