Archmage Transcending Through Regression Chapter 295

The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 295

“We!”

“I will continue to protect this land!”

The twins took turns talking.

After the conversation with Asar, the two of them, who had found some control, showed no more hesitation.

“Since we clearly understand that he has arrived, we should prepare as well! I also confirmed that our seats were prepared at the round table!”

“I have to do something! We will have to reorganize this area again!”

It’s good that you seem motivated enough.

I’ll take care of it.

Although they were swayed by my hands in the first place, these two are apostles.

Unlike its simple appearance, it is filled with experience and wisdom accumulated over many years.

“Since the owner of the sacred object has been chosen, there is no need to hide the tomb, right? then….”

“Yep! I’m going to make this area a sacred place once again! Anything is possible because there is soil!”

A land imbued with the energy of Asar.

The larger the area, the better.

It’s because the percentage of land that can suppress the power of demons increases.

More than the demon god descended.

It’s best to erase as many advantages as possible before he shows up in earnest.

“let’s work hard.”

“Yes, I will work hard!”

“Like an ant!”

Showing enthusiasm makes me feel good too.

Looking at the two of them, I smiled gently and handed over the contract.

“Okay then sign it.”

“…huh?”

At my words, the two of them trembled and averted their gaze.

“Ah ah…We’ll do our best anyway, but it’s a bit hard to tie us up with something hard like a contract….”

“Yes! You’re a warrior! If you are a hero, of course you must believe in the good heart of life! Besides, we are the apostles!”

“Can’t an apostle make a contract?”

“Yes…?”

At my words, the twins’ eyes widened anxiously.

I pretended not to care and asked lightly.

“A contract is possible, right?”

The two of them looked at the contract in my hand, then argued and listened.

“You gave me poetry! Besides, why are you doing this when you took the work we made!”

“Ah, so even though the Demon God descended, he couldn’t manage the Holy Land? Huh, even Asar himself asked for it?”

“Not like that!”

The twins shouted as they kicked off the game.

When the word ‘Asar’ comes out, of course you can’t back down.

“Then you can do it. Even if it’s a contract, there’s nothing unfavorable to you guys, right?”

“…Ugh.”

“You just have to become an ant. Ants making a sanctuary. how nice Ants working hard….”

At my words, the twins’ facial expressions became sullen at the same time, and they looked at the contents of the contract with an expression as if the sky had collapsed.

After that, isn’t the complexion getting tired of being blue?

“…Wait a minute, you want to reorganize the entire area within the next week and make it a perfect sacred site?”

“you can do it!”

“Besides, you have to set up a barrier?! A top-notch barrier that can suppress even the greatest demons in this area?!”

“you can do it!”

“I can’t! I can’t! How are you supposed to do this?!”

“Two can do it!”

“Aaaagh!”

There is nothing impossible in this world.

I believe the twins can do even the ‘impossible’.

– Looking at it like this, it looks a little like child abuse….

oh no that’s not what i’m saying

Pretending not to hear what Weiss was saying next to me, I received the contract signed by the twins.

“What is the price…Let’s make it simple enough to reward mana. Anyway, if I leave the mana overflowing in this area, it will be useless.”

“…Are you just asking for mana?”

“You can look at it that way, but it’s not just the content that hurts you guys, right?”

I said that and pointed to the other side of the contract.

“Here, I wrote down the reward when you faithfully fulfill the contract like that.”

“If it’s a reward….”

“freedom…?”

The twins tilted their heads.

“But are we already extinct a long time ago? Due to Asar-sama’s response, somehow it still remains…”

“That I do somehow.”

I have something in mind.

The ‘freedom’ referred to here does not simply exist through the medium of me, like Set.

complete freedom.

It means that the apostle will be given the right to live freely again.

Even if I can’t wield the power I received from the gods like in the past, I will be able to live each day in a peaceful world one day.

“Uh um…. okay?”

“It’s mean and radical, but it’s a challenge…No, because I know that successful applicants aren’t the type to lie even when they say things like this.”

The two said that and nodded.

Well, if you do this, you’ll be able to give both of them a firm purpose, so that’s good.

As a bonus, if these two give you an extra source of mana, that’s a good thing.

“What are the successful candidates going to do?”

“What to do? go to the next grave I also stop by other necessary places at once.”

When I thought of the old people in the Mage Tower before returning, my face naturally frowned.

I don’t want to go there unless the situation is urgent.

what can i do

Circumstances have changed and it has become necessary.

– So, what is the ‘needed place’?

“There is a sanatorium for wizards called the Magic Tower.”

There was a time when it was once the basis of continental magic and was praised as a great cradle.

producing great wizards.

It once made a name for itself as an educational institution that taught young wizards and raised countless wizards.

But not anymore.

Now, it has become a land that has only become a refuge for old wizards who have been pushed back by the times.

okay.

A gathering of excessively stagnant water.

That is the current Mage Tower.

* * *

Cleared up the situation to some extent.

With Belphegor’s invasion and disappearance this time, it became clear that the Demon God had already entered the world.

After that, I heard from the apostles who returned to their respective graves that there was nothing special.

Additionally, there was no sign of intrusion from the outside, and the barrier was briefly shaken, but that was it.

but….

– For a while, I could see something intrusive in ‘My Record’.

According to Thoth, nothing seems to have happened.

The ‘record’ that Thoth spoke of is the record Thoth carved before returning….

He said that he had a feeling that something was spying on him, so it was probably the devil’s involvement.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that the things I need to do right now change drastically, though.

My top priority is still to gather all the gods and complete the round table.

“…Goodbye.”

“It’s like a harsh passer.”

The twins saw me off with their mouths full.

Of course, it wasn’t my boss.

haha.

In any case, the destination is the Magic Tower.

Although it has fallen in one way or another, the Mage Tower is a Mage Tower.

The downfall also means that it was pushed back by the impregnable castle of Walpurgis.

‘Before the return, the Mage Tower collapsed so quietly that I have nothing to say.’

It really just collapsed quietly without any obvious resistance.

It’s not strange.

The Mage Tower was in an extremely deceased state, and after experiencing ‘some kind of’ incident, its closedness became even more intense.

There are two main reasons I haven’t visited the Mage Tower so far.

Asmodeus, the main culprit who destroyed the first Mage Tower, was destroyed by me in the beginning.

The second time, if I tried to touch it when I was not ready, it would only be like touching a beehive.

At least I, ‘Walpurgis’, shouldn’t touch the Magic Tower without much preparation.

That would be too….

‘Because the current Mage Tower is quite wary of our family.’

A group that was originally number one was pushed out to number two.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that the Mage Tower has become ugly at all.

It’s just that I’ve become a bit more eccentric and self-righteous.

It may need to be changed, but should I say that there is no need to ‘break’ it?

The Mage Tower and our family have different directions for magic.

In my family’s case, ‘enlightenment’ about magic itself is considered to be the top priority of magic.

On the other hand, the Mage Tower believes that even that ‘enlightenment’ is born from a completed theory.

Which came first the chicken or the egg?

It’s roughly like that, but this is also an important issue for wizards.

Anyway, because the direction is different, the Mage Tower doesn’t like ‘Walpurgis’ that much.

Even though the purpose is the same in terms of ‘high level’, the method is different.

It would be nice to see it as an antagonist.

Therefore, if it was me in the past, even if I went to the Magic Tower, I would never have been welcomed.

Because he is a direct descendant of Walpurgis.

Of course, isn’t it the essence of the theory that they consider ‘apostle’?

But now I am different.

What’s the difference?

That’s right, now I’m a ‘Hero’ and at the same time a great mage of the ‘8th Circle’.

In the Magic Tower, as a warrior before Walpurgis, it is the teaching material itself that opened a ‘new horizon’ of the fusion of divine power and mana.

[…] …Isn’t it just a test subject?]

“Originally, this floor is a bit like that.”

But what?

Most of the races of wizards are mostly seeds that have gone bad in one place.

Even the Mage Tower is a group made up of such wizards, so its eccentricity is multiplied.

“It would have been nice if the butler had also come with the Magic Tower since there were a lot of times when he was young…What happened in the past?”

[what…It’s your plan to deal with the problem of the tomb and the mage tower at once, excluding the ones with the enemy’s standards that are a little strange.]

“That’s right.”

[‘All at once’ is a situation where the magic tower is directly related to the tomb, right?]

Set’s guess was sharp.

Because that’s actually true.

It wasn’t just that the tomb and the mage tower were close by.

“What is it?”

As I just said, the Mage’s Tower worships thoroughly completed ‘theories’.

And for that, I collected and studied a lot of things.

That’s when I found it.

A ‘grave’ that might contain a lot of ancient knowledge.

[…] …What does that mean?]

“This grave is a bit unusual. It’s not a huge building, and it’s not a space that moves like Anubis. This grave….”

I said, searching for memories.

“It’s a magic tool.”

To be precise, it is a magic tool in the form of an ashes.

[Mmm….]

Of course, Set would know.

Doesn’t it make sense that as an apostle he didn’t know about the tomb in the first place?

Anyway.

This ‘tomb’ was more like a magic tool in the form of an ashes.

But if there is something different from normal magic tools….

“They say that an apostle has been given a restraining order….”

[…] …I think I know what it is.]

Set nodded with a wry smile.

Yes, if you’ve heard this far, you’ve probably got a sense, but this ‘tomb’ flowed into the owner of the mage tower at the time.

Even among so many elder mages, the great mage who is rumored to be particularly stubborn….

Finding this tomb is also treated as part of the ‘trial’.

And if you find it, that’s when the real ordeal begins.

Then what is the ordeal?

…Well, no matter how much I didn’t hit it myself, I heard something about it.

what did he say

There was something the Magic Tower Master said.

…okay.

– No, a graduate student at this age! What are you talking about!

It’s like something I said before.

It is said that in a certain land, certain apprentice wizards were called ‘graduate students’ and made them shoulder their bridle.

in short.

“…hmm.”

It is said that this ordeal turns the challenger into a ‘graduate student’.

* * *

– Can’t get enough of this? under! That’s ridiculous! This is something you’ll understand if you understand the simple mana arrangement! Where are the knotholes in your eyes? Doesn’t it look like your age has been eaten down the back hole?

“….”

– This thesis is also garbage!

With those words, something whitish attached to the old man tore the thick paper in front of his eyes.

Seeing this, the old man quietly covered his face with his palms and began to sob.

“Uh uh huh….”

– Does your college life end if you cry? no it never ends! You told me you would challenge the trials, and I’m just passing the trials rightfully! Just pass through and you will be rewarded with infinite enlightenment!

“You won’t let me through!”

The old man roared and shouted.

“Aleister, the owner of the Tower of Magic, has acquired a lot of knowledge and created a lot of theories! I could be wrong…!”

– Yes!

“Cheer cuckoo!”

With those words, the strange shape struck the old man, or the head of the Mage Tower, Aleister.

– Where is the blood on the head discussing knowledge and discussing the truth!

“Oh no….”

– If you have the spirit to be so stubborn, think about how to write your next thesis! At this rate, you won’t pass the ordeal until you enter the coffin!

At those words, Aleister’s complexion turned blue.

It was good when I got my hands on a rare ancient magic tool.

Even more so when I found out that there would be a lot of knowledge that I didn’t know so far!

However, when he opened the magic tool, he tasted despair….

What was sealed in the magic tool was not ancient knowledge or a great soul.

It was an evil spirit that was just stubborn and endlessly forced to ‘enlightenment’.

said the demon.

Until he brings out the ‘enlightenment’ he wants, he will never be free.

The history of the countless research papers written by the master in the past flowed in the mind of the owner of the tower.

I thought I was going to get out of here….

“Please….”

An old man in his eighties looked up at the ceiling with tears streaming down his face.
