The Grand Mage who transcends by returning, Episode 356
『Heir Master.』
Horus hit his head as it were.
Knowing when to apologize quickly is certainly not a bad thing… ….
“Did someone who knew that do this? That’s even worse.”
“The child’s wish was so earnest. And the ‘result’ can’t be bad… ….”
“But the result you said would have been ruined had I not intervened.”
『…I have no face.]
It was the demon’s intention to prevent the divine object from being completed in the first place.
It looks easy because I do it. Historically, I am the only one who can use magic that intervenes in space and time.
In other words, if it wasn’t for me, the divine object would never have been completed.
However, if Horus was aware of my existence from the beginning, that was not the case either.
To put it bluntly, it was irresponsible.
“I have no intention of blaming you for what has already happened. You know why I’m here anyway.”
“Yes, it must be because of the sickness.”
With that, Horus held out his hands politely. There was a light in the palms that were folded like that.
Asar’s Arrangement.
That last puzzle.
“…hmm.”
All you have to do now is get your hands on it.
With this, Asar’s arrangement will find its perfect form, and I will also have the strength to fight against the demon that I so longed for.
yes then it will be
then….
[Is Mikhail okay?]
Set asked cautiously at that time.
Perhaps it was because he was worried that he had been frozen in front of the divine object for a while, he was looking at me while touching my face with his small hands.
“…are you okay.”
It just sounded a bit odd.
If Asar’s arrangements are truly completed, there will be no turning back.
In a way, it can be said that it was a natural momentary hesitation.
If you are a person with feelings, you have no choice but to worry for a while… ….
『Heir-sama, let me tell you first, the sacred item I was in charge of… …』
“Oh, no need to explain. Anyway, that distinction is meaningless now.”
The important thing is what happens when you completely collect the gods.
Now, it doesn’t matter what each deity has meaning and power.
I carefully touched the light floating on Horus’ palm.
then that moment.
pounding.
Each god subject to the depths of my soul began to resonate.
The first thing to react was the heart.
Asar’s heart started beating wildly, slowly bringing the other gods together.
“Kuk!”
Something suddenly moved, as if lubrication had been poured into a mechanical device that had not moved due to rust.
A groan escaped me unconsciously, and I reflexively grabbed my heart.
throbbing.
The rhythmic beat of my heart was clearly audible in my ears.
‘Right. this…Is it food!’
The gods were like elaborate mechanical devices.
As the ‘last puzzle’ was put together like cogs turning at an exact seam, Shinmul quickly began to find its function.
thought at the same time.
what’s going on now
I know that the round table is perfect.
But what happens to ‘me’?
I don’t know that much for sure.
All I know is that an effective means against the Demon God will be created.
Just what you need to do before that.
“Horus Set.”
I immediately called them both.
The two of them nodded their heads at my words with obvious nervous expressions on their faces.
Both must have intuited that now is an important moment.
[what…Can I do it?]
『Please give me instructions.』
I silently pointed up at the two of them.
“It is time to start over.”
and with my words.
thud.
Their bodies were wrapped in golden aura, and at the same time… ….
“This power is finally…!”
“ah!”
It is not a simplified body.
In an instant, both returned to their original form.
Proof that the Round Table has finally started functioning.
The two were immediately summoned to the Round Table.
It is clear that Thoth had a hand in it.
He seemed to be preparing for the completion of the round table a long time ago.
“Whoa….”
All that’s left is me.
Now all I have to do is wrap this all up.
I’m already qualified to rise to the level of a god at any time.
Therefore, the changes that will happen to me from now on will not simply be of a higher level.
something radically different.
There will surely be a means to help you seize the victory in the battle with the Demon God.
And while I closed my eyes for a while.
Hoo-wook.
After the dizzying feeling of floating, a strange sense of security began to rise from the depths of my soul.
What should I do?
A long lost hometown.
Should I say the feeling when I set foot in that hometown?
When I opened my eyes in such unknown comfort.
“Long time no see, Mikhail-kun.”
A familiar voice was heard.
It was a little different from the time in my memory, but the essence felt in it was the same… ….
“Asar the Great.”
I called his name slowly.
“okay.”
God answered my words.
“Is this your first time?”
The true god was in front of me with a playful smile.
* * *
“Ha, he really did it!”
Thoth looked at the round table that was emitting a brilliant light without hiding his excitement.
The situation was different from before.
All the apostles present here could intuit this fact.
The Round Table has regained its original light, and all the apostles have regained their lost power.
Even Thoth, who maintains a poker face on most things, couldn’t hide his joy.
13 apostles.
No one was eliminated and everyone gathered here.
The vacant place was completely filled with the return of Set and Horus.
“iced coffee.”
Anubis lowered his head in emotion soaring with a thrilled expression. And that’s not all.
Others also expressed emotion.
Thoth, as the leader of this round table, informed everyone of the situation.
“Michael succeeded in conquering all the tombs, and as a result, his arrangement was completed.”
“Haha finally!”
Root laughed as if he was having fun and expressed his joy with his whole body.
“Hehe finally!”
“The long cave life is over!”
The twin apostles Lesset and Mecht also expressed their joy without hiding it.
Of course, despite expressing such joy, the apostles present here did not forget their duty.
What could be done with the completion of the Round Table?
Apophis looked at everyone and said.
“We were agents of the land. That means that we can reconstruct this world into the realm of our ‘protection’.”
“Yeah, that’s what’s important.”
Thoth received Apophis’ words. He looked at the 12 apostles one by one, excluding himself, and said with a solemn expression.
“Unlike this time, we can definitely exercise our rights as owners of each area.”
In short, it is the return of the apostle.
They were originally Asar’s knights, servants and children at the same time. He was also the first lord to rule the land.
Its meaning is great.
Until now, if the power of demons had been suppressed by borrowing the power of graves, now their existence itself becomes a deterrent to evil.
“Then what we need to do now is simple.”
So far, they have been in a hurry to defend. It was only natural that he was not recognized as the owner.
But now it’s different.
they became masters.
And if the owner is the one who invades the land at will, of course, he must be punished severely.
“We are from now on.”
Thoth declared.
As a representative of the 13 apostles.
“It excludes evil.”
The apostles rose up.
* * *
First time or reunion.
Only Asar in front of me knows which one.
But one thing is clear: the ‘Asar’ in front of me right now is the ‘real’ one who has gone through everything.
“You can call it a reunion, or you can call it a first meeting. Either way it doesn’t matter. Let’s call it whatever you’re comfortable with.”
“Since then…A little different?”
His personality seemed a little different from Asar, whom he encountered in the pseudo-reality created by the twin apostles.
I guess I’m a little bit younger
At my words, Asar shrugged his shoulders and said.
“It just changed into a form that suits you. I can be anything and I can be nothing.”
“….”
“Isn’t that what God is? The God that all mankind desires is always different.”
Some may wish for a beautiful goddess, while others may wish for a thoughtful old man.
Also, someone might think of the mischievous mischievous child in front of me right now.
Is it roughly like that?
“But why….”
“Wouldn’t it be a bit easier to think that it appeared at roughly your mental age, unlike before?”
“….”
what. why is it so thick
He’s obviously a great being, but why the hell… …No, but it’s strange that such an attitude is comfortable.
In an instant, Asar’s form changed. This time, it was in the form of a tired old man.
“Then, how about having a conversation like this?”
“Let’s just do it a while ago. I don’t think I need to be polite either.”
“What good.”
Returning to his original form, Asar smiled and said.
“Congratulations anyway. I have completed my arrangement. The Round Table has been resurrected and my children will do their duty as lords of this land.”
“Then you don’t have to worry about humanity anymore.”
“Yes, although the premise of peace is that you defeat him.”
Okay. because you will win
It’s really hard to hold on if you’re not so sure. really.
At my words, Asar laughed.
“Aren’t you going to ask how you are? You must be curious.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“Why do we just have to annihilate him in some way? You don’t care what happens to yourself?”
“….”
I didn’t reply to that.
It was because he knew that Asar wasn’t asking a question specifically for an answer.
After a while, I let out a small sigh and told him.
“The important thing is peace.”
“Ah, I know. I have no intention of uttering fundamental bullshit, such as saying that there is no meaning to peace created through sacrifice in the first place. but.”
he saw me
feeling very uncomfortable.
“Don’t make the assumption that you have to sacrifice yourself.”
“….”
“If a guy with a bright future thinks about dying already, write it. It’s all about living well with each other.”
“What are you going to say?”
Wasn’t Asar the first to sacrifice himself to give mankind freedom?
But what… ….
“What am I…Because I have lived a long time.”
“….”
“I have existed so long that I no longer want to exist. That’s why I just decided to end it.”
Rather, it was the result of procrastinating and procrastinating over and over again. Saying that, he smiled bitterly.
“You are different. There are many possibilities in the future you may live in. Too short to choose.”
“….”
“I’m not saying sacrifice is bad or don’t sacrifice.”
Asar approached slowly.
“If you see anything, catch it. I mean, don’t give up just because you’ve achieved everything, and be stubborn.”
“….”
I could see what he was trying to say.
Perhaps this isn’t just advice.
It is to inform you of ‘options’ that may arise.
I said with a small sigh.
“I would like one, please.”
“say it.”
“Please lend me your name. Sure enough to fool the world.”
It refers to the god ‘Asar’ and reaches the top where the devil sits.
And to face the final battle with the Demon God. At my words, Asar smiled bitterly.
“It doesn’t matter. But before that, let me say one more thing.”
“Tell me.”
and that moment.
hook.
The atmosphere has changed.
Of course, Asar’s appearance was also different.
Now he was a middle-aged man who seemed a little more upright and uncompromising.
“The moment you face him, you will have to make an important choice.”
The last prophecy as a god.
Of course, you should never be fooled.
“What is your choice?”
“What you wish for.”
His words didn’t go further.
abstract answer.
But I nodded my head politely.
“understand.”
I don’t know what exactly.
It won’t be an easy choice as he himself warned… ….
Every day has always been like that for me.
