Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 144 Chapter

44 Resurrection

The guards acted quickly upon Obsidian’s alarm. At the front was Major General Esther. Of course, it was Mirror Esther.

[Intruder Occurrence Intruder Occurrence The intruder murdered three prison guards in the morgue. Respond quickly. An intruder occurred—]

Following the instructions, the prison guards headed to the morgue. The entrance to the prison has already been blocked. A siege network was formed, blocking the retreat route from the outside.

However.

Rumbling!

A sound different from the alarm pressed by the employee rang again.

At the same time, water was sprayed from sprinklers installed on the ceiling.

‘fire?’

The intruder started a fire. So why? Esther and the guards advanced steadily across the pouring water.

The door to the morgue was automatically locked the moment the alarm sounded. In other words, there are still intruders inside.

It’s hard to understand the act of starting a fire in a confined space, but he’s the crazy guy who broke into Obsidian in the first place.

Beep-

clack.

Esther, who was in the lead, opened the door without delay. It was a locking magic that registered a fingerprint.

Esther has already unlocked her Aura. Not only she, but all of Obsidian’s guards can use Aurors. This is the basic condition of a prison guard.

“Oh my…”

However, the intruder had already disappeared. Renzo’s body was not even visible.

Subsequently, more prison guards came in and searched the room, but to no avail. The culprit had already left the morgue.

‘It’s transfer magic. That’s also very outstanding performance. Probably a portal.’

It will become clear when you check the CCTV, but it’s probably not true.

Esther looked at the situation and figured out a way to escape.

The criminal entered through the front door. Talking nonsense about being indebted to Renzo. If his transference had been at the level of ‘space transference’, there would have been no need for that.

They could have taken Renzo out of solitary confinement before he even died in the first place.

In other words, his transference is a one-way street where only ‘return’ is possible.

However, if that happens, some questions remain.

‘So what are sprinklers?’

Esther has been concentrating on her sense of smell since earlier. The fire was extinguished by the sprinklers, but I could smell a faint burnt smell. Clearly, the culprit set fire here.

The reason why an opponent who could return through the portal bothered to set a fire inside. It is difficult to infer easily.

‘When creating a portal, you need fire or water…’

While Esther was developing her thoughts, the guards cleaned up the inside of the morgue and continued searching the prison.

According to Esther’s judgment, he would have already escaped the prison, but she could be wrong, and even if she was right, it was not a reason to stop the search.

“I have something to report to you, Director.”

At that time, a prison guard approached Esther.

“what?”

“According to the employee who raised the alarm, CCTV in the morgue showed that the culprit had changed his face.”

“Change your face?”

“yes. It is said that she was a slender woman when she came in, but her face changed to a more androgynous one inside the morgue. “I said my face was like clay.”

“hmm. So does that mean the criminal didn’t know there was CCTV?”

“no. He said he was watching CCTV cameras. They say it was shown intentionally. You can change your appearance at any time, so you won’t be able to find it. “I think it was that kind of appeal.”

Esther’s eyes sank.

Esther spoke after grazing her chin and lips with her fingertips.

“If you do that, he will be a monster from outside.”

“…the monster outside.”

“If changing your face isn’t enough to appeal to your abilities, your existence will probably never be discovered in the empire. So the response is delayed and no one knows what it is. “That’s what his provocation means.”

“indeed. “It was the work of a monster.”

The prison guard nodded as if impressed.

However, Esther still seemed suspicious.

‘Even so, it is not enough as a reason for provocation. I heard that the monsters outside have excellent intelligence. Moreover, I heard that since there are monsters as powerful as them around them, they become wary of each other and become even more cautious and sinister with their high intelligence.’

If it were just a simple monster, it could be seen as a purpose to show off its abilities.

If it’s a monster outside, there’s a possibility that even that display was aiming for something.

‘Renzo shows off his corpse portal transformation….’

The condensed keywords passed through Esther’s mind in order.

‘You need fire or water.’

Immediately, those eyes glowed coldly.

‘─The monster outside.’

The reason you need fire or water isn’t because of the portal.

Maybe the monster itself.

Esther concluded and spoke softly.

“I get it.”

“yes?”

“He showed off his abilities. It was a form of confidence that we would never find. But if you look at it differently, what do you see? The conclusion is that only ‘monsters’ are capable of such things. “It’s also an unidentified monster we’ve never seen.”

“That’s right.”

“In other words, he deliberately let us know that he was a monster. “There is no reason to take this kind of risk.”

“He’s not human, so wouldn’t that be possible? “These people don’t know what they’re thinking.”

Esther shook her head at the guard’s words.

“That’s because you’ve never met an outside monster. People who don’t know what they’re thinking? that’s right. But that doesn’t mean they’re dumber than us. Because it goes beyond our thoughts.”

The intelligence of the monsters and humans outside is almost the same. Esther knows it. She actually encountered the monster outside and barely escaped from limbs.

However, unlike humans, whose emotions, logic, beliefs, and values have a great influence on their choices, the monsters outside do not have such things.

They have no people or hearts to protect. That superior intelligence is only used for one’s own purposes.

If you don’t understand that way of thinking.

“As long as you ignore the monsters outside as just monsters, even if your body is torn in half, you ‘deserve to die’.”

“….”

The prison guard swallowed his saliva at Esther’s cold words.

He asked again slowly.

“Then what do you think the warden is thinking?”

“This is not the work of an ‘individual.’”

“What do you mean?”

“This guy is a monster, as he has shown his abilities. That’s for sure. But if we get lost in that thought, we are just chasing the monster. That will actually be the factor that will make you stay away from him.”

“…What does that mean?”

The guards did not yet understand what Esther meant.

Esther thought that she had been too sparing with her words, so she naturally understood it.

“He joined hands with humans.”

“…!”

“So, you know that the more you pretend to be a monster, the safer you become. “The more we look outside, the more he hides inside.”

Only then did the prison guard understand. His eyes trembled.

I began to understand a little bit what kind of monsters out there were.

Meanwhile, Esther let out a small sigh.

‘I guess I’ll have to contact the main body.’

It won’t be too late since you haven’t arrived in Constel yet.

* * *

Obsidian’s reputation suffered a huge stain on this day.

An intruder stole Renzo’s body.

A shameful situation that does not live up to its reputation as the best prison in the empire.

Only one monster did this. It is hard to believe that they are not human, and it has become a factor that creates even more anxiety among the citizens of the empire.

However, the person who achieved this great achievement is.

“…Lenzo, listen to me.”

I was looking at the man in front of me with tremendous tension.

“Oh, are you listening?”

Renzo grinned and looked at the Kraken.

The Kraken was also smiling, but its face was obviously somewhat stiff.

Renzo said.

“The empress of this empire told me one day. Don’t bark. At first, I got hot as soon as I heard those words, but when I thought about it carefully, I realized that I was really a cub. “You said something very true.”

Renzo picked his ears. Scratching the opposite ear with my left little finger seemed very awkward.

“So you just said you bitch? Anyway, I listened carefully to what you said. “I am an animal, so I thought I would be able to understand when I hear the sounds of animals.”

However, Renzo’s mood changed immediately after he recited those words. Renzo’s fierceness shot the Kraken. He was even hot to live with. If you are swallowed, you will burn to death. So much so that Kraken thought so.

“But what did you say? You hold the power over my life and death? Yeon guy. “Didn’t you just say that?”

“…Renzo’s heart is now being replaced by my core. “If I want to.”

“Huh. “This is it.”

Renzo shook his head. Slowly, as if he truly did not understand.

Apparently, Renzo’s heart has now been replaced with Kraken’s core. The owner of the core is Kraken, and it is not that Kraken is not, but if he wants to, he can stop the core and kill Renzo.

“okay. Why not give it a try? “I’m really curious about how fast you ‘make up your mind’?”

“….”

“I gave Renzo his core to revive him and gave him the power to live and die? Yeon guy. “You invaded Obsidian.”

“…I don’t think Obsidian is that great?”

Renzo took a breath at Kraken’s words.

Soon hahaha!! I burst into loud laughter.

“What’s funny?”

“Not great? yes. “Is that the only amount of information coming from the monsters outside?”

“…What does it mean?”

“You think you succeeded in escaping ‘Obsidian’ just because you left the ‘building’ right now, but you are sorely mistaken. Four years ago, you hit the bell on your own life. “The warden there doesn’t know what will happen if he gets caught by that crazy bitch and why the evil prisoners in that prison stay silent.”

Among the sinners on the continent, the one who knows the most about Obsidian is by far Renzo. The world’s worst criminal naturally has a strong connection with the world’s greatest prison.

“Are you trying to threaten me by whining that you need my power at the cost of your own life? You should have heard what happened to all the guys who were doing the work for me and then came to me. “You octopus bitch who doesn’t even know this topic.”

“?!”

Kraken’s face hardened.

octopus. The derogatory term itself is unpleasant, but the fact that it is mentioned is unpleasant.

“…How do you know?”

“What do you mean your bitch is an octopus?”

Renzo chuckled. Kraken felt that his momentum was unusual.

──You probably would have seen the Kraken if it were Frontier.

A purple haze rising from Renzo’s body.

“I taught you. Ares. “If I die, you will definitely come and save me.”

“Ares, really, the god of war, Ares? “You mean you met God?”

“Rather than saying we met, I just talked to myself and left.”

Kraken had nothing to say at Renzo’s confident tone.

Of course, Kraken himself was not in a position to talk to others, but he still ‘talked’ to the god who gave him his divine power.

“…So you’re saying that you deliberately died because you knew he would come back to life?”

“Uh oh. “That Ares guy told me.”

Renzo still spoke in a cocky voice.

“If I die, the octopus head will come and revive me, and since I and Ares have the same goal, it will lend me ‘proper power.’”

“…purpose?”

“Yeah, isn’t it obvious?”

Renzo’s eyes brightened. The life that seemed to be on fire was now bubbling and blooming like lava.

“I will kill Frontier. “It will be the most fun event of my life.”
