The Grand Mage who transcends by regression Episode 337
“Did you call, Michael-sama….”
Siegfried, who met again, had an expression as if the world was collapsing.
“Why are you so dead again?”
“Yeah…Is the situation a situation? Faith itself is on the verge of collapsing, but it is strange that it remains intact.”
“Huh, did you just notice that?”
As much as he was selected as a warrior before returning, his talent and potential could be said to be real… ….
“But even if you noticed that, is that a reason to die? I thought I had grown a bit lately.”
Does this guy alternate between degeneration and growth?
What the hell is so dead… ….
“Isn’t it because God has a problem? In the first place, I was a paladin… ….”
“So are you going to give up?”
“Not that sound….”
Siegfried sighed and covered his face.
“It was just that I suddenly felt a little helpless. Why, every time I try to do something, it feels like something I can’t handle bursts out.”
“…hmm.”
He seemed quite mentally shaken. Of course, that’s not unusual.
There is a problem with Hekau, the source of faith, but it must be rather strange to maintain composure from the standpoint of a believer.
I understand.
In particular, Siegfried had many hardships through various incidents.
If it was a normal situation, I would have given him enough time to recover his mentality.
But unfortunately, that is not the case now. The situation is so urgent that you have to use at least one more useful guy.
“So you’re going to be whimpering like that?”
“It is not. It’s not….”
Still, Siegfried said with a sigh that his worries could not be sorted out.
“It can’t be helped that it’s a bit complicated.”
do you mean it’s complicated?
Then I can’t stay still here again.
“There is a way.”
“uh…Are you there?”
I quietly pushed my staff right in front of Siegfried’s eyes.
“Historically, this was medicine.”
The guy’s gaze turned to the bright red glowing staff.
Then, his eyes wandered around anxiously.
“hmm.”
He quickly changed his expression.
“Coming to think of it, I don’t think it’s anything to be so discouraged about.”
“yes?”
After all, the reincarnated Siegfried was different. I don’t understand the words carelessly.
“Humanity is not weak. Isn’t there a law that can’t be shrunk with something like this? Human best.”
“Yeah, I knew you would say that. After all, is it Siegfried?”
A human being is a creature that needs to move forward. It is not okay to just stand still.
I desperately patted Siegfried on the shoulder, who was laughing hysterically, and continued.
“Behave well in the future.”
“yep.”
Siegfried answered quickly.
A lot has changed since then.
If it had been the guy before the regression, wouldn’t he have been beaten to the brink of death by me for talking nonsense?
“Anyway, I have something for you.”
“I mean?”
“okay.”
At my words, Siegfried looked at me with an expression of incomprehension.
It’s like he’s wondering what he can do. A battle between two gods, or a situation where all sorts of monsters and great demons cross over.
He might be feeling his own limits.
“Okay. It’s not difficult.”
“Oh, then….”
Siegfried’s expression brightened slightly.
“So what?”
“You may have felt it roughly, but something went wrong with Hekau-nim. It probably has something to do with the demon.”
“Drank….”
His voice quickly shrunk as if he felt a hopeless situation again.
I spoke again.
“But there is hope.”
“If you say hope….”
“The presence of Hekau hasn’t completely disappeared yet.”
“…!”
At my words, Siegfried’s eyes widened.
As a paladin, he came to know that there is still ‘hope’ in the god he believes in.
Of course, they will react violently.
“At this point, you know what I’m talking about, right?”
“…You are asking me to find his traces.”
“If I had free time, I would have moved myself, but unfortunately I don’t have much time.”
yeah goddamn not many
Instinctively, he realized that Hekau’s existence had not completely disappeared.
It seems to have escaped somehow.
He had to sacrifice a lot for him, but in the end, Hekau succeeded in avoiding the body.
At that time, Siegfried, who had been quietly listening to my words, suddenly tilted his head and said,
“for a moment.”
“What why?”
“You said it wasn’t difficult.”
“….”
Siegfried was quietly looking at me.
this guy has grown up I was thinking of skipping it.
“That’s right, it’s not difficult. just…All you have to do is search.”
“No, if the demon and him are entangled, this is a serious matter…”
“Ai sitpal.”
I pushed the staff.
“Would you like to taste the staff?”
“no….”
Siegfried said, trying to avoid looking at my staff.
“I will….”
“Good idea.”
How come the conversation flow is that I’m going like a bad guy… …. are you okay. It’s not really an unfavorable offer for him.
Unfortunately, right now is not the time to relax while taking care of your circumstances.
“Suffering is…Isn’t it true that Michael is doing the most? But it’s a little too much for me to say I’m sick.”
“What’s new?”
He was a demigod or something, but if it weren’t for this situation, he wouldn’t have tried to acquire such excessive power.
I’m sick of it, I’m sure I just told others to find it and went out to play.
But what can I do?
If I stay still, the world will be ruined. If it’s a demigod and you can use it, you have no choice but to use it at random.
There is so much to do.
You must head to Pandemonium to join your friends and at the same time obtain the one remaining tomb.
Of course, checking the whereabouts of Hekau should be a priority, but there are too many other things.
In the first place, the grave is something I have no choice but to go out on my own.
“If you head to the place I mentioned, you should be able to contact him somehow. If we meet like that, let’s return to the church together right away.”
“that is…Will it be easy?”
“If the timing is right.”
The reason for entrusting Siegfried with this task was simple.
Whatever the case may be, this guy has some decent talent.
I couldn’t say that this guy became a ‘hero’ before returning was positive, but should I say there was a reason.
“Of course, I am not sending you alone. A guide will accompany you, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
“If you are a guide….”
Except for me, beings who are familiar with the existence of gods, and who can now move independently.
its name… ….
– It’s ‘Wise’.
He said in a gruff voice with his arms crossed. Siegfried stared blankly at Wise.
“…Do you have any siblings?”
– To put it bluntly, my side is the source, but well, putting that aside for now.
Wise let out a small sigh and went straight to the point.
– First of all, you should know that he belongs to Walpurgis. You’ll be moving with me for a while.
“I see….”
Siegfried nodded with a look of dismay.
Once the story is over.
Weiss will take care of the rest, so that’s all.
‘I don’t know if it’s Siegfried alone, but if Wise is with me, I can trust it.’
To begin with, isn’t he someone who knows a little about that Demon God?
He will guide you well.
Then Siegfried asked.
“really…Will you be okay with me?”
“….”
A look that is still unsure of itself.
Of course, half of this guy’s condition right now is not without my intention. To make him give up being a hero.
“Last time you must have shown your convictions enough to stand up to Sir Richard.”
“But should I say that the mission Michael is trying to entrust to you is too important? I can’t decide if it’s possible with my capabilities.”
The reason I want to entrust this mission to this guy.
Primarily, this guy is doing this because he knows the ‘potential’ he showed before returning… ….
‘Because if you tell the truth, your self-esteem may hit the floor again… ….’
Let me explain it plausibly.
“First of all, you were a candidate for a hero like me, weren’t you? I was actually supported.”
“But that was only because of Archbishop Killian’s influence, wasn’t it? myself… ….”
“Your potential is real.”
“…!”
It’s not that I didn’t make an effort.
Although the direction may have been wrong in the past, this guy did not stop his efforts. No matter how much it is, no country has no choice but to rate it highly.
“Of course, the fact that you blindly followed him is wrong. I have no intention of advocating anything on that matter. What I am talking about now is after that.”
“after….”
This guy wanted to change himself.
When he knew he was wrong, he asked me for instruction rather than admit it and be intolerant.
I only believed in what I saw, and the ‘Siegfried’ I saw this time was definitely quite reborn.
furthermore….
‘In terms of connection with Hekau, there are few people like this guy.’
There was no talented person who had the fighting power of Siegfried and could move around.
“And it’s not that I’m not anxious at all, so they send me as a guide. That was it.”
“okay.”
At my words, he nodded his head with a slightly relieved expression.
“Then I will.”
“good.”
If so, what to do now is decided. First of all, inject Siegfried with magic tools and other knowledge needed to search for Hekau as attributes… ….
“Me but….”
“huh?”
Then Siegfried asked me cautiously.
“Hey Mr. Walpurgis…staff…Aren’t you using it?”
“….”
A moment of silence passed between the three of us.
– ….
Weiss stared at me quietly.
Strange eyes full of complex emotions.
what why
whatever.
* * *
The affairs of the church were handled quickly.
The pope issued a general summons of the archbishops, and Sir Richard also began diligently moving to place the paladins in the right place.
Gyoguk, which had been creaking, will be normalized again, so it should be considered a success.
Ariandel also seems to have repaired the barriers and equipment in various countries with her own divine power… ….
“now…My side is finished too.”
Ariandel slowly raised his body with a slightly tired look.
“Good work Ariandel.”
“Is Mikhail finished?”
“Yes, I put out the urgent fire. Other things… …I gave him instructions, so he’ll take care of it.”
“Siegfried…I mean.”
“Yes that’s right.”
In an instant, Ariandel’s expression changed quite strangely.
“I honestly don’t know. Will that Siegfried be able to do well?”
“You will do well.”
Because so many things have changed.
There was room to oppose the demon, and that ‘room’ included Siegfried’s rehabilitation.
“I guess so. It has to be. Of course, from my point of view, it doesn’t feel so cool, but… ….”
“What is that…I understand.”
Right after returning, I went to the church and beat him up, but I couldn’t do that in her case.
Is it an emotional issue?
“Once the situation is sorted out, let’s talk about it openly.”
“Including until the regression?”
“Shouldn’t that be the case?
After having such a conversation with Ariandel, I finished preparing to head to my next destination.
“By the way, Mikhail.”
“yes.”
After preparing for the teleport, she asked me in passing.
“Of course there must be Mikhail at that time, right?”
At that, the movement stopped for a moment.
I didn’t know what to say, but I didn’t get an answer for a while… ….
“of course.”
He smiled and replied.
