Episode 196. Faith.
Philip and Rox, who followed Verdin to the entrance of the tower, looked at Amon and laughed.
Their reaction not only offended Amon, but also raised curiosity about why they reacted that way.
“If you don’t go inside the tower, how did you come here?”
Rox answered his question.
“secret.”
“Okay, secret. “You stupid apostle.”
“You foolish apostle, your words are too harsh. “I didn’t do anything to Rox.”
“Ebebe? Bebebebe!”
“… Phew.”
Philip, who had been listening to their conversation, came between Rox and Amon and cautiously opened his mouth.
“Amon, I heard that you have planned something very dangerous together with an apostle named Ordin.”
“Is that what Verdin said?”
“Yes, I heard everything about what happened so far and what you are about to do.”
“Everything?”
“… “What did Verdin say I was trying to do?”
“I don’t think I can tell you that. “I’m not sure if the information I know is correct or not.”
“I don’t mind if I’m wrong, so could you tell me?”
“doesn’t exist. “I’m not stupid and would you reveal our information?”
“You’re a coward.”
“That’s right, just like you, who has been hiding in the shadows for a long time and plotting despicable things.”
At his last words, Amon spoke with blood on his forehead as if he was angry.
“Nothing good will come of you provoking me. Even though this is outside the tower, it would be no surprise for me to kill you.”
“Hehe – what are you saying that we did? I didn’t say anything I wanted to hide. Are you trying to kill me just for this reason?”
“The cause is enough. “If you cut off his head for provoking an apostle, no one will say anything.”
“Then kill him.”
“… I beg your pardon?”
Philip spread his arms wide and continued.
“If you don’t like me that much, kill me. “If you can, do it.”
Amon couldn’t resist Philip’s provocation and clenched his fists. However, he did not take life lightly like the conversation we had a little while ago.
It would be enough to make up a cause to suit the situation, but right now, these are the people who are moving with Verdin.
‘If I kill that guy now, I don’t know what might lead to something in the future.’
Amon held back these thoughts.
“That’s it, the conversation ends here. If you don’t want to enter the tower, please turn back.”
Philip stepped back with a mocking laugh. Rox also followed behind her, laughing brightly, and Amon, who was facing them, cursed and monologued with an expression full of anger.
“Damn, if it weren’t for Verdin, I would have dropped his head right away.”
So Rox and Philip left, and they went outside Legion Castle and started cleaning up the surrounding area.
To be precise, the meaning of ‘cleaning’ here means to clean up the surrounding monsters and beasts so that no one is nearby.
“Rox, I will take care of the monsters and beasts. Could you please take charge of the adventurers and deal with them?”
“Yes, just kill them all.”
“… No, you just have to scare them away. “Aren’t there the bodies of Gunther and Hysteria that you received from Verdin not long ago?”
Rox rolled his eyes as if thinking about something, but then smiled brightly and answered.
“If you even show them their faces, they will get scared and run away. So don’t think too hard about it and just don’t let them come around here.”
“Those two aren’t here right now?”
“Why not bring it with you? “We’re both going to have to spend a few days here anyway.”
“No, you can’t bring those guys.”
“Because the operation is already underway.”
“… “Operation?”
“Verdin sent me to Elven Canyon. “I heard that their bodies should be dissolved in Mimir’s spring water there.”
“I don’t know the exact reason, so ask yourself later.”
Phillip squeezed Rox’s shoulder with an embarrassed expression.
“When did they leave?”
“A day ago.”
“A day ago?”
“Yes, I was told to leave without anyone knowing, so I sent it at dawn. I did tell you not to answer if someone else asks. “I told you to tell me if you ask me where I am.”
“Verdin?”
“Oh, and he told me to spread the word.”
“… “What do you mean?”
Rox continued, pushing Philip’s hand away.
“Gunther and Hysteria are my brothers. “It is not permitted to use Strange’s blood to create modified monsters.”
“However, the materials of the level you want can be brought to you through Elfhelm, so just wait a moment.”
“!!”
“Philip, my trusted friend.”
Philip bowed his head deeply and let out a light laugh.
“He’s a trustworthy friend, so I don’t know if he’s someone I can listen to like that.”
“I know. “To me, you look like a complete traitor.”
“Bae, you’re a traitor. “When did I do something like that?”
“it’s okay. “Then I’ll go scare the adventurers, and you can do your thing.”

“… Yes, as much as I put my trust in it. “I will make sure to get the job done.”
The upper floor of the tower, the 81st floor, which I arrived at after a long time, was no different from before. No, to be precise, it would be correct to say that it is the same as then, not before.
I am younger in this life than when I came here in my previous life.
I was lost in thought for a moment as I looked at the long, seemingly endless gray tunnel stretching out before my eyes.
‘My goal now is to head to the red dragon’s nest.’
But finding him wasn’t that simple.
I know that the area of the 81st floor alone is larger than the entire continent, and this cave-like road that I see right before my eyes is simply the entrance to the upper floor that leads to the vast land.
It took about half a year for me to arrive here and find the red dragon’s nest.
As of now that we know the route and are setting off, it should take at least three or four days.
I took out from my pocket the ‘Lucky Dice’ and ‘Octagonal Penduram’ that I had previously requested from Deacon Devery.
This is one of those items that is of little value outside the tower, but here it is a very valuable treasure that cannot be bought with money.
“Let’s go out of the cave first.”
I first used an octagonal pendulum and made it point north. I started walking slowly along the direction where the end of the penduram was pointing.
I tried to walk as quietly as possible, but my steps echoed in the passage. So much so that you can recognize it if you’re close.
But he didn’t stop walking.
If it’s a place where I can’t hide my presence with my skills, it means it’s impossible for the enemy to deceive me.
Because the monster’s abilities will never catch up with me.
With that thought in mind, I continued walking. And soon, we came across a passage that was divided into three branches.
If the octagonal penduram that shows the way wherever I go is the first weapon that will help me get out of here.
The second weapon is the Luck Dice, which shows the way for good things to always happen at every choice.
Tagdak.
The number 3 appeared on the surface of a die that was lightly thrown across the palm of one’s hand.
‘This is the safest route.’
The monsters that appear on the upper floors are all classified as champion level, so even I cannot easily defeat them.
Although there is no creature stronger than me, it is still better to move while conserving as much strength as possible.
‘You should avoid unnecessary battles.’
Moreover, although the path indicated by the lucky dice is guaranteed to be safe, it is unknown where it leads.
I drew my dagger and carved an X in front of the first and second entrances, then entered the third.
Because there is a chance that you can go around and return to the starting point, which is what you experienced in your past life, you have engraved a marker to prevent you from wandering.
‘Those who come for the first time don’t know this.’
I wandered around the cave for a while, carving signs along the way.
At the end of the road I arrived at, I encountered an unexpected situation.
‘… ‘What is that guy?’
A woman with red hair that goes down to her waist. She was naked, like a barbarian, devouring the monsters in the upper layer.
Quack, quack, quack.
‘You turned a champion level monster into such a mess?’
Could it be that he is a human with the blood of a god like Ordin? No, if that were the case, they wouldn’t be living here in such a barbaric manner.
I stopped for a moment and watched her movements. That woman was interesting to me because it was a creature I had not encountered in her previous life.
‘It’s amazing that humans are here.’
A person who can fight monsters with his bare hands. Moreover, the difference in skill was so great that he seemed to be able to subdue them without even a scratch.
“Dude, I guess that woman is not an ordinary human being.”
Siegfried looked at the red-haired woman with a serious expression.
“Do you think so, Master?”
“I also thought the same thing.”
Looking closely, I saw that I had dealt with the monster she was ripping in my past life. The name of that chicken-shaped thing is ‘Cockatrice’.
The owner of the body with the head of a chicken and the shape of a dragon. In my past life, I was also a monster that took half a day to subdue, so I know the danger well.
It means that that woman could be stronger than me in my past life.
“Be careful, Verdin.”
“If that woman was truly an intelligent being, she should have been wearing panties. “How could she be enjoying her meal while shaking her bare buttocks in such a manly manner?”
“It would be better to just avoid that pantyless crazy bitch. “Let’s not talk and take a different route.”
Was that what Siegfried meant in his mind when he meant that he was not an ordinary human being?
As expected, you seemed to be making a different judgment than me.
I’m not even angry anymore.
I ignored his words and approached the woman who was tearing apart the monster.
Quad deuk!
As the distance narrowed to within ten steps, the redhead hesitated for a moment, then slowly began to back away with the monster’s leg in its mouth.
This looks like a beast.
“Do you know how to use human language?”
The red-haired woman’s ears perked up at my question.
She nodded briefly as if she understood what I was saying, then smiled brightly and stretched out the leg of the monster she was eating.
“Yes, I am Verdin.”
“Yes, that’s right. My name is Verdin… .”
‘You know my name?’
Before my questions could be answered, the red-haired woman jumped high and flew towards me, spreading her arms wide.
“Verdin, eat!”
