The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 262
He was staring out into the distance with his blood-red eyes open in the thick darkness.
Having existed in this darkness for a long time, he has been looking ‘beyond’ through a small window.
There are limits to what can be done.
Originally, it must have been his world where he could do anything… ….
【….]
But after that day.
All that changed after a great battle took place against a being who had been an old companion.
His things are not his, and the world is covered with heinous defects.
It was terrible.
It is his duty to recover what was originally his and wipe out the things that arbitrarily occupied the place.
but nonetheless.
【…You.]
I think about it from time to time.
The eyes of a close friend who seemed to be together forever.
Of course it doesn’t make any sense now.
Didn’t you realize from that moment that neither side could compromise with each other?
and the result.
In the end, what is left is yourself.
thud.
As he reached out, a huge wall blocked his advance.
I know what it really is.
Hekaw.
…Yes, the last deterrent left by the other half of an old mate is preventing his intervention.
But that is also a matter of time.
Over the years, this ‘wall’ continued to thin and gradually crumble.
There really isn’t much left now.
【It will be here in the end.】
He stretched out his hand.
That moment.
flinch.
– Please listen to me!
A voice he heard a long time ago grips his fingertips.
– ‘Eternity’ cannot continue forever! Please think of the ‘non-eternal future’! please!
【….]
How did you react to those words?
I don’t remember very well.
Since he is an ‘unforgettable existence’, if he can’t remember, he’ll just make him forget.
You can find it if you want to, but you don’t feel the need to.
If you decide to forget, it must mean there is a reason.
So he didn’t hesitate.
His outstretched hand touched the wall again.
thud!
A heavy noise echoes through the dimension… ….
Kwajik.
something is broken
* * *
< Longinus >.
The identity of < Longinus > that Set spoke of was quite unexpected.
A spear that pierced God.
that day…It is said that < Longinus > was used by Asar to pierce the demon’s soul and expel it from this world.
“All I saw was the word, but was it the name of such an important weapon?”
Well, if you think about it that way, it makes sense for Avaritti to react that way.
The spear that pierced my god.
If the ‘Hero’ had mentioned it, it would be natural to suspect that there might be something.
[The spear has the blood of a demon. As you know, the blood of a god cannot be erased no matter how many years pass.]
“It will not lose its power.”
Thinking like that, I can definitely understand why Avaritti was so impatient and desperate to move.
To the devil, < Longinus > is the culprit who hurt the great god, but at the same time, it is also a holy relic with the blood of the god.
That’s what the ‘Hero’ put in his mouth.
Not just a hero, but a reference to a being who destroyed four monarchs like himself.
It would have been natural to be vigilant.
‘…Thinking like that definitely increases the risk.’
There’s no way Avaritia would just quietly store her god’s blood, so if he were to use it… ….
“This is going to go too far as expected…” ….”
That also means that it goes as expected, which I least hoped for.
“Maybe I need to be more prepared for this.”
[That means….]
I remembered the time before the return when the demon descended and the world collapsed.
And ironically, that time is right around the corner now.
Of course, the ‘exact time’ cannot be specified.
Indeed, when the demon god descended and in what form it appeared to the world, it has not been witnessed.
but….
I clearly remember the fact that the ‘descent’ of this demon itself will always happen, ignoring any causal relationship.
And if it is now.
“I have to go right away.”
[Do you need any other preparations?]
“I did that right away.”
It doesn’t matter what Avaritia is up to.
Just as we were unilaterally driven by them before the return, this time we are unilaterally driving them out.
Let’s see, the coordinates I received from that spirit… ….
– dad.
Then suddenly the guy called me.
I don’t know why on earth, but it felt strange that this title of ‘Dad’ made me goosebumps.
“why.”
– I ask in advance, but when I get there, can I ‘gorge’ on my own?
With those words, he looked at me.
In the process of swallowing that massive malice just now, its shape changed more clearly.
If until then he was simply a threatening-looking skeleton, now… ….
‘Something like a person.’
Either that or it’s like the devil.
Should I say that he has a strange duality?
I have nothing to say if that is the trajectory of my life.
“It doesn’t matter.”
– Then, if it’s limited to ‘satisfying’, I’ll do whatever I want.
A spirit that eats demons.
Certainly, when I think about it, I can say that this is my trajectory.
It’s certainly nothing strange considering that the spirits of the tracks are all different and show off their own personalities.
I guess you should know though.
“What exactly will happen to you if you eat demons?”
– Be strong. And maybe… …I think I will be able to define the existence of ‘me’ more precisely.
Are you saying you can find your identity?
Identity as a spirit.
– And in addition, Dad will also get a reflective benefit together.
“What if it’s a reflex benefit?”
– dad…hmm no no Yes, isn’t my father currently experiencing some degree of stagnation?
“You mean the 9th circle?”
– Yes.
The spirit continued.
– The father’s realm does not match the soul and reality. The spirit is high, but the reality is not keeping up.
That’s true.
Originally, the great mage of the 9th circle.
Certainly, looking at ‘Circle’ itself, it is true that I have not yet caught up with myself before returning.
But can you solve it?
– It swallows countless demons and the power absorbed in the process is instantly refined. i am that
“…her.”
– As a warrior, my father has to exterminate demons, and I have to eat those demons. I think it’s probably the best win-win relationship.
According to this guy, this could definitely be called an opportunity.
It is possible to meet the conditions of reaching the 9th circle at the same time as attacking Avaritia.
But the question arises here.
“…Are you sure the spirit is right?”
– What are you talking about? Is that what the person who created me is asking?
“hmm.”
that’s it again
The fact that he asked for a name in the first place means that a proper identity was not established in the end.
– I am part of my father anyway. In the end, what I want to eat is also a process of helping my father.
“….”
– It means that I was born in such a way that I could not do anything that would cause problems for my father.
That wasn’t a lie.
Actually, this guy is subordinate to me.
– Only hmm. When appropriate… ….
The guy laughed.
– Won’t you give me a good name?
There was no lie in that guy’s words.
* * *
“Big uh….”
Avaritti didn’t even think to wipe the black blood flowing from her mouth, she just had to concentrate her mind desperately.
This is your own fight.
Her own fight that neither Enoch nor Belphegor, who are currently alive, can help.
‘Should I have lifted Belphegor’s probation and asked for his cooperation?’
Enoch was not helpful in the first place, so even so, Belphegor must have been helpful.
A hasty restraint order may have acted as poison.
This is not to say that the decisions of the day are not without an emotional aspect.
But what happened is what happened.
‘I…Should be!’
The warriors will come soon.
What he can do is to somehow awaken this ‘blood’ regardless of means or methods.
Thinking so, I desperately tried to use the god’s blood to erode the surroundings and turn it into a suitable land for him to descend.
“How does Malanak work….”
Avaritia, who was working in the middle while drawing camps, called her subordinate.
But why?
“…Malanak?”
Subha, who would normally have responded quickly to his words, could not hear the answer.
no that’s not the problem
‘I can’t feel it!’
The moment she realized that, Avaritti felt a chill run down her spine.
I couldn’t even detect it.
In just an instant, the existence of Malanak was erased from this space.
‘Are you a warrior?’
Avaritia raised her head.
Darkness filled the surroundings, where only silence lingered.
Normally, I would have been happy with this darkness where I couldn’t see an inch ahead.
But now it’s different.
He knew for the first time that darkness can feel so burdensome and terrifying.
Urgently summoned nearby demons.
“Those who can answer, answer!”
“That Garen is here….”
“Nebusach…Cuck.”
Hearing an answer, it frightensly stops without ending.
The good news is that the work that has been desperately rushed so far has been almost completed.
He drew the last letter on the ground and slowly got up.
drip drip
I fell to the floor with cold sweat on my chin.
nervousness? Does this mean that you are feeling impatient?
It is the incarnation of desire.
You, the source of all greed.
“No, no.”
I don’t know what it will be that crawls through this darkness in an instant and devours my subordinates, but it doesn’t matter.
The moment you make a promise to yourself and try to move.
Kwajik.
“…?!”
has disappeared.
When he realized it, his right arm had already evaporated.
Avaritia looked where her right arm should be with trembling eyes.
‘It doesn’t play again.’
Shouldn’t the body that was damaged as the Great Demon be restored immediately? but it doesn’t play
what? why?
Several assumptions came into my mind in the sudden situation, but none of them worked.
One thing is certain:
the heinous ‘hero’ is related to Walpurgis’ lineage.
And the thought is terrifying.
“Get excited. If you went a little further to the side, you could have chewed your throat.”
– No, I was going to do that, but that devil just avoided it. father.
A bright red light emerged from the darkness.
An ominous color reminiscent of the old ‘traitor’ from a long time ago.
Something different from the bloody color… ….
Two eyes with the cursed color that only that traitor possessed.
“Warrior…!”
While staggering, Avaritti somehow managed to stand up and bit her lip.
The hero Mikhail looked at him and smirked.
“Hey, you must have suffered quite a bit? However, it would be difficult for even you to be sane after receiving the same price as the entire capital.”
“How the hell are you…!”
“Well, that’s none of your business.”
After answering that, Mikhail looked at the huge spear < Longinus > beyond Avaritia.
“It’s good. Seeing that it’s still intact, it seems it’s not too late.”
“Shut up!”
Avaritti shouted.
The situation had already taken an infinitely unfavorable turn for him.
But it’s not without hope.
If only we could complete the ritual centered on the blood of God, He would come down.
“No matter how great you try, I will make sure you can’t run amok anymore!”
“…I intend to open my body.”
Mikhail looked at Avaritia with sunken eyes.
Wow!
A strong energy began to swirl around him.
True name hidden in the old body supports the body and evokes vitality by following the voice.
Demon of Greed.
The bent waist was straightened, and the arms and legs were lengthened.
A bizarre shape that cannot be seen as human.
And four black wings began to sprout from its back.
Wow!
A feeling of fullness that fills the whole body!
The sense of helplessness and hopelessness from before had weakened to the point where it was hard to find a trace.
Avaritti proudly raised a huge jet-black storm and saw her body almost ending its transformation.
“Yes, I am…!”
and that moment.
“Oh yes, < Mamon >.”
Hoyt.
Without the slightest hesitation, Mikhail attacked.
Jiing!
And the great demon Mammon, who had just regained his body and was intoxicated with his fullness, could not escape it.
“Keep loud?!”
Mammon collapsed back down as he was, putting his good spirits to shame.
Mikhail looked at him pathetically and said.
“Is it an idiot to openly transform in front of an enemy?”
– Certainly not wrong.
Still, there are rules.
father.
…that is the rule.
