Episode 187. A doll’s dream.
I thought the same thing in my past life, but fate was truly a series of unpredictable events.
Before I came north, I thought I was on the hunting side, but now that I came to understand the whole situation, I found out that I was on the opposite side.
‘Baphomet.’
When I thought I had figured out what this guy was planning, two stories that I didn’t know about until now came out.
“You mean Baphomet guided you here?”
Kigi geek.
Edward and I continued our conversation while pointing our swords at each other.
“Yeah, if you’re smart enough, you can figure out what’s going on just by the fact that he sent me.”
How could you not know?
Just think about what benefit he can gain by meeting me and Edward here, and you will find the answer.
“Since when have you been with Baphomet?”
“After the day I was defeated by you.”
“So you’re saying that you joined hands with that guy as soon as you got to the tower?”
“yes. No, maybe it was earlier than that. “Because he was conveying his thoughts to me through someone else’s mouth.”
“… So you’re saying she was in touch with him even before she became an apostle?”
“You could say so. You don’t know, but maybe you do too. “That guy was closer than I thought.”
I also kept him close. She just didn’t notice him as he was partying with Cynthia.
‘what.’
All of this was planned by Baphomet, and nothing will change even if you fight Edward here.
I will kill him today and return south, and then Baphomet will have no choice but to tell me the location of the Timeless.
‘yes.’
Everything with him is done through a contract, so if he doesn’t want to be restricted, he has no choice but to follow his promise.
Edward slowly removed the ice sword that was facing me and stepped back.
Sigh.
“Verdin, let’s end this now.”
“It’s good. “I was thinking that this moment would come someday.”
“Do you still hate Glazer?”
“No, we are the ones who won the war, so that can’t be possible.”
“Then that’s a relief. Today’s fight is not between Strange and Glazer. Because the fight between the knight and the prosecutor allowed him to remain.”
Edward smiled lightly and winked at me. Unknown emotions began to boil within his meaningful smile.
‘what?’
When he lightly tapped the ground with his index finger, a spear of ice projected like a crystal came out from under Alfredo’s feet and stabbed him in the abdomen.
Flutter!
“Huh!”
Alfredo groaned and fell backwards.
Cooung.
Edward continued to pour ice spear blades at his body, which was unable to fight back. Alfredo’s body, which stopped breathing in just a few tens of seconds, was stained with red blood.
dump.
As his head hit the ground, Edward turned and looked at me.
“I think it would be better to reduce Baphomet’s eyes.”
“… Wasn’t Alfredo on the same side as you? “He was moving under orders from Baphomet.”
“Where can guys like us be on the same side of the battlefield? “We just had the same purpose for a while.”
“Are you saying that even if you won’t be able to be with them in the future, you’ll be satisfied with fighting with me?”
“That could be possible. Try to find out the answer to that yourself. “The only thing I have with you now is fighting.”
A fight that concludes the long history of Strange and Glaser. No, it should be said that it is the fight between Verdin and Edward that he wants.
‘… okay.’
The family fight is already over.
All that’s left for us now is a battle to find out which of the two is stronger.
Thump thump thump!
It was then.
Yeti’s movements were captured not far away. Just looking at the momentum it felt, it seemed like it was at least dozens, so even if the two of us faced it together, it would not be an easy number.
“Shall we change places?”
I suggested it first.
However, Edward paid no heed and used magic to build an ice wall.
Kwazik, kwazizizik!
“There is no need for that. Baphomet is in charge of this fight anyway, so he will take care of those guys.”
“Baphomet gets rid of the Yeti?”
“Okay, so don’t worry about the other guys and focus on fighting me.”
“… … .”
“If you don’t want to die, fight as hard as you can. Now I am an apostle, not a human. “I will never be weak.”
We glared at each other.
My red sword radiated aura, and his blue sword oozed mana and looked threatening. It’s as if the tiger and the dragon are anxious because they can’t eat each other.
Qarring!
Thunder rumbled in the sky.
With this signal as the starting point, we began the battle, exchanging countless blows.
Kang, Kang, Kang!
‘That’s interesting.’

You’re using a sword against me.
Not only that, Edward showed exceptional swordsmanship. He was able to trade blows with me, who was called the Sword King in his past life, which means he is at least at the level of a 7-star knight or higher.
‘It’s awesome.’
It was truly surprising.
I never thought I would have that level of swordsmanship just because I was a wizard and became an apostle.
‘then.’
How great of a swordsman did Monestier, who joined hands with Baphomet after becoming an apostle, become?
Rather than feeling fear or anxiety about enemies who were stronger than in the past, I was happy about how superior the people I would face in the future were and that I could become stronger if I surpassed them.
‘Maybe I’ll have even better swordsmanship than before.’
Unlike the days when there were no enemies, there is a foundation for growth.
Kaang!
Edward, who had been fighting for a while, hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head towards me and spoke.
“Verdin, my name is Edward von Glaser.”
“Know.”
“His previous name was Edward de Rothschild.”
“Loss… . Child?”
“Do you know where I was born?”
I couldn’t answer his question.
As soon as I heard that he was from the Rothschild family, my mind seemed frozen and nothing came to mind.
‘Edward was a Rothschild.’
So does this mean that Glaser, like our Strange, also exchanged children with Rothschild?
“You don’t know. “I also didn’t know about this until I heard about it from Baphomet.”
“I guess what’s more important now is not where you were born, but where you’ll die?”
“Well, that’s not wrong either. But you must know where I was born.”
“I?”
“… Okay, I don’t know where it started to go wrong. “Because you are the only one who can put an end to this long story.”
“It’s coming to an end?”
Edward instantly threw his ice sword over his head, spread his arms out, and started running towards me.
Doo doo doo doo.
‘Is it magic?’
no.
The body was not covered with mana.
I’m not asking you to kill me, but you’re attacking me defenseless like that. It doesn’t look like there’s anything special about it as armor.
I kept his magic in check just in case, and waited for him to come within range of my sword.
“You idiot.”
Then, the moment Edward came into my street.
Flutter!
The razor-blue blade pierced his heart. I looked at his shaking eyes and looked around.
There is no way the fight with the apostles will end this easily. I also didn’t understand his movements, as if he was losing on purpose.
It would have been easier to subdue me if I had just kept a distance and used magic, so what was the reason for trying to fight so close to the swordsman?
There is something I don’t know.
The curiosity about this was answered the moment Edward opened his mouth. He smiled, holding the blood-soaked blade with both hands.
“The place I was born in is Strange. And my real name is Edward de Strange.”
“?!”
“No, I heard that his name back then was not Edward. “Jin, the name my real mother gave me in the elven language.”
“jin?”
“… Yes, Vergin. My real name is Bergine de Strange. “I think you know more about this name than I do.”
Suddenly, various memories started swirling in my head. At the same time, her vision became dark and her mind became faint.
‘No, that can’t be possible.’
The name Berjin means ‘light’ in the elven language, and Jin means ‘God’s grace’ in the human language.
A name I chose in the hope that his birth would bring grace to Alfheim, the hometown of my mother, Verdandi.
‘furthermore.’
My twin was said to be a girl, not a boy. The information obtained from the Archbishop through this raid on the Papal Palace was certain.
‘not only.’
Edward is much older than me. The story that he is my twin doesn’t make sense.
‘however… .’
Why can I see my father reflected in Edward’s face in my blurred vision?
dump.
My entire body lost strength and I unconsciously put my knees on the ground. Edward gently stroked my cheek and whispered in my ear.
“I don’t have time to explain everything right now. “I have relayed the location of the real Timeless to Valentine, so head to the World Tree.”
“… … .”
“Make sure you hear the whole truth there.”
With these words, Edward pulled out the sword stuck in his chest.
Flutter.
He grabbed me by the collar and threw me at the bottom of the snowy mountain, towards a place called the Bridge of Death.
grasp!
On top of the Yeti corpses piled up like a mountain, Baphomet, who had taken the form of Judas, let out a long sigh.
Phew-.
“So you’re saying you missed Verdin?”
Edward, whose chest was stained with blood, answered by blocking the wound with ice magic.
“okay.”
“I’m disappointed. “I thought you could beat him easily.”
“I can’t help it. “If I had known it would be like this, it would have been better to call Monestier.”
“… He hasn’t come out of the tower yet. “I think the owner of the tower noticed our movements.”
“No way? “I heard that Ordin is also unable to reach the top of the tower.”
“I guess I borrowed Amon’s mouth.”
“Amon?”
“Yes, because he can communicate with the owner of the tower through the world.”
“You’re talking through the world?”
Clap clap clap!
The sound of clapping hands was heard from somewhere.
Baphomet and Edward turned their heads at the same time.
Where their eyes were directed, Amon, the tower’s secretary, was floating in the air, emitting a menacing, murderous spirit.
“According to the orders of the Holy One, we will eradicate Baphomet and Edward, the two apostles who betrayed the Tower at this time.”
Qarring!
