The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 215
Episode 215
Chapter 69 Antidote (3)
Frondier stretched out one hand.
I had been curious about Frontier for a long time. How did they change mana into liquid?
No matter how concentrated mana becomes, it does not become a liquid. Because it’s not that kind of material in the first place.
So Frontier’s reasoning was this.
‘This lab did not develop technology to turn mana into liquid. ‘We developed a technology to insert mana into the original liquid.’
I don’t know what the liquid is, but it is probably a substance that is harmless to the human body, like saline solution. They simply chose injection as a means of injecting mana into others.
And whether it is harmless or harmful.
Frondier already knows the liquid that contains mana from the beginning.
Heukcheon.
“It’s probably impossible to absorb it.”
As he spoke, Frondier raised his hand.
Shhh!
His black sky spread out in all directions and attached to the people behind the black wall.
“I think I can take it off.”
Frontier’s sixth sense responded clearly. Each person’s mana is different from their own and clashes with each other.
‘Human mana has different colors. However, the injected mana can be as many as… or maybe it’s five types. ‘I made quite an attempt to get out.’
Five types of mana injected into them. This means that this laboratory has improved mana injection at least five times using humans as test subjects.
Just like when Frondier absorbed the black monster, he allowed the mana of the black sky to contact the mana inside the human body.
“Mr. Elin and Dier.”
And right before I tried, I called both of their names.
“I’m prepared. It’s my first time doing this too. “These people could die.”
“…!”
At those words, their expressions hardened. However, it did not stop Frontier.
I don’t know what Frontier is going to do now. However, just before Frondier came to help, Dier and Elin also prepared to kill them.
The only other way is to walk there.
After checking their eyes.
Frontier pulled the black cloth.
“Keuuuuuuck!!”
“Off…”
Some screamed and others moaned in pain. However, everyone’s subsequent actions were the same. They sat down like deflated balloon dolls.
Elin ran and looked at them.
Elin’s face, which had been diagnosing her physical condition with a stern expression, became much more relaxed after a while.
“…I’m alive. “The symptoms disappeared.”
Dier sighed after hearing that.
But soon he saw Frondier in surprise.
‘What is this person’s true identity?’
Cause of side effects Through the appearance of Frondier just before, Dier figured out that Frondier had drained the mana they had been injected with.
But it ended there. I couldn’t figure out how on earth Frondeer could drain someone else’s mana. Even if it is infused mana.
‘…As expected, something has changed. ‘Frondier.’
Meanwhile, Elin was nervous about the atmosphere in Frontier.
The expression and voice were the same as usual, but today’s Frondier had an inexplicable eerieness.
It seems like something much more fundamental has changed than when he confronted Elin, or rather, something has been abandoned.
“Then the rest.”
Frondier raised his head and looked into the distance.
There, a huge chunk of mana that had awakened before them was running wild.
A prototype that was first tested long before those who have fallen now.
Many researchers had already been swept away by him, and he was slowly walking towards Frontier.
“Be careful Frontier. “That’s a lot of mana.”
“…yes. “It certainly is.”
Frontier responded to Elin’s tense voice.
Meanwhile, the prototype emerged. Her body was abnormally swollen, perhaps because she had received an injection. His eyes were much redder and bloodshot than the others, blood vessels all over his body stood out, and a fog-like fog rose around him due to the excessive heat of his body.
Every time it walked, it made a heavy thumping sound.
“Elin C. Dier. “Step back.”
Following Frondier’s words, the two retreated. Both of them have still received mana injections and are stronger than before, but Elin’s condition has worsened due to side effects after some time has passed, and Dier is not yet good at handling mana itself.
And above all, even after receiving the mana injection, Frontier still seemed much stronger.
“Khahahaha!!”
At that time, Angus’s laughter, unable to read the atmosphere, rang out.
“Look! That huge mana! A human body that is still alive despite being injected with that much mana. This is medicine! Starting with that prototype, I dreamed of a mission to create human weapons and restore the human realm! “I have been fighting for humanity!”
There was no one who responded to him. However, it was a very unpleasant remark. Is that justification for creating a human weapon? Or is it sincere? Either way, Angus was full of self-confidence now.
Now that this mana injection has spread throughout the world, the number of people telling similar stories to Angus will increase.
Even in a somewhat moderate way, the opinion that ‘mana injection is not necessary depending on the situation’ can be raised.
“come.”
But that’s not the problem to worry about now. Frondier raised his mana and sharpened the black sky. It was poised to attack the prototype at any time.
Frontier and Prototype’s eyes met. With the black wall in the center, each other’s movements stopped.
“Ha ha ha ha ha! die! Everyone will die here with me! “Look at the power of prototypes!!”
As Angus said, it seemed like the clash between the two would begin at any moment.
“──No.”
Frontier saw something in the prototype’s eyes. Frontier actually relaxed his fighting stance. The black wall was also lifted and returned to the black sky.
“Frondier?”
Surprised, Elin called out to Frondier, but Frondier did not answer and just watched the prototype quietly.
As soon as the black wall disappeared, the prototype approached Frontier with heavy steps and
stomped away.
I got down on both knees.
Elin and Dier widened their eyes at that.
Of course, it was Angus who was more surprised than anything else.
“What are you doing! prototype! Kill him! “What makes you think you exist!”
According to Angus’ explanation, the current prototype would have already lost consciousness after being used as a test subject for all kinds of mana injections.
Therefore, only the urge to emit mana remains and it does not listen to anyone’s commands.
So, of course, there was no way he could hear what Angus said, but the current prototype’s behavior was so unexpected that Angus shouted at the top of his lungs.
“why! Why you! “You should be a human weapon!!”
Prototype spoke, leaving behind Angus’ harsh words.
“…Kill me.”
“…!”
That one word.
When the person he considered an enemy mentioned death himself, Frondier’s eyes widened. His hands were shaking like never before.
It was a huge change for Frondier, who had always been good at hiding his emotions.
Frondier clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
And the eyes opened again. Elin saw it.
‘…I’m back.’
Seeing that, Elin finally felt that Frontier had returned to the Frontier she knew, at least a little.
“What do you mean, kill me?”
Frondier asked.
The prototype said, shaking its head and shoulders.
“I have lost and regained consciousness countless times. I don’t know when I’ll lose my mind again. So kill him before then. “Before I hurt anyone.”
“Have you ever killed anyone?”
“…I do not know. I don’t remember. But I’m sure…”
The man who said that gradually began to tremble and tears began to flow from his eyes.
“My dream was to protect people. But I don’t even know what I was doing while I was losing my fucking mind. I didn’t know who to ask for forgiveness from, but I held on like that, thinking that I had to do it someday, that I would have to put my head on the line and atone for the rest of my life to the families of the people I killed, but now, fuck it! “Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!”
The man’s body gradually tilted. He put both fists on the floor.
I just quietly repeated words like I’m sorry, I’m sorry, without knowing who I was addressing.
Frondier saw this and got down on one knee to be at eye level with the man.
“Then you must live. You must live to tell the world what happened to you. If you really killed someone, you will have to make atonement. “It’s not over yet.”
“But now I’ve been experimented on to the point where I can’t go back. Now I don’t know when I might lose consciousness…”
“No.”
Frontier’s mana boiled over. He identified the man’s body through analysis.
As he said, the body was already in disarray as a result of many experiments.
However, if you remove the mixed mana, the immediate side effects will disappear.
Frontier is neither a doctor nor a healer, but as long as he stops things from getting worse, everything else will work out.
And above all.
“You endured it.”
“…!”
Angus was convinced that the man was unconscious.
Probably anyone would. Many people who received mana injections much later than this man also lost their minds and tried to attack Dier and Elin.
But this man persevered. Even after numerous experiments, he did not let go of himself with the sole intention of atonement.
“So it is possible.”
“You mean you can heal me?”
“A little bit.”
Frondier stretched out the black cloth and touched the man’s body.
I couldn’t simply drain the mana like others. It was so tangled that delicate manipulation was required.
And more than anything, the will of the man himself was important.
“It may hurt more than any experiment I’ve been through so far.”
Of course, Frontier doesn’t know which side is actually more painful. But the people from earlier screamed when the mana was taken out. There was probably a lot of pain.
For this man who has already been subjected to many experiments, the pain will be even more severe.
“…Does not matter. “If only we could go back to the way things were.”
“I thought you would say that.”
Frondier smiled and moved the black cloth with needle-like delicacy.
* * * When
all the injected mana was taken out, the relaxed man lost consciousness.
His face, breathing gently, seemed to have fallen into a peaceful sleep for the first time in a very long time.
The body and blood vessels that had swelled due to the experiment were still there, but that was not Frondier’s domain.
“Whoa.”
After finishing the operation, Frontier let out a long sigh. I have never done such detailed work using black cloth. Moreover, the burden became even greater knowing that people’s lives were at stake.
‘My fingertips are shaking.’
Frondier looked at his hands. It’s not violent, but the gentle tremors don’t stop.
If you think about it, you accomplished a lot today. My body and mind were in tatters.
“Okay then.”
Still, there was still work left to do, so Frondier turned his head and looked in a certain direction.
“That guy is left.”
Frontier trotted towards Angus.
“Hey man.”
Frondier spoke to Angus, but Angus was staring blankly at Frondier.
Instead of answering, he rather asked a question.
“…did you just drain the mana?”
“….”
“Did you eliminate the side effects by draining the mana?”
Angus looked at Frontier in disbelief. Frondier remained silent, but Angus’ eyes gradually began to glow with life.
“Wow, it’s perfect! You are the perfect person to help me with my experiments! “If you completely remove a person’s original mana and then administer a mana injection, you can create the strongest human weapon with no side effects!”
Angus raised his trembling hands. The fragments of the antidote that had been shattered by Dier were lodged deep in his body, causing considerable pain, but he forced himself up and stretched out his hand toward Frondier.
“Please help me. If you have that ability, even a perfect human weapon is not a dream. If that happens, this will be one step towards reclaiming the territory, which is the dream of all mankind…!”
Chin –
Angus’s hands grabbed Frondier’s shoulders. He looked at Frontier with eager eyes.
Dier and Elin, who were watching, had nothing to say and just watched Angus silently.
Frondier looked at Angus’ earnest eyes for a moment and then smiled.
“…I see.”
Frondier nodded as if he was thinking about something.
“By injecting mana into humans, making them more powerful, pushing out the monsters outside and restoring the human realm. It’s a really big dream. “If you really do that, everyone will look up to you as a hero.”
“Isn’t that right? No! At that time, not only me, but you too will be like that. Because your abilities are what the plan needs the most! You can become a hero! “If you have that ability, there will be no need for people to die anymore.”
“That’s the problem.”
Shhh!
“Big!”
A black cloth flew in and tied Angus’ arms and legs to the floor. He was stuck to the floor like a frog about to be dissected.
“While making mana injections that are harmless to humans and giving birth to the human weapons of our dreams.”
Frontier’s cold eyes looked down at Angus.
“How many people did you kill?”
