The Grand Mage who transcends by regression Episode 237
Kwajik!
“Keep kee ha ha…!”
A soldier sat down helplessly on top of a bright red pool of blood.
The eyes that couldn’t close properly, as if resentful, trembled and soon lost their light.
“hmm.”
And in the middle of the devastation, a man with a huge body was standing.
Archdemon Ariok.
He looked around at the things he had made with eyes that did not contain the slightest emotion.
Traces of destruction visible here and there and bloody pools filled with thick blood, between them, horribly crushed corpses float around.
But not all are dead.
Just like Yeonga did before, he needs a ‘survivor’ to tell him about his major.
slobber slobber… ….
Stepping through a puddle of blood, Ariok approached the survivor shivering in the corner.
small and insignificant
Humanity in the eyes of the Great Devil has always been like this.
A small creature that doesn’t matter if you step on it at any time.
It was like that this time too.
He came to him ambitiously, saying he would repay the favor, but in the end it ended up like this.
It doesn’t make any sense.
Even though he knew that there was a huge gap between him and himself, why did he walk on his own feet like this?
“Uh uh….”
“Why did you come to die knowing that this would happen for granted?”
Survivors who just trembled and couldn’t hide their fear at the overwhelming gap.
There was no self-respect or anything in those eyes.
“…Hmm.”
He frowned.
Naturally, it reminds me of the beastmen of the love house who came to visit him the other day.
Eun-won was the same, but… ….
‘At that time, the only thing left was that the eyes didn’t die until the end.’
Thinking like that made me feel a bit uncomfortable.
He clutched the head of a trembling survivor in a corner.
“Buy live….”
“…Tsk.”
It’s funny. If I had told you to kill me, I would have saved you.
Power enters the hand holding the head.
The survivor struggled and tried to escape Ariok’s clutches, but to no avail.
“Ka ah…Buy buy live… ….”
“done. It wouldn’t matter if I wiped it out at least once.”
With a snap, the survivor’s head exploded in Ariok’s hand.
He shook my hand with a sad expression.
There was no one left alive.
He looked around at the horrors he had created with unmoved eyes.
I also don’t feel anything.
The humans struggled to kill themselves, or their resentment was deeply attached to them.
It doesn’t make any sense.
“Would it be different if it was the king of unmanned men?”
Anyway, isn’t it the existence that reached the pinnacle of martial arts?
No, it’s difficult if it’s different.
Because we’re putting on this skit to take him down.
‘After defeating the king… ….’
What will come chaos in this land.
Then Pandaemonium will intervene as soon as it is ready.
I don’t particularly actively cooperate with them, but it was promised in advance… ….
“haha….”
Of course, it’s not something you know.
No matter what time it is, his goal is to eventually defeat the strong and gain strength from them.
so to see the end.
How will the king of this land think about his next move and how will he prepare for it?
“Huh ha…!”
When I think of that, I smile.
To say it was a laugh, it was a heinous murderous intent dripping with blood.
Anyway.
A monster wants catastrophe.
* * *
“Ugh um….”
The Beast King muttered the things I said with an extremely subtle expression.
“At the start, take half a step back and take a stance to keep it in check. After that, if he tries to approach quickly, he destroys the ground and blocks his sight… ….”
“Yes, then move Ivo in the right direction. An attack will come right after that, so I immediately bend my head.”
“….”
He was in the middle of hitting Ariok’s pattern on the beast king’s head with an attribute for a while.
Of course, the beast king’s expression died as time passed.
He stared blankly at the sky and muttered with a philosophical expression.
“…How did this happen to Genji?”
“There is no time to rest, Your Highness.”
“Yes, I guess.”
After the Beast King said so weakly, he continued to mutter the ‘memorized contents’ that I had conveyed.
“After taking 4 steps forward, using the angle of the giraffe to check, retreating 3 steps, waiting for about 2 seconds and then attacking….”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“It is specific. Honestly, until I heard it, I had doubts about whether it was really the right content, but it wasn’t. It’s definitely a good trick.”
I guess so.
You may not know it, but it’s the result of your endless reflection and consideration in the vanished future.
Of course it is accurate
After one defeat, your own optimal ‘strategy’ that you made with your brain somehow.
Of course, it is natural that it fits well and is not difficult to understand.
At that time, the beast king, who had been memorizing the things I had told him for a while, asked.
“Are all warriors like this?”
“…yes?”
“These knowledge you gave me. To be honest, these aren’t things you can tell me for free.”
The Beast King stopped what he was doing for a moment and looked in my direction.
“And you, too, are not low enough to lower yourself like this. Of course, you must have felt that it was unreasonable.”
“….”
“It would have been possible to use his position as a hero to pressure us. I know too. I don’t think the country I rule is insignificant, but it can’t stand against an entire continent.”
The warriors receive so much support.
Especially in the case of me, thanks to diligently moving from the beginning, I am receiving the highest level of support and support.
…what’s up
There may have been such a way.
There is nothing you can’t do.
No matter what the relationship was before the return, there must be an option that I do not cover the means and methods for the purpose that I think is right.
but.
“That’s not a warrior, is it?”
“…Hmm.”
“I am the chosen one for humanity. Expelling demons from this world is certainly an important goal, but in the end even that is a premise for the purpose of protecting humanity.”
In the end, what the beast king is saying now is no different from ignoring the ‘premise’ in order to annihilate the devil.
The beast king laughed at my words.
“Does that mean that, in your eyes, we too are ‘humanity’?”
“You sound natural.”
“Huh, that’s right.”
The beast king laughed happily.
I just don’t know if my answer is exactly what he was hoping for.
But it seemed clear that it was pretty close.
“I see your thoughts and actions positively. Well, it might not be right as a king, but.”
“No, Your Highness is right. And even if the people of Garam don’t accept it right away… ….”
I said with a smile.
“Isn’t that something I can prove with my actions?”
“haha! Do you like it.”
With a truly hearty laugh, the beast king patted my shoulder.
“Sigh.”
To be honest, it hurts to hit roughly at that level, so it would be nice if they would take care of themselves a little.
“Then let’s continue. There are still many things to memorize.”
“That’s what you mean.”
The beast king quietly told me.
“Maybe next… …Can I step back three paces?”
“hmm? Well yes it is.”
At my words, he silently nodded, then took a few poses and pondered something.
Then.
“After that…I’ll try to catch up. No, he’s good at speed, so he won’t bother going in like that. I’ll try to use my special skill, so this time it’s a blind spot where my eyes can’t reach… …Hmm, at this rate, I should take about two steps.”
“….”
“Being fast is obviously a great talent, but it will also consume a lot of stamina. No matter how great the devil is, there must be a limit… ….”
The beast king muttered endlessly with a cautious expression on his own, making predictions and creating the situation.
What’s interesting is that the content he predicts itself matches the ‘pattern’ I originally prepared for memorization.
I watched it silently.
I don’t have to tell you any more.
If something doesn’t fit, I’ll correct it, but I don’t think that’s going to happen.
“Hmm.”
The beast king took a step.
There was nothing ahead.
But at that moment, his momentum sharpened and his eyes sharpened.
[That’s great. It seems like I can see the enemy the king is dealing with even with my own eyes.]
Set said admiringly.
In fact, as she said, it was as if I could see Ariok in my eyes.
Its characteristic gigantic physique.
The fishy smell of blood piercing the tip of the nose… ….
The guy is watching the Beast King with a fishy laugh.
I remembered.
He had been on his knees before.
Without being able to respond to his sudden change, the Beast King had no choice but to be defeated by him due to a ‘minor difference’.
Hoo-wook.
The beast king moved.
And he thrust his fist into the air.
A concise blow that does not contain complicated numbers.
However, the results that followed were inconclusive.
cooong!
The air around the area ruptures, cracks start from the floor, and a thick layer of dust fills the surroundings.
and.
[I won.]
“That’s right.”
The beast king’s outstretched fist. only once.
Surely.
it pierced the heart
* * *
I was on the roof of the palace of the beast king on the night I confirmed the realization of the beast king right in front of my eyes.
A panoramic view of Garam from afar.
It has a different style from an empire or a religious state.
Maybe it’s because Garam itself was made by beastmen from the East Continent.
“…Hmm.”
I smirked while waving the gourd given to me by the Beast King.
Did you say it was a reward for telling me something good?
It seems to be a pretty good drink in a bottle.
I don’t really like alcohol, but a few sips would be fine.
when I was looking at it like that.
“Here you are, warrior.”
A hard voice came from behind.
When I turned my head, Yeon Mi-ryeo with a complicated expression was standing there.
“Should I say Yeon Sojeo?”
“Just call the one that’s convenient for you.”
“Yes, then Yeon Mi-ryeo.”
I said that and handed her a drink.
“Would you like a drink?”
“…yes.”
After she said that, she quietly took a glass of wine. Then I sipped, staring blankly at the view.
“I apologize for not revealing in advance that I am a hero. You know… ….”
“I know. Garam’s perception of Gyokguk is the worst.”
She nodded her head bitterly, saying she understood.
“I have no idea about that. It’s ridiculous to blame the hero for that.”
“….”
“Besides, as a result, you helped me to go to Your Highness. Rather, it is a blessing.”
“Is that so.”
If you think like that, I’m comfortable.
After she said that, she smiled and took another sip.
“The reason why my expression is stiff right now is not because of you. just….”
“Revenge?”
“…yes.”
She nodded and asked me with a small sigh.
“Revenge with my own hands would be difficult, right?”
“that….”
Can Yeon Mi-ryeo face Ariok head-on?
Unfortunately, the only answer is that it is impossible.
She is not a weak warrior.
It’s just that the existence of the Archdemon Ariok is so out of the norm.
Although it was before the return, wasn’t it a monster that had once brought the Beast King to its knees?
“Yes, I guess. I know it’s hard to take revenge with your own hands.”
She nodded quietly.
As if you were expecting it.
“I knew from the start. you just have It’s bittersweet to know.”
I understand.
Those are the feelings that I also felt tired of.
“Should I say helplessness? I was left alone, but it wasn’t easy. In particular, I thought a lot while watching the battle between the hero and His Highness a few days ago.”
“What is that….”
What words would be best for her now?
I thought about it in my head for a while.
Do you think it’s not the same as others?
Feeling helpless and not actually succeeding in revenge… …
yes because it’s similar really.
“Your Highness will defeat the Blood Lion. I can be sure of that.”
“…yes.”
“So I think what you have to do is fixed.”
“If there is something to be done….”
I only realized that after going through a lot of trial and error, but there’s no way she’s like that either.
“Be confident.”
It may be regarded as mere positivity.
However, even the same words have different weight depending on who is saying them in any situation.
She will soon face Ariok in one way or another.
And no matter what attitude she takes in that situation, the memory will stay in her head for the rest of her life.
If so, you should be bold.
So that there is no shame when you recall the experience at a later date.
Even if it is not the best, there is no doubt that it is the second best.
“Be proud….”
“Then you will not be ashamed of yourself.”
At my words, she muttered the words for a while, then poured the remaining alcohol into the glass at once.
Then.
“It’s a bit bitter.”
With those words, something was brushed off.
