Reincarnation of the Warrior Party Archmage

“Now I will explain how to thwart the enemy’s plan.”

The scale of the reinforcements Yuliana had mentioned was beyond imagination. No, it would be more correct to discuss the rank rather than the scale.

Three incense burners were placed on the altar in the chapel of the sanctuary, and each spiritual body rose from them.

Dean of the Rivendell School, Dadan Karain.

Rekair, the leader of the investigation team dispatched by Musinyeon.

and… … Milone Alter Gaumris, the strongest soldier in the human race, showing off a presence that is too overwhelming to be called a human being.

It is said that the reason Yuliana left Sinhwabong was to cross the continent and meet them.

– I had no one to trust.

That meant that there were few trustworthy witches, and at the same time, none of the witches would have been able to reach their destination without escaping from Lu Zhaihe’s clutches.

Yuliana handed over the enemy faction organization and law circle layout map that Valensidis had delivered in detail to these three factors.

If Yuliana’s Northern Republic witches, Dathan’s Rivendell School magicians, and Paquore’s 300-strong army and 30 or so ronin from the Musinyeon investigation team were added, the number would be considerable.

[But is the opponent really him?]

The dean, Dathan Karain, asked in an incredulous voice.

“Only the gods know his exact identity.”

Yuliana lightly drew a line and began to explain.

“The sub-members of Bangjin were installed in a total of three places. Jiseonbong Peak in the northwest, Hwayeonbong Peak in the south, and Yeomgyeongbong Peak in the southeast.”

[…] … !]

“The ceremony begins at midnight on the last day when the moonlight is dimmed the most, that is, after 14 hours, and once it starts, nothing can stop it. We have to stop it before that.”

Yuliana didn’t bother to say anything. That the young dragon would be used as the core of the power to activate the magic square.

It is said that only Yuliana, who received the revelation from the water dragon, and Milone, who received an order from the cardinals, knew for sure about the guardian of the dragon.

“It is said that Nariaduk, a servant of the Queen of Time, will wake up as the ritual proceeds. One of the old nobles who were called the Triple Hyeon. Tragedy will happen.”

[…] … !]

“The ritual can be stopped only when all three magic squares are neutralized. Even if even one of them works normally, the ritual will continue… … .”

I bit my lip helplessly.

Then the same tragedy will befall Shar’kath’s awakening. By Turaina’s hand.

Milone Alter Gaumris opened his mouth.

[I heard that almost half of the witches in the North Republic are joining the enemy, is that true?]

“It is true. To be exact, it would be two-thirds. They’ll be guarding the square. Even if the authenticity is not certain, Turaina is an idol to us.”

[Ha, they say the age of dragons is over, but isn’t the age of witches also coming to an end? There are so many Golbin witches who have become thugs of the abyss by following the ghosts of the past?]

When Rekkair, the leader of the Musinyeon investigation team, let out a provocative snort, Yuliana smiled bitterly and replied calmly.

“Lekkair, you are still young. You must have only heard about the era Turaina lived in without experiencing it yourself.”

[What do you mean by that?]

“Tureina, like Lord Friede’s disciple, used that power for everyone. Even after stepping down from the shrine maiden’s position. I defeated the monsters, made a cure for plagues, and when famine struck, I comforted the sky and let the water fall.”

[…] … ?]

“All the witches of my generation grew up benefiting from that miracle. Most of them became witches with the hope of living such a great life someday. That’s why it has been followed. Not the abyss, but the person named Tureina.”

[However, the probability that it is the real Turaina is close to zero. Actually died 10 years ago! There’s a 99% chance that it’s fake, so you follow it?]

For some reason, it was Milone who cut off the context of the conversation that seemed to hover in the air and pointed out the core.

[So, how are you going to punish Turaina? What if it was the real Turaina?]

Yuliana glanced at me.

Since I didn’t use the magic of spiritual body separation, they couldn’t hear my movements or even my voice.

Yuliana is now confirming for the last time the will and will I heard before this meeting started.

“… … It captivates at first.”

Yuliana transferred my words to the spiritual bodies as if they were her will. There was no resistance whatsoever.

“No interrogation, no killing.”

[yes?]

“Because interrogating her and ruining her body or burning her at the stake seems like a waste of her talent and achievements.”

Silence fell for a moment.

Each of the spiritual bodies took a bewildered gesture as they watched Yuliana.

“First of all, as I said earlier, Turaina’s influence is absolute, and I think it can be used to bring the now divided Republic back together.”

Know.

I know what Turaina did. I know… … .

[No, that’s right, but… … Is this such a simple matter? I don’t know if the South Republic, which has become a complete mess, will come together, and if it’s the real Turaina, what has been done so far… … !]

I’m really selfish

I want to meet him, I want to talk to him again, I want to save him somehow… … This kind of heart is more advanced than anger.

I even feel disillusioned with myself.

“So you’re saving it. It’s too easy to kill and interrogate. I will use that power to make atonement for the world, and then let the water dragon pass the judgment.”

[…] … !]

“Of course, if you say that you have fallen to such an extent that there is no possibility of such a conversion, by my own hands… … .”

I couldn’t bear to say the words, “I’ll kill you.” Just like me, Yuliana chewed her lips painfully and said this.

“… … I will finish everything.”

The water dragon said that it left me with the right to decide. Perhaps knowing that, Yuliana did not question my judgment.

Valencidis only stared at me with eyes stained with bewilderment, but for the time being, he did not show any reaction.

Dadan Karain asked in an absurd tone.

[End of Tureina? Yuliana, is that possible with your own strength? The opponent is a three-legged witch who uses 5-star magic and psalms, and is also a person who has risen to the level of a great wizard.]

Reckair’s resistance, which confirmed the extinction of not only Dadan Karain, but also the Celestial Sect, was on the strong side, but it was Paquereor Milone who put an end to the uproar.

[The water dragon ordered the cardinals to delegate the first decision making to Yuliana, the priestess of the stars. So for now, let’s do as we wish.]

Now that Gwangryong has withdrawn from the front lines, the meaning of Peyquire is the will of the Beophwangcheong.

That alone was so strong that it could not be resisted, but there was an oracle of the water dragon. To raise an objection to the divine dragon’s will was like blasphemy.

It didn’t take even a moment for everyone’s backlash to subside. As the silence fell, Milone looked at Yuliana, no, at me, who would not be seen by her.

[So what should we do, Yuliana?]

* * *

The temple was in an uproar with the movements of witches busily preparing for battle.

Excluding those who turned into black witches like Allene from ＜Aurelinople＞, almost all of the most elite red witches of the Northern Republic gathered here at the order of Yuliana, the priestess of the stars. The number reached four hundred.

I, too, barely moved my incomplete body and put on Ceresia when Valencidis sighed and approached.

“I saw that parrot in ＜Aurelinople＞ friendly calling Turaina by name.”

“Call, call, call.”

Valencidis hesitated uncharacteristically for a long time before coming up with an interesting guess.

“Yes, that ridiculous genius, and the feelings you had when talking about Turaina earlier… … You must have been someone like Tureina’s disciple, right?”

No, he was my pupil.

my first disciple.

I left it on the other side of the time of 300 years ago… … It was a waste of time to even reply like that, so I silently bent down and tightened the leather straps on my boots.

“And that sun parrot is probably the real Pippi from the Legend of Heroes from 300 years ago.”

“Genuine, genuine, genuine.”

“I know I don’t deserve to say this, but… … You must have heard everything from Yuliana. The Turaina over there right now is not the Turaina you remember.”

As I was tightening the thong on the other boot without replying, Valencidis couldn’t contain his frustration.

“Listen. Turaina did not accept the power of the abyss, but only uses it, so she must sacrifice her humanity in exchange for that power.”

“humanity? humanity? humanity?”

“Memories, emotions, everything that makes a person a person. Tureina is using that power for immortality… … In return, you don’t remember most humans. If you don’t see him for a month, you’ll forget him.”

Yeah, that’s what it was.

He smiled bitterly.

I guess it was because of that reason that I forgot the texture of my soul, the fipi. You haven’t completely sold your soul to the abyss yet.

“Right now, Turaina’s twisted desire for Rin is nothing more than her skin. After watching, decide whether to kill or save? I know you’ve become incredibly strong, but this is a choice—”

“—Valensidis, I’m not going to decide whether to kill or save Turaina.”

Was he curious about my sudden snort, or was he surprised by the cold voice that surprised even himself?

“I’m going to decide if I can live.”

After saying that and ending with a miserable smile, Valencidis fell silent. Instead, someone else pretended to be popular.

“You haven’t finished preparing yet, what are you lingering about?”

The guy who appeared with a small sword scabbard hanging around his waist and a shield tightly tied to his wrist, letting out miscellaneous rustling sounds… … It was Miria.

Valencidis raised an eyebrow.

This time, even I, who had not shown any emotion throughout the conversation with Valencidis, couldn’t help but tilt my head.

“What are you doing?”

“What are you doing, you don’t have to go to Shinhwabong.”

“That’s not allowed.”

“No, no, no.”

I don’t know why such words came out instinctively. Maybe they didn’t want to take them to a place where they didn’t know what kind of fears and dangers might lurk there.

“You’ve already been paid. There is no need for this.”

wherever it is

As long as you’re alive, that’s enough.

“no? Aki means a lot to me too. You entrusted it to me, but I couldn’t keep it.”

“No, that… … The opponent was the opponent. It’s not your fault.”

“Is that so? Even so, if you really want to save Aki, you’ll need my help. I know the mountains of the Red Mountains like the palm of my hand.”

When I was speechless and only stuttered my lips, Miria smiled at me for the first time as she put her index finger in front of her lips.

“And in the Empire, if you have a high status, you can give orders so simply, but this is the Republic and I am a legitimate free citizen. If you don’t want to follow the Constitution of the Republic, take them to hell without a constitution and then give them orders.”
