I’m Not Coming Back to Earth With a Girl Like You - Chapter 50
50 – #050 Why sacrifice everything for one
Three days from the declaration of Harald, Grand Duke of the North.
When I came to the center of the Grand Duchy, it was already the third day since the Northern Grand Duke declared independence as a ‘kingdom’.
All over the city, traces of the former Grand Duke were being erased, and the streets were filled with former Grand Duke soldiers patrolling – now soldiers of the kingdom.
“Find the Fallen Hero Undertaker!”
“The Goddess Church has abandoned us! But these people are trying to use the power of the warriors to rule us! They want to kill all who resist!”
“The saintess who kills the other warriors and turns them into witches, and uses the power of the warriors to kill all those who resist her, is the true witch!”
Soldiers started roaming the streets and inciting people.
People had no choice but to believe it, even though the propaganda was really pointless, ridiculous, and a million years away from the truth.
“It’s ridiculous. How could a saint become a witch…”
“What did you just say?!”
“Oh, I didn’t say anything!”
“You bastard, you’re a heretic! You’re a follower of the Central Church! Catch me!”
“Keah!!”
Even if you said even the slightest nonsense, the soldiers immediately branded you as an impure element and threshed them on the spot.
“Prove your innocence by death!”
“Bring the pole! Bring the firewood! I’ll light a fire to see if you’re the witch’s minion or not!”
“If you catch fire and die, you die as a human being. If you stay alive after being set on fire, you are a member of the witch’s household!”
“Light the fire! Heretics are burned at the stake!!”
The soldiers were in madness.
There was no thought that their actions were wrong.
“I hate you!! Save me! I don’t want to die!!”
“Burn it!”
“Aagh!!”
The most painful way for humans to die is to be burned to death.
But now the soldiers are randomly burning people on fire.
Even-
“Dad—-!!”
“Oh no! Don’t come, don’t come!!”
Could it have been a daughter?
A child, now about five years old, ran toward the man who was being held at the stake.
The man whose feet were burned was screaming loudly at his daughter in pain.
“Don’t come!!”
“Is that right! That girl is also the daughter of a heretic! Tie her up! I’ll burn her with my father—”
Bah-ah!
I didn’t think it would work.
Before I could do anything, my body moved first.
The soldier who was trying to catch the child and throw it into the fire hit the head with a shovel, and at the same time ran forward, broke the stake, and ran backwards with the man.
“He appeared!! The Undertaker!!”
“It’s the witch’s advance guard! I’ve released the seal of the magic sword, and I’ve got Titania, the massacre fairy!”
Soldiers came out from all directions as if they had been waiting.
It wouldn’t have been that the story of me coming to the north had spread, but the soldiers assumed that I would appear and jumped out in an instant, as if they had trained.
“Little boy. Sprinkle this all over your father’s feet. You’ll get better in 10 seconds, so run away.”
I took out one of the potions I had and handed it to the child who had fallen on the floor.
Without a chance to answer, the child hurriedly ran to his father and poured his potion on his feet.
“Thanks…!”
Because of the smoke from the burning firewood, I couldn’t finish talking and vomited out the smoke, but I could see what he wanted to say.
There is no such thing as resentment or anger toward me.
What that man feels right now is anger towards the northern soldiers who accused him of being a heretic and tried to kill him.
“I guess only the northern dukes and soldiers are serious about the rebellion?”
Titania jumped out from inside.
“What do you want to do? Are you going to hold out until the Grand Duke comes out?”
“No.”
She sat down lightly with her doll’s body and smiled at the soldiers who were forming a circle around us. I grabbed the shovel spear and stood squarely at the Grand Duchy’s castle.
“The hero ended by defeating the demon king. The only thing left here is one returning soldier who couldn’t return home.”
“Undertaker! I knew you would come! I am the white wolf of the north, Iris Pioneer! I will capture and subdue you, the advance guard of the Goddess Church!”
“The words are slick, but let me ask you one question.”
I pointed to the carbonized traces under the knight’s feet.
“Since the Declaration of Independence, how many people have been killed in the name of heresy?”
“…….”
Do not answer.
The eyes hidden under the helmet were looking down, and I grabbed the shovel again.
“Did you kill so many that you couldn’t answer right away? Huh?”
I asked sarcastically in the sense of denying it, but even he didn’t answer.
“…It’s not strange that the streets are filled with the energy of death. All those who did not agree with independence were condemned as heretics and executed. Enough to kill them all in real time like this.”
“Shut up!”
“There will be no more hesitation. Titania. Do whatever you want.”
“Huh?”
I took one light step forward.
Then, the soldier next to me, who aimed a bow at me, shot an arrow right away, and I went forward without dodging.
Ta-ang!
With a harsh sound, the arrowhead and shaft separated and bounced on the floor.
If you were an ordinary human, arrows would have been stuck in your body, but I, the body of a warrior, was unmoved by the soldiers’ attacks.
“Uh, uhhh…! It’s the demon king’s power! Arrows don’t work!”
“Goddess’ protection, you idiots. If it goes against them, even the power of the goddess is made into the devil’s. You’ve made up your mind.”
The Demon King has disappeared from the continent.
However, if someone who does the same thing as the demon king appears again, who wouldn’t call it the demon king?
“I don’t care what you guys do, I just got two things off my nerve.”
One.
“Insulting the saintess.”
Two.
“… Chae Yu-ri, making her sit as a royal wizard.”
“Don’t insult the court mage recklessly!”
The knight is running.
“Hey, you know what?”
I forgot his name, so I didn’t know who it was, but that didn’t really matter.
Slowly!
I swung the shovel sideways, and the knight fell as red blood spurted out along the path of the blade.
“Those who are killed by the mortician become ghosts with their souls unable to leave the body.”
It’s a lie.
It’s just people’s superstition.
But that’s why they can’t attack me recklessly.
If you are killed against someone you can’t attack, your soul won’t go to the underworld and will be tied to your body?

No one dares to attack.
“Where is Chae Yu-ri now? Oh, yes. He must be in the castle. Because he is a palace wizard.”
I walked forward.
The soldiers tried to stand in my way again, but as soon as a red trail passed around their bodies, blood broke out.
“Sure.”
I’m holding a shovel.
“If you’re not going to bring Chae Yu-ri in front of me, get lost!! You bastard bastards!!”
Facing forward, I ran with all my might.
“Stop! Fallen warrior, you are me-“
Per-euk.
Breaking everything in the way with a shovel.
* * *
A scream resounds in the castle.
Archduke Harald was leisurely walking along the corridor where the portraits of successive dukes were hung.
“Are you here?”
“…….”
I wiped my eyes covered by the rain of blood with my hand, grabbed the shovel again, and approached the archduke.
“Undertaker. Let me ask you a question. Why do you not want to return to your original world?”
“I want to go back. I intend to go back. With the person I love.”
“Isn’t that person from this world?”
“So that’s what I’m talking about. Hey, where is Chae Yu-ri?”
Again, I pushed back the soldier charging from the side with the shovel.
Physically preventing them from approaching meant nothing to them, so I made them unable to cling to me forever.
“Tell Yuri Chae to come out.”
“Do you have any thoughts about what the Central Church did to people in other regions?”
“Uh. Nothing. It’s none of my business.”
To be honest, I want to take a swear word and pour it out.
The war is over, what kind of war is it again, do you have thoughts or not, people have died in many places, and if you cause trouble like this, how will people live from now on?
I wanted to pour out all the swear words, but on the way, I killed too many people.
I killed so many people who didn’t even suspect that I was a heretic, and I didn’t want to complicate things any further.
“Tell me where Chae Yu-ri is. If you speak obediently, I’ll kill you cleanly.”
“What if you won’t tell me?”
“Either die without telling me. I will kill you anyway.”
I stood before Archduke Harald.
His massive height of nearly two meters and his stocky build forced me to look up at him, but I didn’t care and aimed my shovel at him.
“Give me 10 seconds. Tell me where Yuri Chae is.”
“Wasn’t the red wizard your ex-girlfriend?”
“Don’t try to kill time with questions. Time is running out.”
5 Seconds.
“The Red Wizard still loves you.”
“Stop talking bullsh*t.”
“He wants to go back to Earth with you.”
1 Second.
“I, Harald—”
Puff.
I thrust a shovel into Archduke Harald’s abdomen.
“I don’t care what you do, I don’t care why you side with the enemy mage. Well, at best she’ll take the barding and how she’s going to kill me. If she’s that woman.”
“…She said. If I wanted to do something against you, it would be faster to ask for forgiveness after I did it.”
“What?”
What is this man saying?
“I, keuh, only hope for the fall of the Church. The fall of the Central Church… Will bring prosperity to the North. Even if it’s not my kingdom.”
“What the hell are you…”
“The barding has been released.”
Harald laughed at me, bleeding.
“The Red Wizard is now in the Vatican.”
