Finished.
I had no choice but to admit it when I saw the hero pierced by the devil’s spear.
I quietly lowered my head.
“It’s over. “It was my mistake to suggest that idiot as leader.”
The saint answered my words in a hollow voice.
“Yes, I’m annoyed. I’ve used up all the resurrection spells, so there’s no way to revive me anymore. But the idiot in charge of the team’s military power is dead? “This is over.”
At those words, the High Elf and Fairy King asked me with a miserable expression.
“Is there really no other way, Michail?”
“doesn’t exist. As the saint said, the resurrection magic has already been used up, and the hero is definitely dead.”
It’s not called a ‘hero’ for nothing.
The only hero who possesses the strongest military power and at the same time received the power to kill demons from the temple.
But that guy died.
The Beast King asked me.
“Mikhail, you are a great mage of the 9th Circle. What other magic have you prepared? … .”
“We have prepared magic, but it is all prepared under the assumption that the hero is alive. “Once the hero is dead, these things have no meaning.”
“… … “Tsk, damn it.”
He clicked his tongue.
No matter how ignorant he may be, he would know that the current situation is not usually hopeless.
“Anyway, this is why I said from the beginning that you should be the leader. “It was stupid to entrust that idiot to be the leader.”
“that… … .”
With a bitter smile, I briefly recalled the past.
Originally, I was a ‘hero’s tree’ chosen by God at the same time as the hero.
But I gave up.
Because I didn’t think I was qualified. But now I had no choice but to admit it.
That it was my mistake.
“… … “Anyway, the chances are slim, but we can’t just not try.”
I sighed softly and looked ahead.
Demon gods and their descendants are destroying the surroundings at will.
There is no way to beat them.
But what can you do?
No matter how unlikely it is, if I give up here, the world will end.
“Finally, I will prepare the magic. The probability of success is low, but I have no choice but to try. However, it takes some time… … .”
“I buy time. “I will try my best, so please take care of it.”
“Then I will cover from behind while he holds on.”
“Hehe, good.”
After receiving the Fairy King’s words, the Beast King pulled his arm up and threw it away.
An attack filled with enormous power swept through the enemy’s lines.
But it didn’t last long.
Their numbers were too great, and even he could not have overwhelmed that many on his own.
He eventually met his end with his entire body crushed.
“Now it’s my turn.”
After that, the enemy’s teeth were directed towards the High Elves.
He tried to stop the enemies somehow using spirits and a bow, but it was not enough, and his head was eventually blown off.
“… … “Mikhail.”
With a bitter voice, the saint lowered the staff she was holding.
“Really, thank you for being with us so far.”
“… … “That’s me.”
The saint chose suicide as a last resort. She died in an explosion along with hundreds of demon god’s descendants.
“Is it just me now?”
The great magic of the 9th circle was completed only after everyone died and I was the only one left.
“<Meteor Strike>.”
A huge meteorite fell from the sky and devastated the surrounding area.
The army of demons baring their teeth at me all around me disappeared without a trace in an instant.
but.
Okay.
It proliferates as much as it disappears.
In an instant, they were filling up the place again.
Of course, it’s not that I didn’t know this would happen.
It could be said that it is impossible to change this situation with any magic I have.
However.
“It’s different when it comes to time.”
If you’re going to die no matter what you do, wouldn’t it be right to struggle until the end?
If I die easily, I don’t have the courage to see my comrades who went before me.
‘Ha, I never thought the day would come when I would risk everything on the outside world.’
No matter how much the 9th Circle is, it doesn’t have the power to distort the world’s common sense.
But Circle 10 is different.
Even if you choose to have an affair, if you can step into that state even for a moment, you will be able to do it even if it is an ‘impossible task’.

‘Break the circle yourself and liberate everything.’
In order to step into the 10th circle, even for a moment, I had to give up everything I had created so far.
Kwasik.
The moment I made my decision, the circle inside my body broke.
“Huh… … !”
Everything I had created so far broke and exploded.
Uncontrolled mana begins to run rampant within the body.
Pain hits my entire body, as if I would lose my mind at any moment.
Be patient. Hang in there.
With trembling hands, I somehow created the magic formula and barely finished it.
This is only a theoretical area, and has never been attempted before.
“become… … Wind it up.”
The time we went through.
Ruined events and sacrificed heroes.
The many failures we made.
Within.
Magic appeared at my fingertips.
Whoa!
Pure white light filled the surroundings like an explosion.
But I couldn’t finish it.
‘Damn, is there a difference… … !’
It’s magic that costs everyone’s lives, but even that isn’t enough?
Gooooo!
The demon’s fist approaches right in front of us.
But now I don’t have the strength to avoid it. There was nothing more that could be done with the broken circle.
“… … Ah, damn it.”
Unfinished magic.
But still.
‘Just in case.’
if.
If this ‘last struggle’ of mine succeeds, even if imperfectly.
‘I won’t make the same mistake.’
I will never entrust the position of hero to an unqualified person.
We will not entrust our lives to an unworthy person.
I repeated to myself.
and… … .
Kwasik.
My vision went dark.
* * *
“young master!”
I suddenly opened my eyes to the sound of a voice.
An old man in a robe was looking at me with tears streaming down his face.
A familiar sight.
A face I saw so many times as a child.
“… … butler?”
“Yes, that’s right! This is Butler Myrdin! Are you okay?!”
“hmm.”
I looked around.
There are no shabby ruins anywhere, and of course there are no demons or anything to be seen.
This is the room I stayed in as a child.
“… … “Huh.”
Was it really successful?
I tried to just let it happen, but I never thought it would actually work.
I roughly moved my arms and legs.
It moves pretty well. There is no discomfort and my senses are fine.
If so, there is only one thing to check first.
“butler. “What year is it today?”
“Yes, yes… … ?”
“I mean the date. date.”
“Are you sure you’re okay? You have a headache… … .”
“It’s okay, so tell me the date quickly.”
“Yeah, that’s right, it’s April in the 32nd year of Tehern.”
Tehern’s 32nd year is 20 years ago.
It was certain. My last gamble paid off.
Return magic.
The success rate is extremely low at 1%, and so little is known about this magic that it has even been given the name ‘Incomprehensible Art’.
But I never thought this would be successful.
‘I was really lucky.’
I got up from the bed and reflexively looked at Mana.
3 circles.
There are just three rings.
The number is too shabby to be the circle of the heirs of the Imperial Magic Master, Marquis Walpurgis.
“Tsk, it’s only 3 circles.”
“Master, if you have a headache, you should tell me in advance.”
“Oh, I heard it’s okay.”
I answered roughly and scratched my head.
But something is strange.
“what? What kind of bandage… … .”
“Don’t you remember that either?”
“Wait, wait, I think I’ll remember. “I’ll try to guess, so stay.”
At this time, it’s something like tying a bandage around your head… … .
“By any chance, the suicide show I did whenever I was depressed?”
“… … yes?”
“Well, not really. Wait a minute, I’ll guess. Just wait. Otherwise, the candidates are pretty narrow… … .”
Ah, I remembered.
It’s either this or that.
“Oh, you tried to force Eilen to break off the engagement, but then you got hit on the head and passed out?”
“… … .”
“Looking at the reaction, it’s true. I understand.”
Yeah, that’s all there is to it.
Eileen Lindell.
There’s no way you can’t remember. Because she was engaged to me until she was 20.
The butler, who was looking at me with a shocked expression, said blankly.
“Master, I will find a good mental doctor. Please wait a moment… … .”
“Oh, kinda.”
I roughly stopped the butler and got up. As I approached the mirror, I saw my youthful appearance.
Not a single wrinkle.
It was so different from what it looked like before returning that it didn’t even feel real.
“It’s good to be young.”
“No, what… … .”
The butler looked at me like I was some kind of poor guy, but it didn’t matter.
I moved on to the main topic.
“Butler, so what was the reaction from the duchy after I showed that indecent behavior to the princess yesterday?”
“No, there hasn’t been any reaction yet.”
“There was no reaction… … .”
Laughter flowed.
“… … Ha, yes, I guess so.”
Is there any way to react?
They themselves would not be in such a confident position.
“… … yes?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
I waved my hand at the butler and told him to leave.
“Are you okay?”
“I said it’s okay. I have some things to clean up on my own, so go out for now. “I’ll call you later.”
“Then I understand.”
The butler said that and then spoke to me again as if he was anxious just before leaving the room.
“Master, can’t you tell me you’re going to the princess?!”
“… … Okay, let’s go!”
How bad was my credit rating when I was 20?
* * *
After the butler left the room, I immediately checked my condition.
‘As confirmed, Circle 3.’
However, it was difficult to see it as a proper 3rd circle.
The woven links are unstable and it would not be surprising if they broke at any time.
This is evidence that the circle was not formed properly.
I want to be seen as 3rd circle, but I don’t want to put in any effort… … Could it be said to be the result of somehow weaving together vegetables?
It was one of my mistakes as a child.
“I had quite a hard time because of this.”
The circle made up of wild vegetables has been constantly harassing me for several years… … .
“We need to stabilize the circle first.”
I immediately sat cross-legged.
There is no way to normalize an inherently unstable circle in an instant.
But who am I?
Wasn’t it Mikhail Walpurgis, the great mage of the 9th Circle?
It’s as simple as this.
‘In general, mana circulates in the right direction and forms a ring based on that direction.’
That’s how a circle is born.
Directionality is an important factor that affects the properties of mana. The correct direction known at this point is clockwise.
But I interpreted it differently.
Mana circulates around the body and gathers at the heart to form a circle.
Then, the ‘direction’ doesn’t necessarily have to be in one place, right?
‘That interpretation was correct.’
The interpretation was correct.
Thanks to that, I was able to use magic more efficiently than anyone else and reach the 9th circle.
<Autonomous circulation>.
An insane training method that creates circulation points throughout the body and causes mana circulation 12 times at once.
Now I will do that.
“Whoa… … .”
I closed my eyes and observed my whole body.
After checking the circulation points in each body, they began circulating mana.
Then the already uneasy circle creaked.
But I expected this much.
There is no way that a hastily created 3rd circle could function properly.
“Ugh… … !”
In normal cases, it wouldn’t have been surprising if my entire body had exploded due to excessive circulation.
But it’s familiar.
Before the regression, I was constantly repeating this as if it were my daily life.
12 locations.
Mana was spread and circulated throughout the entire body. Heat boiled up at each circulation point.
’12 circulation points must be circulated at the same time.’
It spread to both arms, legs, and shoulders. A passage that was previously unopened is forcibly opened.
Damn, it hurts so bad.
But the fact that it hurts is proof that mana is flowing normally.
There are still 10 areas of pain.
There are two places left.
Head and abdomen.
It is also the most important place.
‘The most efficient way is to constantly recall and connect memories.’
I remembered.
That bastard. A man who carried out the heavy responsibility of being a warrior and did everything wrong due to his self-righteousness.
Siegfried.
– Mikhail, I cannot allow unnecessary killings!
How many territories fell to the demonic army because they said such things and showed mediocre ‘mercy’?
‘We can’t repeat the same mistake this time.’
At that moment, the mana in the head and abdomen began to circulate.
That was the beginning.
Mana circulated in 12 places throughout the body and the heart circle responded. Then, stabilization of the incomplete circle began to progress.
‘This is fine.’
It’s not bad for the first time I tried autonomous circulation with this body. However, my pride does not allow me to settle for only the 3rd circle.
I decided to go a little further.
Ugh.
In the process of expanding the area and circulating it, the remnants of mana that remained were collected to form one more link.
4 circles.
“Whoa.”
After that, my entire body’s energy began to stabilize.
On the surface, it may seem like nothing has changed, but if you look closely, it is completely different.
After a while.
After safely completing the self-circulating diet, I slowly opened my eyes.
Then I checked my body.
It has definitely become cleaner than before.
“Not bad.”
I nodded with satisfaction.
* * *
“… … “He woke up?”
The Marquis Walpurgis twitched his eyebrows and stood up.
A great mage of the 8th circle and the owner of the master magician Marquis Walpurgis.
The butler answered those words.
“Yes that’s right.”
“Okay, what did you say as soon as you woke up? “If you even try to find that damn princess, I’m going to break my leg.”
“Uh, um… … .”
Hearing the Marquis’ words, the butler tilted his head with a subtle expression.
‘How should I explain this?’
Originally, it would have been asserted.
They might visit the princess again, so we have to take some serious action.
But what should I say?
“Honestly, I’m a little lost on what to say.”
“… … hmm?”
A strange look appeared in the Marquis’s eyes.
“If you had tried to do something like that, I would have reported it to Your Excellency without delay.”
“But that wasn’t it?”
“Yes, what should I say?”
The attitude the master showed at that time.
How should I express it?
“It was poisonous.”
“What does that mean?”
“therefore… … .”
The butler continued.
“You seemed a little angry.”
