The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 212

Episode 212 Chapter

68 Reaction (9)

Eden raised his sword.

Strong auras surrounded his body, incomparably stronger than those of other professionals.

This is not an effect of mana injection. Eden’s original auror was already this strong.

Frontier’s Golem was designed to match each professional one-on-one, so there was no golem to stop Eden, who was hiding.

“Ha!”

With all his might, he lightly cut down the black cloth blocking the black door that had been thrown out.

“It’s open! “This way.”

There was nothing to say. The pros rushed in as soon as they confirmed that Eden had opened the door. They had already arrived nearby and had no hesitation.

“Now wait a minute! slowly!”

Eden was pushed out of the building as the pros pushed themselves toward the exit.

And then

bang!

The door closed and they entered darkness.

“What is it? Is it night?”

“no. No matter how dark it gets, you probably can’t see an inch in front of you to this extent, right?”

They murmured in confusion.

They clearly opened the door of the building and came out. So it was right to come out. In normal times.

But why am I trapped in pitch-black darkness when I come out?

It was as if I had stepped into something else—

squeak—

and then light came in.

The door of something that had swallowed them opened and Frontier appeared.

As light came into the interior, where they could not see even an inch in front of them, they realized what they were inside. It was inside another building where all kinds of weapons and miscellaneous items were stored.

“welcome. “This is my workshop.”

From Frondier’s words, they realized that not everyone had gone out yet.

But how? Why are they inside somewhere even though they opened the door and went out?

“I know what questions you have. The short answer is that I posted this workshop in front of the exit you left. “The exit of the building you left was the entrance to this workshop.”

You put it on? How on earth do you put a building next to a building?

“Huh nonsense. “A building as large as this can move as it pleases,”

Frondier laughed, as if those words had come at a very good time.

Kugugugu-

“Wow wow!”

“Huh?!”

They were taken aback by the sudden slope of the floor. That feeling only lasted for a moment, and soon they fell as if they had been thrown into the air.

The floor became the wall and the wall became the floor. In other words, the building ‘lay down’. They had no choice but to fall towards the floor as they had their feet on what was a wall.

thud! Coo! thud!

Of course, like seasoned professionals, they were able to land safely using their own auras and falling techniques, but the look of disappointment was evident on their faces.

It really moved. This huge building.

Just think about that for a moment.

“damn! also!”

This time, the building ‘stood up’ as if returning to its original position. Those who were preparing landed safely again, and Frontier appeared in front of them again on the other side of the door.

“That was a good comment.”

“This son of a bitch…”

The pros were furious.

However, they could not recklessly attack Frontier.

If this building really can move at Frondier’s will, then attacking Frondier now will only cause the building to move again.

That’s why it’s impossible to reach that exit.

Above all, even if this workshop does not move, if you try to leave through the exit here, you will only end up entering the building from before again. To the building full of those scary golems. What on earth does it mean?

There is one way to overcome this situation.

You must find another exit other than the door opened by Frontier.

“Then I will go. “I hope you have a good time.”

“What what?”

“You all came in on your own, so there is nothing I can do about it.”

As he spoke as if he was leaving, Frontier closed the door.

As soon as he closed the door, the professionals quickly ran over and checked the doorknob.

“…Locked.”

“No, it’s not locked. This is…”

“Okay. “It’s just a wall.”

The pros sighed after confirming that the door that Frontier had just closed could no longer be opened.

In fact, if they had been a little more cool-headed, they would not have stepped into the exit that opened in the workshop a moment ago. If it’s too pitch black outside the door, you’ll think there’s something strange.

However, their heads were frozen with fear and they could not think of that. I moved my body with just a desire to get out of the building.

I walked in on my own feet. What Frontier said wasn’t entirely wrong.

“What now?”

“I have no choice but to find another exit.”

They picked up the Sage phone and turned on the flashlight. It was a bit inconvenient in this situation to leave out the wizard to prevent a big commotion. No, considering the situation from before, it was fortunate that there was no wizard. There is little a wizard can do in such a hellish battlefield. I would have had to go one-on-one with the golem.

“How big is this building?”

“I don’t know. “I didn’t come in after checking the size from outside.”

“We have no choice but to split into groups and find out.”

Nearly half of the people who initially gathered were already dead. However, there were still personnel capable of carrying out the operation. They decided to form a group of three. This is the minimum number of people to form a team.

However, because people died from unexpected enemy attacks, the number of people did not fall to a multiple of 3.

There was only one person left, Eden Hamelot.

“….”

“Eden, what would you trade for me? Since you are the leader, it is safer…”

“No. I’ll move alone. “This is the best position.”

In fact, Eden is the most skilled among them, and if he has to act alone, he will be able to perform best.

However, it was my first time seeing this space without any preparation. I wonder if such common sense will actually work.

“good. Then let’s start investigating. “I will take the lead.”

The professional who had spoken to Eden spoke confidently and stepped forward.

Pow!

Then he was hit by something and fell down. The face had changed beyond recognition and was no longer a human head.

“What a trap?!”

“be careful! “Look around and move!”

They were shocked by the sudden death of their colleague and became alert to their surroundings. I tried my best to illuminate the surroundings with my flashlight, but the range was not at all satisfactory.

In moderate darkness, human eyes accept small amounts of light and gradually become accustomed to it. Even if you can’t see it right away, over time you will gradually be able to distinguish objects around you.

However, this place is completely dark with not a single ray of light coming in. No matter how much time passes, nothing is visible. Just rely on the flashlight.

“Why don’t we divide this into groups…”

Someone said that out of fear.

“You idiot! The only light we can rely on now is Sage Phone’s flashlight! “If everyone hesitates without even knowing how big this building is, they’ll end up dead!”

It may be safer to move all together rather than dividing people, but it is the height of inefficiency when you don’t know where the trap is.

Sage Phone is the essence of magic engineering, so it uses the mana installed inside. When all that mana is used up, the power goes out and there is no means of lighting the light.

There is no other way for them. The divided teams have no choice but to move individually and find an exit as quickly as possible.

‘What kind of trap is this?’

Meanwhile, Eden narrowed his eyes and looked around. Of course, you can’t see any areas that the Sage Phone’s flashlight doesn’t reach, but you can still feel the presence.

These are all veteran professionals. These are reliable, talented people selected by Eden himself.

But one of them just got hit in the face and died. Completely defenseless.

‘It is fundamentally different from the trap method I know. You have to know that first.’

Eden’s thoughts were similar to everyone else’s.

They walked slowly, little by little, broadening their spirit and constantly looking around.

“────I found it.”

After studying silently for a while, Eden discovered something and opened his mouth.

All the professionals who were eagerly waiting for those words looked at Eden.

“I found it? Trap trigger?”

“huh. maybe.”

Eden shined a flashlight at a certain place.

“…?”

But there was nothing where Eden looked. The pros all frowned.

“what? “What do you mean there is something?”

“Look Carefully. “The middle near the floor where I shined.”

The professionals’ attention became more focused on those words.

And they soon found it.

“…What is that dust thing?”

Someone expressed a short comment.

Hearing that, someone else seemed to notice.

“…This is it. “The black liquid that Frontier bastard used.”

“what?”

The pros were surprised by those words and looked again.

In the area where Eden illuminated, small water droplets, barely visible to the naked eye, were floating on the floor. It’s so small that you miss it even if you lose concentration just a little. It’s so small that you can’t see it clearly even when looking at it.

“…I’ll check.”

Eden raised his sword in a nervous voice. Everyone swallowed their saliva at that action and raised their alertness to the maximum.

And the moment Eden lightly touched the black water droplet.

Shhh!

This time it was a window. Eden barely managed to block the blow that came at him at terrifying speed. The hand that blocked it trembled.

This was not because the spear was powerful, but because the speed was too fast and the posture was not maintained properly.

“…Everyone saw it, right?”

“….”

Everyone fell silent.

It was my first time seeing a trap device set up like this.

There are two types of traps. One is a complete analog that does not use mana. A classic trap that triggers when a person steps on it or touches it. This is a very old but still frequently used trap. This is a trap that untrained people can easily fall into.

Another method is a magic attack device that uses mana. This is much easier to trigger than a regular trap. You can trigger a trap with a simple action such as passing through a certain space or making a sound.

It is much more complicated than the classic trap, but for those who are sensitive to mana, this may actually be safer.

So usually traps use a mixture of these two.

‘It’s close to a magic trap and I can hardly feel any mana.’

Eden’s discovery was partly luck. Even if you look at it like this, you can barely feel the mana there. It’s especially difficult because there are so many veteran pros around.

Although Eden didn’t say it out loud, a desperate question eventually crossed his mind.

Can you find the exit inside this building?

Can we survive until we find the exit?

* * *

It goes without saying, but there is no exit from the workshop. Even if there is, it is only produced by Frontier.

The size of the workshop increases in proportion to the weapons or materials collected by the Frontier. Through its many past experiences, Frontier has stored up a lot of weapons, and the workshop has grown in size accordingly.

It is nearly impossible for the people inside to avoid all the traps and search the entire building. Even so, there is no exit, so it has no meaning.

“The trap is better than I thought.”

Frontier sat in a comfortable position and observed the interior of the workshop.

Frontier knows the principles of trap devices through prerequisite knowledge from games and experience from clearing dungeons.

The traps currently inside the workshop are applications of that. Since attack and defense itself is his skill in the first place, traps created with mana can be implemented without difficulty.

‘It’s surprising that Eden discovered it sooner than expected, but nothing much will change.’

If he puts his mind to it, Frondier can kill everyone in the workshop in less than 10 seconds.

That’s why the workshop space is so advantageous to Frontier. The attack itself is already a trap from the enemy’s perspective. The best precaution is not to come here in the first place.

The fact that Frontier has created a trap right now is nothing more than conducting various experiments on professionals.

“Even after you find the trigger, you end up getting caught. “It may be because it is completely dark inside the workshop, but if done well, I think it can be used outside as well.”

Frondier said indifferently as he watched the people in the workshop dying one by one.

As he watched professionals discovering pitfalls and dealing with them or failing to do so, he came up with ways to improve them one by one.

…How long has it been like that?

Frondier shook his hands and stood up.

He walked at a leisurely pace and opened the door to the workshop. He climbed the stairs to the first, second, and third floors and headed towards the man standing still in the center.

Of course, even if Frontier touches the trigger, the trap will not be activated.

The trigger is Frondier’s Dark Heaven, and the owner of this workshop is Frondier.

“Thank you for your effort.”

“…Frondier….”

The man standing in the center looked at Frondier with heavy breathing that seemed like he was going to lose his breath. There were corpses strewn around.

They all died before they could get past the third floor, and only one person remained.

“It’s just as I heard. Mr. Eden.”

“….”

Eden Hamelot. Only he survived among all these people.

Of course, he was also not in good health. While he managed to avoid the trap, he was exhausted and suffered numerous wounds all over his body.

“…are they all dead?”

The pros dispersed after forming several groups, so Eden does not know the situation on the other side. Frondier nodded.

“That’s right.”

“…The colleagues I trusted died in an instant. Screaming and crying for help, or even not being able to do that all at once. They all died like that. Frontier.”

Eden’s tone repeatedly trembled gently and contained endless anger. With life blooming all over his body, he looked at Frondier.

Frondier said after hearing Eden’s cold tone.

“──Is that so?”

“Lee X’s baby !!!”

Eden drew out all of his remaining Aurors and charged at Frontier. I didn’t care if it was a trap or anything. Even if something like that were triggered, Frondier was prepared to make it his companion.

Frondier raised one hand. Accordingly, the weapons inside the workshop moved and rushed to Eden.

“Aaaaa!!”

Eden Hamelot exhaled a terrifying aura and destroyed weapons one after another. His sword skills were so well trained that they were scary, and he even had an auror. Eden was well equipped with the three skills to be called a top professional.

However, this is Frontier’s workshop.

Squeak-

“Sigh!”

The entire workshop was slightly excited. Eden lost his balance. However, he quickly recovered and this time floated his entire body. It was a type of wealth.

Frontier’s weapons are flying again. Eden is capable of striking down weapons with aura and swordsmanship.

The weapons were shattered by Eden’s swordsmanship and scattered on the floor. And those weapons disappear without Eden looking.

Go back to your original position and wait for your turn again.

Shuung!

This time back. Following Frondier’s gesture, the weapons that had been firing at Eden’s face now disturbed him from all directions.

“Ouch!”

Eden rotated his body and disposed of the weapons. The aurors mixed accordingly, creating a gust of wind.

The strong wind silenced the weapons flying from all directions. However, the weapons that could not be destroyed floated again and were fired at Eden again.

In addition to that.

Coo!

“?!”

At one point, Eden realized that he had been pushed into a wall. He didn’t go towards the wall. The wall flew towards him and forced it against him.

As if the workshop was shaking, the entire place moved and the walls and floor came crashing down on Eden.

“Ugh keuheuuuuuu!”

In order to maintain the balance of consumed stamina and aura, rotation was used to correspond to all four directions of floating, and this time, it also corresponded to walls and floor. Eden was already pushed to his limit.

thud! Kugugoogung!

When he came to his senses, Eden was pinned to the wall and tied to all kinds of weapons fired by Frondier.

While he was frantically swinging his sword, Frondier was looking at Eden without even moving from where he was standing.

“Ugh! Frontier! FRONDIEROOOO!!!”

Eden was overcome with resentment and evil. Frondier calmly walked towards Eden.

“I’m sure you felt it yourself.”

Frontier revealed that Eden could not help but look away.

“If you had come at me from the beginning, it would have been quite a fight.”

“…!”

The screaming voice stopped in an instant.

Eden is strong enough to rival Renzo in skill. Of course, Renzo has now obtained the God’s Spear and Shield, so I don’t know what it will be like now, but Frontier is by no means an opponent that can be defeated this easily.

“This is what happens when you try to solve a problem by hiding yourself and only issuing orders.”

The reason is simple.

Because I underestimated Frontier.

Because I thought that just one student would not be able to withstand the attacks of professionals.

Frondier sighed.

“I was clumsy. “Because I show my power in a clumsy way, people like you come out without knowing the topic and try to take advantage of me and mess around with me.”

“Frondier, do you think you’ll get away safely after doing something like this? “The entire Phenomenon headquarters will rush to kill you.”

Eden growled without losing his spirit even when he was tied up.

Frontier looked at it for a moment and said.

“So where are you? “Where is the hideout where mana injections are researched?”

“I don’t know anything like that.”

Eden said, looking at Frondier with clear eyes.

Frondier smiled at him.

“Fortunately, the.”

“…what?”

“There is an order to things. As expected, Mr. Eden knows it well.”

Sigh!

“Kwaaaa!!”

Frondier took out his short sword, thrust it into Eden’s shoulder, and pulled it out in one go. It was a dry movement, like slitting a pig’s throat.

“Yes. This is the correct order. There’s no way he would open his mouth that easily. “I’m really fortunate that Mr. Eden is a strong person.”

“You crazy bastard…!”

To Eden, Frondier’s words only sounded like he wanted to torture him.

Actually, that was correct. Frontier could not ignore Eden, who was praised as the number one professional, killing people through experiments and using Elin more than anything else.

Weaving

Grade – Legendary

Dragon Heart

Frondeer created a dragon heart and swallowed it. Of course, Eden couldn’t tell what Frondier had swallowed.

However, as Frondier’s mana, which already knew no bounds, soared in an instant and the tie he was wearing began to shine, a huge fear came over him.

“…okay.”

Frondier’s voice seemed to be boiling as if something had changed in his body.

Frondier said with a calm smile.

“Mr. Eden, you have a younger brother. “Five years younger.”

“…her?”

“You live quite far away from your family. To prevent monsters from outside, I placed my family in ‘Entobus’, which has good security even in the center of the continent. “You are a dutiful son who cherishes your parents.”

“…How could you…”

Eden let out a trembling voice, unable to show off. Frondier’s words were too accurate to be just a guess.

“Each person has a purpose in living. For most people, their own safety is the most important thing, but some people live with something more important than that in their hearts. “Physical torture doesn’t work well on those people.”

Frondier raised his short sword.

The blade that had just pierced Eden’s shoulder was covered in blood, and the blood slowly flowing down the blade wetted Frondier’s hands.

“What is really precious about such people? “Finding that is the right way to torture someone.”

“How on earth could you…”

To Eden, his family is several times more important than his research on mana injection. Therefore, it was a secret not to be revealed to anyone.

Because he holds the title of No. 1 professional, Eden has many competitors and therefore many enemies.

To keep them in check, Eden sent his family to the safest place and did not tell anyone about the relationship.

But Frondier realized it in an instant. There was only one way this was possible.

‘skill! It’s a skill! ‘Frondeer used the skill using something he just ate!’

A guess that is almost correct.

However, this correct answer only brings despair to Eden.

Because Frontier’s skill is truly capable of revealing the opponent’s ‘secrets’.

From Eden’s perspective, the location of the mana injection laboratory will be revealed much more easily than his family.

In that case, Frondier already knows the location of the lab, so there is no need to torture Eden.

“Frondier!” I get it! Let me tell you the information! “The location of the lab is ridiculous!”

Eden realized something scary and tried to spit out information, but Frondier was faster than him.

Frontier’s black cloth entered Eden’s mouth and filled it. I could breathe, but speaking was impossible.

“You can’t do that anymore.”

Frontier’s sunken eyes knew no depth.

Eden had never seen such gloomy and creepy eyes before.

Eden tries to tell him the information about the lab, but Frontier prevents him from doing so.

Frondier twirled the short sword in his arm. Meanwhile, according to Frontier’s will, the weapons of the attack and defense were lined up around Eden.

It was a list of weapons equipped solely for torture and not at all suitable for combat.

“Like I said before.”

Frondier said, choosing the torture instruments listed with indifferent eyes.

“There is an order. In everything. “You, your parents, and your younger brother.”

“Ugh! Wow! Wow! “Ooooooo!!”

No matter how hard he tried to let out Eden’s voice, he couldn’t make any sense. Before he knew it, Frondier, looking at him with tears and snot flowing down his face, picked up a nearby tool.
