Chapter 58 – 58. Strange Companion – City of Witches (13)

Anyway, everyone gathered.

The hideout here is not that safe, and if it stays here, there will be a joint attack between Elvenheim and Edward’s forces. When it comes to safety, even if you hide in a hiding place, you will be caught right away. That doesn’t mean they will follow you to the city of witches.

Honestly, that’s a bit unreasonable.

Elizarote and Batistan are both strong, but Elizarote is young and, considering how damned the witches are, she cannot be placed here.

Elizarote says she will follow.

“I’ll follow you. If it’s something that can save my sister, I’ll follow you too.”

“No.”

I flatly refused. The things inside, a place overflowing with dangerous forces. Darkness and death. And I can feel the power of the Elder God waiting for me and aiming for me from afar.

What I have to deal with in Gehenna, into that trap prepared only to kill me. And ultimately, the information I need to know about the ‘Mandrake that doesn’t cry’.

And Bia also agreed with me.

“I will be the only one to follow. Master Batistan is injured, and the young lady cannot handle the demonic spirit of ‘Gehenna’.”

Likewise, Batistan also agreed.

“I agree, miss. It’s impossible for me to follow you here.”

“Then what remains here is…”

“It’s dangerous. It won’t be safe here. But there is a way. At least it would be better to deal with the Kampfs here than with the guys inside who have set up all the traps to kill me.”

“…”

“But, those Elven Mages…”

“It’s going to be difficult with just the two of you. The old man is also injured.”

So I’m planning to call in reinforcements.

As for the reinforcements, there are children who have already proven their power in front of me, and naturally, I will leave the strength of two children who are especially special among them.

“Sister.”

To be honest, these lambs can be considered strategic weapons.

Nug and Yev.

I think these two can protect it. Those two could easily destroy the Elven Mages here.

Of course, what if something else approaches?

There is a way for that too.

“Nug and Yev, call them both.”

“You’re doing this to protect me, right?”

My older sister nods to that and calls out Nug and Yev. Nug and Yev emerge from their sister’s shadow, removing the darkness. And besides that, I’m putting another person here.

“And Dick.”

“Can you do without me?”

And Dick looks at me and asks if I’m okay. Of course, I know full well that the energy I feel inside is unusual.

Without exaggeration, there is a being here who can be compared to Cassandra.

And I am the Elder God in that demon world, and the misfortune that occurred in Gehenna, which is overflowing with the energy of death. And about the people who are chasing me.

And I knew that Gawain was alive, and I could sense that we would meet him soon.

…

…

You were alive.

And after knowing that, I felt relieved.

The fact that I am not the only one who survived.

Of course, I don’t think that we can go back to how it was before. That was a luxury for me now, and as long as I was somehow related to King Arthur and his death, he would ask me about it somehow.

And how will it end…

To be honest, I don’t know.

There are probably a lot of things he wants to hear from me, and there are a lot of things I want to hear too.

That’s for later, I have to go into that demon realm.

If Gawain comes in there, he can meet me.

And I told Dick.

“If I couldn’t do it without you, I didn’t say I was going to catch the demon lord.”

And this time, Dick doesn’t back down easily.

Did they think that Cassandra could be easily eliminated? Otherwise, how could I have figured that I could handle it because there were other people as well?

Are they telling me to be more cautious and careful this time because I am the only one who can be involved?

“…This time you’re really behind.”

He was resolute.

Dick warned me that I would die for sure this time, but that doesn’t mean I have any intention of backing down that easily.

The ones who chased me until his father died.

I cannot forgive the bastards who persecuted my father and implanted the reincarnation in his body.

And if they rule the world, I will directly defy their rule.

“I’m turning my back on those bastards who have been messing with not only my home, but the rest of my colleagues, and my father’s life…Would you do it?”

“If only I could use that to take advantage of the next opportunity.”

Is that so?

But what should I do with this?

I can’t live like that.

“…You’re planning on telling me to protect this place, right? But then you’ll die. You’ll die, you bastard. If I don’t stick around, you’ll die.”

“I care about these people.”

“Hey.”

I have a feeling it would be better for Dick to stay here. Not only are there more than one being chasing me, but they are chasing me. Those who are trying to kill me. And those who try to kill people just because they are around me.

And here, Dick must be there to stop them.

You have to protect the exit route.

“Take charge of the retreat route. And protect the families of my colleagues who will be there.”

Of course Dick snorts his nose. He said he had nothing to do with him in the first place. Naturally, he, who is also my godfather, flatly refuses and tells me to use him. He clearly decides that the current situation is abnormal and says he will get involved.

Is that really a good thing?

I don’t think that the things that will follow, the people that come after me, are all that are in this demon world right now.

“These humans are really good to me. Do you think you can destroy them all by yourself? Well, what do you think has happened to you just because you’ve gained some strength? You’re still just a young boy. If you mess around, you’ll be left behind. “

Yes, I know.

The little boy who didn’t know anything about the world and believed that he could do everything on his own was left behind.

That’s why I said it.

“So what?”

“What?”

Dick says to me with an angry look on his face.

But I can say. Yeah, it definitely won’t be easy for me. I was able to defeat the demon lord because the kid who was pretending to be the youngest archmage was behind me, and I was not alone with various colleagues, going out into society, joining the expedition, and killing the demon lord.

I survived because of the fallen comrades and the people who were prepared to die, and now that I am not dead, I am being chased by the Elder Gods, and they will try to kill me.

Gilgamesh said.

I told my sister who was only trying to help me and protect me.

What you are about to do now is to wrap yourself in the width of your skirt.

Dangerous.

Yeah, you can’t not know that.

Dick, too, must have felt like something was dangerous this time and wanted to intervene.

But still.

Who told you about it?

“You are the one who said that even if a man looks like he is going to give up, he has to take care of what needs to be done.”

“…Her-“

These were none other than Dick’s words.

I have to fight. We have to fight and overcome. If I don’t do it, no one will do it, and no one can do it. Of course.

Regardless of whether it’s a cause or a damn thing, there are trash people who want to do it but don’t have the ability and are just using the cause without the intention or ability to do it, and I have the intention and the ability to do it.

People who can’t do it and people who don’t want to do it.

And I decided to do it, I want to do it, and I am the person who will do it.

To rescue a comrade who has been sacrificed.

This is the right thing to do as a person whose life was saved thanks to it.

“No matter what happens, whatever is there, whatever is blocking me, in the end, it’s something I have to break through and end with my own hands. I can and will do it among people who can’t do it even if they want to, and people who have no intention of doing it. “Someone with a degree should go in. Then who should go in?”

“…Does that mean you have to die?”

Don’t run away from what you should do.

Even if you fall, you can’t turn back. Can’t turn away

I absolutely could not accept that our fight for our lives was turned into someone’s play and ended up dying.

“I died as a toy. Some people said that the world was really dangerous, that we really had to fight, that it was the duty of those with power, and they went out, and the bastards who saw it giggled and laughed and enjoyed it, and they destroyed me and ruined my friend’s house. “There is… Would you tolerate that?”

“Are you still immature after being scolded so much?”

“Yeah, but I can’t fucking live like that.”

“…You really have the same temperament as Nguy’s father, you bastard.”

Finally, Dick sighed. And, at the same time, he clenches his fists.

And I saw strength gathering in that fist.

And at that moment, my body flew through the air and then crashed into the wall.

Kwaaaaa!!

“…Clarke!!!”

It didn’t hurt.

I tried to figure out what kind of harmony it was, but I couldn’t figure it out.

And even though it obviously flew and hit the wall and hurt, I didn’t feel any impact. Naturally, I knew what this was like. And I, too, felt the power of Dick’s fist.

And I knew I could use that power too.

Judging by the reaction, it didn’t seem like something worth sharing with me, but I could see that sharing this with Dick was a gamble.

Dick said with a deep sigh.

“…You’re just the same as when you were young, you little bastard.”

Considering Dick’s age, this is a natural thing to say, and Dick’s face when he saw me when my father was young and now.

From what he said, it seems like his father didn’t really listen to Dick’s advice.

But advice…

Good night.

That’s good.

…Just because I leave here doesn’t mean they won’t come after me. I’m sure they’ll come again and again, blocking my path and trying to kill me. While fighting off Tio Grandsha’s persistent pursuit and obstruction in the Demon King’s army, I eventually killed all of the Four Heavenly Kings and even Cassandra.

Even though I have become stronger and more vicious, the pain that cannot kill me only makes me stronger.

“It may be difficult to use at your current level… But if you succeed, if your ‘will’ is clear, you will be able to destroy as many ‘things’ as you want to destroy.”

“…Will?”

“The will to kill an enemy without fail when faced with it. Just remember that. At your current level, even using ‘thread’ and ‘fingernails’ is too much for you. If you use this, at most, three times is your limit.”

Three times.

In other words, it is a skill that can only be used 3 times.

I thought it would be good to see some progress in magic, but I still haven’t found a teacher better than my father. I devoured my father, and although I have powerful magic strengthened by my father’s magic circuit, it is quite disappointing considering that my real job is not a martial artist, but a wizard.

I am not a martial artist.

He’s a wizard.

As for the hammer, I chose a weapon that was really painful when struck rather than just using a sword, so I ended up modifying the staff in that form, and as I used it, I got used to it and was able to use it.

I’ll say it again, I’m a ‘wizard’.

Although you can also use your fists or hammer blows.

In any case, this is ‘auxiliary’.

Recently, I have a crazy feeling that this will become the main focus.

…Now it’s useless to deny that I’m a force mage, really.

And Dick shook his head in resignation and said to me:

“Yes, I told you not to run away, Marcus. If you decide to fight instead of running away… Make sure you destroy everything and come back. Even your sister won’t be able to help you much. What I can say is…Be careful not to let the dog’s leash get caught on you either.”

Dog leash.

In the past, whenever Dick tried to say something or tell me, he often just opened his mouth and couldn’t say anything.

“…One thing I’m asking is, are there any restrictions on what I’m asking you to do?”

“As long as you pay a fair price and the ‘compensation’ I want is ‘money’, there is no problem.”

Except in cases where no one is allowed to intervene at all. Looking at what he said next, fortunately, it looks like he won’t touch anything this time. Yes, that’s a good thing.

“…Survive. If you don’t know anything else, all you can think about is survival.”

“I will take care of that. It has always been that way and it will continue to be that way.”

“…Okay, that’s the end of what I have to say. Go.”

Just like that, Dick turns around and goes out of the hiding place.

He is also very irritated, and Mine laughs bitterly when he sees Dick like that, and then looks at Aris, who is very scared, and is stroking her to soothe her. She is fussing and saying that I am not a child, but as always, if I fall into the hands of that woman full of motherly love, Dick will die. Likewise, beings with a nasty temper often become docile right away.

Likewise, if you pet him a few times and he immediately feels good, that’s a little boy.

…

“It’s okay. Even if you say it like that, it will be resolved quickly. And… You’re quite angry that you can’t stop him from going to die, and he’s not angry at Mr. Clark.”

“…They criticize me for having a dirty temper, but that guy’s temper is the same.”

“Hehe, that’s right. People who are similar to each other become friends.”

“…That’s a bit much.”

“So, please make sure he comes back alive. He is… In many ways incapable of freedom.”

I know that I do bad things, but I also know that I cannot always be protected or avoid them.

I pledge revenge on the Elder Gods who left me with no place to return and drove my father to death, and I cannot be intimidated by death, even if it is just to finish what I have to do. I know what Mine means, but I still have to go.

“…”

The magic world of witches writhing in the distance. The road to Gehenna.

I stand in front of the road to Gehenna.

My older sister stands next to me, and Anna, Lucy, Nia, and Tio sit behind her as well.

And finally to Via.

I think it is right to be on guard against beings whose true nature is unknown just by looking at them, but you cannot blindly kill them unless they show their teeth.

I wish I was rude enough to kill someone outright because I thought it was suspicious, but I decided to put it aside for the sake of someone who might feel unfair.

Usually, the odds of something like this are 6:4. I used to get hit in the back with a probability of 6.

If you look at those eyes now, it’s 5:5.

It’s half and half.

…

What on earth does this have to do with Elizabeth?

Actually, I don’t know.

Even if I know that, there’s nothing I can do about it.

And I saw Solias and Adramelech.

And those two also stand behind me.

“…For your information, there is no protection inside there. I know there is one Elder God inside there, but I have no idea whether I can win in a fight or not.”

“Tsk, no matter what happens, you have to fight and win in the end, right? In order to regain strength, there is no change in the fact that I have to jump in myself, just like you.”

I look at Adramelech.

“Even if you don’t tell me, I will protect it. My duty is to live for Solias. I have no intention of entrusting that to anyone else.”

You must be young.

If you have that muscle-brained archangel, you don’t have to worry about safety… But you can’t expect help. Since I was hitting beyond my full potential in the first place, it doesn’t really matter.

Also, what will happen in there?

Well, it would be better to experience it yourself.

Take a step towards the city of magic.

To be honest, the road to Gehenna is originally longer than this.

Since I’ve been to this place before, I naturally know how long the passage is, and the passage that Nia has dug is straight ahead and leads to Gehenna.

And so, he takes his steps, crosses the wall of space, and enters Gehenna.

At the same time, the magical energy emitted by the witches unique to Gehenna sticks to the entire body.

And those magic spirits are horribly unpleasant to human wizards, and if they continue to erode, they become slaves to the witches. Of course, when I came here in the past, I remember creating an artifact using a simple filtering device.

I once again set foot in a city that sparkles and illuminates the night with eternal starlight.

I came here when I was young, but I still looked at the squirming city of witches and I looked at my older sister.

For my sister, it was Gehenna coming back after only a month, but for me, it has been more than 10 years. Naturally, I could see that things had changed in many ways, and my sister probably knew better than me, and she was able to immediately figure out what had happened here.

First of all, there is one thing I can know.

Maso’s nature has changed.

“Clarke, do you know what kind of magical power witches have?”

“…As it sticks to you, it gradually takes away your strength and causes you to collapse from exhaustion.”

And what do you do with a victim who is so subdued? Immediately turn them into slaves.

In this city of witches, they summon an unspecified number of Elcadians, or creatures from other dimensions other than Elcadia, and use them as slaves, doing things that are difficult to express in words.

But how has it changed now?

…

It’s stuffy. It’s a really unpleasant feeling, like you’re in smoke.

Not only Anna, but Tio also feels slightly uncomfortable.

“…Maybe it’s because I’m used to it. Something feels unpleasant here. I don’t feel like I’m losing strength, but I feel like I’m being forced to eat tasteless food because I don’t want it to be trash.”

Anna-like remarks.

Lucy, like my sister and I, was fine, and Nia, too, was not greatly affected by the magic, and was able to successfully adapt to her changed nature.

And I had an escort driver who followed me right next to me. I look at Via.

…

She took out the magic filtration artifact she had prepared in advance, but she shook her head.

“It’s okay. I can handle it without it.”

“…If you feel unwell, let me know right away.”

“Rather than me, how about paying more attention to the person behind me?”

And Solias followed right away.

And Adramelech.

Adramelech is fine.

Although this is the opposite of her strength, she is a low angel, and of course she can endure it as a low angel…

“Woah, wow-“

During my life, I realized that people can get motion sickness even when they are standing on the ground just fine. He throws a magic filtration artifact at Solias, who stumbles as he feels nauseated and can’t stand it anymore, and it gets stuck in Solias’ neck.

Only then did he seem to calm down a bit and his pale face immediately became normal.

“God is a weakling.”

And I said that to Solias, and he narrowed his eyes and looked at me as if he was being wronged and grumbled.

“…We’ll see. When I regain my strength, the first thing I will do is throw lightning at you. I’ll see you later when you lose your strength. If that happens, I’ll make fun of you too!”

“It must be awkward.”

After the last person had finished adapting.

My sister pinpoints the location of this place.

“First of all, do you know the location? This shit is…”

“…First of all, this is the mountain range in Gehenna. It is ‘Albion.'”

“…?”

“Don’t look at me like that. Now I know what the situation is here.”

This is the Albion Mountains?

Naturally, it is a rugged and steep mountain range that no one lives in, a long way from the original entrance to Gehenna.

Naturally, I now looked at the scene around me.

A city of witches made of fire, water, tree trunks, darkness, and stone.

As soon as you enter this place, it catches your eye.

The earth was split, mountain ranges, and the earth was floating, lakes were falling to the ground, lava was flowing, and the energy of death was surging.

Even though this is a city of witches and the natural environment is extremely eccentric, it appears to be floating and destroyed as if it were a floating continent.

No, when I looked down, I saw that the land where Gehenna’s main buildings were embedded was embedded in the mountain range, and the other buildings that had not been recovered were ruined and collapsing.

Then use Wizard Eye to scout the surroundings. The basics of exploration must be reconnaissance first, to explore the location of enemies, surveillance forces, or Elder Gods, or to find the main culprit that caused the energy of death to encroach.

In the meantime, I discovered one intelligent being, a witch.

The first thing I noticed inside that collapsed building was…

Suddenly!

…

“…Ah fuck.”

I just saw it for no reason. What a fucking bitch.

“What’s wrong, master?”

“Master, what are you seeing?”

And as soon as I came in, I saw scenes of ‘abnormal sexual desirers’ relieving their sexual desires. I saw abnormal sexual desires that were so disgusting that it was difficult to express them in words.

Oh shit.

And my sister also told everyone if she knew what I saw.

“It’s better not to know. Clark saw it, I saw it too… The witches here have been going crazy for a while now.”

For no reason, I used Wizard Eye to scout out the witches.

Of course, since I was a wizard child capable of stealthy maneuvers, no one noticed my presence, but my sister looked at Anna, Nia, and Tio and said,

“…You can’t get pleasure without causing pain to others. That’s right, they cut off people’s arms and legs, harpoon them, watch them suffer, and then have sexual intercourse with the wounds. It’s really horrible. “They’re toothless bitches.”

“…Oh my god.”

“…Mira, it came out well.”

If Lucy said that, he’d said it all.

Of course, the content is absolutely terrible.

Even these, hermaphrodites?

Well, what should I say.

A benign trough?

…

Damn it, what the fuck do you know?

Why on earth are you doing that, you crazy bitches?

Since it’s magic, you can take it off and put it on as many times as you want, and if your personal sexual preference is to like women, it doesn’t matter if witches have relationships with each other.

…

Anyway, wasn’t it a bit harsh to cut off the head and stick it in there, you fucking bitches?

Solias also heard that and said something with a look on her face that said she couldn’t bear to look at it.

“…Sin, a city full of sin. I want to punish this place right now, but-“

“You don’t have the strength to do that, do you?”

And when I say that, Solias narrows her brows. But what can I do? It’s true.

From Solias’ point of view, this is a city full of corruption and madness that cannot be tolerated. It’s surprising that my sister didn’t get caught in a place like this.

Rather, should I say that my older sister is the most witch-like among all the witches?

Originally, witches referred to people who studied herbs and magic. The inconvenient truth is that many doctors and pharmacists were accused of being witches, and because it overlapped with the church’s healing practices, all of their competitors were accused of being witches.

I am thankful once again that in the first place, my sister did not get influenced by these sexual abnormalities and just did her own thing.

“Sister.”

“Yes, Clark.”

“…Thank you for getting out of here safely.”

Because I don’t fit in with these things.

By rejecting these things until the end.

I am grateful to you for keeping me as myself.

I will say thank you to my sister no matter how many times.

And my sister hugs me tightly and smiles.

“.. Hehe, actually, there were some that were making a fuss with me too…They gave it all to the sheep.”

“…This is truly shockingly crazy. No, since you were crazy about your own brother in the first place, you wouldn’t have gone crazy even in a crazy place like this.”

Solias looked at his older sister and said this with disgusted eyes, but regardless, my older sister hugged me tightly and hugged me, pressing her soft chest against me.

They seem to be hugging each other for longer than usual. And I could tell that my sister was intuitively leading me to something.

A witch’s magic is complex in many ways, and in particular, it varies greatly depending on the individual’s will, beliefs, and preferences, so I knew that something was being induced, and accordingly, I hugged my sister passionately, caressing her soft waist and buttocks and pulling her. Hug

“What, what, what are you doing!?”

And Solias looked at it and felt shameless –

I can feel it.

…

Those who come from far away, running towards this place with extreme abnormal sexual desire, madness, and obsession.

And we faced them.

“Aaaaah!!! Mira!!! Mira!!!! I’ve been waiting for you!!!”

“Mummy? Mummy? Mummy? Mummy? What is the dirty man next to him? What is the dirty man next to him? What is the dirty man next to him? Man, man, man…!!!!”

“Kill!! Kill!!! Kill the man who defiled Mira!!!”

Oh wow.

“Sister, when did you start having sasaeng fans like this?”

“I’ve never grown anything like that. I just stuck with them because I like them.”

“But I didn’t really want to mess around.”

“…Shouldn’t I help what I can? If it’s about witches, I should at least get rid of these crazy witches and those who are against me. The things I brought here in the first place, they all have. Going to be.”

Ah, so that’s why.

“Of course, there are things I wanted to hug you.”

“What are you doing when I hug you all the time?”

“But I always want to be hugged. I want to cuddle with you every day! I want to be kissed, my breasts touched, and my butt touched like this!!”

“I’ll have a fun game after it’s over. Tell me what you want.”

“…Hehe, you promised?”

“I’ll be back too. Please wait.”

“…Huh.”

So we kissed each other once.

At the same time, the hostility felt from the witches flying in from afar becomes stronger.

This is really funny, but what can I say?

It’s weird, but gay people don’t particularly ostracize women, but lesbians basically ostracize and hate men.

…I mean, on that topic, he’s very active when it comes to dating attractive women like men.

Tsk.

And the sister shines the golden rose brooch on her own head and holds up the Staff of the Mummy.

“Okay then, let’s deal with it slowly, you guys first. You damn bug bitches.“
