Episode 186. A doll’s dream.
As my sword split the ice rock, there was a loud noise that sounded like the world was collapsing, and snow began to fall from the snowy mountain.
Kurrrrrrr!
‘also.’
God existed.
An unimaginably powerful energy felt at the same time the seal is released. If this guy has dark intentions, I think this world could really be destroyed.
“That’s amazing.”
I monologued without realizing it.
This is not a respect for a wonderful being called God, but rather an admiration for a living being with a level of power never encountered before.
I thought that it was probably an action born of inner curiosity.
Kurrrrr!
Alfredo smiled bitterly as he looked at the falling snow pile. I can’t believe that a guy who was fidgeting with a stern expression just a moment ago would react like that.
‘As expected, it would be a lie to say that someone called God would be handed over to me.’
If it’s true, there’s no need to be so happy when we haven’t even achieved unification of the continent yet.
“Verdin, thank you for your hard work so far.”
Alfredo looked at me with a mean expression. The sparkling aurors in his hands looked like they were about to go into battle.
“You did the hard work. “Because you brought me here.”
“that’s right. I also worked really hard. “It took a lot of trouble to bring scum like you all the way from the far south!”
“trash?”
“Yeah, trash. “You f*cking murderous bastard with Strange’s blood.”
“… … .”
“Furthermore, Cynthia says she is a Holy Knight but sympathizes with this devilish bastard. And a spoiled little brat who knows nothing but fighting. “It was really hard traveling with you three!”
Your true feelings are finally coming out.
The fact that he can talk like this in front of us probably means that a being called God who has come out of the seal is watching his back.
‘also.’
Before I could answer, Alfredo’s mind seemed to have gone crazy, and he laughed maniacally with a maniacal expression.
“Khahaha, khahaha, kehehehe! at las… . My world has finally arrived. My country in the North, my people, my world. “How we have all dreamed of this moment!”
Kurrrrrr.
I asked him as I used my Auror to split a pile of falling snow.
“I don’t know what you believe. “If you’re too fussy, I could kill you right here and now.”
“You, me?”
“okay. At this distance, even the so-called god will not be able to protect you. “No matter how strong he is.”
“… You look down on God so much. “With just a single movement of a finger, I can take your worthless life.”
“Don’t forget that my sword can also take your head off with just one blow.”
He didn’t give in to my warning and smiled broadly. Moreover, as if he wasn’t afraid of my sword, he approached me first.
Turf, plod, trudge.
“Try to kill him.”
“… … .”
“Anyway, since God came into this world, my life and living have nothing to do with it.”
“What does that mean?”
“What do you mean? Verdin, do you remember when I and Cynthia went to the upper level of the tower?”
If Alfredo and Cynthia went to the upper level of the tower, wouldn’t that mean they escaped with the help of Baphomet?
I nodded slightly and held the handle of the sword tightly.
“I remember.”
“Then who did we meet? “I don’t know why you can’t tell me which floor you went to, right?”
“okay.”
“… That’s why you died by my hands today. “You should have been more suspicious of me and Cynthia and looked for answers.”
“Are you looking for an answer?”
“If only we knew who we were meeting at that time. “Because you would not have awakened the god who is currently sleeping on this mountain.”
Even if I asked about it, I couldn’t answer, and Cynthia was also reluctant to talk about it, so I have no regrets about the past.
‘If any problems arise because of that.’
Rather than saying that my judgment was wrong, it could be said that the person dealing with me was well prepared.
“So who did you meet? “On the upper floors of the tower.”
“… Monestier.”
“Monestier?”
“Yes, Monestier. I had a fight with you risking my life. “Strange’s traitor.”
Monestière de Strange.
Wasn’t he the one who was selected as an apostle by the owner of the tower and gained the power of a hatchling, but went to the tower after being defeated in a battle with me?
I kept my distance from Alfredo and continued asking questions.
“so? “He offered to give you the world if you did something like this.”
“that’s right. Take out the god who is currently trapped here and collapse the tower. They say they will bring out the dragons trapped there and destroy this world.”
“You’re taking out the dragon trapped in the tower?”
“okay! This plan involves not only Baphomet but also other apostles. “A great operation to change the owner of the tower.”
Alfredo’s expression and body language were full of confidence. I don’t know who is ultimately behind him, but it’s such an amazing plan that it’s hard to judge right away.
What I can now know through the conversation with him is that the tower will be brought down through the so-called god of this place.
The point is that they are trying to destroy the world by taking out a dragon from a collapsed tower.
And this plan involves apostles who rebelled against the owner of the tower.
‘wait for a sec.’

The story is a little strange.
If the world were truly destroyed as Alfredo said, it would mean that he would also disappear, so would he be that happy?
This was no different from that of a fanatically religious pagan or cultist, and I could see that I could not have a conversation with him using a normal way of thinking.
Sigh.
I responded by lightly waving my sword in the air.
“Then, to break this seal that only Strange can cut. “So you’re saying that you’ve been by my side all this time, manipulating information, and bringing me here?”
“yes.”
“Behind you are Baphomet and Monestier.”
“that’s right.”
“Then why couldn’t Cynthia answer what happened then?”
I turned my head towards Cynthia. She just pursed her lips as if she still couldn’t talk about him. Alfredo, who could talk about this, answered for me.
“Because I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?”
“Yes, the upper level of the tower we entered with the help of Baphomet. “Cynthia had no time to worry while I was plotting this because she was busy talking to the woman she met there.”
“… … .”
“Right? Cynthia. “What did you say the name of that bitch you met was?”
Alfredo twitched the corner of his mouth as he looked at her, then relaxed his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and continued speaking.
“Ber… . Did you say Dandi? “I said she was a woman with a deep connection to Strange.”
Cynthia screamed.
“Yaaaa!”
The snow that was pouring down at her loud roar stopped momentarily, but started moving again a few seconds later.
Kurrrrrr.
“Alfredo, you crazy bastard. Didn’t you decide not to talk about it? Baphomet also promised.”
“promise? What a promise. Ah, are you really saying that I nodded when you asked me not to say anything?”
“okay.”
“I’m sorry, but that’s not what I promised. “I just moved my neck because it was a little stiff, and you seemed to understand.”
“… … .”
“And think again. Baphomet made a contract with you that day, but I had nothing to do with you two. “I was just having a conversation with Monestier while you were distracted.”
“… “You piece of trash.”
“You are the trash. “I’m talking about you, Strange, who has ignored and trampled on me until now, relying only on his power, and you are walking that path together.”
Rox clenched his fists and rushed at Alfredo.
“A baby like this dog!”
I stopped the fight by grabbing him by the back of his neck and throwing him in Cynthia’s direction.
Coo!
“Okay, everyone, don’t get upset and just wait. “I will finish this matter on my own.”
Rox tried to rush again, but made eye contact with me and stopped moving. Cynthia raised her hand as if she had something to say, then lowered it again and pursed her lips.
‘also’
You were right.
‘Brunhild, Master.’
I turned my head and looked at Brunhild over my shoulder. Even though we didn’t open our mouths to talk, we could read each other’s minds.
“Hahaha!”
Alfredo stroked his long beard and pointed at me.
“What are you going to do now that you’re here?”
“… “Isn’t the reason why you can be so picky with us now because of the god here?”
“yes.”
“Then we will do it this way.”
I planted my sword in the ground, placed my hands gently on it, and began to recite a spell.
This is a spell written in an ancient grimoire taken from Glazer’s warehouse. Magic created by a person who sought power comparable to the gods of the past.
‘Rune.’
The aura slowly flowed out from my right palm, spread across the ground in all directions, and took the form of tree branches.
The mana flowing down from the left palm spread along the branches of the auror and covered the surrounding area, creating the shape of a large tree.
Alfredo tilted his head as he looked at my order drawn at his feet.
“No way is this…” Yggdrasil?”
I smiled slightly at him.
“Alfredo, do you know the name of the person who sealed the god of this place a long time ago?”
“… I do not know.”
“Her name is Brunhild. “She is the ancestor of the Glazers and the true owner of this northern land.”
“?!”
“And the image of Yggdrasil that I have drawn here is the same spell that sealed the god in the past.”
Shhh!
My aura and mana spread across the snowy mountain for a moment, and the ground, which had been shaking greatly, slowly began to sink and become quiet.
Kurrrr.
As the water flowed, the divine force that had been spewing out through the cracks in the ground died down.
It was the moment to seal the so-called God of the North again.
‘It is perfect.’
Thanks to this, I was able to not only read Alfredo’s intentions, but also understand what the god of this place was.
‘Plus, I learned the secret of the tower.’
This trip was an opportunity to gain a lot of information that I had never expected, with far more benefits than losses.
After realizing that the situation had calmed down, I looked at Alfredo, who had been treating us triumphantly just a moment ago, and continued speaking.
“I think someone called me trash?”
Alfredo looked at me with a stern expression, his nostrils flaring, and then he looked into the distance with trembling eyes.
“Verdin, how was my performance so far?”
“performance?”
“Yes, just a moment ago I was avoiding the eyes of the apostles and was unable to speak. “It was my performance to show the past.”
“… … .”
“It seemed odd, right? “If I made a mistake, I would have been deceived by myself.”
Alfredo looked at me and continued speaking.
“Well, now that you know all the facts, the problem is solved! “I will find Timeless on my own, so Edward, let’s just give up and go back south.”
Kaang!
A sharp sound rose from Alfredo’s throat.
One is my Mysteltein, burning red and radiating heat. Another is an ice sword that emits cold energy from an unknown person wearing a white cloak.
“It’s been a while, Verdin.”
I gave him a small smile as I looked at him.
“I was going to go find it first, but thank you for coming in person.”
Glaser’s last lineage.
A tower dog that bit its owner and ran away.
“Edward, von Glaser.”
