‘The day will come when a wizard will come out of the Vistal family. I’m proud of you, Tanebello.’
Faded memories of the past rise to the surface.
Even after living for hundreds of years, the memory of the days when I thought that infinite possibilities, future, and glory would be together, which I had never thought of once, was the rocket thrown by Senichigua.
The days when I was not young enough. The locket containing the portrait of him before heading to the Magic Tower to focus on research and study was a keepsake of his parents.
‘Father... no, was it the mother?’
Since they were ideal parents with no angular spots, it is not strange even if it was a keepsake from either of them. That’s why I can’t remember properly.
Because of my concentration, Vistal’s fingers snapped when she saw that the magic she used to draw out her memories and transfer them onto the paper arbitrarily drew the faces of her parents, and the two papers quickly burned and disappeared. Since this act has already been repeated several times, intruders who are watching it from the side do not show any reaction anymore.
“It’s not just a convenient magic.”
At least it was Eldmia who opened her mouth. Surprisingly, he did not show any dissatisfaction or discomfort throughout the entire casting of the magic, and since he was the first to open his mouth, Bistal, who had been stung for nothing, opened his mouth unintentionally and poured out excuses.
“Memory is originally like that. In my head, I think it is clear and vivid, and I believe that I can handle my thoughts as I will, but the reality is completely different.”
At the same time, I glanced at him, but no other reaction came back, as if he was just expressing his honest feelings. However, the current situation itself was the worst to have an optimistic attitude with that alone.
Because Eldmia, who had the right to make decisions for them, had no reason to let herself live.
If you have a head, it is a conclusion that you can reach naturally. If he had been interested in his research, he would have robbed the Special Operations Department’s personal information rather than wanting it, so it’s right to see that the value of use disappears the moment he spit out all the information.
He’s still not revealing his identity, perhaps to keep his own declaration that he didn’t even introduce himself to the dying guy. It is said that if he had not heard Senichigua’s call, Vistal would not have even known his name until now.
The opponent is a person who uses two demons like slaves beyond limbs. No matter how bloated Vistal’s self-consciousness was, he did not think that his own abilities and values were higher than those of the devil. So, if you really want to save your life, you must make a last-ditch effort right here and now as soon as you get all the relics back.
‘I can... No, I have to.’
Scary to think of the only remaining means, the shape is drawn on paper. However, since it was a reaction he had already expected, Vistal calmly burned the painting without panicking.
Fortunately, no one found this strange.

It took quite a long time for the quack’s magic, which extracts memories and draws a montage, to complete all twenty faces.
“I will do my best to make sure that doesn’t happen.”
The appearance of a quack touching the half-collapsed god statue with a brief expression of will was superimposed into a transparent ghost-like man for an instant, almost simultaneously with Caruberos and Ingladio screaming from behind me.
“Keeeeek!”
“Hehehehe...”
It’s not that the two bitches suddenly go mad and have seizures. Suddenly, he was overwhelmed by the unknown divine power emanating from the statue, and he rolled his eyes and started a match.
Even if not as much as the guys, I was surprised this time too.
[Lord, master!]
I have already mobilized all my abilities, alerted myself, and warmed up my body. As soon as he entered into a full-scale engagement, he was planning to incapacitate him and threaten Ingladio to forcibly break the contract, so he had gathered everything from magic time to usable level of divine power.
Nevertheless, the divine power emanating from the god statue is very sudden. I was worried that my senses had been blurred for a moment, but judging from Este’s bewildered reaction, it seems that it was true that something special had been done to that statue.
“Aren’t you curious why the wizard made the ruined temple his laboratory?”
I honestly had no idea. I just thought it was because the remaining buildings were like this. In fact, the remnants of the city around it were not even a proper roof left. Judging from his reaction, it seems that there was another reason for that.
Even though no magic was cast, numerous magic circles are created around the statue, and the overflowing divine power begins to rush into the quack’s body. The worn-out robe he was wearing somehow manages to hold its shape, but the skeleton within it crumbles or cracks and sparkles with a dark blue light, just like that of an undead that has suffered divine damage.
Just looking at it, it looked like it would explode and explode at any moment, but it didn’t. Fortunately, from there, I could quickly understand what kind of reaction was happening to him.
“Bastard, you must have been more talented as a gambler than a wizard.”
So, I immediately fixed the esthetic and dug in with all my might.
[[I...]]
As all the spells in the artifact box are released, the soul and magic contained in it permeate the quack. The power that flowed in like that wrapped around the whole body to restore the body of the unforgivable undead from being destroyed by hitting the divine power.
Precarious balance. imperfect harmony.
[[I am...! The archmage, Tanebello Vistal...!]]
The quack threw a gambler that became a demilich to break the situation.
