Episode 220. Kill the Dragon.
Ronnie, the youngest of Strange’s three brothers, knocked on the door, holding a sword with a blade curved like a crescent moon.
Knock dog.
“Are you there? My name is Ronnie and I am one of Strange’s knights. He is one of Verdin’s brothers and he is the one who came to help you.”
He spoke as softly as possible.
Not only do I know who is in the room, but I also know that if I want to subdue her, I shouldn’t drag out the fight for too long. He quickly subdues Cynthia, who has mental problems, and ends the situation by cutting off her saint Theresa’s life.
Anyway, it was confirmed that those two were not in a state to deal with him.
With these thoughts in mind, Ronnie hid his sword behind his back and waited for the door to open with a smiling expression.
However, in the room where the tavern master guided us, not only did no one answer, but strangely enough, there was no sign of popularity. Ronnie knocked on the door a couple more times, then carefully grabbed the doorknob and pushed it out.
“Excuse me.”
He looked into the room through the small crack in the door. Has my plan been revealed? No, that can’t be possible because he never told anyone about his plans to come here to anyone except his brother. Because Tony and Johnny would never betray me. Then, there are two reasons why this room is empty right now.
Either the tavern master who had previously introduced this room to me lied, or Cynthia and Theresia had left the room for some reason.
The solution to this was very easy.
All you have to do is look for traces of the two in the room, and if there are none, go back down and deal with the Master.
When the door was half open, Ronnie boldly entered the room. The pale aura surrounding his entire body was enough to prepare for enemy attacks. Even if someone attacks you, you will be able to react immediately. No matter how royal it is, there are not many powerful people on this continent who are strong enough to compete with me.
This was his mistake.
They followed the academy’s standard paths like plants in a greenhouse, and their only real combat was a few encounters with monsters near Strange Castle not long ago. He has never faced a truly strong human like Verdin.
So he faced a crisis due to the intrusion of an unexpected person.
As Ronnie took exactly three steps, an elongated hand emerged from his shadow and grabbed the handle of his sword, preventing him from moving.
“W-what?!”
It was such a powerful force.
I tried to shake it off, but it was impossible.
Moreover, another hand came out from the shadows and pulled out the dagger tied to his waist and held it to his neck.
“This is the end. If you move, you will die.”
Ronnie was frozen in place, unable to move due to the deadly stabbing pain in his private parts.
“It is Verdin’s shadow.”
“Shadow of Verdin?”
“Yes, I received orders to stop you because you are doing dirty things. They spared my life just because we share the same blood. “They said some trash would come here to try to stab me in the back.”
“It’s a voice I’ve heard many times before.”
“I guess so. “I stayed at Castle Strange for more than a day or two.”
The person oppressing Ronnie slowly emerged from the shadows, showed his face through a deeply pressed hood, and spoke.
“Do you remember my face?”
“… “Kangradra, there’s no way my brother wouldn’t know the story about you.”
Gangrad, traces of Glazer who recently broke ties with Verdin and headed north.
He answered with a cold expression, pushing the dagger deep into Ronnie’s neck.
“Then you know that I can kill you.”
“Try it if you want. Instead, if it becomes known that you killed me, Verdin will also face a difficult situation.”
“I don’t know about you guys. “Right now, I’m moving hand in hand with the second prince, Master Beleist.”
“To make him win the battle for succession. Our brother is joining his forces in the underworld. “If it becomes known to you that I am dead, or rather, if the prince hears that Verdin killed me.”
Ronnie spoke to Kangrada with a mean expression.
“Will he stay still? Definitely not. He thought the other brothers who participated in the succession battle were wary of him. “They will try to deal with Verdin.”
Now that the entire continent is in chaos, no matter who takes the emperor’s seat, they will not pose a major threat to Verdin. However, if the prince who looked after Ronnie became emperor in the future, it was certain that a bad picture would be created for him.
It would be out of the question to tarnish the family name by adding the title of traitor to the name Strange.
“Even if I kill you here and now. The imperial army will not know that this was Verdin’s order.”
“Is that really true? “You probably don’t know what abilities my Bae Hu-ryeong has.”
“Yes, if I have the ability to leave a record. “Not only Verdin, but you too will not escape death.”
Killing Ronnie is no problem.
But his threats were enough to shake Kangradra’s spirit.
Even though it is such a simple mission, it is difficult to judge.
The two looked into each other’s eyes for a long time. Ronnie had venomous eyes with red veins, and Gangrad had a stern expression with dark eyelids half-closed.
“Kill it, kill it, if you can. “If this goes wrong anyway, I don’t have anywhere to go, so let’s just die together!”
Ronnie brought his neck closer to the dagger. As blood ran down his skin where it had stuck to the blade, Ganggrada took a step back, her hands shaking.
“why? “Is this guy who is the best assassin afraid of a kid like me?”
“Why was someone like you born in Strange?”
“Because of Strange, someone like me was able to be born. “A strong person who not only has great strength, but also has this kind of mentality that is not afraid even when facing death.”
“And I have a piece of advice. “I’m not just a kid, I’m one of the swordsmen who received Strange’s blood.”
“If you’re named Strange, no matter how young you are, don’t look down on me, you bastard!”
A short dagger the length of a finger was stuck in Gangradra’s back thigh. This was an attack from a completely unexpected direction. Ronnie is clearly in front of him, but where on earth did this come from?
“Wow.”
Gangradra lost his balance momentarily.
Ronnie didn’t miss this opportunity and pushed him away.
He ran out of the door and shouted.
“We’ll see!”
Ronnie came out of the inn and ran down the street without even looking back.
Even if you took advantage of the gap and defeated Kangrada, he didn’t kill you, so you’ll have to run away, keeping as much distance as possible.
‘We have to go underground.’
I must tell this to my brothers and colleagues there in order for me to survive.
It turned out that Verdin was not only reading our movements, but also planted people in the royal capital. Now we need to plan a plan to move accordingly.

‘… There’s still a chance.’
With the help of Vileist, who is most likely to succeed to the throne, the moment will come when you can defeat Verdin.
Because there is an apostle behind him with a power so powerful that it can shake the world.
He said that if I handle things well, he will make me an apostle as well, so let’s wait until then and resolve his orders.
Ronnie ran away, repeating those thoughts in his head. And soon he discovered a passage leading underground.
A quiet alley not far from the river. When I opened the round disk made of iron, I saw a ladder connected to the bottom.
A waterway with rushing turbid gray water.
“I didn’t want to go in here.”
Ronnie swallowed his saliva, glanced around, and then slowly began to go down the ladder.
Cancan, cancan, cancan.
Every time his boots hit the ladder, there was a sharp clanging sound. Ronnie became impatient at the thought that an assassin was chasing him and began to go down even faster. The moment he immersed himself in the waterway he arrived at.
Kangrada’s wife, Kangrada, jumped out from the darkness and stabbed him in the back with a razor-blue blade.
“Mission accomplished. Saint Theresa and Holy Knight Cynthia. And I will take Strange’s traitor, Ronnie, to the Legion.”
Everyone, including the four dragons and Jin, decided to follow my will. The hourglass that repeats the world’s history is now broken and everyone returns to the way it was.
No one can yet predict what the outcome will be, but we leave everything we face in the future to nature.
Me, Jhin, and Ordin.
I don’t know who will be the first to reach the top of the tower, but whoever succeeds will not be the end of this world, but will lead to a new beginning.
“Then let’s begin.”
I took a long breath and breathed all my energy into the sword I was holding. It was created by Bor, the owner of the tower, and is the result of the collaboration of the gods of the two worlds that the four dragons have protected until now.
‘Everyone says in unison that it is my decision.’
I could tell that they too had been waiting for this moment. I hope that one day someone who can break the hourglass will appear. And may the time come when we can all move forward into a new era.
My sword, which I swung with all my might, pierced the ground. My aura and mana flowed through the gap, spreading out in all directions like a spider web and emitting light.
The ground beneath my feet shook greatly.
At the same time, the surrounding area appeared to be cracked like broken glass, and the space began to split apart.
Not only that, golden dust began to pour down from above along with a loud noise.
These are the sands of time that represent Bor’s will, which has been repeated countless times until now.
Ardin, Nori, and Yuki smiled brightly at me and slowly disappeared into the darkness.
Jin also seemed to think that my choice was right, and after watching the hourglass collapse together, he opened a space leading to the outside.
“I’m waiting for the road to the top to open.”
I answered, taking out the sword stuck in the ground and looking around.
“Until then, don’t die.”
“You are saying what I want to say.”
“I can’t help it. “It may seem like we are walking different paths, but we are walking the same path.”
“… What do you plan to do now? “Now that the hourglass is gone, Ordin will run wild even more.”
I lightly shrugged my shoulders and answered by walking beyond the space he created.
“How to do it. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. “I need to start a counterattack against Ordin, who has insulted me so far.”
“counterattack?”
“Yes, I was planning to take out the people involved with me one by one and try to strangle me. From now on, I plan to do the same things he did to me.”
I will deal with those who follow him one by one, and drive them into a corner from which they cannot escape and bring them despair.
“First, Verdandi, I’m going to look for you and my mother.”
