Episode 82. Muspelheim.
“We will never attack someone who has no hostility.”
This was confirmed through hysteria in a past life.
The guardian spirit who protects his father only responds to those who try to harm him.
Even if I pull out the sword stuck in his body right now, it’s as if he doesn’t react at all.
Flutter.
I removed the swords from my father’s body one by one. Each time, Theresia healed his wounds by memorizing a recovery spell, and it seemed as if his strength returned little by little each time his wounds were healed.
‘of course.’
It was a temporary phenomenon.
My body just recovered, but my energy was the same.
“It seems like there is something wrong with Sir Lois’ body. “I tried to restore his strength, but my spells don’t work.”
What on earth is making my father so weak? I didn’t find out the reason until I left the castle. If it had been a plague or a curse, it would have been washed away by Theresia’s holy spell, but no matter what spell I recited, there was no response.
‘then.’
There is a high probability that this is someone’s ability.
It can’t be solved right now.
However, it was not that there was no way.
First, let’s go back to the castle.
There will definitely be someone among the enemy who has information about this.
“Could you please take my father to the boat?”
Beth carried her father on her back and went to the boat.
Since I couldn’t share with others how to approach my father, I had no choice but to ask someone I trusted.
‘I can’t help it.’
Because my body was too small right now to carry my father.
At the same time, he gave orders to his knights and prepared to set sail.
If you come with us now, you can get out of the tower faster than the enemy.
That means you can wait for the enemy outside the tower in advance.
‘of course.’
I’m not trying to take revenge right away.
Just to figure out the number of enemies and who is targeting us.
If he could take on his father, he would definitely be an incredibly strong person.
If you rush in, you may end up losing.
So let’s be careful and come up with a strategy to deal with them.
Beth had the same thoughts as me.
“I will try to gather their information during my stay in the Legion. “Those who are skilled enough to target the head of the family must be famous adventurers.”
After all the preparations were made, it was time to set sail.
Rox has captured the five remaining enemies on the island.
We said it was okay to kill him, but he was brought to us alive.
“How about interrogating these guys? “I think I know something.”
It wasn’t a bad offer.
In fact, a low-level soldier who would leave behind on the island may not have any useful information, but it is still better than nothing.
“Please save me. “I will say anything if you give me my life!”
One of the five jumped forward and bowed.
The tomato-like body with a protruding belly and the long brown beard reminded me of a northern dwarf.
I took a dagger from my belt and approached him.
“name.”
“yes?”
“What is your name?”
“Oh, yes. “This is Gordon.”
“Yes, Gordon. “You said you’d tell me anything if you let me live, right?”
“yes.”
“Then let me ask you a few questions. “Who on earth was the person who targeted the owner of that castle?”
Gordon hesitated.
I said without any delay, thrusting the blade into his side.
“If you don’t want to talk, you don’t have to.”
“Oh, no! Well, it’s not that I don’t know his name… .”
“You mean you don’t know the name of the one who gave you orders?”
“that… “That’s right.”
Of course, I’m going to perform a major coup, but I won’t reveal my name to the low-ranking soldiers.
It’s the same as leaving your trace behind in the enemy’s territory.
“Then die.”
“Now, just a moment!”
“why?”
“Even if I don’t know your name. “I know how to meet them.”
I rested my chin with an interested expression.
“how?”
“They said they were coming to get us.”
“They’re coming to get you?”
“Yes, the ship I was on was destroyed during the battle, so I only had to go back halfway. “Those who went first decided to come and pick up the rest.”

“Is there anyone else left on this island other than the five who are here now?”
Gordon nodded deeply.
“yes! “There are ten people in total.”
“Ten people.”
It’s not a lot.
But they won’t come back here for the low-ranking soldiers. Without going crazy, would you risk returning to the battlefield?
“Do you think they will come back?”
“… Maybe. “Among those with us is Knight Strange.”
“There’s Strange’s knight?”
“Yes, I heard from the conversation with the person who brought me that he was the guard captain.”
Beth came next to us, emitting an aura. His face was full of anger.
“Why is he with you?”
Gordon’s lips trembled with a frightened expression.
“Hey, come with us… . “Because you carried out this operation?”
“Strange’s guard captain. “We carried out an operation together with you?”
“Oh, yes, that’s right!”
“If that is true, I will spare you.”
“Go, thank you!”
“Okay, lead us to where he is instead.”
“Now?”
Beth hit Gordon on the back of the head with her palm.
slap!
“Don’t make me say it twice. If I were to ask you to say the same thing again. This time it will be the sword, not the hand.”
* * *
We followed Gordon’s guidance and arrived at the other side of the island.
There were really five knights belonging to Strange and four people who appeared to be porters.
‘Did they really betray my father?’
I heard that these are comrades who have been on the battlefield with my father since they were young.
‘For what?’
Did he abandon Strange, who could have all the fame and wealth, and join hands with someone else?
Beth couldn’t bear it anymore and pulled out her sword. Gordon noticed me and came close next to me.
I whispered softly as I looked at the black armored guard captains gathered on the beach.
“We will capture the guard captain alive.”
Beth answered as if she was going to jump out at any moment.
“Is that possible?”
“If Beth takes care of others besides the guard captain, we will be able to finish it without difficulty.”
“Young master, you must not underestimate the guard captain too much. “Most of them are 6-star knights, and their experience on the battlefield so far cannot be ignored.”
I know.
I’ve dealt with it in the past. So he was confident in this battle. Because I can be sure that they are weaker than me.
“Trust me.”
After saying these words, I hit the ground first and left.
Pot!
When he appeared with an explosion of aura, the guard captain, who was watching from afar in the sea, pulled out his sword in embarrassment.
Shaak.
“W-what!”
One of the knights recognized my face and shouted.
“It’s Master Verdin!”
At the same time he was making his voice heard.
Flutter!
Beth’s sword penetrated the back of the knight who shouted my name, and protruded toward his chest.
“Huh… .”
A blow powerful enough to tear through armor. The guard captain’s eyes were fixed on Beth’s angry sword strike.
“Beth?!”
The guard captain made a mistake.
This was a battlefield, and his opponent was me. It was a split second, but I disappeared from sight.
And by the time he noticed my presence, the game was already over.
Sigh.
The tip of my sword stopped right in front of the guard captain’s uvula.
“If you show even the slightest bit of energy or try to move, I will cut off your head.”
There was no one who resisted.
Strange’s knights raised their hands and feet and surrendered. Those who appeared to be porters who were with them were so frightened that they could not even raise their heads.
‘Are they really betrayed? He surrendered so obediently that it made me wonder.’
I brought everyone to the boat and set sail, saying to Beth:
“Beth, I will interrogate these people myself. “I have an expert in my party.”
Theresia held up the whip with a shy smile.
slap!
“If you don’t speak quickly…” . Will it hurt a little?”
* * *
Lois was never weak.
Even if he got sick, he not only annihilated most of the enemies, but also fatally wounded the captain-level adventurers who led them.
“Damn… .”
Matteo Ricci, the black-haired old man who had faced Royce head-on, was shocked as he looked at his severed left arm.
He never let down his guard.
He was a person whose skills were proven enough to lead Omangseong, where Monestier disappeared.
‘but.’
The opponent was too strong.
Bonnie and Freddie, who followed him and attacked Lois, were also seriously injured and unable to move.
“it’s crazy! “All my dolls were smashed!”
“Your doll was smashed, right? I feel like my whole body has been shattered! “All my limbs are not moving!”
Matteo Ricci smiled bitterly as he looked at them. How could it not be funny to see these guys, who were so confident before the fight, shouting that they were going to die after only half a day?
Slurp.
Joanna Arc said as she wrapped Matteo Ricci’s severed arm in cloth.
“I cannot attach the parts that have been separated from the body with my own strength. Just be patient for a little while until we leave the tower.”
“Thank you for your concern. I will not forget this grace. “If it weren’t for Joanna, we would all have died.”
“He said, ‘If you seek death, you will not die. “They want to die, but death will escape them.”
“Are you saying that death has escaped us?”
“Yes, everyone would still be alive even if I wasn’t there.”
Matteo Ricci scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed expression.
“okay. still… . “I feel reassured that Joanna Acre is by my side.”
“Thank you for saying that. “The only thing I know how to do is a few healing spells, so I was worried that I might get in trouble with you.”
“It can’t be!”
Bonnie asked, holding two broken dolls with a tearful expression on her face.
“Joanna, is it possible that my doll won’t recover? “I think it will take a month to recover this with my mana!”
Not to be outdone, Freddie took off his bandages and showed his elbows and knees.
“I am completely healed, but why am I in pain? “It feels like a broken bone and the pain doesn’t go away!”
Joanna Arc looked at the two in turn and then answered quietly.
“Because the doll is not a living creature, recovery spells do not work. The reason why Freddy is sick is because he is undead and receives healing magic, but the pain does not go away.”
Matteo Ricci shouted, swinging a brush with his free arm.
“When you come down from the tower, you have to go straight to get Verdin’s head. “Both of you, stop being stupid and go back to your seats and get some rest.”
