Regressor Of The Fallen Family [EN]: Chapter 437

“I only want to make the Magic Tower public and work legally.”

It sounded reasonable, but Logan frowned.

If the Kassel Magic Tower, led by an Archmage, simply wanted to be open, why would they anger the Empire and the Holy Kingdom? Even with old problems with the Imperial Family, they should have been able to solve them and start the Magic Tower without much trouble.

“It seems you don’t want to have a real conversation.”

Logan remembered the terrible things Emperor Baros did in his past life.

After seeing Jibrik Kassel’s memories, he knew that the Kassel Magic Tower used a magic circle that needed many sacrifices.

Because of that, the Kassel Magic Tower was probably helping Emperor Baros in his past life.

There must have been a reason, and that reason was probably to bring Jibrik Kassel back to life or to repeat what he had done.

‘Either way is terrible, but maybe they have a different reason now.’

He asked the question hoping for a different answer, but the Tower Lord gave a quick, not-serious answer.

The old man, the Lord of the Kassel Magic Tower, stayed calm.

“What goal could be harder than being hunted by the two strongest powers on the continent and wandering around?”

“Well, if you hadn’t caused problems in the first place, you wouldn’t be hunted.”

“Hee hee, you’re wrong, Your Majesty.”

Hmm?

“From the start, the Imperial Family of the Empire and the Holy Kingdom were against our Magic Tower. Even if we had done nothing, they would have attacked us.”

The Imperial Family of the ancient Archmage Taron Ares, Jibrik Kassel, and the secret history of the Nine Gods.

Someone who didn’t know the truth might be confused, but Logan understood right away.

Of course, he couldn’t show it.

“What do you mean?”

“It’s a story from ancient times that is a secret even now. Would you become allies if I told you this story?”

The Tower Lord’s voice sounded insincere and unpleasant.

Should he listen to a story he already knew just to pretend?

Of course not.

“I read in a book about Jibrik Kassel. It said he was attacked by the Nine Gods’ followers. He was badly hurt and never got better. So, is the Imperial Family on the side of the people who are controlled?”

He only said part of what he knew and didn’t say everything clearly.

When he said that, the Tower Lord’s eyes flashed again.

“Hee hee, it seems that book really exists. But let me fix one thing you know, Your Majesty.”

As he said that, a dark red aura rose from the Tower Lord’s body like heat waves.

“The followers of the false gods were defeated by ‘Him’ at that time. And their masters’ godhood was damaged so badly that they couldn’t send followers for hundreds of years after. But even then, they gave orders to destroy us who follow ‘Him.’ That’s how much they fear ‘Him.'”

The Tower Lord’s voice sounded almost crazy as he emphasized the word ‘Him.’

False gods. Them. Him.

Those words showed how he, how the Kassel Magic Tower, felt about the Nine Gods and Jibrik Kassel. It was similar, but the target was different…

‘Faith.’

Logan smiled slightly, finding a weakness in the Lord of the Kassel Magic Tower in an unexpected place.

“Hmm, I also saw who the Nine Gods are in a ‘book,’ but I didn’t really believe it. That they were born as gods of different races… And even if that were true, why would they fear someone who is already dead?”

He said it slyly as bait.

The Tower Lord’s face turned red for a moment, as if he had taken the bait.

But soon, he paused as he looked at Logan, then looked indifferent and stopped using his magic power.

“Hee hee, I’ve been saying too many things I didn’t need to. But let me say just one more thing, Your Majesty.”

He smiled again, and his voice calmed down.

“He is ‘immortal.’ And His words are also true. You should remember the words in that book well.”

Except for his eyes shining with greed for the book that didn’t exist, he looked the same as before. Of course, for Logan, that small change had already given him many clues.

‘I thought it might have changed after thousands of years…’

Like the ancient Sword God had worried, the Kassel Magic Tower didn’t seem to have given up on bringing its founder back to life.

If so, is this person being so helpful now because he knows I’m related to him by blood?

Like that cursed ancestor’s soul, is he trying to use me as a sacrifice to bring him back to life?

Just thinking about that made him want to stab the person in front of him, so Logan forced a smile while trying to control his stiff face.

“Well, that sounds too strange to me. It seems our conversation has gone in the wrong direction, Tower Lord.”

“Hmm… Well, if you don’t believe me, how about giving me that useless book first? Hee hee.”

Logan tried hard to change the subject, but the Tower Lord wanted the book more than he thought, and the conversation went back to the start.

Should he make up a story that isn’t true?

Realizing he wasn’t good at making things up, Logan sighed to himself.

“Why do you want the book so much? Even if it’s a relic of the founder, I don’t think what’s written inside is much different from what you already know…”

“Sadly, many traditions have been lost because of the plans of the gods. The achievements of Him, the true savior of humanity, have been erased, and only false gods are powerful, so we who follow Him have had to protect the few records we have.”

The Tower Lord sighed for a moment and continued excitedly.

“In fact, almost nothing is left except for records of who the Nine Gods are and the importance of Him. There are so few records of the one who fought for humanity until his gray eyes and black hair turned red!”

‘Huh?’

Gray eyes and black hair…?

Logan’s eyes flashed for a moment as he realized something strange in the Tower Lord’s passionate speech, which made his eyes roll back.

In Jibrik Kassel’s memories, he usually had red eyes and red hair, like his ancestor. But when fighting, he would cover his whole body with dark gray magic power and use terrifying power.

But…

‘Are they wrong? Or is the record completely changed?’

That thought soon led to one guess.

‘Could it be that they don’t know about my connection to Jibrik?’

If so, they probably don’t know about the power of Wishes either. The Kassel Magic Tower might have less information than expected.

Logan, who was happy about the unexpected situation, suddenly looked confused.

‘No, if that’s the case.’

Why on earth…?

“Why did you come to me?”

Oops.

Logan was surprised, saying his thoughts out loud without realizing it.

“Why…? You invited me, Your Majesty?”

“Ah, I’m sorry, but my bad relationship with the Kassel Magic Tower started before I got those relics?”

“Ah… Well, that’s right, hee hee.”

That was a great excuse.

Logan praised himself in his mind.

“Because signs of a prophecy have appeared in McLaine.”

The Tower Lord said another important word.

“Prophecy?”

“Yes. It’s the prophecy left by Him. That the time when the gods have left will come.”

The time when the gods have left?

“Now, the false gods will slowly lose their power. The children being born in McLaine these days who aren’t affected by divine power prove that. And He said that the start of that is the appearance of a hero like Your Majesty…”

…He’s hiding something.

Logan narrowed his eyes and glared at the Tower Lord, but the Tower Lord, who had given away a lot of information without knowing it, was just smiling in a way that wasn’t clear.

‘Is he talking about a time traveler instead of a hero? No, it can’t be?’

Now, Logan was starting to understand. The power of the soul, which is better than Aura or Mana, and the power that is similar but better than that power.

Comparing the Sword God’s Legacy, the gods’ desire to kill him, and the power used by the gods through Viktor’s mark with the power of Wishes, it became even clearer.

The gods use a power that is ‘similar’ to the power of Wishes.

That’s right. It’s a similar power.

‘It’s the power to put one’s ‘will’ on reality with a very strong soul level.’

The power of the gods was similar to, but clearly different from, the power of Wishes, which was a collection of so many souls that it was impossible to know exactly how many, hundreds of millions, or billions.

‘Because of the history I changed, the will of the gods in other dimensions is also changed.’

That was why the children born as a result of his changed history weren’t affected by that will, or divine power. He could understand why the gods wanted to kill him so badly.

But time travel is caused by the power of Wishes.

And Jibrik Kassel’s soul couldn’t handle that power of Wishes and disappeared. Even though it was only a part of him.

Did that guy predict the changes that came with his appearance with the words ‘the time when the gods have left’?

‘Does that make sense?’

How much does Jibrik Kassel, or rather the Kassel Magic Tower, really know, and how much don’t they know?

His head was confused by the new questions, and the person causing them was smiling in front of him again.

“You don’t need to think too much. We’re just going to watch over Your Majesty’s surroundings, who will lead the time when the gods have left, and wait for the day the prophecy comes true.”

Waiting, my foot.

‘You’re going to make it happen faster.’

Listening to that serious voice, he thought of at least one way to find out.

“If we’re going to become allies, shouldn’t we test each other’s skills?”

“What do you think caused the recent problem on the western border? With the weak forces of the Western Ten Nations…”

Clang!

The Lord of the Kassel Magic Tower’s voice, which had been calm, stopped suddenly when Logan drew his sword from his waist.

“What does this mean, Your Majesty?”

Looking at the slightly shining brown eyes, Logan smiled brightly.

“Didn’t I tell you to test your skills? I want to see the Tower Lord’s fighting skills more than your power. It hasn’t been long since another Archmage, the Emperor, gave you trouble…”

“I thought you were someone who could control your competitive spirit for the sake of the greater good.”

“Please think of it as part of the process for the greater good.”

“It’s not a trap to catch me, is it?”

“Of course not.”

Logan, who answered with a smile to the Tower Lord’s stiff face, immediately used his spirit power.

At the same time.

[There will be a fight in the training area, but don’t pay attention to it for a while!!]

The spirit wave, which had become stronger in the few days since he recovered from his injuries, was sent to all allies in the inner castle.

Even to the Archmage in front of him.

“Amazing. Does an Aura Master use spirit power like this? Hee hee.”

Is an Archmage different?

‘Well, I’ll find out now.’

Logan, who had been confused for a moment, soon smiled confidently and pointed his sword at the Tower Lord.

“Well, is this enough?”

“Hee hee. I’ll play along for a while.”

With that, the black aura and the golden aura began to fight fiercely.
