The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 362
Battle against monsters.
Those who stood at the forefront completed all preparations with desperate determination.
It’s not just the empire.
The same goes for many other small kingdoms, including the Church.
The entire continent was united around the name ‘Hero’.
You never know what will happen when this moment passes.
But at this moment, what is important is that the continent has come together with one heart and one mind.
Most people don’t know, but in the past, there is a precedent in which the entire continent was destroyed because it couldn’t ‘unite’.
The effect was clear.
Besides, the entire continent is no longer the devil’s land.
They are thoroughly ‘uninvited guests’ from the outside, and they have to take a considerable risk just by standing on this land.
However, demons did not stand still.
It is true that he took a considerable risk and caused a lot of damage, but….
– Does not matter.
The demons were endless beyond that.
Until the Demon God collapses, the demons also do not collapse.
It was never an exaggeration.
two devils.
Although the Hero annihilated most of the Great Demons, it seemed like nothing, but the Great Devil itself was the culprit that brought the world into crisis.
Hundreds of soldiers had to be prepared for sacrifice just for the presence of a higher level demon.
But what if the top demon pours in dozens?
It’s hell.
The reason why the wire has not collapsed yet is simple.
It is because the apostles and various masters who were freed by the hero generously poured their all into it.
「Ha.」
Enoch, the great devil, looked down with eyes full of ridicule.
“That’s…Great Devil….”
“What is this….”
Hundreds and thousands of humans are looking at themselves with fearful eyes.
Feeling the emotions in those eyes, I was able to realize that Enoch was alive.
‘Yes, this is it!’
Originally, he was a being who had to reign as ‘fear’ in an overwhelming position while receiving such gaze.
This is normal.
The situation so far has been abnormal. What the hell was that warrior saying?
‘Damn it.’
I still shudder when I think of that cursed top.
How on earth could he stand up to a great god on an equal footing?
That’s just human!
Enoch recalled that point, and soon a smile crept across his lips.
That would be too.
‘Now that person is gone.’
God told me to deal with him with my own hands.
Enoch hadn’t even thought that his god would be defeated by that abomination.
It just takes time.
His job is to trample humanity before he seizes victory over him.
– Aaaaaa!
With a roar, the whole land trembled at Enoch’s power.
yes this is it!
A reality that I wished for many times and should have taken for granted!
His pride as a monarch rose again.
Enoch thought so and now opened his mouth to use his power to trample the humans below.
His body is a dragon.
Originally the lord of the demon sea and the one who spreads the darkness of the great sea.
An overwhelming force began to gather in its mouth. Now he has the sea behind him.
I will break down the boundary between land and sea and flood the whole area.
It was the moment when he was about to break the ground with that thought.
Hoo-wook.
At that moment, Enoch trembled without realizing it. Something hopelessly familiar.
Warrior?
No, something is different with him.
If he felt like some kind of unrefined natural disaster, now this is….
‘No, lower than that.’
However, that ‘low’ is also the standard of a hero.
This….
“Don’t do this…!」
Enoch trembled, shaking his triangular pupils.
To him, a warrior is a symbol of fear.
That’s why I only saw warriors.
Except for the hero, there is no threat at all. There is no way.
but.
“You were there too.”
“…!」
I heard a voice as if it were natural.
If the reason for that voice is familiar, there must be only one after all.
“Are you also a companion of that heinous hero…!”
“Enoch.”
“It’s Leviathan!”
“No, he said it was Enoch.”
Along with those words, the female knight surrounded herself with thin blades like whips.
Eileen Lindell.
The princess of the Duke of Lindell’s family, and a knight who has been crushing demons along with him as a companion of the hero.
It wasn’t just her.
Eliminating the Prime Evil is a priority right now.
Of course, this is because Mikhail had spoken to the strong people around him before heading to the Demon God.
“Hey, is that Enoch?”
The Condor mercenary leader, Mylus, appeared carrying a huge club.
He was once betrayed by his younger brother due to Enoch’s conspiracy and despaired.
However, with Mikhail’s help, he succeeded in getting back on his feet and he is now here….
“uh….”
Eileen looked at him and said with a subtle expression.
“Sir Mylus? It’s a bit presumptuous, but didn’t you use a sword?”
“You changed jobs.”
“…Your former job?”
“Yes, as a result of accepting the advice of the hero, I learned that only the sword is not the answer.”
“…Ah yes.”
Again, Mikhail abandoned a strict master.
Eileen looked at the club with a subtle expression.
Seeing that the tips were red, there was no doubt that not a few demons’ heads had been smashed by that club.
She let out a small sigh.
“Anything about Master….”
“Sir Milium is in the middle of a bloody battle with the legion-level demons. Did I mention there are more than ten numbers? The great devil is also the great devil, but when they overflow like that, there is no answer again.”
“…but.”
Eileen immediately understood.
It is true that the only two remaining great demons are menacing enemies, but more than that, the top demons with names cannot be ignored.
I don’t know if it’s one guy, but those guys are bound to come together from time to time.
“Are you ignoring me!”
Enoch roared as he saw the two of them having a leisurely conversation.
A group of soldiers covered their ears and trembled in agony.
At the same time, the momentum of the fiercely fighting demons became noticeably stronger.
But why?
Eileen didn’t look particularly troubled. Far from embarrassed, I just laughed as if I was having fun.
“What. Why do you look like that….」
I couldn’t understand.
There were no warriors in this land anymore.
It is as if there is no castle wall to protect humanity from itself.
Now, she tried to reign over mankind as a true fear, but why on earth was that girl glaring at herself with that expression?
Although I am a great monarch.
A monarch who has lived and reigned over countless people from beyond, why!
“My servants! Trample those who dare to defy God! I will be with you now…!」
“Hmm, you’re right, Hero.”
Just then, a voice was heard from above. Enoch trembled and raised his head urgently.
And on top of that….
[Huh?]
A boy was floating in the air with a large book open.
Sage Herma.
A homunculus who is an ally of the hero and has learned a lot of knowledge.
The things he obtained from Solomon’s arrangement were quite diverse.
For him, who had acquired a lot of knowledge, ‘the best teaching’ could be said to be the use of that knowledge.
And just in time, Solomon was also a great wizard and scholar who will go down in history….
“Enoch. You say you’re a hogu?”
It is said that there was also a ‘method’ to create a super-giant anti-ma barrier that would cover even this gigantic battlefield.
“It doesn’t seem like they’ve taken any countermeasures against the demons, and all they know how to do is push with the power of a born monarch, but in that case, it’s more helpful if you just don’t exist, right?”
“What is this dog….」
Before Enoch’s words were finished.
keying!
The barrier that had been completed immediately began to operate.
The divine object Herma received shone brightly and covered the entire area with light.
antima power.
Seeing this, Enoch cried out.
“Why is this happening again!”
This time was the time to clearly show your dignity!
why until the end…!
“I’m going anyway.”
Herma looked at Enoch with a bright smile.
“Let’s give generously.”
“That me…!」
Maybe it’s because they’re co-workers of that damn thing, even their smiles are similar.
Enoch unknowingly grabbed me by the back of my neck.
* * *
After being wrapped in light once, I opened my eyes and saw a place I had never seen before.
It was different from what I had imagined.
This ‘above’ in my mind must have been something surreal like a space where gods live.
However, the revealed space.
“…It is more peaceful than I thought.”
It was just the world down here as I knew it.
“It can change anytime. it’s such a space It is made to suit the position of the one who holds the initiative.”
Hekau said that and looked around.
Weiss was staring around as if he didn’t like it.
“It hasn’t changed, really.”
“What scenery?”
“No, of a drunken god…An image of my goddamn father. Nothing has really changed.”
Wise’s expression was contorted, as if he was annoyed.
“It is one-sided. There is already a landscape that you want down here, but you don’t want to see it. look this…Where do you look?”
“….”
“Imagination is, after all, the embodiment of an individual’s ideal. This is his ‘ideal’.”
Weiss grimaced, saying that it was malicious that there was nothing else.
What the demon god wants is already down there.
If you change your mind just a little bit, you will be able to escape from that long solitude and be worshiped as a gentle god.
But it doesn’t.
What is the reason?
“His father is not satisfied unless he makes it himself.”
“I see.”
“All of this is an inferiority complex. Inferiority toward Asar. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like the absence of Asar….”
It’s a really cool relationship.
Wise grumbled like that for a long time, using harsh words.
“I didn’t understand. I had no intention of understanding. So I turned my back and helped him.”
“…Was that the reason for pretending to be with the demon? Because I can’t understand the thoughts of the demon god?”
“What was the reason? But, to the point, it was like that.”
“You remember that time.”
Hekau seemed to be having fun.
“It was pretty out of shape. is not it?”
“Then don’t mess with it and exhaust it. I saw that.”
Wise answered Hekau’s words bluntly. There must be a lot of things intertwined with each other in the past.
I don’t know the details, but I’m sure it will be.
‘Drinking….’
It doesn’t feel right around here.
But I had a feeling that he must be watching it somewhere.
If so, what would you like to see?
Why are you not showing up in front of me….
‘…Do you want me to do something here?’
No matter how much I am, I can’t break this world. In any case, I will eventually reach him.
Only then will you be able to open Pandora and get your hands on what’s inside.
I continued walking with that thought.
At some point, the forest comes to an end.
The scenery outside the forest that slowly appeared in front of me….
“…uh?”
It was a sight that couldn’t exist and shouldn’t exist.
