Archmage Transcending Through Regression Chapter 197

The Grand Mage who transcends by returning Episode 197 The

family of the Marquis Kellibos.

As befits the 4th great family of the empire, the mansion of the marquis was truly splendid.

It is like a national achievement.

No, considering the prosperity of the imperial family, there would be nothing very strange even if it was a kingdom.

and the owner of the family.

Marquis Kelibos was facing the basement of the mansion.

If you are not a ‘chosen one’, even a member of the family cannot reach it.

Passing through dozens of layers of barriers, the Marquis descended endlessly.

As we descended, thick fog began to surround us.

And after going down for a while, the Marquis reached the bottom and raised his head.

A face, thinner than before, emerged from the darkness.

“Capra.”

“Nice to meet you, sir.”

At that moment, someone slowly walked out of nowhere through the fog.

It had the body of a human and the face of a goat, dressed in a neat tailcoat. The face of a beast and the body of a human….

There was an indescribable sense of alienation and discomfort from it.

The Marquis was like that at first too.

But human beings somehow adapt to reality.

There was not the slightest excitement in his eyes when he looked at the devil.

Just ask what you need.

“So how is the progress?”

“It’s the same as always. Well, if His Excellency offered a ‘sacrifice’, the story might be different.]

“Isn’t even that enough?”

The Marquis, who had been walking through the fog for a long time, suddenly stopped and asked.

“My support has never been small. How much money was spent preparing them.”

“Isn’t that a human standard? It was not a sufficient resource for ‘us’.”

“Sounds not even funny….”

The Marquis snorted.

The types of ‘sacrifices’ they requested were diverse and the amount was enormous.

He was also supporting because it was something that had to be done.

“Are you guys really using what I sent for research?”

“Of course,”

Capra grinned.

“What kind of person is His Excellency, and can we lie to him? Whooping, isn’t that just absurd?」

“….”

The Marquis quietly glared at him.

What stood on his wrinkled face was a deep obsession.

There is a purpose beyond this that he can never give up.

“…A little further.”

The fog lifted and I slowly began to see my surroundings properly.

Transparent coffins were scattered throughout, and unknown creatures were floating in the coffins.

The creatures were twisted.

Some bodies were so entangled that you couldn’t tell the difference between your arms and legs, while others had large eyes that took up most of your body.

Really, everything was just awful.

However, among those coffins, there was one that was particularly large and brightly glowing….

The Marquis approached the coffin.

“…iced coffee.”

He gazed at the coffin with an enraptured expression and slowly swept the coffin.

Capra told him that.

“A devil never breaks a promise, sir. Besides, Your Excellency’s promise was made by our monarch.”

“Yes, that’s right….”

The Marquis continued talking without taking his eyes off the coffin.

“promise. Your lord made a promise to me. I will definitely keep it.”

“Yes,”

Capra replied.

Yes the devil keeps his promise.

Either way, the Marquis’ earnest wish will come true as surely as the sacrifice he made.

“It should pay off soon.”

「Whoops, of course.」

Ah, of course.

‘Although the achievement of that longing won’t be the direction you want.’

Capra laughed quietly without revealing his thoughts.

Tung.

The glass tube in the center shook for a while, emitting a strange light.

* * *

“It’s the Marquis of Kellibos….”

Even Lian, who must have adapted to my way of doing things to some extent, had a puzzled look on her face.

“…No, isn’t this just about charging into enemy lines?”

“I guess so.”

“If it’s nothing else, but if it’s the Marquis’s territory, will there be an incomparable amount of pressure?”

“That would be too.”

“If Kellibos really says demons are involved, aren’t there a lot of demons lurking there too?”

“of course.”

At my words, Lian quietly looked at the butler.

At the same time, the butler faces such a guy as if he was squeezed.

The two nodded their heads with determined expressions.

“Let’s do our best. old man!”

“Even Confucius Heo!”

Maybe some kind of strange friendship has sprouted between the two while I haven’t seen them.

Well, it’s already been over 2 years since we went together, but it’s worth it.

[Looking at the cancer alone, it seems like they got along because of someone….]

‘It’s an illusion.’

Because of whom….

that’s too much If someone hears it, they will misunderstand that the reason for the agreement is because of me.

It’s really unfortunate.

The important thing is that the group’s motivation is better than expected.

There must have been a time when I was not okay, but this case is a little different.

It is difficult to achieve success without the will.

furthermore.

‘This work is personal.’

No matter how many different reasons, the end result is the same.

If I were to ask which of the duties as a hero and personal emotions were the most important in this case….

Yes, this time it’s the latter.

It cannot be said that it moves purely with emotions, but it is clear that this trip to Kelibos is a little different from my original plan.

Originally, I wouldn’t do such a thing.

Somehow, it felt like he needed to know something in the Marquis of Kelibos.

As with any intuition, I don’t know exactly why.

So, in a way, these four who accompany me now suit my compulsion.

I told four

“I’ll tell you just in case, but this time a little bit of my personal circumstances are mixed in. therefore….”

“Don’t say things that don’t suit you because you’re going to get hives.”

Eileen laughed.

“Are you going anyway?”

“That’s right.”

“Then what are you going for? It’s funny that we’ve come all this way, but we’re going separately for personal business.”

Eileen’s words were clear.

It was an answer that made me think of many things when I thought of the first reunion with her right after the return.

“You’ve grown, Eileen….”

“What are you talking about? suddenly!”

Eileen’s face flushed bright red and she waved her hand.

“I used to be like this…!”

“No, not that.”

“I don’t think so.”

The butler and Lian answered firmly at the same time.

Recently, the two of them have a really strangely similar opinion.

“Ugh….”

Eileen was about to say something with a teary face, but eventually lowered her head.

“Anyway, how about Ariandel? I guess this….”

“It’s a family related to the devil, isn’t it?”

“That’s right.”

I am 100% sure of this.

The certainty that behind Kellibos is not just a demon level, but an archetype.

“Then, no matter what Mikhail thinks, this is the duty of a warrior. Of course, breaking the heads of those involved is also my role as a saint.”

“I don’t think that’s something to say with such a bright smile.”

“What are you talking about? Don’t fool yourself, Mikhail.”

Ariandel spoke kindly.

“Are you laughing?”

“…hmm.”

I had the feeling that this person had relieved some of the burden on my heart because of the last incident….

‘Is this okay?’

Let’s say something good is good.

It is a clear fact that Ariandel broke the devil’s head even before returning.

There’s nothing wrong with breaking the devil’s head.

Originally, if there is a saint like this, there will also be a saint like that.

Perhaps we are trapped in the framework of common sense and fail to see what is so obvious.

“Then it’s decided.”

If everyone has decided to go together, there is no reason to hesitate.

“Let’s go to the Marquis of Kellibos.”

* * *

“…hmm.”

I never get tired of looking at the starlight.

Because there’s nothing like the night sky to organize your thoughts.

It’s like having a bad relationship with Kelibos.

What the hell is this unidentifiable awkwardness….

Either way.

[You seem worried a lot?]

“Well, just.”

What Kelibos did.

Malien is…You won’t have to worry about anything anymore.

It will take time, but somehow they will develop in the right direction for themselves.

There is just something that takes.

The anti-life stone, or the absurd things Daedalus said Kellibos is attempting….

‘What the hell are they doing?’

or related to drinking.

Maybe the demons borrowed the power of Kellibos to create something that shouldn’t exist.

“Isn’t Advent the only way for Set Demon to affect the world?”

[that….]

Set frowned.

[It is not that there is no other way. If you have a body that can handle the demon, even for a moment, it might have some effect.]

“…Hmm.”

At least, before the return, the Demon God had never intervened in the world in that way.

That’s an obvious fact….

But don’t know.

So many things have changed now that even I can’t predict what will happen.

A body that can handle the demons….

[Of course, he has no reason to do that. It’s almost impossible to find a body that can handle it, and even if you intervene like that, you can’t even use the authority?]

“…hmm.”

[That is an act of reducing oneself from a god to a mortal. There’s no way a person with strong pride as a god would make such a choice.]

That’s right.

The memories I glimpsed for a moment or the existence of the ‘demon god’ I saw before returning were exactly what Set had said.

surely…He tended to cling to the absolute being of ‘God’.

But there is no such thing as ‘never’.

It is unlikely that the existence of a demon god will suddenly intervene on a whim.

He already had a precedent of trying to intervene with me using the power of Nephthys once before.

[I am of the position that there is no reason for a demon to make such a choice, but…As you know, Advent is already scheduled.]

“That’s right.”

[There’s no way that person who was obsessed with purity or something like that would go so far as to destroy my purity. Especially for a divine being of that level.]

Seth’s words were reasonable.

Moreover, demons who fanatically worship such demons’ thoughts would not dare to make such a choice.

If so, what is it for?

If the demons are pushing ahead with the power of Kellibos….

“…In the end, it must be a problem that can be solved by checking it yourself.”

You will have to prepare well in many ways.

This matter probably won’t be solved by just bumping into it.

To keep Kelliboss from escaping.

A tight leash is required.

For that….

“Are you unable to sleep?”

Then a voice was heard from behind.

was a butler

As always, the atmosphere is so relaxing with your hands behind your back.

“What is this all of a sudden?”

“Isn’t it me who has been helping the young master since childhood? I vaguely remember. I remember that when the Marquis was here, she didn’t like the night that much.”

“…what that is.”

It reminded me of my childhood for a moment.

I don’t have many memories with my mother.

Because he died when I was very young.

just what i remember

It was the tears of his father he had seen for the first time and the gloomy atmosphere of a family that had been rigid for a long time.

It may be just an excuse, though.

It seemed that the memory of that day had changed a lot.

“He was a good man.”

“It did.”

I remember my mother laughing a lot.

I really liked my mother’s smile.

So I also laughed often.

When I was young, I didn’t like the night sky, but my mother quite liked it.

It is clear that I have a special appreciation for the night sky like this because I have a lot of memories with my colleagues before returning, but the starting point is….

It must have been her mother’s death.

“Looking at the night sky makes me quite sentimental. Well, he’s a young boy who went through a dark evolution.”

“Dark evolution is too much.”

What kind of expression is that?

…whatever

“By the way, butler.”

“You say yes.”

This is a question I wanted to ask before.

But I unknowingly avoided it.

And I didn’t want to know, and I thought it wouldn’t be pleasant to find out.

no, actually it will.

but.
