Archmage Transcending Through Regression Chapter 67

Episode 67

“Didn’t I say it too loudly?”

1 On the way back to the temple, Lian spoke to me.

“What are you talking about?”

“That Siegfried knight. A candidate for the same hero as you.”

It seems that he was very uncomfortable with me openly stamping on Siegfried.

“It didn’t seem like a particularly bad quality to me.”

“If I was a normal person, I wouldn’t have spoken so hard.”

“You mean you did it intentionally because you were a candidate for the hero?”

“of course. I don’t know what you think about being a hero, but it’s a position that requires a heavier responsibility than you think.”

“…It’s a responsibility.”

“You must have seen demons on your way here. There’s a reason why things like that suddenly appear.”

“Hmm…At my words

, Lian drooled.

He must have known that the recent situation was not so common.

Actually, a lot will change.

One day something unexpected will happen to me as well.

No matter how much you prepare, it’s not enough.

in the first place.

‘Before the return, we don’t have any memories of engaging in a battle with the demons.’

In the end, a battle could be called a battle only when there was some exchange between each other.

But at the time, we were only hit one-sidedly, and there were no effective hits.

“Certainly, as with the world tree, and even the mimicry demon this time…It’s not a normal situation.”

“The more chaotic the world is, the greater the presence of faith. Moreover, if the reason for the dizziness is because of the devil.”

“Because of such a situation, it is not possible to become a half-hearted hero.”

Ryan nodded as if he understood.

“Well then you must be right. There are things that have been shown so far.”

“You agree easily.”

“You showed me something. I’ve seen that, but it’s funny to say that you’re wrong.”

Ryan’s conclusion was simple.

But even so, it is very resolute.

In this case, the guy never talks empty words.

“what…If that’s the case, then I’m also saying that I shouldn’t be the same now. Even if you can’t do it, you should be as good as Siegfried.”

“You don’t have to worry, I will make it happen even if it doesn’t work. If you change your common sense, there are plenty of ways.”

“…How?”

“I was hit and rolled and vomited…What else do you need?”

“haha.”

At my words, Ryan’s face went white.

He smiled quietly and gave me a thumbs up.

“I’m a person who gets stronger on my own, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Sure.”

Oh sure.

someone said

Life is not always the way you think it is.

1 Almost arrived at the temple.

‘hmm?’

In the distance, I saw someone coming out of Temple 1.

It’s a pretty familiar face.

“under.”

The moment I saw him, a cold laugh flowed out without me knowing.

“That old man.”

Archbishop Killian.

He is the only archbishop in the church wearing such an extravagant outfit.

Set, too, looked at the old man with narrow eyes.

[Hmm, the author….]

“Yes, it made a great contribution to the Kyoguk becoming like this.”

…What a fucking huge contribution.

It is no exaggeration to say that the old man is the source of the corruption of the Church.

Even worse was the fact that he had no self-awareness.

I already guessed why the old man was here.

‘Cassandra must have been the target.’

Seeing that hypocritical smile makes my stomach turn inside out.

Rian asked me if I felt something in my expression.

“What is it?”

“Do you see that greedy old man from Temple 1 over there?”

“Hmm, looking at his outfit, he’s an archbishop…“

I know what a high-ranking person is.

hey what is an old man Be polite…

“This is Archbishop Killian.”

“Oh, you are old. Admit it.”

At my words, Lian immediately accepted my words.

A quicker attitude change than anyone else.

“Anyway, it’s true that you’re a tough opponent…. Are you going to evade?”

“no way.”

Why should I avoid that old man? Rather, it should be made to avoid me from the other side.

I walked casually.

“her.”

The archbishop who spotted me immediately frowned.

But then he smiled and shook his head.

“Hehe, isn’t this a candidate for a hero? I never thought I’d see you here….”

“Hello, Archbishop.”

I also smiled while facing the archbishop, hiding my true feelings.

“I never thought I would see you here. Huh, I think this old man is really blessed.”

“Haha, good luck.”

That’s not even funny.

But I continued without breaking my smile.

“That’s right! Indeed, the Prophet did not succumb to the conspiracies of the ‘devils’ and safely returned to the kingdom, so it is a blessing!”

“devil?”

For a moment, the archbishop’s eyebrows twitched.

But I pretended not to notice.

“That’s right. There’s no way a person from the religious state would be hostile to a prophet…. So, besides demons and wild things, what else drove out the Prophet?”

you are saying you

I looked at the archbishop and smiled.

The days stood at each other’s words and laughter.

“Heh heh…The

Archbishop twitched and forced a smile.

“That’s true…haha. It is true that prophecies are difficult words to deal with.”

“It is a word from God. The Archbishop would know best…“

I looked at the archbishop who was trembling and said softly.

“…Maybe you don’t know?”

“Hehe, I don’t know what the candidate wants to say.”

“no. Well, the archbishop could be such a bastard son of a bitch. I believe in the archbishop’s ocean-like faith. haha! A priest who does not believe in prophecy would have nothing to say even if he died from being struck by lightning from a very dry sky!”

The archbishop’s face turned red. But I pretended not to know until the end.

“Archbishop, do you think you have a fever? You are a precious body, how about you die quickly and rest?”

“yes…yes yes…Yay. One candidate.”

The Archbishop glared at me with cold eyes. No, there is an absurdity in staring at it.

These were just snake eyes.

Eyes filled with deep greed, as if watching my prey.

“God will choose the right people as warriors. I believe so. I’m sorry, but what suits me as a hero is…”

“It doesn’t make any sense.”

“…yes?”

Archbishop Killian raised his head with a puzzled expression at my words.

The reaction was laughable and I burst into laughter.

I know you will support Siegfried. No, I can’t help but support it. Because I bet my everything on him.

but.

“It is not you, Archbishop, who determines the warriors. In this world, only one person has the right to choose a hero.”

I pointed to the sky above and said to the Archbishop.

“Isn’t it our god-wise Hekau?”

“…!”

No matter what anyone says, the selection of a warrior ultimately follows the will of God.

Even if it wasn’t before the return, it will be now.

but you won’t admit it

Even if he were to listen directly to Hekau, he would reject it.

“God’s will…haha.”

said the Archbishop, his serpentine eyes flashing coldly.

“Indeed, the candidate is right. It will be something to wait and see.”

After saying that, the archbishop briefly bowed to me and walked past me.

That moment.

[Woo-wook What is this….]

Set covered his mouth with a frown. It’s like I’m sick of the nasty smell.

Of course, I was no different.

A stench that stings the nose.

The stench was coming from the archbishop.

Even if it is not the person’s own, there is no doubt that he is close to the owner of the stench.

[Mikhail, that can’t be….]

“I know. I can’t say more.”

He responded to Seth’s words as if chewing and spitting out.

…The result was as expected.

Really enough to make me laugh.

“Are you here?”

1 When I returned to the temple, Cassandra greeted me.

As if she knew in advance, she held out a teacup filled with tea.

“Please eat. It’s just brewed, so it’ll be good to drink.”

“Did you know I was coming?”

“I got a feeling.”

“Well, intuition can’t help it.”

Nothing else, but the intuition of a prophet is bound to come true. In fact, I just wanted to drink tea.

I took a sip of the tea after receiving it from her. it tastes not bad We’re good enough.

“Are you okay?”

“After all, my hobby is collecting cars. That’s why I take pride in brewing tea pretty well.”

When she said that, she shrugged.

While I was talking to her, I saw a teacup on the table. It was still a little, but it was steaming.

“So how was the old man, Archbishop Cillian?”

“Oh, you met outside.”

She smiled bitterly.

“He is always the same person. …I can’t say it’s a good thing.”

“I guess so.”

Roughly speaking, it probably put a lot of pressure on her as a prophet.

The old man I know could possibly have made a really strong threat.

then eda said

“They say that the Church no longer needs prophets. The ‘wrong prophecy’ that no one believes tarnishes the name of God.”

“It is exactly as expected. Didn’t I tell you that if you do something useless, you’ll be killed?”

“Well, he didn’t say that openly because he himself had noticed. Of course, I did turn around.”

Hmm…

How the hell can I hear that I fed the old man well when I feed him taffy?

I have something in mind….

“Oh, and he said this. The Holy Knights are already ready to take care of that damn brother. It was hard to overhear.”

Edda frowned.

“The Holy Knights…In name and reality, the main power of the Kyo-guk. If even the Holy Knights openly support my brother, starting with Archbishop Killian, I think it will be quite difficult to overturn it.”

“Oh, that’s okay.”

“…hmm?”

As if to say something, she tilted her head.

“No, do you really have to be wary of the support of the Holy Knights? I understand being confident, but this is really easy…“

So I solved it.”

I definitely told her what had happened in the Holy Knights.

After a while.

“…That’s why I’ve hung the doorknob, so you don’t have to worry.”

“her.”

He looked at me quietly with his mouth open.

“What are you really doing?”

It was truly her reaction.

“The devil was hiding inside the Holy Knights? Even destroy it instantly…Did you use that as an excuse to limit the activities of the Knights?”

“I was lucky.”

“It’s not a matter of luck!”

He shouted again with a look of absurdity.

“Oh no, isn’t it? I see you…Did you see the mark that His Holiness received from God at that time? If you think about that…!”

“Well, that’s not important.”

I interrupted her to say something more and continued.

“The important thing is Archbishop Killian. That the old man should be completely expelled from the church.”

“…Is there a way?”

Soon, skepticism appeared on Edda’s face.

“Even His Holiness is currently unable to completely restrain the old man…Unless something big happens…”

“What if that great thing happens?”

Edda widened her eyes.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on me. Even Ryan didn’t know what to say.

“No matter how great the archbishop is, there is a means here in the church that can hook you in one shot.”

“Wait a minute.”

The moment I said that, he looked at me with a white face and said.

“no way…You’re not going to do what I’m thinking right now, are you? No, I’m sure you’re not.”

“I don’t know what you were thinking, but I think you’re right.”

The demon Delos is extinguished.

But at the same time, I was able to realize one more fact the moment I annihilated him.

‘There’s one more guy.’

Delos is a demon famous for his assassinations and had a lot of notoriety before returning.

But one more thing.

Here’s a fun fact….

‘That means he’s a twin.’

Lotus.

In the past, the demons who would gain such terrible notoriety were twin brothers.

Remembering that fact, he said.

“Heresy.”

And before.

“I intend to judge Archbishop Killian as a heretic.”

Archbishop I smelled the stench of lotus from that old man.
