Episode 229. Cogwheel.
A dragon is a being that cannot be controlled by human power.
Just as the early humans who dealt with dragons wrote it down a long time ago, when civilization began on this continent.
‘But the guy in front of me right now is not a real dragon.’
At this level, I should be able to break it with my own strength.
Brunhild looked at Theresa in the carriage through the swirling snowstorm, then bit his lip and shook his head.
‘late.’
If you leave it like that, you will definitely die. The wound that penetrated the heart was wide and deep, and the bleeding continued for too long.
‘If it were an ordinary person, it would be safe to assume that he was already dead.’
This is an area that cannot be saved through human power. In that case, the only way is to find someone with special abilities who can overcome this situation.
‘Even if we leave for the Legion right now, there is no guarantee that we will arrive alive.’
In this brief moment, Brunhild found a way to cope. Rather than her knowledge, she was closer to her wisdom as she had lived for so many years. A way that only she can do on this continent.
“I can’t help it.”
Brunhild let out a long sigh and stretched out his palm in Theresia’s direction.
‘Just sleep for a while, Verdin will wake you up soon.’
Her eyes flashed, and the cold radiating from her palm froze Theresa’s body.
Cynthia was startled and tried to rush at her, but Brunhild blocked them by creating a wall of ice between them with his cold eyes.
Kugoogung!
“Theresia is alive. “I will take care of those guys, so you can drive the carriage and head to the Legion.”
Cynthia turned her gaze, glanced at the torn carriage, and answered.
“Who are you?”
“You don’t need to know who I am. “You are helping Verdin at his request, so don’t say unnecessary things and move quickly.”
Cynthia is smart.
Otherwise, she would not have been able to become one of the captains of the Pope’s Holy Knights in this era with the body of a woman. As Brunhild expected, Cynthia quickly assessed the situation and began to move.
Without any hesitation, I got into the carriage and grabbed the reins of the horse.
“If we’re meant to be, let’s meet again.”
“Okay, so go quickly. When you arrive, tell Verdin about that guy.”
With these words, the carriage started running. A dwarf and a large man among her Numbers, Albus’ subordinates, ran to try to stop her.
The chill that extended from beneath Brunhild’s shoes froze their bodies.
“this… “What is this? My feet are all frozen and I can’t move. Number two!”
“Damn it, I think she used magic. First, use your strength and try to break it!”
The two Numbers with the highest numbers struggled, but it was not enough to shake off Brunhild’s magic.
Well, to those who use magic, how great would the skills of someone who is close to the creator and possesses demonic blood be?
It’s not at a level that a human can compete with even if they only know how to use one or two artificial abilities.
Brunhild looked at the departing carriage and breathed a sigh of relief.
“This is it for now.”
He then raised his head to see the dragon’s face visible through the dark clouds, and showed his fierceness while holding a spear made of mana in both hands.
‘That guy is not normal.’
They showed a completely different type of power than the two who had previously targeted the carriage. If we were to evaluate their strength in numbers, dwarves and large men would be 50 or 60 out of 100.
Anyone who takes on the form of a dragon will exceed 90, no matter how low you put it, or well over 100, which they think is the maximum.
This number was an evaluation of herself as 100, so she looked down and went into the decisive battle with the thought that she might be defeated by the enemy.
“One step first.”
Brunhild shot the ice spear held in his left hand into the sky. At the same time, the blizzard spun rapidly, splitting the flames and clearing the way for the dragon’s face to shine through.
As the spear hit the dragon’s face, the heat and cold strongly pushed each other away, creating a roar.
Due to this impact, the ground shook greatly and the two stranded Numbers lost their balance and fell.
“ah… . no. “If you make Number One angry, everyone will die.”
“That’s right, you crazy woman! I’ll spare your life, so stop fighting right now and get out of here. “Or we’ll die too!”
What on earth are they so afraid of? Brunhild did not know the reason for this until the person in dragon form revealed his entire appearance.
Of course, a few seconds later, I was able to understand their actions when I saw the black dragon, which had withstood its magic, parted the dark clouds and flew to the ground with the sun shining intensely.
“What is that… ?”
Brunhild’s eyes trembled greatly. The creature that appeared through her clouds looked very different from what she expected.
When I saw the face, I naturally thought it was a dragon, but the person in front of Brunhild now has the face of a lizard and the body of a human. Moreover, the four black and red wings on its back were no different from those of a devil.
‘No way, that guy.’
A new apostle chosen by TOP and one who has been given the highest number, ‘1’.
A strange creature with an indefinable appearance looked down at Brunhild.
“I am Dominic, an apostle reborn by Ordin and leader of the Knights of God. “I descended here to deal with Verdin and the demons that follow him.”
Brunhild frowned when he saw that he was similar in size to the giant Nord.
“I think the devil is you, not Verdin.”
“You can’t believe you call such a holy figure created by Ordin himself a devil. “It is safe to say that you are also a heretic.”
“You are talking nonsense. “You can’t believe you call a wizard who has no connection with God a pagan.”
“God has mercy on all who overcome trials. “The same goes for those of you who are called wizards.”
“okay? Then can you tell me where the God you are talking about is? “If you get the chance, try taking on that ordeal you mentioned.”
Dominic exhaled strong flames from his large nostrils and answered in a subdued voice.
“God exists everywhere in this world. “He’s looking at you right here too.”
“Bloody hell, such a great guy wants humanity to perish? “What are you so afraid of?”
“If they are truly destroyed, it is not because God is afraid of humans, but because they have not survived the ordeal.”
“Because he gives everyone equal opportunities.”
“It’s equal.”

“Okay, so I admit that you too can’t escape your predetermined fate. “Go through the ordeal while accepting the destruction of humanity as soon as possible.”
“It is the only way to survive the coming judgment. “The first wizard, the demon Brunhild.”
The carriage with Cynthia, Theresia, and my brother Ronnie arrived at Legion.
Theresia is frozen by Brunhild’s magic, and Ronnie is drunk and can’t come to his senses.
And Cynthia, wearing tattered armor as if she had been in a battle with someone.
Of the three, Cynthia was the only one who could talk.
“What happened?”
She explained what she had experienced earlier. I couldn’t tell him about the sudden ambush in the royal capital and the situation I couldn’t talk about because I couldn’t contact Rox.
And even the fact that he was ambushed by the enemy on his way back to the Legion with the help of Kangrada and Kangrat.
“So, does this mean that one of Albus’ subordinates, Numbers, became an apostle?”
“That’s right, I once received the power of an apostle from the Legion. There was a knight with the same blood as you. “It looked just like him.”
Cynthia answered, recalling Numbers’ face seen through the dark clouds.
However, these answers actually confused me.
Baphomet, who split from Ordin, could not create a new apostle, and the number of apostles set by Bor had already reached its limit.
‘Who on earth could do something like this?’
Ordin, who has not yet reached the top of the tower, does not have such power. Amon, the secretary of the tower, also cannot interfere with matters related to the coming of the Apostles.
There was only one conclusion I could come to now. The dragon Cynthia said she saw was not an apostle, but Albus’ test subject.
Unlike the modified monsters Philip creates, these are probably creatures created with abilities I don’t know about.
These abilities must have been given to him by Amon. Since it is impossible to create a new apostle, the abilities of those who passed before were given to Albus.
I don’t know what kind of results Amon’s move will have in the future. If I were to judge it calmly, it seemed like nothing more than a hasty attempt to block my plan.
Because their plan went in the wrong direction from the beginning. Just as if one of the many gears that move a clock is missing, it will not function properly.
Now their plans are also ruined by one unexpected and very small event: Timeless’s betrayal.
“Okay, then let’s move Theresia to a safe place first. “Let’s execute the next strategy.”
While Verdin and Cynthia were away with their colleagues, two apostles appeared outside the tower.
Of the two, the one who set foot in the Legion first was Goblin Champion Gregory.
“I will take care of the monsters around here, so you go straight to the capital and deal with that guy named Albus.”
The Lord of the Jungle, Dead Lord, who followed behind him, took ten steps forward and looked up at the tower and answered.
“yes. “Even if we can’t repay the favor, we must take revenge.”
“Haha, it’s really fun if you think about it, right? “Who knew that you and I would hold hands and move together?”
“This is also something that God has ordained. So, punish the traitor with a grateful heart.”
“I know, I know. But I didn’t know you would be this active. I knew that Ordin and Amon had a grudge, but… .”
Gregory continued, shrugging his eyebrows with a sinister expression.
“I never thought he would ask me to come out of the tower as soon as I made a decision.”
Dead Lord responded by drawing a small sign of the cross on his forehead.
“Now that His will has come down, there is no need to delay.”
“But Baphomet didn’t lie, right?”
“That can’t be possible. “The man next to him now, named Bergin, has the soul of a god.”
“Do not doubt Him. Just follow your will.”
After saying these words, the two lightly pounded each other’s fists and then began to disperse and move towards the north and south.
