Episode 201. Enemy or friend?
I don’t know how long time passed, but when I opened my eyes after entrusting myself to the red pillar, the scenery around me had changed.
The flames flowing out from the cracks in the cracked ground stopped and lost their heat. The red dragon’s nest, which had walls so high that it reminded one of a dungeon, had collapsed.
I don’t know why his territory, which was filled with gray, changed like this.
The person in front of me now looks so carefree.
“Haaaam, Verdin. “I came to see it, the memories of the red dragon.”
I stretched out my sword with a movement that was considered swift and aimed it at her neck.
“… Let your imitation of an idiot stop here. “Isn’t the red dragon you?”
She waved both hands in the air with an embarrassed expression.
“Oh, no. “I am not a red dragon.”
“Then what are you? Please explain. “The power that can easily tear apart even the apostle who reigns like the god of this tower, and the identity of the four years that not even the scribe of the tower knows about.”
“I don’t know about that.”
“I do not know either. who am i But I am not a red dragon.”
“Then what on earth are you?”
“I am… . I am… .”
There was no lie in his eyes.
However, there was no evidence that she was telling the truth. Let me show caution in case of a counterattack.
Monestier, who was looking at the two of us, approached us with a smile on his face.
“What’s going on?”
“Do you know this woman’s identity?”
“… I do not know. “This is the first time I’ve ever seen her, and seeing as she’s naked and wearing only a cape, I think she’s out of her mind.”
“I thought so too. But there are so many things about this woman that I don’t understand.”
I straightened the blade and stuck it right in front of the chin of the woman I thought was a red dragon.
“Besides staying on the 81st floor, which is near the top floor of the tower. As I said a moment ago, I have the power to overpower Amon in an instant, but no one knows what it is?”
“This doesn’t make sense. Do you think Imperator and Ordin will stay still while this guy is running wild in the dragon’s lair?”
Monestier stared at the red-haired woman for a long time with one eye strained, then shrugged his shoulders with an incomprehensible expression.
“I don’t know, I have no idea. I don’t think I can judge. “I don’t know if that woman is a red dragon or not.”
“How many people in the tower do you think can take on Amon?”
“Two or three.”
“Yes, I think so too. And one of them is the apostle Ordin.”
“If Imperator fights sincerely, that too will be possible. Of course, that guy who can’t even be bothered to breathe won’t come forward.”
As I showed a firm attitude, the red-haired woman had tears in her eyes.
“me… . No, red dragon. I am… . My name is… .”
A gunshot was heard not far away. Since there was no place nearby to hide, it took less than a second to figure out the identity of the criminal.
‘Dorothy.’
It can’t be considered close since it’s located at least a small mountain away.
‘It was a sufficient distance for them to target us.’
Monestier spread his wings to block the bullets.
When I looked at the tip of the wing where his gaze was directed, I saw that it had easily pierced his skin, which even my sword could not cut.
‘What’s that gun?’
No, is Tan special?
How could something like a gun hurt a hatchling’s body?
“That’s pretty cool. For Ordin’s toy, it’s stronger than I thought.”
“I think they followed me.”
“you?”
“Yes, because there is no way Ordin would have any business with you in this situation.”
“… Probably not? “I don’t know about you, but right now this tower is like a battlefield for the apostles.”
“Battlefield of the Apostles?”
“Yes, the trials that the tower owner shared with the apostles have long since disappeared. “An era of great chaos has come to this place where the owner has disappeared.”
“An era of great chaos?”
“… Yes, soon the world will change hands. A power that can only be obtained by those who reach the top of the tower. “With a power that no one has yet achieved.”
Monestier only uttered a few words, and the entire situation was understood, as if the pages of a child’s fairy tale were being turned in one’s mind.
Why do I know all these facts? As if I was reminiscing about something I experienced a long time ago.
Gunshots rang out once again. This time, Monestier did not stay still but flew quickly and caught the bullet in the air.
He turned his body around and threw it in the direction where Dorothy was.
This was faster than when fired from a gun. A level that can never be traced by human eyes, and cannot react even if one enters the realm of one’s unfolded auror.
The person who could prevent this was next to Dorothy. A person with a higher level of skill than a human.
A person who has now reached the same level as those called apostles.
He blocked the bullet with his sword.
“… Monestier, it’s been a while. “And you, Verdin, too.”
Assabrag and Dorothy are back.
They had definitely died by my hands. To bring them back, the power of Maria Theresa or Joanna Arc would have been needed.
‘The probability that Ordin snatched Theresia is close to zero.’
In that case, there is only one way for him to choose: it means that he found Joanna Arc, which I hid in the tower.
‘So you’re saying the Dead Lord was defeated by Ordin?’
It is said that among all his apostles, he is among the top five. If a battle had taken place, he would not have been defeated so easily.
I turned my head in the direction of Asabrag and smiled.
“You’re back again.”

“I missed you.”
“Me too. I really wanted to kill you no matter what. “I can’t believe I’m being given another chance like this.”
Given another chance?
“You think you can defeat me when you’ve already lost three times?”
“No, you can’t win. But I have a way to kill you.”
“How to kill me?”
“… Yes, no matter how strong you are.”
Asabrag’s eyes looked at me the same way they did before he swallowed Timeless.
‘In the end, will we go back to that time?’
To a time when I was eroded by endless anger and became crazy about killing.
‘So that means he escaped the Timeless Alchemy.’
Monestier drew his sword.
“Verdin, I will block this place, so please leave.”
“Yes, isn’t it time for you to waste your time in a place like this?”
“Jin will be waiting for you when you leave the tower. “Top, please come back with him.”
“Monestier.”
“Hurry up. “It seems like Baphomet has started to move in earnest.”
“I think he noticed something about you and Jin.”
“how? A guy I didn’t know until now. “No, how do you know that?”
“… I’ll explain when the time comes. First, you must leave the tower.”
Before I could finish my conversation with Monkl, Asabrag jumped towards us.
“It’s funny, I came to catch the red dragon, but I never thought I’d be able to kill you too!”
I came to catch the red dragon.
This is absolutely impossible with his skills. So did Ordin give him powers I don’t know about? Although it was strange for him to show such confidence towards me.
‘Let’s get out of the tower first.’
Whether he can beat me or not, what I have to do now is not fight him.
With these thoughts, I called Greedori. Then, Greidori roared as it flew through space.
For a moment, time seemed to freeze and everyone stopped moving, and only when I began to enter the space beyond did the battle between Monestier and Assabrag begin again.
Verdin has left.
Monestier and Assabrag, who remained in the Red Dragon’s nest, clashed.
They fought for a long time until one of them lost his breath, and in the end, the flag of victory was tilted towards the apostle Monestier rather than the human Assabrag.
Monestier is a sword master who inherited Strange’s blood in the past, and is currently walking the path of an apostle.
Although it is still in the state of a hatchling, which can be called a baby dragon, it still has strong skin that cannot be cut with a decent sword.
Asabrag, who lost his Timeless memories, was unable to defeat him.
Red flames rained down on Asabrag’s head.
“It’s over, Asabrag.”
Then, while his view was blocked, Monestier plunged his sword into his abdomen.
Blood poured out of Asabrag’s mouth.
The fight is over.
Dorothy, who was watching the fight between the two, continued to fire bullets to help, but it was already too much to change the outcome.
Taang, taang, taang!
Monestier’s flame, which had subdued Assabrag, was directed directly at Dorothy, so there would be no one here who could deal with him.
The champion-level monsters living on the 81st floor also judged this.
The situation turned around with the appearance of just one person.
“Baron Monestier, you must not kill him yet.”
Suddenly, the sky split and the black smoke that came out changed into the shape of a huge palm and wrapped around Monestier’s body, preventing him from moving.
“… Baphomet.”
“Whew, that’s good. “If I had been a little later, I would have lost you.”
Monestier, who had taken the form of a hatchling, answered in a low voice.
“What does that mean?”
“What do you mean, Monestier almost died?”
“Am I talking to that Rothschild kid?”
“Yes, see. “What the author has in his body.”
The black smoke that was wrapped around Monestier’s body slowly drifted out and entered Asabrag’s mouth.
After a few seconds, an object came out through the esophagus along with smoke, startling Monestier.
“You know. This is one of the ancient weapons created by the imperial army a long time ago. “A bomb containing a spell with the power to blow up a country.”
A bomb the size of an apple and with angel wings.
“Eclipse, is this Ordin really trying to hunt the red dragon?”
Baphomet nodded briefly, came out through space, and swallowed the Eclipse taken from Asabrag’s body.
“… By the way, Monestier, can you tell me where the red dragon has gone now? Otherwise, I have no choice but to kill you with my own hands, haha.”
