Chapter 16 – Goddess of the Magic City (2)
Magic.
It is the power to change the invisible into the visible.
Like swordsmanship or martial arts, anyone can acquire them with effort, but like swordsmanship or martial arts, there is a wall of talent that cannot be overcome through effort alone.
Magic has been a mysterious power that has existed on the continent of Crea for a long time, but it was not exclusive to humans.
Humans felt this painfully when they saw the demon king’s army that invaded their land in the past.
The Demon King’s magic was so terrible and destructive that it could not even be compared to that used by humans.
A merciless weapon that exists only to kill, destroy, and burn.
To the wizards of the continent who basically treated magic as a branch of science, it was a truly shocking sight.
This was one of the reasons why humans repeatedly lost battles to the Demon King’s army in the early days of the war.
If the magic of the human wizards was like a match, the magic of the demon king’s wizards was a blazing burner.
It seemed like there was no chance of winning, and it was.
Everyone would have given up the idea of using magic to fight against the Demon King’s army.
If only she had not descended from her heaven to open a new horizon of magic.
Thanatos El Krezel.
After marrying the hero Ion Reyhard, she became Thanatos El Krezel Reyhard and was the faith of all wizards on the continent and a piece of myth itself.
During the Battle of Holy Music, her performance that Thanatos showed in her magic battle was far superior to that of the other four goddesses.
As a goddess with the terrifying name of the Goddess of Death, Thanatos inflicted countless deaths on the Demon King’s army during the war.
The wizards of the Demon King’s army, who were slaughtering human wizards like killing ants, realized belatedly when they saw her magic that came down from the sky.
That they were nothing more than a little big ant.
That he was destined to be killed by a truly strong man.
The humans’ magic was a match, and the Demon Lord’s magic was a burner.
And the magic of the goddess Thanatos was the magma of death erupting from the crater of a huge volcano.
Her power was something unconventional and on a different level from everything else on earth.
“Did you already know I was here?”
I secretly asked Thanatos, who was walking side by side with me, making the clicking sound of his high heels, about something that bothered me.
“I sensed you entering the city with my magic. As you know, Krezel is surrounded by a special invisible barrier.”
As the magical city of Krezel was a prosperous city with a large population, there were quite a few crimes big and small.
The wizards of Krezel had various crime prevention measures in place to prevent illegal activities, which were increasing day by day with the development of the city.
The barrier surrounding the outskirts of the city was one of them.
“Then who came to see me after hearing that I had entered Krezel?”
“Huh? I’ve never received anything like it? Basically, I am the only one responsible for maintaining and managing the barrier.”
Thanatos lightly stretched her and said it as if it was no big deal, but I couldn’t hide my surprise at his words.
I would have guessed that he was able to maintain this large barrier that completely surrounds a city by himself, without anyone else’s help.
It seemed that the rare archmage with the nickname ‘Lord of Seduction’ was not just anyone.
“Did you come back from the Lepothesia Forest?”
“Yes, I was with Demeter for a while.”
“I see. “Is Demeter healthy?”
“Well, yeah…”
I nodded naturally, being careful not to show my prickly expression.
Fortunately, Thanatos did not doubt my words or say anything.
We walked along leisurely, having a conversation that a married couple could have.
Even though the hero and goddess who saved the continent were leisurely walking through the streets, no one around us spoke to us as if they knew anything.
Even though I had stopped disguising myself and Thanatos was also showing his bare face, it was all thanks to the recognition-impairing magic that Thanatos had secretly unleashed.
“Anyway, what on earth was that golem fuss about earlier? “Have you heard anything from the investigation team?”
“In all likelihood, some idiot secretly used a monster conversion spell that they were told not to do and caused an accident.”
“Monster conversion magic?”
“It’s a dangerous magic experiment. “It is a magic performed on a monster corpse, but if done incorrectly, the dead monster can be temporarily resurrected, so it was banned.”
Thanatos explained and coolly raised the corners of his mouth.
“Since they did something so blatantly that they were told not to do, the instigators should be punished appropriately. A very appropriate punishment…”
Thanatos put his hand to his mouth and laughed softly.
Thanatos’ face, which mentioned the word ‘bee’ several times, was eerily beautiful.
My guess is that the instigators of the Golem incident would be punished quite harshly.
It was a perfect punishment for carrying out such a dangerous experiment in the middle of the city, but I still felt sorry for the unknown instigators.
“Hwiyu~ That pretty girl over there, are you free right now~?”
As we reached a quiet area on the outskirts of the city center, chatting with each other, some grumpy-looking gangsters suddenly approached us from the front, waving their hands.
Then he very proudly blocked our path.
“Wow, it’s even more amazing when you see it up close?!”
“Would you like to go somewhere and have something to eat with us? “I’ll shoot~.”
Two gangsters appeared out of nowhere and started doing mean things to Thanatos even though I was right next to them.
He was blatantly ignoring me, as if to say that there was no problem in doing the work regardless of whether there was a man like me.
Thanatos and I were currently casting a perception-impeding spell, but this spell didn’t work well on those guys who were so openly looking for women to hunt.
The perception-blocking magic had the effect of hiding the identity of the caster and specific people around him, but it did not make him invisible or invisible like an invisible person.
Therefore, it was difficult to completely block in advance the hunting men who were tempted by Thanatos’ post-human appearance.
“But this girl is really killing it…”
The gangsters who were openly looking at Thanatos’ body secretly licked their lips.
Although her behavior was extremely rude, it was not unreasonable for her bullies to taste her like that when they saw her.
The sight of Thanatos standing still on the street was something that even I, his husband, would be amazed at.
A haughty yet alluring beauty that stimulates men’s desire to conquer,
Sensuous big breasts and a thin ant waist wrapped in a black Chinese dress,
The length of the skirt is very short, so you can’t help but see the smooth thighs and calves.
A peerless beauty, any man with a healthy body would have had unhealthy fantasies of her at least once.
“Hmm, what should I do…”
Thanatos tapped her lips and muttered those words softly as if hesitating.
At that moment, I couldn’t believe my ears. I couldn’t believe that the words I just heard came from Thanatos’ mouth.
Men with such shallow and light behavior were exactly the type of people Thanatos disliked.
Above all, no matter how I thought about it, it made no sense for me to show interest in these scoundrels when I was right next to them.
“It would be much more fun to hang out with us than to be with a guy like this.”
The woman they were currently flirting with was Thanatos, the goddess of death. Her bullies, unaware of her dreams, slowly narrowed the distance between her and her.
The gangsters, who seemed to have decided that Thanatos had almost crossed over, reached out and tried to grab her wrist.
“… Huh?”
But her hand never touched Thanatos.
This was because the moment she was about to touch Thanatos, the gangsters recognized something that appeared before their eyes.
“W-what is this?!”
“Ghost, it’s a ghost!!”
When he saw the burning skull that suddenly appeared, he was shocked and took a picture of her buttocks.
When the skeleton gritted its teeth and tried to cling to them, the gangsters threw away everything, including their work, and ran away.
People walking around were laughing and looking at these gangsters as if they were crazy.
“It won’t be visible to anyone but us.”
Thanatos, who looked away from the gangsters who were running away, patted her hand and said.
“Then now that we’ve taken out the trash, shall we go again?”
Thanatos lightly approached me and hugged me by one arm, raising the corner of her mouth playfully and smiling.
I think what he just said was just a prank to make fun of me.
“Uh, yeah…”
I looked at Thanatos, who had returned to his normal self, and mechanically nodded his head.
