Episode 119. Downfall.
The archbishop is called the next pope.
‘Santos Judas de Nurcia.’
We were astonished as we looked at his past. What on earth is he doing who is called one of the three living saints?
“Kill it.”
He traced his hand from top to bottom with a cold look in his eyes. A knight from the Beopwangcheong struck down the frightened child with an axe.
Flutter!
The body was separated in an instant.
The child’s mother, who was watching the scene, screamed.
“Aaaah!”
As she fainted, a man who appeared to be a serf came out with a pickaxe and attacked the knight.
“What on earth have we done?”
The knight grabbed his wrist, twisted it, and kicked him in the knee with his steel boot, knocking him down.
puck!
“Wow!”
“How dare you!”
Archbishop Jude, who had been watching from behind, stepped forward and spoke to the serf.
“What did you do? Are you asking because you really don’t know? “Do you think we’re doing this because we don’t know your identities?”
“Our… Identity?”
“Yes, aren’t you the revolutionary army?”
“You mean the revolutionary army?”
Juda grabbed the serf’s hair with a benevolent expression.
“Don’t pretend not to know. “Didn’t you fall for the trick of the pagans and try to revolt against the Pope, who preaches the will of the Holy One?”
“Hey, don’t be crazy! “We never did that!”
“is it so? “Then what is that song you sing so fondly?”
“sing?”
“Yes, they were calling us the moment we arrived in this village.”
The serf tilted his head with a puzzled expression.
“That song is a song for peace that Saint Joanna Arc taught us!”
“No, I know. “That song is a ‘revolutionary song’ created by pagans to blame their gods.”
“What is a revolution!”
“It’s done. “I didn’t come here to talk to you anyway.”
Juda smiled at him and drew a cross on his forehead with his index finger nail.
“Okay then.”
The knight who received the signal raised his ax above his head.
“uh? Ugh! Ugh! Now, wait! wait for a sec!”
Flutter!
Starting with the death of the serf, the knights began killing everyone in the village.
The reason was that they were singing revolutionary songs created by pagans, which went against the will of God.
“Did you find the book?”
After giving it, I asked vaguely.
One of the knights who appeared to be the captain shook his head.
“I searched everything, but I couldn’t find it.”
“Hmm – this is the end of the village Joanna Arc visited. “I don’t know where they hid it.”
“Isn’t it possible that she has it? “Isn’t there a blue-haired kid who followed you around the battlefield?”
“Blue-haired kid?”
“Yes, I am one of the new knights in the Holy Knights. What did you say your name was… . God, God… . Cynthia? Oh Cynthia!”
“Miss Cynthia?”
“Yes, you will find it through her. It is said that she walked the battlefield with Joanna Arc. “Don’t you know?”
Juda shrugged her eyebrows.
“Hmm – it is true that she followed Joanna Arc. There is no way she has a book of sins.”
“Why?”
“If only she had a book of sins. “She would have found Joanna Arc long ago.”
“… Is that possible?”
“sure. Nothing can compare to the power of the songs written therein. Strange? Glaser? Rockefeller? “No, even the Rothschilds, who are called children of God, are all dangerous.”
The knight swallowed dry saliva.
“Is it that much?”
“Yes, it has the power to shake the world.”
“ah… .”
“Even with that kind of power, you joined the Holy Knights without being able to do anything? “Wouldn’t that make sense?”
“That’s what I heard.”
Archbishop Judah rested his chin and thought for a moment, then snapped his fingers as if he had a bright idea.
Perfect!
“Oh, that’s right!”
“yes?”
“Good, good! “I thought of a way to find the Book of Sins.”
“How do I find the Book of Sins?”
“Yes, didn’t you say that Miss Cynthia followed Joanna Arc around?”

“That’s right.”
“Then she must have seen the Book of Sins held by Joanna Arc, right?”
“… “Maybe.”
Archbishop Judah pointed to a tower visible above the Legion with a meaningful smile.
“Send her to the tower.”
“The tower?”
“Yes, from what I heard, between the 20th and 30th floors of the tower. “I heard that there is an apostle with the ability to see the past.”
“… … .”
“If we pursue Joanna Arc’s past through his power. “I’m sure you can find where the Book of Sins is hidden.”
The knight who heard Judah’s words nodded with a mean expression.
“Oh, that’s a good idea.”
“Then we will be able to proceed smoothly with our plan to return this world to the beginning, as God wants.”
Turn the world back to the beginning.
This was a deviant idea that only demons would have, but their goal was already clearly established in their minds.
Archbishop Judah held his hands together as he looked at the burning village.
“May God’s blessings be with all those who sacrificed themselves for a new world.”
They become mortals who want their dreams to come true in the name of an oracle.
“In the name of the Holy One, Amen.”
* * *
Timeless clapped his hands.
Clap clap clap!
“Hey, I didn’t know this, but you really are an amazing person, aren’t you? God is trying to return this world to the beginning. That can’t be possible? Hahaha!”
I was also surprised.
It is not simply about satisfying one’s own self-interest with wealth or fame.
I’m trying to turn this entire world back to the beginning when heaven and earth were created.
If you were to ask the question, ‘Is that really what God wants?’ I would say absolutely no.
Not only I, but the Pope’s Office would also give the same answer.
‘really.’
If a person called God really wants to return this world to the way it was in the beginning, then the very existence of the tower currently standing tall in the center of the Legion will be denied.
‘or not.’
Either the God they believe in is not the same.
“How do you feel after seeing the scene you wanted? Mr. Verdin.”
Cynthia’s reaction tells us how we feel. Not only is it frustrating, but it is also confusing because the archbishop’s disorderly goals dominate my mind.
All party members froze.
Only Rox was scratching his head, not understanding what the Archbishop meant.
“What is the beginning?”
I exhaled evenly and then answered Timeless.
“Omit unnecessary words. “Now let me give you the reward you want.”
“Oooooh! Then, let me open a space where I can swallow Verdin’s lifespan.”
“space… .”
“Verdin’s life will be reflected in me as much as the time he spent there. “No, you probably already know this, so is this a useless explanation?”
Timeless was about to say something, but glanced at my party members and shook his head.
“No, Mr. Verdin, you don’t have any memories of your past life, so you don’t know about this.”
Seeing that guy’s funny expression really makes me want to hit him.
“You’re saying that my lifespan is shortened the more I spend in your space, right?”
“That’s right. However, Verdin spends a different time there than here.”
“How much of a difference is the time between there and here?”
“In ten years… . By the time you got back here, maybe ten minutes had passed.”
Ten minutes in ten years.
So, this means that one year passes by there, and one minute passes here.
“That doesn’t matter.”
I turned my head, looked at the party members, and continued speaking.
“Everyone heard, right? I come back in ten minutes. “Until then, everyone should stay here and not move.”
Of the four, Alfredo and Rox, who had come to their senses, nodded.
“Okay, be careful.”
“huh! But Verdin, what do you do with that woman? “What is she saying? She’s muttering to herself and she’s losing her mind.”
Rox pointed to Maria Theresa, who was trembling. It is impossible to bring her back when her spirit has broken down here and now.
“Stick by my side and protect me. “It won’t be long before he comes back.”
“Ah oh. “Well, I just have to watch from the side, right?”
“Yes, they don’t even let you go into other spaces.”
“okay.”
“and.”
I turned my gaze and saw Timeless.
“You shall not touch them while I am away.”
“… “Ah, do you think I will take advantage of Verdin’s absence to attack them?”
“Answer me. “You don’t touch my party members.”
“… … .”
“Because it is time for you to keep your promise to me, and for me to keep my promise to you.”
Timeless nodded briefly with a puzzled expression.
“That’s right.”
After saying these words, he raised both hands above his head and chanted a spell.
This is the language of spirits forgotten in the past. As he finished chanting, a small clock tower suddenly fell from the gap in the space.
Coo!
Unidentifiable white smoke seeped out through the entrance and spread across the floor.
“Verdin, I’m telling you in advance that once you go in, you won’t be able to come out until the appointed time is over.”
“I get it.”
“And no one except the contractor and me can enter there-”
Timeless turned his gaze and saw Bae Hu-ryeong.
“They will have to stay here.”
Siegfried said, turning to face Timeless.
“what? “Does this orc bastard want to be cut to death?”
Oak?
“Don’t you remember when you almost ran after me before? Hey Brunhild! “Maybe I should remind this guy of what happened back then?”
Brunhild responded by licking his paw with an indifferent expression.
“What are you saying, you idiot prosecutor? “That orc is an apostle here, and if that’s the rule, then of course I have to follow it.”
“Are you telling me to listen to orcs or something?”
“Here, we are apostles, not orcs. “I’m an apostle.”
wait for a sec.
Is this your first time hearing that Timeless is an orc? Even Siegfried in his previous life never talked about him.
I turned my head and looked at Timeless. He looked at the two with a faint smile and whispered softly.
“I am simply following the commands of the Holy One, so please understand that you are of a superior race than me.”
Siegfried growled angrily and spoke to me.
“Verdin, can you spend ten years alone in that guy’s space?”
“yes.”
“… okay?”
“That’s right.”
When I agreed, Siegfried let out a long sigh.
ha-
“I get it. “Then let’s go.”
“Master.”
With these words, I entered the clock tower that Timeless had summoned. A trip that will probably be the longest and shortest time in my life.
“I will come back stronger.”
* * *
The hot sun beat down on my head. A desert where no matter where you look, north, south, east or west, all you see is sand.
Sand began to fall from a large hole in the sky.
Ssaaaaaa-
‘It has begun.’
This is the place where I will spend the next ten years, and a space that is said to have been created by a dragon.
‘Hourglass of silence.’
I looked at the long, falling sand and drew my sword.
Sigh-
“Let’s get started.”
Next ten years.
How strong can I become?
