The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 299
Ptah was once a human who walked the path of magic.
An apostle, but a human.
If there is something a little different, he was a human being who was close to the ‘direction’ that Asar wanted.
He respected God, but questioned the world in which God’s grace and glory were ‘taken for granted’.
God was willing.
So, without a word, he called him and gave him his own blood. Thus, the human who became an apostle was born.
he was worried
He had no doubt that his ‘troubles’ were the reason he was chosen as an apostle.
Worrying about the existence of God, thinking about the ‘overly’ well-organized world… ….
It was good until there.
The problem is that he walked the path of magic and was well versed in teaching.
And I did a good job pulling it out.
In his eyes, everything in this world was a gemstone with enormous potential.
If so, shouldn’t it be processed?
To bring out the right light!
Now that I’ve become an apostle, I should do that for the sake of the world!
He gave such ‘ordeals’ to the countless humans who picked him up.
So that you can overcome your own limitations and see ‘above’ even if you are forced to.
yes i did… ….
‘I didn’t know that even one person could survive.’
all dead
No, it’s not that Ptah killed him… …I didn’t really commit suicide or anything.
all overwork.
And after going through such situations, he finally met Aleista, the owner of a group called the Mage Tower.
He was quite a talented guy.
Having a desire for knowledge in a topic that has reached its twilight stage is also a passing factor.
The 8th circle is also good.
If you teach properly, you will be able to glimpse the 9th circle.
Moreover, with one’s own power, it is possible to greatly extend one’s lifespan as a reward for passing the ordeal.
so he taught
There was some ‘minor’ rebellion, but that was the reaction of the challengers who had gone through him so far.
I can’t care too much about it.
Anyway, I went through the trials as I usually do, and this time I thought I might have won… ….
‘That guy.’
Suddenly another guy came.
Hero Mikhail Walpurgis.
don’t know
Because there is information of the current era that I heard in the process of teaching this Aleista.
It was also possible to infer that it was an existence that possessed various ‘sacred objects’. So, it is not strange that he voluntarily asked for trials.
If his goal was to complete the Round Table, he must have looked for information about himself.
The problem is that atmosphere… ….
‘…Am I nervous?’
no it can’t be
In this ordeal, he is definitely in the position of ‘above’.
He is the designer of the ordeal, but what can he do?
– I don’t pass trials easily. No one has ever passed my ordeal. The weight is never light.
“Yes yes it is. however….”
Nodding lightly, Mikhail smiled as if it didn’t matter.
“Can I ask just one question?”
– what?
Mikhail’s smile deepened.
“What if the challenger doesn’t want to finish the ordeal?”
At that, Ptah snorted.
Challenger doesn’t want to finish the ordeal?
Until now, all the challengers shed bloody tears saying they wanted to end the ordeal like that.
That guy won’t be any different.
But if the challenger doesn’t want to end the ordeal… ….
‘It’s not normally possible, but in my case… …Maybe it’s possible.’
The ordeal he gave was simple.
To create a ‘circle’ in an innovative way that has never existed before.
Of course, that is no different from confronting the history itself that mankind’s magic has built up until now.
don’t know how long it will take
In addition, the term ‘best circle’ is ambiguous.
Even if you are satisfied, if it is not the best for the challenger, it will not be the best.
Of course, that’s a story that can only be explained in theory… ….
‘It’s not that comfortable.’
His thoughts were to some extent expected.
It must have put a lot of strength on his shoulders as he had obtained a series of sacred objects.
There will definitely be abilities.
However, apart from that, his ordeal is not something that can be done with just such ‘ability’.
so that.
– The ordeal will never end.
It wouldn’t make any sense, though.
He smiled and answered Mikhail’s childish question.
As if he liked the answer, Mikhail smiled comfortably….
with those words.
‘Giggle.’
Something that shouldn’t have opened her eyes.
* * *
As a warrior, I always try to live without a single point of shame in my heart. It’s never easy to play a madman.
Having to play someone who is the opposite of you… …Yeah it’s definitely not easy.
But I can’t help it.
Being a hero is a law that sometimes has to be done for a cause, even if it’s something you don’t want to do.
“…Is there any way?”
The tower owner, who had completely turned into a corpse, asked with a gloomy expression.
“Wow full circle…Ha ha ha A more efficient and perfect circle than the existing circle… …Even the ninth ring?! Isn’t it a state that no one has reached in this era!”
“Well, that’s right.”
Of course I got there. I don’t really need to say that right now.
whatever… ….
“Certainly, the 9th circle is a prerequisite, and it is next to impossible to create a ‘theory’ on the fly that completely changes the existing circle formula.”
“…yes. If I could borrow the power of the talented people in the tower, nothing would be as good as that, but that evil spirit won’t allow even that.”
“In other words, only the challengers of the ordeal are allowed to study the theory. understand.”
Topju sighed and said with an expression that evaporated without leaving a trace of confidence.
“…I don’t know what the reason was for responding to the demon’s ordeal, but it was a mistake. He… …I have no intention of letting you pass the ordeal.”
“Well, that wouldn’t be it.”
“…hmm?”
Top lord looked at me with an expression asking what he was saying.
“The author is a being whose mission is to pass the ‘trial’. Perhaps the other side also wants to pass the ordeal. That’s why you act so desperately.”
“…But what about that?”
“The average is just too high. When you think of beings similar to yourself as a standard, naturally, your desires will inevitably rise.”
It’s not another existence, it’s an apostle.
Of course, the standard must be different from that of humans, and even the tomb is an arrangement made to select the chosen ones among those humans.
It’s not at all strange to be so thorough.
Of course, that is the circumstances of Ptah, the apostle… ….
‘It’s not my case.’
Then you can be infinitely shameless.
This side also has a cause to deal with demons.
“Aleista-sama, in the original world, you can’t live honestly.”
“…Uhm, right?”
“So you have to be crazy. A madman that even the author would not dare to touch.”
“Isn’t the conclusion strange?”
The top owner broke into a cold sweat and said.
But whatever his reaction, the facts are the facts.
Right now, it didn’t seem like Ptah was watching over the tower owner. Then the story is fast.
“Tower lord, I can pass this ordeal. It can certainly be ‘swear’ to God.”
“Even swearing to God?”
The tower owner’s eyes changed as he knew what it meant for a warrior to swear by the name of God.
“…What is the basis?”
“Rather than grounds, I already know how to get to the ‘9th circle’. As a bonus, I also know how to renew the circle so far.”
“…!”
Top lord’s eyes widened at my words.
what would it be
Because I already know the ‘answer’ to the problem that I was clinging to until I suffered that pain.
“In that case, right now…!”
“But I have no intention of passing the ordeal right away.”
“…What why?”
“Top Lord, think carefully.”
I put my hand on his shoulder and said with a benevolent smile.
“Don’t you want to fuck me?”
“…!”
“Even if you don’t pass the ordeal, don’t you want to feed me candy as much as I made you go through this hard time?”
At my words, the top lord’s mouth hung open.
I spoke again.
“As I said, I swear to God that I am confident I will pass this ordeal. That’s why I came here in the first place.”
“her….”
“In other words, this is it.”
I raised my index finger.
“It will end anyway, so the tower lord just needs to focus on ‘feeding’ that apostle.”
“In other words, mobilize all my brains and run amok at will?”
“Even if you can’t use mana, the tower lord’s clever brain doesn’t go anywhere.”
“That’s right.”
There is nothing more terrifying than the outbursts of those who gave up everything.
Besides, Ptah right now believes that the tower lord will not be able to fight against him.
If you simply look at strength versus strength, you can’t beat Ptah.
But what if the ordeal itself meticulously fucks Ptah?
“ha ha ha…!”
At that moment, Topju started laughing as if he realized it. There was even madness in that laugh.
“Then there is a lot to do! Even if you look at it like this, I am the one who stands at the top of all the wizards in the tower!”
“great.”
It would have been fine if the top owner had found confidence. If this happens, the tower owner will take care of himself and bother Ptah.
‘It looks like he used the pagoda owner as bait to distract attention.’
Okay.
This too is for a cause.
– Isn’t that just crap?
oh no that’s not what i’m saying
* * *
– …no!
As usual, Ptah got angry and tried to hit the head of the tower owner who made the ‘garbage’.
But at that time, the top lord lightly hit Ptah’s hand.
“Stop it. It makes your head worse.”
– what…?
what. What else did he eat wrong?
I just looked at it with those eyes.
But as if he didn’t care about Ptah’s health, he turned his attention to my research materials that were filling up around him… ….
“Hoy.”
I casually set fire to the materials I had been researching so far.
Roaring!
Papers burned in the room.
The papers that have been piled up until now, little by little, toward the ‘correct answer’… ….
– What are you doing, you madman!
Even Ptah couldn’t help but be embarrassed by this.
No, burning a bloody paper?
Has this guy lost his mind!
Ptah looked at the scene for a while, feeling foolish, then hurriedly put out the light.
In addition, the room was filled with smoke, so I had to take the trouble to get rid of them.
– Are you out of your mind! The probability of you passing the ordeal by burning those materials now… …!
“I realized.”
At that time, the top lord looked at Ptah with a liberated expression and said,
“There are limits to pure magic. Then we have to approach it from a different direction.”
– No, what bullshit… ….
“That’s why I decided to look for the answer in psychic powers.”
– …what?
Top lord spread his arms wide and said it again as if to emphasize it.
“A power that is neither mana nor holy power…That’s right. You just need to unleash your psychic powers. So, where does the superpower come from? that’s right… ….”
Topju opened her eyes.
“dinosaur!”
– no.
“That’s a baby dinosaur too!”
Watching the pagoda lord talking bullshit from earlier, Ptah touched his forehead.
Did his mind eventually collapse after excessive research?
It’s cute when a young guy does that. Think of an old man in his 80s doing that.
But it changed so suddenly.
There must have been something that made him feel that way.
yes, definitely something… ….
“Chiggle.”
Then there was an indescribably mean, dark laugh.
The shadow of darkness buried between the study… ….
In the meantime, there is one dog bastard who is smiling wide with red eyes.
– …is it you
“Ptah-nim, there is no such thing as ‘must have’ in this world.”
The bastard brushed his teeth.
“There are many theories in the world. Being a dinosaur and reaching the 9th circle isn’t one of the many truths of the world in a way? Think about it. The moment you become a dinosaur, all structures of your body are twisted. Especially black… …For me, this black finger is the truth itself that contains everything in nature… ….”
– Yours.
This baby is ruined.
Ptah glared at Mikhail with those kind of eyes, then sighed.
– I don’t intend to pass the ordeal by fooling around like this.
“Oh, it will pass. But….”
Mikhail laughed.
“Are you going to have to think about that seriously from now on?”
– …what?
Mikhail looked at him like that and reached out his hand casually.
“Hoy.”
That moment.
Kwajik.
A small ‘part’ of the magic tools that make up Ptah evaporated.
– …?!
At that moment, Ptah had a hunch.
His mana was sealed.
But to ‘evaporate’ a part of me like this… ….
– Guo Power!?
Realizing this fact, Ptah had no choice but to open her mouth blankly.
But no matter how he reacts, Mikhail just laughs and says.
“If you don’t want to fall behind.”
It was the beginning of a hellish dissertation relay that lasted for a week.
