Sponsored Chapter!
I crossed the gate and an intense headache attacked me.
I held my head and by the time I noticed, I was inside pitch black darkness.
I couldn’t see anything, couldn’t hear anything.
I felt like all my senses were taken away.
I don’t know if my eyes were open or shut.
Am I breathing or am I not?
How much time passed?
It might have been an instant, or maybe a long time.
I couldn’t even notice that I had lost consciousness.
◇◇
The moment I woke up, I was in an unknown place.
There was a rainbow colored barrier around.
(Is this…the spell of Ira-sama?) (Makoto)
I lightly pushed the barrier with my finger, and it crumbled without making a sound.
Looks like it was set to be undone the moment I woke up.
When I looked around, what was reflected in my eyes was an unduly vast wasteland.
There wasn’t enough grass for it to be called a prairie, and there weren’t enough trees to be called a forest.
A wasteland that hasn’t been tended to.
I don’t remember this.
Is this 1,000 years in the past…?
I look up at the sky.
It was covered in pitch black clouds.
The light of the sun isn’t coming down, and the whole world looks ashen.
(Pitch Black Clouds…) (Makoot)
The sight of the Dark Era that I learned of in the temple was spreading before me.
This is without doubt 1,000 years in the past.
(…Noah-sama.) (Makoto)
I call her inside my mind, but there’s no response.
I opened my Soul Book.
The words [Goddess Noah-sama’s Apostle] are gone.
The Spirit User Skill I was given is still there. The dagger on my waist is also proof that I was the believer of Noah-sama.
(I had no acquaintances in this world…) (Makoto)
My memories of the time when I left the Water Temple and began my journey alone.
No, I could have returned to the Water Temple if I felt like I couldn’t take it.
Also, I knew that Fuji-yan was in Makkaren.
But here…I don’t even have a place to return to.
Uneasiness gradually began to rear its face.
…[Clear Mind].
Calm down.
“Let’s search for Savior Abel…” (Makoto)
Move forward.
Stop thinking unnecessary things.
It is okay. I am sure things will go well.
◇◇
“I don’t see a single person though…” (Makoto)
My monologues grew in frequency.
I have been walking around for several hours already.
I saw wild animals here and there, but I haven’t met a single human.
I am getting depressed.
Or more like, is there no town or village?
Where am I?
Ira-sama said I should be appearing somewhere in Rozes, but this place doesn’t match any part of my memories.
If only I could at least find the Shimei Lake that is at the center of Rozes, I could tell my location…
At that moment…
“…..?!”
“…..~.”
I heard a conversation from afar.
Yay, humans!
I was about to run there, but I stopped myself.
…This is currently the Dark Era that’s ruled by the Great Demon Lord.
There’s the chance it is demons.
Rather, the chances of that are high.
“[Stealth].” (Makoto)
I erase my presence and slowly get closer to the source of the voices.
Fortunately, the grass of the wasteland is tall, so I could get close just by crouching.
With Eavesdrop, I listen to the conversation.
“Hehe~, this is my prey. I found it.”
“What’s with that? Don’t say something so stingy. Give me half.”
“……Ah! …S-Save me…”
The conversation I heard couldn’t be called refined by any standards.
A miss, huh.
“[Farsight].” (Makoto)
There were 3 people.
One is a young girl.
She is trembling most likely because of fear.
The remaining two…are monsters.
One is a chimera, the other is a griffon.
They look like normal monsters, but they are talking fluently.
…Monsters could talk 1,000 years ago?
“Then, I will get the upper half.”
“Aah, not fair. The lower half is hard to eat.”
The two monsters seem to be having a discussion about how to share her.
The girl couldn’t move at all from pure fear.
At that moment, letters showed in front of me.
[Will you save the girl?]
Yes ←
No
That time when I left the Water Temple and when I fought goblins for the first time passed through my mind.
I didn’t hesitate in my choice.
“XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (Spirit-sans, Spirit-sans, lend me your strength).” (Makoto)
(((((((Okay~!!!)))))))
When I called the Spirits, I received a response that surpassed my expectations.
As if they were waiting impatiently for this moment.
A massive amount of mana gathered in an instant.
The air trembled and the ground shook.
Crap, I gathered a bit too much mana!
“What? Who are you?!”
“Oi oi, is a human planning on going against us?”
The monsters obviously noticed me.
The two monsters were coming at me at an astounding speed.
I was thinking about hitting them with a surprise attack like I did with the goblins a long time ago though…
I messed up here.
…Well, fine.
“Water Magic: [Ice World].” (Makoto)
I shoot the spell at the two monsters.
“The weak water mag—”
“I will first bite off your head an—”
Those were their last words.
The result of freezing even air itself was the completion of two ice monster statues.
Not only that, the plains that could be seen in the whole area to the trees had been frozen.
…Hmm, the power has been higher than my estimates for a while now.
But let’s leave the details for later.
I ran to where the young girl is.
“U-Uhm…”
“We are running.” (Makoto)
If we stay here, the chances of other monsters coming is high.
I pulled the trembling hand of the little girl and left that place.
◇◇
We ran for a while and it seemed like we could hide in the shadow of a tree, so the little girl and I stopped there.
“Are you okay?” (Makoto)
When I asked this, the girl nodded.
Her age is around 10-12, I think.
Unkempt black hair and tattered clothes.
But when I look closely, I can tell that she has a cute face.
“Uhm…why…did you save me?”
The little girl asked with scared eyes.
I don’t really have a reason though…
I was troubled in what to answer, and the little girl continued speaking.
“The monsters that you defeated are affiliated to the demon lord army. Their comrades will notice the abnormality, and they will begin searching for the culprit. When that happens, you will be tortured till death…”
The little girl had a pale white face.
I see, so they were part of the demon lord army, huh.
“By the way, are the other monsters a lot stronger than that?” (Makoto)
“If we exclude the lieutenants, a platoon is made up of more than 20. If they were to attack at the same time, there would be nothing remaining of a human—”
“20 more of those just now, huh… There’s no problem then.” (Makoto)
“Eh?”
The little girl had her eyes wide open as she looked at me.
“Uhm…what do you mean by that…?”
“If it is monsters of that level, 20 or 30 is no problem. I will freeze them in one hit.” (Makoto)
In order to not make the girl feel uneasy, I directed the gentlest smile I could make.
Well, the reality is that I would probably be okay even if it were more than a hundred of those.
As Noah-sama said, Spirit Magic is specialized for wars.
It is strong against numbers.
“Could it be that…you are a Hero-sama?”
Her eyes were not blank like they have been until now. Light had returned to them.
Her cheeks were slightly flushed.
Oops, I raised her hopes too much.
“No, I am not a Hero…but I am looking for one.” (Makoto)
“A comrade of a Hero-sama then!!”
She took that as me being the companion of a Hero.
“By the way, I don’t know much about the area around here… Where are we?” (Makoto)
“Eh?”
The little girl directed a gaze of suspicion at me.
Eyes that were saying ‘what is this guy saying?’.
Even a person like me that couldn’t read the atmosphere could tell this.
Looks like I made a strange question.
“W-Well…actually, I was attacked by a really strong monster before I got here, and I hit my head. My memories are hazy now…” (Makoto)
I made a bad excuse.
“I see…”
I don’t know if she believes me or not, but she didn’t question me further.
I did save her life after all.
The little girl answered me.
“This is the human farm of the Demon Lord Bifrons-sama.”
“……”
There’s a lot to retort to that, but…
‘I don’t know where you will be teleported to, but the place you will be teleported to will be deeply connected with you’.
I remember the words of Ira-sama.
Now that I think about it, I did meet a person(?) from the Dark Era.
The Demon Lord that I finished off 1,000 years in the future.
I am super connected.
Looks like I have arrived in the territory of the Immortal King Bifrons-san.
...Grrrrrr... The Divine Beast, Byakko, emitted faint purple lightning from its entire body. Each strand…
The Flying Arrow quest is simple. Touka, who was troubled because her family's ancestral spirit…
The northern slums. Though it’s called northern, it’s not much different from the slums of…
"Don't you want to Awaken, young lady?" Middle Sector. A place where people believe there…
"Nice, it looks like Sage made sure to get the guns I requested." (Lanpeach) Lanpeach…

Uh oh. Looks like some dots connects. I can feel it. I believe some readers guess the same way to. So I'm just gonna keep it for myself. Lol
Thanks for the chapter!!
Hee~, didn't thought that he would end in Rozes, but a farm of Bifrons is really unexpected. I'm really looking forward to this arc.
Looks like I have arrived in the territory of the Immortal King Bifrons-san.
Bifrons ? Well, he has a lot of links in the past. He met Shuri, Setekh, Bifrons and the Great Sage. He even possesses the Bifrons' magic stone (don't know if he has it with him now) and has a blood pact with the Great Sage. It would be even stranger if he didn't appear near Bifrons territory.
[Will you save the girl?]
That girl, will she play an important role in the past ? The RPG Player skill activated after all, so it means that he took an important decision.
Water Spirits are really powerful now !
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/fa/15/28/fa15283ce81d38386d1bc73297191a35.png
Would be funny if instead of Makoto being Abel as some people are theorizing he is Johnny Walker as he is closely related to the wood country where Bifrost was sealed hence we could assume that Makoto current location is the Wood kingdom 1000 years ago. There is also the fact he is said to be a womanizer and sired a lot of offspring and he is said to be a spirit user.
He has 999 proficiency on water magic and there isn’t any interference from the holy gods so he should probably be able to create a tsunami and wash away the demons in the entire continent.
Well, Makoto Probably Hit bottle neck, He probably need to do something before reach profiency: 1000. in most some RPG aren't they has requirements to do before we reach ultimate/secret skill. like directly meet the Spirit or make formal contract or do some chain of event)
The only thing I can think of is having the blessing of the titan gods
He can even freed Noah by now....
@savioroffrance: I don't think Noah would just raise the level cap displayed in Makoto's Soul Book by one digit. I think Noah just modified it so that it can display the actual level and Makoto really is at 999 water magic proficiency. 1000 is supposed to be a milestone so I'm thinking it's just really hard to reach that level. At 1000 you're supposed to be able to summon and sync with great spirits like Undine normally. Makoto has previously been able to summon Undine because those were special exceptions.
Maybe 1000= divinity
@tacos1 So Makoto will probably level up his proficiency to 1000 during his journey. I wonder if there will be a difference between synching with Undine with 999 proficiency +charm and 1000 proficiency+charm. It will just be boring if it only allows him to use Undine with more freedom.
Well he just got sun and destiny magic so he might end up being able to sync those spirits or maybe all spirits once he hits 1000.
The Holy Gods influence is indeed really weak. There are even Pitch Black Clouds that weaken the Divine Protection of Holy Gods I think.
Also, is it really water magic proficiency: 999 ? I think it is just that the modified Soul Book can't show beyond 3 digits. 999 just seems too weird. He became a Water Spirit King even it was only for a moment, so I think it should be way higher. Well, we will know when he trains. If his magic control increases significantly and it still shows 999, it would probably mean that his actual magic proficiency is beyond 999.
That would be great but he might gen in a funk again if he can monitor his own progress like he did when he hit the 99 mark before although I don’t think he will stop his death march like training he does everyday
Yeah, I'm wondering to where the heck is the bifrons magic stone? Speaking of water spirits (date a live) I forgot her name thou.
Her name is Yoshino
Isn't Yoshino an Ice Spirit thou?
Thanks for the chapter!
I love how casual Makoto is translated. Good job Reigo! Has this arc ended yet?
This is the beginning of a new arc I think
It should be Arc -1000
Yes this is the beginning of the 10th arc
Thanks! Nepu!

I'm calling it right now, that little girl will be the Great Sage of the present time.
And now that Makoto's in the past where spirit is everywhere, it's time for Makoto to reck havoc to the enemy while considering the effect of those actions to the present time.
well, there is chance Makoto Created a Paradox and saved the little girl. i mean trouble always brewing when you Time Travel. i mean The Great Demon Lord Iblis now has knowledge of future. Also I doubt Makoto Will leave Abel alone in his final fight nor he will leave Noah servant alone(probably Maoto will beat them before they kill Heroes, so Noah Punishment lessened)
But in the end she will die .....Her fate is sealed .
And became a vampire
"Well, 1,000 years ago, I was saved by Abel just before I was about to be eaten, and managed to live on thanks to that."
The Great Sage looks like a girl around her early teens.
RPG Player activated.
Makoto saved a girl whose age is around 10-12 from monsters.
If she said that the..... is it possible that Makoto is Abel?! 🤯
That was a mistake
But I'm guessing Makoto is the Cain that Bifrons was saying that he somewhat resembles. Well just a guess.
Of course Makoto goes and saves a girl right from the start, gotta raise those flags early... Although it seems like she is a bit too young.
Thanks for the chapter
Wait who's that girl??? Little girl??
And state that in immortal King's territory, wait if i remember correctly, I think there was story about that part? I forgot what chapter or what is was? If it was 1000 years ago then Pls don't tell great - sage??. I think it was mentioned in past chapter where the great sage was save by a hero. Pls god I hope I'm wrong. Pls
About Bifrons' territory? There's the Great Sage who was apparently vampirized by Bifrons himself (mentioned by the person herself in the aftermath of the Bifrons incident, at the start of the Fire Country arc). Back during Makoto's first visit to Symphonia she also mentioned having been saved by Abel.
As to the little girl, a lot of folks are certainly convinced it's the Great Sage. Her age checks out (Great Sage looks around ten, as does this little girl), and the choice pop up confirms she's important somehow.
The great Sage was saved but in the end she died.....
And became a vampire
@Holow @ GM_Rusaku
Is that a spoiler or a teasing joke 🤔
Well, in the present time Great Sage is a vampire right? It ain't even a spoiler at this time, now what I want to know is how did she became one?
I think we all have the same idea.
That was the white loli before turning into vampire (maybe)
How will it happen ? Who knows. Maybe she will sacrifice herself to save makoto in one way or another and I have no clue what’s what
But I will tell you that waiting for author update is much more painfull.
And then you imagine when Reigokai finally catches up.
The tenth of this month! Mtl of this series is surprisingly good compared to most series...
Damn, its hurts a cliffhanger, i need to know who is that little girl??? If she's a side character or heroine? Or just a bystander??.. I need more clue... Reigokai - san 😭😭😭
I welcome you to the MTL world. Honestly, MTL of this series is not too bad compared to mist, maybe by being a really good writer?
Anyways, if the devil tempting entices you, here is a link to the raws. Just remove "(dot)" for an actual period.
https://ncode(dot)syosetu.com/n1217et/
Reigokai-san provided the link to the raw already, you can check it in Weakest Mage Table of Contents's page
If you want to know where to find mtl just tell.
@Enarden @Azuka
that's very tempting, but I will just refrain myself
You can always use mtl.
@Enarden
Well i try to search a chapter ahead(raws) but it only gives a results of Reigokai translation. No matter how i search it. Anyways maybe it's a good thing I can't find it. I'LL just imagine what's the outcome 🧐
I guarantee you that the waiting will pay off.
Oh come on bro, your making my suspense worse. 😭
Thanks for the chapter damn after refreshing a bit there are already comments hahahaha
Thanks for the chapter!
Ehem... CALL THE POLICE!!!
Ahaha, okay okay. Makoto, you better don't lay your hands on her.
Idk if she's the one who would laid her hands on Makoto though xD
Oh dear, the territory of the Demon Lord Bifrons.
‘I don’t know where you will be teleported to, but the place you will be teleported to will be deeply connected with you’
Is this where Bifrons met someone that he thought as Makoto back then in the Wood Country? (I kinda forgot the country's name too lol)
Or is he actually Makoto himself? If that's the case, then history has changed way back before even the Holy Goddesses realised.
WEll, good luck on your first day transfered to the past, Makoto!
Really? Youre worried he will lay his hands on this girl? The same boy who has 5 or 6 different women throwing themselves at him but remains a virgin? Yer worried that boy is gonna throw away his V-card on a random underage girl he just met?
What if history change because arrival anotherworlder?
What if there timeline where anotherworlder not came to this world?
As we know makoto is key point in this timeline, if makoto not came in this world maybe savior abel did not even exist.
I'm sure the guy Bifrons met really was Makoto but because it hadn't happened yet from Makoto's perspective it probably made Bifrons' memory vague. It probably doesn't help that Bifrons himself said he can't tell humans apart and they all look the same to him.
I think the timeline being altered because of the demons sacrificing so many lives Is just a lie and the real reason why the great demon lord was resurrecting is because makoto going back to the past is a fixed event and if he doesn’t go back then the great demon lord was never killed so it automatically resurrects in the present as if it was never killed in the first place
This is what happens when you play with the continuity of time, the existing past is due to an event in the future but Makoto has not yet traveled to the past so he does not know things that still do not happen, everything will be clearer when this arc ends.
From the beginning there were a lot of weird things, but only now that we know that Makoto went to the past is when all those details makes sense.
The name of the Wood Country is Spring Log.
I remember that Bifrons is a Demon Lord that used to rule of the Western Continent, so there was great chance that he would end up in his territory.
I think that the one Bifrons mistook him for is probably Makoto.
I think the history was always like that. The Great Sage was acting really close to him. I don't think that she only saw him as a blood bag.
Here is my theory. Ira actually failed to fix the past properly or couldn't fix it properly for some reason. As a result, it ended up people like Great Sage and Bifrons remember Makoto. What do you think ?
@Miserys_End just the ability to manifest. By itself that's already a great blow to her faith, since the other goddesses can and do still manifest from time to time. Basically losing faith and followers are just the natural consequences of the inability to manifest, especially since apparently a big part of her attraction is her pop-idol activities. It might also limit her ability to intervene in the world though.
I agree with you, if we talk about time travelling, there are some rules that can you avoid.
In the time traveller law, in the history flow, there has some history flow that not same each other.
Now, if we review the chapter when makoto kill the demon lord biffron, it'll will make sure if they have met in the past. But makoto cann't remember that because in the future flow, that are the first time they meet.
Correct me if im wrong, but isnt Ira about to loose the ability to manifest, all her temples and followers? How is she supposed to fix anything if she looses her source of power and the ability to move around?
@Yuu the word you want is conflated. Basically, if hero Abel really did exist, and Makoto need to remain anonymous, then stories related to Makoto would likely be conflated into Abel's. Because after all, something happened, and yet the person who did it isn't recorded, then the easiest way to explain it would be as part of the countless things Abel did.
i do think the cause is due to time paradox the place that supposed to be safe become demon territory or in 1000(should we call it future or presents) it safe place and deeply connected to him but in past it is demon lord territory
Rather than not being able to fix it, I'm guessing that the new past will turn out way better than the old supposedly canon past, so Ira will just leave it as is for the most part. Of course, she'll have to cover up Makoto's existence as well as his improvements to prevent paradoxes and divine interference. Foreshadowing suggests that he'll be remembered as Hero Abel, which is confusing since there is most certainly a real Hero Abel who also is remembered as Hero Abel. Thanks, Ira.
In the last chapter, it didn't translate well, but Great Sage's response's emphasizes the "Spirit User-kun" instead of them not meeting in the past. Likely, she does remember meeting him, or realized that she did meet him through various hints, except not as "Spirit User-kun".
I can't make my mind to think of a theory since it's kinda confusing. I feels like that there are two timelines, and it's merging now but not properly.
It might be that there is only one timeline all this time. Otherwise it won't explains why Great Sage-sama has a coffin which most of us presume that either Makoto or Abel, or both, is there. So it might be just Ira-sama messed up some things, just like you said.
And then, i know this sounds illogical but i just want to say it lel
Since Ira-sama is clumsy, she should have spoiled some little things from the past to Makoto already, but she didn't so far. Even if she manages to control herself and didn't spoil anything, she should have anticipated things and acts like there's no mistakes at all. But there she is again, making mistakes here and there.
But then, this might be explained by my point before that Ira-sama is clumsy so she is bound to make mistake at times.
Parables in time usually change depending on what happens in the future, it is assumed that Makoto was always the one who travels to the past but because that happens in the future (current present) I could still change or it could have been different if Makoto had died before traveling to the past. The past, present and future would be different ...... parables in time are a nuisance because they are like Schrodinger's cat they exist but at the same time they don't.
Basically the history was changing but not because the demons used the forbidden spell it was because Makoto didn't go to the past .
Did the goddesses revive him willingly? Or was it because they simply saw that he was necessary for the continuity of time?
Might be something along those lines.
I might add that it is not that she couldn’t fix it, shes being overwhelmed by rpg skill.
My theory is that rpg is so powerful it actually makes history bend even without the gods noticing. Thats why she got so agitated with the options and Lucy, seeing everything change just because he said yes might be impossible to believe for her.
So even if she didn’t know it happened it happened because rpg player is present, something like that.
