Episode 212. Kill the Dragon.
Imperator began to clear the inside of the tower with his beastman army.
With Ordin’s mana and aura of his choice, his power was overwhelming even in the upper levels of the tower.
Most of the beastmen corps that followed them had excellent fighting skills as they were familiar with not only the knowledge of the demons but also the techniques of humans.
It is no match for other monsters with the same level of power.
However, Imperator did not randomly kill monsters in the tower.
They simply did not listen to his words and tried to leave the tower, or they only dealt with Ordin’s subordinates, who were opposing forces, to prevent a word from coming out behind their backs.
This was also useful in keeping other apostles who rebelled against him, so the apostles hiding in the upper echelons who were not in charge of the trials remained silent about his actions.
“Thank you, Imperator. “I didn’t know you would be so proactive in helping me.”
Baphomet, in the form of Judas, greeted the Imperator politely.
“Don’t be mistaken. “The only reason I am going down to the lower level of the tower is to punish Ordin for ignoring me.”
“Yeah, it’s definitely not to help Dean and Jean.”
“Haha, whatever the reason, I think I really need to say thank you.”
“Where is Dean now, anyway?”
“We are waiting outside the tower. “As soon as the road is built, I will go straight to get him.”
“I get it. I’ll finish it soon, so just wait. Anyway, I think there will be someone on the way down who can join forces with us.”
“… I understand, Demon Lord Imperator.”
Imperator goes down from the upper floor to the lower floor like that.
A villain who crossed swords with him a long time ago and is one of the apostles who remains to this day.
Among the apostles in charge of the trials, I met someone whose skills could not be ignored.
In terms of sword handling skills, he is one of the apostles who is comparable to himself.
‘Dead Lord’, the person in charge of the trials of the 20th floor, known as the king of the jungle.
He faced him with a haggard armor he had never seen before.
“It’s been a while, Imperator.”
The Imperator’s broken sword stood out.
“Yes, it seems like it’s been a hundred years since I last saw you. “It’s been a really long time.”
“How did we get here? “The demon corps commander.”
“… “While wandering around the tower at the request of a friend, I stopped by for a moment to see your rotten face.”
“A favor from a friend?”
“Yes, there is a human friend I made this time. “That bastard asked me to do something that doesn’t even seem like work.”
“It’s really hard to believe that the word ‘friend’ came out of your mouth.”
Deadlord took off his helmet with an interesting expression.
“So what is your human friend’s name?”
“… It’s a guy named Dean, Verdin. “I’m a master from the Strange family in the southern part of the continent.”
“He asked me to stop the monsters coming from the tower for a while.”
“You want me to stop the monster?”
“I asked you to stop the monster that went out of the tower without listening to its master. “That guy Ordin joined hands with Amon and rebelled against God.”
“Baphomet joined hands with Verdin to stop them.”
Dead Lord, who was listening to the story, jumped up from his seat. Just a little while ago, he was showing signs of exhaustion, like someone who had lost all energy.
“Really?”
“Yes, Ordin betrayed Bor.”
“No, not that story.”
“A request to stop monsters from leaving the tower.”
“Would I lie to you? “There is no benefit in deceiving you.”
“Then I’ll say hello, I’m busy so I’ll just leave.”
As Imperator turned his back to leave, Dead Lord approached with a broken sword and continued.
“Imperator, thank you for coming to see me. “I don’t think I can just let you go.”
“Do you want to give it a try with a body like that?”
“No, I’m not talking about fighting.”
Deadlord stood on his chessboard in front of the temple and planted his broken sword on the ground.
Then whisper something in a voice so low that only you can hear.
Kugugugugugung.
The ground shook greatly, and the monsters hiding their energy throughout the jungle were revealed.
“… Take me with you. “I also have a debt to pay to Verdin and Ordin.”
What exactly is this girl?
I asked, taking the forget-me-not flower handed to me by the red-haired girl I met on the upper floor of the tower.
“Your friend told you to give it to me?”
“I don’t know your name. But he said he was close to you.”
“You’re close to me, but you don’t know my name?”
There are not many people in the upper echelons of the tower who have a connection with me. There are only two or less people expected, but who is it that asked me to give these flowers?
I asked her, lightly touching the forget-me-not petals.
“Berdandi. “Is the name of the person who asked me to give this flower to you Verdandi?”
The red-haired girl answered, raising her hands above her head.
“That’s right, Verdandi!”
“Berdandi told me to give you this flower when I see you. He said he can’t come back now.”
“You can’t come back?”
“Yes, before you broke up with me, you went to the ice castle with Quarreung. “We will never meet again.”
“You mean that Qwarrung guy?”

“The guy who squeaks when he’s angry is with Verdandi. “He dragged Verdandi away while she was crying.”
“I told you to give this flower to Verdin someday when you meet him.”
I folded the forget-me-nots neatly, wrapped them in cloth, and put them in my breast pocket.
“When did you last see her?”
“I don’t know either.”
“huh! It’s been so long I don’t remember. “I think we met before I died.”
“Before you died? “What does that even mean?”
“Before I die. “That was right before I died.”
Rox, who was listening to her story, pointed with a bewildered expression.
“This is a crazy bitch. “What are you saying?”
“… you die “To put it in a bad way.”
“I’m going to die? To your bitch?”
“Yes, I will tear you to death.”
“to? If you can, try it. “Where did you come naked like a pervert?”
The red-haired girl jumped up. Knowing her strength, I held out my hand to block her and shouted at the two.
The red-haired girl’s fingers stopped right in front of Rox’s heart. If she had come a little closer, it could have been right through her skin.
Unlike me, who was in a hurry, Rox looked at her with a relaxed expression.
“what’s the matter? Verdin. “Do you really think I’m going to get hit by that bitch?”
okay.
If I had left it as is, you could have died from a single blow to the heart.
‘I’d like to say this.’
If that happens, Rox’s pride will be so hurt that it would be better to turn things around a bit.
“It’s an ally. “Do not provoke.”
“Friend? “A stupid bitch like that?”
“Yes, you helped me on the upper level of the tower. “It’s strong enough to tear an apostle to death with its bare hands.”
“So don’t make enemies. “He is helpful to us.”
Rox glanced at the red-haired girl from top to bottom, then turned his head and said.
“I need to get you some clothes first.”
“Okay, let’s get some from the nearby market. “It would be better if it were soft animal skin rather than hard iron armor.”
“why?”
“Because weapons that are easy to move will be easier to utilize to her strengths.”
The red-haired girl, who was treated to various equipment and meals, explained many things to us.
What he experienced in the upper levels of the tower and what kind of relationship he had with the woman called Verdandi.
In fact, I thought there would be some clues to track down my mother through my conversation with her, but that part was not resolved.
The girl met my mother for a very short time, simply because of an incident in which she helped Ordin when he was attacked by residents of the upper floors of the tower.
“So you’re saying you helped Ordin and Verdandi? “They’re being attacked by the tower’s residents.”
The red-haired girl nodded her head sharply with a bright expression.
“So what is your name?”
“I have no name.”
“You don’t have a name?”
“That’s right, I’m just a person.”
“He’s just a person.”
“… Well then, let me ask you one more thing. “Why did you know about the red dragon’s nest?”
“Red dragon’s nest?”
“Yeah, you told me about his anger before we got there. “It’s a story you can never tell if you don’t know about him.”
The red-haired girl tilted her head and then answered with a hearty smile.
“Red Dragon, my friend. “We talked a lot.”
“The red dragon is your friend?”
Is it true that everyone is said to be friends if they just talk to each other?
“So where is he now?”
“Inside Verdin.”
“Inside me?”
“Yes, in Verdin. “The soul of the dragon in the nest was eaten by Verdin.”
I nodded, lightly rubbing my left breast.
Was the memory that came to me at that time actually the soul of a red dragon? I thought I was just reading a part of a memory.
“First of all, I knew, girl whose name I don’t know. Well, now our relationship is over. “Go back to where you need to go.”
At my answer, the red-haired girl puffed out her cheeks with a pouty expression.
“Where I should be. “It’s next to Verdin.”
“No, I don’t need you. “Your place is not here.”
“Then where do I go?”
“You have to find it yourself.”
“Thank you for giving me Verdandi’s gift. “But I’m not leisurely enough to take you with me.”
Her actions are dangerous as she may turn into an enemy at any moment.
“Verdin, take me with you.”
“If you take me with you, I will help Verdin.”
“I scold all the bad kids. I also made a promise to the other dragons. When the appointed time arrives, turn the clock. “Verdin will go back to that time.”
“Watches can be broken. If Verdin wants it. “It’s possible at any time.”
I lightly squeezed her shoulder and asked.
“Dragon’s Hourglass, do you know where it is?”
“… Know.”
“my house. “It’s at my house.”
“Your house? “Where is it?”
Without realizing it, I shook her with force. The red-haired girl must have been embarrassed by my actions and slapped her hand away with an anxious look in her eyes.
He soon took a step back and answered me.
“Our house is on a tree. A very, very big and tall tree, taller than a tower!”
