80. Return, Possession
“Return and dimension shift… ….”
This came to mind when I heard Kazar’s words. The noise of memories that I could not see disappeared, like images from a torn and damaged film, and voices lingered in my ears.
「Turn it back.」
「The witch’s slave…… 」
「Your soul will be damaged, kilkkil.」
「I found it.」
「I command you with my engraving. “Get out of here.”
“Ah… ….”
As I stood there and stared blankly into space, Kazar tilted his head.
“Over there?”
I am checking my condition by waving my hand in front of my eyes.
“Is there something bothering you?”
“… ….”
When I didn’t respond, Kazar started reasoning on his own. He placed his hand on his chin, narrowed his eyebrows, and narrowed his eyes as he stared at the floor.
“I can’t imagine what purpose such bizarre magic was created for, such as regression and dimensional movement. “I don’t even know how this magic circle was put together.”
I felt like I realized something after listening to Kazar’s words, but I can’t think of anything more than this. As if the truth was blocked by an invisible wall right before our eyes.
Something is blocking the direction of my thinking.
“Do you have anything in mind?”
“There is, but… ….”
“Then tell me. “There is too little information.”
I couldn’t speak easily. I think I know, but isn’t there something that I can’t think of and can’t explain in words?
My situation is exactly like that right now.
“This…” I do not know. I can’t explain it in words. “It won’t come out of my mouth.”
I watched a movie. I also knew the contents. But I can’t provide commentary.
I read a book. I remember the content and the sentences vividly. But I can’t write a book report.
When I try to explain something or write a book report, my mind becomes a blank page.
“How should I explain this…” ….”
“Try to calm down first. “Let’s think about it calmly.”
The scenes that came to mind while I was with France and the voices I heard as synchronization deepened were combined.
But I can’t think beyond this.
“It’s frustrating.”
Kazar filled a glass of water, cooled it with magic, and handed it to me.
“Think slowly while drinking a glass of cool water.”
I took the cup of water and drank it down to cool my chest.
“Whoa…” ….”
“What do you think? Do you think you understand a little?”
“No, I’m still not sure.”
I shook my head and continued speaking.
“But this is certain. “The one who created this magic and engraved it on me was a transcendent wizard.”
Kazar’s eyes widened.
“Are you a transcendent wizard?”
“Okay. “There was also talk of a contract.”
From Noble mtl dot com
A master of magic that turns back time. A modern-day me enters the game and replaces Gene Barenberg.
Soul damage due to regression. The magic of dimensional movement. Everything fits together.
“But no matter how transcendental a magician is, this type of magic is impossible. Not only does it violate the law of causality, but it is also impossible with human magical abilities.”
Kazar lifted his chin with one hand and continued speaking.
“Time and space. Even mythical dragons can’t do magic that interferes with the dimension.”
Soon, he raised his finger and glared at me.
“But a transcendent wizard did that? It doesn’t make sense. “If you’re the king of dragons, it might be possible.”
So what did the transcendent wizard do?
Combining the words heard as the synchronization deepened, Jin told him to keep turning, and that the price he would pay was damage to his soul.
What if that transcendent wizard used Jin as her medium to use her magic?
“Kazar, I have something to ask you.”
“What is it?”
I made eye contact with Kazar.
“If a transcendental person like me is used as a medium, can a transcendental wizard use magic that interferes with time and dimensions? The price is the soul.”
Kazar’s eyes sparkled at my words.
“… I didn’t think of that. Certainly, it might be possible if a transcendent wizard uses the strong soul of a transcendental person as a medium to use magic. “The power of the transcendent is amplified over and over again.”
This has made it clear. It is certain that Jin and the Transcendent Wizard made a contract, and I became the target of that magic.
For the sole reason that I was the only one to clear the final true ending.
‘First of all, I know how I got in.’
But all I found was the starting point. The subsequent process and results are still shrouded in mystery.
“Now that we know the identity of the magic circle, let’s move on. “Do you even know why I feel such extreme pain?”
Kazar shook his head with pitiful eyes.
“Actually, I’m a bit embarrassed too. I thought the magic circle, pain, and conditions were related, but they were completely different…….”
Is the secret of synchronization unknown? Well, this is a bit far from magic. Isn’t it like a game system?
“Still, I’m glad I know this much.”
That was when I got up from my seat and tried to move. “Wait a minute,” Kazar said and grabbed my wrist.
“What is it?”
As I looked, Ka-Zar narrowed his eyes and shook his head.
“… No.”
“What is it? I’m curious.”
Is this what it felt like to be taught the method of making someone curious about the person I’ve been doing? Something feels uncomfortable.
“I’m going now. “I had a hard time figuring out my magic circle.”
“Yes. It didn’t help much…….”
I came out of Kazar’s house with a bitter smile.
I have been with France for half a year so far. Let’s just hold on for half a year more.
Once a year has passed, the promise will be kept and I will be able to leave without any regrets.

Jin left, and Kazar looked at his back attentively.
“It is certain that the engraved magic circle and everything shown so far are related.”
Kazar looked back and forth between the ancient magic book and the magic circle he had drawn. And he began to reason by combining the words Jin had said.
Jin has a magic circle that interferes with time and dimensions engraved on his body, and knows a suspicious amount of information.
And the relationship between the transcendent and the transcendent wizard.
“… I get it.”
Kazar smiled.
“I never thought that would happen.”
I couldn’t even imagine it. A being that not only crossed dimensions but also time.
‘But there is a contradiction here.’
It is a being that has crossed time and dimensions, but its soul is intact. No matter how much of a transcendental person is said to be the strongest in history, it is normal for him to be in tatters.
‘And looking at your reaction, it seems like your memory is also incomplete.’
This greatly stimulated the curiosity of a wizard named Kazar. I want to study him right away, investigate the engraved magic circle, and ask for various information, but…….
‘It would be impossible’
Although he couldn’t help but regret it, Ka-Zar shook his head. Because we can’t capture that transcendent and force him to study it.
“… Well, let’s keep this a secret only I know. “Let’s decipher the remaining runes.”
How long has it been since we started deciphering the ancient magic book? Kazar finally succeeded in deciphering the last page.
The magic in the ancient magic book brought by Jin was a series of surprises.
Starting with magic that binds the soul, magic that interferes with time and space. And even magic that touches life and magic that goes against the law of causality.
This world was full of magic called taboos.
“It would be crazy to write this.”
No matter how curious and studious a wizard Kazar is, he distinguishes between what he can do and what he cannot do. Would you use such magic knowing what kind of consequences would come later?
Dalkak. Kazar carelessly placed the ancient magic book on the bookshelf and devoted himself to the research he had put off.
“… But the princess will never see that, right?”
This is a magic book containing the magic of soul binding that France was looking for. It’s a dangerous act to leave things like that, but…….
‘It’s written in runes, so you won’t be able to read it.’
Kazar ignored it.

According to information, Belserk is a bar run directly by Exceed.
Seldas was sipping expensive golden liquor in the inner room.
Recently, we have been conducting business together with Princess Descartes and have made great profits, and her contract has also been concluded successfully.
The troublesome Zenbukoros was destroyed, allowing the area of activity to be expanded.
This made Seldas smile.
“I never thought that stupid princess would be this helpful.”
It was merely a whim when Seldas gave Princess Descartes the news that Jeanne Varenberg would be her slave.
He always gave me a lot of money and only bought useless information, so I gave him proper information once.
But that small snowball brought huge benefits.
“You can become a successful person in this world.”
Seldas chuckled and sipped his drink. If things continue like this, controlling all of the empire’s underworld will not be a task.
At that time, I was smiling at my best.
“Master.”
An executive from Exceed came to visit.
“What’s going on?”
Seldas’s brow furrowed. If an executive comes to visit in person, it is not normal. And it’s not good news.
“Several executives from ‘Mook’ in the Sahara were smuggled into the empire.”
“… “Mo-ok, who has been quiet until now, smuggled an executive into the empire?”
“That’s right. “After tracing the information, someone hired them.”
Seldas’ eyes darkened.
“It would not be an ordinary nobleman to hire them. They must be close to great nobles or imperial family. “Did you find out exactly who it was?”
Exceed’s executive shook his head.
“I’m sorry. I haven’t figured it out yet. Because Mook’s information defense is so strong… ….”
Seldas said, “Hmm.” While doing so, he put his arm on his desk.
“I don’t have a good relationship with Mo-ok.”
The ‘pearl’ of the Sahara country.
Among the guilds gathered on the continent, the most powerful guild is ‘Mook’.
There are many Sword Masters who have awakened Aura and many high-ranking wizards. In addition to this, there are also powers whose identity is unknown.
The master of the gem is a person called the Transcendent.
No matter how Exidra is the empire’s best dark guild, I want to avoid contact with them.
“I can’t even guess why they are coming to the empire.”
Seldas opened his eyes shallowly.
“How many people smuggled into the country?”
“Seven.”
“Could it be Chilseong?”
“That’s right… ….”
In an instant, Seldas’ eyes widened.
“All the Seven Stars are coming together?”
Chilseong is the core force of Mook. Each of them has a power close to that of a transcendental person, and when all seven come together, a weak nation will be devastated.
“First, keep an eye on the saint and the crown prince.”
Exceed’s executive tilted his head.
“Are you talking about the saint and the crown prince?”
“Okay. “Mo-ok’s illegal entry into the country at a time like this makes no sense.”
This is the time leading up to the wedding of the crown prince and the saint.
No matter how powerful the Sahara Mother’s Guild is, they are not stupid enough to cause trouble against the Empire.
I’m sure it’s related to those two.
“Whoa. “I was wondering if things were going well recently, but suddenly Mo-ok came to visit.”
Seldas stood up and took a sip of his drink.
“Anyway. “The investigation will focus on the saint and the crown prince, and even the movements of the Seven Stars of the Mother of God will be investigated.”
Exceed’s executive disappeared into a shadow, leaving behind only the reply, “Yes, I understand.”
‘I guess I should tell that guy too.’
Jean Barenberg. If something unpleasant happens, you need to get help from this guy.
Mook and Exceed have not been on good terms for a long time.
‘It would be a good idea to write down Jeon Seo-gu first.’
Seldas immediately took out the war book and scribbled with his pen.
【Chilseong of the Sahara’s Pearl Guild has smuggled into the empire. There is a suspicious smell in the air, so be on high alert…… 】
Unlike usual, the content is quite long.
It was a big deal for Mo-ok to come.
“Tsk.”
Seldas clicked his tongue and got up from his seat.
Here, I have no choice but to step forward myself.
