The great mage who transcends by returning Episode 344
“Heh ha…haha!”
Lian burst into laughter as he saw Alzeum kneeling beneath him.
Alzeum was slowly disappearing.
But Lian soon stopped laughing.
I forgot something… ….
‘Didn’t I say it would explode?’
I’m sure I heard that when the Great Devil dies, there will be a gigantic explosion that will devastate the entire area… …?
“ah.”
Lian watched Alzeum disappearing with a slightly uneasy expression.
“Are you going to explode too…?”
【Hehe… ….]
At that, Alzeum grinned and laughed.
Ugh.
Slowly, his body began to be enveloped in ominous light.
“crazy…!”
In response, Lian widened his distance from him with a pale expression.
such a precarious situation.
The guy is sure.
‘I should have sealed off the possibility of an explosion, but I didn’t care about that!’
Until now, it was Mikhail who had annihilated the Great Devil.
Unknowingly, Lian had taken it for granted that Mikhail had undone the explosion itself.
Actually, it’s not.
Naturally, it was because it was ‘Michael’ that such problems were solved.
“Damn it…!”
When Rian, who realized the fact belatedly, tried to throw herself in to somehow solve the situation.
“Do not worry.”
Bright light filled the surroundings.
“A saintess’s divine power is not a showpiece, right?”
Ariandel generated divine power.
At that moment, the Divine Curtain, which had spread widely around Lian and Alzeum, became smaller in an instant.
Exactly the size of Alzeum.
The divine curtain unfolded by Ariandel became a prison that imprisoned Alzeum.
【…!]
At that moment, the red light that was visible through the helmet was stained with bewilderment.
belatedly he realized
‘It wasn’t just the hero!’
It was the same with his colleague.
An individual has already developed the ability to deal with the Great Devil.
Feeling gloomy about that fact, Alzeum struggled somehow.
He is the great god’s mace.
– Go and make my will come true.
He received a solemn mission from the great god.
Qualified to block the plans of the hero and realize the will of the gods.
It must have been.
I had to. But why… …!
He’s not even a hero, but he’s kneeling like this to a colleague next to him… …!
[I can’t accept this!]
Alzeum convulsively raised his body.
I hadn’t even thought of such an absurd ending.
How long had I patiently waited for the moment to descend into this world by his side.
But it was a stark reality.
The one standing was Lian’s side, and the one kneeling was Alzeum.
The misery gripped him.
and that moment.
It is only when all the ‘numbers’ he can mobilize are neutralized and he reaches the end of the end… ….
[Ah.]
He could remember.
The only possibility that has now disappeared, not this ‘time zone’.
The ‘possibility’ that they won an overwhelming victory and all order was reorganized under the glory of God.
The possibility was shown.
【This….]
A human swordsman who confronts himself in a horrendous state.
I see bright red blood.
The sword that pierced his body and the eyes that did not bend their will even though they were distorted by the pain… ….
【you…】
I remembered.
It’s a bastard. After an endless bloody battle, the damned human being had to end in the form of co-destruction… …!
Alzeum reached out.
【Sword Castle… …!]
I don’t know why this memory came to me.
It may be that at the last moment His mercy has risen from the depths of your soul.
But one thing is clear.
Whether it be mercy or whatever, this memory itself is damning.
“It’s the swordsman. It’s not called that yet.”
Lian replied with a smile.
Alzeum tried to say something more with his eyes wide open, but the time given to him was long over… ….
soul wears out
The body begins to disintegrate like a precarious sandcastle.
Alzeum glared at him until he disappeared.
Sword Saint Lian Paslov.
yeah that was the name.
He was needlessly desperate and needlessly tough.
I raised my hand.
But right after that, even the strength of the hand he had been trying to reach disappeared and collapsed.
【Ahhh….]
How….
What is the disastrous outcome?
Unable to overcome the resentment and anger, Alzeum disappeared as it was with its eyes wide open.
It was an absurd end to the point of being overdone for coming to the end with such haste and haste.
“…Is it really over?”
Lian struggled to withstand the fact that her legs gave out without her knowledge and she tried to sit down.
I had no idea that Alzeum would suddenly appear in this situation.
Fortunately, I defeated and annihilated him, but I was still confused.
“her.”
won anyway
It was a complete victory.
Alzeum and himself.
After facing each other on an equal footing, he won.
By reaching the level of imitating the ‘sacred sword’ that he did not dare to take out before returning… ….
experience of that moment.
It was so dramatic and beautiful that I dare not express it in words.
‘Did I finally win?’
Before the regression, it could not be seen as a complete victory.
Gongdeok was obviously the best in that situation, but as a soldier… …What was a little disappointing was that it was unavoidable.
But now it’s different.
He realized that he had truly surpassed his pre-return self.
“haha…!”
Then he pursed his lips and burst into laughter.
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha!”
The joy of overcoming the limit wells up from the depths of the heart.
finished.
It would be good to say that the threat aimed at him was over for now.
I can’t believe I’ve annihilated one of the great demons, but there could be a greater threat than that!
The moment you try to raise your body with such thoughts.
[Ah.]
I heard a voice.
At the same time, the expressions on everyone’s faces changed.
Even Lian, who was immersed in the afterglow of victory, was no exception.
The place where Alzeum disappeared.
A young man stood there as if he had been there from the beginning.
He looked over the seat where Alzeum was, as if feeling sorry for him, and slowly turned his gaze to Lian.
【Are you trying to stop me?】
The Demon God asked while facing them with an unpredictable gaze.
Even a brief confrontation made him feel that the creatures harbored fear towards him.
but nonetheless.
[I see.]
My spiritual and physical companions only responded by quietly raising their own weapons.
The Demon God looked at the place where Alzeum had been.
There would be no point in further conversation.
The Demon God took a step.
towards my soul.
sticky.
While ignoring the ‘discomfort’ in his right arm that hadn’t gone away yet.
* * *
“Well, that’s definitely not good.”
With his arms crossed, ■■Ma■■ tilted her head with a troubled expression.
“It’s funny, but I froze time, but in your expression I…So, it doesn’t mean much against the ‘Demon God’, right?”
Time was earned, but that was the limit.
In the first place, this guy is ‘young’.
The Demon God is a fully grown being after seeing the end of that childhood.
Of course, there is bound to be a big difference in terms of capabilities.
then what am i doing
“Well, I realized.”
“Oh finally? It was just right.”
The guy asked with a smile on his face as if he was happy to see him.
“What exactly did you realize? Of course, if it’s a high enough level to be able to recognize my name with certainty, that kind of realization… ….”
“I realized that there was never a ‘first’ for either side.”
“…hmm?”
In the beginning there was a god.
first existence.
He felt lonely, and to relieve his feelings, he removed his shadow and gave it equal value to himself.
To put it bluntly, all these questions are premised on the fact that the ‘shadow’ was created after the first god… ….
“I don’t think you showed me this because you wanted me to find a clear ‘truth’ anyway.”
“That’s right.”
this guy said
The important thing here is not to find out the truth which one is really first.
I said that the process of worrying like that would raise my rank.
And I’ve been thinking about it over and over until now.
“Then, in the end, I think the answer you thought and the answer I thought are bound to be different.”
“…Hmm tell me.”
“I mean, in the first place, I am of the position that there is no ‘first’ either way.”
At my words, ■■Ma■■ put on a very interesting expression.
“There is no first time?”
“In the end, isn’t this the difference in how to deal with the separation of the self? You genuinely think that the ‘first god’ is in the position where he shared his power with the shadow.”
“yes.”
“This is what I think.”
Here’s the question he posed:
which one comes first
Of course, it might be a matter of precisely which one of the Demon God and Asar is the ‘first’.
However, as I said before, what he is asking for is not the ‘result’ of finding such a firm truth.
The guy wants to establish his own identity more firmly in the process.
And that solid identity leads to a rise in ‘class’… ….
“At the point of division, ‘first’ loses its meaning.”
“Hmm….”
“First of all, I’m not trying to deny your opinion. That’s just my ‘interpretation’.”
yes that’s it
There can be many interpretations of one phenomenon, and my interpretation is one of them.
“Just as the demon god removed you from himself, the ‘first god’ also removed the shadow from himself.”
“yes.”
“But I call him ‘The Devil’. I don’t call it ■■Ma■■. He’s a drinker to me. Are you just a part of him? no it won’t be.”
The ■■Ma■■ in front of me is also a god.
At first, I also wondered if this guy was just a part of the Demon God, but… ….
no.
After all, this guy is also a guy.
It just didn’t fall.
Rather, if you think of it as a starting point, you might see this guy as more ‘real’.
Isn’t there a subject of rebellion of creation in creation?
It means that there is a possibility that this is also the case with the current drinker.
“I don’t think the ‘real’ ■■Ma■■ before being separated can never come back. It’s already dead at that point. Young-young.”
“All that’s left is that demon and me?”
“That is my interpretation.”
So where in the world was there a perfect truth? Originally, it’s all about trial and error to get closer to perfection.
Anyway, the conclusion I ‘interpreted’.
“It means that at the point of separation, it can’t be the first time either way.”
“….”
At my words, he wasn’t surprised or taken aback.
It was as if he was just calmly thinking about my interpretation.
And after a while he said.
“Is that your realization?”
“Yes.”
I’m in a position where I think either way is worthwhile.
Of course, I’m going to leave out for a moment what good and evil are in that ‘value’.
The boy let out a bitter laugh.
“In a way, it’s a complaint.”
“But it’s a grumbling with meaning. Because it is the direction of my divinity.”
“I will not deny it.”
That too was worth it, he admitted with a nod.
“After all, in a way, what you just said means that you believe in human potential.”
“yes.”
“Are you saying that creatures have precious values and have the right to respect them?”
Again, our conversation was not intended to establish the perfect truth in the first place.
To use that as an excuse to convince each other of their position. And it seemed to work out pretty well.
That would be too.
“Now I know your name.”
Because I thought I knew now.
“I see.”
At my words, the boy nodded his head with an expressionless expression.
I slowly put the guy’s ‘name’ in my mouth.
“Harmageddon.”
yeah that was the name.
end of apocalypse… ….
In any case, after some role play between the two gods, Harmageddon defined himself as the end and the end.
can understand its meaning.
To those words, ‘Harmageddon’ replied with a strange laugh.
“That is correct. then….”
He looked at me and spread his arms wide. Then, in response, my godhead opened its mouth.
“Take me down somewhere.”
Gladly.
