Chapter 15 – Goddess of the Magic City (1)
A week has passed since then.
The time had come when I had to leave the cabin, or rather, the Lepothesia Forest, where the indescribable and tremendous stimulation remained like a scar.
It wasn’t that his relationship with Demeter had taken a turn for the worst.
What… It was still the worst, but it didn’t reach the point where the couple’s bond was cut off.
The reason I left Daesanlim was to show my other wife.
After the Great War of the Holy Music ended, unlike Nawan, who had achieved the final goal of subjugating the Demon King and was living a semi-secluded life, My Wives were still active in the field for the regeneration of the continent.
Just as Demeter was in charge of the Great Forest of Lepothesia, other goddesses were working hard for the revival of humans in different places.
Since the wives are so busy, it is very difficult to find time for them personally.
So, it became a daily routine for me, as her husband, to take turns visiting her wives in person.
If I stayed too long with one person, the other wives could become jealous, so now was the right time to leave.
“It’s a shame I won’t be able to see you for a while.”
The day I put on my shoes and got ready to leave, Richard, who was seeing me off at the front door, suddenly said something like that.
“I will contact you occasionally.”
“Uh, yes, thank you…”
“You’re welcome.”
Richard, whose smile seemed to be even brighter than usual, shrugged his shoulders.
Richard had his arm wrapped around the waist of Demeter, who was standing right next to him, with a sad expression on his face.
Demeter quietly surrendered herself to his touch and held her hands neatly together in front of her.
Considering the various plays he had made with Richard, a touch like that would have been nothing.
“… “Then I will ask you to take care of me.”
I opened the front door and spoke softly to Richard before leaving.
We agreed yesterday that the relationship between Richard and Demeter will continue even after I leave the forest.
Demeter, who showed disapproval at first, reluctantly agreed in the end.
I once again reminded Richard not to do anything that Demeter truly disliked.
Even though it is a rule that has actually been formalized as of now.
“Take care, Ion…”
Demeter said this in a small but gentle voice as I was about to leave, leaving her alone with the man she married.
Even though she suffered unimaginable shame because of me as a goddess, Demeter cares about my body, her husband.
Her kind nature was so pitiful that her heart ached.
“Okay, see you later…”
I left the cabin without daring to make eye contact with Demeter.
The scenery of the large forest that I would not be able to see for a while somehow felt more beautiful than usual. As if the sky welcomes me leaving.
“Ugh~!!”
As I walked a little further, I caught a faint groan coming from the hut right behind me.
It was a voice filled with pleasure, as if he had been holding it in for quite some time.
I stopped my legs and hesitated for a moment, but then I came to my senses and moved forward again.
But I couldn’t stop my pants from sticking out.
As the familiar moans coming from the cabin grew louder, my crotch grew proportionately.
*
The place I headed after leaving the dense forest was a bustling area located not far from the large forest.
The name is Magic City Krezel.
Like the Great Forest of Lepothesia, it is ruled by one of the five goddesses, and is considered the most prosperous city on the current continent, known as the Holy Age.
The size of the city was similar to that of the Daesan Forest, but its population was at least three or four times that of the Daesan Forest.
If I, a warrior, entered such a prosperous city, attention would be drawn and the city’s functions could be paralyzed, so I disguised myself and entered the city to avoid being noticed.
Krezel, which I visited after a long time, was still developing.
There were many bigger and taller buildings than the last time I visited, and the expressions on the faces of most people walking down the street were bright.
As the name Magic City suggests, Krezel was the place with the most advanced magic on the continent.
There were many wizards wearing conical hats or holding wands, and it was common to see them actually using magic.
Krezel was also famous as a city of opportunity that every wizard dreams of.
There were quite a few wizards who considered it their lifelong dream to research magic in Krezel.
And it was no exaggeration to say that the reason Krezel gained such status was all due to the abilities of a single goddess.
“Aaaaah!!”
As I was leisurely walking around the city, I suddenly heard someone’s ear-piercing scream.
And at the same time, a noise sounded as if something was collapsing, and something huge appeared in front with black smoke.
“Um, can’t that be?!”
“Run! “It’s a golem!!”
As the identity of the monster that appeared beyond the smoke was revealed, the surrounding citizens became distraught and began to run away.
I couldn’t hide my embarrassment at the crisis that occurred so suddenly.
Why is the golem here? Those things are basically monsters that live in alpine areas, right?
The golem was a monster that even hero Ion Rayhard had a hard time catching in the early and middle parts of Pure Love Fantasy.
It was as big as a house and its power was beyond imagination, so much so that it was even said that one golem was comparable to a unit of the Demon King’s army.
“Somehow stop them from going into the city!”
“W-that’s impossible! “The attack doesn’t work!”
The defense wizards who appeared soon after poured attack magic, but the golem did not move.
Golems basically have strong magic resistance, so that was out of the question.
The wizards, who had persistently continued to fire attacks that were ineffective at best, soon fell down like fallen leaves in a single swing of the golem.
It was literally a fight between a huge elephant and a puppy.
The golem, which completely disrupted the wizards’ display, moved its legs straight towards the place where no evacuation had yet taken place.
If the golem could not be stopped somehow, it was a situation that could develop into a major disaster.
I broke out in a cold sweat and hesitated endlessly about what to do.
With Ion Reyhard’s power at the end, subduing a single golem wasn’t a problem, but that was only possible when it was Ion Reyhard himself.
I am Lee Jin-woo, an ordinary human who merely possessed Ion’s body.
I have never had a proper battle since I came to this world.
If I step forward and something goes wrong and my identity is revealed to people, it’s literally game over.
“Everyone is pathetic.”
After much deliberation, the moment I decided to run away, a voice like that rang out from somewhere.
And at the same time, something strange happened to the golem.
One of the golem’s healthy legs suddenly exploded with a popping sound.
The golem, which had not flinched despite the furious attacks of the defense wizards, lost its balance and fell to its knees on the ground.
“I’m struggling with this one thing.”
At the alluring voice heard in the air, I and the citizens around me all raised their heads and searched for the owner of the voice.
It was not difficult to find a woman sitting elegantly in the empty air, using the air as a chair.
Attractive long silver hair that looks like it was made by melting platinum,
A black Chinese dress that fully exposes the bare skin of thin limbs,
High heels with impressive iron wires and sharp heels held indifferently in one’s hand,
Above all, a beauty that seems to be out of this world, encompassing everything exquisitely.
Even as she looked at the building-sized monster, she did not hide her characteristic bewitching face.
“Thanatos!”
One of the crowd near me shouted the name of this city goddess in the air.
Then, others who had been unconsciously infatuated with her beauty came to their senses.
“Thanatos has come!”
“I feel safe now!”
When the goddess appeared, a light of hope began to appear on the faces of the citizens who were full of fear.
Thanatos glanced at the citizens and then shifted his gaze back to the golem in front of him.
Recognizing her presence in Thanatos, her golem immediately stretched out her hand to grab her, but her clumsy hands never touched the goddess.
Kwaaaaang!!
When Thanatos swung the iron wire he was holding once, the golem’s entire body exploded, not its legs.
The golem’s body, which received an attack that could never be avoided, was instantly shattered.
No matter how resistant the golem was to magic, there was no way she could withstand her magic.
Because she was the best and strongest archmage in this city, no, this entire continent.
“Wooooo!!”
As the giant golem that had terrified them was so easily destroyed, people couldn’t stop cheering.
I moderately agreed with the people’s shouts and looked once again at the goddess who had easily accomplished what I had been unable to do.
However.
“Uh… ?”
For some reason, her appearance had disappeared everywhere. The air she had been in until just now was empty.
As I was panicking and reflexively looking around, someone came up behind me and gave me a back hug without warning.
My eyes opened wide when I felt something voluptuous touch my back, but then my vision suddenly became dark.
“Whose~?”
She covered my eyes with her hands and playfully asked something in my ear.
I swallowed my saliva at the deadly scent that was hard to ignore, and carefully said the name of the Goddess of Death.
