The Great Mage Returns After 4000 Years - Chapter 377

Chapter V2C138

Lukas slowly descended from the sky, landing just in front of Sedi. Then, he looked down at the panting Sedi and spoke slowly.

“Thanks. For staying alive.”

“…ha. I’d appreciate it if you came faster next time.”

Sedi meant those words. Maybe it was because of Lukas appearance, but the tension in her body had evaporated. The little strength she had left faded away, and her eyelids drooped.

Noticing her fatigue, Lukas nodded.

“You can rest now.”

“…right. I’ll get some rest, then.”

Sedi lost consciousness immediately after saying those words.

She was very hurt, but at least she wasn’t at risk of dying at that moment.

“As expected, you act just like a human.”

This mocking voice came from none other than Nodiesop. His gaze swept over Lukas’ entire body.

Although he didn’t appear to be heavily injured, it couldn’t be said that he was in good condition. This was natural. After all, he had just exchanged blows with the Demon King.

‘But the fact that he came to this place…’

Did that mean that he’d defeated Kasajin?

No.

At the very least, Nodiesop knew that such a thing was impossible.

He knew just how powerful Kasajin was, and he also knew that Lukas would never use his full power in this universe.

Therefore, Lukas couldn’t defeat the Demon King.

Thud-

As if to confirm Nodiesop’s conjecture, Kasajin landed not too far away from him. His body was overflowing with thick devilish energy.

Incidentally, the position Kasajin took was, unfortunately, behind Nodiesop.

Nodiesop wasn’t sure if it was a coincidence or not, but the positions of Lukas and Kasajin gave the impression that they were surrounding him.

“You stopped your fight to come here. Did you decide to join hands?”

Although Nodiesop mentioned this possibility in a calm tone, his expression oozed negativity.

If his assumption was indeed true, then the person who would be at the most risk in this situation was none other than him.

However, the answer to his question didn’t come for either Lukas or Kasajin. Instead, it came from a third party.

“They didn’t.”

Boom!

A white bolt of lightning struck the ground, and someone emerged from the resulting dust cloud.

Nodiesop’s expression hardened, even more, when he saw this person.

It was Letip, the last Absolute to come to this universe.

“Why are you here?”

“Everyone else is here, so I came to see what you guys were up to. I’d feel lonely if I got left out.”

“…”

“It was a joke. Don’t make that face.”

Letip snickered slightly.

Nodiesop frowned at his attitude.

“You’re on Lukas’ side, aren’t you?”

“You could say that. If two Absolutes decide to join forces to kill Lukas, then as a neutral party, I have no choice but to help the weaker side.”

“Ha.”

Nodiesop sneered derisively.

His gaze turned to Kasajin.

“Demon King, didn’t you say that your goal was to kill Lukas? Why did it suddenly change?”

[My goal hasn’t changed. It’s just been delayed slightly. I’m still going to use all I have to kill Lukas.]

That absurd remark left Nodiesop speechless for a while.

[As for why I haven’t killed Letip… That’s because the Demon God didn’t want me to.]

“What?”

Demon God.

He was talking about the Black Horned Demon God.

Letip looked at Nodiesop with a smile.

“It’s the same for you, Nodiesop. The one you follow also wants you to follow my orders while we’re here.”

“…him too…”

He knew it wasn’t a lie.

No matter how laid back Letip was, he wouldn’t dare to do that.

To tell a lie about a Ruler? No Absolute could even imagine doing something so crazy.

…Except for a psycho like Lukas.

“What the hell for?”

[Letip will explain everything later.]

Letip shrugged his shoulders as if to say that it couldn’t be helped, but Nodiesop wasn’t so easily appeased.

“I don’t understand.”

“You, me, and the Demon King… all three of us follow different Rulers, and all of them want the Madman to die.”

It was incredibly rare for the Rulers to agree on something. Of course, that didn’t necessarily mean that they would work together. After all, just because they had the same goal didn’t mean they had to join hands.

“…if my Master has ordered that I listen to you, then I naturally will. However, does

he

need to hear what you intend to say?”

Nodiesop’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

“Wouldn’t it be better to just kill this guy before having a conversation among ourselves?”

“No.”

Letip shook his head calmly.

“Unfortunately, Lukas is the key to what we’re about to hear. Without him, the conversation can’t proceed.”

“…”

Nodiesop appeared unconvinced, but everyone else had already agreed. Nevertheless, the most decisive reason for his acceptance was Kasajin’s reaction. The Demon King, who was his only ally in this place, remained silent, so Nodiesop decided to not argue any further.

Letip calmly looked around at the group.

It seemed that these three Absolutes with completely different personalities finally understood.

“Then… let me get the tool first.”

Letip seemed to push his hand through space before pulling it out again.

When he pulled his hand out, in it was a human.

An unconscious, white-haired human.

A human that Lukas knew.

“Arid…?”

“That used to be its name.”

Letip spoke in a cheerful voice.

Anger appeared in Lukas’ eyes.

“What do you intend to do to him?”

“I have to use it.”

“What?”

Those who didn’t know Lukas wouldn’t have noticed that his expression became colder the more Letip spoke.

Absolute Letip.

Despite the volatile situation, he had suddenly appeared between Lukas and Kasajin in a bright flash of light.

In truth, Lukas was a bit happy when Letip first appeared. This was because he was hostile towards Kasajin. If he were to participate in the fight, he would be a useful card in turning this desperate situation around.

In fact, it was thanks to his appearance that he was able to come here so quickly, which allowed him to prevent Sedi’s death.

Nevertheless, Lukas wasn’t entirely sure about his intentions yet…

‘I can’t trust him completely.’

Letip wasn’t an enemy, but he couldn’t be called an ally either.

Ttak-

Letip snapped his finger.

In an instant, a bolt of lightning shot out from his finger and into Arid’s body.

“Ahhhhh!”

Arid’s body began to shake as he let out a terrible scream.

This lightning bolt was no ordinary lightning bolt. Letip had injected a portion of his external force into the lightning bolt. Had it been an ordinary mortal, they would have immediately exploded.

In that regard, Arid’s power was great. He was able to resist Letip’s external force to an extent.

However…

‘He can’t last much longer.’

If this continued, Arid would die.

Lukas looked at Letip.

“Stop.”

Letip responded without even turning to him.

“Why?”

“He might die if you continue.”

“That’s not for certain. I heard you had great faith in humans. Don’t you think he can withstand this little pain? Is your title of Human Saviour just for show?”

“Do not abuse the word faith.”

“Kukuku.”

Letip chuckled, but he still didn’t stop the flow of the lightning.

“Then you should try stopping me yourself. Though, I’m not sure if our two friends here would let you.”

“Sure.”

The actions that followed was something that even Letip hadn’t been able to predict.

Lukas really cast a spell at him after saying that.

“You really are a madman.”

As he dodged the spell, Letip recalled the name Lukas was given by the other Absolutes.

He didn’t expect that he would risk breaking ties with him and giving the enemy a chance just to protect a single human.

‘No.’

In a way, this response was natural.

After all, the reason he became an Absolute was to protect humans, so watching such a scene directly conflicted with his identity as an Absolute.

‘His independence really is strong enough to make one envious.’

Letip shook his head.

“Hey, hey. Stop. I was just joking. The Communicator won’t die from something like this. Besides, it won’t take that long… See? It’s already over.”

At those words, Lukas stopped attacking.

“Ah… u-, uhhh…”

Arid’s eyes rolled into the back of his head, and his mouth opened, allowing white mist to pour out. This white mist then gathered together before taking the form of a door that led to another space.

Letip looked at the door in admiration.

“Haha. It’s as amazing as I expected. I’ve seen quite a few Communicators by now, but this one is by far the strongest!”

“…what did you do?”

“Connected this universe to another universe… Well, it’s not another universe, per se, but more like a temporary dimension.”

“A temporary dimension?”

“Right. We should hurry. We wouldn’t want to keep them waiting for too long.”

Nodiesop’s expression hardened when he heard that.

He slowly turned his head and looked at the dimensional door.

“…do you mean that in there…”

“Right.”

At that moment, Lukas realised what he was about to say before Letip could even open his mouth.

“The Rulers.”
