< Before going back >
The man handed the lily to Jang Yeong-shin and said.
“You guys go back to the carriage first.”
[···yes?]
“why?!”
The children following behind looked like they couldn’t understand.
You want me to go back to the carriage when I can’t even get out of here right now?
Urrrrrrr.
The man spoke as he re-mounted the hand cannon on his freed left hand.
“I don’t have time to explain everything. Go to the carriage, turn your back on it, and wait while you fight. I’ll be there soon.”
WHEEK!
The man left those words behind and flew away. In an instant, he leapt over the demons and pounced on the Red Goblin.
The Red Goblin stepped back and shouted.
“Kill that guy!”
As the magic circle was activated, the demons were following Red Goblin’s orders, perhaps because he had been granted the power to summon demons.
Looking at the dozens of demons rushing towards him, the man held Charlotte tightly.
“I don’t have much time, so I’ll have to push myself a bit.”
A brilliant light burst out from the sword that was swung horizontally.
Pacheonshin Sword, Form 1
Heavenly Demon Slash
-Paaaaaaaah
A dazzling light engulfed the demons. Everything between the man and the red goblin turned to dust.
“Coolook.”
Because he used the first move within the influence of the magic sealing barrier, he felt a strong backlash. The man wiped the blood off with the back of his hand and ran towards the red goblin who was looking at him with a shocked expression.
“Profit! Stop it! I’m telling you to stop him!”
Other demons rushed in, filling the empty space. The man raised the hand cannon in his left hand and aimed it at the demons.
-Pfft! Pfft!
The demons exploded like firecrackers, their fragments flying everywhere. The great man’s new form ran like lightning through the open road.
In an instant, the distance between them became zero.
and,
Thud!
The red goblin, who had been grabbed by the collar by the man, flailed his body as if he was having a seizure.
“Ugh! I can’t let this happen again!”
The man smiled brightly and said.
“No, this time it’ll be a little different.”
The man lifted him up and slammed him headfirst into the ground.
Kwaang! With a heavy sound, the red goblin lost consciousness. The man carried him over his shoulder and ran straight to the carriage.
“”mister!””
The children were struggling against the demons.
With the carriage behind them as a wall, the Iron Golem was in front, and Zeke and Hannah, who had personified themselves to the point of being precarious, were fighting on the left and right.
Lily was lying on the roof of the carriage, with Modrea guarding her from the side, drawing the bowstring.
WHEEK!
The man jumped up onto the carriage roof in one breath and laid the unconscious red goblin down next to Lily.
On Lily’s forehead, the mark of transmission magic was shining more clearly than before.
‘It’ll probably take about 2 minutes to activate… If I do it right, it’ll be close.’
The man, who had finished calculating in his head, spoke to his companions.
“Just hold on a little longer. I’ll finish it soon.”
Then he started searching through the carriage and taking out the things he needed.
A cross-continent journey that began in the village of Rowan.
Among the items that were brought in on this carriage during that time, there were quite a few items with mysterious abilities.
Things I stole from Randolph’s Thieves Guild.
Gifts received from Golkan at the border wall.
Gifts from the elves in the Elf Forest.
Including several artifacts brought from the casino.
“If you utilize all of this, you can create quite a few miracles.”
The first thing the man took out was a magical item that looked like a thin mask pack.
As a single-use item, the ability could temporarily – for about 5 minutes – duplicate an appearance.
As soon as I put the mask pack on Lily’s face, the once pure white mask pack turned black in an instant.
The man took off the completely blackened mask pack and covered it with Red Goblin’s face.
Ss …
The goblin’s appearance began to change to look exactly like Lily’s. Not only his face, but even his body shape was the same.
“···It’s a bit disgusting when you think about the contents.”
The man frowned for a moment, then immediately began his second task.
He was holding a small hand mirror in his hand. It was one of the items he had received as a gift from Golkan at the border wall.
As I shined the mirror on Lily’s forehead and injected magic into it, the mirror began to copy the mark on her forehead.

An item usually used to leave records at crime scenes where magic was used.
“But if you use it with this item, its purpose changes completely.”
A blue quill floated into the air.
It was an item called the
And this was possible when using
Ss …
The quill pen began to trace the mark of the transfer magic onto the forehead of the red goblin that had turned into Lily.
“And at the perfect timing···.”
The man watched the quill pen carefully as it drew its magic mark, then took something else out of his pocket.
It was an item received as a gift from a benefactor in the Elf Forest.
The ability temporarily removes all magical effects from the target’s body.
Ss …
And just before the sign was completed,
The man tore the leaves and scattered them over Lily’s body.
-Paaaaaaah!
A white light emanated from Lily’s body. At that moment, a red pillar of light came down from the magic circle and bounced off for a moment.
‘The link is broken.’
The moment he confirmed that, the man held Lily in his arms and escaped from the range of the pillar of light.
If you had just used
but,
Wooooow!
The pillar of light recognized the same mark closer and connected to it.
On top of the Red Goblin’s body that had transformed into Lily’s appearance.
Pus …
At the same time, the mark on Lily’s forehead disappeared. The target of the transmission magic was originally only one person.
“···mister···?”
Lily, who had lost consciousness, opened her eyes. The girl looked around with a blank expression.
The man said, patting the head of the still half-asleep girl.
“Grow up. I’ll tell you everything later.”
“huh···.”
Lily closed her eyes in the man’s arms. After confirming this, the man began his final task.
“Hey. You fake brat.”
Knock knock.
I kicked the Red Goblin who had turned into Lily, and after a while he woke up in pain.
“Yes, you… Huh!? What did you do to me!”
The red goblin, shocked by his thin voice and shrunken body, squealed and struggled.
However, the person had already put restraints on his limbs.
-Wooooooooooo!
The magical power from the mark engraved on his forehead was growing stronger. It was almost time to use the transmission magic.
The man put a gag in the Red Goblin’s mouth and placed a teddy bear bag on his back.
“I brought some presents. Share them with your friends.”
“Eww! Eww!”
Inside the bag, he put all the high-powered time bombs he had brought from Earth.
The man who set the timer for one bomb to [01:00] smiled as he pressed the start button.
“Oh, and by the way, just in case. Just in case. If you survive, could you please tell me?”
[00:55]
[00:54]
The man shook the
“I’ll stop by there sometime later.”
[00:49]
[00:48]
The man continued speaking with a big smile.
“Until then, I told you to collect a lot of good things in the warehouse.”
“Eww! Eww!”
At that moment, the transmission magic that had been prepared was activated. The Red Goblin’s body was enveloped in light and began to blur.
The man waved at him as he returned home.
“Then bye bye~!”
“Eeeeeeeep!!!”
-Paaaaaaaaaah!
After a dazzling burst of light, the Red Goblin disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, the magic circle in the sky was greatly weakened.
The man looked around at the demons surrounding the carriage with a relieved expression.
“Then shall we do some cleaning?”
Cleaning didn’t take long.

The home of Pandemonium.
The orc mask standing in front of the magic circle was pacing with an anxious expression.
“It’s taking longer than I thought.”
The wizard in charge of the magic circle spoke, watching him closely.
“I’m sorry. It’s a long distance···.”
“I know that much!”
The orc mask briefly glared at the wizard, then his expression softened and he smirked.
“Well, this amount of waiting is nothing compared to the treasure that will soon be in my hands.”
It was he who set a trap in the home village of the Child of Fire.
Eventually, children will come looking for their parents, and that would be the perfect opportunity to get the child of fire back.
While the goblin was running around on its own two feet, he was looking into the future and digging traps.
‘Hehehe. You stupid goblin. That’s why you’ll be under me for life.’
With the merits he has earned this time, he will be able to rise to a higher position.
On the other hand, the goblin who only chases after the child of fire will be thrown back into the underground prison. Or, he will be summarily executed.
‘It’s no use coming back and begging. How dare you disobey my orders… Even if you survive prison, I will kill you again with my own hands.’
As the orc’s eyes glowed coldly and he pondered how to dispose of the goblin, a burst of light erupted from the transmission magic circle.
-Paaaaaaah!
And a moment later, a girl with her arms and legs tied was lying on her side on the transmission magic circle.
A girl with red hair and eyes.
It was certain that the child of fire was in the orc mask’s memory.
“You’re finally here!”
The orc mask strode towards the child of fire.
“Ugh! Ugh, ugh, ugh!”
It was quite cute to see him struggling with a gag in his mouth. A sadistic smile appeared on the corner of the orc mask’s lips.
“It’s been a while. You’ve been causing us so much trouble…”
The child of fire writhed and writhed his whole body.
“Eeeeeeeep!!”
“Kuuuuuu. Don’t throw a tantrum like that. You’ll just end up having a hard time···.”
The orc mask approached the child of fire and released the gag.
At that moment, the girl screamed in a tearful voice.
“It’s a trap! Everyone, stand back! This is an enemy trap!”
“What? Phew!”
Of course, no one believed that.
The orc mask, the surrounding wizards, and the members of the organization all approached, snickering.
It was a while later that they heard the ticking of a clock.
“What is this sound?”
Tick. Tick. Tick.
When the girl opened the bag she was carrying, she saw that it was full of unidentifiable lumps of metal.
The Orc Mask lifted one of them in his hand.
I didn’t feel any magical aura, so I didn’t even feel the need to be alert.
However, it was interesting to see the letters written on the outside change little by little.
[00:03]
[00:02]
“Wow. What a strange-looking thing. Whoever took it and examined it···”
Those were the orc mask’s last words.
[00:01]
[00:00]
As the numbers changed to [00:00], a huge chain explosion occurred.
-Pfft!
-Pfft!
-Pububububububububung!
That day, the explosion blew away half of Pandemonium’s base.
Hundreds of elite troops were killed, five officers were killed, and countless experimental materials and results that could not be bought with money were lost.
Naturally, all the plans they had made had to be postponed indefinitely.
*

Whoosh! Whoosh!
Flames rose high into the sky, burning down the entire area where the village had once stood.
Last night, hundreds of villagers were sacrificed in a demonic summoning ritual. If left alone, the undead could arise, so the Great One ordered Lily to burn down the entire village.
“······.”
From a hill overlooking the village, Lily looked at the sight she had created with a somewhat dazed expression.
Bam.
A man suddenly approached her and placed a hand on Lily’s shoulder.
“It’s not your fault. Even if you hadn’t come, those people would have ended up being used as experimental material.”
The man examined the bodies last night and found many traces of having already been used in experiments.
Of course, this town may have been chosen because of Lily, but it was ridiculous to blame it on this child.
The man hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
“And your mother, whom I met yesterday···.”
How can I explain to my mother, whom I finally met again, that she was fake?
The man hesitated and pondered carefully over his choice of words, but soon realized that he did not need to worry.
“It was fake, right?”
“···Did you know?”
Lily nodded quietly.
There is a feeling that cannot be easily explained in words.
But I ignored that feeling because I just wanted to believe that she was my mother.
And only now has the girl admitted that her mother was a fake.
“My mother. She must be dead.”
The man scratched his cheek and answered.
“We haven’t found the body, so maybe.”
The man didn’t really think it was a lie.
I didn’t even hear it clearly from the dead assassin’s mouth that he ‘killed me.’
So, wouldn’t it be okay to give the little boy a little hope? Maybe his mother is alive somewhere, just like him.
I don’t know how she understood those words, but the girl looked at the man and smiled brightly.
“Then let’s go look for her again later! My mom might be in another country!”
The man chuckled.
You’re such a clever little kid. You’re always making up excuses to go out and play somewhere else.
Of course, I didn’t hate Dae-in either. I liked hanging out with the kid.
“Let’s go home for now. There’s still plenty of time left.”
“huh!”
Now all that remains is to return to Earth.
On the way back, I planned to do some sightseeing that I wasn’t able to do properly on the way here and also stop by some tourist attractions.
“It’s been way over a month since I promised… but I wouldn’t get fired from the guild.”
So, the man decided to end his trip and go back the way he came.
Oh, there was one thing I had to do before that.
The man called Modrea.
“Modrea. Come here for a moment.”
“······.”
“Don’t you have anything to say to me? No, you don’t?”
“······.”
To the doll, who maintained a blank expression, the master said with a face that said, ‘Why is it like this?’
“Then are you going to keep peeking from there like a pervert?”
At that moment, a smile spread across the doll’s previously expressionless mouth.
“Since when did you know?”
Through the doll’s mouth, Abraxas answered.
