Chapter 68 – 68. Akashic Records – Assemble (9)

For now.

The situation was now being sorted out little by little.

Communication was suddenly cut off and why the devil said such a thing.

“…There is a reincarnated person?”

-…Yes, reincarnated people. And…It has been confirmed that even the devil’s children and even government officials have reincarnations. Because of those people, I had to save Eris and at least her.

“I don’t want you to say that from the beginning.”

The same goes for Oracle, and why do we talk about the most important reason later?

Of course, it’s still frustrating. This time, rather than being angry at Elistro, it was the fact that reincarnated people had infiltrated the demon world as well. And of course, even more so because a reincarnated person infiltrated my father’s body and I almost died there.

Ambition that was not usually visible, and behind-the-scenes work. And among the people fanning the flames, there was a suspicion that they were reincarnated, and Dick was said to be over there now.

Even though it may not seem like it, Dick is secretly watching me.

In the end, it seemed like he couldn’t bear to see it and went directly to the demon world to harass him.

Jinseong Children’s guardian, apart from being a libertine, is really kinder to young children than anyone else. An explanation for saying that such a young child was in a place full of crazy people chasing me and that it was right to weed him out.

He acted like that because he thought it would be better for him to be a bad bitch than to be stabbed in the back by those he thought of as family.

And Dick said he was coming to crush their heads.

Since Mine is still there… Will it be okay? There are many other women besides Mine, so I don’t think there will be any major problems if I leave it to them.

Being stabbed in the back by your family.

…

That’s a sad story.

I, too, was almost killed by the reincarnated person who took over my family’s body.

And the little boy who is in that situation.

The next Demon King here also had to face that.

“…Why didn’t you tell me about that situation, Master?”

-Your mother said. If you were to be invaded by external beings, you would be able to kill with your own hands those who dream of overthrowing the demon world. And a mother does not want to see her children fighting among themselves, even if it means killing her own blood.

“…That can’t be possible.”

…

It’s a hidden situation. Of course, I feel like I said something ignorant and rude about it. Is it because of my mood? However, the problem is that such an important situation is not even talked about.

-And, I apologize for making you feel uncomfortable by not informing you of this situation properly, Mr. Clark.

“… Let’s make it a draw. You didn’t talk properly, and I didn’t really know either and just said that based on what I heard.”

-Thank you. Then…Do you accept it?

If anything, it was judged to be safer outside than there. It’s right to help with that. Of course, if you decided that it was safe to keep it attached to me, how much of a mess is that really?

“It looks like the guy who cheated on that kid is also a reincarnation… Are you sure about that?”

-The Hound of Tindalos, you call him Dick Johnson, he’ll check. However, we are seeing and suspecting that his behavior is different from his usual behavior.

Yes, because I said I was amazing at recognizing reincarnated people and things like that. Of course, Dick is more certain about this than anyone else, and he is the ‘Hound of Tindalos.’ So you don’t have to worry about that anymore.

The situation in the Demon World is in disarray in many ways, so does that mean it will be difficult to revive if we give up the scattered forces and the gains that can be made here and there? It is necessary to normalize internal affairs after the death of the Demon King, but it is also unstoppable to add talented people to the Demon World here and now.

It’s like a dilemma where the main base is attacked, but that doesn’t mean you can’t give up the advance. And if the children’s lives may be at risk and it is more dangerous inside, entrust them to a trustworthy person outside.

That’s the background to why they proposed this.

“…There was a brief unpleasant process, but if that’s the reason, there’s nothing I can’t accept.”

-Are you helping me?

“I’ll tell you in advance, but even so, you will have to explain to your children yourself later on for hiding your true feelings and giving such heartless reasons to them. And as an added bonus, if you have to worry about that while I’m busy with my own work, I will compensate you accordingly. “Do you think I’m asking for too much?”

-Not at all. Rather, we should provide more compensation.

And I compensate for this. And they ask for an advance payment. Of course, Gehenna, where I came to work, would make such a suggestion. Naturally, I asked for additional compensation.

“What did you originally intend to give me?”

-These are ancient spells from the demon world that are helpful to Mr. Clark. We can’t use it, and even demons and wise men from the demon world can’t interpret it. You can probably interpret it.

Indeed, you are suggesting this because you know that I collect spells and take them apart and reconstruct them.

And ancient spells.

“How many guns?”

-There are 10 in total. We can’t even interpret it. I also expect Mr. Clark to analyze it clearly. That’s why I’m asking, Mr. Clark, the Akashic Records. Is it okay if you hand it over to us?

“It doesn’t matter. There was only one purpose. And so what happens next?”

-I don’t know if it will be used, but it is a gauntlet used by the devil king of the past who was called ‘the king of evil’ and a god of great power. Artifacts are also disassembled and used…

“Good. Good. Then I’ll accept that as the advance payment. Can you send it to me now?”

– With that, are you doing me a favor?

“I’m just going to do it because I decided to do it. Besides, you and I don’t even know each other.”

-…?!

The reason I got angry just now was because the devil said that he would send a child out into such a rough terrain and make him roll. Of course, it’s not like she thoughtlessly left it to me or anything.

…

To be honest, you can’t believe you’re saying things like cutting back and forth and giving a harsh education to a child. This is true.

“Even so, I apologize for swearing at you just now without knowing it properly.”

-…First of all, it’s true that I should have told him the story.

“…One thing, it may be difficult to say that there is nothing I can do in lieu of an apology, but I would like to teach Aris some magic.”

Of course, if you really want to have me, you just have to come up with a reason. I already have experience teaching Anna magic by installing a magic circuit, and of course I can teach magic used by humans to monsters as well.

Naturally, I protect them reliably and create a justification for protecting them.

And if I create a reason to protect them through that, it won’t be a bad outcome for them either.

Even though they were in the position of praying, they were not strangers, and more than that, they blushed at each other, and they knew her mother’s sincerity in wanting little Aris to be safe.

I don’t know if the kid will accept this.

-Yes? Magic? Well, human magic is only for disciples…!

“Yes, I will make you my disciple. Of course, I will make you my disciple, and I will protect you with all my might. If you say that you are a disciple, you must follow your master if he follows you. I will tell you everything I can. Of course, that does not mean that I will protect Eris, who has lived for hundreds of years. It will be difficult to keep up, and in the future, you will just have to take the lead in your own life.”

-…Well, it’s okay to say this, but Aris is so young that I can-

“You have a headache?”

Silent affirmation. Of course, I chuckle and laugh.

“I can do anything as long as I’m not an idiot who can’t understand what people are saying.”

-…Well, I think you’ll regret it.

“…I know, I know he’s an idiot with a head full of flowers.”

I didn’t realize it until after talking to him a few times, but of course he’s only interested in things like he’s the next Demon King. Well.

“…I’ll say it again, it’s because the kid isn’t paying attention.”

-Well, once again…

“It’s okay. I decided to do it, and if that’s the case, there’s nothing I can’t help you with. Instead, tell me that without hiding it. Repaying you for your help is also my repayment, and if the relationship goes smoothly in the future, I will continue this transaction. Because I can.”

-…Is it…A deal…? For now, that’s it.

“…”

-Phew, I understand. But… Mr. Clark. I didn’t give up on you.

And the image of Withy looking straight at me and honestly conveying her feelings to me. As always, I know she cares about me. But still, she can’t accept her.

-Please don’t tell me to give up. And please don’t take away the fact that I have you in my heart. Still, I will always be waiting for you. Of course, if you come to see me at any time, I will be really…Really happy.

“…I can’t stop you. What’s the point of waiting for a man who doesn’t even reciprocate your feelings?”

-Because that’s what I decided to do. No matter what I say, I have no intention of abandoning the path I chose.

…That’s it. That’s it. My mouth hurts to talk more about this.

Of course, it’s not that I don’t like her, it’s a complicated feeling in many ways, but even so, for me…

There is a wonderful woman named Mira Dawn Bringer.

…

And soon after, a magic circle is drawn in front of Eris.

The King of Kings, the Gauntlet of the God of Superpowers.

A gauntlet made for right-handed use. As a gauntlet that showed how huge the wearer was, I estimated that this gauntlet had a circumference thicker than an adult’s waist, and there were various unconfirmed enchantment effects attached to the gauntlet.

I was so tempted to take these and take them apart right away, but now was not the time to use them.

It was passed down to Eris as is, and it was passed down to me as is. And leaving it to be examined later, I put it in my backpack and lifted it up with one hand, and Eris looked at me in surprise.

It’s lighter than I thought. This is too light for its size.

But looking at the reactions of people around me, it seems like it was really heavy to begin with.

Otherwise, there was no way I would have asked this.

“Did you eat that?”

-Wait a minute, Mr. Clark?

“? Why?”

Naturally, they looked surprised by that. If it doesn’t have this effect in the first place, it’s a pretty heavy item for them.

So, there are many more things I don’t know about.

Ancient artifacts worth analyzing can be fun to disassemble and analyze at any time. If you give these things and later write down the ancient techniques, it will be quite a fun analysis time. If you ask me why I enjoy this, of course it’s because I enjoy magic.

They say it’s not fun when it turns into work, but I enjoy it.

This is even bigger than that.

…

I’ll have to expand the backpack entrance a bit later.

I’ve been using it since my expedition days, so I’m attached to it, but I’ll have to replace it with something with bigger pockets after it’s released.

“Why?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

And Eris, who was still looking at her in surprise, cleared her throat and avoided her gaze. I don’t know what effect this gauntlet has here…

I’m sure it would be a lot of fun to analyze this.

Anyway, after that little incident ended. Withi looked at me and said.

-Please, the next time we meet, I hope that I will be remembered closer to you and deeper in my heart.

And finally, Withi spoke to Eris.

-Eris, from now on, you must secure Septem Malephisis and recruit witches who will join the Demon World. Move with the dark elves so you can capture them quickly. Elvenheim’s movements are being detected. They are also trying to capture the witches, so make sure you move quickly.

It’s Elven Haim.

Are they Kanfs again?

There’s no way I don’t wear this.

“Understood, Chief of Staff.”

-Gawain, are you planning to join Mr. Clark?

And Gawain nods her head. I guess Gawain, if this brother can save Elizabeth, would he want to cooperate in saving her?

I would also welcome any help from Lee. Because the sun magic I have, the holy sword of the sun, and the power of Gilatin are a good match.

“I also want to save her companion, Elizabeth. And if you find the clue, I also want to cooperate in it.”

-Okay. Well then, Mr. Clark. Let me ask you a favor, Gawain. Eris, let’s talk about detailed operational activities as we go.

“Yes, I understand, Chief of Staff.”

…He’s a teacher, but when he’s engaged in operations, he acts as a chief of staff and a subordinate. After this is over, I will officially join.

And take Aris as my disciple. And after Eris moved away, Anna asked me.

“Master, can you handle it?”

“Lorraine was even worse than that.”

Well, anyway, the wizard said he had to break his head to remember it, so he told me to try even if I failed and did everything to protect the surrounding area and created a laboratory. Of course, after building that laboratory, he was so stupid that all the barriers inside it were shattered in less than a week.

It synthesizes water and fire.

Where in the world is there a fool like that?

It was an unheard of idea, but it was the first time I realized that when opposites meet, they can cause a bigger explosion. Even that was not a combination of an aqua ball and a fire ball, but a huge explosion made with ‘enchantment’.

It gives the energy of water and gives it the energy of fire.

But the important thing is that it caused a huge explosion.

Later

Of course, I remember other professors asking me why I didn’t stop such a stupid thing.

I gave Lorraine my full support, ignoring the comments made by idiots who couldn’t recognize a true genius, and in the end, she became a really great wizard. Above all, due to the nature of his magic, he had to be physically strong in many ways, and in fact, his body was much weaker than his magic knowledge, so the main training was to increase his physical strength.

And the little boy trusted me to help him find his way, and I repaid that trust by teaching him everything I could.

Lastly, graduation ended with me going to catch the devil.

…

“…Yes, she is a bitch who is hostile to the church in order to clear the name framed against her teacher. It’s not enough.”

And I saw Gawain.

And I reached out to my brother.

When I held out my hand, Brother Gawain also took my hand.

“Let’s give it a try for the first time in a long time. This is the clue to revival that we finally found. I will ask you to treat me well this time too, Brother Gawain.”

“Okay, thank you again this time, Clark.”

So Gawain joined us, and I once again began descending toward the Akashic Records sleeping underground.

-Phrygia, entrance to Gehenna-

Freesia.

And the entrance to Gehenna.

Witches dispatched from Elvenheim who guard the entrance to Gehenna.

No, to be exact, the elves from Elvenheim became witches, and they also had a deep relationship with Gehenna.

Mira – Dawn Bringer. In order to get rid of her, they laid a trap for her, but of course, according to the reports of other elf witches inside Gehenna, not only Clark, but also the Mira-Dawn Bringer was inside. And it is said that Carnetia – Dark Hand has also been confirmed.

That’s why Alicia is here now.

“…”

-The Dark Hand appeared? If that bitch shows up, you have to catch her. Are you just running away from it? If you run away even after seeing that traitor, are you really the elite of Elvenheim?

And countless Elvenheim Rangers following Alicia.

And even the guardians.

-Even though you are my daughter, you run away after seeing the traitor who should have been arrested as a descendant of Elven Haim. It’s a shame.

Alicia felt each of her mother’s words of reproach to her become a dagger and pierce her own heart. A lot of her hair has already fallen out, and her previously abundant hair has fallen out to the point where her scalp is exposed. People passing by look at the elf in amazement, but they are immediately startled by Alicia’s stinging gaze and walk away. They don’t think they will hear, but Alicia does. It was a very audible voice.

-Wow, do elves also lose hair?

-Do you think you will have good luck today? Those unlucky elves, they say they don’t have any bald heads… But hehe, they all live the same.

I want to chase him down and kill him right now. And Clark, who put this curse on him, Gawain, Carnetia, who shamed him, and even the princess of the demon world.

They will all be killed.

“Princess, this.”

The Elven Witch guarding the Gates of Gehenna pulls out her green orb on Alicia. And Alicia, who received the sphere, spoke to the Elven location.

“…This gives you the power to hit them, right?”

“Of course. It is an elixir passed down only to the Elven Haim royal family who inherited the ‘Blood of the World Tree’. It is an elixir that can give you great power, but instead…”

“That’s enough. If you can kill those damn lowly servants and traitors.”

The way he took it from his hand as if taking it away.

And a smile appears on the Elven Witch’s lips.

And a very evil smile.

“Please, I hope you achieve your desired goal.”
