The Grand Mage who transcends by regression Episode 300
– What kind of challenger is threatening the apostle?
Ptah grumbled with an expression of absurdity.
Speaking of the result, my threat using the Authority was effective.
Just because of that alone, A and E were completely reversed.
As I had planned, Ptah was well ground.
“Why do I have to grind too!”
…Get along well with the top lord.
I smiled heartily as I watched the two work hard to create a new theory.
“Well, the ordeal is not over yet. Tower Lord is still one of the challengers.”
“Ooh, weren’t we colleagues! Challenge the ordeal together and stand up against the unreasonable… ….”
“Ah, that’s bound to change when the place where people stand changes. Just accept that the world is like that.”
“Hey you bastard!”
oh what a curse
Why would someone who knows everything about this do this?
I felt a little sad about that fact and continued.
“Ever since then, I have given you clear guidelines. How to do it and what to study… …Aren’t you sure!”
[No, that would be vicious….]
Set sneered at me from the side, but pretended not to hear.
Can I use it because I don’t have enough credit?
“It is a meeting between the strongest theorists of the old era and the strongest theorists of the present era. It’s not that easy to grind together like this!”
– God the bastard… ….
Ptah sighed and touched his forehead.
…Whatever.
After a little time passed and the two seemed to be genuine to some extent, I decided to get straight to the point.
“Anyway, here are my rough guidelines. Existing circles use mana to create ‘passages’ in the body.”
“…yes.”
“But at this rate, the Circle can only accept mana. Mana itself has the property of not being mixed, but I made a passage using that mana… …No wonder.”
“You didn’t know that, so the circle style wasn’t maintained until now. There is nothing other than mana that can unite in such a distinct form in the first place.”
“You are right.”
Topju’s words are right.
In fact, the wizards up until now were fools, so this circle style was not maintained.
It is inevitable to form a circle with mana as ‘common sense’, and it is something that should be accompanied by magic.
However, there is one fact that the top owner overlooked.
“By the way, where is the normal situation right now?”
“…hmm?”
“The circle ceremony you just mentioned is, to the last, a matter of course based on the standards of the world up to now.”
Yes, the world will change in the future.
The world’s mana began to degenerate at the point when demons had already penetrated the walls of the world.
Of course, it’s not much different.
You will still be able to use magic and there will be no discomfort.
It’s just a ‘possibility’.
“Please don’t… ….”
Topju’s eyes trembled as if she realized something from my words.
The environment, which had been consistent until now, has changed.
It may look worse, but wizards are originally beings who find answers even in such a discordant environment.
“Are you saying that the world has changed to the extent that the new circle formula is accepted?”
“That’s right.”
I smiled in response.
Are you hiring talent?
That’s what I think is good too.
However, in the end, this is the law that efficiency goes up when ‘clear direction’ is presented.
as soon as.
“Tell me in detail!”
just like now
* * *
The sorcerer’s seed is, after all, a being who lives by curiosity and dies by curiosity.
Coercive research without direction or purpose leads to loss of motivation and dissatisfaction, but in the opposite case, it shows surprising action.
And the result.
“Oh, I saw it!”
…It turned out like this.
Top owner was frantically gathering all kinds of data and was engrossed in research.
And Ptah was looking at it with a strange expression.
– Huh, he didn’t even move properly when I ordered him to… …
“It’s a difference in method.”
I said that and looked at Ptah quietly.
“By the way, aren’t your arms resting? Why do you act like it’s someone else’s business… ….”
– ….
Ptah did not respond to my words and quietly moved her hand.
A lot of melancholy flowed from his eyes.
– Ha, why am I doing this… …
“This is all karma.”
– …So are you going to change me?
You know.
Looking at it roughly like that, Ptah let out a small sigh.
Then, after staring at the empty space for a while with a blank expression, he hesitated… ….
– by the way.
spoke slowly.
– The authority you used on me earlier.
“Oh, if that’s the case.”
– Mana was not used at all. you are not god Of course, in order to use the authority… …
“Yes, I need mana.”
Yes, it wouldn’t make sense for an ordinary human to reproduce the Authority, but even if it were possible, it would require mana.
To be precise… …
“Of course, that’s the story that has always been like that.”
– …hmm?
It’s a simple story.
Until I became aware of my own status, I had to use mana as a medium to use authority.
But now it’s different.
This is because after realizing that he was a demigod, his authority ceased to be merely ‘representation’.
Now, authority has become my godhead itself.
In other words, it does not depend on mana.
“It’s not something that can be abused, but for now, it means that you can exercise your authority with your own divinity.”
– …her.
Shaking his head, Ptah laughed.
– Wait, if that’s the case, even the results that that young thing is researching should already be in your head, so why bother with this… …
“Oh, and that’s not it.”
As Ptah said, I already know the improved circle formula.
I’m here to actually make it happen.
but.
“Because this has a different direction.”
– …hmm?
“What I have in my head is my exclusive circle formula that only I can use.”
On the other hand, the circle ceremony studied by the tower owner is of a more general nature.
I don’t overconfident myself.
At least for that, Topju is more efficient than me and makes a great circle ceremony.
“Everyone has clothes that fit. I knew there were clothes that fit the pagoda owner, so I just pushed my back for it.”
– joy.
Ptah snorted and turned her gaze from the pagoda to me.
– Yes, is this the chosen one?
“What are you up to? In the first place, you must also be a pioneer who pioneered magic in the Age of Mythology.”
– ….
At my words, Ptah frowned.
He looked a little uncomfortable, probably offended by me talking about him.
– Pioneer… …Hamado! What did you do! Certainly, I was a being called your pioneer.
He continued, however.
– But I wasn’t ‘only’. You would have known, but you are a human who inherited his blood.
“You mean Solomon?”
– Yes Solomon! Wasn’t he also the starting point of magic? The direction is a bit different, but that’s it.
“…Hmm.”
If you look at the entire history of the family I peeped at, surprisingly, ‘magic’ had no absolute weight.
Our family’s identity as a Mado family was firmly established after the time when our ethics were once shattered due to vigilance against demons.
It was just from then.
But apart from that, it is true that Walpurgis blood has innate qualities in magic.
Diluted and diluted blood is like that.
Then, what would Solomon’s talent be like when he was in his prime?
It wouldn’t be strange even if it was a miracle.
“Have you ever felt inferior?”
– Ha, it can’t be.
he snorted.
– I wouldn’t be like this if it was because there was a ‘possibility’ like inferiority.
“Then what is it?”
– That’s it. My mission as an apostle was the study of ‘magic’. A new direction for humans. It was enough to just focus on that. In the first place, Solomon and I had different research directions, so there was no reason to feel inferior.
“But you’re regretting it, aren’t you?”
– Those regrets… …Whoa.
Ptah let out a small sigh.
– That insignificant feeling that day… …It’s a regret for being swept away and blowing away the possibility of being ‘Solomon’.
“….”
– Blind hatred for the person you call ‘Demon God’. don’t you know now How irrationally we rejected Solomon.
“….”
Set also showed signs of regretting the decision of the day.
It’s just that they couldn’t fully accept it… …. I should have accepted it, but I didn’t.
– At least I didn’t. Even if the direction is different, wasn’t I also the one who pursues the same magic?
As if recalling that time, Ptah’s eyes became hazy.
‘Are you saying you’re regretting it?’
It’s not that I don’t understand the actions of the apostles in my position.
At that time, the enmity towards the Demon God was piercing the sky.
The hostility must have been so severe that even normal judgment was hindered.
So contrary to Asar’s will, the apostles were swept away by ’emotion’ and rejected Solomon.
– What more can I say? I know even though I say this. Telling us no, I don’t have the qualifications to shout so loudly… ….
“….”
– In the end, considering that the one who was chosen from Solomon’s lineage came out, Solomon was right.
There was a deep skepticism in his voice as he said that.
mistakes you made in the past.
The mistake came back to him in the form of self-blame over time.
It may have been a struggle to get away from the guilt that I tried to achieve results somehow by replacing talented people.
I quietly closed my eyes.
“great.”
I barely heard his thoughts.
What happened in the past and what he thinks about it.
I turned my gaze to Weiss for a moment.
The guy with a similar appearance to me hadn’t said anything since before.
– ….
I just listen with my eyes closed.
Then, what should I do in front of this apostle who confesses his past sins?
…You don’t have to think deeply.
because you already know
“let’s go.”
Saying that, I grabbed Ptah by the back and dragged him along.
– What are you going to do?
“I will implement the circle ceremony.”
– …!
At my words, Ptah widened her eyes.
It’s something you have to do to pass the ordeal anyway.
There might be a way to go up to the 9th circle by simply watching the progress, but… ….
“Please watch.”
In this case, it would be easier to understand if you see ‘directly’.
A possibility he missed.
Also, a possibility he had struggled to deny.
In the end, this was the finish I intended for this ordeal.
He is regretting the past of rejecting Solomon in the past.
The ‘possibility’ he wanted so much was buried in a fleeting emotion… ….
Clearly he did something wrong.
But if you endlessly blame yourself for it and get stuck in the past, that’s definitely not good for the future.
Then how should I lift him up from this past?
He has been suffering from ‘unconfirmed possibilities’ through Solomon.
…Then sometimes.
Rather, wouldn’t it be possible to directly show the ‘possibility’ he denied?
yes, even for that.
“A possibility that you said you missed in the past.”
Today I will be climbing the 9th circle.
The 9th circle of a new ‘direction’ that is more advanced than before the return.
* * *
The reason I took this ordeal as a means to reach the 9th circle.
The reason is simple.
This is because this ordeal is related to the ‘creation of a new circle style’ and it was Asar who created the purpose of the ordeal.
Asar did not create trials for no reason.
to stop drinking.
For that purpose alone, the best apostles were arranged for each ordeal.
That guess was a reappearance, but after meeting Asar, it turned into a certainty.
Then, how about this Ptah?
What is the mission related to Ptah?
If Asar already knows something about me and has made arrangements for it… ….
– …What are you going to do?
The place I brought him to was a solitary cell completely isolated from the outside world.
It’s not just solitary confinement.
It is made so that no mana leaks out.
And that’s not all.
As befits the space in the pagoda’s room, a barrier is also installed to ‘recover’ the problem on the spot if there is any problem.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that there is no space on the continent that has been made this thoroughly for wizards.
“I will assemble a new circle.”
– No, that’s right. However, unless you have the intention of breaking the circle at all, you can improvise like this… …
“Are you going to break it?”
– …what?
As if saying something crazy, Ptah looked at me with a ridiculous expression.
[What what?!]
That wasn’t all.
Seth was also staring at me with his eyes wide open. Wise had a calm expression as if he had expected it.
“I will break the circle.”
Sometimes there is destruction for the sake of creation.
