Episode 140. The starting point of the waves.
Quang!
With a loud noise, the black liquid surrounding Edward’s body shot into the sky.
His mana, which flew at high speed, broke through the clouds and exploded in the sky, and the black liquid that poured down like rain fell all over Strange Castle and turned into writhing monsters.
Kieeeeek!
It had an appearance similar to slime.
The knights and wizards who had been at war for a long time now face a new enemy.
‘In this situation, who will Strange and Glaser judge as their main enemy?’
The two camps found a quick answer to this so that it was not considered a problem.
“Change the target from a wizard to a monster!”
Beth from the Strange camp raised her voice.
Not to be outdone, Dictree drew his staff on the ground and shouted, creating a magic circle.
“Stop attacking and focus on defense! “We must stop the war until all unknown monsters are eliminated!”
The knight and wizard joined forces and began to fight.
They made a decision quickly, without even having to say who was first.
Perhaps the reason the commanders of the two families made this choice was because of their experience accumulated over a long period of time.
Kieeee!!
Countless black slimes rushed forward, moving as fast as beasts.
Knights and wizards used auras and mana to deal with them.
Chop rock!
“… Damn it, the more you cut it, the more it grows!”
One of the knights looked at the regenerating black slime with a distorted expression.
One of the wizards watching the fight used fire magic to set it off.
Boom, boom!
The fragments of the black slime divided into hundreds seemed to ‘crack’ and burn, but as soon as the heat cooled, they appeared to regenerate and divided into even larger numbers.
“No, that’s ridiculous.”
Not long after the battle began, both knights and wizards experienced despair.
The more we fight, the more the number of enemies increases, and we cannot find a way to eliminate them.
Philip, who witnessed this scene from afar outside the battlefield, raised his eyebrows.
“Oh my… .”
Then he gave an order to his modified monsters.
“I think it’s time for you guys to step up.”
Under Philip’s command, tens of thousands of monsters hiding in the canyons and forests rushed towards Strange Castle.
Doo doo doo doo.
The ground shook violently as if there had been an earthquake.
Kieeeeek!
The subsequent actions of the modified monsters gave hope to humans.
The modified monsters made the black slime that had been impervious to any attack until now disappear.
This is not about destroying the enemy through physical shock. It was simply absorbed and destroyed as if it were a natural ‘meal’.
‘also.’
A smile appeared at the corner of Philip’s mouth.
Sigh!
He opened the book he had kept in his arms, looked at the bookshelf with a monster that looked exactly like black slime, and monologued.
“Those guys are ‘Chaoslings’, ancient monsters that are said to have destroyed humanity in the past.”
Chaos Ring.
An ancient monster that is said to have swallowed all living things in the world in the past and reduced the continent to nothingness.
This was one of the many ancient records recorded in Pavlos Ruines, but it was unclear whether this book really contained the truth or was just a story made up by ancient people out of religious faith.
‘of course.’
This opportunity has made it clear whether the contents of the book are real or not.
“As expected, everything written in this book was true. “Whoever eats it first gets the world.”
Phillip smiled and looked at his modified monsters.
“Ha-I guess I really am a genius because I found a way to attack those strong enough to destroy humanity!”
He was satisfied.
Everything you have done.
And Philip, who watched this battle, was sure what to do with his residence.
‘Let’s join hands with Verdin.’
Glazer can never beat Strange.
No matter how much the Pope and Rothschild are behind him, there is no one who can defeat that knight except God.
“Yes, that’s right. If I want to get to the top, I have to join hands with the strongest person on the continent… .”
Philip closed the book with a wry smile.
widely.
Soon, he waved his hands in the air as if conducting an orchestra and gave orders to the modified monsters.
“Protect Strange, you move under the command of me, Philip. “It will be the sacrifice that will put Verdin on the throne.”
To make a path to the top of the tower.
* * *
When the black liquid disappeared, time that was thought to have stopped began to flow again.
I don’t know how much time has passed here, but Edward’s past gave us a good clue to dealing with him when he turned into an apostle.
‘yes.’

Anyway, if Edward accepts the Tower’s will and becomes an apostle.
And if the moment inevitably comes when I have to deal with him in order to get to the top of the tower.
This moment was definitely a good opportunity for me.
“Come.”
I held my sword tightly and looked at Edward, who had transformed into an apostle.
Although his appearance looked no different from before, the invisible power hidden deep inside Edward’s body was so amazing that it could not be compared to anything else.
‘After all, an apostle is an apostle.’
Not only did I, the so-called Sword King, feel fear from the enemy, but his energy transmitted solely through the air made my hands shake like crazy.
This is a level of strength similar to that of Monestier, who faced him earlier, or perhaps even stronger.
‘… but.’
Compared to the red dragon, the lord of disaster that I faced in my past life, it is far inferior.
A transcendent power that instills despair just by making eye contact.
I’ve dealt with this guy before, so he could never submit me to this level.
“Master.”
I stretched my right arm forward.
As if Siegfried had been waiting, he came into my body through my palm.
Ssaaaaaa-
After descending, my body glowed golden light.
Since he has exhausted a lot of his aura from the previous battle, it is unclear how long he will last in my body.
One thing is certain: if I don’t defeat Edward, Strange will disappear from history today.
‘Because that is the power of an apostle.’
Edward slowly stood up, lightly touched the crescent moon engraved on his forehead, and asked me.
“Are you sure you want to fight me?”
“okay.”
“You will not win.”
“That’s right, you can’t defeat me. “Not only the past, but also the present and the future.”
“… You probably already know. “I am not a human, but a person who has reached the realm of God.”
“And I have the power to cut down anyone who reaches the realm of the god.”
We glared at each other.
I read the murderous look in his expressionless face.
‘succeded.’
Although he is controlling his emotions as if nothing has happened, the reed field in his heart must be greatly shaken.
Just a little more and I can make it attack me.
And I won’t miss that opportunity.
“Die, Verdin.”
The crescent moon on Edward’s forehead split to the side, his third eye opened, and an intense power appeared within it.
Easy profit-
‘It has eyes on its forehead?’
Could it be that this is the power he received when he turned into an apostle?
I couldn’t tell what the eyes were, but I sensed danger and deviated from the direction his eyes were looking.
Pot!
The moment he kicked the ground and flew up, the space shook greatly.
Quang!
As soon as he blinked, the place where I was standing exploded and resonated.
Weeeeing-
“Ugh.”
Even though I read his attack in advance and dodged it, I felt pain in both ears, as if my eardrums were being pierced by an awl.
I can’t believe I could perform such a powerful attack with just a blink of my eye.
‘You are stronger than I imagined.’
of course.
‘This is not an opponent I can’t beat.’
Edward had a fatal flaw that made it difficult for him to deal with me.
It didn’t matter to me whether he was an apostle or not. No matter how strong the magic he used could not determine whether he would win or lose this battle.
Easy profit.
Because the bracelets on both my wrists responded to Edward’s magic.
‘also.’
Thanks to this, I was able to find out how far the power of the artifact ‘Rising Force’ extends.
This not only engulfed human magic, but also responded to the abilities of the Apostle, a transcendent being.
‘Then I have no choice but to win this fight.’
Because this guy will swallow up all his magic.
“Edward, I tell you again, you can’t beat me.”
Edward slowly turned his gaze and answered while reading the situation on the battlefield.
“Think whatever you want. “I’m not going to fight with you anyway.”
“… what?”
“Nothing good will come of me fighting you here and now. “Whether I win or lose, in the end I will become an apostle who tormented an insignificant human being.”
He looked at me with an arrogant expression, as if he were an omnipotent being.
This was similar to the way a predator treats its prey, so it was a provocation that scratched my pride.
‘however.’
I am different from my previous life.
There is enough room to laugh at this point.
“Have you ever heard of it? “About the apostle who was killed by a worthless human being.”
“… … .”
“I know another apostle who will meet the same fate as that guy. What is his name?” . ah! “He has the blood of the Glazers, a family that will soon be ruined.”
“… … .”
“You said your name was Edward, right? “I cried because my arm was cut off, but I don’t know if you remember.”
Edward chuckled and flew into the air. I thought he would get so excited and attack me at this level, but he surprisingly stayed calm and spoke to me.
“I will finish the decisive battle with you at the tower.”
“tower?”
“Yeah, I guess I won’t be able to fight properly here. “It seems like there will be too many victims that have nothing to do with us.”
To hear the word “victim” come out of this guy’s mouth, the corner of my mouth started to flutter in response to such an unfamiliar reaction.
“Okay, then I’ll go to the tower. But I won’t leave Glazer alone until then.”
“do whatever you want. “No matter who wins the war, this world doesn’t concern me anymore.”
“Do you mean if I kill all those wizards right now in front of you?”
“Yes, but it won’t feel good to actually see their deaths in person-”
Edward raised his left hand and snapped his fingers in the air.
Perfect!
At the same time, all of the Glazer wizards near Castle Strange disappeared.
Sigh!
“This battle is Strange’s victory. I admit defeat to you. ”
“… Are you running away?”
“Yeah, no matter what I do, I don’t think I can beat you now. So I will bide my time.”
“Waiting for the right time?”
Edward turned his gaze and looked at the tower in the distance.
“Verdin, now in this world, waves from the sea of chaos will wash over the entire continent.”
“… A sea of chaos?”
“Get ready to face a new wave. “I will come back then.”
“A new wave. “What on earth are you talking about?”
“You will find out soon. And do not forget, I was born again to kill you.”
