The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 188
Nidavellir’s weapon crusher.
This is the name that Daedalus used to call his friends and enemies in the past.
For better or for worse, he was definitely a foreign being.
While making weapons as a craftsman.
At the same time, he also broke those weapons.
Some even called him a ‘renegade’.
For a weaponsmith to break a weapon is literally something only a renegade would do.
‘…Be a renegade.’
Daedalus recalled those old memories and looked ahead.
A human man and woman were staring at them.
An impolite attitude.
But even so, both eyes are full of enthusiasm for learning.
Those eyes…It brought back old memories for him.
– Master.
It is a memory of a disciple.
The gap between the past and the present hurts him very much.
Unlike now, which is completely ruined, it was once a truly ideal teacher-teacher relationship….
‘I don’t know. Why the hell did you hate me so much?’
If the devil’s curse planted on his arm was due to his disciple, there must be a reason.
Until now, as a teacher, he had been sure that his apprentice, Icarus, would not cross the line.
No matter how much it goes over to ‘them’, I will keep the line.
But now even that is not certain.
“Whoa.”
He let out a sigh of relief and stood up.
“Breaking weapons…It’s close to my innate talent. It’s probably hard to imitate perfectly.”
“it’s okay.”
Ryan nodded.
It seems like that was expected from the beginning.
“I didn’t want to inherit Daedalus’ skills anyway. Even if it were possible, it wouldn’t be a skill that could be learned in just a week.”
“…Uhm.”
“But I’m sure there is something to be learned from Daedalus’ teachings.”
Saying that, Lian’s eyes were filled with firm determination.
Eyes that yearn for pure learning without the slightest falsehood.
I turned my head to Eileen next to me.
So was she.
How can you be so confident?
Unbeknownst to himself, he asked.
“Is it because of that hero that you two are so sure?”
“Oh that….”
At those words, Eileen hesitated for a moment, but then spoke.
“…yes you are right Because he doesn’t say anything wrong.”
Even if he said it as if he couldn’t help it, the emotion in his answer was trust.
“her.”
At that moment, Daedalus muttered involuntarily.
“really…Great.”
He is different from himself who aided in the fall of his disciple whom he personally reaped.
They felt clear trust towards the hero.
The hero must have shown his colleagues that he was trustworthy enough to show such trust.
‘…Unlike me.’
When I think of that, a sense of shame rises from the depths of my heart.
“Heuk!”
He reflexively grabbed his chest and staggered.
“Are you all right, old man?”
“I’m fine.”
He nodded his head and tried to calm his raging thoughts.
yeah it’s not over
Even one who has fallen into this kind of situation should be able to teach him something.
No matter what happened in the past, isn’t it the time to be faithful to what you’ve been entrusted with?
he made up his mind
‘My weapon crushing is not something that can be mastered in about a week.’
You won’t be able to pass on the proper teaching to these two with a foolish mindset.
Even if you do your best, it’s not enough.
‘Be sure to pass it on to them!’
He looked at the two with eyes full of will and said.
“Then let’s begin!”
after a few hours like that.
“…uh?”
He couldn’t help but marvel at the sight that opened in front of him.
Apparently, just a few hours ago, he was full of thoughts to somehow make his skills understandable….
‘You already understand this?’
The reality was completely different.
His expectations were completely wrong.
“So the important thing is to center the aura? The balance of quite a few weapons cannot be perfect.”
“If you put it that way…It means that we have to analyze and break down the imbalanced places with a brief contact….”
“That’s right…?”
He looked at the two of them with a confused look on their faces.
Surprisingly, the reasoning of the two went beyond what they taught and tried to reach the ‘essence’.
“…Ho, have you ever learned about ‘weapons crushing’?”
“No.”
At those words, Daedalus’s mouth fell open.
‘I’ve never learned anything like this?’
I thought even a week was not enough time.
Weapon grinding is difficult, and of course it takes a long time to learn.
however….
“What is this….”
“It’s a bit fast, but it’s not that great, is it?”
Aileen accepted Lian’s words.
“that’s right. I didn’t understand it right away, and I didn’t understand the technology enough to use it in practice yet.”
“….”
what. In fact, the common sense I knew was not common sense.
“No, that’s great. really!”
“hmm?”
The two of them looked at him with an expression of incomprehension.
“I haven’t succeeded in applying it on the spot like anyone else, so how can that be so great?”
“no! That’s advanced technology! Usually, even if you don’t get it for a week, you have to dig for a year to get a clue!”
“…uh hmm.”
Eileen scratched her cheek with an awkward expression at those words and then glanced at Lian.
“Is it?”
“It seems so…Come to think of it, I also wondered if our standard for talent had gone wrong at some point….”
“hmm.”
To me, it seems like they are asking and answering each other very seriously, but from the listener’s point of view, my insides turned upside down.
‘What is this?’
What the hell is the ‘standard for talent’?
He cried out, unable to overcome the pouring sadness.
“No, because I was looking at someone, I think that this kind of talent is a bit outstanding!”
The two of them responded to his words with awkward expressions.
“A warrior.”
“I wonder if Mikhail would have transcended application and replaced it with magic theory…We have to work hard too, really.”
“….”
don’t push yourself
‘Dog-like omnipotence.’
Daedalus felt that he was about to burst into tears and turned his head to the sky.
* * *
Belief in non-killing.
How beautiful is this.
The magic of the 1st circle is indeed a suitable power to prove that belief.
Isn’t there a type of people in the world who argue that people won’t die if they are hit with the back of a sword?
If it’s about the 1st circle, it can be seen as a very cultured topic.
“Don’t you think so?”
“….”
Bacchus, the guild leader in < Placebo >, was literally lying on the ground with a bowl of jelly.
I tapped him with a staff member and said.
“Don’t pretend to faint.”
if you don’t want to fall behind
At my words, he flinched and raised his head with a wave.
“Who the hell are you and come to someone else’s business….”
“Business place? You spoke well.”
I smiled and grabbed his face with one hand.
When I gave it strength, the guy let out a scream.
“Go gaaaagh!”
“I kind of fucking hate that damn business. No, to the point where I want to check the heads of those who refer to this as a ‘workplace’ in the first place.”
“Are you doing this knowing who this business is under!”
The guy screamed desperately.
“I assure you, someone like you can kill mice and birds without even realizing it! How dare you…!”
“Is that so? I am this kind of person.”
I immediately released the image I had hidden in a mirage.
“…uh?”
The guy’s eyes widened.
“I can’t stand it, hero…?!”
“Yeah, what are you doing with your eyes closed? That’s what you’re looking for at a time like this. is not it?”
“Why is the hero here?!”
He tried to take a step backwards, but it was pointless.
“Okay. Why?”
I looked him straight in the eyes and muttered in a low voice.
“It seems to me that some miscellaneous things came because they were making these things. Distorting the order…This fucking ore.”
sucking people’s lives
A cursed ore that has the property of granting power to the devil, the enemy of mankind, by itself.
“I can’t tell….”
Kwajik!
“…ah my hand! Soo-on!”
“That’s not for you to judge.”
I just broke his index finger.
If you are a normal person, you may not know this guy, but he is the one who sacrificed dozens and hundreds of innocent people to the Anti-Life Stone.
There is absolutely no reason to look at the circumstances.
“Uh uh….”
The guy shuddered, his complexion bluish.
“Oh, of course, there’s still a lot left to break, so there’s no need to say it right away. What is your choice?”
“…!”
At my words, his eyes trembled unsteadily.
Roughly looking at the guy’s reaction, I felt it intuition.
This guy isn’t very venomous.
A kind of trash who has no hesitation in driving others to hell, but cannot endure even a minute of suffering towards himself.
His two eyes were filled with fear.
“If you don’t tell….”
“It’s not that I don’t say anything! That means you can’t!”
The guy screamed desperately.
“He hinted! So that if you carelessly reveal information, your head will explode before you even spit it out!”
“…Hmm.”
Well, that’s not natural.
What idiot would leave this to the underworld without any such safeguards.
Especially if that Kelli Boss is involved.
“That means you can’t divulge information with your mouth.”
“That’s right!”
Perhaps he thought he had found his way to live, he shouted with a tinge of color.
“If you need that information, we will cooperate! First of all, if you give me some time….”
“Then I can’t help it. Better to just get it out of the brain yourself. It’s definitely comfortable.”
“…yes?”
Bacchus, who was eagerly trying to shake his head, froze at my words.
“What does that mean….”
“I heard you were hinted at? My head explodes when I say it! is not it?”
“That is…!”
“therefore.”
I grabbed his head.
Realizing belatedly what I was trying to do, he struggled, but it was already too late.
“I thought it might be better to just ‘read’ it directly from your brain.”
Of course, a lot of information is lost in this process.
In other words, you can only get some of the information that was lost in the first place….
Still, it’s better than nothing.
“I refrain from useless killing, but not against trash that has no room for rehabilitation.”
“Oh no…!”
“Okay.”
Despite his resistance, magic began to manifest in my hands that held my face.
7th Circle’s Mental Magic Brain Sucker.
A bright light penetrated his head and began overloading his brain.
“Quaaaaaagh!”
The brain that couldn’t hold on burns.
As much as it burned like that, his brain started spitting out information at me.
The information that came in was fragmented and quite difficult, but it was still manageable.
and after a while
“…under.”
I swallowed the laughter that came out of me and got up.
[Mikhail what…Did you see it?]
Set asked cautiously.
I responded to her words like spitting out.
“abyss.”
