The great mage who transcends by regression Episode 274
“Hmm, this is true….”
‘Lian’ saw Lian lying in rags in front of him with his legs crossed.
It’s not just a metaphor.
He was literally shattered and crushed all over.
And the person who made him that way is this ‘Rian’.
“Is there such a thing as learning ability? you said Now is the time to accept it. I am your future.”
‘Rian’ said firmly as if he had nothing to hide now.
“To be precise, you could call it a ‘failed future’. It’s a bit strange to say that, so let’s compromise to the point of your future.”
“Cah gagh….”
sick. no, what is pain?
After all, isn’t that just a response signal generated by the brain?
If so, he may not be suffering now.
Lian’s condition was not normal enough to come up with such a ridiculous idea.
‘I thought I almost reached it.’
Originally, for Lian, ‘Master’ was the goal of his life.
No wonder.
Master was the highest level a swordsman could aim at at this point.
Right now, even the first knight in the empire couldn’t cross the wall beyond that ‘master’.
That’s why Master is the strongest.
That would be the “peak” he could aim for.
See it now.
Even that guy who calls himself my future hasn’t reached beyond Master.
yeah no big deal
But why the hell… ….
“Why not….”
Tears flowed involuntarily at the heightened sense of helplessness.
In the meantime, the body recovers quickly.
Of course.
Because this is a ‘such’ space.
The body recovers in an instant.
“Of course not, kid.”
‘Rian’ said with a frown.
It’s as if I don’t like my past that I’m weaving for nothing.
“I am your future. did you fail? yes it failed But anyway, that’s the future. Either way, it’s only natural that I’m superior to you. What you need to do now is not to procrastinate.”
“Big oh… ….”
“stand up. Time here is ample, but not infinite.”
‘Lian’ spoke again.
“The power of the progenitor of Walpurgis is amazing. If you really had this kind of power and potential… …No, something has already happened.”
“city…foot….”
Ryan staggered to his feet.
His body, which was in a state of rags, recovered in an instant.
The only thing that hasn’t recovered is the spirit that suffered.
“Yes, you should stand up.”
‘Lian’ laughed in satisfaction.
“It is natural that you are lacking. But you can’t take that for granted.”
“Fuck…peel.”
“Don’t swear at me.”
With those words, ‘Lian’ swung his sword.
Lian hurriedly blocked the attack, but it was not enough.
A window flies right away.
How did you switch weapons like this in the intervening time?
Such questions are unnecessary.
Isn’t this guy the one who uses a sword like a spear and a spear like a bow in the first place?
As long as it’s a ‘weapon’, you can do anything.
The scary thing about that future wasn’t simply that he had a high level as a swordsman.
Versatile for all weapons.
That any weapon can be handled at a similar level.
I desperately turned my body and got out of the spear’s attack trajectory.
But I know from experience.
that this is not the end
Wedge!
The arrow created by the aura was shot towards the path Lian avoided.
Caang!
But he was also expected.
A blue film of aura wrapped around Rian.
The moment the arrow ricocheted, he bent down and rushed toward his future.
But at that moment.
Huung.
Ryan felt a strong wind ripple through his surroundings.
‘Swordsmanship!’
Before I knew it, my future was holding a huge sword with both hands and pulling my arms as far as I could.
and swung at the same time.
Without forgiveness, a greatsword the size of Lian’s own height strikes.
‘I can’t avoid this.’
That’s how you block that massive greatsword? no nonsense.
That is physically unstoppable.
That doesn’t mean there’s no way to escape.
How many times have you already been muddy in this situation?
‘Has it exceeded 30 times?’
What’s salty is what’s salty.
Also, I don’t want to experience the upper body flying away.
At this moment, the moment feels slow.
If this is the biggest income Lian has earned since he was trapped in this space following Solomon’s guidance, this is it.
It’s the same now.
The Greatsword approaches slowly.
‘As it is, come and intercept it with an arrow like my future did? No, that’s about it, the Auror Shield will protect it. Then aim for the empty bridge? No, I couldn’t have expected that either. no.’
He never overconfided himself about his future.
That’s stronger than that Duke of Lindell.
No, it will be stronger than any master in existence.
Of course, as of right now, it’s an opponent that I can’t reach at all.
But that ‘Rian’ is telling me to come this far.
how?
No matter how ridiculous this space is, how can I reach my future?
I think dozens of hundreds of times in the slowly flowing time.
and that moment.
“…ah.”
The body moved along with the elasticity.
Should I call it instinct?
The aura moved according to his will.
And the aura became a sharp addition for an instant and pressed both hands of ‘Lian’.
“…hmm?!”
A gap that inevitably arises.
Ryan had no intention of missing the chance.
The moment the greatsword went down and the strength in both hands was released… ….
Wedge!
The aura arrow aimed at ‘Rian”s head, but it was blocked by the shield he raised as a reflex and disappeared.
But that’s just a smoke screen.
window shot up
It aimed at Lian’s heart without any hesitation.
‘Is it really this time?!’
The realization just now was significant.
To typify the aura itself freely. At the same time, the power to control even that ‘weight’.
Definitely this time… …!
“It wasn’t enough.”
“uh…?”
pop.
But even that ambitious blow was blocked before it reached the heart.
Chang stopped at a distance that was really short.
Rian recognized that his future had tied his spears with the same number.
“But I grew up.”
‘Lian’ muttered contentedly and lightly pushed Lian away.
“Uh uh…?!”
Watching my past approaching him every moment, ‘Lian’ put the spear he was holding on the ground.
An expression that no longer intends to fight.
This is a reaction I have never seen before after being in this space.
Rian asked without letting go of her guard.
“…What are you thinking?”
“If you can do that much, it’s done for now. At least, it should be considered that the preparation phase has been completed.”
Saying that, he waved his hand at Ryan.
“Follow me.”
“What are you going to do….”
“It’s nothing. It’s not fair. I know you, but you don’t know me.”
Everything has to be fair.
He said that and shook his head.
“I’m talking about showing you my memories, Ryan Paslov.”
* * *
– With appearances!
Dirge roared loudly.
Dirge courageously chewed the seeds, then raised his arms high above my shoulders and shouted:
– I’m alive!
“Yes, yes. great.”
Yes, if it’s a fairy, it should be a bit active like this.
Until I persuaded him, I wonder if Dirge’s tears could fill a basin roughly up to my waist.
…Whatever.
[It’s been a while since I moved like this. Because there were always other people around you.]
“That’s right.”
As Sett said, it’s been a long time since I moved alone like this.
There were a lot of things going on, so I always moved with my colleagues.
‘I’ve heard that quite a few demon hunters have gathered.’
While I moved diligently, Chepesch also moved diligently.
report was being received.
Should I say it as expected?
There were about 30 to 40 people gathered.
Although there are not many of them, each of them can be said to be elite.
It was difficult to find talented people who were capable of dealing with simple demons, even if it was impossible for them to be great demons.
Considering the possibility of all kinds of demons infesting the continent in the future, the more experts to fight the demons, the better.
“Come to think of it, I mean Solomon.”
[hmm….]
At my words, the atmosphere on the set subsided in an instant.
At first glance, the apostles did not seem to have ended well with Solomon, so it was a natural reaction.
“He has lived for quite some time. So I have a question, but is it true that my ancestor is dead?”
[…] ….]
“Even if it is artificial, it is a demigod. Besides, there is no law that he will not live longer, given that he has lived for such a long time.”
Shijo didn’t say much to me.
Since it was just a thought in the first place, there should have been some things I couldn’t tell you in detail, but anyway.
Set shook his head.
[I don’t know. But if it still exists, there’s no reason not to help you, right?]
“That’s right.”
[It’s very likely that it doesn’t exist anymore. I heard that Solomon who appeared in front of you looked like an old man?]
“That’s right.”
[The fact that he was at the end of his life means there was a reason. normally…It’s a lifespan issue. That the end is near.]
“…hmm.”
It looked like all sorts of messes were standing.
Considering that the knowledge of Shinsal that he imparted to me was half-baked, he couldn’t complete his goal until the very end.
[…] …I wanted to apologize.]
“….”
[I know that my apology means nothing, and I know it’s not something I’ll come back to, but… ….]
Set muttered as he looked up at the sky with a bitter expression.
[…] …In the end, looking at the fact that we stayed until the end and created a family called ‘Walpurgis’ and gave birth to you, it was us who were wrong.]
I didn’t answer her words.
After all, it’s a thing of the past, and it’s not a matter that I, the other person, can judge.
“First of all, does that mean that my progenitor no longer exists? It was all about the thoughts he left behind for future generations.”
[Well, ‘Solomon’ seems like that.]
“Hmm?”
[You never know. As an apostle, I intuitively judged that “Solomon” no longer existed in this world… ….]
“…Could it still exist in some other form?”
At my words, Set nodded.
Of course, it doesn’t sound like he said it very seriously. A story about how it could be.
…but.
No matter what happens to my ancestors, what I will do in the end will not change.
Useless story ends here.
As for my ancestors, I should be satisfied with getting a clue to kill the Demon God.
when you think so
– I see my father’s destination.
I heard Wise speak.
When I raised my head at those words, I could clearly see the Draculion Dominion from afar.
“Long time no see.”
It’s the Draculion Dominion… ….
Let’s see how much has changed while I’ve been away.
* * *
With that in mind, the Draculion Dominion arrived and had changed a lot in that short period of time.
The biggest thing is that the size of the demon hunter’s residence has grown.
The buildings that had been under construction since I left had been completed and were showing their splendor.
Truly a fortress.
It is a sight that I could not have imagined at all when I first came to this land.
In addition, grass and trees were filling the land that had been filled only with death.
Chepesch should be doing various tasks in the citadel by now.
Then once… ….
“Mikhail!”
Then, at the sudden voice, I turned my head.
Then, what was there was a really unexpected face.
“Siegfried…?”
As a warrior before returning, my old colleague who sprayed poop in all directions coolly.
Siegfried was there.
no.
“…Why are you here?”
I peeked at the guy’s outfit.
It’s not a holy sword nor a knight’s sword. It’s just a common shovel.
Even what he is wearing is the simple attire of a farmer who can often be seen on the road.
“No, what else are you doing?”
“Oh that’s it.”
Why the hell is a guy here who should be faithful to his duties in the Holy Knights of the Holy Kingdom?
And even I couldn’t hide my embarrassment at the guy’s words that followed.
“I was kicked out of the Knights.”
“…what?”
At my words, Siegfried continued with a liberated expression.
“I am now unemployed.”
“….”
I quietly pressed my forehead as I watched the guy say the word ‘unemployed’ with a bright expression.
