569 Episode 569: The Magic Crest of Reconstruction.txt




Hmm, so the main topic of this conversation is about Alfazul. Well, then, it's the people concerned who should be on the front lines, not me, that should be speaking to each other.

 His Majesty Alfred said this and stepped back as if it was natural.

 Gandalf, the Demon King, does not seem to blame His Majesty's actions, and seems to be taking it as a matter of course.

 The party in question is namely me.

 I've been standing behind His Majesty's huge presence until now, but now I'm finally going to face the Demon King Gandalf directly.

 Aaaaah--I haven't felt such a sense of urgency since.

 I'm sure you'll recall that at the end of the Demon King's War, Gandalf himself demanded my power ...... or what seemed to be the residue of the power of Alphasul that dwelt in me, and I fought a deadly battle with many of my friends.

 I gently control Garnett, who tries to step forward as if to protect me, and literally stand at the head of everyone in this place, looking into the cold eyes of Gandalf, the Demon King.

 Maybe it was my imagination, but I felt a tingle behind my right eye.

 Even if it really is some kind of reaction to the effects left behind by Alfazul, I want to tell him to pull back for now.

 This is my role. This is what I have to do.

 I'm not going to be able to find out from the king's prestige, much less the benefits of Alphasul, but it's the truth that I should know when I face the demon king myself.

'...... Demon King Gandalf. I have heard that that 'human' who had many names and was called Alphasul by you guys, died with the fall of the ancient magical civilization. So why does a part of that power reside in me?

 If we're going to talk about Alfazul, we have to make sure that this is the only thing that matters at all.

 That's what started it all.
 It is the direct cause of my life changing forever.

"Alfazul killed the divine beast Fenrir. That is true, as you well know. But Alfazul wouldn't have been prepared for the resurrection.
If you're asking me what would be ...... you wouldn't know about Alfazul when he was alive.

 Even though I understand that it's useless, I'll put it into words in a nutshell.

 Maybe it's because he is a being who has lived for a long time, but Gandalf's point of view is sometimes divergent from that of an ordinary human like me.

 He seemed to be trying to fill in the gaps as much as possible, but the gaps seemed to be exposed like this from time to time.

It's a special magical crest that is the means of resurrection that Alfazl possessed ....... I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about it.
'Don't tell me that some wizard or someone else had something like that etched into my body: ......
That's just the way it is. It would be impossible for a human being on earth today to even recognize the microstructure of the object being stamped.

 Gandalf declared that the means of resurrection provided by Alfazul were not feasible in modern human hands.

'And it's not just a matter of chopping it up,' said Gandalf. It had to be someone who had the wherewithal to recreate all of Alfazul's personality and power ...... recorded in the form of magical crests.
It's ......, so we had the means to do it, but we couldn't bring it back until now. ...... Is that what you mean?
'Right. The means themselves were shared by several dungeons, but none of the humans in any of the dungeons had been able to find the right element.

 Even Demon General Norzuri is no longer as capable of fighting as he used to be since he started using the body of a dark elf woman to replace his lost original body.

 Even more so in the case of Alphasul: ......

...... Wait a minute. From the way you were talking earlier, it sounded like you weren't replacing your soul with another body, unlike the resurrection of the Four Demon Generals of the Demon King's Army.
That's right. That's right. Alfazul does not survive on his soul alone. He is dead in every sense of the word, and he can only rise from the dead by means of his own hands.

 There is nothing else to do but to rage.

 I thought there were examples of guys who could kill and come back to life, the Demon King Gandalf and the demon generals under his command, but in the case of Alphasul, it's far from that.

 The soul that resides in the body alone will continue to exist, and by transferring that soul into a new vessel, it will be resurrected - this is impossible with modern human technology and magic, but the logic itself is within the realm of what you can imagine.

 However, Alphasul is a mindfulness that comes back from the loss of even a soul.

 I have no idea what that means.
 It's not just the skill with which he perfected the theory, but the thinking that went into it that is so frightening.

If I were to use a metaphor, the magical crests left behind by Alfazl are the 'structure diagram' of the body and soul. You can imagine the construction of a discarded work of art, recorded and written down to the last detail, and then 'reconstructed' as recorded using new materials: ...... Can you imagine if I expressed it this way?
"Yeah, ...... certainly comes to mind. ...... but it's ...... like .......

 I cover my mouth, which is twisted in anguish, with my left hand, and try to somehow replace the thoughts that have popped into my head with words.

 Everyone else may not have noticed yet.

 But I did notice. Because I was a party to it.

"Based on the 'record' ...... of Alpha-Zulu's body and soul, the 'material' of another human's body and soul is remade to 'restore' the being called Alpha-Zulu, based on the 'memory' .......

 As long as I have the memory of the shape of the object to be restored and the right quality and quantity of materials, even if it's only a half-formed body - my 【Restoration】 skill will surely be able to restore it to its original state.

 And the means of resurrection that Alfazul said he left behind was clearly an extension of that logic.

 I've never tried 【Restoration】 of a soul - but there's no reason to believe it's impossible.

 It would take half of the original constructs to restore it to its original form - but that borderline has gradually improved with the increase in the skill's sophistication to where it is now.

 There was no room to deny the idea that had popped into my head.

''This is just like my [Restoration] skill, isn't it ......!
