Episode 209. Enemy or friend?
Legion skies.
Vergin smiled as he watched the clash between the monsters flowing out of the tower and the troops Verdin had prepared.
Even though he was at the center of a battlefield where two forces clashed frantically, he seemed leisurely and without any anxiety.
“Hurry up and decide, Verdin. If this continues, everyone will die before you do anything.”
He let out a mean laugh, like an old nobleman enjoying a dark hobby in a cozy space. Rather than appearing evil, this is a reaction that seems to simply be enjoying the situation.
As the monsters flowing out of the tower gradually expanded the area within the castle, Albus, the only survivor among the five generals, approached and spoke to me.
“Hello, Bergin. “My name is Albus, and I am one of the five generals on this continent.”
Bergin glanced at him and answered with a smile on his face.
“Yes, I know about you. “I heard you entered the Great Wall under the pretense of joining hands with them to overthrow the Beopwangqing?”
“That’s right. Well, Verdin did a great job in completing the matter.”
“You mean revenge?”
“yes. You made it more painful for them than I thought. “Jin will also know the result.”
“… yes. I heard news about them. “They say the entire Beopwangcheong was turned into a wasteland.”
Bergin frowned briefly, as if he did not like his answer. This is because the person they spiritually serve is the owner of the tower, which means Jin. Although Albus knew all of this, he continued the conversation without worrying about what he was seeing.
“Anyway, how is it that Jin, the owner of the tower, remains here?”
“How did you know that I was the owner of the tower?”
“I heard from Philip. “He was walking around as a party member with Verdin, so there was nothing he didn’t know.”
“You’re a cheap-mouthed guy. “So much so that it would be difficult to save him if we met him.”
“I hope you will view it favorably. “This world will soon be in your hands anyway.”
“How much do you know?”
“… How far?”
“Yes, there must be a reason why you came to see me and brought up such a story.
Albus answered him with a smile on his lips but with frozen eyes.
“I came to see if you could take us under Jin.”
“When you say us, do you also include Philip?”
“Yes, if you don’t feel comfortable meeting him, please don’t call him.”
“no. Let him come here too. “Let’s meet face to face and hear the story.”
Albus blinked and lifted his snake above his head.
Then, Philip, an ogre with a large hippopotamus face and sitting on his shoulder, received his signal and approached, waving his hand with a bright expression.
“I think Jin wants to hear our story.”
“You mean our story?”
“Yes, I told you that I wanted to go under Jin with you.”
Philip shrugged his eyebrows and looked at Jin.
“ah… . Sorry, Bergin. “I ended up conveying my thoughts through someone else’s mouth.”
Bergin looked at the two in turn and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
“I heard you said you wanted to come under me.”
“Then who is the Dean you’ve been following so far? “I understand that Albus is also holding hands with him.”
“Isn’t it okay to think that the two of you are the same person anyway? “I heard from Dean that he is active by dividing his body into two.”
“It’s not wrong. However, it is difficult to see them as the same person. “Because he and I have different souls.”
“Different souls?”
“Yes, even if I become one with him in the future. “The soul of one of the two will disappear.”
“… “So you’re not going back to your original body?”
“That’s a difficult question to answer. “There’s still more to talk about with Dean.”
Philip nodded and got closer to Jin.
“Jin, excuse me, but do you mind if I ask you one more question?”
“I’m the one who called, but you’re the one asking the questions.”
“Try it.”
“If Ordin wants to climb to the top of the tower. Are you willing to give in to him?”
Jin’s expression changed sharply at Philip’s question. Not only that, but both hands that were facing them in a comfortable position were boiling with deep blue mana to the point of overflowing.
“What is the intention of the question?”
“I wanted to reduce unnecessary fights.”
“It’s a lie to say you want to come under me.”
“No, I would have if I were sure you were with Dean. “I thought it would be difficult to give an ambiguous answer.”
“… Okay, I got it. And no explanation is needed for this. “I already read it in your head anyway.”
Bergin opened his third eye, which was closed on his forehead, and looked at Philip and Albus alternately.
“Albus, that guy changed his mind and tried to beat Dean and me. To send my son Ordin to the top of the tower.”
After hearing his answer, Albus grinned and opened his mouth wide, pouring mana into his snake.
“We underestimated Jin too much. “If I knew I had that kind of ability, I would have become a player right away.”
“Do you think you can beat me then?”
“No, we lowly humans cannot defeat you.”
Fire spewed out from the snake’s mouth.
When Jin lightly waved his left hand, a strong wind blew and blew away the flames, and as he moved his right hand down from top to bottom, the space split apart and an explosion occurred where Albus was standing.
Albus and Philip, who escaped by an inch, hid themselves among the monsters and gave a small monologue.
“I’m just measuring the distance to see if I can reach you with human power.”
“And now we have the answer.”
They disappeared from sight in an instant.
However, even though Jin was able to chase them, he only hesitated for a moment and did not intend to follow and kill them.

If you were to enter a battlefield where monsters are fighting each other, you don’t know where or what kind of enemy you will come from.
“Foolish guys. “Are you sure they are trying to use Verdin to catch me?”
In the past, the god of the north had a body so large that he could walk on two feet under the sea.
Rox asked, controlling a giant with a name passed down in mythology.
“I think Castle Strange is dangerous. “A guy named Ordin suddenly appeared and killed Valentine.”
Verdin, who was listening to his story, was startled. There is news that Ordin, who had been unable to come down from Ragnarok, not only suddenly appeared in the south, but also killed his sister Valentine.
“Is it true?”
“Yes, not only did Valentine fall, but Strange Castle was completely destroyed.”
“It’s all Ordin’s doing?”
“that’s right. “I saw it through the eyes of the monster that gave me its last vision.”
Now Verdin and Rox are heading to Legion.
He launched a plan to attack the tower under the assumption that the south was safe, but something very unexpected happened.
Rox stood up on the giant’s shoulder and looked into the distance.
“Should we change direction now? “It won’t take long if you take the canyon south of here.”
Verdin rested his chin, thought for a moment, and then asked a question.
“What happened to Fenrir?”
“Fenrir?”
“Yes, if he is with Sister Valentine. “Ordin would never have been able to attack me.”
“The dog just stayed still.”
“You stayed still?”
“Yes, before Ordin arrived. “It ate your two brothers and hasn’t moved since, as if it was unconscious.”
So, it means that Yuliana succeeded in bringing the knowledge of the World Tree from Mimir’s Spring. How could Fenrir react like that?
I guess I didn’t go crazy because I received so much knowledge in such a short period of time.
Shinsu is not that weak.
It is the final weapon created by those who were the past owners of this land to fight against the tower.
‘Isn’t that so? ‘Dragon.’
The dragon sleeping inside my body rang a deep voice in my head as if in agreement.
-Krrrrr.
Dragons, like Fenrir, are also one of the guardian deities that protect this land, so they must be aware of each other’s existence.
Verdin closed his eyes tightly and spoke to Rox in a low voice.
“We are going to the Legion.”
“Last name? “If we leave it as is, everyone will die.”
“They are also determined to do this. It was unexpected that Ordin came down to earth, but a knight of Strange will fight with his life no matter who his enemy is.”
Rox scratched his head.
“Is there any way to save them?”
“Those who remain have no choice but to defeat the enemy. Isn’t it? Baphomet.”
As soon as Verdin finished speaking, the space split apart and Baphomet popped out his face.
“That’s right, I don’t know how Ordin disobeyed God’s orders and came down from Ragnarok.”
“By the way, you are also very persistent. “Now there’s no way to take this giant away, but he’s sticking next to me.”
“I can’t help it. “If we can’t take him, we have to kill him, so the only thing we can do is follow Verdin and look for that opportunity like we are doing now.”
“Why are you trying to destroy this giant?”
“Verdin-nim would know better why. Jin, you have fragments of memories that you can’t recall.”
Verdin glanced at Baphomet and smiled.
“Did you notice?”
“Yes, I knew from the beginning.”
“Since when?”
“This time I saw you on the upper level of the tower. “Suddenly, the way he looked at me changed.”
Baphomet turned into black smoke and climbed on top of the giant’s head, then asked Verdin with a playful face.
“Verdin, would you mind holding hands with me just this once? “If you want, I will let them help you too.”
The pirates of the Teach Pirates at the feet of the giant roared to show their presence.
“Ugh!”
Verdin glanced at them and shook his head in response.
“If you get my help now, you will be able to keep Ordin in the south in check as well.”
“If you wish, I will stop Ordin.”
“The conditions are.”
“That’s something that requires a little bit of negotiation. “Let me tell you two things.”
Baphomet took the form of Judas and spread out two fingers. Then he folded his first finger and began to explain.
“One is to be with Jin, as I said before.”
“That’s not possible.”
Baphomet nodded briefly and folded his remaining fingers.
“Then the second thing is to help Jin get to the top of the tower.”
“Jin to the top of the tower?”
“… Yes, if you help me with this, I will not bother Verdin or ask you any more.”
