Episode 241. Cogwheel.
“Do you acknowledge your contribution to helping this world come to its center until now? Four years ago, I did something I shouldn’t have done with the power of magic. “They rebelled against me, the owner of the tower and the creator of the beings called demons.”
Ordin said, stepping on Brunhild’s fallen head.
She had already had one leg amputated and her vision was blurred, leaving her incapable of fighting. Now it was difficult to continue resistance, let alone win the fight. After confirming that all of her companions in Verdin were far away, she released her mana surrounding her entire body and spoke to Ordin.
“You did it to me this time too. No, this time it happened to you.”
“That’s right, because you defeated me in the last battle. At that time, without Frigg, we could have been in real trouble. “I brought you spells that you couldn’t have imagined at the time.”
“You can still use it now.”
“No, I can’t. I know. “The spells you used on me at that time were ‘Sacrifice’ type spells used at the expense of colleagues.”
“Now you will not sacrifice Verdin or his colleagues. That’s why I was able to easily win this fight.”
Brunhild nodded briefly as if he did not deny it.
“The conversation ends here. “Why don’t you let me go now?”
“No, you will not die here. “We will serve as bait and bring Verdin into our trap.”
“what? “Do you really think Verdin will come to save me?”
“Yes, I know. “That guy never abandons his comrades.”
“I am not Verdin’s colleague. “He was just a contractor for a while.”
“That’s your opinion. No matter how cold he pretends, his hidden nature is the same as my father, Bor. “I’m definitely coming to save you.”
Ordin gestured towards the three Numbers, then cut through the space and disappeared, giving a monologue.
“Because my father’s heart is what left humans on this continent until now.”
After he disappeared with these words, Three, the lowest of the three Numbers, grabbed Brunhild by the hair.
“Wow, this bitch is such a pain in the ass. “You have to deal with not only Ordin, but the three of us alone.”
Number Two shook his head and said, thawing his frozen arm with a torch.
“Number One and I have to go straight to the royal road. You should cook that bitch yourself. When finished, cut off all the arms and legs and hang them on a cross over the fountain over there.”
“Okay, okay, go quickly. “I’m going to play with such a fun toy as slowly as possible.”
Number One, who had been devastated by Brunhild’s spell, poured a recovery potion into his torn abdomen and whispered.
“The damn bitch froze the wound and it won’t heal.”
“Let’s recover slowly and set off for the royal road first. “I will melt it with this torch on the way.”
“I feel uneasy about leaving that guy alone.”
“What can a dying bitch do?”
“You must not let down your guard.”
“Oh my, our captain has no worries. “How could I possibly fall for this rag-tag bitch?”
“I’ll take care of this bitch, so quickly go to the royal road. “Albus said it was a crisis, so we need to hurry.”
Number One sighed heavily and answered, showing his back.
“If anything happens, go straight to the tower.”
“Yes, yes, that’s unlikely. “If anything happens, I will take refuge in the tower.”
After finishing their conversation, Number One and Two left the Legion.
Then, Three, who received Brunhild, walked to the square and began interrogating her to find out something.
“Now, first, tell me the identity of the spells you used.”
Just looking at the sky with blank eyes.
“What a boring bitch. Why is there no response like this? “You should ask me to kill you or ask you to save me.”
“You don’t want to talk? Okay, then don’t do it. “You will soon be able to open your mouth.”
Number Three took out an ax with a handle as thick as his forearm and cut off Brunhild’s remaining foot.
She moaned in pain, but bit her lip without changing her expression to show it. Number Three seemed to find that reaction amusing and continued torturing him. If she were human, she would have died long ago. The blood that flowed from her body was enough to saturate the ground, making it difficult for even high-level monsters to withstand it.
But Brunhild did not open his mouth.
Until this very moment comes.
“Oh, now there is only one last hand left. You mean it doesn’t matter if this gets cut off? Then you won’t be able to do anything.”
Brunhild closed his eyes tightly.
Number Three, who was about to cut off her last hand, tilted his head and raised his eyebrows as he looked at the ring on her finger.
“What, are you married?”
“It’s fun. “You’re a demon and you’re wearing a ring on your fourth finger.”
“Who gave this to you? Could it be that that guy named Verdin gave it to you?”
“… “Shut up.”
Number Three smiled brightly at her reaction.
“Oh my? “Now you are opening your mouth.”
“Do not call that name with your unclean mouth.”
“I’m a little dirty, though. Doesn’t that mean you can’t even call my name? “What’s so great about that Verdin guy?”
“I told you to shut up.”
“Haha, yes. Looking at the reaction, it seems like the person in that ring is Verdin… . I have to go find him with that ring and tell him. I’m saying you betrayed me and ran away. “The proof is this ring.”
“If this is really the ring he gave you, then you will believe me. If not, I’ll carry something with me and it will be useful somewhere.”
Brunhild responded with an angry expression.
“Hahaha! Now it looks like something worth playing with. Now, let’s get started properly. “I found out what you want, so now I just have to decide what to do.”
Number Three reached out to remove the ring from her finger.
‘no.’
At that moment, Brunhild used his last remaining mana to freeze his hand.
This was probably the strength saved for the final counterattack. Number Three thought so as he saw her magic. If I had gone a little closer thinking it was the end, my body would have frozen like that. The reason I held back until now was to lure me to the square where my colleague decided to return and end it.
He swallowed without realizing it.
“It’s fun. “Are you still able to use magic?”
Number Three grinned and cut off her remaining arm.
Brunhild said, waving his frozen arm in the air.

“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. “I just know that from now on it will be so painful that I will want to die.”
—
My head stiffened at the sudden appearance of Amon.
I already knew that Ordin would intervene in the succession war, but I didn’t think it was an issue worth sending Amon directly. At least until one of the five princes becomes emperor.
‘I understand your desire to place Belayst on the throne.’
The one who will sit on the throne in this life must be Loki.
I took a deep breath, checked Loki’s life or death with Auror, and then warned Amon and Beleist.
“The moment you move even one step, your head will fall to the ground.”
This is not simply to threaten them.
Even if it actually makes such a sign, it will be cut down immediately.
I held my sword with such resolve and glared at them.
Amon noticed this and raised his hands above his head with a playful expression on his face.
“Calm down, Verdin. “I have come simply to help this world proceed according to its established history.”
“A set history?”
“Yes, the future decided by Scult, who is with Ordin. We were walking along that path, but someone kept interrupting us and the present changed. As Verdin knows, if the present changes, the future will also have problems… .”
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
“… “Where is Verdandi?”
His question made me smile.
The fact that such a story was brought up means that Vergin succeeded in recapturing it from Ordin. Although she is not in my memory, she is one of the three goddesses who have been fighting against countless hardships for me to this day. She is the core of the power to fight against Ordin, who holds the past and the future, and my mother who holds abilities that can scare even Vergin, the closest person to a god.
“Ask God. “The answer will come out of his mouth.”
Amon frowned deeply at my answer.
“This is difficult. “I don’t want to kill Verdin.”
“Yes, I came under orders to do so, but… .”
As he let mana flow over his palm, a book written in an ancient language appeared and began to flutter and spit out letters made of mana.
‘Are you seriously trying to attack me?’
If that’s the case, I can’t just stay still.
Amon asked me, pointing to the letters flying in the air.
“If you have Bor’s memories, do you also know about my abilities?”
“Let’s answer with the sword.”
“… great. Now then, Second Prince Beleist, we must show them what we have planned.”
Beleist nodded and answered, coming next to Amon.
“Yes, Amon.”
I thought their conversation was simply explaining the rebellion against Loki and his quest to take the throne.
It’s not just me who’s targeting the Emperor Bae Hu-ryeong, there are at least three more people.
But the abilities they showed next left me quite perplexed.
Beleist filled his sword with aura and stabbed it straight into Amon’s heart.
At the same time, black smoke billowed out like crazy from Amon’s body, and the letters that had been created earlier in the book began to intermingle and enter Beleist’s body.
Belayst was out of breath due to the smoke coming quickly through his nose and mouth.
“Gawk, ugh.”
Could it be that they were planning to take over Belayst’s body from the beginning?
The first emperor, Amon, erodes the bodies of his descendants in order to descend to this world himself.
‘… … ‘It’s not a bad plan.’
I quickly grabbed Loki while the gap was created, hid him behind a pillar, and waited for Amon and Belayst’s abilities to complete. Will Strange’s sword be able to reach Rockefeller, the owner of the continent?
‘The part I was so curious about was able to be solved today.’
It’s not just about cutting down someone with Rockefeller’s name.
A way to see if you can separate their symbols and take the throne.
This was a way to find out whether Bae Hu-ryeong could be received without putting Gui Loki on the throne.
Yellow light fell on Amon’s head.
This is the moment when you can tell that it is a signal that they have completed their awakening.
I smiled as I looked at Amon slowly approaching, holding the handle of the sword tightly.
‘I wish my father were alive.’
There is no place on this continent that Strange’s sword cannot reach.
Because his story, which he always said out of habit, has been proven to be true.
“Come, Amon. “Now let’s end this awful relationship between you and me.”
