Back to the world (3)
500 years ago, after the warrior defeated and sealed the Demon King.
The world was divided into two powers: the magic powers and the swordsmanship powers.
Half of the world is wizards.
Half of the world is inspected.
Although they had great influence throughout the world due to their superior military force and powerful firepower, there still existed a race of otherworldly beings who had escaped the world of magic and swordsmanship.
These are called mediums, or sorcerers. In the distant past, they were known to be enemies of the necromancers who commanded the dead. They called good spirits and spread beneficial effects, and exorcised evil spirits, secretly performing feats to save the world.
‘In other words, without me, the swordsmanship and magic skills are all nothing!’
The sorcerer Taniya confidently walked through the Stone Tear mines. It was said that a terrible evil spirit was sleeping here, sealed by a barrier long ago, and she had come a long way to exorcise it herself.
‘If we don’t exorcise this evil spirit in advance, it will cause great harm to the world, just like the global disaster that happened recently.’
The world seemed to believe that the world’s calamities had stopped thanks to Harang Paul Caladan resolving the Red Call incident on Yaryong Island, but that was not true!
Taniya knows.
“If I hadn’t sealed the ‘Statue of Disaster’ that day, the world would have been in real trouble. That incident was caused by the Statue of Disaster, but normal humans wouldn’t even know that, right?”
She had no doubt that she had solved the incident that had turned the entire sky red. After all, wasn’t the ‘Statue of Disaster’ she had sealed the worst bastard that had caused great harm to the world a thousand years ago?
I don’t know why such an item was rolling around in the hands of street vendors, but I stole it secretly in the middle of the night and sealed it neatly.
The street vendor was furious that he had been robbed, but he was just an ordinary person and didn’t know that the world was destroyed because of his greed!
‘If it weren’t for me and my fellow sorcerers, who would have been able to defeat all the demons and curses in this world? If it weren’t for us, the world would have been covered with evil spirits long ago.’
In fact, the frequency of bleeding from evil spirits or ghosts was more frequent than expected.
“Let’s see… … . It’s here!”
Taniya, who went inside the mine and used her magic to remove the triple barrier hanging inside, smiled faintly.
She was a genius sorcerer among geniuses. Perhaps even if all the sorcerers in existence were brought together, they would not be able to match Taniya’s talent.
Taniya was proud of her talents. The world knows what, Zelka Ainglass? Ailka Wilzed? Magical geniuses? They’re all nothing special. They may look great on the outside, but in the end, it’s magic that saves the world!
At least Harang Paul Caladan is gaining some fame these days.
‘Harang Paul Caladan? He should be grateful to me too. I’m doing my best for the world in the afterlife, so he can go around with his mediocre swordsmanship.’
The barrier was quite thoroughly secured. Unlike the first barrier on the outside, which was relatively easy to invade from the outside, the barrier became increasingly more difficult as you went further inside.
However, most of them were in a tattered state with their barriers in tatters, so they could easily enter with Taniya’s current magic.
Finally reaching the innermost, hidden space of the mine, Taniya chuckled at the sound of cries coming from here and there.
Hehehehe!!
Hehehehe!
Heheheehehe!!
To her, such a thing as a cursive phrase is now comfortable.
“The fact is that the more they scare you, the weaker you become.”
Taniya pulled out her magic sword and entered the sealed altar, looking around.
Torn amulets, half-broken pearl necklaces, and shattered gold chains are visible here and there.
“……huh?”
Those weren’t things that Taniya had broken. They were probably objects that were supposedly the barriers that were sealing away evil spirits.
But, they were broken.
“What… hey. Why is there a barrier… …?”
-Thank you.
“… … !!”
Taniya jumped back in surprise at the voice coming from above.
‘… …Great Evil Spirit.’
I swallowed dry saliva.
The altar’s ceiling. There, a huge demon’s face suddenly popped out and looked this way.
“You are the evil spirit sealed here. However, I feel that your power has weakened over time.”
-… … An evil spirit? Are you talking about me? Haha! How funny. I used to be famous as a comrade of the warrior, but now I’m an evil spirit.
“Don’t talk nonsense. If you were the warrior’s comrade, you wouldn’t have surrounded yourself with such a barrier.”
-Well… …Yeah, that’s true too. But it’s all meaningless now, right?
Taniya calmly prepared the sealing spell. She had prepared many spells. Although it did not have the destructive power of magic, her spells were effective against the ghosts that inhabited the world of the dead.
“… … !”
But, something is strange.
The aura felt from the evil spirit was growing stronger and stronger. And yet, it just laughed. Even though it knew that Taniya was preparing a spell to attack itself!
“… … Eight-wheeled cart!”
As she raised her dagger, eight silver chains stretched out, interlocking in the shape of gears and spinning roughly to bind the evil spirit.
Then, the face of the giant evil spirit began to shrink in size and soon became that of an ordinary-sized woman.
‘Okay! This is working!’
The power of the evil spirit is weakened! Taniya took advantage of the momentum and used the most powerful spell she could prepare.
“Dancheon Liquor Store!”
A translucent blue square formed, enclosing the woman’s body.
‘That place is a world of tones completely separate from this world. Once sealed, you can never escape.’
and.
‘That world will slowly shrink over time and eventually disappear completely.’
Tsk tsk tsk!!
As Taniya clenched her fists, the square barrier slowly shrank. At first, it was large enough for the woman to lie down in, but soon it became too small to move, and soon it contracted to the point where it was completely stuck to the woman’s body.
“Get out!”
Swish! He clenched his fist harder and poured his magic power into it. This is the end of the fight! No evil spirit will be able to escape… … .
“uh?”
However, her barrier stopped and could no longer contract as soon as it touched the woman’s body.

“Oh, this, this is why… … .”
Even if you pour more magic into it, the barrier doesn’t get smaller. The woman yawned from inside and tapped the barrier with her finger.
Clang!!
“……to?”
Clang? Is that barrier made of a material that breaks like glass? No. It’s a boundary that divides this world from another world, so there’s no concept of ‘breaking’. But if it’s to the point of breaking it, then what on earth should I do… ?
-Is this the end?
“… … !”
The woman sat down lightly on the floor, folded her arms, and looked around with a bored expression.
-I managed to break the barrier that bound my body with my own strength. Thanks to that, I was able to delay the weakening of my strength. However… …I still couldn’t get out. Even after 500 years had passed.
She looked at Taniya, who was retreating hesitantly.
-My name is Chelain. You’ve heard of it, right?
“Che, Chelain… … .”
I know. I can’t not know. Wasn’t she the ‘saint’ who was widely known as a comrade of the warrior 500 years ago?
It was revealed that she had died in battle. The whole world mourned Celine’s death, and every year St. Benedictus held a ceremony in her memory.
But, she’s become a demon? And with such deep malice?
‘Oh, I can’t believe it. How can a saint turn into a demon? That can’t be possible. She must be lying.’
Celine raised one eyebrow, as if annoyed.
-How pathetic… … I am grateful to you. I needed a body to go out, and you gave me a useful body just in time. I will gratefully accept the gift and use it well. I will use it for about 100 years and then return it to you.
“What, what did you say?”
100 years? By then, I would have either become a hunched over old lady or died of old age! Now, I am in my 20s and living a beautiful life, and I am being asked to sacrifice my body.
Absolutely not.
Taniya hurriedly turned around and tried to escape, but was blocked by an invisible, unknown barrier and fell down.
“Ugh!”
-Hey, be careful. That pretty butt is mine from now on.
“Ahh! Shut up!”
-Why do you look so wronged? It was your fault that I, a ‘disaster-level evil spirit’, was released into the world. I will now go out and dye the continent with death. Huh? You made a huge mistake. Isn’t sacrificing your body a small price to pay for such a mistake?
“Eek… … !”
This is nonsense.
-What kind of torture did I say I would do? It’s not like I’m going to hurt you. You’re getting a very easy punishment compared to the crime you committed.
Chelain approaches while saying that.
“Poem, I don’t like it… … .”
Taniya tried to resist somehow, but she had no chance. Her powerful magical talent was insignificant in front of the ‘former saint and great evil spirit’ before her eyes.
“… … Ugh, haa. Hooooo… … .”
A little later.
Celine, who had taken over Taniya’s body, let out a long breath.
“Haaaaaah. This is the feeling of breathing. Kukuk! It’s been so long, it feels a little unfamiliar.”
Chelain, who was stretching her arms out, smiled faintly and looked behind her.
“So, how do you feel about seeing your fellow warriors in person? The current generation of warriors?”
“… … .”
As soon as Chelain finished speaking, Harang walked in through the shadows with a displeased expression on his face.
As soon as the barrier was broken, I ran at full speed, but it was already too late. Because Celine had set up the barrier, I couldn’t come in even though I saw Taniya being attacked.
“Please put her back the way she was, Celine.”
“Well, well? Why me? I can’t go outside without this. Aww, it’s noisy. My head keeps ringing. This kid definitely has talent. He’s not losing his mind and he’s screaming inside.”
“… … .”
“Hmm, maybe that talent was actually poisonous? You’ll have to stay locked up like that for the rest of your life. But isn’t that the price you have to pay for letting me go? From now on, I’ll kill the next generation of warriors.”
Harang put down his ordinary iron sword and pulled out the ‘Hawon Sword’.
“Oh, right. If you become my comrade, I won’t kill you. You see, I’ve been labeled as the ‘comrade of the hero’ my whole life, right? Even though I’ve accomplished great feats on my own. I didn’t like that. Always being overshadowed by the hero Kaladan, it was really… … horrible.”
Chelain’s eyes calmed down.
“I always wanted to have all the attention in the world focused on me. But that wasn’t possible. In the world where the warrior Kaladan was, the whole world was looking at him. Well, that’s how it happened. I was jealous of that bastard, and I couldn’t hold it in, so I let it out. And this is how it turned out.”
Chelain playfully twirled the magic sword Taniya was using.
It wasn’t a weapon for cutting things down, but rather something like a staff for performing rituals with a magical meaning.
But she aimed it at Harang as if she was going to use it as a sword.
“That’s a good thing. Right now, you’re probably the most famous person in the world. Or you’re going to be. Isn’t that natural for a warrior’s comrade? If I drag you around like a pet, wouldn’t I naturally get the world’s attention all at once?”
Harang felt something was a little strange, but she didn’t bother to say it out loud.
“This little guy I just acquired has a pretty good face, so if he becomes famous, I think he’ll be able to live a pretty happy life for the next 30 years or so. So… … .”
“Are you asking me to crawl under you?”
“Hmm? Uh, well. Yeah. Right.”
“You could have just said one word, but why are you rambling on and on?”
“Sorry. Be considerate of the old man. I’ve been locked up here for a long time, so I’ve become a bit talkative. I’m just that kind of person. So… … .”
Chelain smiled faintly and disappeared in an instant. Harang’s pure white eyes shone and he hurriedly formed the lower sword into a shield to defend himself.
Kwaaaaang!!!
‘Ugh!’
Harang groaned and stepped back at the absurd destructive power that felt like a bomb had exploded.
“So, while we’re fighting, would you mind keeping me company? I’m so bored!”
Chelain, speaking playfully, swings her sword again. Seeing that such power comes from such a toy-like weapon, her true skills are probably beyond imagination.
But as strong as she is.
“… … It would be fun. Dealing with the warrior’s former comrades.”
Harang also couldn’t help but enjoy this fight.
