The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 266
“…In the end, this is what happens.”
Remegeton murmured as he looked at the sky beyond the window of the mansion.
It was scheduled.
But even so, it didn’t feel very good to see the moment when negative signs manifested.
The day the Creator had been so wary of was approaching.
The demons will finally break their long patience and reach out to the world, and the remaining great demons will descend on this land all at once.
The great devils who descended like that will exert a power different from those that came down beforehand, and plunge the world into confusion and fear.
The moment when the future that Solomon feared will unfold has arrived.
“…Really.”
Isn’t it too harsh to say that the future is scheduled for destruction?
Because it was created by an entity that had existed for a very long time, Remegeton had no choice but to naturally know ‘what he did not want to know’.
And the things that will unfold from this moment must definitely belong to that ‘thing you didn’t want to know’.
But why?
Now, that moment didn’t feel as scary as I thought.
…No, it’s an obvious fact that I’m still afraid of that moment to come, but what should I say?
‘Now that there is a possibility.’
Naturally, I think of that guy.
Mikhail Walpurgis.
He’s a guy who acts incomprehensible and somehow makes the not-so-natural things natural.
He saved a lot of things.
At the same time, he also saved his own future, which seemed to be rotting in this family’s mansion forever.
That could certainly be called hope.
Whatever Michael himself thinks.
“Lemegeton.”
As I was lost in such complicated thoughts, I heard a voice.
There was no need to think deeply about who the owner of the voice was.
“Aidan.”
Aidan Walpurgis.
Isn’t he the current head of the Walpurgis family and the father of the Mikhail I just remembered?
It was not for nothing that his lineage went somewhere, he was also a talented person who became the great mage of the 8th circle.
The Marquis told him.
“What on earth do you think you are looking through the window with such a strange face? If you’re thinking of breaking your promise and running away… ….”
“Imagination is free, but are you saying something possible? How could I break a promise made in the name of the Creator?”
“…hmm.”
The Marquis nodded at Remegeton’s words.
Certainly, he thought it was stupid.
“Then what were you thinking, looking through the window with such a serious expression on your face?”
“My creator, so…I was just thinking about your ancestor. It was the situation that the founder feared more than anything else.”
“…Uhm.”
At those words, the marquis’ expression hardened as well.
A great person who is the very root of the ancestors themselves and was recorded as the ‘first great mage’ in the empire.
“Are the records related to Sijo still unavailable?”
“Unfortunately. Right now.”
Remegeton nodded with a bitter expression.
If he could, he would like to reveal everything candidly.
Creator’s knowledge.
What kind of existence was he, the progenitor of Walpurgis, and what he clung to so desperately at the same time.
But that was not what the Creator wanted.
The Creator couldn’t completely trust even the descendants of his own blood… ….
He only believed in one thing.
“It has to be someone who has the qualifications. I’ve told you this many times before, but… ….”
“The problem is that we don’t know when that qualification will be attained. Will the conditions be fulfilled when our family is in good health? ….”
“Okay.”
Remegeton had also thought so.
That there might never come a day when there will be no one qualified for this ‘Walpurgis’ family.
but.
“I don’t know. Unexpectedly… …It might not be long.”
After seeing the strange being called Mikhail, that anxiety went away.
amazingly simple.
And now, perhaps, Mikhail may have attained that ‘qualification’.
“< Longinus >… ….”
The Creator did not even reveal its existence.
This is because it was believed that the spear that pierced the old gods would naturally find its destiny and be returned to its owner.
maybe that’s now
“Let’s prepare Aidan.”
“Are you ready?”
“Preparing for your son. Or you could say it’s preparations to meet the hero.”
“Hmm….”
The Marquis tilted her head for a moment at that sudden statement, but then nodded.
First of all, it is the words of the Daema Book.
I’m sure there are some naughty corners like this, but at least it’s not like this situation.
Instead he asked.
“Remegeton, do you consider my son ‘qualified’?”
“what….”
Lemegeton laughed.
“You will find out soon.”
* * *
After the extinction of Mammon.
For a while, we couldn’t move from our firm posture.
No, I was more like that.
For me, the existence of demons is directly related to the tragedies before returning.
The horrors I saw and lamented.
can’t you forget
Hate that despair… ….
– Father I don’t think you need to think too complicated.
Then the spirit approached and said.
– Even if that ominous existence were revealed, there would be nothing different for the father to do.
“It is, however.”
– So I guess that’s what happened. In any case, I don’t feel the existence of the Demon God right now ‘here’.
The spirit was right.
Except for the moment when he stepped out to annihilate Mammon, the existence of the Demon God is not felt here.
It must have been that he was offended by something Mamon was about to say.
At the same time, it seemed like he warned me as a hero.
“…It doesn’t matter.”
It is possible to be hardened by the intimidation of the demon god or to shrink from memories of the past.
But now that’s not the case.
Anyway, my goal is to permanently drive the demons out of this world and eliminate the demonic threat itself.
For that reason, I must no longer shrink from the demon.
That’s enough before the regression.
“after.”
After trying to calm my trembling hands, I straightened my shoulders.
“So did the devil eat well?”
– You can tell just by looking at the words coming out right now, right? It was a satisfying meal.
“Well, that’s it.”
Roughly speaking, this guy seems to have eaten the blood of the god he drank in the meantime.
Although I wondered how a single spirit could do that.
‘…Solomon.’
It may not be strange considering that the blood that flows in me belongs to Solomon, and that the ‘Spirit of the Trajectory’ is infinitely similar to me.
– So father. name is?
“The Dirty M….”
– If you want me to change into a spirit of despair and destruction, you can name it Father.
There was even a strange madness in the eyes of the guy who said that.
No, what are the eyes of the guy who calls me father?
No matter how you look at it, it’s a threat.
“What about Dirge? That guy is also a fairy that came from me. Brothers with a kind of soul… ….”
– It’s the same as the name Dirge, but putting the name of Unit 2 on the name of something that exists is disrespectful, father.
“….”
There’s no way to refute this because it’s saying the phrase again.
hmm name… ….
Unlike Dirge, he seems to have a lot of brains and seems to be quite picky about names.
What’s an appropriate name for this guy?
“Wise.”
– …hmm?
I looked at the guy with wide eyes and said it again.
“First of all, my family is a wizard anyway, and it is famous for its wisdom and knowledge even within the empire.”
– Whoa.
“And you, who came from me, are also related to those things, so isn’t it a fitting name?”
– surely…Not bad.
At my words, the boy nodded.
He nodded his head with a satisfied expression….
– I definitely feel like this suits me. Dad.
I laughed at those words.
He was a guy who couldn’t even say that he was good-looking even with empty words, so he had a rather bizarre appearance.
…whatever
“Then let your name be that way, and now….”
He turned his head and muttered.
“How do I do that?”
< Longinus >.
A sacred object that achieved the unprecedented achievement of piercing the demon god.
Looking at that overwhelming size, you can guess how huge the scale of the battle between the two gods was at the time.
[…] …< Longinus >.]
“I said it was a weapon made by my ancestor Solomon. Since he was created by a demon, he must have known about the existence of a demon.”
It means that it is a weapon made only to deal with demons.
Of course, since that size is so big, there’s no room for me to use it right now… ….
[I remember it clearly. The moment he pierced the demon’s body while holding this spear.]
“…hmm.”
[A while ago, I too felt the presence of a demon god. It was so clear that I couldn’t put it into words. I think there is probably no one among the apostles who is more sensitive to its presence than I am.]
Could it be related to the past that I once sympathized with the Demon God?
[The demon’s blood spilled onto the ground and he screamed in pain. I cried tears of blood while calling his name.]
“I have a question, but if Solomon existed when you were fine, wouldn’t you have cooperated more actively?”
[that….]
“If you were a person who could craft a weapon capable of penetrating the demon’s body and inflicting fatal wounds, you would of course have the upper hand in the battle against the demon. is not it?”
[That’s right. surely…It should have been as you said.]
Does that mean it wasn’t?
[I didn’t believe it. That’s all.]
“Hmm.”
A creature created by a demon.
From the apostle’s point of view, he couldn’t trust his birth.
It’s a stupid choice, but it’s not incomprehensible either.
Of course, there were some things that just didn’t make complete sense… ….
Once I decided to understand that.
Anyway.
This is something my ancestor made.
And it is also something that cannot be given up in that it has fatally wounded the demon.
Especially when you look at the current situation where the advent of the bastard has truly reached the corner.
‘No maybe… ….’
Perhaps the reason why the Demon God showed its presence earlier was not simply because of the punishment against Mamon or the threat to me.
Perhaps, there is a possibility that the demon has already existed somewhere in this world.
Without splendor or horror.
As if something had happened, they naturally infiltrated the world.
There is no possibility.
Or rather, it would be better to assume the worst possibility and act.
I don’t care if the guess I’ve just come up with is true or not.
‘There are seven tombs left.’
In order for the Round Table to fully revive as in the past, you must eventually conquer all the remaining seven tombs.
There really isn’t much time now.
The moment the devil fully reveals itself, the five great demons will come down together in the world.
…okay.
Unlike the seven who came down first, the elite who are favored by the Demon God.
And among them, the lord of anger and arrogance, who is called the pinnacle of sin, must also be included.
Of course, what to do is no different.
What is the apex of sin?
Like Mammon, put an end to it and annihilate it so that it cannot be resurrected again.
“hmm.”
Think positively.
There are five more people to destroy, right? Rather, it’s good.
“Then what about this now?”
I saw < Longinus >.
It’s a bit disrespectful to leave this here as it is at the point where the Demon God showed its presence.
I tried this and that with shrinking magic or subspace, just in case, but there were no results.
when you’re so worried
– Hmmm Dad.
“why.”
Weiss, who was still looking at < Longinus >, said to me.
– Can I eat this?
“…huh?”
What do you eat?
