The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 234

Chapter 74: The Devil (7)

“…You almost got hit?”

Monty asked back, as if he was skeptical about my words. His face looked like he was joking.

If you look at the battlefield, it looks like I am overwhelming the enemy, and that is not entirely wrong.

Of course I am prepared to deal with this number of demons. I also did tests against these guys while paying attention to the amount of mana remaining.

However, I have no feeling that it will end like this.

‘Mizonas probably doesn’t know about this situation.’

The demon currently fighting Azier must have been convinced that his minions would soon come out and drop Metamorph or kill me. I will be anxiously awaiting that report.

But if you think about it that way, the strange thing is how Mizonas knew that me and Metamorph had met in the first place.

While they are busy fighting Ajie, will they have time to turn their attention to the entire imperial palace?

‘…That can’t be possible.’

In other words, there is another person behind the scenes watching this fight. The devil that Mizonas said he serves, Satan. He’s probably watching this situation.

“I am leaving here. “I’m slowly reaching my limit.”

“…Limit?”

Lili asked back. It had almost the same expression as Monty.

I shook my head with a tired look.

“yes. There is no end to these guys. I am almost exhausted now. “I trust you, Zodiac, will do the rest.”

And then I turned around and walked back to the imperial palace.

“No hey! hey! “What kind of exhaustion is it after killing a mountain of demons?”

Lili’s absurd tone is heard from behind.

“After killing that many people, exhaustion is inevitable. “Because I’m just a student at Constell!”

I said that and left quickly.

Of course, I couldn’t pretend to be tired while running away like that.

‘First I have to meet Philly.’

I don’t know if the devil who is giving orders to Mizonas and watching the situation is really Satan.

According to my prediction, it is not possible to foresee the entire war situation.

If Satan had been able to see every move within the imperial palace, he would not have been caught in Ajie’s trick of disguising himself as a jailer. Fighting Ajie with your own limbs is an extremely foolish choice.

‘Maybe there’s a trigger. Like when I first met Thanatos.’

Just as Thanatos appeared when we succeeded in making weaving a reality, there will be some kind of trigger here as well.

Perhaps, ‘Me and Metamorph come into contact with each other’ is a strong condition.

Then, we are currently in a chaotic battlefield where demons appear in large numbers and Mizonas is fighting against Ajie.

This would be the best time to fool the devil’s eyes.

‘I can finally see the picture.’

As I progressed so far, I felt that the faint pieces were gradually connecting to each other.

“──Good.”

I arrived at Bartello’s bedroom. Philly is probably here.

Knock-

“This is Frontier. “I’m back now.”

I knocked lightly and spoke through the door.

The emperor’s voice was heard from inside the room, saying, ‘Come in.’

Let me open the door there.

“Stop right there.”

The three Zodiacs waiting in the sleeping quarters were all pointing their swords at me. Of course, there was Ludovic too.

“You probably expected this to happen since you left the Frontier room, right?”

Ludovic said in a nervous voice.

“Prove that you are Frontier.”

“….”

I thought about Ludovic’s words for a moment.

Now they are wondering if I am a fake. Metamorph transforms into me and returns here. I brought that up first.

Before I could do anything, Ludovic said another word.

“I’m just saying this just in case, but you can’t prove it with abilities or strength. We don’t know the limits of a monster’s learning ability. “I could have even copied your technique.”

That is correct. The monster will be able to mimic most powers.

…Well, I haven’t learned it yet, but even if I showed it to them, there’s no way they would believe me.

‘We’re in trouble.’

Prove yourself without using your abilities. It’s not as easy as you think. I didn’t think about it when I left, but I realized that it would be difficult to prove myself to people I had just met.

‘…oh.’

So, as I was thinking about it, my eyes landed on Philly.

Fili was smiling brightly while looking at me. Playfulness overflowed from that smile.

You know what I’m trying to do, right? Fili, who had said that with his eyes, opened his mouth softly.

Oh no way.

“Frondier.”

“…Yes, Your Highness.”

When I answered, Fili’s eyes turned cold.

“It’s fake. Let them kill you.”

Ludovic’s eyes widened.

“Is that true!”

“Wait!”

Damn you.

No matter how I was, my liver didn’t swell that much.

This is not only Fili, but also the Zodiacs, and above all else, Emperor Bartello is lying over there. Moreover, he is not sleeping; his head is tilted to the side and he is looking at me.

Do you mean to say it here?

really?

“Frondier just said Ludovic. Make sure you prove yourself. “I’m giving you a chance.”

Fili’s tone and tone were strict, but his eyes were still holding back laughter.

I had been fighting a demon just now, and there was a little demon in the room laughing scaryly.

Phew. I closed my eyes. I took a deep breath and calmed my body.

And then I took another breath and hesitated to speak, and then hesitated to speak again.

“──Mr. Philly.”

I ended up saying it out loud.

In front of the Zodiacs.

In front of the emperor.

“…Well, what. “Front, what did you just say…?”

“It’s true. Come in, Frontier.”

Leaving Ludovic, who was so shocked that he was stuttering, Fili came over and smiled brightly. She even took my hand and led me inside.

“Hmmmm. After all, when you meet Frontier, you have to listen to its sound. “It’s great to feel younger.”

okay.

I feel like I’m getting old now.

“Have you gone crazy? Frontier?”

“…I think that’s right.”

Ludovic’s words, who had finally come to his senses, were truly accurate.

“…Frondier.”

And then a heavy voice stuck with me.

I looked at Emperor Bartello with great nervousness.

“I feel like I’ve just been given justification to summarily execute you at any time I want. What do you think?”

“…I have nothing to say.”

“If you don’t want to be executed, of course you will work hard for the empire, right?”

“I will give my life and do my best to help this country.”

“Well, that’s right. “It has to be like that.”

What is this?

Is this a couple fraud group?

“So what’s going on? Frontier? “It looks like there are still demons out there.”

Fili asked. You might be wondering why I left the devil outside and came back.

“I have something to tell you, Your Majesty.”

“Can’t we do it here?”

“yes. “You need to move your seat.”

What I’m going to talk about now is about ‘Dragon Heart’ and the dark side.

Even the fact that both of them are currently in the imperial palace is a top secret story.

Of course Philly is guessing what I’m going to say. She nodded willingly.

“great. “We’ll talk as we go.”

“…majesty.”

Ludovic opened his mouth as if he was worried, but Fili waved his hands as if it was no big deal.

“are you okay. The Frondier here is real without a doubt, and with the real Frondier by your side, you have nothing to worry about. at all. even alittle. “It guarantees complete safety.”

Fili defended me with almost a semi-threat. This is my first time receiving such a heavy compliment.

“Let’s go.”

“…yes.”

I hid a deep sigh and left the room with Fili.

No matter how much their skills improved from the past to the present, Philly was still a formidable opponent.

“great. “Where should I go?”

I said what Fili said.

“It’s underground.”

“also. “You’re going to see Dragonheart.”

At those words, I tried to nod but ended up slightly tilting my head.

“…you may not see it.”

* * *

I cleared the complicated path and opened the door to the basement of the imperial palace with Fili.

From here on, no one comes. Go down the long stairs slowly.

“…Frondier.”

“yes.”

“How do you know this road?”

Fili looked at me suspiciously.

“When they led us here, they obviously blindfolded us and spun us around to make us lose our sense of direction. Besides, the route to get here is this complicated in the first place.”

“….”

Now that I think about it, it was like that.

In order to hide the route he took to get here, Fili confused me so I couldn’t read the route.

However, I knew the entire structure of the imperial palace before I came there in the first place. One of the game’s information.

I paused for a moment because I couldn’t explain it.

Fili sighed and shook his head.

“ha. Only this way, Mr. Frondier will soon learn all the secrets of the imperial palace.”

“…I don’t know what to say.”

Besides, I probably know almost all the secrets.

“At this point, there is no other way than to officially bring Frondier into the imperial palace.”

“Please don’t sound scary.”

“why? “Is Aten that bad?”

“Please don’t sound really scary.”

It’s so scary that you can tell it like it is and actually put it into practice.

I forced myself to change the subject.

“…In the end, it all starts with a mana injection.”

“Yes. “On the surface, they seem like separate incidents.”

Fortunately, Philly followed my topic.

“A mana injection is literally an injection that increases mana. As you may have seen, we have reduced the side effects to a level where they are only noticeable and not life-threatening.”

“yes. “After numerous human experiments.”

Due to the human experiments, the laboratory hidden in Constel was eventually discovered and the laboratory was closed along with the evidence I had recorded.

But that stops there. It didn’t even reach the arm’s tail.

“It seems that the female assistant was dissatisfied with that.”

“What? “Are there still any side effects?”

“yes. Unlike Angus, the director of the lab, who wanted money, Ambu seems to really want humans to advance to the next level.”

“So you were trying to find a new method that had absolutely no side effects?”

“yes. But now that the research center is closed, they need new power and knowledge.”

The shadow is on the side of the empire.

They are on the side of the empire, but not on the side of its citizens. Ambu will do anything to become a strong and prosperous empire. Loyalty that has gone awry is loyalty that has gone crazy.

“As you can see, Your Majesty, the imperial palace is currently overrun with demons. How did they get here? “If you could have come here, why didn’t you come until now?”

I don’t know what the demons want, but if they wanted to fight humans, there were many more favorable times.

For me, it would be more appropriate to aim for a time when Ampere and Azier were not around.

Fili thought about my question for a moment and then said.

“Do you mean to say that the devils did not choose when they came here, but that they could not have come any other time than now?”

“yes. “As expected, His Highness Phil has great insight.”

“It’s just the two of us right now, so why don’t you call us by any name?”

That title made me break out in a cold sweat just a moment ago, but the Empress is so shameless.

“Anyway, here are my thoughts. “It wasn’t easy for the demons to come here in the first place, and they needed certain conditions to come.”

“…Ambu is involved in that condition?”

I nodded.

“The devil did not sneak into this world. This is where the door was opened. “Humans open the door for demons to come here. Isn’t there a way to figure this out?”

“…ah.”

At that moment, as if he had guessed, Fili made a sound.

There are many different types of demons, but most stories end in one way.

I said.

“The shadow man made a contract with the devil.”
