Episode 137. The starting point of the waves.
The Demonium has begun.
The butler used mana to complete the letters ‘Life’ and ‘Death’ in the air.
“The theme of this Daemonium is the survival of ‘human Verdin’ who moves outside the causality.”
He looked at the apostles in order and continued speaking.
“We will hold a vote on whether to keep him alive or take his soul and send him to the spirit world.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the butler’s head. Let him lift up his left hand and lift up his voice.
“We will keep the human Verdin alive. Those who agree with this, please raise your left hand. If not, please raise your right hand.”
As soon as the butler finished his explanation, Gregory raised his left hand.
“I don’t think you should touch him. The reason is that even though he was outside the law of causality, he did not violate God’s will.”
Amon, who had been quiet, struck the ground hard with his staff.
Bang, bang, bang!
“I wouldn’t have done it now. But there’s no guarantee that it won’t happen later, right?”
“Then do you think Verdin will go against his will?”
“I’m not sure, but I think it could be possible.” That’s why we want to prevent unfortunate events in advance.”
“In the end, you’re saying we’re going to kill Verdin to deal with something that hasn’t even happened yet, right?”
“…That’s right.”
“Then I also feel like you might betray me for some reason. Can I kill you here before it’s too late?”
“Oh, no, that’s ridiculous!”
Deadlord, who was listening to the two of them, raised his left hand.
“I also vote for Verdin’s survival. “After dealing with him directly, I found that he was not a person who greatly deviated from God’s will.”
Amon tilted his head with an absurd expression.
“no? Mr. Carlson, you make that choice too?”
“Call me Deadlord. “Now I am not a human Carlson, but I came here as an apostle.”
“I’m disappointed.”
“I’m disappointed in you too.”
“… Phew. “Then what about Mr. Timeless?”
Timeless flapped his black cloak and took off his mask. The twisted face of the man hidden inside was smiling brightly.
Sigh-.
He raised his right hand.
“I will vote ‘Yes’. “There is no benefit to me from seeing him alive.”
Gregory looked at Timeless and made the sound of wind leaking through his teeth.
Write-.
“My face gets distorted when I think crooked thoughts.”
“yes? No, Gregory! Isn’t it too much to say that right next to you? “It was an accident that made my face look like this.”
“What kind of accident-. “I heard you looked like that from birth?”
“That’s because I was kicked by a thief when I was in my mother’s womb.”
“That’s it, that’s enough. “I don’t want to hear any more, so I just close my mouth and look at the ground.”
“… “No, what did I do so wrong?”
Deadlord pointed at Amon with his chin.
“you?”
Amon looked at the three in turn and then raised his right hand.
“I too will vote for ‘Yes.’ The reason is because I believe that his power can one day reach our apostles.”
“You can reach us?”
“Yes, you two have dealt with him yourself and know this, right? “The fact that I am not an ordinary human being.”
Dead Lord did not deny it but nodded briefly.
“Of course.”
“Furthermore, the demon king Monestier, who had been selected as a new apostle, also died by his hands. “I think this is an issue that should never be ignored.”
Deadlord took a deep breath, let it out slowly, and turned his attention to where the last voter was.
There was Baphomet there, not in its original form, but in human form.
“What do you think?”
Judas, or rather Baphomet, rested his chin in thought without answering.
The result of the vote, which was already split in half, was the same as making him the final authority.
Baphomet pondered for a while and asked Amon.
“Let me ask you one thing.”
“No, what question does the great Baphomet ask me?”
“If Verdin is the one who inherits the blood of God. Do you think we should withdraw this theme of Daemonium?”
“… … ?!”
Baphomet, who had asked the question, sighed heavily and shrugged his shoulders.
“I think everyone here knows why I asked this question.”
“Now, just a moment, Mr. Baphomet. Is there any proof that he has God’s blood?”
“The evidence is overwhelming. “If you want, I will show it to you in person after the Demonium is over.”
“… … .”
“I think the reason he deviated from causality was also part of his will. “So I made this decision.”
Baphomet raised his left hand above his head. With this, Daemonium came to an end.
Gregory deliberately walked in front of Amon, held his stomach, and laughed out loud.
“Hahaha! “You stupid wizard, don’t think everything will go your way.”
Amon had to listen not only to Gregory’s insulting attitude, but also to the Deadlord’s warning.

“I will continue to vote for Verdin’s survival, so don’t hold a Daemonium with such a useless topic.”
After they left, Amon lowered his head and ground his teeth in the rest of the conference room.
Grumbling.
“Damn you bastards… .”
Timeless came to his side and comforted his shoulder.
“Don’t worry about them. “Aren’t they just people in charge of lower classes who don’t have the skills anyway?”
“… Timeless.”
“I have a good idea, so please wait a moment. “There is a way to deal with Verdin using human power.”
“Using human power?”
“Yes, using human power.”
Timeless divided the space and illuminated Baphomet’s face to see what it had in mind.
Easy profit-
“We just have to do what we’ve been doing so far. “Soon, those who are called children of God will call upon you, Lord Baphomet.”
* * *
Gangrette explained what he had experienced at Glazer over the years.
“Edward was originally a good boy. Until he was given Bae Hu-ryeong the year he turned five.”
Gangret said with tears in his eyes. Kang Grad, listening to her story, also turned his head as if he was moved by her past story.
“So you’re saying Edward became strange after receiving Bae Hu-ryeong?”
“That’s right. Until then, he was a nicer child than anyone else, but the moment he received Bae Hu-ryeong, the child suddenly changed. He started killing all his brothers.”
“You killed your brothers?”
“Yes, among the five brothers, the only one who survived was ‘Dictree’, who was younger than him. Other than that, everyone older than you… .”
Edward was born at the same time as me and was a genius enough to be called the best wizard in Glazer history.
In my last life, my brothers killed me before I could bloom, so I was unable to carry out my wish.
In this life, there are no competitors, so was there any reason to deal with the brothers?
‘No.’
He disposed of their own brother before confronting us.
If so, there must be some internal circumstances that I don’t know about.
It is impossible to understand everything that happened in Glazer through Gangrette’s story alone.
As I remained silent, Gangrette spoke, wiping away the tears rolling down his cheeks.
“That’s how I lost all my children and was kicked out of the Glazer family. To the west with my brother, Kangradra, who is here next to me.”
“What made you become an assassin there?”
“… “That’s because my family is a family of assassins.”
“Gangret’s family?”
“Yes, Verdin has probably heard of it too. “The ‘Black Snakes’ of the West are a group that no one knows among assassins.”
Black Snake.
This is an assassination group that I also know about.
It is one of the leading guilds on the continent, and is said to have skilled people who could even take the emperor’s head if they wanted to.
However, I heard that very few people know their identities and that they operate in such secrecy that the general public cannot even see their faces.
‘So much so that I’ve never even met myself in my past life.’
These people are hard to see.
“Then what is your relationship with Hagen? “Can we see this as a link between Black Snake and Glaser?”
“That’s right. But it was a long time ago. “Now I have Glazer and Chuck on my back.”
“… Well then, let me ask you one more question. “You two said you wanted to use me to get revenge on Glaser, so why bother looking for the difficult way instead of the easy way?”
“The easy way?”
“Yes, as long as you can move Blacksnake. “Getting revenge on Edward will be easy.”
Of course, if Edward dies, Glazer will not sit still.
Right now, these two are probably prepared for that and are making their move.
“It’s impossible.”
“Why?”
“Edward is a stronger kid than we could imagine.”
“Are you Edward?”
“Yes, Master Verdin, you may not know. The child has two hearts. When one dies, the other begins to recover quickly and revives the dead heart. Thanks to this, not only is it impervious to poison, but it also has a nearly immortal body that can quickly recover even if a vital point is stabbed… .”
The moment I heard her words, my heart sank.
‘Two hearts’ that only a few people have.
‘So you were able to use magic with both hands?’
Who would have guessed that it was Edward who had two hearts, a technology discovered after the war between Strange and Glazer, a condition for the formation of the Bun.
‘thank god.’
Before he grew up, he erased all records of Auror and Mana fusion technology in the Glazer library.
“In the end, you’re saying that you didn’t have enough strength to kill him, so you came looking for me, right?”
“That’s right.”
“The reason he wants revenge is because he killed his brothers, and Gangrette is doing this to avenge his children.”
“you’re right.”
“There are some parts I don’t understand. “Then isn’t Edward Gangrette’s child?”
When asked a question, she lowered her head.
Whether it’s true or not, you should be able to give an answer to this without difficulty.
Why the sudden reaction like that?
When Gangret said nothing, Gangrad answered for him.
“no.”
“Then whose child is Edward?”
“We don’t know that either. “Hagen brought the child from outside one day, and she asked her sister to fill the place of the motherless child.”
“So what was Hagen doing while Edward killed the other brothers?”
Kangradra swallowed his saliva at my last question.
“… “I was watching.”
“You were watching?”
“Yes, the day I first witnessed Edward killing other brothers using high magic, he couldn’t control his joy and ordered the other brothers to be killed as well.”
“?!”
“Maybe he wanted to test how strong his son was. “How outstanding his talent is compared to other wizards his age, and how amazing his own blood flows within him.”
It’s an unbelievable story.
Strange also risked his life among his brothers, but his parents did not directly encourage the slaughter. I just hoped for transcendental growth by imprinting a world of strength against the jungle, where the strong survive.
“Then Edward was influenced not only by Bae Hu-ryeong but also by his father in killing his brother.”
“Yes, there may be something else we don’t know about… .”
As soon as she finished speaking, a loud noise was heard outside the castle.
Kwaaaaang!
What happened next was something that everyone at Strange could not have predicted.
Grumbling.
Edward appeared through the flames rising high beyond the collapsed wall.
He was looking at Gangret and Gangradra with a very evil smile.
“… Oh my, all the guys I want to kill are gathered here!”
From this day on, the full-scale war between Strange and Glaser began.
