Chapter 1 – 01. No Way Home (1)

-January 1, 325, Uruk calendar-

Elcadia Continent

The era of the golden empire of Elcadia’s empire, where the great emperor of Elcadia of the West established an empire. And a great ancient empire in which numerous gods walked the earth and coexisted with humans.

However, the empire collapsed, and the continent was torn apart into two continents.

One is Western Elcadia centered around the Uruk Empire, which established itself in the center of the continent after the Great Empire.

And the remaining one is East Elcadia, led by ‘Han (韓)’.

And gradually, it came to be called ‘Chiu’ continent instead of East Elcadia.

Because the god called Chiucheonwang took his place.

And below that, Han, Gauri, Yamatai.

There are these three countries, Western Elcadia was named Elcadia, Uruk in the center, and Urus in the north.

‘Pillas’, a trading city-state adjacent to the great canal in between.

Phrygia, a western coastal military power.

Camelot, the kingdom of knights on the island of Britain, at the westernmost tip.

Dverg, a dwarven country in the southwest.

The Southern Holy Empire ‘Byzantine’.

The Great Forest of Elvenheim in the southeast.

On the island beyond is the dragon country, Draconia.

And
A satellite city-state of the Uruk Empire.

Duchy of Magia.

That’s the name of where I am.

And the road leading to the capital there.

Capital Media.

Where my home is.

It was a long time.

When I arrived back after 7 years, my hometown was still extremely old-fashioned and full of only hard-headed children, and I remember the harsh hardships and pain I experienced while returning here. And I saw the numerous priests standing next to the checkpoint, the priests wearing white clothes, making the sign of the cross and looking at their every move as they blessed the visitors and entrants, and the cold gaze of the angels wiping the priests’ buttocks. Even the fields.

And that they settled here to hunt down ‘just one person’, and that it has been over 7 years since they settled here.

It would have been natural to be dissatisfied to that extent, but because of the Uruk Empire’s attention, it was only finished to this extent, and the Principality of Magia is a vassal state of the Uruk Empire.

If you want to do this kind of shit for 7 years in such a vassal state, you have to have someone behind you.

And there must be a strong cause.

Okay.

To give an example…

Something like betraying humanity.

…

There is no need to think about how such an unfair accusation happened to me.

No, it’s natural in the first place.

I, Geumtaeyang, Clark literally destroyed Ttukbaegi, the priest who was trying to push my disciple to catch the Demon Lord, and the ‘Child Angel’ that the priest had summoned.

…

If he was a high priest capable of summoning a heavenly angel, wouldn’t it be okay for him to go and catch the devil himself?

Then I destroyed it and the Qi Angel was forcibly returned to heaven. I remember that little girl, my student, who said she was afraid of the devil.

I became an Archmage at the age of 15, and in order to protect ‘Lorraine’, a student who was recommended as a professor of magic and a student of magic, and who taught me magic from a young age, the goddess chose that child as the last party member anyway, and he I told them, because I knew they would keep fucking me if the position wasn’t filled.

Isn’t it natural that I, an archmage, would have a higher chance of success than a kid who doesn’t know how to use magic?

Shouldn’t I just go kill that demon lord?

After talking like that, my argument was eventually accepted, and the guy named ‘Adele Adrian’ who tried to kill me earlier accepted it.

Obviously…

I wasn’t surprised or embarrassed because I expected that guy would come back to stab me someday. If there was a situation where I couldn’t use magic properly, I had a corresponding preparedness plan, but what the young kid had prepared had many flaws in many ways.

In the end, he succeeded in breaking through Adele Adrian’s siege and escaping, but if he had stayed there, he would have died soon after.

If it weren’t for ‘Nia’, the little spider on my shoulder right now.

There were many people who asked why I kept a ‘spider’ among the many pets, but as I have raised it for a long time, Nia clearly recognizes me as her owner, and responds well to handling, shaking her front legs and playing with me, and of course. Fortunately, Nia continued to be by my side during the expedition.

Nia was by my side during the battle and when I fought the Demon Lord Cassandra, and even now, when the siege was formed, she was next to me.

I even asked for ‘help’ to save me as I was dying.

“Brother, can you show me your face…Huh?!”

It shows a tanned, hideously distorted face and ‘white skin’.

And the divine powers passing through my body.

At least four people were scanning me intently at once, and I spoke to them.

“What are you looking at, you idiot? Why are you surprised when you force the scars that other people are covering up to be visible? And what are you doing to my body, huh?”

“…Excuse me. Brother, I have done something rude. I just used divine power to ‘heal’ the wounds on my brother’s body, but…The wounds will not heal. “You don’t?”

“You damn bastards.”

After saying that, I put on the white leather mask that covers my face again. And a white fur cloak covered my body.

Okay.

These were also given to me as a gift by a ‘helper’.

And ‘she’ gave it to me for free as a top-class artifact that allows me to avoid the priests’ search and transforms my appearance.

I tried to pay for something, but he said that I couldn’t give him what he wanted and asked me to come back someday to give it back to him if he were still alive.

He just said that and sent me off with a smile.

…She was a kind-hearted woman.

And what she gave me clearly hides my ‘identity’.

Likewise, standing behind me is a Yongin with red hair pulled into pigtails and wearing a small mini hat.

The same holy power is shot at Lucy, but she seems to be offended and growls.

And only then did the priests fidget and try to calm Lucy down, and of course Lucy looked at me and said,

“…Can I kill you?

“…Are you part of the group?”

…

It’s a relationship while traveling. And, as a result of her bond with me during her travels, I am her guardian who carries her with her.

And she is a ‘dragon’.

The horns that are curved on top of its head and extend from the bottom up, and the tail that is wagging uncomfortably on the ground under its red robe show that it is angry, and the heat rising from the corners of its mouth shows that it is very angry at a glance.

She is a dragon race, and although the dragon race in Elcadia is small in number, they are a strong race that can literally annihilate a human city or a small country just by itself.

I’ve seen her in her ‘true form’ and she’s the one who subdued her when she went on a rampage, along with her giant sized ‘dragonfolk’ and I know she’s going to be annoying if she goes on a rampage here.

“No, no. Come here when the inspection is over. Let’s go.”

And when I said I would take them with me, the priests nodded and motioned for me to go.

Naturally, they want to take him away quickly.

And that scene is truly hilarious.

These guys. Look at this really double thing.

Are you discriminating against me because I’m a dick?

Of course, I really want to argue with this, but…

It’s not time yet.

Yes, someday, someday, we can do that.

Not now.

…

My friend said.

If you hold back a grudge, you’re an asshole, and if you vent it right away, you’re an idiot.

It explodes at the right time and at the right time and opportunity.

And Lucy looks at me and nods her head expressionlessly.

“…Yes, I will endure it.”

After saying that, the flame around my mouth fades away.

The priests sighed as if they had taken a breather, and at the same time, the person who appeared to be the guard commander spoke to them.

“How on earth are you going to do such pointless things? Why do you keep interfering with the inspection here in the first place?”

The mustachioed, strong-looking guard captain scolded the priests, and of course the priests narrowed their eyes.

It’s funny when I think about it, these bastards.

You say the Demon King is a dick, but you are scared of the Dragon Clan.

In my opinion, the demon lord was stronger than the dragon race, so why are they afraid of the dragons and trying to kill the demon lord or the guy who killed the demon lord?

Even now that I think about it, it is an inexplicable mystery.

And people with lower authority than themselves are full of assholes.

“How dare a mere mortal try to interfere with the will of God?”

And unlike before, he clearly looked down on the guard captain’s words and treated him like a subordinate. And the angels raise weapons around the guard captain and press on him, as if surrounding him. If it were a hundred other humans, it would have seemed like they would have given up right away, but he closed his eyes tightly and spoke to them as if he couldn’t do that anymore.

“You damn priests and priests! 7 years, really 7 years!!! We are soldiers of the Principality of Magia, and you are priests and religious cultists who came from abroad! What authority do you have over this country? “Are you exercising your authority to this extent just because you have it?”

7 years.

…

So, it was after I left Magia.

“It is an order issued according to the goddess’s oracle. Do you think a mere mortal can understand that? What do you call someone who doubts the goddess’ intentions and disobeys it, brothers?”

“Heretics and infidels!”

“Then what is the appropriate punishment?”

“Burn by wheel and burn at the stake!”

…

And then, someone grabs the ‘hammer’ that I was trying to remove from my waistband and lowers it. And among all the people I know, there is only one person capable of this level of strength.

“Hyung, ‘hyung’. This may be your first time at Magia like this, so don’t overdo it.”

“…!”

Then, a being with ‘black hair’ taps me on the shoulder, overlaps his index and middle fingers, and walks past me.

A young man with short hair. With his muscular and broad shoulders, he is a master who will never be outdone by these Elcadians.

In this world, the main beings with black hair are the Han, Gauri, and Yamatai people of the ‘Chiu’ continent, and other than that, the only people who possess the atavistic inheritance mixed with the blood of non-humans.

Because of that, I am persecuted a lot, but of course I don’t believe in that.

In the first place, this guy was the one who attacked the people who persecuted him and made them out to be ‘assholes’.

And the ax in that hand.

A huge ax the size of an adult man, which can be used as a scythe when unfolded, and even a blade that can be used for hunting. And when the guy holding the ax appears, the priests are startled.

“You-!?”

“Domo, Yoroshiku – it’s been a while since you’ve seen me, you religious fanatics.”

And fear appears on the faces of the priests who see him.

And that meant only one thing.

And next to him, a woman with black hair and wearing a white uniform.

…

Damn, that guy was chasing women all day long, all the time, so I didn’t even know who she was, but she was a woman I saw so often that I knew her name. Along with the elegant-looking woman, in her hand is a thin circular sword called a ‘katana’, often used by the Yamatai people, and an object commonly referred to as a ‘blade’.

A woman who appears to be a canine beast with ears on top of her head.

And the woman’s name is ‘Mine’.

If you ask me why I know, it’s because I used to move often.

“Hehe, honey. Are you hunting the church again this time?”

“Well, it’s just nothing. I just came out because I don’t have to endure it anymore.”

“…You, you!!! Dick!! Dick Johnson!!! What about you…”

Dick Johnson.

Yes, it was my balls friend.

Suddenly-!!

And the woman’s eyes glowed with a purple light, and all the priests behind her decapitated her with a single blow. Naturally, the blade that cut off her neck must have lost its teeth right away, so it was broken and thrown into another place in space. Take out the knife.

And seeing Mine, who had just blown up the previous four priests, Lucy felt a sense of victory, and flames burst out from the corner of her mouth. Soon after, ‘Nia’, who was on my shoulder, hid inside my fur cloak. And clearly trembling with fear.

And Dick approaches the one remaining priest.

And soon after, the angels who were guarding the priest rushed at Dick.

Dick easily parries the angels charging at him with spears, swords, and lances with the back of his hand, and chops off the heads of all the angels with a huge ax in one hand, cutting off their heads as he approaches the priest.

In order to escape somehow, I tried to use the teleportation scroll, but I was able to use magic and prevent the scroll from activating.

And the teleportation scroll spell is erased with my magic.

Golden magic power.

And when it shines – the priest’s eyes turn to me.

“You you-!!!”

And finally, Dick’s ax soars into the sky –

“I’ll make you an asshole.”

Kwaaaaang!!!!

And then, he hits the fuse like that.

And-

At that moment, ‘God’ and ‘Coffin’ remained in that place.

And the guard captain, facing Dick, is startled.

And at the same time, he orders soldiers to surround Dick. And Mine, who was next to Dick, sighs and asks Dick.

“What are you going to do?”

“D-Dick Johnson!!! Yes, you are under arrest for murder!!! Everyone, enforce the law!!!”

Hehe, what should I do?”

And soon after, Dick’s new brother disappears.

And-

He caught me and-

Run the streets at the same time.

“Nigerungdayo~!”

“…Ah, as expected.”

And Mine also followed behind Dick – at the same time, a red light appeared in the eyes of ‘Lucy’, who had seen me kidnapped right in front of her eyes, and at the same time, she revealed her wings and chased ‘Dick’, who was jumping with me, at a furious speed. It started.

“Hey, Geumtaeyang.”

“You fucking bastard.”

And, I said hello to my old friend –

“It’s been a while, bastard. I thought you were behind, you bastard.”

“If I don’t want to die, get out of hell.”

“Damn you, you golden sun bastard who will fuck women even if you go to hell.”

“Hey, you two, it’s good to see you, but from behind – that dragon guy keeps chasing you?”

“…Yumma, how long are you going to hold it in and bounce around…Kahahah!”

And then Dick throws me to the floor.

You fucking bastard.

“You fucking bastard.”

“Why did you think I would treat a boy kindly? Originally, a boy should grow up to be rough, Geum Taeyang. Be strong, Geum Taeyang! You have to be a Geum Taeyang who will eat all the women. Fashion Geum Taeyang.”

“Fuck you bastard.”

And after taking the falling technique, I stand up. At the same time, Lucy chased me all the way to the back alley.

And before Lucy’s spear could move towards Dick, I held her tightly and stopped her, and at the same time, Lucy finally calmed down.

“Lucy, calm down.”

“…Clarke, isn’t that the enemy? Isn’t that the enemy?”

“…Not an enemy.”

“Really? Yeah, okay. If Clark says so.”

Just now, I was not allowed to say ‘my name’ in front of the priests, and Lucy calls my name as soon as the priests disappear.

And as soon as I removed the magic from the cloak and mask, my skin and hair began to turn black along with the blonde. And Dick looks at me.

Soon after, he stretched out his hand, and I took that hand…

Wow!!!

“Ugh! You bastard!”

“You fucking bastard!”

Naturally, the first thing I did when I met my friend was a cross counter.

Dick Johnson.

My old friend.

A friend I met since childhood.

The meeting with a friend I met as soon as I returned to my hometown was the worst.
