Episode 89. Master piece.
“I will handle this matter myself.”
Matteo Ricci said as he knelt down on one knee in front of Saint Joan of Arc.
“Are you okay? “I heard that Castle Strange is a very dangerous place.”
She looked at Matteo Ricci with pitiful eyes.
Among the companions carrying out Apostle Baphomet’s mission, Freddie and Bonnie are in trouble.
In that case, there were only two people who could go south, and I couldn’t help but worry when they told me that they were leaving me behind in the Legion.
“Do not worry. Strange Castle is a place I’ve been to dozens of times in the past. “I know very well what level they are at.”
“is it so?”
“Yes, this is a problem I can solve alone. So, Joanna Arc, please hide yourself in a safe place with my men.”
“Are you sure you don’t mind if I don’t go with you?”
“sure.”
Matteo Ricci took out a white handkerchief from his arms and wrapped it around Joanna Arc’s wrist.
“handkerchief?”
“This is something I received from my loved one when I left my hometown. “It’s a symbol of my good luck.”
“Well, is it okay for you to give me something like that?”
“Yes, I’m thinking of leaving it for a while just in case I lose it. “If you have it, I’ll come back to get it.”
Joanna Arc looked at the white handkerchief wrapped around her wrist, then nodded slightly and answered.
“Are you coming soon?”
Matteo Ricci looked at her with a good smile.
“Let’s pick up some corn cookies, a southern specialty, on the way.”
“Corn cookies?! “I really like that!”
“Then I guess I’ll have to buy a lot.”
“Yes, I would appreciate it if you could do so. “Aren’t you overdoing things when you’re busy?”
“… No, I’m with Joanna Arc. “Of course we have to do this.”
Matteo Ricci bowed his head politely to show respect, then left the room and continued speaking in a low voice.
“If I happen to be late. And if Strange’s soldiers try to find us.”
“… … .”
“Please lightly pat the head of that doll Bonnie gave you.”

The direction of the wind changed.
The wind coming through the window is refreshing. This was so clear that it would not be surprising to see it as a declaration of war against Strange.
‘That’s fun.’
No matter how angry I am, this is the first time I’ve ever attacked Strange like that.
‘You got caught.’
The enemy clearly knows our strength. In order to catch them off guard, they attack the enemy with the minimum number of troops.
In this battle, damage must be minimized. It’s a fight that will end if you just grab the head anyway.
‘and.’
In the grand scheme of things, it is not a problem that will end even if you simply defeat them.
Not only are there more than one person involved in this incident, but the Imperial Army, the Papal Office, and even the Apostles of the Tower are involved.
In order to unravel the twisted threads of the incident, we have to deal with them one by one.
‘The guys who came to Castle Strange now are the beginning of the first string.’
“Hmm.”
I shook my head.
‘Anyway, isn’t this too bold?’
They did not hide their spirit to the extent that they could count the number of enemies.
I don’t know who is leading them now, but since I know my father’s condition, it could turn out that way.
“Rox, get ready.”
Rox held his mace tightly and looked out the window.
“I can’t feel anything yet?”
“Seventy, no, eighty. At least eighty will arrive first. “If you were to compare the size of its power to a monster, it would be roughly equivalent to a troll.”
“troll? “That strong?”
“Yes, so don’t let your guard down.”
“… No, regardless of whether you let your guard down or not, if 80 guys as strong as trolls attack you at the same time. “I can’t stop it with my own abilities?”
I answered while looking into the forest outside Castle Strange.
“You just have to deal with as much as possible. “If you enter the castle anyway, Cynthia, Alfredo, and Strange’s guardian knights will stop the enemies.”
“Okay, but you can’t use giants, right?”
“of course. Are you planning to destroy the castle?”
“No, no, that’s not it. I thought it could be dangerous… .”
“Rox, didn’t I tell you? Don’t imagine your enemy before you even fight. That’s a really bad habit. “The fear of the battlefield is growing.”
Rox frowned as he looked at Pierrot above his head.
“That guy said I was dangerous. “The guy I have to deal with this time is definitely stronger than me.”
“What will you do if you are strong, and what will you do if you are weak? “If you feel like you can’t win, are you going to run away?”
“no!”
“Listen carefully. “If the enemy is stronger than me, the battlefield is about finding a way to win accordingly.”
“… huh.”
“In war, being weak does not necessarily mean defeat. Being strong doesn’t always mean you win. “There may be variables that no one could predict.”
Rocks’ Pierrot Bae Hu-ryeong danced with a humorous expression. I think he already understood what I wanted to say.

Of course, this guy didn’t understand either.
“So you’re saying fight whether you win or lose?”
Well, it’s not wrong.
“okay.”
Just understand it that way.
“good… . Anyway, if I’m with you, it’s obvious that I’ll win no matter who I fight. “I will trust you and stop them.”
I nodded slightly. Rox went out to the castle gate to stop the enemy with a small smile on his face.
And soon, dozens of animal soldiers appeared from the forest, and the black-haired old man controlling them was caught in my sight.
‘It’s him.’
He is the head of those currently called the Five Stars, and a force to be reckoned with who tried to devour Strange along with Monestier.
‘… ‘Come.’
He is a good partner to test who I am now.
Quang!
A loud noise was heard from the entrance of the castle.
As soon as the enemy animal soldiers arrived, black smoke rose, creating an impact so strong that the steel door was crumpled and blown away.
“Kill everyone in the city, leaving no one behind. Everyone, including children, the elderly, and women. “There is no mercy in Strange!”
The animal soldiers ran while shouting at the same time.
-Uuuuuu!
Rox took out the insect puppet brought from the tower and fought back.
“I wonder if I can endure it.”
It seemed that we were far ahead in numbers, but when the battle began, the enemy’s animal soldiers crushed the insect army.
The difference in skill is so overwhelming that you can’t even dream of counterattacking.
Rox was taken aback by their momentum, but instead of retreating, he jumped into the battlefield and took on the enemy.
“Everyone come in, you bastards!”
* * *
The entrance to Strange Castle, which was in chaos due to the battle.
Taking advantage of Rox’s frantic fighting, enemy commander Matteo Ricci entered the castle grounds.
Doo doo doo doo-
He waved a large brush in the air without stopping the entire time he searched for Lois in Castle Strange.
The animal soldiers that appeared each time began to disperse and determine the enemy’s location.
Soon, Strange’s current matriarch, Lois, was located.
“… “I will definitely finish it this time.”
He let his guard down even though he knew he shouldn’t have done so in the previous battle. He was unable to properly finish his battle against Royce, who was said to be the strongest swordsman on the continent.
Is it because he thinks he is a colleague who brought glory to him in the past? Or did he really give up after failing to deal with the guardian spirit protecting him?
Only Matteo Ricci may know the answer to this, but it cannot change the fact that the plan at the tower has already failed.
So Matteo Ricci made the move himself.
To make up for your own mistakes.
“Don’t let anyone enter the room until I kill Lois.”
Two massive bulls answered, filling their spears with aura.
sssss-.
“Yes, my lord.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Matteo Ricci entered the training hall alone. The door was already open, so there was no need to be very alert at the entrance.
The only direction his eyes are directed towards is the Strange matriarch sitting on a golden throne in the center of the training hall.
Lois de Strange.
He was staring at the front where Matteo Ricci came in with intense eyes.
“You’re really alive, Lois.”
There was no answer.
There was only silence as cold as the wind blowing from the north.
Again, again, again, again.
Matteo Ricci was nervous as he walked towards Royce, as if he was walking on a knife edge.
There are a total of four people that I can feel in here right now, and only two of them are in sight.
“Welcome, I heard you made my father like this, so I really wanted to meet you. “It’s an honor to meet you.”
Verdin appeared from behind Lois. Matteo Ricci was not surprised because he already knew his location.
I’m just concerned about his attitude and calmness, as if he knows he’s coming here.
“You are Verdin.”
“Do you know me?”
“Yes, I’ve heard a lot about it.”
“To whom?”
“… “Here and there.”
Verdin smiled lightly as if his answer was funny.
“okay.”
“Do you know who I am?”
“They said he was the head of an organization called Pentagram, which formed a party with Baron Monestier.”
Matteo Ricci shrugged his eyebrows.
‘It’s pretty good.’
How on earth did you find out about my identity? It’s been less than a week since they started this operation.
In the meantime, it would not have been easy to obtain information about Omangseong.
He continued the conversation with doubts.
“How did you get Lois out of the tower?”
“Well, I guess you’ll have to find out for yourself.”
“upstart.”
“I will take it as a compliment.”
“… Today, I will not only take your father, but also your neck.”
Verdin stretched out his hand towards Matteo Ricci, lightly flicked his index finger and said.
“If I can.”
There is no negotiation.
One of them dies.
No, to be exact, it would be four or one out of five.
Pot!
Matteo Ricci started running towards Verdin. A huge brush rotating rapidly above his head created a small whirlpool of black aura.
Easy profit-
“Kid, no matter how crazy talented you are. Battlefield experience cannot be ignored.”
Coo coo coo coo!
The ceiling shook as if it would collapse due to the strong winds created by the whirlpool, and a large crack appeared in the wall as if it would break at any moment.
Kwazizig.
“So I prepared.”
“… what?”
“Someone who has experienced the battlefield at the same level as you.”
bang!
The ceiling collapsed, revealing a muscular old man with brown hair.
“It’s been a while, Matteo Ricci!”
Matteo Ricci looked up in surprise.
“B-Beratir?!”
It was an instant.
Veratir suddenly appeared and threw himself into Matteo Ricci’s whirlpool.
“I’m sorry to say this after seeing you for so long.”
He went straight through the eyes of the whirlpool and swung his fist at Matteo Ricci.
Boom-
“I need to die.”
Wow!
