The great mage who transcends by regression, episode 249
“Let go the fuck!”
“Oh, no! Stop it, Mikhail! He really dies after doing this!”
The set desperately stopped me from going mad.
Returning to her original body, she clung to my body with tears welling up at the tips of her eyes.
And at the end… ….
“Keep huh….”
A battered Thoth was lying between the collapsed library.
This time, even the power that was protecting the guy’s body couldn’t completely protect him, and he had no choice but to be beaten by me.
But it’s not enough.
This bastard did something he shouldn’t be doing now, I confessed.
even.
‘I’ve never heard of it before returning.’
In other words, Thoth didn’t tell me about this until the end.
Were you guessing a regression?
No, then you should have revealed the truth to me even more.
stop it?
It’s a baby. You shouldn’t have just said that, but you should have told me that something like that happened before the return.
“You fuck! Nothing has changed! If you’re going to tell me, you should have said it before!”
“What I say is…Assuming that all of this has failed, the conviction that it can be changed… ….”
“Gasp your mouth, you bastard!”
My body moved all of a sudden.
Still, at this level of expressing anger, it is said that my emotions are still manageable.
After running wild for a while, when I finally got my head cold, I threw the staff at me.
“after….”
mix demons and humans
It’s obvious, but it’s an idea that I can never tolerate. I think it should not be tolerated.
Thoth, who had been coughing up blood for a long time, muttered weakly.
“It’s something you shouldn’t do. I thought it made sense, but… ….”
Thoth said with a laugh.
“From your reaction, I must have failed. And in the most devastating way.”
“It was smashed. From the first time I saw it, I thought something was strange.”
“…If what I did failed, it’s not strange that it would. It is a situation within the calculation.”
“Is it related to that homunculus?”
“That would be the only thing. If it exploded before stabilizing… …It is very likely that a disaster has occurred.”
therefore…Let’s wrap it up.
“Either they did human experiments or something.”
If he said that, I thought I would beat him even more.
If you screw it up so that you can’t even talk, you won’t even be able to talk.
But should I say I’m lucky?
“It is not. No matter how much I am, I know the minimum ‘good’. just….”
Thoth had a somewhat distant expression as if thinking about the past for a moment.
“What I did was to instigate people’s thirst for knowledge. You, too, should be familiar with ‘twilight’.”
“In other words, the reason why the founder of ‘Twilight’ created a school….”
“It was created based on the insights I gained in this library.”
Thoth spoke in detail.
The guy sometimes stimulated the knowledge desire of scholars who came to the library by ‘accidental route’ and led them to go outside and endlessly research.
And the achievements obtained by the scholars who were obsessed with the madness of knowledge went back to Thoth.
That was the ‘price’ for entering the library in the first place.
“Of course, what they have done is entirely up to them. I just took the by-products in between.”
“Do you know what happened because of your thirst for knowledge?”
The words of the twilight were terrible.
topic?
Yes, maybe Thoth showed ‘possibility’ to them.
or hope.
Perhaps Thoth had some mercy on them.
But i know
They literally abused and broke themselves constantly to escape their limited possibilities.
“…know.”
Thoth let out a small sigh.
“I gave them a chance, but I wasn’t aware that that possibility could lead to ruin.”
“Is this what you did?”
“Because I was desperate.”
The guy continued.
“The Demon God was gradually increasing its influence. But what can I, an apostle, do? There was nothing here other than reading a book and waiting.”
Thoth laughed.
“I had to do something.”
“….”
I quietly listened to the staff again.
Thoth asked me in a cold sweat.
“…Why are you listening to that again?”
“From now on, every time you talk nonsense, hit me. Shit, after all that bullshit, is the last thing you came up with is the crazy idea of mixing demons and humans?”
“Effective in its own right….”
“Do it.”
The power of the staff was solid.
Thoth’s mouth, which looked like it would float even if thrown into the water, finally closed.
Let’s use it often in the future.
“…ha.”
Thoth let out a small sigh.
“Anyway, I created the ‘Homunculus’. But one problem arose. therefore….”
“Were you an imperfect being?”
“Yeah, that’s it.”
“I must have felt the need to settle down. If an artificial being with a mixture of demonic and human properties runs rampant, there is a possibility that it will turn into a disaster.”
I thought and said that.
Then, did this guy create < The Hill of Books > for that reason?
Then, the homunculus he created.
It must still exist.
Its true identity… ….
“Sage.”
“that’s right.”
At my words, Thoth nodded.
[Sage…!]
Set shouted.
[The sage was a mixture of demonic and human natures?!]
“I needed to learn, and I wanted to experience scholars and gain enlightenment.”
“under….”
Once the head cools down a bit.
Then I started to see things that I hadn’t seen before.
I roughly knew
It is clear that Thoth had been shoveling heavily once, and it was a disaster because of it before returning.
If < The Hill of Books > was not destroyed by outside intervention, but the disaster was caused by the homunculus… ….
“Give me something new.”
There is no time.
You have to move right away.
“You are still going through an ordeal….”
“Stop talking nonsense. I’ll clean up the poop you spread, so pass it right away. After that you… …see you later I feel like I have a lot to say.”
At my words, Thoth put on an expression that he couldn’t understand, but eventually nodded.
He must have realized that there would be no point in holding out any longer.
“Is there a method you have in mind?”
“I don’t know.”
I came here right away, but how could I have known it would be such a piece of shit.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t stay still.
I know the future will be smashed, but I can’t just watch it.
“I have to do it anyway.”
I feel like I’ve said something similar many times, but what… ….
“Because you are a warrior.”
Ultimately, the conclusion is this.
* * *
“Huh….”
Everyone was silent for a while after hearing the story from the sage.
Homunculus.
An unstable being created by a combination of demonic and human traits.
And the sage in front of me right now is the ‘Homunculus’.
“It has been around for quite some time. The Creator has been working for a long time to make me perfect.”
“Are you saying it didn’t go well?”
“Yes, no matter how much he is, it seems that it is not easy to make me perfect as a created being.”
The sage spoke calmly and took off the hood he was wearing.
then that moment.
The body, which was like that of an old man, began to slowly shrink and then lowered as if he were wearing ill-fitting clothes.
And that’s how it turned out.
“…her.”
body of a small child.
The ‘sage’ struggled to get up, wriggling with a small body that barely reached the waist of an adult.
“The result is this.”
The sage said so with his red eyes gloomy.
“…Emotions that become blunt as time passes by the physical body that cannot grow.”
“Heh heh….”
The butler couldn’t hide his embarrassment.
He had no choice but to be more perplexed because he had the experience of seeking knowledge in < The Hill of Books >.
“…When the hell did this happen, Herma-sama?”
“It was from the beginning, Merdin. From the time your ancestors began on this < Book Hill >.”
“Uh um….”
The butler just shook his head with a confused expression as if he didn’t know what to say.
Ariandel asked cautiously.
“What exactly does it mean to be blunted?”
“What shall I say? I would say it seems to be moving away from human emotions.”
The sage continued.
“If you think about it easily, it means that you are getting closer to the devil. Unfortunately.”
There was not a single bit of pity in the wise man’s voice when he said that.
As if there was no emotion left to imitate pity.
“Then what would happen if it was completely overtaken…?” …Do you know?”
“Hmm, that….”
The wise man tilted his head and continued talking after a while.
“The life force required to maintain my existence is enormous. The Creator put in no small amount of life on both sides to make me perfect. And as a result, there is now a life force boiling within me that is out of balance that I dare not guess.”
“ah….”
“Merdin, when you were on this < Book Hill >, me and your teacher were the same. Likewise, I existed when the progenitor of ‘Twilight’ existed.”
“…!”
“That means I’ve been around for that long, but on the contrary… ….”
The sage said while staring at everyone with gloomy red eyes.
“It also means that I have enormous power to corrupt and destroy this area.”
“then…!”
“Killing me is not recommended. I’m not even sure what kind of unexpected situation will happen in the process.”
At those words, everyone’s faces twisted.
Because I realized intuitively that the sage was not lying.
“then….”
What to do.
Everyone, including Ariandel, desperately tried to come up with a solution.
The reason the sage is saying this now is probably because he doesn’t have much time.
“Of course, this is not because I want to do something right now. I just wanted to explain that I needed help.”
He said that and raised my hand.
The bright red aura burned unsteadily, simmering as if it would devour his body at any moment.
It was clear that it was not a good situation.
“I am…Can I check it out?”
“Yes willingly.”
He said that and held out his hand.
Ariandel carefully held his hand to confirm….
“…?!”
At that moment,
KiGeek!
“Ugh…?!”
Ariandel quickly withdrew his hand from the sage because of the instinctive reluctance.
The dark aura that had been holding her for a moment lingered around her fingertips and then disappeared.
“This is….”
A greedy power that wants to devour even her, who wouldn’t be strange to be called the incarnation of divine power.
An evil that even covets divine power.
It was only then that she was able to guess the true nature of the power that the sage had described as dangerous.
The power that the wise man now harbors is an evil that is immune to human potential.
If it is resolved properly, it will be the power of salvation against the devil, but if not… ….
‘ruin!’
The worst future flashes through my head.
I see a doomed future that will literally devour and destroy everything.
‘What should I do?’
Ariandel was troubled.
If the wise man’s words are true, how should he deal with the wise man’s problems? A situation where even the slightest mishandling can turn into a huge disaster.
It is by no means an issue to be approached lightly.
But you can’t just stay still.
Lack of experience robbed her of her composure.
It was a very harsh situation for her, who had just started fulfilling her duties as a saintess in earnest.
But then.
– Will it be okay?
A strangely nostalgic voice came into my head.
It was a bit dry and dry though.
It definitely sounded like Mikhail’s voice. Lately, there have been more and more times like this.
And feel safe.
My complicated mind calms down a little and my messy mind is organized to some extent.
She looked at the sage with a genuine expression and said.
“I’ll wait.”
“That word.”
“There is someone else who is qualified to solve your situation.”
Yes, the right person is not here now. But I’ll be back here soon.
Then you just have to wait.
“I’m not here right now, but the hero will be back soon.”
“If you are a warrior….”
A bitter smile crept across the sage’s lips. He seemed to remember something.
“He must be seeing the Creator now. However, if I had seen the Creator, there is a possibility that I would not be in such a good condition… ….”
when I was about to say that.
“It’s late.”
Suddenly, without a trace, a voice came from behind.
The sage looked back at the voice heard in an unexpected situation.
blonde hair and red eyes.
There was a rumored hero.
Hero Mikhail Walpurgis.
He had a staff with bright red blood dripping in one hand… ….
Huh? The staff… …?
Perhaps feeling his gaze, Mikhail smiled broadly and said,
“Somebody broke their head and came late haha!”
“…yes?”
Whose head did you break?
The sage wanted to ask, but decided to stop due to rising anxiety.
