Descent of the Legendary Archmage Chapter 179

Chapter 179

Incheon International Airport.

The long and long trip to the United States comes to an end.

I’m finally back in Korea.

“Whoa. I also like Korea.”

Departing from Incheon International Airport, on the way home.

I was staring at the unique night view of Korea.

Something felt new.

haha As it is the first night view in two months, it is natural that the feeling is new.

“Is it really okay to go to the dormitory? How about taking a good rest at your home for today?”

Mr. Seok-hyun, who was at the wheel, came out through the rearview mirror and made eye contact.

The emotions of regret and worry are transmitted as they are from the two eyes.

As the incidents centered on me were quite serious, it was natural for me to be concerned about staying in the dormitory alone.

“I want to be alone for a day or so. I’m going to go to my parents’ house tomorrow morning.”

“… … It seems that the dorms are more comfortable.”

“yes. Well, I lived for a year.”

He seemed to regret that I felt more comfortable living in the dormitory than at home.

“It must be natural. You’ve been away for a year… … .”

No, that’s not the case, do you think I’m implicitly reluctant to go to my hometown?

It seem to be like that.

“I am not particularly reluctant to go to my hometown. It’s just that my head is complicated. Dormitories are good for contemplation alone.”

“Do it. When I go back to my parents’ house, there must be a lot of people to bother with.”

“yes. It is not yet known that I have returned to Korea. There is a high probability that today will be the last time I can enjoy my alone time.”

“… … understand. I’m sure you’d better go to the dormitory now.”

Uncle Seokhyun smiled bitterly.

“Oh, since I’m in trouble if someone sees me on the way back to my dorm room, can I ask for some stealth magic?”

“yes. of course.”

Mr. Seokhyun nodded his head with an expression saying to leave it to him.

“It’s 3:30 in the morning, so I don’t think anyone will be there.”

“There’s nothing wrong with being careful though.”

“Yes.”

I looked out the window again.

The car is currently running on an overpass in extreme admiration.

A city that never turns off 24 hours a day. seoul.

Befitting its reputation, beautiful lights are scattered all over the overpass.

For a long time, I was just staring blankly at the night view of Seoul.

“tomorrow.”

how much time had passed

Passing by a bridge that shines brilliantly in five colors.

I spoke up again.

“Before going to my parents’ house, with older sister Se Ah… … Can I stop by Ji-han’s ossuary?”

“… … .”

Beyond the rearview mirror, Mr. Seokhyun looked at me with a surprised expression.

What are you surprised about?

Are you surprised that I called Shin Ji-han Ji-han older brother?

Or was he surprised to hear that he would go to the graves of the two of them first?

I do not know.

“yes. I will adjust my schedule like that.”

Uncle Seokhyun nodded with a confused expression.

I don’t know, but something sad. It was a reassuring expression.

* * *

After receiving care from Uncle Seok-hyeon’s stealth magic, he returned to his room without being caught by anyone.

The familiar scent of an old book.

The scent in my room that I smelled in two months welcomed me.

My heart is full.

I thought there was no kite like homesickness. It just didn’t seem like that.

I stood in front of my spit as it was.

And dive into bed with a fluttering heart as it is… … .

“… … wow.”

… … There was nothing to do.

I really wanted to jump into bed, but I couldn’t.

“It has accumulated a lot of dust.”

If I jump into bed right now, it seems like a month or so of my lifespan will be cut off.

The amount of dust accumulated to the extent that such a thought was natural was unusual.

I gently patted the bed.

I can feel how much dust has accumulated in the world, and I can feel it in my hands.

This isn’t dust, it’s like sand?

“haha.”

If I had known this would happen, I would have just applied for a cleaning service and went.

There were so many old books inside, so I marked [X] for the cleaning service and went. I regret it very much.

“… … I need to start cleaning.”

After putting the suitcase in the closet, I opened the window.

And while I was about to take out a hand rag that had been hung on the side of the bathroom and wet it with water.

“ah.”

Suddenly I realized that I was doing something stupid.

‘Why did I try to wipe the dust with a rag?’

Have you gotten used to it?

but. I’ve been cleaning my room with a mop and broom for the past year.

It was only natural that his hands would naturally go away with the mop.

I smiled bitterly and put the rag back where it had been hung.

Then, he went back to the room and moved the mana as it was.

‘Only the dust is accurately removed and separated.’

Mana filled the entire room.

The intangible mana that moved around according to my will embraced the thick dust filling the room.

‘And put them all together… … .’

Fluffy, fluffy.

A clump of dust quickly gathers in front of me.

oh my god. How dusty was this room? The size of the gathered dust clump was almost the size of my face. What’s even more shocking is that I haven’t cleaned all the dirt yet.

“… … hey.”

About 1 minute passed like that.

A lump of dust 1.5 times the size of my head was born.

I just put it in a trash bag and tied it up.

“This is it.”

Very satisfied.

Such detailed manipulation can be said to be the true value of the Bytenor style.

Probably, neither my father nor the masters of the Mage Tower would be able to have such fine control.

‘I must have grown a lot.’

It’s only been 4 months.

So many things have changed.

Feelings are new.

“Whoa.”

Extremely clean room.

I just lay sprawled on the bed.

Also my room is nice.

It is an ordinary room that cannot be compared to the hotel room in the United States where I stayed for the past two months, but the comfort is incomparable.

How comfortable it was, I wanted to sleep like this.

Of course, I didn’t really have a good idea.

Sleeping is just a waste, as the body doesn’t really need to sleep.

I just got up from bed again.

This is enough to enjoy the joy of returning home.

‘I have to report to Mimir first.’

I brought my right hand to my left shoulder blade.

Then, with the feeling of pulling the air, I moved my hand.

Chaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!

Master’s robe, ‘Aes’, was wrapped around my body.

And immediately after taking out Mimir’s book from Aes, he unfolded it.

“Mimir. I’m here.”

Now, the sofa has become Mimir’s reserved seat. I approached Mimir, who was lying face down on it and reading a book.

“Mimir?”

Mimir did not answer my call.

He is concentrating on reading a book with an expression as if possessed by something.

Two legs crossed rhythmically with flushed cheeks.

It was clear that everyone was enjoying themselves.

What kind of book are you reading so much fun?

I sneaked behind Mimir and checked the book Mimir was reading.

“ah. comic book.”

“… … !”

At that moment, Mimir’s body jumped like a live fish.

He stood up with an indescribable exclamation and looked at me with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

“Heir! I told you not to mumble in my ear! You were surprised!”

Mimir pressed his left ear and shouted with a red face.

“Oh sorry.”

Mimir hates blowing in his ear or anything like that. I knew it, but I was so surprised that the words came out of her mouth.

“eww. really. It gives me goosebumps.”

Mimir trembled, rubbing both of his ears.

Just thinking about it again gives me goosebumps.

Is it the kind of feeling that gives you goosebumps after hearing the sound of scraping the blackboard one after another?

“… … ah.”

Mimir, who had been rubbing his forearms like that, suddenly stiffened.

You seem to have seen something.

I slowly followed Mimir’s gaze.

“… … It’s torn.”

The book Mimir had just been reading was split in two.

It seems that she just tore the book while doing that frightening live fish dance.

“… … .”

Mimir’s head and shoulders sank. Sadness drips from the two groggy eyes.

Is it that sad that the book was torn?

“It can still be torn neatly and read.”

“… … what?”

Mimir’s head snapped and snapped. With her head half bowed, her neck twisted and her face turned toward me.

Its eyes are also shining brightly, something like a ghost.

“Can you still read it? Is that what the perpetrator would say?”

“… … no. You tore it yourself, but why did I… … .”

“That’s an excuse! my book! This comic book that I save every day and read twice! What are you going to do!”

Mimir was in tears.

I liked it enough to read it twice.

I didn’t know that.

“No, that… … uh. sorry. I’ll buy you a new one again.”

Mimir’s body suddenly stopped running wild.

“… … really?”

“then. it’s real I can buy as much as I want.”

What’s the point of a comic book?

“As the first limited edition… … ?”

I don’t think it’s just one volume.

It doesn’t matter what happened.

“If you want. I’ll get all the volumes for the first limited edition.”

A tear flowed from Mimir’s eyes.

“Looking at you reading it a second time, it seems like you’ve read it all. I’ll get you some other comic books as well.”

Mimir’s face brightened.

It was a smile like a flower.

“You promised?”

“huh.”

“That’s all right.”

Mimir laughed with a ‘hehe’ sound. Are comic books that fun?

‘It’s okay. Cultural content is something that develops as we move into the future. Is Mimir going crazy?’

For some reason, I think I will continue to bring comic books periodically in the future.

“Whoa. So heir. You came here, did you come back to Korea?”

“uh. It just arrived.”

“You came so soon? It must have taken a very long time to get there.”

“Well, this time it was just going through the procedures and omitting everything and just flying.”

It was only natural to arrive much sooner, as the extra 3-4 hours required for the check-in process were completely omitted.

“I see. Did anything happen on the way?”

“Nothing really happened this time.”

“okay? I’m surprised My nature is a troublemaker, so I thought something was going to happen.”

“Well, because I’ve solved pretty much everything.”

Everything related to Shin Ji-han has been resolved.

Tkish, who sided with Shin Ji-han and was targeting me, also died.

There was no room for trouble.

“that… What. escaped officer. did you say shadow? He said he left a very meaningful message. So he thought he might be up to something again.”

Mimir buried himself in the back of the sofa and stretched.

“Well, nothing happened. I’m glad. I’m glad~”

It was a gesture and tone that didn’t make me feel happy at all.

No, it was just an uninteresting expression.

“you… … .”

It was time to try to distract Mimir.

beautiful person-!

A small ball of fur jumped into my arms.

“Miho. Woke up?”

Shinsu. nine tailed fox.

After the Tkish incident, Miho, who had been sleeping all along, finally woke up.

Miho rubbed her face against my chest.

“Sorry for pushing you.”

Before he had grown up properly, he forced himself too much.

As a lacking owner, I was very sorry.

I don’t know if you know how sorry I am. Miho just held me in my arms and acted aegyo as if the world was in a good mood.

“Ugh. arrogant thing. He didn’t even wag his tail at me.”

Mimir rested his chin on his chin and grunted as if envied.

“hey. We met after a long time. Can’t I just give you my head?”

Mimir gently placed a hand on Miho’s head.

however.

widely!

Miho tapped Mimir’s hand with his tail.

perfect iron wall. It was a firm response, telling me not to even think about touching my body.

“… … It’s still really arrogant.”

Mimir pouted as he touched the back of his hand, which was tingling from being hit by the tail.

“Miho. Is your body okay?”

Miho ate, chewed, tasted, and enjoyed T’Kish’s corrupted spiritual body.

As much as I ate such impure things, something may have gone wrong with my body.

“It’s a corrupted soul, and when it enters his body, it is purified on its own and becomes an energy source. You don’t have to worry about that.”

“aha.”

I was worried for nothing.

“Oh, and I should have asked this too. miho and me Is this a first-time encounter?”

“huh. that’s right. The gumiho I met on the fifth page is just a remnant of the past, so I don’t remember him now.”

“As expected.”

In other words, I am old, but Miho is a first-timer. It was like this.

“Oh, and one more. I mean Factio. Isn’t there only one thing that can make a covenant? Besides Miho, other Shinsoo… … .”

Cheer.

At that moment, I felt a bloody force under my chin.

The eyes are so sharp and hot that it makes me sweat cold on my back.

I slowly lowered my gaze.

Miho is glaring at me.

It looked like he was saying, ‘Tell me one more time.’

“Even if I could make a covenant with a Shinsu other than Mi-Miho, I have no intention of making one. I want to know what it means.”

I desperately broke my horse.

Only then did Miho return to her original charming expression.

‘… … phew. thank god.’

In an instant, I felt a threat to my life.

Let’s not talk about that in front of Miho from now on.

“By the way, there is no limit on the number or number of contracts.”

Mimir, who was laughing like he was having fun next to him, spit out a word.

“… … hey!”

“why?”

What if Miho, who was at best relieved, gets angry again?

I slowly checked Miho’s expression.

beautiful person-

Miho did not show any different reaction. It seems that Mimir didn’t listen at all.

“… … bad guy. They completely ignore it.”

Mimir pouts again.

Of course, whether Mimir complained or not, Miho showed no reaction. You’d care more about the pebbles on the side of the road than that, right?

“Let’s see. I will definitely touch you… … .”

Mimir clenched his fists and pledged. I don’t think that’s ever going to happen in my lifetime… … .

Well, dreaming is freedom.

“after. Anyway, I’m sure I’ll have a safe return home. You’re going to start weaving the sixth loop right from today, right?”

Mimir turned his attention to Miho and focused his gaze on me.

“uh. It should be.”

I extinguished all the lights that fell on my feet.

South Korea’s security is not comparable to that of the United States.

From today, I plan to focus on the work to weave the sixth infinity circle in earnest.

“Then sleep.”

Mimir picked up the book he had left on the table and handed it to me as if tossing it.

“Read that book first.”

“The preparations are so fast.”

“Gorum. of course. It’s me.”

I stroked Miho’s hair once again and looked at the book.

[The 6th Infinity Circle, ‘The Ring of Awakening’]

Ring of Awakening.

It was the name of the new destination I had to go to next.
