Episode 164. Breakwater.
Trial Island, the 50th floor, connects the 49th and 51st floors of the tower.
There, shadowy darkness seeped through every crack and hole in the island.
The giant monster that appeared along with this continued to emit terrifying howls from the shadows and began hunting its own people.
“Keeeeek!”
The animal-type monsters that originally guarded the island and the breakwater built by Verdin and his colleagues tried to stop them, but an unexpected force appeared.
A long red-haired boy with horns on his forehead who appears to be one of the apostles, the leader of the monsters that came down from the upper floors in waves.
“What kind of person would dare to block the waves?”
Before he stepped forward, the battle between monsters seemed to be even, but with the appearance of the boy, the tide turned.
Quagwang!
Wherever he touched, a pillar of fire rose up and the monster melted.
Not only that, it emits mana so strong that the terrain blocking the path is also transformed.
sssss-
“Imperator, is this your fault?”
The red-haired boy whispered softly.
Imperator, who appeared in front of him through space, shrugged his eyebrows.
“I? No way.”
“Then who did this? How dare you try to block the blessings from God.”
“… You should find out for yourself, right? I just came down here to help with the ordeal for a while. “Nothing on this floor was touched.”
The red-haired boy glared at him and aimed the mana in his hand.
“Damn you, demon bastard.”
“what? “Have you forgotten that you are also a demon?”
“I am human.”
“Speak clearly. You used to be human, but you’re not human anymore, right? jin.”
Imperator’s sword and the mana-filled fist of the man called Jin collided.
Quaaaang!
With a roar, their energy spread out in all directions, and a typhoon-like wind swept across the island.
Kurrrrrr.
“Imperator, if I were you, I would have taken them out before the waves arrived.”
“Jin, that’s why you are ignored by the other apostles. “I even do things that don’t need to be done.”
“It’s not useless. It is to pave the way for carrying out His will.”
“An apostle is someone who has the ability to walk the path even if it has not been paved.”
The two glared at each other.
But no further conversation continued. The apostle called Jin just left the place with an unpleasant expression and threw a circular mana made from his own mana in the middle of the island.
Quang!
As the circular mana lost its light, a dark sphere appeared, falling like a meteor.
His ability, which looked like a shadow, flowed like water across every corner of the island, absorbing all the life force.
Not only that, but the dark group surrounding the body invaded the island at a frightening speed, constantly scanning the surroundings with their sparkling eyes here and there.
“go away.”
Jin lightly clapped his hands in the air.
match!
The monsters swallowed by his darkness instantly rose high in the air.
Doo doo doo doo!
It started falling on the ground like rain.
Quang! Kwaaaaang!
The impact caused the monsters that had become breakwaters and blocked the road to explode and either die or become unable to move, preventing them from performing their duties.
“haha-”
Imperator shook his head as he looked at his abilities.
* * *
Monsters that appeared in waves from the eastern sea began to cover the continent in earnest.
Their presence, which is much larger and more powerful than the monsters we imagined, spread fear and anxiety across the island.
It moved faster than expected and attacked from all directions.
The speed of their invasion was so rapid that the wave’s presence spread darkness and fear across the continent in less than a week.
‘Yes.’
So I made a choice.
“Assemble all the southern troops that Strange can currently operate, and call in the Glazer wizards who surrendered to us to form five battalions.”
It was an operation that could be considered a last resort. Even though we spread the breakwater and slowed it down, the waves came much higher than expected.
‘I have no choice but to change my strategy accordingly.’
Rox closed his eyes and waved his hands in the air.
“Anyway, the breakwater I built on the tower collapsed too easily. Is there any other way to push them out with my abilities?”
I couldn’t answer his question right away. There is a good idea, but the conditions are not yet in place to move in that direction.
Alfredo, who happened to be listening to our story, asked me vaguely.
“Verdin, send me north. “Then let me hand over the aforementioned giant to that little boy.”
I want to do that too.
But now we don’t have the energy to move together. It’s too much to deal with the monsters coming toward the castle right now, and it’s too risky for me to go north myself.
“no.”
“why?”
“I can’t leave the castle now.”

“Then you just have to send me and that kid.”
“And what if something happens? “If you run away, things get more complicated.”
“under… . “Are you sure you don’t trust me?”
Cynthia gave Alfredo a strong tug on his beard and told him what I was going to say.
grasp.
“The traitor who was leaking information within the party like a rat has now come back and started talking so shamelessly?”
“Ah, ah. Cynthia, calm down Cynthia!”
“Then shut up and stay in that corner and just look at the wall. Okay, don’t you know?”
“Oh, I understand. “I understand, so give me this beard-”
Before Alfredo could interrupt her, he let go of the beard she was holding and kicked her in the abdomen.
puck!
Alfredo rolled into a ball and flew to the corner of the room.
thud.
Rox seemed to find him funny, holding his stomach and laughing and asked me again.
“Shall we bring back even the giants we left behind in the Legion?”
“No, they shouldn’t move there. “You must remain in your position.”
“why?”
“Because it’s not time for them to step forward yet. “It’s such a waste of material to use to block waves.”
The number of giant corpses remaining on this continent is probably ten or less.
In that case, I know that in the great battle that will take place in the future, in order to win there, I would have to endure the use of giants.
“Let’s do it this way.”
“how?”
“You will move with Philip from now on.”
“Philip?”
“Yes, if the modified monster he uses dies. “You bring them back to life and use them.”
“… ah!”
“Then we can replace the empty seats with monsters that are much more powerful than ordinary soldiers.”
Rox raised his thumbs with both hands and twirled them in front of my face.
“Wow, are you really smart? “How did you come up with that idea?”
“Don’t say unnecessary things. “Philip will be able to find out his location right away, so follow him.”
“huh.”
No sooner had the conversation ended than Philip appeared from behind the curtain. He had been waiting there for some time, and sweat was beading on his forehead.
“Did you call me?”
“… Could it be that you were the one who sneaked in through the window last night?”
“what? “How did you know?”
How could you not know?
Even after receiving Beth’s report, I was ignoring it. I thought of it as a petty animal, too weak to threaten me.
“I heard the whole story, so you understand, right?”
Philip came over, wiping away the scars on his face, and put his arm around Rox’s shoulder.
“sure. “Not only this, I will take care of the matters you mentioned earlier.”
“okay.”
“Anyway, have you heard any news from Midgard?”
“Midgard?”
“Yes, they say one of Rothschild’s sons went on a rampage and wiped out the Knights of God.”
“?!”
What does this mean again?
In this situation, they attacked the Knights of God, their main force.
“Tell me about it in a little more detail.”
“what? I guess you didn’t hear me. “A man named Asabragra attacked the lower part of the World Tree, saying he was hunting down traitors.”
“… … .”
“They say they even killed all the wizards who came from the east who rebelled against Rothschild.”
“When you say the wizard of the East, do you mean Glaser?”
“Of course.”
If so, it means that in Ragnarok, we knew that Pendragon was plotting treason.
‘then.’
Why did they leave it alone until now? If I had just climbed up the World Tree when I faced them, things could have gotten worse.
After thinking for a while, I gave Philip the answer.
“When the waves stop, I will go find Ragnarok myself.”
“Verdin?”
“Yes, at that time we pulled out the so-called children of God from the World Tree. “We will ensure that the real owner of that place returns.”
Philip tilted his head.
“Are you the real owner of the World Tree?”
“okay.”
Only then can you climb to a higher part of the tower.
‘of course.’
There are probably only a few people who know the truth about this. Brunhild, sensing the meaning of this conversation, gently stroked my cheek with his front paw.
“We Verdin are smart, aren’t we? “I know that far.”
“Do you know, Master?”
“You can’t know. “I was the first to find that method.”
“You’re a human, but Master is a demon, right?”
“He’s also a person.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Siegfried thrust his sword right in front of my face.
“When are you going to kill the Timeless guy?”
How clueless is this bastard really? In this situation, you said something out of nowhere and fell asleep.
‘I think so, though.’
It’s not that I don’t know his heart.
I waved my hand in the air to end the conversation with Philip, then lay down on the sofa and answered Siegfried.
“Master.”
“okay.”
“To be honest, I don’t want to deal with him right now.”
“what? “Does this crazy guy plan to let his enemy live?”
Siegfried got angry and swung his sword at me. Of course, he was a form with nothing left but a soul, so he could not cut it but pierced through it.
Boom! Boom!
“For me, there is no need to revisit trials that have already been overcome. “I don’t want to waste my time dealing with his anger.”
“So you’re saying you’re going to leave alone the guy who’s trying to kill you?”
“No, that’s not it. “I know that Timeless has also made a lot of preparations to deal with Strange.”
I took out the dagger from my belt and used it to match the map hanging on the wall.
grasp!
The exact location where the tip of the blade reached was Beowangcheong.
“If we move first, it will only give him a reason to counterattack. So, since we have many enemies, it is better to wait.”
“Wait?”
“Yes, Timeless must have planted a spy on our side as well. “We have been staying together in this castle for a very long time, not just for a day or two-”
Just before I finished speaking.
Knock, knock, knock.
Just then, someone knocked on our door.
“… The head of the family. “Guardian Knight Commander Beth would like to meet with you briefly.”
