Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 22 Chapter

6 Golem (3)

…just like that.

Edwin hid in the nearby bushes until nightfall.

There has been no movement to search for him within Constel yet.

Edwin controlled his hasty mind and waited patiently.

Eventually, in the quiet darkness when the students returned home in the evening.

If you stay here any longer, you may be caught by other faculty members or janitors. Edwin decided to move.

“Follow me.”

The ground cracked and rainwater poured out. The golem buried under the ground rose up.

I should think about cleaning that dirty body, but that’s a problem for later.

Edwin moved quickly, wary of the instigation.

The decision was made not to encounter anyone even if there was a little noise.

That judgment was correct. Until you pass in front of the training room.

“…omg!”

Edwin saw someone coming out of the entrance to the training room.

I quickly look around, but there is no space to hide.

‘No, just leave.’

Edwin focused his eyesight and saw a figure coming out the entrance to the training room.

It was Elin.

Her eyes were open, but her face was expressionless and out of focus.

‘…sleeping.’

Elin’s sleepwalking is famous within Constell. Of course my friend Edwin knows.

I say that I am not sleepwalking but that I sleep and act simultaneously for efficiency, but other people see it as no different.

‘thank god. Let’s pass carefully.’

Elin, who is like that, almost never wakes up. When I sense a crisis, I wake up on my own, so there’s no need to mess with her now.

Edwin stopped breathing. Reduce the sound of your footsteps as much as possible and slowly move away from Elin’s walking path.

The golem makes louder sounds than Edwin, so you can’t move it much. Still, I won’t run into Elin.

The distance between me and Elin has gotten closer. Edwin saw her approaching with her eyes still frozen.

Elin slowly approached where Edwin was

and passed by.

‘…Whew.’

I let out a silent sigh.

‘Okay, it’s quick to get to the lab from here.’

Edwin tried to move again.

At the end of his vision, Elin was briefly caught as she was leaving.

Edwin froze.

Elin

stood.

A step that must be taken.

A sleep from which I will never wake.

She, who would have just gone her own way if she didn’t sense a crisis, stopped.

The body with its back turned suddenly turned to the side.

Tilt your head and a voice comes out slowly.

“…the smell of blood.”

“!”

Edwin took a deep breath.

Elin’s focus returned. Her eyes sank deeply.

She looked straight at Edwin.

“…you.”

Elin looked at Edwin’s face.

It is not clear as it is shrouded in darkness.

However, you can tell just by smelling the air around him that his expression is cold.

“What did you do?”

Edwin did not answer. Instead, he took a step back.

Elin’s eyes narrow at that sight.

“What is that next to you?”

Elin took a step closer to Edwin.

His right hand is already on the handle of the sword worn at his waist.

Elin glanced at the golem guarding Edwin’s side.

“Is it yours?”

High-quality metal, extremely high level of perfection, and overflowing mana.

Edwin couldn’t have made something like this.

The problem is not his knowledge and skills, but facilities and funds.

“I can smell blood on him.”

Elin’s steps were without hesitation.

As she gradually became closer to Edwin, she saw fear in Edwin’s expression.

This can’t be right.

“…Did you kill someone with that?”

“Oh no!”

“Then why are you begging like a dog that pooped?”

Hostility blooms from Elin’s body.

No matter what mistakes Edwin did, Elin can forgive him. She is Edwin’s friend and trusts him.

However, if you kill someone and it is a murder using a golem, and you try to hide it.

“Edwin. “I’ll ask again.”

Elin took out her sword.

The blade, clearly reflecting the moonlight, is as cold as her eyes.

“What did you do with that?”

“…I was just thinking.”

Edwin’s eyes wandered here and there as if he was running away from something.

“I just thought I shouldn’t get caught, but this golem killed the ‘Aktober’ guys arbitrarily…”

“…killed them arbitrarily?”

“no! “I didn’t kill you!”

“Are you sure?”

Edwin kept his mouth shut.

Elin’s eyes became infinitely cold.

“Whose golem is that?”

“….”

“You arbitrarily took something that wasn’t yours, used it to assault someone, ran away without checking whether they were dead or not, and tried to secretly hide the golem?”

Every word of Elin became like a knife and pierced Edwin.

Edwin bit his lip. I couldn’t make a single excuse.

“Has it really fallen? Edwin.”

“…! “Say something like that!”

Huung Golem rushed towards Elin. He grabbed the spear he was holding with both hands and cut it horizontally.

Elin stepped back with a light movement.

“…Edwin.”

“….”

Edwin was so surprised that he just stared blankly.

If Elin had been hit by the attack just now, she would definitely have died.

Did I really want that?

Even the shadow under my feet in the moonlight is dizzying. It feels like the darkness keeps creeping up from under my feet and invading me.

“It seems like the golem moves on its own if you really think about it. “That’s too much.”

Elin actually became calm due to the golem’s attack just now.

My thoughts changed a little.

─That golem is not normal.

You don’t think Edwin really wants to kill you. Even if you think like that, this kind of attack is not like Edwin.

If that facial expression isn’t acting, even he himself is confused by the golem’s movement.

“Stop Edwin Golem.”

“What what?”

“Tell them to disarm. “You don’t want to make any more mistakes, right?”

“That’s right.”

Edwin came to his senses.

Yes, you can disable it. If that happens, the golem won’t move as if it had read his thoughts.

Why didn’t I think of that until now?

Edwin stretched out his hand towards the golem- …

and looked at Elin, not yet conscious.

“…Elin.”

“why?”

“Are you going to tell someone else?”

“….”

Edwin’s appearance right now is so unfamiliar to Elin that she is rather embarrassed.

Where has the just and strong-willed Edwin she knew gone?

Although he may be a bit timid, he is very considerate and never falls down even if his posture is lowered without my knowledge.

Where is Edwin, who did not pay attention to methods that deviated even slightly from the norm?

“…Edwin.”

“Answer me!”

“….”

“If this golem kills a lot of people, I’m finished. “Just stealing a golem is dangerous, but if you kill someone, I’m completely done.”

Edwin suddenly withdrew his outstretched hand towards the golem.

I have no intention of releasing it.

Rather, Edwin tried to persuade Elin.

“Just pretend you didn’t see it and move on.”

“….”

“We are friends, Elin. If this gets caught, you know what will happen to me. “Please don’t make me a murderer.”

Elin slowly and deeply closed her eyes at those words.

ah.

Edwin von Behertio. You really have changed.

“It’s not for me to decide whether you are a murderer or not. “You don’t know whether those people are really dead or not.”

“right? therefore.”

“And”

Elin grabbed her sword and took a stance. Any further conversation was meaningless.

“It’s not up to you to decide. Edwin.”

With those words, Elin’s spirit fully entered into battle.

Edwin looked at that figure blankly.

Although Elin had been cold a while ago, she was at least angry at her friend.

Reprimand and advice to a friend. Such was the coldness of youth.

But now, Elin’s personal feelings have all disappeared. They just see Edwin as an enemy.

“…Elin!!!”

When Edwin shouted, the golem kicked the ground in response.

The heavy body flew towards Elin like an arrow.

Sharp sting.

Elin avoided it and found an opening.

‘…Tch.’

The golem’s spear technique was accurate.

The gap after the stab had already disappeared as soon as she dodged it.

‘Is it also a golem? I don’t believe in my own durability or defense. It just does what it receives.’

If the golem had been a living creature, such gaps would have been easily detected. Because individuals with strong bodies usually rely on it.

‘The odds of me winning are slim. This golem is probably the work of some teacher.’

In terms of swordsmanship, Elin is the top class in all of Constell. That’s why her younger brother Aster has never defeated her in a mock battle.

So, her swordsmanship is not inferior to the Golem’s spear skills.

Just a difference in power.

Even if that golem only focuses on defense, it will easily block attacks loaded with Elin’s mana.

Even if I poke through the gap, I don’t know if I’ll be able to inflict proper damage.

‘We have to finish quickly.’

When you still have mana to spare.

You must make a critical hit with just one attack.

Coo!

The golem chased Elin with heavy steps.

After making up her mind, Elin went on the defensive.

Find a gap in the golem’s attack and aim for a single attack.

The golem persistently chased after Elin, who was avoiding her.

The golem, which flies through the air every time it stomps its feet, makes the viewer sick of it.

However, if the opponent moves exactly as you entered,

“Whoo.”

Elin dropped the knife slightly from her body.

A gap created intentionally.

If it were a human, the gap would be too obvious, but if it was a golem, it would definitely attack this gap. It must have been entered that way.

With the sound of the wind wrapped around his shoulders, the golem strikes down his spear from above.

Elin brought the blade forward and hit its side against the spear.

As the spear and blade came together, her eyes lit up.

Evans’s weaponry.

Elin Evans’ unique swordsmanship.

One yarn.

Her sword, wrapped in aura, climbs up the spear pole and draws a straight line.

At the end of this orbit is the golem’s neck.

A straight line leading there is stretched cleanly as if it were measured with a ruler.

‘Okay…!’

Taang!

However, the orbit deviated midway.

Elin lost her sword.

A move that neutralizes the opponent’s attack by lightly releasing the force entering the spear and then causing rotation and impact at the same time. Elin has seen this almost mysterious technology.

The thought of

‘…this technology is of senior Ajie’ was momentary.

She lost her sword and has no way to block the golem’s attack.

The golem quickly pulls back the spear and stabs Elin as if splitting the moment.

“Ugh!”

Elin twisted her body with all her might.

There was a long wound on Joo Wook’s side. The force was so strong that it rolled around on the floor. It smells like dirt, but then the taste of blood fills my mouth.

“Elin! “Give up!!”

Edwin’s voice is heard from afar.

Damn.

One day, a friend I trusted suddenly got sick. That fact alone made all the sleep I had lost disappear.

I also have a pain in my side.

“Elin!!”

As if responding to Edwin’s words, the golem slowly approached.

The tip of the spear was pointed downwards at her lying on the floor.

When the golem stood in front of her, the spear was already high up, right above it like a guillotine.

‘Edwin. ‘I didn’t know you would end up like this.’

If you really kill Elin here.

If that happens, Edwin crosses a path of no return.

You stupid bastard.

The golem dropped the spear without waiting for Edwin’s command.

Elin closed her eyes.

──Kagang Suddenly, a metallic sound was heard.

“…uh?”

When Elin opened her eyes, the golem’s spear had missed her and was stuck in the ground.

why?

Elin didn’t understand for a moment.

Did you disrupt the window’s trajectory? how?

It is reasonable to assume that something was thrown, but there is nothing around. Even the golem himself didn’t seem to understand.

The golem moved its gaze somewhere and

boom!

He lifted his chin.

Quack!

Cough!

Every time that kind of harsh metallic sound was heard, the golem’s head swayed back and forth.

It definitely looked like something had hit him.

Something invisible to Elin’s eyes repeatedly struck the golem’s face.

“What! Golem! come here!”

Edwin must have felt uneasy about the unknown attack and called the golem.

The golem leapt and stayed by Edwin’s side.

And an unfamiliar voice heard from far away.

“Wow, the distance has increased. “The training was worthwhile.”

Elin looked in the direction the voice came from.

There was a man there.

His shoulders were shaking as if he had arrived in a hurry, and his first voice was accompanied by heavy breathing.

Eyes reflecting the moonlight look at Elin.

A relieved smile. That small smile brightens the darkness of the evening.

‘…ah.’

Although it was an unsuitable thought in this urgent situation.

Elin thought about it.

‘I thought we’d meet someday.’

This is how we meet.

Frontier de Roach.
