Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~

Chapter 448 - Episode Ninety-Four - Red Dream (12)

We have safely defeated the Sky God Silfheim and the Red Dream he was carrying.

I’ve also confirmed that Count Julem is dead.

I’m letting the time pass by somehow recovering my magic …… By the time I’m able to move my body, I can return to Mea who is waiting in the wooden dragon Quetzalcoatl with “Gouma”.

There were some twists and turns but Mea’s problem with the Doom tribe is over and the Count Julem problem has been solved.

…… The only thing left to do is to destroy the evidence of the Abel Cannon in the magic wave tower and fool Kudor and Peter.

Lark is …… well, he will be on my side if I leave him downstairs.

That person won’t care about what’s done.

It’s a bit of a hassle since Euris is so serious, but she has a soft spot for Lark, the Lord, so as long as I get the head first, there’s no problem.

“Well, there’s still trouble …… but it’s nothing compared to the trouble we’ve been through.”

“…… Do you really think so?”

I heard Shame’s voice behind me.

Immediately after, I felt an arm tighten around my neck.

“Ugh!”

“You really did it, Abel Belek! After you’ve blown up most of our spirit bodies …… you even destroyed the “Red Dream”!”

My upper body was about to be submerged, and seawater entered my mouth.

I barely glanced behind me to see Shame glaring at me from close range.

She can’t maintain his human form, and half of her body is melting, but even at this stage, she looks like she could kill me.

I should have realized that Count Julem hadn’t died instantly.

I used “Gouma” to boost my physical abilities and rip Shame’s arm off.

“Stop it …… Even I can take you with me if I use “Gouma” with the last squeeze of my magical power. Moreover …… Your purpose has already fulfilled. Even if you do something to me now, you’re just taking it out on me.”

I’m not trying to be tough.

If I really try, I’ll be able to defeat Shame even now.

The only thing is that I will lose my magic power that I’m using to float on the surface of the sea and rest my body while resisting the waves with “Gouma”, so there is a high possibility that I will sink to the bottom of the sea.

“It’s selfish of me, but …… Shame, I don’t want to kill you. If it weren’t for you and James, I wouldn’t have met Mea. Even if it was just an act, I was really happy that you were able to help me figure out where I should go and that you were so kind to Mea. For that reason alone …… I am grateful to you. Run away from Kudor as you see fit, and live in peace where we can’t see you.”

…… Besides, I don’t want to think that all of Shame’s smiles were an act.

Before kidnapping Mea, Shame apologized to me, saying she was sorry.

And there’s a chance that I would find Shame’s camp with that unnecessary comment.

It may have been a temporary friendship based on a conspiracy by the sky god Silfheim, but I still want to believe that there was a piece of the real thing.

“What ……!”

“But …… it is selfish of me not to kill you after all the evil you’ve been planning. If I hear of a spirit on the loose somewhere, I will definitely go kill you, no matter where you are running off to, as a result of my selfishness.”

I glared at her, and Shame shivered and pulled back slightly.

“You can run anywhere you want. If you’re worried that if you don’t finish me off in my weakened state, I’ll be able to attack you later, there’s no need to worry about that. I can’t vouch for Kudor, though.”

I stared at Shame in silence for a few moments.

“You’re just saying whatever you want, but you’re way off the mark, Abel Belek! It is true that we have lost our Sky God Silfheim, that was our main focus, and the “Red Dream” …… but I still have something else for you! We’re not done yet!”

“S-Something else for me ……?”

Don’t tell me …… after the World War, Moebius, the Sky God Silfheim, and the “Red Dream”, you still have a plan to fight against Kudor?

“Don’t think you’re the only one who’s special! Abel Belek, the Abomination of the Otherworld!”

I swallowed my spit.

I’ve been told by Count Julem that I’m an abomination of the other world before ……

I was wondering what that meant, but I couldn’t come up with an answer.

I couldn’t see any connection between Count Julem knowing that I was a reincarnated person.

“You landed on this world by accidentally being pulled by the gravity of the Moon Din to reincarnate Moebius. You have memories of another planet, don’t you? We didn’t think that a reincarnator would become such a dangerous bomb until James came into direct contact with us, so we left it alone for a long time.”

“A-As I thought, you guys were also involved in my reincarnation!?”

I’ve never been able to figure out why …… I was reincarnated in this world.

However, it is certainly true that the gravity of the Moon Din, which attracts souls, picked up my soul, which happened to be on the same wavelength, and blended it into this world.

It was a reasonable fact that there was probably no sorcerer who studied the soul more than the sky god Silfheim.

“Normally …… a soul is cleansed in the great flow of the universe and is reborn as an innocent baby without information. The gravity of the Moon Din was intended to collect the soul of Moebius before the purification. You’re not a god or a miracle, you’re just a foreign object that got mixed up in our system. So I can recreate it.”

“Recreate ……? Don’t tell me!?”

Everything connected in my mind.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while.

I was certainly a little more enthusiastic about magic than others.

Because of my experience in my previous life, I was able to engage in magical training during my childhood growth stage.

The training of magic by means of the Ortem is probably the most suitable training in the world for training the basics of magic, and the Marrens were blessed with a race characteristic due to their high potential for magic.

However …… if I may say so myself, it is extraordinary that I was able to obtain such a high level of magic power and magic skill just from that.

As part of my magical research, I have asked myself what the hell I am.

I had done as much research as I could on my own, but I hadn’t come to any credible conclusions.

Now I know the reason.

The soul of an otherworldly person, that was the foundation of my strength.

And Count Julem had noticed it long before I did.

“I wonder if Abel Belek, who has good intuition, understood? The Galshard Kingdom is already ruled by Gillemeim, who is the head of the church behind the scenes. Gillemeim is leading the charge to create a reincarnation that will recreate Abel Belek.”

In other words …… As a reincarnated sorcerer who was educated and brainwashed from a young age, James has more sorcerers than me.

“I’m sure the later reincarnations are just children who can’t even stand up yet …… but Gillemeim, who was in charge of them, is still alive. I am the Bunrei as him, so I know. If I kill you here, Gillemeim will be able to escape and make arrangements for you to stay hidden. I’m going to make a surprise attack on Kudor, who’s carelessly assuming that Silfheim is dead, and fulfill our 10,000-year wish!”

“…… It seems that no matter what, we have no choice but to kill each other here.”

I squeezed my magic power and threw Shame away with my “Gouma”.

Shame spun around in midair and tried to catch me on the surface of the sea.

“Abel Belek …… no, Abel-chan, let’s settle this prolonged ending!”

…… I don’t want to kill Shame if I could help it, but I have no choice.

I’ve got to somehow defeat Shame with what little energy I have left and tell Kudor about the escaped James and the reincarnation.

There’s also the possibility that James will take another hostage.

I can’t even let my guard down from here.

I turn to face Shame.

We both remain silent and stop moving.

I have to stand around and use as little magic as possible.

And …… Shame will probably try to fight to make me exhale as much magic as possible.

Shame blinks and lowers her stance.

She’s coming! Just as I was about to move, the surface of the sea at the midpoint exploded.

James, who I thought had escaped, was standing on the surface.

“G-Gillemeim! W-Why!? I thought you ran away for the reincarnation project!”

Shame shouted in surprise.

James held his head and shouted angrily.

“So, the reincarnation plan has long failed!”

“Wha-, failed……? No, I have not received any such report ……”

I wonder where did all her bravado go, Shame making such a pathetic sound.

“It is true that we did not go into detail about the progress of the project …… but I told Julem, you, Jeem, and Sim not to rely on it and not to include it in the plan! I continuing to do it just in case! The way I see it, that thing won’t budge even if we do it for ten thousand years!　We’ve got about two hundred people in the church right now, but they don’t have any magical power or knowledge that would be useful for magic! You’d think they’d at least be eager to practice, but instead, they’re all afraid of magic and try to keep away from it! It’s not that the reincarnators are crazy, it’s just that Abel Belek was a crazy reincarnator!”

“N-No …… that’s not true ……”

When Shame heard James’ words, she staggered on the spot and sank with her feet in the water.

A different kind of awkward silence ruled the scene.

“Um …… then how come I’m so strong?”

I asked in a respectful tone.

James’ forehead wrinkled deeply, and his eyes glared at me pointedly.

“If I knew that, I wouldn’t have spent a year training two hundred incompetents at this critical juncture before Kudor’s subjugation!”

James shakes his shoulders and yells.

“Y-You’re right.”

He took a few moments to catch his breath, then pulled himself back into a forward stance and pushed his glasses up with his fingers.

“…… At any rate, there is no reason for you to actively take on me and Shame right now. I will take Shame with me and see what happens. Since I will have to start all over again …… I will move on to the next time when you are not here. That is, in 1,000 years, 2,000 years, or even 10,000 years. It would be better if you don’t make a move as long as we’re hiding.”

It will take another 10,000 years. …… I see ……

In the beginning, Silfheim took 10,000 years to create the “Red Dream”.

It may not be too much of a hardship for the spirits.

“The spirits have a very long life, huh ……”

James, who had once made a face, glared at me again with a devilish expression.

James made a magic circle, and a limp Shame appeared in his arms, hugging him.

“Both Shame and I have lost a lot of strength. On the other hand, with what we have now, even Kudor won’t be able to find us if we keep running away. The last to laugh will be us, who have lived far longer than the humans, Abel-kun. Then …… we shall never meet again”.

James conjured the magic circle again and disappeared in its light.

It’s the teleportation magic.

I have no particular reason to follow where they’re going.

You can enjoy playing tag with Kudor at best.

“…… Well, I don’t care if it’s the grandchildren’s generation or not, I don’t care if it’s 10,000 years from now, just do your best in a time I don’t know.”

I muttered to James as he disappeared.
