The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 263
“Are you still a hero…!”
Avaritia.
No, Mamon howled desperately.
As if he was resentful that I allowed a blow at the most likely time, he was glaring at me with a huff.
But it’s unfair.
“No, how do you stand it?”
A moving target is telling me to shoot right in front of me, but how can I not shoot it?
“Isn’t everyone like that?”
– No, I’m not wrong… ….
[Certainly not like a hero.]
The spirit and Set said at the same time.
“…hmm.”
what.
I’m being treated as if I’m abnormal for making normal judgments.
Isn’t it a situation where you should be praised for working well? It’s a transformation, it’s a nabal, and the guy who did it in front of the enemy’s eyes is stupid.
“Heh, it doesn’t matter….”
After saying that, Mamon’s empty right arm instantly regenerated.
“Whatever you do, the necessary rituals are almost done! Now that this has happened, I will stop your plans at all costs… …!”
– Did you restore it with the power you gained in the process of changing into your main body? Hmm, first of all, it’s a monarch.
“How do you know that?”
– Because I’m your father’s spirit?
“….”
weird. I don’t know why I get goosebumps every time I hear the word ‘Father’.
whatever
“Don’t act like you’re weak, just stand up, Mamon.”
“…under.”
At my words, Mamon stood up.
The humiliation of allowing the attack was still on his face, but the momentum in his body was different.
A complete demon.
It was only because I was ahead in information that I was able to drive him into a corner, but the great devil is still the great devil.
‘If I couldn’t deal with it, I wouldn’t have come this far in the first place.’
Thinking about that, I listened to the staff.
At that moment, Mamon frowned.
“Your spirits….”
“Oh, isn’t it divine? I am not a hero chosen by God for nothing.”
First of all, this means that you are a warrior.
No matter what you do, the fact that the hero is the opponent of an existence like the Great Devil does not change.
But where did my words sound funny? Mamon was mad.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! God’s choice? you! Are you saying that the ‘Walpurgis’ lineage was chosen by God!”
“It’s not unusual.”
At my words, Mamon laughed again.
“Isn’t it strange? no it can’t be Otherwise… …Don’t you know the truth about your bloodline?”
“….”
“Ah, yes, there is no way I don’t know! There’s no way a smart-headed person like you wouldn’t know!”
Mamon giggled for a while.
Then he looked at me and said.
“You are like us, Walpurgis!”
“….”
“The blood of a great god runs in you too! Warrior? No, you are a being that cannot represent humanity! Rather, with us… …!”
“Is that the end of the horse?”
I aimed the staff at Mamon, who just said what he wanted to say.
“< Judgement >.”
As soon as I finished my words, the pillar of light swept the place where Mamon was.
“Ouch…?!”
Of course, Mamon is not an idiot, so it’s not difficult to withdraw from the attack radius early.
However, as if there was no damage at all, Mamon was glaring at me while holding his right hand.
“It’s a waste. It’s an 8th circle magic, so if you hit it directly, it would have done quite a bit of damage.”
“Walpurgis!”
Mamon stretched out his hand.
At that moment, a pentagram of blood formed around the palm of his hand.
I know what it is.
devil’s blood.
The annihilation of the sorcery made with that blood.
Before returning, Mamon had slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people with that bloody pentagram.
Literally, the power to destroy.
but.
“You don’t know that your strength is specialized for large armies.”
It’s only effective when dealing with a large number of people.
If you deal with an individual, the efficiency of the annihilation he uses will be relatively low.
Just like that, I twisted the energy of mana flowing from the pentagram.
That moment.
“…?!”
The direction of the pentagram, which should have been aimed at me, was distorted.
Kwajik!
And the pentagram swallowed Mamon’s right hand in reverse.
Perhaps not expecting that much, Mamon took a backwards step with her face miserably distorted.
“Ouch…!”
“Hmm, it looks like the right arm that was regenerated flew off again.”
How would it feel to have a part blown off again within a few minutes?
I don’t know, but it must be pretty dirty.
rather good
“What did you do?”
“What do you do? You used your power against me. It is not impossible if you know the principle properly.”
“Reverse my power…?”
Mamon’s eyes trembled.
“By using my annihilation, which was recognized by the demon god, in reverse…You mean you tried to devour me!”
“I know.”
At my words, he took a step back.
“One of the powers received from the Demon God…Oh no, not just one… ….”
Before I knew it, my eyes were trembling nervously, as if I had seen a terrible monster.
“That’s right! You bastard! In your line, the blood of the traitor… …!”
“It’s not particularly important.”
Betrayal, Feeney, honestly, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t expect anything at all… ….
what do you mean
“The important thing now is that you die here.”
– Yes.
“…!”
With those words, the spirit wriggling in the staff opened its mouth and rushed towards Mammon.
It was like a ghost.
As a being born to eat demons, this guy itself is no different from the power of a living demon.
“What…?!”
There’s no way that Mamon, who worships that demon, can’t feel it.
Mamon, who narrowly escaped its teeth, trembled.
Perhaps he sensed something from it again, and he tried to walk away from me, taking a long backwards step.
– What is it like to eat? Be gentle.
The mouth dripping with saliva was torn open.
The spirit with bright red eyes was staring at Mammon as if it were looking at prey.
“What kind of demon is an existence that devours the monarch? …!”
“No matter how much power you reveal by showing your body, it means nothing to me, Mamon.”
I approached that guy.
“Your plan has already been figured out, and your wind will not reach the demon.”
“Can’t reach?”
At my words, Mamon looked at me blankly.
Then, perhaps realizing something, I looked around the empty space where no one was left.
Then.
“…ah yes It was.”
Isn’t that what it means to grow up and laugh?
“I wasn’t in a position to cover anything. It was a chase situation in the first place.”
“….”
“Didn’t you stand here prepared for sacrifice in the first place!”
With those words, Mamon stretched out his hand toward the sky.
That moment.
pounding.
‘Something’ that had spread throughout the area suddenly began beating.
As if the whole land became a heart.
And bloody red pentagrams filled the sky to the point of being terrifying.
[This…!]
“…< The Falling Sky >.”
I frowned and put the identity of the phenomenon he caused into my mouth.
< The Falling Sky >.
The biggest reason why ‘Mamon’ was able to exist as the Great Devil.
A symbol of pure blood with sin.
< The Falling Sky > was able to twist the ‘order’ that existed by using the blood around it.
Simply put.
As long as that bloody < falling sky > exists, this area will resemble the ‘outside’ of the world where the great demons originally existed.
But it requires a lot of preparation.
At least in a situation where everything is focused on the ritual right now, it would be quite difficult to enforce such a large-scale ritual… ….
“…You gave up.”
With that in mind, the conclusion is simple.
The guy gave up.
At this moment, I decided to give up my future and dedicate everything for my ‘god’.
As if to prove it, Mamon’s eyes were completely sunken.
He looked at me from the center of < The Falling Sky > with his arms spread wide.
“Do you know, Walpurgis? A long time ago, a wicked traitor emerged from among us.”
With those words, Mamon stretched out his hand.
He clenches his fist as if lightly grabbing something.
then that moment.
Kwadeuk.
Blood began to gather from the sky and from the ground.
It was never just blood.
drinker’s blood.
He had almost completed the ritual just before I came.
“Solomon. It is the first creature created by God and created to resist the wicked Asar’s arbitrariness.”
“set.”
[Yes!]
At this point, I’ve already decided what I’m going to do next.
He is now using the demon’s blood to do things unreasonably.
As if to prove it, Mamon’s condition was also never normal.
Even though he showed his body, he was suffering with black blood flowing from his eyes, nose and mouth.
That moment.
Kwajik!
Without the slightest hint, bright red nails flew at me.
But the set was a bit faster.
The storm frantically snapped his nails.
The pressure generated from it alone devastated the surroundings.
‘It’s good that he came alone.’
The demon’s blood itself is no different from a bomb containing enormous instability.
Even if I had made a plan to hunt Mammon, there was no ‘demon blood’ in that plan.
Even if they are aware of their existence, they are not perfectly prepared.
It would have been the best if I could have annihilated Mamon before he could do anything, but… ….
‘Things don’t always go so conveniently.’
Mammon was still standing.
No, it might be right to say that we have no choice but to stand.
Even a bastard would have to prepare for a heavy burden to directly use the demon’s blood.
‘Speaking of God’s blood, even a storm cannot guarantee perfect defense. Of course, it would be impossible to destroy them by surrounding them.’
Even now, this space has temporarily become his territory.
An environment in which I have no choice but to be at a disadvantage.
But then.
“Do you understand Walpurgis?”
“…?!”
Mamon, who must have had a hard time moving right away, was already right in front of me.
“Your blood runs through it.”
Kwajik!
Mamon’s claws pierced his shoulder.
I bit my lip.
‘I should have put on a shield!’
He wore a shield as well as a storm, but Mamon’s claws penetrated even that.
Is it because ‘Mamon’ is strong?
No, this is because of < Falling Sky > and the blood of God that he overreacted.
‘If this is enough, it would have been quite difficult even if everyone rushed before returning.’
If there’s anything better than then, it’s that now I’m wearing a lot of new things and I have a lot of tools available.
Although a pierced shoulder hurts terribly.
…Okay.
I had no idea from the beginning that this matter would be resolved without any damage.
This level can be blocked and resolved somehow with ‘abundance’.
“You were supposed to be hostile to mankind by nature, and the ‘right blood’ flows in you as you should!”
“I don’t know about that!”
“Ha, don’t be surprised! That means you already guessed the identity of the blood flowing through you!”
His red eyes flashed and he attacked me again with the other hand.
“Your ancestor traitor ‘Solomon’ made the wrong choice! Now you too! In the end, that blood repeats the same sin… …!”
Solomon, creator of < Longinus >.
He must be talking about him now.
The existence of the first patriarch I briefly glimpsed in Remegeton’s memory.
The first great wizard.
He already knew that he was no ordinary human being.
In the first place, it was already expected to some extent that it was a demon-like being.
he was in a hurry
I was preparing something and at the same time I was afraid.
Set must have known.
That’s why, before coming here, I hinted at Solomon.
but.
“So what do you mean?”
I grabbed the claws of the guy trying to pierce the shoulder on the other side of mine.
The man’s eyes widened when he saw it.
“You bastard Walpurgis…!”
“Yes, I know very well that ‘Solomon’ is the founder of my family and is related to you guys.”
But what do you mean?
Should I be astonished or despaired that my blood was related to the devil?
no it can’t be
i am a warrior
After going through that hell road before returning, he chose to become a hero himself.
I decided to shoulder the heavy responsibility.
Then what I need now is neither regret nor despair.
“But is that why I won’t stab you?”
“…!”
yeah no reason
furthermore.
“you.”
I stared straight at him.
I was able to be sure because I was directly penetrated and felt properly.
“Did you say Capra? The worm that used Kellibos to play tricks on my mother’s soul.”
“…!”
“Yes, it is similar. The ‘great monarch’ he said he served must be you.”
By this point, I could be sure.
avarice.
It was this guy who spurred Kelibos’ greed and ran rampant his obsession to send him off.
“Did you really think I would go through that and deal with you casually?”
“Big black…?!”
Kwajik.
Reversely, after pulling him in, he grabbed his face.
My distorted face was reflected in my two wide-eyed eyes.
ok, got it all
You don’t have to be patient anymore.
“Don’t think of dying gracefully, Mamon.”
I said glaring at him.
“I will not allow that.”
Admit it.
I am very emotional right now.
