Episode 188. A doll’s dream.
I had a long dream.
I don’t know exactly who they were, but two black shadows were running across the vast plain, smiling brightly.
‘Who are they that makes my heart beat so much?’
I didn’t know their identities until I woke up from the dream. All they could tell was the identity of the woman who was looking at them from afar and smiling.
‘Berdandi.’
my mother.
At the same time as I was aware of her presence, dark clouds suddenly filled the blue sky. Thunder poured from all directions and began chasing the two shadows.
Kwarung!
At that moment, Verdandi threw down his body to protect the two.
Doo doo doo doo.
“no.”
I, who had been quietly watching, came forward myself. After pulling out his sword and cutting through the plain, he blocked the thunder with his aura.
Kaaaang!
Burns were fired towards the dark clouds threatening them.
bang!
The clouds opened and a huge dragon’s head popped out from between them. A dragon of unimaginable size that I have never heard of or encountered before. One head was so enormous that it reminded me of Castle Strange, so I had no choice but to retreat in fear when I encountered it.
‘… no way.’
I couldn’t help but be surprised when I saw the white dragon’s head. Two yellow horns extend above his head, and the man standing between them is none other than the Apostle Ordin, the master of Ragnarok.
It appeared in the sky, glanced at me, gave a command to the dragon with a cold expression, and swallowed Verdandi and the two shadows.
Quang!
It happened so quickly that I couldn’t do anything about it. My body hesitated to fight out of fear, but my angry head wanted to jump out at him right now.
‘however.’
Even though he tried to move with all his strength, he didn’t lift a finger.
“Damn it.”
Now I have come to realize that everything in the world does not go as I want. That’s why humans like me have resisted heaven’s will since ancient times. And as time passed, this was the result I was able to produce now.
“Get out, Ordin.”
The purple sphere that began to swirl from my fingertips flew lightly and struck the white dragon’s head.
Quang!
You can do this even if your body doesn’t move. Not only that, but he was also able to memorize several ancient magics he had learned from Brunhild, such as making a giant earthworm’s tail made of dirt come out of the ground and wrap itself around the dragon’s body.
Quad deuk.
It was even possible to use a spell to suppress enemies by making snowflakes that could melt souls fall through the clouds.
Srurr.
As the snow created by my spell began to fall, the white dragon roared loudly and spit out Verdandi and the two shadows it had swallowed earlier.
At the same time, my eyes flashed and I woke up from my dream.
“Are you awake? Verdin.”
Cynthia grabbed my upper body and helped me up.
A gray fog filled her worried face, obscuring her vision not far away.
“Where am I?”
“Under the bridge.”
“Under the bridge?”
“Yes, behind the castle that Alfredo showed me. “It’s under the wooden bridge we crossed before going up the snowy mountain.”
According to Alfredo, isn’t it a place where the depth is unknown and where you will die if you fall?
‘Considering what he’s done so far, I don’t know if it’s a lie or not.’
I stood up, looked around, and asked her.
“Did I lose?”
“No, you won.”
“But why are you here?”
“I don’t know about that. Suddenly, an ice barrier appeared, preventing me from seeing you two fight… .”
Cynthia thought about something and shook her head before answering.
“Suddenly, Edward, that guy appeared through space and dropped you and us here.”
I don’t remember.
It seems like he stabbed the sword into his heart, but I have no idea what happened after that.
‘but.’
Everyone knew that I won. Because Edward personally told others that I had been defeated.
Rox appeared through the fog, squeezed my arms tightly, and smiled brightly.
“also.”
“What is it?”
“I thought you were dead, but you’re alive.”
“You’re alive?”
“I thought you were dead. “That wizard said he lost to you, but you were the one who lost his mind in the battle.”
“… I don’t remember anything about him either, so I have nothing to say. To be honest, I don’t know if he beat Edward or lost.”
“What does that mean?”
“I lost my mind first. “I mean, he had a chance to kill me.”
“yes?”
“Then why did you drop me here instead of killing me?”
There was no one who could give an answer to this. Only I can infer from my last conversation with him.
‘maybe.’

Isn’t this to keep the other apostles mentioned above in check, avoid their eyes, and allow me to meet the first Timeless?
That’s why you hid me here.
I thought about that and gathered my thoughts for a moment.
‘We have to go down south first.’
As Edward said, my original goal is to find Sister Valentine and go to Timeless.
‘but.’
The plans of the apostles obtained here through Alfredo and the existence of the so-called god who is currently sleeping on this earth could not be ignored.
Boom, boom, boom!
Yeti’s footsteps were heard.
I grabbed Cynthia and Rox by the back of their necks, hid myself behind a rock, and whispered.
“Shh, no battle until I recover. “I’ll let him go like this, so stay quiet.”
Cynthia and Rox nodded simultaneously.
The Yeti’s steps getting closer and closer made our hearts beat loudly.
Actually, if the three of us go out, we can take out one of them in an instant.
‘I don’t need food, and there’s no need to waste my stamina.’
It’s better to send it like this.
Moreover, all of the Yetis I had dealt with previously moved in groups.
If I kill that guy now, a friend from somewhere will definitely come here.
With that in mind, we quietly waited with bated breath for the Yeti to leave.
But the Yeti’s sense of smell was much better than I thought. The guy who was walking slowly turned his head towards us, and then he suddenly got an angry look on his face and started running towards us.
Thump thump thump!
“Keuuuuu!”
I pulled out the dagger tied to my back and gave orders to Cynthia and Rox.
“Operation change. I’ll get his attention, so you two see an opportunity here and tie his legs. Rox, when the hunt is over, bring the Yeti to us.”
Cynthia nodded, reciting a sacred spell. At the same time, Rox also had a conversation with his Bae Hu-ryeong and answered.
“Verdin, they say we can’t bring that monster back?”
“why?”
“They say that guy is already dead and being controlled by someone else.”
What do you mean, Yeti is already dead? Before I could ask a question, the yeti arrived and threw its body towards the rock.
bang!
The rock shattered and the fragments rained down on my head.
Toad deuk deuk.
‘Damn it.’
Of the three, I jumped out first and threw a dagger at the Yeti’s eyes.
Green onions!
“Aaaah!”
Even if you’re not smart, you can’t ignore its power, so cover your eyes first.
“Fireball.”
After burning the mana around the body through flame magic.
Grumble!
“Keuuk!”
I ran straight ahead and cut off the guy’s ankle.
Flutter!
Yeti lost his balance and fell backwards.
thud!
At the same time, Cynthia used the Holy Chain to tie Yeti’s body.
Sigh.
And then Rox ran up and hit the guy on the forehead with his mace.
grasp!
Completed stunning without killing.
‘… ‘Isn’t it?’
Coo!
The Yeti caught by us roared loudly and struggled.
“Keuuuuu!”
This attack was enough to take the breath away from the guys I caught earlier, but how was this guy able to not lose his mind even though his head was broken?
Another Yeti’s voice was heard from the direction the Yeti had walked.
“Big!”
He probably called a colleague.
“Let’s leave this guy behind,” I said, while Yetis hiding nearby appeared one by one.
Moreover, it was sticking out from both the front and the back, leaving us with nowhere to run.
‘Damn it.’
Was this the Yeti’s lair?
This is a fight that has started out of necessity, and we have found ourselves in an unavoidable dead end, so what should we do about it?
“Now that it’s like this, the only way is to fight.”
Cynthia and Rox also agreed with me. The dark gray fog impedes the flow of Aurors, making it difficult to accurately determine the number of enemies.
Still, if you aim for either the front or the back to create a path, it’s not a battle you can’t win.
I drew my sword not to fight to kill, but to fight for life.
“If I count to three, we will all go through that fog at the same time.”
Rox swallowed his saliva when he saw the five yetis approaching in a group.
“What if there are more monsters in there?”
“… Trust me.”
In my past life, I have experienced many battles like this where I was outnumbered.
Rox answered, gripping his mace tightly.
“okay.”
After this conversation, I slowly counted.
“one.”
As soon as I counted one, the Yetis that had been walking slowly from front and back picked up speed and started running.
“two.”
At the count of two, the Yetis closed the distance and took an aggressive stance, raising their arms above their heads.
“three.”
At the last count of three, they jumped high to catch us.
Pot!
“Now is the time.”
At the same time, I popped the bun over my head.
bang!
And then he sprinted towards the front.
Doo doo doo doo.
Again, again, again, again.
In the gray fog, an old goblin with white skin shouted, pounding the ground with his staff.
“Hey you guys!”
He had a dissatisfied look on his face, as if he was unhappy with the Yetis who had missed Verdin.
“I even breathed new life into my poor people. “Why do you miss people and such?”
When he clicked his tongue and pretended to hit them with his cane, the yetis cowered in fear and were breathing heavily.
-Hehe, hehe, hehe!
This is no different from a breeder handling pets.
The White Goblin pounded his chest with his fist in frustration, then stuck his staff into the head of one of the Yetis and shouted.
Kwasik!
“Chase them so they don’t get out of the canyon. “I don’t care if you kill me, so catch me anyway!”
The Yetis roared at the same time as if responding.
“Big!”
“Big!”
Dozens of Yetis ran through the canyon through the fog. Once they were out of sight, the White Goblin pulled his staff from the Yeti’s head.
Flutter.
He licked the green liquid on the tip with his tongue and smiled bitterly.
“I will make you regret ever entering the frost giant’s domain. “Minions of Baphomet.”
