Episode 197. Faith.
An unidentifiable red-haired woman, she said with a bright smile as she clung to me and swayed her body.
What does this mean?
If it had tried to eat me, it would have torn me limb from limb long ago, but seeing it just hanging on and staring at my face, it didn’t seem like that was what it meant.
If I had cut her down right away, this situation wouldn’t have happened. Unimaginably fast movements and unpredictable gestures never before seen on the battlefield.
It was even more amazing than the cat, which was said to have the most outstanding movements among the beastmen.
“Verdin, eat.”
“… “What do you mean eat?”
“it’s good. “Eat that.”
She pointed to the monster she was eating. You’re telling me to eat something that’s so terrible that it can’t be called food, or rather, it’s giving off such a bad smell that it’s hard to use it as an ingredient.
“I’m not eating.”
“eat.”
“I’m not going to eat.”
About 30 times like this, we expressed our opinions about what to eat or not to eat. Of course, as per her wishes, I did not eat monsters.
Making enemies at the entrance to the 81st floor was a very reckless action, so as long as there were no hostile feelings, I pretended to eat to maintain the relationship.
“ate!”
“I didn’t eat.”
“I pretended to eat.”
“Suffice.”
“Verdin, me and my friend. “Monster, I’m not friends.”
Judging by the level of conversation, it appears to have the intelligence of an animal. Still, since he has the skill to tear apart a champion-level monster, it would be nice to become friends with him.
After finishing the conversation, I took her hand away and started walking again in the direction pointed by Penduram.
Unlike me, who tried to keep my presence as low as possible, the red-haired woman straightened her back and confidently wandered through the cave.
“… “First of all, put this on.”
I tied her a red cape with Strange’s symbol, the crossed swords.
This is a place where there are not only monsters but also human villages, and if you walk around with a naked woman, you might be misunderstood, so you have to cover it up like this.
“Verdin, gift, good.”
“Okay, so cover yourself.”
“This is warm, I like it.”
“I guess so.”
So, I was accompanied to the 81st floor by an unknown red-haired woman, and soon after coming out of the cave, I was met by an uninvited guest.
In the midst of pure white snow falling from the sunny sky, the tower’s secretary, Amon, approaches, waving his staff.
He spoke with a very serious expression, different from his usual expression.
“Excuse me, but can we talk for a moment? “I’m just here to tell you, so the story won’t be long.”
“No, I have nothing to say to you in this situation. “There is nothing to hear.”
“Because it’s obvious.”
“What are you going to say to me? “You probably know the story of why I came here, and there’s only one reason why you guys are trying to stop me here now.”
“If I meet a dragon in this situation. It’s not just Ordin who will be in the most trouble. “Because he is the so-called master of the tower you follow.”
Amon nodded without denying it.
“If you’ve come this far, you know everything, so I won’t show any lies. However, I hope you know that we do not want to have a hostile relationship with Verdin.”
“Are those guys trying to take down Strange?”
“It was Ordin’s wish, so it was an inevitable choice. “He wanted to achieve his dream by conquering this continent, not simply defeating Strange.”
“Regardless, our Strange has suffered great damage. “It was a crisis where even I almost disappeared.”
Even if Amon had two mouths, he would have nothing to say. Even considering his ultimate goal, my death was involved.
‘But now there’s no hostility?’
To me, his excuse felt like nothing more than a play on words.
Amon blocked my path with his staff.
“I will refuse that request.”
“Please refrain from using force.”
“I also have no time to argue with you. Just open the way and deliver it to Ordin. “I’m saying we will never join hands.”
“… “Now Verdin, you probably know what the owner of the tower wants, right?”
I held the handle of the sword and threatened Amon by emitting aura from all over my body.
“So far. Let’s make a road.”
Amon must have been prepared for a battle with me, so he wrapped himself in mana and took a fighting stance.
“I can’t do that. “If we send you forward like this, we will all be in danger.”
“It doesn’t matter whether you do it or not. “As for the owner of the tower, you should meet Baphomet and talk to him, not me.”
“He has already decided to leave God’s hand and follow his own path.”
“okay? As far as I know, it’s not out of God’s hands. “I think I decided not to follow Ordin’s will.”
“I don’t know why the tower became divided into two forces. “I clearly know your goals.”
“So I’m asking for your help.”
“Once again, I am not involved in your fight. “Fight and fight regardless of whether the world is destroyed or not.”
“I’m just asking just in case. Have you taken Baphomet and his hand?”
I didn’t answer his question. This is because it is possible to keep both forces in check just by showing this appearance.
When there was no answer, Amon showed signs of discomfort.
“Then my relationship with you has no choice but to end here and now.”
“Interesting, I heard from Baphomet that you are the strongest of all the apostles. Give it your best shot. “I will welcome you with all my heart today.”
“Have you heard why I am strong?”
“Yes, as we have been recording the history of the tower for a very long time. “They say he has a vast amount of knowledge and growth potential to match.”

“A person close to the ultimate pursued by wizards who knows how to use all magic recorded in history from the beginning to the present.”
I looked at Amon and smiled lightly.
“A human chosen by the owner of the tower to be the first apostle, and a mythical being recorded as a god who founded the first nation on this continent in the past.”
“Demon King, Amon. “Do you think I don’t know your true intentions?”
Amon jumped towards me.
At the same time, I put aura in my sword and mana in my whole body. It is not difficult to block the magic using the artifact obtained from the tower earlier.
However, because his magic is a phenomenal power that goes beyond the realm of humans, we had to do our best to deal with it to prevent something unexpected from happening.
Kigigigigeek!
Hundreds of streams of mana flowed from Amon’s staff, spreading out in all directions and making a roaring noise.
“Your death today will not be known outside the tower.”
I remained silent and waited for him to approach. Now I can cut down anything that comes within the distance.
Even if that guy was called a god of the past, it would be impossible for him to stop me, who has reached the level of a sword god.
The distance between me and Amon gradually narrowed, and just before the battle broke out, an unexpected person intervened in the fight.
The red-haired girl who was scratching her head with an idiotic expression next to me just a moment ago jumped up.
Her appearance was powerful enough to break the flow of mana between my Auror and Amon that were opposing each other in the air.
“Verdin, my friend!”
A red-haired woman broke through the spirit and grabbed Amon’s arms.
“Well, what is this bitch?”
I just used force and tore it off.
It’s as easy as a strong child handling a stuffed toy.
It happened in an instant. If it weren’t for combat, the speed would be hard to even notice.
She smiled brightly, waving Amon’s arms in the air after tearing them off.
“Friend, if you bully me, you’ll die, Amon.”
Amon turned his body backwards with a look of horror and ran away.
Red blood spurted from both of Amon’s torn arms. He hurriedly used his mana to stop the bleeding, but the energy that had already been exhausted could not be restored.
“Damn… Verdin, who is that woman? “I never allowed that person into the tower.”
But I was certain that he was on my side.
“If you don’t know, find out for yourself. “If you are the secretary of the tower, shouldn’t you know everything that happens here?”
“It means that you will come out like this until the end.”
“Now that things are like this, I guess we have no choice but to bring the real Amon here.”
“Really Amon?”
“Do not regret, for this is all your own fault.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. “So you’re saying you’re a fake Amon?”
Amon looked at her and me in turns, gritting his teeth, then split the space and ran away to another place, giving a small monologue.
“We didn’t want a fight with you.”
At the time when Verdin was attacking the tower.
Ordin, the master of Ragnarok, made a new decision.
If he continues like this, not only will his entire plan go awry, but he may end up losing everything to Baphomet, who is in opposition to him.
Although I don’t think that will happen, what should I do if they become the new owners of the tower?
In order to prepare for this, a new strategy was gathered through conversations with Apostle Amon.
“Assabrag, Dorothy. There is no longer any need to wait for the trends of the times. You must immediately head to the royal capital and kill the emperor.”
He came to implement a plan big enough to overturn history. To prevent Verdin from his previous life from experiencing that moment when he gained great power.
Strange can never conquer the continent alone.
In this land where countless families are distributed, it is certain that rebels will arise if you simply try to suppress them by force.
‘They have no right to become the owners of this land.’
What if a Rothschild blood person were to sit on the emperor’s throne while Verdin was away?
Not only will we be able to stop Strange without war, but we will also be in a better position to keep Baphomet in check.
The reborn Asabrag and Dorothy answered Ordin with determined eyes.
“This operation must not be known to others. So, move to prevent rumors from spreading abroad.”
