Episode 166. Strange’s sword.
I had a dream.
At the graveside with countless tombstones, a large, sharp sword that seemed to cut through the darkness could be seen in the center.
‘That’s it.’
Isn’t this the Strange family’s emblem?
‘No, to be precise, it is the very sword engraved on the pattern.’
The black blade glows in the dark, and around it are neatly arranged tombstone stones covered in dirt and moss.
Above, two dragons flew freely over the sword and surrounded the tombstone.
I was able to recognize their identity while facing them. One is Strange’s guardian deity, and the other is a dragon seen in Glazer’s territory.
‘It’s definitely that dragon.’
I would have cut it down with Hagen.
‘No.’
A dragon is not something that can be dealt with so easily. I know this because I have dealt with them in a past life.
‘then’
Are those two with me now? Those who protect their families and those who submit to me.
It tried to show itself to me in some form, so it would make sense to say that it appears in my dreams.
“… no.”
By the way, is this really a dream?
My five senses were so vivid, like reality. The thick smell of rotting corpses wafting from the graveside and the roar of two dragons that pierced my ears.
For a long time, I watched the wings of two dragons splitting the sky. I don’t know how much time passed, but when the two came down to the ground, the air around the tombstone had become oppressively quiet.
‘As expected, dragons are amazing.’
The force felt when facing two animals at the same time was truly amazing. It was quiet and grand at the same time, and had a mystery that transcended time.
“What is the reason you came to pursue my dream?”
I spoke confidently in front of them. To be honest, I felt overwhelming helplessness to the point where I couldn’t move my hands and feet properly.
‘Because it’s not an opponent you can’t beat.’
Of the two dragons, the one with red scales approached me.
Coo!
He was as big as a mountain and opened his mouth wide, looking threatening.
Soon, its size slowly decreased and it took on a human-like appearance.
Easy profit-
When I saw the dragon in human form, I thought of someone. He had the exact same face and physique as someone I knew.
“… Siegfried?”
The dragon raised his eyebrows at my question. He didn’t give an answer, but he didn’t seem to deny it either.
“It’s been a while, Verdin.”
Even his voice was similar to Siegfried.
“Do you know me?”
“Yes, how could I not know the person carrying Strange’s sword?”
“So you’re saying you’re the guardian deity of our family?”
“god? No, I am not a god or anything.”
“then.”
“I just want you to know that I am someone who shares your intentions.”
Siegfried, no, the dragon turned his head and looked at the other dragon.
“That guy that your power brought through Glazer also has the same intentions as us.”
Where his eyes were directed, there was a dragon with blue scales that he had seen in the eastern land.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. “What do you mean by that, and what exactly are the two of you in front of me right now?”
The dragon that resembled Siegfried just smiled and did not say anything clearly.
“You will find out naturally when the time comes. “What you need to know now is that we are behind you.”
“The fact that you are behind me?”
“Yes, to overcome the dark times ahead for you. And to protect Strange’s sword against the one called God.”
“… … .”
“Because you’ll need a firmer resolution than that.”
I looked into his eyes and asked back.
“It’s as if you’re telling me that trouble is coming.”
“Yeah, it’s similar to that. Verdin, can you see the names of those who are currently settled here?”
“name?”
I turned my head and tried to read the words on the tombstone. Wherever my eyes landed, the letters were clustered together, then spread out, and so on, hiding their shape that I couldn’t read them.
“I don’t know.”
“Those who are now buried in this land. “These are people who sacrificed their lives to protect Strange in the past.”
“Are you saying he is Strange’s ancestor?”
“yes.”
I glanced at the graveside again and then shrugged.
“so? “I think their sacrifices are noble, but I don’t respect them enough to shed tears and become sentimental.”
“Look at the tombstone behind you now.”
“The tombstone behind me?”
“okay.”
The dragon crossed his arms and took a step back. I saw the words on the tombstone he was pointing to. I turned my head away, thinking I wouldn’t read it anyway.
‘what?’
A red tombstone with a shape similar to the handle of my sword, Misteltaine.

And my name and achievements were lined up written on the floor.
‘what.’
Why is my name written here? I slowly read the achievements written on the tombstone.
The scene written in the last verse where they are blocking the waves that hit the continent was similar to the current situation.
I slowly turned my head and looked at the dragon.
“Could this be the spirit world?”
The dragon looked at me with a mysterious smile whose emotions could not be read.
“As expected, my eyes were not wrong. Verdin, you are the person most suited to Strange’s sword.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“It means that the moment to use the sword has arrived.”
“The moment to use the sword? No, my question was whether this was the spirit world, but-”
“I think you know even if you don’t answer that question.”
A dragon that resembled Siegfried walked right in front of me.
Turf, plod, trudge.
“Take down the tower, I won’t stop you this time.”
“… “You’re not stopping me?”
“Yes, you are now enough to defeat him.”
A feast of incomprehensible stories.
However, he clearly understood what the dragon wanted.
‘Take down the tower.’
Not going up.
I tried to ask him about this, but suddenly my eyesight went dark and my vision began to close.
‘is it.’
I didn’t come here.
I guess he called me.
‘Not a guardian deity, but one who has the same intentions as us.’
* * *
As soon as I woke up from my dream, I immediately jumped out of bed.
“… “Until now, I have not been walking slowly down the road, but rather wandering without being able to decide on a destination.”
Unify the continent and conquer the tower.
Not only that, he will become the strongest swordsman in Strange history.
If you say it this way, the end seems clear, but if it is not achieved, it is no different from an abstract story.
‘Yes.’
I was so anxious. If I had pushed as hard as I did in my past life, Rothschild would not have come to this level.
“You were too careful.”
It was good to move carefully so as not to repeat the mistake, but it limited me.
I realized something clearly through this dream.
The guardian deity of the family who firmly says, ‘Tear down the tower.’ No, he is the one who has the same intentions as us.
I just turned my gaze and looked at Siegfried.
“Master.”
Siegfried, who was sticking his face under the maid’s skirt, was startled and waved his hands.
“Oh, no. I never tried to see Ellie’s panties. “I just saw something on the ground and tried to see something.”
“… “Yes, please come here so we can talk for a moment.”
“conversation? Oh yes, that should be it. “The student said he wanted to talk to me, but the teacher should answer.”
He flew in front of me with a regretful expression.
Easy profit-
“What’s going on?”
“Master, you said you once cut down a dragon.”
“yes.”
“Is that the top?”
“That’s right, I cut off the head of the red dragon called the Lord of Calamity. “With the cat next to you right now.”
Brunhild responded by peacefully licking his paw.
“That’s right, I remember too. Even if he looks stupid when you look at him like this. “Your sword-handling skills were truly amazing.”
“is it so?”
“huh.”
“Then there is one thing I want to ask you two.”
I grabbed Misteltein from the table next to the bed, pointed my sword in the air, and asked Siegfried.
“Can I cut down a dragon now?”
They gave two answers to this question. Brunhild said it was possible because I was stronger than Siegfried at the time.
Another said that it was impossible to simply be strong and cut down a dragon, saying that they should be viewed separately.
‘Maybe Siegfried is closer to the answer.’
Because I personally cut down the dragon.
Brunhild returned to her human form wearing a blue dress and snuggled next to me.
“Siegfried, that guy is jealous of your power. Maybe if the Siegfried back then and you now fight. “You can turn it into a whole roast in an instant, right?”
Siegfried got angry and pointed at Brunhild.
“Don’t be damned! “If my sword skills were that weak, how would I have made it to just below the top of the tower?”
“You couldn’t make it to the top, right?”
“Yeah, that’s true, but… . “It’s not my fault.”
“Then whose fault is it? “The party was wiped out because you were defeated by that apostle.”
“It’s not that I was defeated, it’s that the party was wiped out! “Didn’t you all fight together?”
“Don’t say it’s you. “Because you ran away before we even had a chance to plan, so we couldn’t even fight properly.”
“… … .”
“As proof, my body is still trapped in the tower, you perverted prosecutor with a head full of panties!”
If it were me, I would have passed over their conversation in vain. But today, I held Brunhild by the waist, held him close, and listened to his story.
“Master.”
“… Oh, huh?”
“Master’s body is said to be trapped in the tower. Can you tell what floor it is on?”
In my previous life, I had reached the 81st floor. As far as I know, it was said that the 100th floor is where God resides, so wouldn’t her body have been trapped there?
“81st floor.”
“The 81st floor?”
“Yes, my body is in the ice castle on that floor. “The apostle who is said to be closest to God is guarding there.”
“… “Then what is the name of the apostle who imprisoned you there?”
Brunhild shook his head at my question.
“I can’t tell you. Instead of taking the soul out of there, restrictions were placed on it.”
“Then can you answer my question?”
“question? “In a way.”
I pointed the sword I was holding at Siegfried and said,
“I want to know who is stronger between the tower apostle who killed you two, him or me.”
