Archmage Transcending Through Regression Chapter 372

The great mage who transcends by returning Chapter 372

Two months have passed since humanity escaped from the threat of demons.

The price mankind paid for dealing with ‘God’ was not as great as expected.

There were quite a few preparations, and the demons were also in a situation where the hero’s performance was almost destroyed.

Of course, it is not without problems.

“…Well, after that day, strange beings started appearing all over the world.”

The emperor touched his chin as he listened to the report.

On that day, mankind realized that their threat was permanently gone.

The malice disappeared, and most of the monsters hiding everywhere also disappeared.

Most of the things that remain are low-key things that won’t turn into a major threat.

And they will naturally be weeded out over time.

“Should I say that this is really fortunate…I was prepared for more damage at first.”

“Isn’t it all thanks to the hero?”

Hector, the commander of the imperial knights, calmly said that and sighed lightly.

Unlike his words, his tone was closer to a sigh.

It’s not that he didn’t have respect for the hero, but it was because he felt more pity than that.

“…If I had known it would disappear, I would have talked more about it.”

“What can you do?”

The whereabouts of the hero who left to make a decision with the demon have not yet been revealed.

However, when we saw that the presence of the hero also disappeared with the disappearance of the demon, it was widely speculated that they were destroyed together.

Some accepted that fact and some didn’t.

“Hmm, but to be honest….”

Then the emperor said.

“…Aren’t you the kind of person who will die just thinking about cancer?”

“hmm.”

“It seems to me that he must have survived in some very absurd way and then disappeared for an absurd reason. It’s just Jim’s prediction.”

The hero’s death has not been confirmed. No, there is no evidence that he is alive in the first place, but there is also no evidence that he is dead.

Hector put his regret behind him and decided to think about it again.

That Mikhail Walpurgis….

‘…Is that so?’

If you calm down and think about it, no matter how much you think about it, it’s unlikely that the hero who didn’t look like a human died.

The Mikhail he had seen so far seemed more like he was wandering around the continent committing bizarre things than really dead.

“hmm.”

Hector shook his head with an embarrassed expression.

“If that’s the case….”

“if?”

“It must be noisy.”

He smiled at the sudden thought and shrugged his shoulders.

It will definitely be noisy.

really.

* * *

The hero’s whereabouts are unknown.

But that doesn’t mean the world doesn’t turn.

For example, Garam, the kingdom of beasts.

Garam was running busier than ever today.

That would be too.

“Oh, the greening is dying!”

“The green forest freezes to death, and bandits talk a lot.”

Lian clicked his tongue and grabbed the bandit by the back and dragged him along.

Humanity is said to have quickly cleared up the chaos, but there are certain types of people who want to take advantage of the chaos to take their share.

Greening was like that too.

Recently, Lian accompanied Aileen and worked diligently to solve the noise that was happening around the world.

“…Something is wrong.”

“I know.”

The two naturally spoke.

In the first place, not only did they have a common history of swordsmanship, but since the time they spent together was time, it was strange that they didn’t let go of their words.

“Since the world is becoming peaceful so quickly, there is no need to exert too much effort even if you become strong.”

“Sometimes variations come out.”

“…what is that?”

sport.

Bizarre beings presumed to be ‘Dissonance’ created during the battle between the devil and Mikhail. Of course, there is no big problem.

It’s just part of the newly added world.

However, it took time to adapt to the sudden change, and in the process, these ‘variants’ were regarded as no small threat.

“But not bad.”

“Right.”

Ryan nodded.

He was less likely to show his sword, but he was quite satisfied with this peace.

Where did the enemy have to wield the sword?

I don’t know about anyone else, but Lian considered the sword to be the ‘seeking way’.

Did you watch until you got tired of blood?

Including until the return.

“Anyway, he’s not here either.”

“…I know.”

It’s just a side bridge to the end of the mutant or sweeping the bandits.

The real purpose of these two is to find Mikhail’s whereabouts.

Naturally, all of my colleagues did not believe that Mikhail was dead.

Isn’t that what Mikhail is?

There was no way that my hero, who was not even like that human, died in vain.

“There is no class more suited to a majestic death than that one. That he will survive somehow.”

“I guess so. I think Mikhail…It’s that kind of thing.”

Aileen accepted Lian’s words.

In any case, the search for Garam this time was in vain. Mikhail didn’t seem to be here either.

When I was so discouraged.

“Isn’t it Hero Heo’s colleague?”

With a thump, King Moo-hyul fell from the sky.

Unlike before the return, he defended his kingdom and was a truly dignified king.

Survival is a brilliant law.

Especially in the eyes of Lian, who knew ‘before the regression’, it seemed even more so.

Moo-hyul, who managed to hold on to something precious without losing anything, was smiling cheerfully as always.

“Yeah, there’s no way I came all the way here for no reason, hmm…He must have come looking for the hero’s whereabouts.”

“Yes, was there any news?”

“None. But when the time comes, he will show up, so why are you acting so impatiently?”

Moo-hyul speaks with a smile.

Seeing him like that, Ryan was a little surprised.

“Your Highness is sure.”

“That’s right, that ‘hero’. Some say that he was a reliable colleague of mine somewhere.”

Muhyul feels good as a prisoner.

However, what he said now did not seem to be simply a matter of such ‘feeling’. A truly strong belief.

“…hmm.”

“Please wait patiently.”

Muhyul looked at the two with benevolent eyes and said.

“A story always ends with the return of the main character.”

“but….”

In the end, like Moo-hyul, Lian smiled and handed over the green forest that was hidden nearby to the beast king.

“Come to think of it, the fortress was also infested with bandits. Well, they said they were greening or something.”

“Ah these guys.”

Moo-hyul’s eyes, which turned to Nok-rim, flashed for a moment.

“Hee hee hee?!”

In such a merciless atmosphere, Noklim took a step back without even realizing it.

but it doesn’t make any sense.

Moo-hyul, who boldly grabbed him by the back of his neck, gave a simple judgment.

“There is a punishment that is just right for a friend like this, so don’t worry!”

“If it’s a punishment…?”

“One of our clans, the Beavers, has a lot of really bizarre songs. If you listen to their songs directly, they die very well.”

“That’s not enough!”

Then the bandit desperately shouted. A bandit who rebels so wildly that it cannot be compared to when he was captured by Rian earlier.

Of course it doesn’t make any sense

“Heh heh let’s go!”

“Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!”

Moo-hyul stopped while trying to move the bandit whose beaver type was confirmed.

“Oh, I see.”

Seeing the two of them staring at him with an expression of incomprehension, the beast king put on a playful expression.

“Recently, there are rumors that a wizard was spotted carrying a bright red staff.”

“…!”

Both eyes opened wide.

* * *

Time flows relentlessly.

There is no law to stop because there is no one and there is another.

And it was the same with Ariandel.

“…hmm.”

After the disappearance of the Demon God, many things happened in the world, but among them, the religion was most affected by it.

God is gone.

Nowhere was there a story that all ‘gods’ had disappeared, but the followers of the religion knew instinctively.

That the God they believed in no longer exists.

However, mysteriously, the ‘divine power’ that should be passed on from Hekau still exists.

They could heal people or protect someone with it. It was a truly bizarre phenomenon that faith with no object to serve was still functioning.

A meeting of more than archbishops was urgently convened, and an endless war of words followed.

How to think of this ‘divine power’ without substance and what to do with the direction of the church in the future.

Of course, this is not a problem that can be easily solved.

Ariandel had an obligation to somehow rectify the chaos of the Church.

Because she helped the hero and actually contributed to peace, her right to speak was high even in the religion.

“sister.”

“Oh Cassandra.”

Looking at Cassandra, who had come to visit her today as always with work, she turned her head helplessly.

Of course, Cassandra’s appearance is also nonsensical. Excluding the Pope, these two are the only ones who can stabilize the Church at this point.

Of course, there must be a lot of work.

‘Who am I and why am I here?’

Ariandel muttered blankly as he buried himself in the pile of papers.

Being a saint isn’t a job that was created to handle this kind of work….

“W It’s hard too…?”

“It is not difficult.”

But it’s not like I took on this job for no reason.

It might have been because he was a member of the church, but he didn’t want to make Mikhail worry about him when he returned.

I’ve suffered so much, but I can’t leave such a trivial task to him.

“My sister is….”

“are you okay.”

Ariandel said firmly.

Don’t worry. I’ve been watching you for a long time and I know you won’t disappear like that.

In particular, wasn’t she the one who delivered that ‘message’ directly to Hekau?

Somehow, I thought there must be a ‘way’.

Anyway, for now, she has no choice but to do her best.

Fortunately, the chaos in the kingdom seems to be coming to an end, so I should be able to catch my breath now.

That was when I was thinking about it.

Cassandra looked at Ariandel quietly.

It didn’t look like she was trying to show it, but there was a look of panic in her eyes lately.

Know. That my sister believes in the hero’s return….

But even so, it wouldn’t be entirely worrisome. Thinking that far, she let out a wry smile.

“How about a visit?”

“…uh?”

Unknowingly, Ariandel looked at his sister with her eyes wide open.

Where would you like to visit?

At that, Cassandra quietly held out a piece of paper to her with a coy smile.

“This….”

What was written on the paper was about ‘small incidents’ that had recently occurred outside the continent.

Recently, criminals who have been disturbing public order are found near the beach with the back of their heads smashed.

“…hmm?”

“It seems that everyone’s head was broken by a heavy blunt instrument, and there are eyewitness reports that a wizard was found nearby.”

“ah.”

If you add up all the eyewitness accounts, there is only one person she knows.

then.

‘ah.’

I want to check it out right now.

Even if he was sure of his return, wouldn’t it be better to visit him from this side?

But there was still a lot to do.

Compared to the beginning, it’s a little more relaxed, but if she falls out, the story will change.

‘how should….’

“It’s okay, sister. It’s just a matter of catching people playing and doing it.”

“If you are playing….”

“Siegfried.”

“…ah.”

that person….

I haven’t been able to use a sword lately, so I’ve been playing half of my own and half of the others.

Recently, there has been a rumor that she secretly avoids Cassandra. Maybe it was because of that.

“Didn’t you catch it until now?”

The recent whereabouts of Siegfried were also unknown.

It wasn’t a big deal, it was just because Siegfried ran away protesting that he was going to find Mikhail.

“Oh, it’s okay.”

“okay…?”

“Recently, I was beaten and dragged by Helen.”

“….”

Siegfried’s sister, Helen Sigurd. It seemed that he had been running away well lately, but he was eventually caught.

“It’s because I’m a little indecisive, but these days, my brain tends to work well, so I guess I can use it.”

“hmm….”

“Then my sister is leaving.”

Cassandra smiled broadly.

Unlike before the return, it is the appearance of finding your own happiness.

“You have something to do, right?”

“…!”

At those words, Ariandel nodded unconsciously.

* * *

“Your Excellency.”

The Marquis turned his head at the voice calling him. It is the marquis who has been seeing a lot of windows lately.

The family’s status has become even stronger, the world’s crisis has been overcome, and everything is going well….

“Oh yes, butler. Are you back to work now?”

“Well, it’s always the same. Of course, now is the time for Walpurgis to realize some degree of physical power….”

“Tell that story later.”

The Marquis looked at the butler with mixed eyes.

From the outside, it’s no different than usual, but he still can’t forget the butler who in one moment tore his suit to reveal his muscles.

how come…did that happen?

‘What the hell….’

Of course, the Marquis who said that wasn’t particularly normal, but isn’t it normal for everyone to think of themselves as normal?

The Marquis is just like that.

Anyway.

“So, haven’t you heard anything about my son’s whereabouts lately?”

“Recently, as a result of somehow grasping information with the wise man….”

Finding Mikhail’s whereabouts took a significant amount of manpower and time.

As a result of extensively investigating the whereabouts with the help of the Dark Elves, Hedos and Mia….

“Once there are clues all over the place. I wonder if that’s really a young boy…I don’t know.”

“Still, there are results. That’s really fortunate.”

The fact that there are clues means that there is a high probability that my son survived safely.

I don’t know why it hasn’t shown up yet.

“Hey, when the heck are you planning to come back home? He’s like an unfilial boy….”

“Why don’t you know how to come? He’s not the kind of person who will go around getting beaten up.”

“That’s right.”

All the members of the Walpurgis family have been like that, but especially Mikhail.

If you hit, you hit, not the one who gets hit.

“What first…hmm?”

The butler stopped talking and widened his eyes.

At the butler’s reaction, the Marquis looked at him with puzzled eyes.

“Is anything going on?”

“No, that….”

The butler looked at the Marquis with a puzzled look and said,

“…I heard the young master was found?”

“What?!”

The Marquis’ eyes widened at those words that came too suddenly.

The butler who delivered the news also said with a puzzled expression.

“It was found. at sea.”

“…ocean?”

Why is this guy found in a place where there is no root?

Although he was my son, the Marquis could not understand.

“Why is he there….”

“Yeah…Is it because you are the young master?”

“hmm.”

Well, I guess that might be the case.

* * *

It is the sea.

The endless sea, like a mother’s wide and wide bosom.

Then why am I here

The reason is simple.

“Paddle rowers.”

“Yes yes!”

When I came to my senses, I was here.

It means that I, Mikhail Walpurgis, fell into the middle of an unknown sea as soon as I finished the decisive battle with the Demon God.

It’s not even just the sea.

“I never thought I’d be diving for a pirate ship in my life.”

“…Oh really.”

“Who mumbled just now?”

“That bastard.”

There is no god among pirates. The pirates who quickly confess the culprit right before my eyes roll.

Instead of a drum, I patted the head of the pirate who had cursed at me and saw the land beginning to appear in the distance.

The pirates who saw it shouted.

“You land!”

“It is liberation at last! that devil…I can bring the Great Grand Mage to the land!”

What made them so happy? The pirates embraced each other and vomited their joy.

I don’t know what the heck it’s like to do that.

I told the pirates who vomited such joy.

“Break it down, boys.”

“…yes?”

“We’re not going to get off, so turn around.”

Wise, who was quietly listening to my words, spoke.

“Aren’t you going down?”

“I’m still alive, but at least one thing on my bucket list needs to be fulfilled.”

“What was your bucket list?”

“Saving people on a pirate ship.”

“….”

When I was young, there was a story about going on a trip on a pirate ship and talking about the pirate era.

I wanted to give it a try.

“The bond between colleagues who ride a pirate ship together and save people in trouble while speeding through the sea….”

At my words, Weiss glanced down.

Below, pirates who were almost suicidal at the word ‘break’ were rolling on the deck.

“…What is it that you don’t have?”

“There are no strong bonds, but there are terrible fears.”

Maybe that was enough?

What kind of bond is the bond to those who enslave people and raid merchant ships?

“I don’t even drink. Now I have to do some of the things I wanted to do in my life.”

“Hmm.”

Even Wise seemed to agree with that. A freedom that has been weighed down by obligations for a very long time.

I finally have freedom.

Is there anything you want to do?

Now, even if I do something like that, no one will say anything.

“Be free.”

Just muttering those words makes my heart race.

The target to be overthrown as the Demon God has disappeared, and now freedom has filled its place.

Life is long.

can do anything

I’m thinking of going to see my colleagues. But before that, I want to decide what I really want and want to do and have a reunion.

When I thought so and laughed.

“Hey there, the great mage, Nari…?”

“hmm?”

“Can you see something in the distance?”

A pirate stuttering and pointing somewhere.

When I glanced over, I was sure something was coming this way with a terrifying force.

I looked at something.

“…hmm.”

conceive.

A boat with about five people on board.

the eyes are ugly

“That’s Mikhail! I’ve been messing around again and haven’t come yet! It’s like you!”

“Because I knew that person was like that?! I thought something weird was going to happen in a place like this again!”

‘It’s X.’

At that moment, my clever mind quickly concluded the identity of the ship coming this way.

And ordered the pirates.

“Hey hey, break it again.”

“…yes?”

“Break it!”

Those are the guys.

I don’t know if it’s a normal reunion, but I can’t live in my name if I get caught riding a pirate ship on the beach!

“Bounce!”

I exclaimed urgently.

but.

“Where are you going?”

“Yeah, of course, after holding my breath for a while, when the atmosphere calms down a bit, I make a plausible appearance again…!”

…huh?

Turning my head, I saw another familiar face.

“set?”

I saw the set smiling and smiling with green eyes shining.

When the hell did he even get here?

“…When did you come?”

“I was watching from above, and you tried to run away, so I decided to intervene.”

I slowly turned my head.

It is said that the round table had already been watching me from before.

Well, I wouldn’t even be able to notice that at the point where the divinity disappeared.

“Kuhmmmm what is that? It happened. The fact that I didn’t report my existence first contained my own philosophical and firm truth of life. Isn’t that what the world is all about? Everyone has their own grievances, but living somehow is the most important thing in the world. ….”

“It was bullshit.”

“hmm.”

Okay…

Thinking that way, when I was about to avert my eyes.

“haha!”

Set smiled brightly and approached me lightly, holding me in his arms.

It was like a surprise attack.

A surprise that can’t be avoided even if you know it.

Is that why? I couldn’t deny it.

Set held me in his arms and said with a bashful smile.

“Mikhail.”

“hmm.”
