The great mage who transcends by returning #265
There is no child who does not lament over the misfortune of parents.
Even more so if that ‘misfortune’ was caused by the desires of incompetent people.
“Go Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa… …!!”
I quietly looked down at Mammon, who was screaming desperately.
The use of the demon’s blood was now acting as poison to him.
don’t die
In terms of inflicting pain, not dying was very convenient.
This is because there is no need to adjust the intensity so as not to die or to treat it in the middle so that it does not die.
paralyzing the sense of time
Even if you break it to the point where people say to kill it, you will never die ‘right now’.
I repeated it several times.
He erased the concept of ‘time’ from him and showed fear and hope endlessly.
‘Because of this guy.’
Did humanity and mothers before the return have to suffer so much?
As a husband, the father will have to live with that burden for the rest of his life.
No matter how much you protect your mother’s soul, scars will remain in your heart.
My father lost his memories and increased the regrets he will recall someday.
Kwajik.
“Quaaaaaagh!”
The guy whose right arm was crushed by my magic screamed and struggled.
Of course, even that was played right away.
Before the return, all the great demons had room to spare.
Because the whole world was eroded like this land now, and even permanent.
However, if there is anything different from then, it is that I have been able to use it.
And after some time had passed, I pulled out some of the awls stuck in his body and opened my mouth.
“Are you ready to talk?”
“I am I….”
“Well, if you’re going to make the worst choice, I won’t stop you. The moment the demon descends, I will literally leave behind the traces of you who have been ‘transformed’ by divine power… ….”
He shrugged and spoke.
“In the head of the Demon God, the existence of ‘Mamon’ will remain at that level. It’s not a martyr or anything without meaning. just…Yes, you will remain a loser.”
“Ahhh….”
“As an idiot who ruined himself by arbitrarily touching the warrior’s wrath.”
What Mamon fears most is neither pain nor loss.
What he fears is being abandoned by the Demon God. Being downgraded to a ‘worthless existence’ by the demon god.
Well, if you hold out… ….
Does not matter.
Since the ritual he attempted was blocked, the original purpose was accomplished.
In addition, annihilating the ‘elders’ who hold the center of Pandaemonium would also be a great achievement.
“So I will ask you one last time.”
I looked straight at him and said.
“What exactly is Solomon?”
“…!”
He was thoroughly conscious of the existence of ‘Solomon’.
Of course, Set also seemed to know about Solomon to some extent, but the chest would be different from the information Mamon knew.
“….”
The guy hesitated.
I quietly put my hand on the staff that pierced him.
If you don’t want to say more, it’s better to destroy it like this… …
“I will tell you!”
At that moment, Mamon finally shouted.
His gaze briefly turned to < Longinus >, which was made by ‘Solomon’.
“Solomon the Cow is a wicked renegade who betrayed Him, the Creator.”
“I heard that.”
That Solomon is essentially the same as the ‘great devil’ and the creator of that < Longinus >.
I’ve already heard that much.
But what I want to know is not such simple information.
“What I want to know is what exactly Solomon was. Were you in the ranks of the great devil like you? Or was he a being created ‘specially’ by the Demon God?”
“….”
It’s a question I’ve heard before.
I was able to imitate the demon god’s authority.
It was only one or two, but I am aware that it is not trivial enough to be called ‘only’.
no that’s impossible
No matter how hard humans try and constantly grow, there is a limit to the natural species.
divine power.
Isn’t it the power granted to the Absolute who literally looks down on this world?
okay.
In other words, it is not a power that a ‘pure’ human can see through and imitate even if he sees some demon gods.
“for example….”
I quietly showed a stone the size of a fist in front of him.
Then… ….
Crisp.
simply annihilated.
“I could have done something like this.”
The stone has completely disappeared from this world, as if it never existed.
If you’re a Mamon who believes in the Demon God so blindly, you’ll know what this means.
“…ah.”
Mamon’s eyes trembled.
“Aaaaaaaaaa!”
In disbelief, he looked at the non-existent stone in my hand and began to twist and scream.
“Oh, no! So, how many generations did the renegade’s abilities manifest! What even the rice renegades couldn’t completely stabilize… …!”
“Looking at the reaction, it seems that this was not possible.”
Didn’t even that Solomon have the ability to use the authority?
However, judging from the fact that the word ‘appearance’ was used, it seems that it is not related at all.
That means that Solomon was a being with the potential to use authority.
There is nothing one can be sure of.
There wasn’t enough information related to the first family head. Even though he was a great mage who left a huge mark on the empire.
This is definitely not common.
“This is a nightmare….”
His face was filled with fear and confusion as if he was still in shock.
“How could Ba Walpurgis and, of course, a hero obtain his power…!”
“Stop talking nonsense and talk.”
I need some more information.
As long as it is certain that the existence is directly related to the demon god, the more information there is, the better.
“The little Solomon…He is a traitor. A renegade who dared to rebel against the Creator… ….”
“Are you saying it was the Great Devil?”
“Huh devil? Ah, that’s the term you guys use to refer to us. no they are different Essentially… …It was the same, but different.”
“…those?”
Wait, does that sound mean that ‘Solomon’ wasn’t the only one who rebelled against the devil?
If that’s the case, maybe you’re living in seclusion like the dragon… ….
“I don’t know. I really don’t know anything. Did they forget even the descendants of Solomon? hehehe… ….”
“….”
“It has no meaning. In the end, there was only one ‘Solomon’ left.”
Does that mean everyone is dead?
“The apostle was imprisoned in the tomb and could not do anything, but we were different. Periodically, it has brought chaos and hatred to the world. All the renegades who supported Solomon died in the process. What’s left… ….”
The guy stretched out his hand.
“you.”
His fingertips trembled.
“Only Walpurgis remains. It was so tenacious that he held on to us and wouldn’t let go. If need be, they did their best to destroy us by any means necessary.”
“…It’s just something I don’t know.”
“I told you. I mean, I didn’t discriminate between the ‘means’ and the ‘method’.”
He laughed as if he had lost his mind.
“You don’t mean to think that the process was unconditionally clean, right? Methods that could not be conveyed to the same members were mobilized.”
“It’s an unclean way….”
“Sometimes I even cooperated with the hero. If you think about it, something similar to you back then… …no it isn’t you are different You are more sinister.”
Fear flashed in his eyes for an instant.
He looked at me with an expression that seemed to see something he couldn’t understand.
“you…What. What the hell! Even Solomon wasn’t like this, so how the hell did a being like you appear in front of us!”
“I don’t know what.”
Let’s listen to what he says casually.
Anyway, if you put together what this guy said now, roughly this conclusion comes out.
“It is true that Solomon and his family were created from demons, but they are different from you demons.”
“Even if you are different from us, in the end your Source is Him. Not the Asar or the apostles you rely on now… …!”
“A bastard who tried to make my mother talk a lot.”
As I said that, I hit his head with a stone that was rolling nearby.
“Quaaaaagh!”
Mamon let out a scream with his head sunken.
It’s very convenient that it doesn’t matter how much you hit.
No matter how rough you treat this guy, there’s nothing wrong with it.
“Obviously, it seems that the demons specially created were my ancestors. I guess I was expecting too much… ….”
I don’t think I’m going to give the right information easily, so let’s get emotional for now.
“Unlike you, I mean.”
“That is…!”
The moment he was about to say something.
Kwajik.
The change was sudden.
“…uh?”
I didn’t feel anything.
Just in that moment when he closed his eyes and opened them, a pitch-black blade pierced Mamon’s chest.
“This….”
Mamon’s eyes began to tremble when he saw the blade that pierced his chest.
and at the same time.
thud.
My shoulders felt heavy, as if something I couldn’t resist had weighed on me, and cold sweat ran down my cheeks.
What Mamon uttered was neither despair nor a curse.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
It’s just crazy.
It seems that this situation is not fun at all.
what?
My thoughts stopped for a moment.
Looking at the reaction just now, it doesn’t mean that Mamon harmed himself.
If so.
“He answered!”
Suddenly, Mamon moved.
He didn’t even pay attention to the blade that pierced my chest, and even though his whole body was crumbling, he just moved and spread his hands toward the sky.
“no way.”
When I looked up,
the sky was bursting.
The sky, which has barely reached the top with the light of the round table, falls like broken glass.
what this situation means
I know because I have thought about it hundreds of times in the past.
The descent of the demon.
I thought that this might happen in a situation where he broke his silence and was about to reach out to the world.
But this… ….
“Kuhh…Cuckold! Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Mamon didn’t stop laughing even as he vomited black blood.
But there was no time to worry about it.
“This set is…!”
[Suddenly…?]
Set also had an expression of great agitation as if he hadn’t expected it at all.
He knew that the coming of the Demon God was really not far away.
Whether Mamon’s plan is blocked or whether Mamon trips over and fails, Advent will inevitably come true… ….
Of course, I fully thought about the possibility that the situation would be sudden.
‘Is that now?’
Does that happen here too?
no it can
What is here is the demon’s blood and the spear that pierced him, < Longinus >.
It’s not impossible if you think about the correlation.
just.
‘It’s not enough yet… …!’
I just wasn’t prepared enough.
The Round Table was resurrected, albeit imperfectly.
Six gods and apostles.
And until the demon descended, the stability of the empire and the kingdom that was completed by twisting the body somehow… ….
I did my best in my own way, but the devil is not an existence that can be completely stopped with just that.
Truly moving destruction.
For the first time after returning, my head hardened.
Even now, even though I struggled in my own way, the existence of a demon was no different from trauma in itself.
Really?
Essentially, now.
In this situation where Mamon’s plans are blocked and the situation is settled, the demon god?
I was prepared, but still, when the situation came, darkness came over me.
that brutal battlefield.
A corpse that couldn’t even close its eyes.
Heroes pierced by the spears of demons and turned into a terrible state A ruin dug up, an army of the dead rushing in. A pool of blood where maggots boil A hill piled with corpses A raven with an eye on it A despairing commander Betrayed and virtuous A human being fed… ….
It’s clear.
[Come to your senses, Mikhail!]
Then I heard Seth’s voice.
[I know what you’re thinking, but that’s not the case!]
“That’s right.”
I managed to shake off the horrors of the past that I had been thinking about for a while.
Seth is right.
If the Demon God descends, you have to deal with it somehow.
At least he didn’t say anything about it. That is, even if it descends, it cannot be perfect.
The moment I tried to come up with the next plan somehow.
pop.
Like a lie, everything went back to normal.
The bursting sky, the pressure on my shoulders, everything… ….
“ah?”
Mamon, who had been mad for a while, stopped laughing.
What’s left.
“What is it?”
It was only the body of a body that was rapidly collapsing after being pierced by something.
No, that’s not all.
Everything about the existence of ‘Mamon’ is becoming something that did not exist.
As if he couldn’t forgive the last words he said.
– Father, that’s over.
The spirit suddenly spoke.
– The end of the voice.
Mamon’s body began to visibly crumble.
The guy who had been staring into space with empty eyes looked up at the sky and shouted.
“My God. uh why… …!”
Even at the moment his whole body turned to ashes and disappeared, he shouted endlessly.
“Won’t you give me a way! Could it be because of that! That bastard, that renegade, is still your…!”
The words were not over.
Kwajik.
As if the next words could not be forgiven, ‘something’ had crushed Mamon’s body.
There is nothing left.
That was it.
It seemed like nothing.
It seemed that nothing had happened.
However, the strange remnants left behind when Mamon disappeared… ….
“…damn it.”
It resembled the one of the demon god
I had seen in the past .
