The Rebirth Of The Hero’S Party’S Archmage [EN]: Chapter 168

The Reincarnated Grand Magician of the Hero Party – Episode 168

Episode 168

Nariaduke, the Three Wheels of Time.

The authority bestowed by the Queen of Time is the present.

That absolute being, who controlled the time and space commonly referred to as the present, lets out a fierce scream that seems to tear apart the eardrums of a mortal.

“Shariaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa… Queen, Your Majesty… Ru Rudum has, this is, this is…!”

Even the option of spreading wings and flying into the sky seemed impossible due to the pressure of the pillar of light still pressing down on the ground from the sky.

The ground exposed to that explosive cold also began to freeze, and before they knew it, the ice that had frozen the entire pit began to spread towards them.

Milone thought they had to avoid it, until the momentum of the freezing, which had even frozen the geothermal foundations of the Red Mountains, gradually weakened.

“I guess… this is… not enough for me…”

Valensidice muttered with a sigh, stating the reason.

Indeed, it was not enough to use the spell of a shaman who had lived for 300 years as a legend itself.

For now, the theory of the spell was admirable in its perfection.

A great reversal spell that forcibly twisted the flow of divine energy flowing throughout the Red Mountains, weaving it into one, and converting it into extreme cold.

They say the student surpasses the master; it was a realm beyond the Greater Subjugation of the Lesser [a powerful sealing technique].

‘But it’s not enough.’

Inevitably, Valensidice lacked the perception, experience, magical power, and divine power to perfectly handle that vast knowledge.

If he had succeeded completely, he might have been able to trap that thing in absolute zero ice forever…

As his magical and divine powers depleted and his strength gradually weakened, there was no hope.

“Shu (Strength), A (Give), Paris (Vibrant).”

At that moment, the great language that reigned as power itself rather than sound echoed in a charming voice.

Dragon Speech [a language used by dragons to imbue words with power].

Among the creatures of light existing on this earth, only dragons could imbue language with absolute power.

The Dragon Speech recited now was by no means of high caliber, but it was more than enough to compensate for the magical and divine power that was lacking by a hair.

“Aki, you…?”

At the same time as Miria muttered with a slight confusion, the power of the seal became dazzlingly strong, and the absolute being’s scream also grew louder.

And just as Milone had thought earlier, the ice that had swallowed the ground began to spread to the entire area in an instant.

The absolute vortex of cold that froze everything in this world as it was turned even the pouring rain into hail.

“Is this, is this the end of it all?”

Miria and Milone, who were watching the frost storm, could only exchange hollow laughter that came out when the tension was relieved.

It was such a perfect design that it was a vast area that was beyond the control of Nariaduke’s space-time manipulation.

Even if he erased time or transferred space, the absolute zero storm would be waiting at the end of it…

The moment that thought was about to form in their minds, Milone grabbed the two people and the baby dragon and hurriedly jumped back.

“No…”

Everyone’s eyes trembled.

Because a whirlwind of poison was raging in the space where they had been standing until now.

“No way…”

Milone, who barely escaped from there, let out a sharp scream at the excruciating pain of her legs rotting, decaying, and melting.

“Hee, hee hee, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…!”

In that scream, the shadow of a nightmare loomed over their heads.

It was the Grand Magician Lynn who was tearing off the ice fragments covering his entire body in the backlight of the frost storm, bursting into laughter.

No, it was Nariaduke.

“Yes, those eyes… Asas, to you inferior beings who cannot escape the vortex of causality… those terrified eyes suit you perfectly… Hee hee ha ha ha ha…!”

Endless despair, fear, and madness consume the whole body, the mind.

Milone hurriedly smashed his lower armor with his fist, dislocated his knee joint underneath, and then severed his muscles, flesh, and tendons all at once.

Miria put Aki down and stepped forward to face him with her broken sword, panting madly, instead of the two incapacitated people.

At that time, Valensidice blankly analyzed the situation.

‘That ice, the ice that guy is tearing off, is not the ice from Toureina’s Great Reversal Spell.’

Yes, that was exactly it.

Once it was already covered with the Ice Stone of the Greater Subjugation of the Lesser, even if it was frozen by Toureina’s Great Reversal Spell, only the surface of the Greater Subjugation of the Lesser would be frozen.

“Raios, I will make you men and women worthy of receiving the gift of truth into the King’s henchmen.”

Inside the Greater Subjugation of the Lesser, that guy erased time or transferred space to get up here…

“But I, this Nariaduke, will take the flesh of that bitch and the dragon’s infant who are disrupting the causality of the kings here and now!”

Was there a mistake in Toureina’s calculations?

No.

It was only natural that Toureina could not have imagined that Nariaduke would use the Greater Subjugation of the Lesser indefinitely with Lynn’s body.

‘It’s all, all my fault.’

Although its power was replenished by the baby dragon, the problem was that it was cast incompletely from the beginning.

‘I’ve wasted the last chance to beat that guy…’

There was a chance to seize the victory at first, but he couldn’t freeze him completely several times due to lack of power, so even if there was no Greater Subjugation of the Lesser, that guy would have eventually escaped from there.

He failed. It was over.

Even if other Feyqueries [magical investigators] or the Papal Court or the Water Dragon stepped in, it would be after they were dead or turned into undead… That’s what he was thinking when it happened.

“Holy Light Sees Light as Good, Finally Dividing Light and Darkness.”

That trembling of sacred power.

Hidden in the frost storm and the whirlwind of poison, the power of creation awakens from the edge of the quietly rippling mental image.

The noble language gains light in order and soon rises into fierce flames.

The Holy Light of the Beginning Created Heaven and Earth, and the Earth Was Empty and Desolate, and Darkness Was on the Face of the Deep, and the Spirit of the Holy Light Moved on the Face of the Water, and the Holy Light Said, Let There Be Light, and There Was Light, and the Holy Light Saw Light as Good, and Finally Divided Light and Darkness.

At the same time, a fiery cage composed of character strings was firmly deployed around Nariaduke, who was about to grab Miria’s neck.

“Hmm?”

Milone, who regenerated his legs with dragon blood serum and immediately pulled Miria back, stopped for a moment, startled.

‘That is…’

Valensidice could only witness the scene as if his soul had left his body.

‘Could it be that the reason he asked me to buy time was…’

For the first time, something similar to fear appeared in Nariaduke’s third eye.

“This terrifyingly powerful force is…”

But soon it turned into a smile, and he spread his wings and soared high into the sky.

“Ro ho tabekeris! With our kind of riddled cage, you can’t trap this Nariaduke… No?”

He soared into the sky, even erasing the time when ‘the cage of flames is spreading around him’, but what is going on?

“I can’t escape…?”

Were his three pairs of wings burned black by the power of the flames that chased him to the sky?

Nariaduke, who had lost his overwhelming flying ability, fell pathetically to the frozen ground, scattering ice fragments everywhere.

Soon, a voice of doubt filled with pain burst out.

“Why, why is that… Rohotas, why isn’t that regenerative power, power, activating…!”

The Genesis Chapter, which decorates the beginning of the Seven Chapters of Genesis, was famous as a chapter with particularly powerful power among the seven chapters.

The reason why only four shamans in history, including Friede and Toureina, could handle that power was also because of that.

That verse containing the power of the God of Creation binds everything that has not been touched by the hand of creation and everything that has been touched by the hand of creation, and returns it to the state before creation.

In short, it severs the bonds connecting the soul and matter and banishes them to an era where there was nothing but nothingness.

– As it was transferred to scrolls and recited by humans, its power weakened to the point where it could not even be compared to the original power of the God of Creation…

When reciting the Holy Word, the red-eyed youth recalled the distant past. The scenery of memories that shone more beautifully than the stars, when he was with everyone.

– That person was really wonderful. He taught me magic for free when I had nothing… Just like I’m doing to you guys now.

Warm touches from the distant past that supported him whenever he was about to collapse after regaining his memories.

– Can I use it too?

– Then you’ll have to learn magic, right? Hehe, why don’t you abandon Lynn and come to me, Friede? This Fire Dragon Shaman will specially treat you to a full course of witch education. This kind of opportunity doesn’t come often.

– Th, that’s not what I want!

– Capacity, capacity, capacity.

Now, he can’t go back to that story.

Friede and Toureina are dead.

Now is the time to put an end to the story with that guy. It’s too late, but.

– Master, sleep in bed. You’ll catch a cold.

As if cutting off the echoes of memories fiercely, the power of creation is released from the spot where he spills blood and recites the last holy prayer.

“Arise, Manifestation.”

All the Holy Words surrounded by the edge of the mental barrier emit light. The power of the Genesis Chapter, which contains the story of creation, touched something beyond providence.

The characters that floated up, flowing with a clear melody as if playing a flute, were connected and woven together, ringing out as a gentle hymn.

When the hymn ended, the characters had merged into chains of fire containing the beauty of creation.

“And annihilate.”

No sooner had the command fallen than it bound the body of the old Grand Magician, who had just cut off his burning wings and was rising up in anger.

“No…?!”

Absolute power is refracted, and a wave arises in immortal power.

The absolute being felt fear.

He felt fear at the absolute power that did not distort time or space, but gradually suppressed the body and soul, burning one by one the causal links that connected the soul to this dimension.

“This is, this is, this can’t be… Kerhas, this, this causality, in the causality possessed by that person, this, this riiiiiiiiiise────!”

The dazzling light of creation, the heat of creation, which was impossible to even look at. A radiance as great and noble as dawn, different from the flash that would burn the retina.

In the explosion of that light, the fire of creation completely burned that young body and annihilated the ability created out of fear of death.

And, taking advantage of that fear, the old soul that had seeped into the body was banished to the other side of creation in a fire tornado.

“────Argne, Argne, Gaplaten, AnRidal, Queen of Time, Eternity, Your Majesty… This is, that person, the causality that that person pointed out was not, Nuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa────!”

The flames soared to the end of the sky, extinguishing all the impurities that had covered the mountain range.

A chillingly fierce storm swept through the mountain range, as if trying to fill the void of the cosmic existence that had clearly existed in this dimension.

Even in that storm, the dazzlingly blazing waves of fire scattered like snowflakes of fire in the next moment, warmly falling on the mountain range.

That snow carefully began to restore the providence of creation that was being destroyed by the abyss.

Flowers bloomed on the land that was rotting with dark blue, and new buds sprouted from the dying trees.

A sacred silence descended on the mountain range.

And the four moons hanging on the western peaks shed pillars of light like tears through the scattering dark clouds, warmly illuminating the heavens and the earth.

“Lynn, Lynn, Lynn.”

When the old boy’s knees buckled from the backlash of wielding the power of creation, far beyond the limits of mortality, Pipi flew to his shoulder.

“It’s not Lynn.”

While leaning his cheek against Pipi’s head, the red youth shook his head with a sad smile, watching the power of his mental image scatter into numerous fire relics.

“Lynn is no longer here. Because he died here now.”

If he had died that day, in that place, Kies would have wept silently. Friede would have put her pipe in her mouth and placed her hand on his shoulder.

Toureina might have grabbed my body and wailed, and Rista would have comforted Toureina while also crying herself. But the story would have ended there for sure.

– That person was really wonderful. He taught me magic for free when I had nothing… Just like I’m doing to you guys now.

A voice that could not be heard was heard.

Not Toureina, who was exhausted from waiting, buried in longing, and corrupted by the abyss, but Toureina, who buried Lynn in her heart with tears that day, and became a great grand magician, a sage, and a great sage, leading countless disciples to the horizon of truth.

It was an auditory hallucination that could not be heard and a dream that could not be realized… but just dreaming of it made him smile sadly, and all the strength in his body was released and he collapsed.

‘Toureina…’

As if the curtain was falling on a play, a dark curtain covered his vision and consciousness in black.

The last memory that flashed before his eyes before he lost consciousness was when he was chatting with Toureina about trivial things on that distant summer day…

And in the illusion that his whole body was being sucked into the muddy mud, everything was… into the darkness…

‘This is, farewell…’.
