Chapter 86 - A Wrong Encounter (3)

“Mmm?Did I leave the fire on at home?”

“My wife is nearing the end of her pregnancy.I shouldn’t be going to the pub right now.”

“The war shouldn’t affect this place, but there is no downside in being careful…….”

The surrounding people were slowly vacating the street.The people had not sensed the grave mood of the party.They weren’t exiting, because they were being courteous.A powerful magic had taken control of their perception.A powerful suggestion was being hammered against them.It said, ‘If you don’t immediately go into a building, something really bad will happen.’

It was basically akin to assassinating the will of hundreds, maybe thousands of humans.It wasn’t something a normal human could pull off.Even an Archmage over level 300 would have a hard time accomplishing this spell.Yes, it was a show of power that suited the Demon race.

However, the magician that created such a grand sight didn’t pay attention to the retreating humans.

She glared straight at Artpe.She was on guard against him.

“You are powerful.You possess an authority that cannot be resisted against……What is your purpose in coming to this land?”

The small girl’s face slightly crumpled when she felt Artpe’s magical energy.However, she didn’t retreat.Instead, she asked him a question.There was fear and a slight hostility towards him.The weakest emotion he could feel was curiosity.

Somehow, he had to establish an amicable relationship with this girl.However, Artpe had no idea how he would be able to achieve this.A sigh automatically slipped out.If the amount of times he sighed corresponded with his wealth, he would probably be ranked as one of the richest man on this continent.

Why did he have to achieve his goal as soon as he came ashore?Moreover, it happened in the worst possible way!In his past life, this girl should have been in her tower at this point in time. She should be in her room spending her day in a tedious and boring manner….

However, this only applied to the girl from his previous life.The flow of history was running in a completely different direction now.He was already well aware of this fact.She was the ultimate reason why he had stepped onto this land, so it shouldn’t have been strange to see the Archmage Regina reside in this port city.

“Oppa, are you sure it is this kid?She’s really small.”

“······she is small.Is she perhaps another rival?No, Artpe said I should grow quickly….What should I do?I’m so confused!”

Sienna and Maetel started to prattle on to their heart’s content.However, their words didn’t reach Artpe’s ears.It wasn’t visible, but he was too busy competing with the girl with Mana.

Up until now, no one had been able to compete with Artpe in terms of how much Mana one possessed.The fact that she could contend directly with him in terms of magical energy meant he didn’t even need to bother gauging her ability.She was one of the best.

‘Yes, her abilities were already complete to a certain degree at this point in time.That is why I wanted to join up with her as soon as possible…...’

In his past life, the magician Regina was in charge of AOE damage dealing within the hero’s party.When the hero’s party invaded into the Demon King’s castle, she still possessed her small physique.

She was currently wearing a similar robe to Artpe.The black robe covered her entire body, and the hood was covering her face.No matter how much one tried to look at her face, one could only see her golden eyes.A normal person would not have paid attention to her.She looked like a small kid wearing a musty robe.

However, it was different for Artpe.In front of his eyes, no one could avoid his observation.

He could see her.He could see the magician Regina.Her face, slender body, Record and her nature was revealed to him.

[Name : Regina De Patreta Elocants Rodelrote]

[Class : Winter Magician]

[Level L 250]

[Strength : 125 Agility : 125 Stamina : 125 Magic : 1,750]

‘She has 1,750 Magic at level 250.It is immense even after seeing it once before.’

Of course, Artpe has reached level 280, so his Magic was close to 2,300.It was too simplistic to say that he was much stronger than her.Artpe possessed the special magical energy of a Hero Class, and he had learned numerous skills.He had also inherited the Mana characteristics of a Demon.This was why his magical energy had experienced such overwhelming growth compared to other magicians.

If he was to get to the point, Regina’s magical energy status had reached a high rank territory that no other humans had ever reached in the past.The past hero’s party was able to carry out such acts of brutality, because she possessed an idiotic amount of magical energy.

It was the same for Artpe too.

“Hello.The weather is great, right?”

“There is a snowstorm forming right now.Majority of humans try to avoid such weather.”

“Your response is quite dreary.”

In his past life, she had reached a territory that should have been close to impossible for a human to reach.A girl, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, had reached it.

She wasn’t like Artpe, who had returned to the past through his special Innate Ability.

How was this possible!

The answer was simple.

She wasn’t human.

[Race : Demite]

Demite was the highest of Artifacts that possessed its own will.It could gain level and Class.She was a golem that was made out of Demite.This was the Archmage Regina’s true identity.

If one didn’t have the Read All Creation ability, no one would have never been able to guess this.

A golem was made with the priceless Demite!

Moreover, the golem developed into becoming an Archmage!

If he had been a normal hero, he wouldn’t have known what she was.He would have adventured with her over the long years.Initially, she would be unable to express herself emotionally.However, he would notice her heart slowly change over the years, and when he realized this fact, he would be happy.Then he would start to dig in into the truth about her.He would find out her buried past or her secret, and he would despair.Despite her being a golem, he would accept her even though she was a golem.Their relationship would advance, and he would take another step in becoming a true hero…….

It would have been a great opportunity of growth for the hero.

However, Artpe possessed the Read All Creation ability.He didn’t have to go through all that.He had seen through to the truth from the start.

This was why his relationship and mental attitude towards her wouldn’t grow.He wasn’t moved nor inspired by her.Regina was just a golem.Artpe simply acknowledged the fact that a golem had appeared in front of them.That was it.

He probably had to tell Maetel and Sienna about her, so they wouldn’t be shocked by this fact.

So what if she was a golem?It didn’t matter if she wasn’t a human.Artpe treated everyone in a fair manner in thought and action. They were either his enemy or his ally.If possible, he hoped Regina would be in the latter category.

.

“Mana response detected.Search….Unadvisable.Resistance….Unadvisable.Recalculate possibility of running away.Unadvisable.”

Did she detect his use of the Read All Creation ability?After suddenly spouting such words, Regina slightly lowered her head.She looked crestfallen.Artpe smirked as he raised boths hands.

“You already know this right?We hold no hostility towards you.”
