As far as the results of
episode 257 of The Great Mage Transcend by Return,
the lord Viscount Cowl was obviously trash, but his younger brother was not.
It was fortunate.
We couldn’t stay here for long due to time.
Viscount Cowl… ….
I can’t tell you what happened. Wouldn’t it be buried under the ground in a porridge by now?
“…So that’s what I mean. The current Seil is a hell under the absolute devil.”
“It’s an intended hell.”
I clicked my tongue in response to Lian’s words.
The destination is clearly defined.
The ancient ruins that Avaritia is currently working on.
We must go there quickly.
It must be because there is a reason why he dared to reveal himself and urgently take care of the things he was doing well so far.
The descent of the demon.
As the foreseeable event is right around the corner, the probability that it is related to it is very high.
“You must have thought that you could use the incompetent king to eat. No, maybe the incompetent king ascended the throne without preparation in the first place was his goal.”
“…Mmm.”
“You have seen how meticulously the demons have been playing with them. It is by no means impossible.”
In particular, there are countless means that the Great Devil can mobilize.
But why hasn’t it happened yet?
not simple
because i have
I cut off their arms and legs, continuing to move from the point of regression.
He was selected as a warrior ahead of schedule and moved, preventing the corruption of the kingdom, which was the core of their plan.
It’s ridiculous to even say such a thing.
I did my best.
He roamed the world, reducing even his rest time to a minimum.
but aside from that.
I never underestimated the Prime Demons.
Enoch? Was there such an archevil? To be honest, I don’t know much about the great demon called Enoch.
…whatever
The important thing is that ‘Avaritia’, which is involved in this incident, is by no means an easy evil to see.
Pandaemonium’s ‘Old Man’.
He is someone I trust so much that the Demon God entrusted my voice to him.
Drinking is not stupid.
It means that there is a clear reason why he trusts him that much.
In fact, while I was roaming around and trying to keep them in check, he succeeded in making Seil completely his own.
It would be fair to say that few of the present nobility truly serve the king.
Even if there was, it would have been secretly purged by Avaricia.
“But what the Archdemon is doing now is too…Isn’t it obvious? It seems that this openly shows that the devil is involved… ….”
“It’s probably because I can’t afford it.”
Until a year or two ago, there was room in Pandaemonium.
Their plan was going smoothly and there was no need to assume ‘failure’.
But now it’s different.
They have suffered numerous failures, and more than half of the Great Demons have already been annihilated in the process.
In other words, they have already committed an irreparable mistake.
“On the day the demon descends, they need ‘achievements’ to offer to the demon. How did you corrupt the hero and how did you destroy the nation of mankind… ….”
“…I understood. That’s not to say there aren’t any plausible results at this point. That’s why I was impatient.”
“That’s right.”
Of course, that ‘achievement’ may not be the only reason Avaritia is moving impatiently now.
Perhaps the descent of the demon god.
That ‘omens’ might have something to do with his current move.
‘If you think so, you should definitely solve the problem first.’
There’s no way Avaritia wouldn’t know that I noticed.
In other words, it is highly likely that he even assumed that I would intervene and made a plan, and that he was moving accordingly.
“Of course, it will be clear if either arrives.”
Saying that, I turned my eyes to the capital that was slowly beginning to appear.
It is incomparably smaller than the capital of the empire.
But really.
“Wow, it’s really unnecessarily flashy.”
As Lian evaluated, the capital of Sale was really splendid without substance.
For no reason, the walls were covered with brilliant gold, and needlessly gigantic stone statues towered on either side of the main gate.
The problem is that I only think that the splendid thing is forced rather than grand or cool.
Would you say it’s like a sleepover?
“…Heo Originally, the land wasn’t like this, but I thought the capital would maintain its appearance.”
The butler sighed briefly.
“Is it a little different?”
“Yes, the original capital, so Phyllum was not that fancy. It was very clean and stable. Everything was in the right place.”
Originally, there were no stone statues of Crochen, as well as walls covered with gold.
It was just a neat and great capital.
Tourists visiting the capital were also able to enjoy the scenery of the capital comfortably.
The current situation is the ugliness that the king of the previous generation was most wary of.
“…This is really ugly.”
“I know.”
It wasn’t particularly surprising.
Crochen in my memory was just this incompetent. He was the race I hated the most and
was one of the few ‘abandoned’ types prior to the return.
“What are you going to do? First of all, according to what you said, I think King Crochen is already under the influence of the Great Devil.”
“I guess so.”
It’s not just that they’ve been touched, they’re already like puppets.
I may not know it myself.
…Just like before the return.
* * *
“Huh haha!”
Avaritti shuddered with joy and burst into laughter.
A huge pillar towered high into the sky before his eyes.
As if it had been neglected for a considerable amount of time, the pillar was damaged to such an extent that it would not be strange if it collapsed at any time.
But strangely, there were cracks everywhere and even though it was broken, the pillars did not fall down.
“Finally found! Oh god! I have found the land on which you have sown your glorious blood!”
glorious blood.
A long time ago, their great god was defeated once.
No, it can’t be called a complete defeat.
As a result, the enemy who dealt with God lost his eternal life and died.
However, although the god lost a bit of power, his body was still intact.
‘The winner was him in the end.’
But not everything has a price.
He survived splendidly, but in return, he lost the right to exist in this ‘world’.
What a terrible thing.
Because of that, I couldn’t fulfill my long-cherished wish, and I just watched all these things from the other side of the world.
“Ah, I feel it.”
Avaritti put her hand on the pillar with a reverent expression. No one in this world knows what this ‘pillar’ means.
Slowly, his gaze went down.
As the gaze went down, black parts that looked like rust began to grow on the pillars.
yeah you wouldn’t know
What is this ‘pillar’ and what is the black thing spreading at its end?
“…< Longinus >.”
A terrible cursed spear that pierced the gods.
If so, it is needless to say what the identity of what is buried in it is.
“It is an honor to face such a great bloodstain, Lord.”
He bowed on his knees with a thrilled expression.
To him, a spear stained with the blood of a god is a kind of sacred object.
“Avaritia-sama, this is….”
“Yes, yes.”
At those words, the demons following Avaritia all fell to their knees.
the place where God lies.
The land of that sacred blood.
If so, why did he come here even when he was prepared to be exposed to the hero?
The reason is simple.
“This land, stained with his blood, will be our new home.”
Humanity’s sanctuaries are increasing one by one.
Didn’t the seal on the tomb of the hateful enemy come loose and the apostles began to find their strength?
If so, they too need a sanctuary against him.
Originally, all of this should have ended right away. If all went according to plan, this would all have been over a year ago.
‘…Warrior.’
Avaritia’s eyes darkened.
When I think about the hero, my insides boil.
One by one, the well-laid plans collapsed.
All of the scheduled paintings have been distorted, and what remains is the current situation that has come to this point as if driven.
If you make plans, break them.
If you modify it there and try to catch it off guard with a different plan, it stabs you in reverse as if you saw through even that.
As if he knew from the beginning what to do.
Obviously the same this time.
‘You guys must have noticed.’
He must have noticed even his own plan and came all the way here.
But it’s okay.
Because I’ve been prepared.
This time, even he won’t be able to get to this point easily.
No matter how great a warrior, what could he do against the country?
Guys have their limits.
It is the ‘correct rule’ that a warrior can never escape.
If you are a hero, you can never stand up to innocent humanity.
The warriors so far have been like that.
In the first place, that ‘right side’ is what makes a hero exist as a hero.
He has made many preparations in the capital for this moment.
What will he think when he arrives at the capital?
“Wander around as you please.”
Avaritia muttered that and slowly began the ritual.
It will be a long ceremony.
But the moment the ceremony ends.
‘We will stand up anew.’
* * *
“…hmm.”
As soon as I entered the capital, what I saw was a dazzling sign hanging on a building.
< Avaritia General Store >.
< Avaritia Pharmacy >.
< Avaritia Forge >.
The streets were covered with signs bearing the name ‘Avaritia’.
Literally an overwhelming number.
Besides, in the square.
“No crazy.”
Avaritia, isn’t the stone statue of that goddamn old man standing proudly?
It’s ridiculous.
I would have thought that there would be a stone statue of the great devil in the middle of the plaza, trying to slaughter and crush mankind.
I’ll turn, really.
“I heard that you are active as a merchant, but it seems that you have achieved considerable results.”
Herma looks around at them with interest and begins to record them step by step.
Then he said in passing.
“But to spread my name all over the city to this extent, it must mean that I have the king’s authority on my back. It is as you said.”
“…That damn bastard.”
Is there anything different about this Crochen from before the regression?
Could it be that I couldn’t make the least amount of effort to make a selection by inheriting the will of my outstanding father?
When I was looking around like that.
“…uh?”
Ariandel looked around, his eyes wide, and he stopped.
“Mikhail that….”
“hmm?”
When I turned my eyes in the direction she pointed, I saw a building that was all collapsing there.
Lice were chipped everywhere and the wallpaper was damaged, revealing a hideous interior.
It is a building, so it should be said that it is so terrible that it is impossible for people to live in it.
Being sandwiched between the splendid ‘Avaritia’ buildings nearby, the misery stands out.
But wait.
“…Isn’t that a temple?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Ariandel also said that with a puzzled look on his face.
yes it is a temple
I didn’t know it because my eyes went to the shabby side first, but if you look closely, you can see Hekau’s pattern is faintly engraved.
“Is it the capital temple? I don’t think the temple in the remote countryside is like that either.”
“I mean.”
Answering Lian’s words, I headed toward the temple.
As we got closer, a much more serious scene was revealed.
There were rubbish and filth all over the place that would raise eyebrows, and even obscene graffiti were painted here and there.
Respect for the temple could not be seen at all.
‘I’m just guessing… ….’
It’s not good to just pass by like this, so let’s check the circumstances and details.
I want to go in like that… ….
– Go back too! What the hell are you going to do… …!
A weak shout came from inside the temple.
Despondency Despair Sadness… ….
A voice full of all sorts of negative emotions.
And let’s open the door
“If you come in any further than this, I will stab you! say boo sure… ….”
An old man in shabby clothes was pointing a blunt spear at me.
The hand holding the spear trembled.
Just looking at them, they were neglected without being able to eat properly.
“…I don’t know what you’re doing, but I didn’t come here with the intention of doing any harm. Calm down.”
After I said that, I closed the door as soon as I entered and surrounded the entire building with mana.
With this, you won’t have to worry about the sound leaking out.
“You know how to believe that! How many times have I been fooled… …!I know who you are and I… …!”
“Ah, you don’t know in this state.”
I solved the ‘mirage’ while looking at the old man who was wary of me.
Then my true self was revealed.
And the moment I checked my appearance, the old man’s eyes widened.
if the priest
No, because there is no way that the archbishop would not know my appearance.
Empty!
The spear the old man was weakly holding rolled on the floor.
He looked at me with disbelief eyes and spoke to me in a watery voice.
“…Yo warrior?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
I nodded my head with a wry smile at his words and asked.
So then… ….
“Could you explain to me what the hell happened to this situation?”
First of all, let’s sort this twisted situation somehow.
