Episode 231. Cogwheel.
“I will personally head to the royal capital and see the owner of the throne.”
This is not simply to have an audience with the new emperor. I don’t know who will sit in that seat yet, but the final key to the top of the tower is there.
Cynthia, Rox, and Gregory will protect the Legion while I am away. If this happens, there won’t be any trouble from Amon, and when Brunhild returns, he will have the upper hand in combat, so there will be no problem.
What I’m most worried about is Theresia. She is now barely alive thanks to Brunhild’s spell, but unless she can find a way to heal her, her plans will be disrupted.
“Gregory, please take good care of the Legion in the meantime.”
Gregory sat on the prone goblin’s back and shrugged his shoulders.
“Don’t worry about that. “Amon alone will never be able to defeat us.”
“Why are you so sure?”
“I already know all of his abilities. “If I just watch out for that guy’s book, I can win on my own.”
Gregory mentioned the Book of Amon. Then it’s clear that you really understand his abilities.
‘How did know?’
Bor would never have permitted battles between apostles within the tower. Amon has never revealed his abilities.
I nodded briefly with an indifferent expression.
“Our goal is to bide our time until Nort reaches the top of the tower. Other than that, it’s just to prevent monsters from the tower from taking over this place.”
“I know, I know. And you’re asking me to protect that little boy named Rox from dying, right?”
“They say that when the little boy dies, the giant disappears too.”
“It doesn’t disappear, it just means you can’t move.”
“It’s either that or that. Anyway, okay, let’s go quickly. “You said you don’t have much time?”
After finishing our conversation, I headed straight to the royal road without delay. The battle that begins now will be the final battle to take the top of the tower.
Not just to get to the top of the tower, but to deal with the three remaining dragons on this continent.
No one knows my final plan right now.
“Then I will come back.”
The summit of the World Tree guarded by three dragons, and a place connected to the hourglass guarded by dragons in the past.
Baphomet made Verdandi, who had been recaptured from the tower, sit on a pile of golden sand.
“Please wait a moment and Bor will come.”
“… Are you an apostle of the Tower?”
“Yes, my name is Baphomet. “I saw you once a long time ago, but you probably don’t remember.”
“You don’t remember?”
“That’s right. I wasn’t like this back then… .”
Baphomet turned into black smoke and then reappeared, taking the form of a human instead of a demon.
“I came to you dressed up as a human like this.”
“?! “You can’t possibly-.”
“Yes, that’s right. The day when the previous owner of the tower was looking for the owner of the tower who was with him. “I was standing next to him.”
Verdandi swallowed his saliva and stepped back as if Baphomet was afraid.
“Why did you rescue me?”
“Because the owner of the tower told me to bring you.”
“I heard he’s already gone.”
“No, you were just away for a long time. “You came back after another long trip.”
Baphomet smiled as he looked at her in fear.
“Do you know where your sisters, Skult, who creates the future, and Urt, who protects the past, are?”
“… “I’m with Ordin.”
“Then do you know how he took you and your sisters?”
“I heard they were trying to find a way to get to the top of the tower… .”
“That is correct. “Then there is no need to explain Ordin.”
“What explanation?”
“Ordin poses a great threat to this world, and the only person who can stop him is Bor, the true owner of the tower.”
Verdandi firmly held the golden sand in both hands, then slowly stood up and answered Baphomet.
“I have nothing to talk about with him. Aren’t Ordin or Borna here to destroy this world?”
“no. Bor simply wants to join hands with you for the survival of the tower.”
“Do not lie. “I know what you want.”
“I saw everything. “The future that Schoolt showed me, and what TOP is trying to do there.”
“And the owner of the tower is using a huge weapon called an ancient weapon to destroy this world.”
Baphomet sighed heavily and waved his finger at her, and black smoke flowing from the bottom of the World Tree enveloped Verdandi’s hands and feet.
“This is the end of our conversation. Bor will arrive soon, so please wait.”
After saying these words, Baphomet sat down in his place and closed his eyes.
And soon after, the space between them split and an intense light came out.
Verdandi didn’t show much of a reaction, perhaps because he knew about the master of light.
He’s just pouring mana into the sand he’s holding in his hand and slowly flowing it out, drawing something on the floor.
“My mother.”
The person who came out of the light spoke to Verdandi. Then, Verdandi faced an unexpected person and looked at him in surprise.
“hemp cloth… . “Rdin?”
The person imbued with light walked in front of her and whispered softly.
“no. “My name is Vergin, and I am the one born of you and him.”
“jin?!”
With wide eyes, Verdandi threw the sand in both hands on the floor and then hugged Vergin tightly.
She didn’t know how Jin felt about her, but she couldn’t control the emotions that were pounding in her heart.
Even if it doesn’t make you cry, it’s enough to sob.

“How have you been.”
It may seem like a light-hearted question, but it has a lot of meaning.
“Yes, mother.”
“I never thought I would meet you like this. I heard I won’t see you again until I die… .”
“I thought so too. “Because my father made that choice.”
“… “Did you hear from Lois?”
“no. “I just learned this from someone else’s mouth.”
Verdandi slowly let go of Jin’s waist, which he was holding tightly, and looked at his face.
“I have nothing to say except that I’m sorry.”
“it’s okay. “There are no regrets about the past.”
“I just thank God that I get to see my mother again today.”
“If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have even had the chance to meet like this.”
Jin continued speaking while lightly stroking her head.
“How has your mother been doing?”
“I heard Ordin tried to swallow you.”
“It was like that.”
“But why are you not with him? “I heard that all of his mother’s sisters decided to follow his wishes.”
“The reason my sisters ended up with Ordin is because they were deceived by lies. “I didn’t fall for his trick.”
The two paused their conversation and looked into each other’s eyes for a long time. After a while, Verdandi wiped his eyes with the sleeve of his clothes and continued speaking again.
“I am happy to see you again. “I’m worried about the person inside your body right now.”
“The one in my body?”
“Yes, I see two souls in my eyes now. “That person is not from this world.”
“Do you know who it is?”
“… Bor.”
Verdandi turned his head and glanced at Baphomet.
“He was once called the owner of the tower. “It’s the monster I saw through Sister Urt’s memories.”
“A monster?”
“He came from another world to bring destruction to this continent.”
“Dragons fought a long war to stop him.”
Berzin’s wide-open eyes changed to gloomy ones, and then he turned his gaze into the distance and answered.
“I don’t know why his soul is in your body, but please find a way to get it out as soon as possible.”
“I’m sorry, Mom.”
A dull sound was heard from Verdandi’s abdomen. When she slowly lowered her head, she saw Jin’s left arm, which was imbued with her aura, piercing her chest.
“The owner of this body is me, Bor. “Your son, Jin, was speaking to me for a moment.”
“yes… . You… .”
“There is only one reason why I want to meet you today. Skult and Urt, who can create the future and change the past, swallowed by Ordin. “The ability to neutralize those two.”
Bergin slowly pulled out the arm stuck to his chest and continued speaking.
“The power to fix the ‘present’ so that the future and past do not change. “It’s to take away that ability.”
Verdandi could not respond to the pain. He just lowered his gaze and gaped at the red blood soaked at his feet.
“I am different from Ordin. Even if the other person disagrees, they have a way of taking away power.”
“ha… .”
“Humans in this world call this power Bae Hu-ryeong. I have the ability to create Bae Hu-ryeong… .”
Vergin grabbed Verdandi by the neck and lifted her up.
“Your noble death will soon become my strength and open the way to becoming a god.”
As pressure was applied to my neck, the pain lessened and my vision began to blur.
Even during this, Verdandi did not give up hope and muttered something.
Of course, no sound came out of my mouth. But this was enough for her to complete her spell.
White light erupted beneath their feet. This is the Jumunjin created by the sand that Verdandi poured out with mana.
Bergin was startled, checked his feet, and shouted at Baphomet.
“Stop it!”
Baphomet, who had been waiting at a distance, hurriedly flew over and immediately stretched out his hand towards the order circle she had drawn.
It was impossible to pass through the barrier that had already been created. The spell created by Verdandi caused abnormalities not only in contact with Baphomet but also in Vergin’s body.
The joints of Bergin’s arms and legs were twisted and thrown back.
Verdandi, who couldn’t even breathe properly, looked at the two through blurred vision and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
“Even if it means my death. “I will let everyone know about your ugliness.”
Vergin and Baphomet rushed towards her at the same time. However, just before the two touched, an unexpected person intervened.
Howl, the red dragon who cut through the sky and flew to the top of the World Tree, quickly flew over and took on human form.
He said while simultaneously blocking the hands of Vergin and Baphomet.
“… Let us take Verdandi to this point.”
