The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 501
Academy’S Weapon Replicator 501
Chapter 136: Eclexis
Originally, Aster planned to travel by boat.
Naturally, Aster is a pure swordsman, so he has almost no achievements in magic. Something like ‘flight’ is out of the question.
Renzo can do things similar to flying without using flight magic, but that’s just because he’s Renzo.
So, after Aster reported the situation to the imperial palace as a professional, he planned to cross the sea on a large ship that could overcome the seas between continents. In fact, the imperial palace, which knew the Zodiac’s situation, was also preparing for this.
The plan happened three steps after Aster took his spear and shield.
“Sleep… Kahn.”
A voice came from behind Aster.
‘… Divine power!’
Aster felt that strange feeling and hurriedly turned around.
Ludovic suddenly opened his eyes and was looking at him.
‘… Uh? ‘It’s not Apollo.’
For a moment, Aster thought it was Apollo.
But her eyes are different.
Ludovic is back.
She was reassured by him, Aster said.
“Your body was fighting a moment ago. There will be fatigue. Rest.”
“That goes for you too.”
Ludovic slowly stood up.
Although my body was heavy, it seemed more like drowsiness after a long sleep than from fatigue.
“Apollo completely healed my body. “There’s nothing to worry about.”
“… “It looks like it.”
In fact, Ludovic felt very good about herself now. Even if she had been cured by Apollo, the mental damage and exhaustion from her possession would have remained.
Her reason was simple.
“My eyes were opened.”
“…”
“After being possessed, I knew for sure. “I’m telling you how pathetic and disgraceful I have been.”
Ludovic suffered from guilt.
It may have been unavoidable, but it was something no one, not even Ludovic himself, wanted.
Everyone waited and expected him to stand up again.
However, his god, who had given him divine power, could not endure and took over his body.
“I will take you there. “It’s too late for a boat.”
“… Mr. Ludovic, can you fly?”
“There’s nothing the Zodiac can’t do.”
Aster’s eyes widened at that. There is nothing they can’t do, so the Zodiac is truly amazing. He had a face like that.
“Now, get on your back.”
“…”
Ludovic turned his body and bent his knees. I even tilted Aster’s body to make it easier for him to carry me on my back.
“… “I’m so happy that I can’t stand my feet.”
“Does that matter? “Aren’t we in an urgent situation at 1 o’clock?”
“… “That is correct.”
So Aster was put on Ludovic’s back.
Ludovic took off and the two headed towards the western continent at high speed.
‘Wow, that’s amazing speed. At this rate, it will be easy to reach Agoris.’
Aster was impressed, but at the same time, he felt worried.
Can we really maintain this speed until we reach Agoris?
I don’t know much about flying magic, but it probably consumes a lot of mana.
“Aster, don’t worry.”
Then Ludovic said:
“I will never again have my body taken away.”
Ludovic’s voice was so distinct as he said those words that he could be heard clearly even through the sound of the wind blowing past him at high speed.
‘… ‘I wasn’t worried about that in the first place.’
The possibility of Ludovic losing his body again.
Even if it wasn’t a lot, Aster somehow thought that wouldn’t happen.
‘… Rather.’
Ludovic himself doesn’t seem to feel it.
Ever since he said that his eyes had been opened, Aster has been feeling it.
‘Right now, Ludovic, I feel a different power from Mana and Auror.’
A little while ago, when Ludovic woke up and spoke to Aster.
Aster felt divine power. So I thought Apollo had come back.
However, it was not Apollo, and what felt like divine power was a little different from Apollo’s.
An energy that resembles Baldur, who was once the god of Aster, and Apollo comes from Ludovic.
However, Ludovic is not possessed by anyone.
So, what is this power?
‘… No way!’
At that time, Aster’s eyes brightened.
‘Ludovic, have you become a god?’
He was still too far away from reaching the truth.
* * *
As Aster and Ludovic got closer to Agoris, the number of people they saw around them gradually increased.
‘… Almost all of them are Zodiac. To be exact, they are gods possessed by the Zodiac.’
Not only the Zodiac but also many famous powerful people from the Empire are moving. This is the moment when you realize the power of divine power.
However, there is no power source.
Constell’s chancellors Ospreet, Monty, and Ridwi Urfa are nowhere to be seen. Did they overcome possession? Or has it gone way ahead of time? Or maybe he’s causing trouble in the empire.
Aster whispered.
“Is this okay? “If only we knew we weren’t possessed.”
“Everyone is in a hurry now, so there is no time to pay attention to those around you. “To begin with, the idea that something other than God is caught between these is strange.”
“But right now, I’m not even flying, I’m just sitting on a piggyback.”
“Look around. A lot of people have already found you, but they don’t care. You are now holding the spear and shield of Ares. Most people will probably think you are Ares. There are many reasons why one cannot fly. “You used up all your mana in the previous fight, or you got hurt.”
“It’s all over the place.”
“It’s okay as long as you keep your mouth shut. Just by looking at you, it looks like you can’t lie.”
Aster can’t bear to say no. As Ludovic said, he decides to lock his mouth.
“Look over there.”
Ludovic suddenly saw the leader of the swarm that had grown.
“It’s Zeus.”
“… “That person,”
I was wondering how to distinguish Zeus among all these people, but it was very easy.
He was already holding Astrapae.
Since he was possessed, it is not the face of Zeus, but that single weapon is enough to prove it.
“… “It really does look like a lightning bolt.”
“Of course.”
Of course. Because everyone said so. Zeus’ astrapae has the shape of lightning. No, Astrape is lightning itself. Zeus holds lightning and throws and shoots lightning.
Aster said after seeing the sharp straight lines bending one after another.
“It doesn’t look good as a weapon.”
“Are you thinking like that while you’re at it?”
“Besides, he’s not someone I know. “I have the divine power of Zeus.”
“Well. I wonder if he has the divine power of Zeus. “There is a high probability that it is simply a possessed body.”
Indeed, upon hearing this, I have never heard of anyone receiving Zeus’ divine powers.
Ludovic continued her story.
“The gods generally say that. It does not give divine powers to humans. “I don’t know why.”
And finally.
[Stop.]
Everyone heading to Agoris witnessed him.
Poseidon.
Poseidon, a huge man with the magnificent size and majestic voice of a sea god, who looked as if he had built five houses, was holding a long trident and was greeting them.
“Poseidon!”
Zeus, who naturally took the lead, looked at Poseidon first and became angry.
“We finally met! “It’s been so long!”
“Um, Zeus.”
The two have been unable to meet face to face since Poseidon was chained to the sea.
Since there is at least an excuse that the devil has despised God, they meet through possession, but if it were not for this incident, their meeting would have happened much later. It was so much later that even the word “Time” Would be meaningless.
Naturally, Zeus was happy to see Poseidon after a long time.
Of course, it was the same for Poseidon, but his face hardened.
“Nice to meet you too. “It was a really long time.”
“It did. Poseidon, but unfortunately we don’t have time right now. “I’m on my way to slay the devil.”
Poseidon nodded his head at that. It’s exactly what Frontier said.
So that.
“Zeus, there is something I must do before I send you away.”
“What should I do?”
“There is a possibility that one of you is not a god.”
Zeus hardened his face at that.
“… Among these is the devil. “Do you have that suspicion?”
“Okay. As long as there is that possibility, we cannot allow them all to pass. “I am also the gatekeeper of this place.”
At Poseidon’s words, the gods looked around at each other.
You might not know it in its original form, but it is now in a situation where it is possessed by a human. If the devil is hiding among your teeth, it is not easy to tell.
Of course, Aster is now cowering and watching the situation.
‘… ‘I think I’m in big trouble.’
I thought I would just arrive at Agoris safely, but suddenly Poseidon makes a scary noise.
Find out who among these people is not a god.
It’s me.
“Poseidon, how are you going to find it? Although we may be talking about the 12 gods of Olympus, there is no god who remembers all of them, including the ecclexis of the gods below them. You can’t tell the devil out of this. Even if they are hiding, it is effective to arrive at the capital and make a sweeping attack.”
“Don’t worry, Zeus. “I will let you go.”
Poseidon turned to Zeus’s right hand.
“Those who have weapons to prove will be let go.”
Astrapae of Zeus. No one holds it except Zeus.
However, displeasure spread across Zeus’ face.
“Poseidon. There aren’t many gods who have weapons that represent themselves. “What are we going to do with the remaining gods?”
“I have to check them out one by one.”
“Now is the time,”
“Zeus. “You alone is enough.”
Poseidon and Zeus look at each other for a moment.
Zeus didn’t like it, but soon nodded his head.
You might not know it in its original form, but it is now in a situation where it is possessed by a human. The most overwhelmingly powerful person here is Poseidon.
And what Poseidon said was right.
Zeus, that one is enough.
“And Ares.”
Poseidon pointed his finger in a direction. The problem is that the finger is so big that I don’t know who it’s pointing to.
“Ares. You too pass. Good.”
“…”
“Ares?”
There, Aster, who was in a daze, hears Ludovic’s whisper.
“You’re talking, idiot.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“Oh.”
Only then did Aster straighten his body and raise his head.
Poseidon tilted his head as he looked at Aster.
“Where are you hurt? “I can’t even fly and I’m being carried on a piggyback.”
“… Ah, I was injured in a battle that occurred earlier in the Empire, and I used up all my mana.”
Aster repeats Ludovic’s lame excuses.
Moreover, it was mixed.
“…”
Zeus takes a quick look at that and then flies towards the capital as if he was busy with his journey.
Meanwhile, Poseidon spoke.
“Hmm, anyway, you go too. That spear and shield. “It’s as clear as a business card.”
Poseidon thought he had presented a reasonable first strainer. The weapon of God cannot be easily touched by anyone other than the person himself. For someone who didn’t know what was going on outside, it was a pretty good idea.
Aster said, pointing her finger at Ludovic.
“Ah, then, since I can’t fly, even if I go with this friend…”
In response to Aster’s words, Ludovic muttered, ‘You idiot.’
Poseidon has a doubt on his face.
“… ? “Why are you saying such an obvious thing?”
“Oh, that’s right. “Then let’s go.”
In response, Ludovic flies away in silence.
Everyone was silently watching that scene.
Something is strange, strange… The gods were looking at Ludovic and Aster while feeling some discomfort.
“… Ares?”
One of them, I finally figured out the identity of the feeling of discomfort.
“So that face and body are Renzo?”
“Hmm?”
“Hmm.”
The gods looked at Aster’s face.
“… Did Renzo have a face like that?”
“You surprisingly care a lot about your appearance, Ares.”
Because Renzo travels alone, the gods do not know much about his appearance.
However, there is something I heard from Ares, and Aster’s expression does not match somehow.
“… Ares.”
“… Ah yes.”
Aster is still slow to respond to Poseidon’s call.
“Before you go, please ask me one thing.”
Poseidon suddenly looked at Aster with a bit of suspicion.
“Show me the ecclexis.”
Aster closed his mouth for a moment.
Eccles, what? He almost said. Really.
“If you show enough power as one of the 12 Olympus gods, that’s fine.”
Poseidon said it was a generous offer.
Aster just blinked.
