Episode 203. Enemy or friend?
Baphomet and Monestier.
A battle between two apostles that risks their lives.
In the end, it ended in the victory of Baphomet, who showed slightly better abilities by a very small margin.
The long horn extending above Baphomet’s head pierced Monestier’s abdomen.
It was a dragon’s skin that was so hard that even Verdin’s sword could not cut it properly.
It wasn’t much help in the fight against an apostle with the same level of power.
“… Monestier, if you had just moved like I said earlier, this wouldn’t have happened.”
Baphomet, who transformed into a demon, pulled out the horn from Monkl’s body and continued speaking while enveloping his body in black smoke.
“Ugh, even if I die, I won’t become your toy.”
“So you betrayed me along with Jin?”
“I don’t know what Jin was talking about. I didn’t betray you. “You turned your back on the tower.”
“You turned your back on the tower?”
“Yes, all of this is to prevent the destruction of this world that you apostles want.”
“… Those are truly sad words. “How can someone who was chosen as an apostle of the tower do such a thing with such noble power?”
Monestier held the wound on his abdomen and smiled slightly.
“Because I have to protect it.”
“I heard that the owner of the Almighty Tower that you are talking about, whom I have not met yet, is a guy from another world?”
“I don’t know if that guy is the creator inside the tower. Outside the tower, he is just an invader.”
Baphomet, who had been quietly listening to the story, darkened his face, then grabbed Monestier by the neck with an angry expression and spoke.
“Shut up, Monestier. Do you know why you, a mere human being, were able to be reborn as an apostle?”
“… “It must have been TOP’s plan to use my anger to destroy the world.”
“No, the day when the one who stands on the edge of death returns. “It was to give the humans of this world a chance together with you.”
“You’re giving me a chance?”
“okay! Should this world really be destroyed or not? After receiving a new body through his own death, he personally went out of the tower to decide the fate of this world.”
“So I was working on selecting a new apostle while he was away.”
“Until he comes back. “To prevent the two rotten apostles, Ordin and Amon, from ruling the tower.”
Applause was heard from behind Baphomet. Monestier glanced quickly, grabbed the sword that had fallen to the ground, and whispered.
“You should have told me in advance. “If that were the case, Jin wouldn’t have abandoned you either.”
“… If only God knew what was in that guy’s body. “I should have told you this a long time ago.”
As soon as the conversation between the two ended, the space right in front of Baphomet’s face distorted and a staff popped out.
At the same time, Baphomet and Monestier avoided each other by pushing each other away.
The cane turned in the middle and pierced Monestier’s forehead.
“… Baphomet, you have been hiding such a secret until now. God descended to the human world through death. “This is truly an interesting story, isn’t it?”
Amon, who came out through the space, raised the corners of his mouth with a mean expression. Baphomet responded by raising a huge sickle made of black smoke.
“yes? “It’s a story you guys didn’t know about until now.”
“How could you tell such a secret from the tower? “You know I’m watching everything.”
“Because even if we find out, you guys can’t stop it.”
“You can’t stop it?”
“Yes, a human with God’s memory. “I have already given Jin a power that surpasses that of our apostles.”
“Not only that, but Dean, who has the body of a god, trained himself to become stronger than an apostle. “Now I no longer have to step up to protect them.”
“… Do you think that will help you get to the top of the tower?”
Baphomet shook his head.
“I don’t go to the top of the tower. “It’s just that the owner returns to his original place.”
“No, Dean and Jin just inherited the spirit of the tower. “I don’t have the blood of God.”
“So, it is natural that the top position will be held by the new owner of this tower, Lord Ordin, who inherits the blood of God.”
“I knew you guys would come out like that. Do you think I don’t know your intentions? King Amon.”
Amon shrugged his eyebrows loudly.
“What are my intentions?”
“Yes, make Ordin a god. “I am talking about your ambition to become human again and to realize the conquest of the continent that you were unable to achieve in your previous life!”
“The so-called apostles are not following God’s will, but are simply acting for their own self-interest. “God couldn’t trust you and left me behind.”
Baphomet and Amon glared at each other. They seemed to have read each other’s thoughts to some degree without even talking to each other, so they slowly backed away and kept their distance.
“Amon, his resurrection is to come to judge the living and the dead. “If you come to your senses and come back now, I will tell you so that you can be forgiven.”
“… late.”
“I said it was already too late, Baphomet. “I decided to see the end together with Ordin, so no matter what happens, I can’t go back.”
Amon pulled out the staff stuck in Monestier’s head.
He soon spoke with a cold expression.
“If I can be with my Lord Ordin, I will gladly face death.”
“It may be confusing now. So, I will give you one day to think about what to do next.”
Verzine de Strange.
Bergin de Rothschild.
The strongest wizard of this era with three names, and one who was chosen by God and reborn as an apostle.
To be precise, I planned to make myself an apostle, so rather than being chosen by God, I should say that I walked the path I had chosen for myself.
This is not what is important now.
The day he gave me was the only time I could decide what path I would take in the future.
I took a moment to catch my breath while looking at the blue sky from the top of Legion Castle.
“Rox, what do you think of me?”
“you?”

“what… . “They just think they’re strong.”
Yes, I am strong.
But that wasn’t what I meant by asking him now.
“Am I a good person?”
“No, he’s not a good person. “How many people and monsters have you killed? You must be a good person.”
“I don’t think there are people who kill without reason.”
“You killed him regardless of whether there was a reason or not.”
“But what… . “Do you need to be a good person?”
Rox asked an interesting question.
Do I need to be a good person? For a question that came out of his stupid mind, it was sharp.
“Yeah, I think it’s okay if you’re not a good person. “If you think about it carefully, you’re not a bad person, right?”
“It’s not like you’ve been acting like a villain until now. “I was just dealing with people who tried to harm you.”
“Are you saying it’s neither good nor bad?”
“Yeah, hey, think about it carefully. Are you the owner of that tower or something? “That bastard is also a god and is trying to destroy this world?”
“So is that guy a good guy or a bad guy? No one ever asks about this. “Because it was decided by God.”
“Now you are God. “You’re strong enough that no one will question your actions, so why bother?”
The corners of my mouth twitched without realizing it. Rox also smiled along with me as I burst out laughing.
“Am I right?”
“Yes, there are days in life when you are right.”
“But what’s happening in the tower right now is-.”
“Shh.”
“We’ll talk about that later.”
“Now then, let’s move slowly. Philip!”
When I raised my voice, Philip, who had been giving orders to the modified monsters on the castle wall, came running in one step.
Doo doo doo doo.,
“Have you built all the walls?”
“Not yet. If we continue like this, it will probably take half a day longer.”
“It should be completed before monsters come out of the tower.”
“… “I will try to do it as quickly as possible.”
“Okay, then I’ll go to the north with Rox. “You should wait here.”
Philip, who was looking at me with a bright expression, tilted his head and asked.
“Are you saying you’re leaving me behind?”
“I guess it has to be that way. “To match the time that guy Jin said.”
“but-.”
“Know. “The fact that you also wanted to go to the north.”
“I’ll take you with me when this job is over. Just wait until then. “I’ll make sure to bring the gift I promised you earlier on my behalf.”
“… “Are you sure?”
Philip let out a long sigh and nodded briefly.
“If monsters start coming out of the tower, attack without delay.”
“Yes, is it possible that we may have to deal with the Apostle along with the monsters?”
“One or two. A guy who controls monsters may come out, but we’ve already prepared for that, so don’t worry.”
“Prepare?”
“Yes, we will find out when this happens.”
The dragon’s hourglass has already begun to move. This is a fact learned through the memories of the red dragon remaining in the tower.
‘I don’t know where he is now.’
Now that it has become clear that this is the end of the causality established by God and his final choice that will lead to the destruction of mankind.
‘It must be seen.’
Why we have to exist here.
As I was riding a horse on the road heading north, I spread my aura as wide as possible and asked.
“Rox, you can now tell me what happened in the tower.”
“Is no one watching here?”
“Whoa, it’s hard to talk to you comfortably now. “They say that no matter where you go, someone is watching.”
“I can’t help it. “It means we have that much influence in this era.”
“It’s nice to hear you say that. “My mom would be so happy if she found out that I’ve grown this much.”
After lightly stroking Rox’s head, I gently pulled the horse’s reins and asked.
“So what happened after I left?”
“… Baphomet and Monestier fought. “The winner was the kid.”
As expected, Monestier, who has just become an apostle, cannot deal with Baphomet with his strength?
“Baphomet saved Monestier. “A guy named Amon suddenly came out and killed Monestier.”
“Amon?”
“huh. “This is a bit complicated, so let me explain-.”
Rox explained what had happened on the 81st floor since I left.
Baphomet has received instructions from God and selected a new apostle, and what Amon is planning.
Even though Monestier was wary of the two, he did not know the exact circumstances.
‘Then what was the reason for the rift between Baphomet and Jin?’
Jin is God.
God entrusted Baphomet with the task of selecting a new apostle. And the task of selecting a new apostle is to lay a foundation within the tower until he returns.
This means that there are errors or lies in memory mixed in.
“fun?”
“Yes, in the end, Baphomet has been moving until now to protect the god.”
“yes! “Amon was trying to take the place of God along with Ordin.”
“… I can’t believe you understood that far. “I’m even more surprised by that.”
Rox smiled and wiped the tip of his nose.
“I’m really smart now.”
“I guess so. “She’s a lot smarter than she used to be.”
“Haha, it feels good to get compliments. Anyway, what should I do now? “That Baphomet took my bug inside Asabrag.”
“Bugs?”
“Yes, my bug that Philip secretly hid inside Asabrag’s body. “He thought Ordin’s bomb was a fruit and followed him.”
“Where is the bomb now?”
“Because Baphomet swallowed it. “It’s probably inside that guy’s body, right?”
“In the body of Baphomet… … .”
There is a potential Eclipse, a bomb with enough power to blow up a country in an instant.
If you use him well.
This means that the apostles of the tower can be gathered in one place and wiped out in an instant.
“Rox, are you a bug attached to that bomb? “Can you control it?”
