The Grand Mage who transcends by returning, Episode 181

“I once resented God.”

The seeker silently gazed up at the sky with a wrinkled face.

He was one of the seekers.

A being who finally attains enlightenment and knows his own light.

But now even the life of the last seeker was coming to an end.

The light of the crown of thorns dims.

I, no, we quietly watched the investigator’s end.

I don’t know who he is.

All we know is that he is a member of the Seekers and the last one at the same time.

But that was enough.

Before the light went out, he slowly continued talking about himself.

“No matter how much I prove my faith and find the right faith, there is no evidence that my wish has reached God….”

The story of seekers.

They were believers who once despaired of their faith.

“But then I saw the light. It was the light deep in my soul that was dormant in myself. I realized. The road I walked…It was a little different.”

thorny road.

At some point, they said they started walking on their own path without even realizing it.

Ironically, the direction of faith they took for granted delayed their realization.

“…God has not abandoned us. Even if it seems like the end, it certainly won’t be the end.”

he was looking at something

We do not know what the investigator saw at the last moment or why he smiled.

The important thing is that the seekers sacrificed their bodies to save many people from demons.

…That’s enough.

I got down on one knee and quietly said goodbye to him.

“…Rest in peace.”

“Thank you Grand Mage.”

The light has dimmed.

The crown of thorns that covered his head also fell.

“I think I know now. haha…Really, I wish I had realized it a little sooner….”

end with that.

The last investigator closed his eyes.

That night.

It was when I was staring blankly at the night sky.

Ariandel came slowly towards me and asked.

“You look upset, don’t you?”

“well.”

It was a time when death was common.

There is no ghost in death.

We were quite detached from anyone’s death before we knew it.

The death of the seeker would have been one of those ‘separate’ things.

But why?

“Maybe a little bit.”

It seems a little different this time.

faith.

In this situation, which would not be strange even if God abandoned it, it was those who were more conflicted about it than anyone else who kept their faith.

“you are…What do you think, Ariandel?”

“It is a noble death. Of course, I hope my end is a little different.”

She stared at the darkness that was rolling in beyond her with transparent eyes.

“What I need is a death that is meaningful even if it is miserable, rather than a death that is only sublime.”

“Everyone in the expedition is like that.”

yes everyone….

In some way, they hope that their end will lead to a worthy ending.

None of us wanted the same ending as living and living happily ever after.

Not because I didn’t want it, but because I knew it wasn’t realistic.

We talked to each other quietly under the stars, helping each other.

Most of them are trivial things.

However, the past that reminded me of it was a little comforting, so we often talked about this.

And in the meantime.

“Faith is very complicated. Isn’t that right, Mikhail?”

“That is true, but….”

“To be honest, my faith and faith are nothing compared to those seekers.”

“Ariandel is….”

“No, it is true. What was the reality I faced after completing that long training? The damned hero was already nominated, and Cassandra…Didn’t that child go missing at the hands of archbishops who would not be able to chew on it?”

Her eyes were very dark when she said that.

“…It was really X-like reality. That day, for the first time, I resented the God I believed in.”

“that….”

I tried to calm her down and convince her.

A saintess’ distrust is dangerous.

If her mind becomes ambiguous, there will surely be a lot of trouble with her future plans.

But no matter how I reacted, she continued.

“But maybe the foundation of ‘belief’ we think of is wrong. …Yes, maybe that’s why I ended up like this.”

“….”

“Isn’t it funny? What is perfect faith? In the first place, humans are not perfect beings….”

The process of going to perfection is also important.

However, Kyoguk wanted even the process to be perfect.

To be precise….

I was trying to have complete control.

“If I could have changed them, it would have been better than it is now.”

“….”

“Do you know? I wonder if those who left today became hope.”

Of course, it didn’t make any sense.

Isn’t it impossible to rewind things that have already passed?

With that thought in mind, I quietly looked up at the night sky, and she said a little sarcastically.

“…i know.”

as if lamenting a little.

“It can’t happen.”

* * *

I saw an unfamiliar ceiling and said

“…hmm.”

I slowly got up from my seat.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been homeless for a while and I’ve been sleeping in a proper bed for the first time in a while.

My body feels lighter than usual.

A little bit of the dream I had in that light feeling…Although it was complicated.

“It can’t happen….”

It is a reality that can only be said to be truly bizarre.

I didn’t know that the words I joked about at the time would become reality.

No matter what country it is.

“I hope it will come true.”

It was so funny that I burst into laughter.

[hmm? Did it come true?]

Oh, there was this guy.

I laughed as I watched the set drinking tea leisurely at the table next to me.

A small set holding a teacup the size of a dust…. It is a strange sight in many ways.

“Can you still drink tea or something like that?”

[It’s kind of like mental victory, but it has the feeling of drinking tea roughly, so can’t we say that we can drink it?]

In other words, it just makes you feel like drinking.

For some reason, seeing this made me feel a bit pitiful.

[Why are you looking at me like that?]

“Will you give me a nice car next time I materialize?”

[…] …Hmm?]

Set tilted his head.

[Yes. There was definitely a way to use materialization like that.]

“Didn’t you even think about it?”

[Yes, materialization is like a trump card. Using it like that…I thought it was a waste.]

[That’s a waste.]

At that time, I heard a voice from the other side.

When I turned my head, I saw Anubis, who was leaning back on the bed with his body shrunken.

Considering the guy’s true identity, he looked like a loyal dog for some reason.

“What else are you doing?”

[…] …I’ve been waiting for you to wake up. First of all, I have to say something like the test results.]

“Hmm.”

Well, that remained.

Anubis hesitated, then suddenly lowered his head and said.

[Uh, the faith you demonstrated yesterday is definitely…It was impressive.]

“How come you have such a reluctant expression?”

[that…I’ve had a habit of stuttering a little since the old days.]

[What bullshit?]

Set looked at Anubis from the side with a ridiculous expression.

[You said it unnecessarily and unluckily from before. There was nothing to stutter. That Thoth acknowledged…]

[Oh, isn’t it?]

Anubis slightly looked away.

Set silently pointed at the staff and gave silent pressure.

“hmm.”

[Ha anyway! The light you proved…It’s important that you enchanted all the followers there! yes! Isn’t that what’s important?!]

I thought about yesterday’s incident for a while.

The believers wept silently after seeing the ‘light of the crown of thorns’ in me.

At first, it was only one person, but later, all the believers in the area started to cry.

what is so sad

What else is so happy?

Well, tears are what I sometimes laugh at.

Anyway, it was.

The believers let go of their past, weeping so sadly, and in that moment a lot has changed.

[You made them free themselves from the shackles of the sanctuary.]

“That’s what they decided.”

[However, it is also true that your light has convinced me. That’s something no one else has ever done.]

Anubis had a pretty complicated face while saying that.

[…] …So I have to admit it.]

“What are you admitting?”

[That the things I’ve done so far were nothing more than a way to vent my anger with malicious intent. and…That he abandoned his duties as an apostle, too.]

“Hmm.”

I watched Anubis quietly.

The boy had a very sullen expression.

I really don’t know if that guy has completely reformed, but it doesn’t matter.

“That means I passed your test.”

[Yes.]

Anubis nodded.

[The sight you showed me…If that’s not a proof of faith, what should I call it?]

After saying that, Anubis stood up slowly.

[So I’ll admit it. That you deserve the divine object I was guarding, the ‘Mirage’.]

The guy looked at Set and me alternately, then put his hands together.

as if praying

Ugh.

Then light began to slowly spread out from his body.

And the moment the light filled the field of view and then disappeared….

“Hmm.”

We were again at the temple where we first met Anubis.

The boy said with a wry smile.

[Welcome to the tomb.]

* * *

“It’s a temple….”

When I first encountered Anubis here, I didn’t think much of it because I was thinking of just destroying it.

But after everything is over, it’s a different story.

At the same time, tables and chairs were created.

Just three chairs for me, Seth, and Anubis himself.

“What are we talking about here?”

[Anyway, I think it’s better to do it in a suitable place to pass on a sacred object. then….]

After saying that, he floated a sphere in front of me.

The sphere slowly moved towards me and was engraved in the form of a pattern near my right collarbone.

A character that looks similar to a heat wave.

[This is the new ‘Mirage’.]

“…Uhm.”

I slowly accepted the divine power.

By the fourth time, you gradually get used to accepting new things.

[How to handle….]

“I think I know. therefore….”

Even before Anubis had finished speaking, he instantly raised the power of the god he had received.

“Is it like this?”

[…] …Huh?]

I could roughly guess what kind of ‘mirage’ it was.

The moment when the power of ‘Mirage’ was used.

Suddenly, my appearance changed.

“Hmm hmm.”

As soon as I cleared my throat, a different, rough voice came out of my throat.

When I took out the mirror, there was a middle-aged man with tangled gray hair.

‘It’s different from fantasy magic.’

A power that is different from that.

Even the transformation potion of an alchemist craftsman would not be able to imitate others with such precision.

[You say you learn this right away?

] It’s time to get used to it.”

[No, that’s not a problem…]

Anubis’ expression full of distrust.

Come to think of it, the reactions of other Guardians who have been sick to me have been similar.

Then Set said.

[I’ve said it many times. You are clearly outside the standard.]

“Is that so?”

[Same as the last Authority, should I say that I know those things instinctively….]

Out of specification.

I know roughly what Set is talking about.

Maybe my understanding of spiritual things is related to my family lineage.

‘I think I’ll be able to learn more about Remegeton once I get the qualifications….’

The problem is that the qualifications are ambiguous, and the achievement of the qualifications is still a long way off.

After a while, Anubis, who came to his senses belatedly, spoke to me.

[Collecting four sacred objects now means that we can soon discuss the qualifications of the ‘Round Table’.]

“You have to collect all of them.”

What Thoth said.

The moment all the divine objects are gathered, the round table descends and all the apostles….

[That’s it, if it’s a complete ’round table’, there must be everyone, but as long as it’s influential enough, it doesn’t matter if only six people gather.] “

…hmm?”

[It’s a number that’s less than half, but…Well, that can be a deterrent to some extent.]

Six…

So, are there two left?

In fact, the more I collect new things, the more I realize that something is changing.

That is the power of extinction right now.

‘Something more….’

I felt that the burden on authority was less than before.

No, not only that.

Everything, including magic, is definitely more advanced than before.

“Now that we have the fourth sacred item in our hands, let’s ask for one.”

[Anything that is possible.]

You will be able to do it.

“Now that I’m sick of it, the autonomy of the tomb should also increase, right?”

[That’s right.]

“Then….”

This is insurance anyway.

There is a high probability that it will not happen, but there is no guarantee that it will not ‘definitely’ happen.

“I have a job for you.”

[If it’s something I’m entrusted with….]

“Guardian of Territory.”

Marquis of Walpurgis.

It’s a family that will thrive without me, and my father can be said to be a great lord too…Still, it’s better to be prepared.

At my words, Anubis tilted her head.

[According to what you said, isn’t your family strong? I don’t have to….]

“It’s probably like that. But if the Great Devil intervenes, it’s different.”

I never underestimate the power of the Prime Demons.

That’s why I was sure.

No matter when or how, they’re going to target our family….

“If anyone gets too close, fuck them up.”

It’s disbelief hell.
