The Grand Mage who transcends by returning Chapter 253
Under the white sun.
There was a pure white temple.
Pillars rising high into the sky support the huge ceiling, and beautiful spheres of light float here and there.
and its center.
A round table was placed on a huge pillar of light that stretched towards the sky.
The round table emits a mysterious light.
The first round table known to be made from the minerals of a god that disappeared from this world
a long time ago .
The 13 seats on the round table were empty for a long time.
It has to be.
After the death of the owner of this huge temple a long time ago, the 13 apostles were deprived of the right to sit at the round table.
But now.
After countless hours, six of the thirteen seats returned.
The six apostles captured by Mikhail.
The seat where they once sat is dyed in each color and begins to radiate its presence.
“…Huh.”
The first to speak was the supreme dragon Apophis.
He had responded to the Round Table’s call in human form, but he was looking around with emotion.
“I never thought I would see this place again….”
“Oh, isn’t that Apophis?”
Root, who saw Apophis, approached him as if he was happy. Apophis’ expression also brightened.
Isn’t it a colleague I haven’t seen in a long time.
Of course I can’t help but be happy….
“…huh?”
Apophis’s expression immediately changed to a strange one.
It’s because the appearance of the route is a little different from what I thought.
Behind her head, a holy light shone that looked artificial to anyone.
Besides, isn’t it that she is adorning her whole body with clothes that look unnecessarily holy?
Apophis asked with a trembling voice involuntarily.
“Lou Root, what happened?”
“What’s going on? Hehe, nothing big happened to this body.”
“This body…?”
no it’s weird
The apostle named Root in his memory was definitely a bit harsh, but he had a deep affection.
At least he wasn’t the one who used that weird tone of voice?
Apophis lost his composure and shouted, clutching Root’s shoulder.
“What happened to Root! Surely you are strange now! Like the way you talk, what about that bizarre outfit!”
“Oh, is that what you mean?”
Root said with a benevolent smile.
“I decided to become a god, but I guess that’s why.”
“…?!”
god? Are you saying that what you heard right now?
I looked at the route with cold eyes because it was so absurd, but….
“Believe it.”
They just stick to the concept while making some bizarre noises.
The mind becomes confused.
Apophis tried to catch his spirit and looked elsewhere.
‘Yes, many years have passed.’
it could be.
Well, the others were quite subjective, so nothing much has changed.
Thinking so….
“It’s been a while, Apophis.”
“Oh Anubis!”
I turned my head in the direction I heard the voice I missed.
At the end of the line of sight, the judge of faith who fought for the noble will of Asar….
“Huh, how have you been?”
“….”
But there was just a dog.
Even that cuteness!
The ornament with the name ‘Kkomuli’ engraved on the neck is impressive.
‘What.’
Maybe I’m behind the times
Apophis scratched his head.
I couldn’t keep up with the changes in front of my eyes, so I was staring into the air for a while when I heard Set’s voice from the side.
“I’m sorry our Mikhail….”
With a very sad expression, Set looked at the two transformed apostles.
The two apostles who went too far.
I don’t even have to think deeply about who made a huge contribution to that situation.
Mikhail Walpurgis.
Set closed his eyes, feeling responsible.
One is a pseudo cult, and the other is a pet dog….
It is truly a sin.
“…hmm.”
Apophis, roughly guessing what was going on, nodded quietly.
Well, it can be.
If it was that warrior, it could be enough.
It was to the extent that I was scared to understand myself easily, but what can I do? ….
I glanced at Nephthys.
“Ah ah….”
She, too, was nodding her head with similar eyes.
In any case, it was a reunion that took place after a long time.
By the time we check each other and fall into a strange longing for a while….
“Come. Damn you bastards.”
A voice full of dissatisfaction was heard in everyone’s ears.
In the direction from which the voice was heard, there was a seed who was casually rolling around on the round table.
Tote.
A victim who was forcibly appointed as the manager of ‘Round Table’ a few days ago.
Apophis greeted him.
“Long live Thoth.”
“Yeah fuck me.”
Sado’s anger at being forced to shoulder the burden of being a leader in group assignments was as expected.
Thoth, who carefully presented the middle finger to the five apostles, grumbled.
“Damn them. People don’t want to do it and leave it to others.”
“Isn’t it nice to meet you, Thoth? It’s been a long time since we….”
“Wouldn’t it be nice to see the back of my head beaten before we even met?”
“Maybe.”
“…Damn you guys.”
Thoth grumbled, but said no more.
It was because he knew very well that at this point, he was the only one qualified for the position of ‘manager’.
The resurrected Round Table.
You know best how important the Round Table is and how much it means.
“What good.”
So, the annoyance ends here.
There are many things you can do now.
The most important thing is that the channels of communication between the apostles have been opened.
“With the advent of the unexpected variable named Mikhail, there is a lot of hope.”
Originally, the world was slowly being destroyed by demons….
The world is now beginning to balance itself again.
“Then what we have to do is to roll that hope somehow.”
“First of all, thanks to the revival of the Round Table, our range of motion has increased. It seems like the top priority is to increase the range of the Holy Land right now.”
“Yeah, there is that too….”
Anubis’s words were the most basic and, at the same time, the most efficient method at this point.
Enlarging the area of the Holy Land means that the demons can move in less range.
“That’s something you guys have to figure out anyway, right?”
“That’s right.”
Nephthys nodded.
Certainly these are not Thoth’s words, but they are all things to do.
“First of all, I didn’t call you to talk about such a simple thing today.”
“then….”
“There is one thing that worries me.”
Thoth sighed and looked around at the apostles.
Maybe what I’m going to say from now on could be a little sensitive.
“You will also remember. In the Age of Mythology, when the conflict between him and the Demon God intensified….”
he spoke slowly.
“There was a traitor.”
“…!”
At that moment, the faces of all the apostles who heard Thoth’s words hardened.
Because even they couldn’t downplay the existence of that ‘traitor’.
“…Solomon.”
Apophis spoke the name with a dark expression.
yes i know
everyone remembers him
– You should have trusted me!
The desperate screams of that day are embedded in the mind and do not disappear.
“Why did he suddenly….”
“Walpurgis.”
“Walpurgis is a family of warriors who have passed the ordeal.”
“okay.”
Thoth continued.
“Maybe he has something to do with Walpurgis.”
“…!”
All at once, the eyes of the apostles opened wide.
* * *
A few days later.
< Book Hill > was enveloped in unprecedented excitement.
The door to the library, which had been firmly closed until now, opened in front of everyone.
“Oh oh oh…!”
All the scholars of < The Hill of Books > jumped toward the library in unison, unable to contain their emotions.
Truly a moment of joy.
“…Well, I never thought I would see the library open like this while I was there.”
The sage Herma said that with an expression of fresh feeling.
Until now, he had diligently wandered around < The Hill of Books >, concentrating on sorting out the situation.
This is because the library, which everyone had been longing for, was opened and the work he had to handle increased rapidly.
Since he is a homunculus, he has no family members to help him.
The confusion had no choice but to be his share.
“Thank you, warrior. I’ve already received grace, but I didn’t expect you to help me with this work….”
“It doesn’t matter. Speaking of that ‘grace’, I also gained something, so there’s no need to feel burdened.”
Of course, no matter how special a homunculus is, there are limits.
He couldn’t handle the sudden increase in work alone, so I also rushed into the ‘work’.
…There really was no war.
I did it somehow.
“How are you? The feeling of regaining emotions at the end of those long years….”
“It’s complicated. It was the first time I knew that emotions could be so difficult to deal with.”
Herma said with a wry smile.
Still, his expression felt a bit awkward.
No wonder.
Emotions that had been blunted for a long time suddenly returned.
You can’t get used to it so easily in a few days.
“The body…What will you grow in the future? At this point, it feels strange to think of starting anew from childhood.”
“That will be fine too. Growing like that is one of the rights of life.”
“That’s right.”
Herma nodded.
He blankly stared at the busy library.
“To be honest, we don’t need ‘sages’ here anymore.”
“….”
“The scholars here are wise. They know how to draw their own conclusions and are good at reconciling opinions through discussions with each other.”
Well, it will.
Many schools of madness were born, but there are more normal scholars than that.
The strange condition of < The Hill of Books > is due to Thoth, who subtly encouraged the madness of scholars.
But now, even Thoth stopped doing that.
The scholars of < The Hill of Books > will now find their place somehow and will think about the future more seriously.
“no way…Are you thinking of leaving < Book Hill >?”
“Yes, now I have finally found my life, free from the demon that was eating me.”
Herma’s eyes were shining like a child waiting for tomorrow.
“That means I now have the right to see and experience what I want.”
“Well, that’s right.”
“Of course, we recognize that the current situation in the world is precarious. Of course, you can’t just travel comfortably.”
“…That is also true.”
The coming of the Demon God is now approaching.
Of course, he can’t just sit still.
The wise man was clearly aware of the reality apart from his excitement.
“That’s why I’m thinking of writing a ‘record’ by changing my thinking a bit.”
“If it’s a record….”
“Surely, this time will be a big crisis for the world. Wouldn’t someone have to record every dangerous moment?”
Even if it’s a dangerous place, I don’t mind.
Herma is now free.
And he seems to be thinking of using that ‘freedom’ in the most appropriate way from his point of view.
“It won’t be bad.”
“Yes, I think this time I will be able to feel a sense of fulfillment.”
Saying that, the sage clenched his small fist tightly.
The years that hung over his youthful face were indescribably long, but….
what will be fine
Then the sage asked.
“Come to think of it, what is the hero planning to do now?”
“Hmm well.”
I was really diligent.
The number of great demons has been considerably reduced, and most of the problems of former colleagues have been resolved.
But there is still a long way to go.
“first….”
That’s when I was about to tell the wise man about my ‘next plan’.
Ugh.
Could it be that the staff he was holding suddenly began to tremble slowly?
“…huh?”
Then, a bloody red aura began to rise from the red part of the staff.
What.
Why is this kind of energy suddenly flowing from my sacred and righteous staff?
“What the hell is this….”
In a sudden situation, the wise man tilted his head and looked at my staff.
and that moment.
– Power…do you want
oh shit it’s a surprise
