nThe Great Mage Returns after 4000 Years – Chapter 102 – Lord

nTranslator: Seven

nEditors: Ana_Banana, Yahiko

nThe Circle members, including Sheryl, continued following the Sword Demigod.

nThey almost lost track of them a few times, but somehow, they were able to catch up.

nThough catch up might not have been completely accurate.

nTo be precise, they’d only managed to catch up because they had stopped on a mountain near Lufei and didn’t move from there.

nStill, they didn’t dare get too close even though they had stopped on a mountain.

nBecause there was still a chance that it was a trap to catch them.

nDue to this, they camped out a distance away from the mountain and monitored it from afar.

n

n

nThe pursuers were deeply puzzled by their subsequent actions.

nFor some reason, they were attacking camps located on the mountain.

n“What are they doing?”

n“I think this is one of their old outposts.”

nOnly Jerome Berner’s expression was strange.

n“This place… is where they conduct the slave trade.”

nHe knew the affairs of the country better than the others because he himself was a citizen of Luanoble.

nAlthough there were no bodies left in the places destroyed by the Demigod, they were able to ascertain what was being done in those places because of the cages and other tools.

nHe also knew that the country had been going down a very unsightly path recently.

nHowever, the exact location of this place had never been revealed.

n‘I would never have thought that they were doing this right next to Lufei.’

nJerome’s face was stained with shame.

nFortunately, his companions didn’t have the time to care about the corruption in the Luanoble Kingdom.

nThis was because the Demigod’s actions were too strange.

n‘What the hell are they planning?’

nAnd just as they were getting a headache trying to figure out what was happening.

n“That… how…”

nShepard’s jaw dropped.

nThe same thing happened to the others.

nThe sky, which had been normal just a moment ago, was now split open.

nThis sight made it hard for even Shepard, who was a 7 star Wizard, to maintain his composure.

nSheryl was the only one who managed to keep her cool.

nShe simply bit her lip with her sharp fangs, showing that the experience that came with age wasn’t for naught.

n“We’re in trouble.”

n“Why do you say that, Rounder Sheryl?”

n“Being able to see this phenomenon means that we are already within the boundaries of that Demigod’s domain.”

n“…that means…”

n“Right.”

nSheryl’s expression was severe.

n“We cannot leave until the Demigods’ meeting is over.”

n* * *

nFrey suddenly felt a wave of heat.

nBut it was strange because it didn’t actually make him feel hot.

nThe heat came from the sky.

nA huge being completely made of fire in the shape of a man appeared among the clouds.

nHis figure was burning fiercely as though he would burn the whole world.

n“I told you about him before, didn’t I? He is one of the beings you call Apocalypse.”

n“…”

n“From now on, be careful with your words and actions. In fact, it would be better if you didn’t say anything at all.”

nFrey nodded.

nAs Riki said, it was better to keep his mouth shut than speak and reveal a clue.

nRiki shot him a glance before looking toward the sky.

nAgni, who was even larger than the mountain, slowly began shrinking until he was the size of a normal human.

nIf he was like a transcendent being made of fire before, now, he was like a normal human man with flaming red hair.

nFrey had subjugated and exterminated many Demigods in his time, but it was the first time he’d seen such a sight.

n‘He can change his size this much?’

nHe thought about it for a moment but soon realised that it wasn’t that strange.

nBecause Dragons also had the ability to change their shape and size.

n‘Maybe Riki can as well?’

nWas Riki the same?

nFrey was curious, but he couldn’t ask in this situation.

nThis was because Agni had already approached them.

nTo his right was a figure wearing a robe and mask just like Frey.

n“It seems you were the first this time.”

n“Right.”

n“Hmm… but it’s a bit unexpected. I wouldn’t have expected you to already clean this place up.”

nCleaning.

nIt seemed that he was talking about Dalaman and his men who had been staying on the mountain.

nRiki answered bluntly.

n“I did it because I was already nearby.”

n“I see. Anyway, good job.”

nThen Agni turned his eyes to Frey.

n“Is this your Apostle?”

n“Right.”

n“Hmm. Indeed.”

nAgni nodded before walking to the side.

n“He should be able to withstand seeing Lord face to face. You got a pretty good one.”

n“I see you finally made an Apostle.”

n“Right. I struggled a bit to get this one.”

nAt that moment, the figure who was standing behind Agni turned to glance at Frey.

nThe moment their eyes met in the air.

n“…!”

n“…!”

nThey both felt the other person’s shock.

nThey then looked away at the same time and pretended to be calm.

n‘Why are they here…?’

nHe couldn’t even begin to imagine the reason.

nBut he was certain that he knew the person behind that mask.

nFrey hurriedly fixed his expression.

nFortunately, Agni didn’t seem to notice Frey’s shock.

nHe just walked past him and into the castle.

nFrey wanted to tell Riki about it, but now wasn’t the time.

nSuddenly, a huge gale blew, and Frey’s expression stiffened.

nHe felt three overwhelming presences at the same time, and at that moment, he found it hard to even breathe.

nThe space seemed to twist, and before long, three figures stepped out.

nA young woman with blonde hair, a Skeleton and a wrinkled old man with a hunched back.

nLeyrin, Nozdog and Ananta.

nFrey realised that he had some history with all three of them.

nLeyrin was the puppeteer who was pulling the strings of the Blake Family from behind the curtains. She was the reason ‘Frey’ could use both divine power and mana in the same body.

nNozdog tried to bait the traitor by using Oydin, and he appeared as an illusion in front of Frey before Oydin died.

nHe had felt the pressure of his aura at the time, but it was nothing compared to meeting him in person.

nAnd Ananta was one of the Demigods he’d fought against when he was Lukas.

nAt that time, Lukas, Schweiser, Iris, Kasajin and Lucid could not defeat this ‘monstrous old man.’

nOn the contrary, Kasajin had been inflicted with his poison and was bedridden for a month in a near-death state.

nOf course, they had succeeded in doing some damage to Ananta, but defeat was defeat.

nIt was even more shocking since at that time, Lukas and his party had only just started building up their confidence to fight the Demigods.

nCompared to back then, Ananta didn’t look much different except for the fact that his clothes were different.

n“I don’t think we’re too late.”

n“Kukuku. I can’t believe Agni beat us. How surprising.”

nAnanta smiled and spoke in his phlegmatic voice as he looked at the castle.

nHe could feel Agni’s power within it.

nRiki looked at them with folded arms.

n“The three of you came together?”

n“Yeah.”

n“What for?”

n“I heard some interesting information from Lord, so I came to see if it was true.”

n“…interesting information?”

n“I’ll tell you when the meeting starts. I’m sure you’ll like it.”

nLeyrin smiled as she said this, but Riki couldn’t help but feel anxious.

nNozdog, who hadn’t said a word since they arrived, looked down from the mountain as he said.

nThere are intruders.

n“What?”

nJust that. There are intruders trying to enter the barrier. No. They’re already in… that’s strange.

nNozdog’s blazing eyes turned to Riki.

nI don’t believe that you, who are the most sensitive among us, did not sense them. What’s going on, Riki?”

n“…there have been a lot of things I’ve had to worry about, so my senses have been dulled lately.”

n…

nAfter a moment of silence, Nozdog nodded.

nIf it’s coming from you, then it must be true.

n“…”

nThen I shall go take care of the rats.

n“Will you be okay? Won’t you get penalised?”

nLeyrin said it, didn’t she? We heard something really interesting from Lord.

nAt that moment, Frey couldn’t help but feel that the skinless skeleton in front of him was smiling.

nEverything has been confirmed. It will be very fun and exciting.

nThen Nozdog disappeared.

nFrey followed his presence. Fortunately, he was able to clearly see outside of the castle.

nAnd he immediately became confused.

nBecause there were hundreds of Knights in black armor standing in a clearing.

nRiki muttered.

n“…they came here with Warp.”

nHe said it as though he was explaining to Frey.

n“I didn’t think they’d send the Black Dragon Knights. It seems they valued the Marquis’ business more than I expected.”

n“Riki. Luanoble is your territory. How could they set up here without your knowledge?”

nIt was Leyrin who answered Ananta’s words.

n“This territory. It’s been hundreds of years since he left. The path this country took is quite the spectacle. Did you know, Riki? The reason Lord wanted to meet in Luanoble.”

n“No.”

n“He thought it needed cleaning.”

nLeyrin pointed toward the Black Dragon Knights.

n“This is the beginning.”

nNozdog was standing in the sky, looking down at them.

nThe Black Dragon Knights noticed his presence, and they began to busily prepare, but nothing could save them anymore.

nThey couldn’t damage Nozdog, who was in the air, with their swordsmanship.

nNozdog, with a relaxed motion, stretched out a finger, and a clump of black energy began gathering at the tip.

nShuk.

nThe black energy then separated to form hundreds of small black spikes.

nFrey realised the number of spikes matched the number of Black Dragon Knights exactly.

nThe spikes then accurately pierced through their helmets like paper.

nThen the Knights, who stood there for a few moments after their deaths, collapsed in unison.

nThat was it.

nIn an instant, all of the Black Dragon Knights had been annihilated.

nThis is death.

nAfter muttering contentedly, Nozdog’s body flashed and reappeared beside Riki.

nRiki had an incomprehensible expression on his face.

n“Even if you could withstand the penalty… isn’t it too much to kill hundreds of people?”

nHuhu. We won’t have to worry about that anymore.

n“What?”

nRejoice, Riki. We have finally found the possibility of evading god’s punishment.

n“…!!”

nFrey’s expression twisted behind his mask.

nRiki’s surprise was no less than his.

nIt was then.

nCome inside.

nFrey’s entire body froze.

nIt was a voice he would never be able to forget.

nIt was a voice that sounded as sacred as hearing God’s call in a cathedral, but the owner of this voice was anything but sacred.

nFrey turned to look inside the smashed wall of the castle.

n

n

nBeside Agni, a being was silently revealing its presence.

nThe reason it was called a ‘being’ was because there was no other way to express it.

nIt had the overall shape of a man. However, its head was as smooth as an egg because it lacked any features at all.

nIt didn’t even have hair.

nThere was not a stitch of clothing on its body, revealing its strong masculine figure, and above all, white light was constantly being emitted from its body.

nIt looked exactly as it had 4,000 years ago.

nCome inside, my dear family.

nLord beckoned gently.
