The great mage who transcends by regression Chapter 282
The girl did not want to lose her ‘father’.
It was natural. The girl always wanted him to be great and immortal.
No wonder.
What child would wish for the death of their parents? but.
– You have to, my daughter.
The father’s will was clear.
Despite the opposition of the siblings, the father never gave up.
….
The girl didn’t want to.
really.
I didn’t want to lose my ‘father’ no matter what the cost.
Because… ….
– Cooperate with me Set.
He accepted that offer.
* * *
The twin apostles Lesset and Mecht.
It is good to quickly attack as many places as possible in the tomb.
If you can get ‘two gods’ at once… …It’s probably best to get it in your hands first.
But I didn’t.
Then, why did he go to the twins’ tomb only after clearing six tombs?
The reason is simple.
‘What is it? It’s because I can’t go unless I revive the Round Table.’
yeah no big deal
The level of difficulty is not low enough to challenge without anything, and a ’round table’ is needed to challenge the ordeal.
Conversely, it also means a tomb where there is no reason to delay when the conditions are met.
go to that
Of course, I can’t say that this ordeal is easy with only ‘two’ people, but… ….
what’s the difference
gotta try something
[…] ….]
In the meantime, Set didn’t say much.
She just blankly sits on my shoulder and stares into space.
‘Still, I wondered if I would have shaken off everything about the past.’
It couldn’t be easier.
In the first place, from Set’s point of view, it is the past that betrayed my creator.
I can’t get used to it anyway.
– Hmmm Dad.
As I was thinking about it, Wise called me.
Why do I get goosebumps whenever I hear the word father?
“Wait a minute, let’s decide on a proper name. Every time I hear the word “father,” I get goosebumps, so I can’t do it.”
– …suddenly? what i don’t care If you don’t like the title of father, what about ‘master’?
“No, not even that.”
The owner is okay too.
I am vehemently against slavery.
I thought for a while and then said.
“Let’s just be the contractors.”
– It’s not like my father and I have a contractual relationship. I am a being born from my father’s trajectory and blood, rather the other side… ….
“contractor.”
yes, whatever it is, it’s fine
Father or owner… …It’s kind of weird to him.
– …hmm i know what then let’s call it that contractor.
Without any particular objection, Weiss accepted my words.
-Anyway, the knowledge I gained when I absorbed < Longinus > was not small. Among them, there was something about the ‘twins’.
“…what?”
why are you saying that now
If I had told you in advance, I would have prepared something right away.
– I wasn’t sure either. didn’t you say I am like a filter. I didn’t know if it would be good information to ‘filter’ or not.
“So what is the conclusion?”
– There were things that worked, and there were things that didn’t have to be.
Weiss spoke again.
– Of course, the information was fragmentary.
“So you’re saying there was useful information among them?”
– Hmm First of all… ….
The boy tilted his head and then spoke to me.
– The twins were quite blind to ‘Asar the Great’.
“Blind?”
– Yes, and innocent at the same time. But innocence has two sides. You can be better than anyone else, and you can be bad at the same time.
“…yes.”
At that, I frowned.
‘It’s double-sided… ….’
There’s no other trait that’s as demanding as that.
In particular, when we hear what Wise is saying, the first thing that comes to mind is fanaticism.
Rather than choosing something on their own, they are being dragged along.
Not desirable as an ‘apostle’.
Moreover, this kind of people would usually express their ‘faith’ in a twisted way if they had no object to blindly believe in.
‘…Of course I can’t be sure.’
I haven’t seen it myself yet, so I can’t be sure.
Let’s just think that there is such a possibility.
But then.
[I might get in the way,]
Set said.
Her expression was still gloomy, but she thought she couldn’t stay silent anyway.
[Maybe without me… …Those two won’t put emotion into the ordeal. They will try to judge it calmly, as they have done so far.]
“….”
[But it’s different if I’m here. I’m sure those two will contain their feelings. In the first place, the relationship between the two is not so clear.]
This time, her existence itself could be a hindrance.
“It doesn’t matter.”
[But…]
“In the first place, unlike the other apostles, you are subordinate to me. You can’t fall anyway.”
At my words, Set drooped his shoulders with a sullen expression.
[…] …That means I have no choice but to get in the way.]
“Stop talking bullshit.”
I don’t know if it’s a hindrance or what.
“I would have said that in the first place. Now that this has happened, I will be able to handle your past as well.”
[…] ….]
Set is my ‘fellow’ after all.
No matter how it was before the regression or how the first meeting was, that’s how it turned out.
If so, take responsibility.
There are certainly quite a few crises that have been avoided thanks to Set.
[…] …Yes.]
At my words, Set lowered his head and nodded slightly.
“Besides, the twins are quite emotional, so it reminded me of something else.”
[…] …Good idea?]
Set tilted his head.
I said with a warm smile.
“Emotional dominance.”
I made the apostle angry!
I can control my emotions!
“This is so…Whoops.”
Will the apostles’ emotions be dominated by me?
And if dominated, how will they react… ….
“I look forward to it.”
I grinned.
[…] …Wow.]
Seth’s expression cooled.
* * *
The land where this tomb is located is quite unusual.
The ruined city of Silin.
As the word implies, no one lives. After a long period of neglect, only ruins remained.
Of course, Count Draculion was also an almost neglected land, but Silin this time is a bit different.
What’s the difference?
That’s it.
“I was killed because of greed.”
[…] …Greed?]
Set tilted his head.
“Yes greed.”
The Empire is really good, so it doesn’t simply leave its territory unattended.
If the Empire left it unattended, it would be as dangerous as Count Draculion’s territory.
Then what about the ruined city?
“Well, until that happened, it was a city called ‘Silin’? I mean, it was a fine city.”
[…] …By the way?]
“A long time ago, the lord of Shilin…no no no The entire territory is obsessed with greed.”
I said that and threw my body into the air.
The ruined city of Silin is surrounded by mountains on all sides.
If Silin had been intact until now, it would have been known as a fortress blessed by nature.
I floated up in the air and looked down and saw an oval of land surrounded by mountains. Rather than land… ….
[Fog…?]
“Yes. Fog. At first glance, it doesn’t look like an ordinary fog, does it?”
The fog below was truly pitch black.
Silin’s face is nowhere to be seen.
– Well, it seems that the ‘Lord’ that the contractor talked about touched quite a few ominous things.
“What is it?”
It’s a story from hundreds of years ago.
There was a bustling city.
Numerous mana stones and gold came out of the mine, and the land was fertile enough to grow any crops without difficulty.
Besides, the location was good.
It was a terrain that could effectively defend against outside invasion even in the midst of chaos in the world.
Truly a chosen land.
In the history book of the empire, it is written that ‘Shillin’ was indeed a land blessed by the empire, so it seems that the words have been exhausted.
But such a land.
What on earth was it that he lacked so much that he fell to ‘greed’?
Because that’s greed
What about greed, feeling an endless thirst and somehow craving more?
Whatever.
“Nobody knew it at the time, but there was a reason this land was so ‘blessed’.”
[For the reason….]
“Ancient Curse. there is such a thing A great war that took place in the distant past. A curse buried during that war.”
[…] …Ummm.]
The reason why the location of the tomb before returning was not specified is simple.
Who would have thought that there would be a grave in that fog created by a curse?
No, even if you thought about it, ‘sacrifice’ is inevitable in the first place.
It was crazy to voluntarily take such a risk in that hell.
[It’s definitely not an ordinary curse. The reason this hasn’t leaked out is probably… ….]
“This land ‘itself’ is a curse.”
not contagious
If it was a curse like that in the first place, whether it was a religious state or an empire, they would have taken action with great energy.
Anyway, so many years have passed.
At first, the land was a waste, so the empire tried to solve the curse, but it didn’t last long.
A resource that occupies an overwhelming proportion of Silin’s value.
This is because even that resource has been found to be contaminated and will not be used properly.
Silin was so neglected.
In the first place, there would be no problem if left as it was, so the emperor at the time decided to leave Silin untouched.
It was worth it.
That cursed mist melts the skin.
Even if you somehow block it with all sorts of protection magic, you will become addicted to the curse.
It is almost impossible to breathe inside, and in order to breathe properly, you have to procure oxygen from the outside.
“It is a land that has not been conquered for a long time. You would be right in saying that you didn’t feel the need to attack anything.”
[…] …It won’t be easy,]
Set continued.
[If it’s that terrible of a curse, it’s better to come back with a little more planning first… ….]
“Is it necessary?”
[…] …Um?]
I looked at the ruined city at the bottom of the cliff with a nonchalant expression.
It sure looks ominous.
But now I’m thinking of one possibility.
‘That could also be part of the ordeal.’
Well, emotion dominates.
If that curse itself is part of the ordeal, what I must do from now on is very clear.
The curse must be resolved.
in what way?
“Provocation.”
Aggro in vulgar terms.
okay.
You don’t have to be obsessed with winning.
Originally, in this situation, the difference between victory and defeat is a piece of paper… ….
I once again repeated to myself the ‘core’ of this plan.
“I am…the other side… …You can control your emotions… ….”
good.
Mind control starts now.

“Mecht Mecht!”
“Yes, Lesset, Lesset!”
The twins laughed.
The reason they laughed is simple. He felt that the ‘challenger’ he had been waiting for so long had come here.
An aura that is so clean that it is clear.
It is truly the power of a warrior.
“Are you aware? yes?”
“huh! huh! That’s what being a warrior is all about! Squids with stiff heads and a needlessly strong sense of justice!”
The warrior they thought of was like that.
And this challenger won’t be any different. Wasn’t that the one chosen by the Hekau in the first place?
The warrior she chose was always like that.
knowledgeable and correct
That said, he wasn’t hard-headed at all, but he was stubborn enough that the two of them could play around in moderation.
“Let us educate the warriors!”
“Yeah! Loosen up your stiff hair!”
Phew.
The twins laughed for a long time, thinking of the hero who was suffering from their trap.
The two had no doubts.
savvy warrior.
A noble human being who is too righteous and does not know how to properly sacrifice himself.
Yes, that such noble human beings will succumb to their ‘pranks’ and become more realistic… ….
ah yes
Everyone has a plausible plan at first.
