Episode 135. The West Wind.
A genius alchemist who transcends time.
Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel.
“Philip, I wanted to meet you.”
Philip smiled brightly at me.
“I also wanted to meet Verdin. “You said you cut off Edward’s right arm?”
“Right, but you put that arm back together? “Well, the material is a little different.”
“what? How did you know I gave you the arm? “I decided to keep it a secret that the arm was my work.”
“Because there is no one on this continent who can make something like that other than you.”
“No one but me?”
“okay.”
Philip tilted his head with a smile. I know what his reaction means.
Even if he pretends nothing has happened on the outside, that is Philip’s characteristic embarrassed gesture.
“You speak as if you know me well.”
“I know very well. More than anyone else. “I think I probably know better than your family.”
“… is it so? I didn’t know you were that interested in me. “If I knew, I would have come to see you sooner.”
“So, you shouldn’t have come to me sooner. Well, I’m glad we met now. Otherwise, I had no choice but to kill you.”
“You’re going to kill me?”
“Okay, first of all… . Would you like to relax a little? “To show you my worth.”
“?!”
I jumped up at one of the Numbers and swung my sword. The first target is the mole. It’s hard to catch it if it runs underground, so we’ll have to deal with it first.
Flutter!
My blade pierced the mole’s chest.
I don’t know how many times this guy has come to get me, but judging by the fact that he can’t even react, I don’t think he has single-digit skills.
“Wow!”
The mole looked down at me with a distorted expression. It appears to be dead, as it remains frozen without any movement.
“First one.”
I just turned my head and saw the crane woman. The girl, who had been so confident just a moment ago, was startled and took a step back.
“Pippi Philip! Please stop that guy!”
After I pulled out the sword stuck in the mole’s abdomen.
Flutter.
As he looked at her, the corner of his mouth slightly lifted.
“If you can stop it, try to stop it.”
Philip raised his eyebrows and gestured toward the monsters. Twenty strangely shaped trolls and two ogres under his command blocked the path.
‘It’s those guys.’
A newly modified monster created by Philip. Trolls with abnormally muscular upper bodies and ogres with long necks like giraffes.
‘You’re barely trying to stop me like this.’
It’s too light for a test, Philip.
Boom-
A blow that splits the air from left to right. My sword cut down the enemy even though it was out of reach.
Creep, flutter!
With a single sword, he cut twenty trolls into pieces. Not only that, but he killed the ogre flag that was blocking the crane behind him.
The two ogres were scared and moved out of the way.
Turf, plod, trudge.
I walked slowly towards the crane. Her body frozen in fear, she could do nothing but her lips were trembling.
“What are you doing instead of running away!”
Philip shouted at her. It was only then that her wings began to move and her crane kicked the ground and took off, calling out to me.
“Uh oh, you someday!”
I looked at her and pretended to slit her throat with my fingers. Maybe that Numbers woman didn’t understand what this meant.
Something flew through the sky.
Shyuuuuung-
Until you blow your own head off.
Flutter!
‘… No, I guess I didn’t understand until the end because my head was blown off.’
My griffon let out a cry of joy after blowing off the crane’s head.
-Kwiuuuuk!
“Good job, Gridori.”

Clap clap clap!
Philip came towards me, clapping his hands.
“It’s surrender, wow, I thought this was still worth it. “It doesn’t compare at all.”
I pointed at his waist and kicked his shin.
Pak.
“Oops!”
“Don’t do anything useless. “That thing attached to your finger with a thread. Sprinkling some hydrochloric acid on it won’t kill me.”
“Huh… . Uh, how did you know?”
“How to know, it’s obvious what you will do. Did I tell you? “I know you better than your family.”
Philip responded by holding his shins and stamping his feet.

“Ah-oh! By the way, didn’t you kick it too hard? “I think I have a broken bone.”
“Those guys’ bodies were torn apart, so what’s that to say?”
“… but.”
I smiled and sat down on the rock and asked.
“Is the research going well?”
“research? “What kind of research are you talking about?”
“What else can your research be doing other than modifying monsters?”
“… … .”
“Aren’t you going to be mixing two types of creatures, a beast and a monster? No. To be precise, they are even secretly using humans as test subjects. “I guess there are three types.”
Philip was startled and jumped up.
“How could you know that-”
“how? “No, the evidence is right in front of me, so there’s no way I wouldn’t know.”
I looked back and forth between the mole and the mole that had already died.
“How did you know they were my experiments?”
“Because you showed up.”
“Because I showed up?”
“Yes, at first I thought they used Bae Hu-ryeong’s power. “When I saw you, I knew what happened.”
“… This is really difficult. “There is no way I can beat you in this situation.”
Philip turned his head and looked around the forest.
“But if all of this becomes known outside, I will lose my position as general.”
“Arthur, Arthur. You don’t need the general’s position anyway, right? “A guy who doesn’t even believe in God.”
“What are you saying! “How can you deny Him who is holy?”
Before he could stop talking, I hit him on the head with the sheath of the sword.
puck!
“Kaaak!”
“You’re sick. “What is the goal of your research?”
“Well, that’s to create stronger soldiers and protect the safety of the imperial family-”
Philip took a quick look at my scabbard, lowered his head, and continued speaking.
“It’s not… . “I tried to reach the top of the tower with great strength.”
“yes. Then why did you want to go to the top of the tower?”
“Well, I can’t tell you that.”
“Then I will answer for you. “You are trying to deny the existence of God through advanced alchemy.”
“?!”
“And trying to climb to the top of the tower to prove it. “To let you know that there is no God there either.”
Philip looked at me with his mouth wide open, unable to close his mouth. It’s like, how did you find out all this? With an expression that said.
“I won’t explain it too long. I am the person who can complete your research. “I have already obtained the ingredients.”
“You will complete my research?”
“okay.”
“Now, now, just a moment! Before that, how did you find out about me? Obviously I… .”
“You were hiding in the shadows and planning things quietly without anyone knowing. You never even told anyone what you were thinking. How could you know? “Is this what you mean?”
You told me about your past life. Please beg me to take you to the tower.
‘however.’
I couldn’t explain it like this.
“I am Strange. “I think this is a sufficient explanation.”
There was no need to explain it further. No one knows how far Strange’s information network extends.
“… As expected, Strange is a person who cannot be underestimated.”
Philip agreed on his own.
The vast knowledge in his head would have resulted in him overestimating Strange and acknowledging my power.
“How far has the research progressed? Man and beast? Or monsters and beasts?”
“… Both of them are still there. The two people who handled it earlier are people who recently completed the experiment. “They all caused unusual reactions.”
“Unusual reaction?”
“Yes, my body was frozen and I couldn’t move. “Maybe the medicine I injected caused an internal conflict.”
Philip shrugged his shoulders.
“I don’t know the exact reason yet.”
“What about transplanting a monster into a human body?”
“… Not yet. No, I can’t even try.”
“Why?”
“Because there is no way to obtain strong enough humans for research. A normal human body cannot withstand animal blood and is twisted to death. If you receive blood from a monster… . “What will happen?”
“My body will explode.”
“That’s right, my body explodes… . huh? no! How did you know that?
I grabbed his shoulder and giggled in response.
“Okay then, let’s do it like this. “Let me make you a suggestion.”
“A suggestion?”
“Yes, now I have five beast giants needed for your experiment.”
“?!”
“Besides, unlike Albus, whose hand you held, I am moving with the goal of reaching the top of the tower.”
Philip no longer showed any sign of surprise and only let out a hollow laugh.
“under! You knew everything. “This is more than one problem.”
“Okay, let’s get back to the point and make my suggestion. “You betray Albus and join me.”
“… Me to Lord Verdin?”
Philip will definitely come to me. Because he is a guy who will do anything to achieve his goal.
“Yes, you to me. “You have one week to decide, so think about it.”

A dark city somewhere in the upper level of the tower.
And at its center stands a towering, bizarre castle made of piled human corpses.
Inside, the apostles guarding the tower began to gather one by one.
The first to arrive was Apostle Gregory, the king of the goblins in charge of the lowest part of the tower.
He sat at a long, circular table and spoke to an old man who appeared to be a butler.
“What about the other guys?”
“You haven’t arrived yet.”
“So I came first?”
“Yes, Gregory.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the space split and another apostle appeared.
Hiss!
“how are you? Mr. Gregory.”
Gregory answered with a frown.
“How did you come so quickly, Amon?”
The second person to arrive is Amon, the scribe of the tower and the person who carries out God’s will closest to him.
“That’s because I want to see Gregory quickly.”
“You’re sick. “I don’t want to see you, so get out there.”
“yes? Ah, yes. All right. The Goblin King orders it, so of course it must be done. “Half-human, half-baby, Gregory.”
“You bastard!”
Just as Gregory was about to swing his fist, someone appeared behind him and grabbed his wrist.
Pak.
“stop.”
“… Dead Lord.”
Carlson, the apostle in charge of the tower’s second trial, shook his head and said.
“Fighting within Daemonium is not possible. “Isn’t this the rule we all set?”
Gregory shook off his hand, sat down in his seat, closed his eyes, and crossed his arms.
“Amon, you will meet with me separately when Daemonium is over.”
“Huh? Are you really going to hit me with that fist? “If that’s the case, I don’t like it!”
“If you don’t want to, I’ll go find it myself. “Then wait over there until then.”
Carlson waved his hand in the air, and Amon flew to the chair on the other side of the circular table, as if being pushed by something.
dump.
“Carlson, the story is trying to be interesting-”
“You both just shut up and wait until the others arrive. “Otherwise I won’t forgive you.”
After saying these words, Dead Lord sat down in the center. A long time passed, and when all the eggs in the hourglass on the table had fallen, there were a total of five people gathered.
Gregory, Carlson, and Amon arrived earlier, and the black cloak, Timeless, arrived in space just before the last grain of sand fell.
Shaak.
“Oh, I’m sorry. “I was a little late on purpose because it felt awkward being with you all.”
And only after the four of them gathered together, a knight in human form revealed his true identity in the shadows.
Turf, plod, trudge.
The one called Judas in the human world, the apostle Baphomet.
“Let’s start Demonium. The theme of this meeting is Strange’s matriarch ‘Verdin’.”
All the apostles’ eyes turned to Baphomet.
“Let’s start voting on whether to get rid of him who deviates from causality, or whether to continue like this.”
