Archmage Transcending Through Regression Chapter 21

Episode 21

“Don’t doubt. Because this is really genuine.”

Saying that, Set shrugged lightly.

“Even so, I don’t have a conscience enough to give a fake to a child who has passed the 4th gate.”

“Hmm…“

Then is this real?

The ‘Storm’ we had before returning was just a fake.

That means,

from the beginning, we had false hopes for things we couldn’t use properly.

stupidly.

“Are you angry right now?”

Set tilted his head with an expression of incomprehension.

“I wouldn’t have said anything out of the ordinary. Anyway, you brilliantly found the entrance to the 4 gates and passed the ordeal to reach me.”

“Yeah, I did.”

But what do you mean?

It was only possible for me to go back in time once. Many people have been sacrificed for this.

How could there have been only the wicked among those who were sacrificed? Those who didn’t also died.

And what you got at that sacrifice is a counterfeit.

…That’s why it’s unavoidable to be a little annoyed.

“But I’m a person with feelings, so I can’t help it that I’m getting a little upset.”

“Then why are you angry? There is no reason to stop the obvious.”

Seth shrugged his shoulders as if he didn’t mind.

I asked her

“Then, was there no way to get a real ‘sacred object’ at the point of reaching the 3rd gate?”

“Not even that.”

Set spoke up.

“It’s true that I left the key at Gate 1, but I also prepared a remedy for Gate 3. If you think about it a little, you will know. But that’s it. In case you haven’t noticed…”

“You are not qualified.”

“answer.”

taste was bitter.

According to her words, we didn’t deserve it before the return.

Of course, if you regret the past, nothing comes back.

“Tsk.”

“No matter how it is, it is strange that it is given so easily even though it is a ‘new thing’. At least he and we judged it that way. That would be too….”

After saying that, she turned her gaze to the ‘Storm of the Set’ on the table.

“If this falls into the wrong hands, it will be left meaningless.”

“So you wanted to pick a prudent one? The subspace pouch was one of those means.”

“Huh, did you notice that too? You are very quick-witted.”

Only then did I understand.

We thought we had passed the ordeal, but it seems that we sewed the wrong button from the beginning.

We should have taken a more cautious and wise approach.

“Huh, isn’t that bad?”

At the time, we were not prudent enough to overcome the crisis.

As a result, many things were missed, and those things led to the Demon God’s victory.

‘Is that how it happened?’

Of course, that may not be the only cause. Many things overlap and overlap, and the future inevitably defeated must have been completed.

“Okay, I understand.”

A conversation like this is enough.

I’m sure I got ‘Storm of the Set’ as well. It is safe to say that all of the primary goals have been achieved.

“It’s yours now, wear it. Then you’ll know right away.”

anger.

When I put the set storm around my neck, it naturally permeated my skin.

“Hoo.”

“It’s not just a necklace. It is an advanced barrier that protects your soul and body.”

‘It wasn’t even armed.’

It’s not a separate form, but it’s a barrier at all.

“At least once a day, I will protect you from any attack.”

“…once?”

“Yeah once. It will depend on your capabilities, but that’s about it at this point.”

In other words, although the set storm itself is already a completed weapon, its value can change depending on the user’s capabilities.

“Not bad.”

Absolute defense once a day.

Rather than being a growth-type weapon and unable to use it properly, this one was several times better.

Moreover, since you said that it depends on your ability, you can expect growth in this as well.

“Huh, right? My god boasts a very solid defense! It’s not for nothing that it was called ‘Iron Wall’ in the old days!”

“What good. Regardless of that.”

“Isn’t that a very dry reaction?”

Set muttered something with a pouting expression, but he didn’t care.

I watched her silently.

Little by little, his whole body was fading away.

It has already faded, as if it had been drawn steadily since earlier.

“Your body seems to be disappearing.”

“Because it’s about time to go.”

She spoke in a calm voice.

“If I hand over the sacred object, I have done my duty. It has to disappear naturally, as it should have.”

“Hmm…In other words

, the time freeze that covered the entire tomb would be lifted.

“How would you feel if you had the option of not having to disappear?”

“Wouldn’t that be nice?”

She shrugged.

“I think it would be nice to see a world that has changed a little more and then confirm that this world is completely free from threats from the outside world.”

“Hmm…“

But it is impossible. In order to repair the old magic barrier, you need knowledge of the 9th circle level, but as you know…”

“Such beings are rare.”

no, it’s not that rare.

At this point, there is not a single Great Mage of the 9th Circle that is known to the public.

“Give up. If you have any sympathy for me, you don’t have to. It’s a body that should have disappeared anyway. so…”

“I understand. If that’s the case, if only magic is normalized, there’s a thought to exist more.”

“hmm?”

Set tilted his head.

Instead of answering that, he immediately began tinkering with the tomb’s time-freezing magic.

‘It doesn’t matter that mana is drawn from nearby mana stones, the important thing is the original mana circuit…’

I remembered the structure of the tomb I had seen on the way here and the structure of the 2nd and 3rd gates I had seen before returning.

After mapping all of them in my head, I redesigned the circuit based on the flow of mana.

“Hmm that’s right. does it go back that way? Certainly, this would have been the best way to hold out for a long time…”

“What are you doing?”

“What are you doing? analysis.”

The talent and knowledge required to reach the 9th Circle is beyond imagination.

A horse is a magician, but you have to master quite a bit of knowledge and concepts in the world to reach the 9th circle.

Spatial perception ability was also included in that category.

“Hmm confirmed.”

“Confirmation, can you explain it to me a bit? No matter how soon I disappear, some basic courtesy…”

“< Time Freezing Improvement Formula >.”

Before he could finish his words, Seth’s body began to be enveloped in light.

“…uh?”

The body that had been dying was restored and began to come alive.

It’s not just that.

Literally, the body, which should have only been in shape, is alive.

“Uh huh?!”

Hwaaak!

The light got brighter and brighter.

The light, which had been maintained for a long time, began to decrease gradually, and then disappeared, revealing the appearance of the set.

“Hmm good.”

The result is quite satisfactory.

Maybe it’s because of my calculations, which are always flawless.

“How are you not quite satisfied?”

[this…this….]

Set, who was looking at his arms and legs with his head down, trembled and shouted.

[What is this!]

The set was getting smaller.

Exactly the size of my palm.

“Okay, perfect.”

[Isn’t that perfect?!]

Quooooh.

The mini set roared sadly.

* * *

[…] ….]

Set was silent for a while.

“Sorry for making it small. First of all, in order to keep the time freeze as long as possible, it needed to be minimized.”

[My beautiful body….]

“There is nothing particularly beautiful…”

[Because it was beautiful?! I was proud of my skin like a small, white jade! But such short limbs…]

“It’s cute and nice.”

[How cute!]

Set burst into anger as his arms trembled.

[Even though I am, I am one of the great apostles who served the old gods. But then I…!]

“That was the only way.”

[What what…Oh no more than that!]

Set shouted at me with an expression of disbelief.

[Were you a great mage? It’s not just a great mage, it’s the 9th circle?!]

“No, it’s not like that.”

It should be someday, but not right now.

As if I couldn’t believe my answer, Set spoke gibberish.

[Mama, this is nonsense! A human child who is not from the 9th circle reconstructed the time freeze?! What is this?!]

“That’s not important.”

[Because it’s important?! This has never happened even in the distant past!]

At her words, I let out a small sigh.

What are you talking about in the yard, which has already been handed over to God? ….

“I am a genius set.”

[Uh, that’s right.]

“That’s also a genius with overwhelming talent that would make you feel sad if you were second in the world.”

[Uh uh…Yes, it definitely looks like it. So?]

“That’s the reason.”

[…] ….]

Set glared at me with cold eyes.

But what do you mean?

There is nothing wrong with being born with overwhelming talent.

Unexpectedly, talent is a good excuse to wait.

Especially when it comes to our family.

[…] …what’s up Let’s say yes. It’s not like those things didn’t exist when I lived.]

“That’s fine. Then let’s get to the real point.”

[Body?]

“Yes, the body.”

He nodded and spoke.

“What to do with this grave?”

* * *

When I came out, the fog had completely lifted.

It seems that there is no reason for the divine object to be maintained any longer at the point of finding its owner.

“I’m here!”

As soon as I came out, Lian hurriedly ran towards me.

“Hey hey. what happened?! What is the fog and why the hell did you suddenly disappear…”

“We attacked and came.”

“…huh?”

The guy with the round eyes.

“Attack? uh so…Are you saying that this dungeon has been completely attacked?”

“Oh right.”

“…Did I do nothing?”

“I did.”

At my words, Lian scratched her head.

“No, it’s a bit different from the dungeon exploration I thought of? After overcoming the crisis, the romance of blood and sweat…“

Yes, there is nothing like that.”

I have no intention of making it that way.

At my words, the boy muttered with a gloomy expression.

“Why is a romance a romance…I

left him alone and approached the butler.

“Did nothing happen to the butler?”

“None. Rather, if it’s a special thing…”

The butler’s gaze turned to my neck.

“…I think it seems to have been with the young master.”

“Of course it was. did you attack? If this isn’t a big deal, what is?”

“Well, that’s true, but…”

The butler told me with a coy smile.

“You wrote something interesting.”

“Oh see?”

“I don’t know the exact identity, but it must be a special power.”

The butler tapped my mouth.

“Oh. I didn’t see anything.”

Even so, the butler’s mouth is quite heavy, so it’s worth trusting.

So now all that’s left is….

“Follow me, Ryan. Because I have something to show you.”

“What’s so great about it?”

“Hey.”

said with a grin.

“It’s something big enough to easily revive one manor.”

‘It’s been quite a while.’

Count Parslov walked around with his arms crossed.

Some time had passed since Mikhail and his son headed to the dungeon.

It’s not that I’m not worried.

I sent it because I believed in my son’s ability, but I’m sure it won’t go wrong….

‘Maybe I just blindly believed in an outrageous proposal.’

Mikhail’s confidence.

The Count trusted his eyes to see people.

If that were the case, he might be able to clear dungeons that he hadn’t been able to clear before.

That’s what I thought.

I didn’t expect that son of a bitch to follow suit.

“It shouldn’t be anything special…How long did he wait while moving his legs in such nervousness

?

“Count!!”

The vassal came to him urgently and shouted.

“I think you should come and see! Outside right now…!”

The count tilted his head and followed him.
