Archmage Transcending Through Regression Chapter 251

The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 251,

I couldn’t understand that.

He could eat anything and digest anything.

But why

why do you have to be like this

It saw its own teeth.

His own teeth, which should have been driven into the prey and put an end to it, were meaningless now.

Rather than piercing the skin of their prey and coveting life, their own strength is increasing.

This strange and unpleasant sensation.

Yeah, at first it was just unpleasant.

However, as time passed, cold sweat broke out on its body and its body began to tremble.

What is the source of this unpleasant sensation?

‘It’ was troubled.

And soon I realized

‘fear.’

I just realized it instinctively because I didn’t have a deep intellect.

Unfamiliar feelings as a being who has never been driven out as an obvious predator.

– Ahhh….

My body trembles.

My whole body was trembling like crazy, indescribably.

fear.

Emotions that are not allowed as a predator swallow it up.

I don’t like this. I’m scared.

I want to get rid of it, I want to run away….

For the first time in its life, it was completely confused.

But no matter how much I think about it, I can’t come to a proper conclusion.

It’s just that endless fear devours it without a chance to resist.

The words of a predator who has been downgraded to prey are very obvious.

You will not be able to accept the unfamiliar situation and will settle down constantly.

but.

run away run away…

“I can’t.”

Then a voice was heard.

A familiar light was staring at him.

The red eyes glared at him without giving the slightest chance.

It was like shackles.

Complete shackles on a completely different level from the ones that are tying him down now.

It seems to fall out.

Yes, I wanted to run away from those eyes. You have to get out of it somehow right now so you can maintain yourself.

Boo obviously….

“Because I can’t.”

But it doesn’t even give that gap.

The hand that was holding him gradually gained strength. It was like a swamp, and I couldn’t see any way out.

– Ka Ugh?!

It was as if a huge harpoon had pierced my mouth.

It struggled in pain, but it was followed by a distant feeling that even that was sweet.

And I realized

can’t escape

He was destined to be absorbed by the author a long time ago.

There is no such thing as a permanent predator.

No great higher being can be on top forever.

– Ahhh….

It closed its eyes.

The force that went into the jaws of the teeth that had been driven into it slowly waned. The usual darkness slowly embraced it.

yes it’s over

The end has finally come to ‘it’ that seemed to last forever.

* * *

Analyze and improve.

This time, I decided to name the power I interpreted as ‘gluttony’.

Just like the first time I saw it.

‘Is this what Thoth was aiming for?’

Perhaps the first thing Thoth used as a teaching aid was the power of Baalzebub.

If so, it is understandable to some extent that the nature is so similar.

They wanted to use Baalzebub’s devouring power as well.

It’s definitely an attractive force.

In fact, it was extremely difficult to deal with Baalzebub, who had fully awakened before returning.

This time, it didn’t matter because he destroyed it before he properly found his true name, otherwise I would have been very wary of it.

“Anyway, damn it.”

I gritted my teeth, thinking of Thoth.

When I thought of the future where this would run out of control and create a mess, my anger came to a boil.

I should have picked up a few more.

Why do I always regret the past? It can be a very sad reality.

Whatever.

[ah….]

The exhausted set landed on my shoulder in a limp state.

It’s a natural reaction since he must have put in quite a bit of energy in the process of protecting me.

Understanding her efforts, I silently decided to lend my shoulder.

[Still, I’m glad it seems to have been easier than I thought. If we ever fail…It wasn’t that I didn’t have worries.]

“I told you. It will be fine.”

[Well, that’s what I said.]

At my words, Set let out a wry smile.

Set and Thoth told many stories.

This is because it was considered right to share a lot of information at the time when the regression was revealed.

And he was right.

That homunculus would have been difficult to deal with if Set hadn’t followed my words right away.

“If I had broken the shackles and started running amok, I’m sure it would have been, but it never happened.”

I didn’t have a way to think of it right away in the first place, but I was confident that I could overwhelm him properly, so I dealt with it.

If it wasn’t for that, I’d have kicked it out right away. There is no reason to force a game with a low win rate.

Of course I was lucky.

If he hadn’t obtained the power of extinction before reaching the homunculus, there was a high possibility that things would have gone wrong.

But it worked because I got it.

furthermore.

“Even that is why the demon was interested in me because of my rampage, so in a way, it’s not because of simple luck.”

[…] …Um?]

“It’s just like that.”

Now that Set knows that I’ve regressed, there’s no need to hide it.

Set asked me after a while.

[Come to think of it, you said that mankind couldn’t possibly use their power in the future you were originally in, right?]

“Oh, unfortunately, that was the case.”

At the library, I told Set and Thoth most of what had happened before returning.

Of course, among them, there were things about tomb raids and failures.

what’s up

It definitely didn’t work at all.

In a way, it seemed natural.

In the first place, when the Demon God descended, mankind was literally in a state of having their arms and legs cut off.

Unfavorable starting point in the first place.

The end of mankind was predestined at the point of not noticing that the great demons were infiltrating all over the world.

[Would it be different this time?]

“It will be different.”

At my words, Set looked into the air with a slightly blurry expression somewhere.

[Before that return, I couldn’t even come out of the grave and just disappeared without being able to deliver a proper spiritual thing?]

“I guess so. At the time of the attack in the first place, we did not even know that there was a proper way.”

[…] ….]

At my words, Set was silent for a moment. He just lowered his head with eyes filled with complex emotions.

[Thank you.]

“I was just doing my job. There are not a few things that would have gone wrong without you.”

[still…Thank you.]

Set once again thanked me.

[You could have hated me. I didn’t convey the proper religion, and from your point of view, you could have thought that you were deceived.]

“….”

[Tot did the same. If you really put your emotions first, you could have been really cruel.]

“It could have been.”

Maybe there was something like that. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, there is no possibility that I did that.

It could have been if it hadn’t been a little more cold-hearted and a little more prepared.

but.

“But it isn’t.”

[Yes, that’s right.]

“Results are important. I could have, but I didn’t. Not because I am particularly merciful.”

I just did it because it’s efficient.

I could have just taken over the sacred object from Set and left her to perish on the spot.

But if I did, I wouldn’t have gotten her cooperation.

Considering that there were many situations in which she was protected from the storm she caused herself, it could be said that it was a fortunate choice.

[The past that I sympathized with the Demon God can really make me angry, but really….]

“As I said.”

I have no intention of affirming Set’s past.

But apart from that, I now fully recognize her as my colleague.

Didn’t you stick together almost all day after returning?

Either way, I was helped in no small way by her.

If so, I help too.

what kind of story

“So let’s stop talking nonsense here. Because I think that is enough.”

He does not deny Set’s sins, but he is confident that he will bear with them when the time comes.

Well, that should be enough.

[Yes.]

Set made a face of disrespect, but ended up laughing anyway.

It wasn’t completely natural, but it was definitely a set I knew to some extent.

[I’ll do that.]

* * *

When I came to my senses, I was back in the wise man’s room.

But when I looked around, I wondered what to say.

“…what are you doing?”

Everyone is ready for battle.

Lian was glaring at me with eyes ready to swing a sword at the slightest hint.

“Are you Mikhail?”

“Then I am Mikhail, who am I? Where did you get hit in the head?”

“Oh, no, it’s still not enough. Say the words that will convince me that you are Mikhail!”

I wondered why he was doing this all of a sudden, but looking at the situation, I can guess.

No matter how much things happened in the image, there is no way that nothing happened in reality.

Just look around right now.

‘It’s a piece of shit.’

Although it was shabby, the neat and well-organized interior was completely ruined.

A table is scattered in the corner, and books are scattered on the floor with neatly placed bookshelves knocked over.

“Tell me quickly!”

Ryan yelled again.

Well yes I understand….

“Will my staff really understand?”

I quietly took out my staff, which had dried up Thoth’s blood.

…hmm?

It feels like the red part has become bigger, but it must be an illusion.

whatever

I’m measuring the angle with the thought of striking Lian’s head right now.

“Um, that’s right Mikhail.”

Isn’t everyone around me suddenly understanding and erasing life?

What. Why do you suddenly understand

“Hey, don’t understand. Be a little more stubborn. There is no reason why I took out the staff.”

“It’s okay, Bocchan. I was just convinced that you were the young master with that attitude.”

“What are you talking about, butler?”

“Like this dog…Hehe, no, who can create a strange atmosphere besides the young master?”

“….”

No, this old man is real.

“The strength of the bond between you and us is proving that the current boy is not dominated by a useless existence.”

“You didn’t know that I was just because I was like a dog, as always?”

“If you think so, it must be so. Isn’t that also related?”

“….”

Oh, I’ll turn, really.

Scratching his head and lowering his hand holding the staff, he saw a wise man sitting on the floor blankly staring at the ceiling.

“…Sage?”

The sage’s expression really felt like it contained nothing.

He stared blankly into space.

“I didn’t think of that.”

As I muttered, I started rubbing my hands here and there.

On the outside, the atmosphere was the same as before, but it seemed to be very different to himself.

“Even if my problem was resolved, I thought it would escalate into a bigger incident. And I thought I should pay the price for my sins.”

“Is it so?”

“I decided it was necessary. because that’s right I really thought so….”

He got up and moved around with a look of disbelief. Then he muttered again.

“…You made it really simple. Incredibly simple.”

“Actually, it wasn’t that simple of a process.”

From my point of view, it wasn’t that difficult.

Because I’ve already solved the more difficult ones.

But looking at it objectively, it was never that simple.

The things I tried in that short period of time were impossible unless I knew ‘definitely’ about the other person.

“Yes, but you…You simply did the not-so-simple thing. Things that I, the Creator, have not dared to solve for a long time.”

“What is that….”

At that moment, two streams of tears flowed from the sage’s eyes.

It was so sudden that he didn’t even realize it.

“iced coffee.”

He blankly wiped his face, checking the tears, then smiled.

He repeated them as if he were regaining what had been lost.

It still looked a little unnatural, but it got better little by little.

and.

“That count and wise Herma.”

He posed respectfully to me and bowed his head quietly.

“I swear to the great warrior that I will never forget this favor.”

What can I say about the appearance of a homunculus born at the hands of an old apostle who suddenly realized his feelings and said thanks with shining eyes.

It was really bizarre.
