The Grand Mage who transcends by regression Episode 338
[Hey there.]
Set pointed to a place with sharp eyes.
Of course nothing.
outwardly.
But how could the demons make their own nests in plain sight?
Pandemonium.
There was a space created by the great demons to communicate their secret and miscellaneous conspiracies.
“under.”
I didn’t even dare to find it before returning, but I thought I’d find it easily this way.
I want so many things to change.
[What are you going to do?]
“What are you going to do? We have to break it so they can’t use it.”
A very simple purpose.
By now, the colleagues I sent in advance must be destroying Pandaemonium from the inside.
I wonder if it was before Solomon’s arrangement. Right now, my colleagues will have the ability to easily demolish an empty Pandaemonium, so there’s no need to worry too much.
[Then, breaking it is the end?]
“Of course, that is not the end.”
This space called Pandaemonium has been used as a communication channel for the great demons.
However, going back to its origins, Pandaemonium’s purpose was not simply a channel of communication.
Pandaemonium exists on the precarious boundary between reality and fantasy.
How was it possible to exist in such a strange form?
The reason is simple.
The origin of this Pandemonium is a dream that the Demon God once had.
When I said that, Set said with a surprised expression.
[That…Ah yes? It’s a story from a long time ago, so it wouldn’t have been well known.]
“I really collected all kinds of information randomly.”
Of course, this case was researched based on information obtained from Thoth, but anyway… ….
“The important thing is that there will be something to be gained from that Pandaemonium.”
The Demon God cut off the ‘dream’ he had.
But this is a dream, strictly speaking, it would be more accurate to say that I cut out my past.
In other words, should I say he was before he was called a “demon god” by mankind… ….
Then Set spoke to me.
[but…It’s been too long. I don’t know if there’s anything you want left.]
“The demon is fine.”
Then the past does not disappear.
I don’t know what the demon was thinking to cut my dream off… ….
Yes, the past is not something that can be cut so easily with time.
Especially if the subject is God.
“I think it’s definitely worth checking out.”
Ariandel took my words in a slightly nervous voice.
The demon’s past or dream.
Neither would be something to be treated lightly.
Do you need to understand him in order to gain a meaningful advantage against the Demon God?
How can you be so nasty?
“Then let’s go.”
“Oh Mikhail! Come to think of it, when do you plan to join other people? I guess I didn’t hear that.”
“Oh that….”
My dear colleagues who may have entered Pandaemonium before us.
Why did I send it in the first place?
“I will join you when everything is over.”
“…yes?”
Ariandel stares at me with an expression of incomprehension.
this is that… …Shouldn’t we take a slightly different approach this time to understand the demon?
Then what?
When I’m working, I need talented people who can pull aggro from the other side.
“…That was the plan.”
[…] ….]
“….”
As I roughly explained my grand plan, Set and Ariandel looked at me with strange expressions.
“hmm.”
Strangely, the gaze hurt, so I decided to turn my head first.
* * *
A space where no light can be seen.
The surroundings were surrounded by a gloomy fog, and an unpleasant aura hung everywhere.
reality and fantasy.
Until now, Pandemonium, the hall of the great demons, has always existed across the ambiguous boundary.
And now… ….
“Hmm.”
A place only allowed to those great demons has been revealed in front of human eyes.
“Keeeeeeeeeee!”
“Quiet.”
Along with the short words, sword light flashed lightly in the air.
At that moment, the high-ranking monster Basilisk, who once acted as the ruler of the realm, was decapitated.
cooong!
With a roar, the basilisk’s large body tumbled to the ground.
Terrible venom gushed out from the cut surface and melted the surroundings.
However, Lian, the swordsman who cut the basilisk, swung his sword lightly with a nonchalant expression and brushed off the venom.
But then.
[Keew!]
Where the basilisk fell out, this time a nine-headed snake was shooting out its fangs.
The demonic energy contained in each head is unusual.
Hydra.
Each and every monster here is known to be able to destroy a city in half.
But even that hydra.
Jiing!
Nine heads were blown off at once by a gigantic beam emitted from below, and he died in an instant.
Lian, who saw that, asked with a puzzled expression.
“…Is it real magic?”
“Right. Replace physical force with mana in an instant… ….”
“No, I understand that….”
Just by looking at it, you’re not a wizard.
Rian muttered as he looked at the butler, Merdin, who was showing off his muscular upper body.
I’d believe it even if that body wasn’t a wizard, it was just a barbarian.
“To put it bluntly, he is far from an ordinary wizard.”
His words were accepted by the wise Herma. The butler said confidently, twitching his muscles.
“I rejected the usual path and opened a new path of my own.”
“…Well, if you’re happy, that’s fine.”
Herma shrugged.
at that time.
“Whoa.”
In the middle of the conversation, a voice came to the ears of the three of them.
“Everything around was cleaned.”
Eileen Lindell.
She came walking among the corpses of the monsters spawned around her.
Her sword was thin and sharp like a whip.
Extreme aura control that would not dare to be used unless it is at a level that can be controlled in every word.
Of course, it’s not just her.
Everyone present here was in a state of incomparable heights compared to the past.
In the first place, no matter how empty the house is, there is no way you can set foot in this space with a decent level.
Minimum master or higher.
These are the stages reached at the end of each individual’s full potential.
However, monsters poured endlessly in this space to such an extent that even they felt tired.
It wasn’t even that those monsters were low-level.
Just like before, high-ranking monsters such as Basilisks and Hydras, on which a country’s knights had to risk their lives, were also mixed.
“Good job Eileen.”
Saying that, the butler habitually patted his waist.
“I didn’t expect to be given a job like this as soon as I came out, but I wonder if it’s too rough in my later years….”
“It’s late years…In my eyes, Merdin, your age is not that old.”
“It’s because it’s a time full of cold for humans.”
The butler’s eyes scanned the surroundings.
“Well, that’s why I diligently went around all these places.”
“Even taking that into account, I think it’s a bit overly bizarre.”
Rian grumbled as she drew her sword.
“What an empty house this is….”
“It’s not the hall of the great demons for nothing, is it? There is nothing strange about it.”
Eileen looked around while saying that.
An insidious fog that is hard to distinguish properly.
If Herma hadn’t had a way to avoid being affected by the fog, she wouldn’t have been able to stay this way.
“So, when the hell is Mikhail coming? I have no news of what you are doing.”
“Do you know how to do it, Bocchan? No one is watching.”
The butler smiled bitterly at Aileen’s words.
The demons will come again soon.
Until then, I’ll have to get some rest.
“First of all, stop making a fuss, what the hell are you going to do?”
“What, by any chance, was the purpose of having us deal with monsters like this?”
“Haha, it can’t be.”
At best, as soon as you come out of that long training, is it such an ignorant, repetitive task?
“Aw, that’s so crap.”
“That’s right, hee hee.”
Yes, no matter how much Mikhail is, it can’t be.
The party enjoyed a moment of peace with warm laughter.
“So how many did you hunt?”
“I think I’ve already caught hundreds of low-level ones, and I think I’ve cut ten of the top ones like basilisks.”
Of course, this won’t be the end.
Eileen frowned.
“This…It’s definitely bad.”
“The problem is that I can’t see the right exit. It can’t be like this… ….”
Does it come out again after it’s gone like this?
Lian clicked his tongue briefly as he looked at the corpse of the basilisk he had slain.
What the hell is this space like?
‘Can’t I just cut through the entire space?’
It seems like it will be… ….
The question is whether such a sudden action would work properly in this space filled with all kinds of variables.
space is cut
possible.
It might not have been in the past, but now Lian has reached a level where it is possible without difficulty.
But what if you just split the space without much thought and then connect to the demon world from there?
It’s not just speculation.
Space is so complex and contains so many uncertainties.
“If it’s Mikhail, that guy… ….”
Rian scratched his head, thinking of his bad friend who was working diligently even at this moment.
Did you go back in time?
He must have somehow enlightened himself in the process of struggling so much alone.
Even if it seemed to move spontaneously on the surface, there must have been elaborate calculations underneath.
Then Herma spoke.
“First of all, I didn’t do anything while you were hunting monsters….”
Herma continued, saying that they had come to a very simple conclusion.
“It just doesn’t seem like this ‘Pandemonium’ has any intention of bringing in humans.”
“That word….”
“As long as we follow the rules here, we have no choice but to deal with endlessly pouring monsters. What can I say about this… ….”
With the light in her fingertips, Herma brought the light towards the fog.
then that moment.
flinch.
Aren’t the fogs avoiding the light like living creatures?
Of course, this isn’t strange.
The barrier that Herma created in the first place continued to push back the fog.
the problem is….
“Can you say that the space itself is like the body of some gigantic being?”
As Herma moved the ‘light’ along a certain path, only then did the clear shapes of the surrounding fog begin to appear.
Yeah it was like a long term.
The fog was pulsating while maintaining a ‘clear shape’ to the extent that it felt as if it was inside a gigantic creature.
“The monsters we’ve dealt with so far would be more appropriately described as antibodies.”
Things that play a role in filtering and removing external impurities.
“It would be nice if we could get rid of us, but it seems that we decided that it was impossible to forcefully remove them after repeating it dozens of times.”
“If you can’t get rid of it, I’d rather erase the entrance itself and make it linger for the rest of my life.”
“Not a bad way. It is quite common for even swordsmen who have reached the extreme to have no magical knowledge.”
Even if you are a magician, it is difficult to see through the principle of this barrier unless you are really good at it.
Besides, assuming that the Great Devil is alive and well, there is no way we can just ignore their invasion.
“However, the hero sent us all the way here, but there is no way that there was no plan. That said, it was within our assumptions that we wandered around like this… ….”
Herma tilted her head and thought for a while.
and after a while
“It doesn’t matter. That should have been enough. Because whatever he intended through us, it is likely that he has already achieved results.”
“Then what should I do?”
At that, Herma laughed.
“Is there any need to complicate the countermeasures?”
“That means….”
“It rips through space.”
That was one of the ‘methods’ that Lian had previously thought of.
But a sage would have said this with clear grounds.
“Are you okay?”
“Well, if what I’m thinking is correct, it was meaningful for us to continue dealing with monsters here in the first place.”
The fact that the monsters poured out means that they recognized themselves as ‘disease germs’ and behaved desperately.
That’s why the attention was focused on them.
If that’s the case, maybe the reason why the hero made them head here… ….
‘Well, let’s not say this.’
Herma roughly guessed Mikhail’s intentions, but for now, she decided to stay still.
Even after seeing this, it was because he was a former sage, so he could roughly see how rampant those three would be if he revealed this fact.
“That’s fine.”
No matter what Herma thought, Lian smiled and raised the sword.
If Herma’s permission has been granted, there is no need to delay any longer.
If there is anyone who has achieved the greatest results through this training, it is undoubtedly Lian.
“Good for you. I was getting annoyed because I couldn’t rest properly and only cut monsters.”
There’s nothing better than wielding a sword. Lian doesn’t particularly care about weapons anymore.
It’s not just about having a high proficiency with multiple weapons.
If Lian before the return was a weapon expert who effectively uses various weapons, now he is… ….
Keying.
It has reached a level where the possibilities of those weapons are united.
What does that mean?
‘It’s just counting dirty.’
Ryan decided to simply think.
Even the complex calculations of the past were intended to be the realm of instinct.
And the results of those bloody training sessions… ….
Keying.
In this way, even things that could not be cut originally became able to be cut.
Simple ignorant but sure.
Chow!
The fog-filled vision split, and light shone in an area where no light could be seen.
‘Am I finally leaving?’
After days of not washing, eating, or resting properly, I finally found an ‘exit’.
Of course, Mikhail, who instructed all of this, must be having a hard time too.
First, join him and solve this problem… ….
“Are you here?”
…The first thing I saw as soon as I came out was the damn guy’s top.
Mikhail greeted them with a leisurely cup of tea.
really intact.
With a dignified expression, as if he hadn’t really suffered at all.
“….”
Lian stood still, hesitantly, then turned his gaze toward the sword he was holding.
Then I saw a group of people who looked like complete beggars.
And once again, I saw Mikhail without a blemish anywhere on his clothes.
“hmm.”
Rihanna moment.
‘Should I just close my eyes and stab it?’
I felt an intense urge to kill.
