The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 236
Chapter 75: The real
“It is a reward for saving all of humanity.”
I laughed. Of course, I laughed because it was ridiculous.
If he was as good as Satan, would the contract be so shameless and shameless?
‘I won’t attack humans, so give me a monster. Since I didn’t attack, I saved the human being.’
These words clearly contain ridicule and contempt for humans. However, Satan is not arrogant and says things like that for no reason.
He wanted me to be angry with that provocation. Because people’s heads don’t work properly when they’re angry.
People do not become stronger by being angry. Because it’s not like a cartoon.
Although anger can give us the courage to take action, the results are rarely better than if we had not been angry.
Behind these shameless words, there is a powerful appeal and threat from Satan himself.
When people become angry at these words, they are ultimately forced into two choices. Should you give in to your anger and reject the offer, or should you endure your anger and accept the offer?
Satan is not the devil of arrogance. Demon of anger. That’s why I know how to use anger.
“I see.”
I nodded at those words.
Although it took a long time for him to affirm Satan’s words, his eyes instead turned cold.
[You are thinking useless thoughts.]
“It is useless. “It’s a very reasonable idea.”
Do you know that Satan is giving me many hints right now?
He came in front of me while trying to form, but I can’t just ignore the feeling of discomfort he felt.
“This is what your proposal means.”
I raised my finger.
“The monster I have now is so powerful that the devil would be prepared to go to war with humanity.”
[…War is ridiculous. To me, humans are like that]
“Second.”
I cut Satan off and extended my second finger.
“You have no way to retrieve the monster now other than handing it to me directly.”
He retrieved all the demons that had flocked here, held Mizonas’ head in one hand, and showed off his power so much while still making a ‘proposal’ to me.
The important thing is not that Satan made a suggestion that bordered on ridicule. The very fact of making a proposal is important. It’s as if he himself revealed that it was inevitable.
“Go ahead and third.”
I raised a third finger to Satan, who suddenly closed his mouth.
“You can’t come here on your own.”
If Metamorph is that important, Satan could just come and take it himself. The gate is open, but why are you sending other demons away and not coming?
Satan had previously recovered tens of thousands of demons at once, and in the process even grabbed Mizonas’ head in his hands.
This is to show off one’s abilities and power, but it is also aimed at creating a certain illusion.
The illusion that Satan himself can intervene in this world. This is to give the illusion that since they have recovered the demons in this world with their own hands, they can attack this world.
However, once I knew his intention, I received information that was completely different from what he had hoped for.
“The Seven Deadly Sins do similar things to the gods.”
[…!]
Satan’s eyes widened. Actually, this is a bit of a scary line for a human in this world to say.
“You guys also need the conditions for ‘Advent’.”
Just as the gods need worship and the formidable energy of the wind to come to this world.
If you become one of the Seven Deadly Sins, you cannot enter this world with a simple devil contract.
‘If you think about it, yes. You can also find information on how to make a contract with the devil in a book, and it was through that book that the shadow man made a contract with the devil. However, in this world, throughout its long history, although demons have been encountered, the Seven Deadly Sins have never appeared.’
The answer is simple.
The Seven Deadly Sins, such as Satan of Anger and Belphegor of Sloth, are not beings that can be met through devil contracts.
“So you’re making such an odd offer. You coward who doesn’t know the subject. You idiot who can’t control his loud mouth and spills out information. You’re an old, ugly bastard who abandons his subordinates to hide his mistakes. “Satan’s name is a waste.”
Fili, instead of Satan, glanced at me as if he was uneasy at my verbal abuse.
Fili might have made a roughly similar inference to me based on Satan’s appearance, but from Fili’s perspective, it would be one of many possibilities.
[….]
Satan quietly listened to what I said and then closed his eyes.
[It’s been a long time.]
The voice he spoke like that oozed life like a well-tempered blade. Indeed, when one becomes one of the Seven Deadly Sins, even one’s life is sharp and refined.
[I can’t believe there are still people who don’t hesitate to say things like that.]
“If they see the way you are now, everyone will mock you.”
[Hehe. I see.]
Satan laughed. Smiled and laughed. The more he did, the more intense and ferocious his life became.
[You have now single-handedly declared war on all demons. By neglecting human life. I can’t go there right now, but when that foundation becomes ruined by the devil’s claws, only then will you realize your mistakes.] “After
becoming a devil, you talk nonsense. Do you at least learn how to bark?”
I said. I felt myself putting life into every single word I spoke.
I don’t know if it will be worse than the devil or if it can stand up to its mighty power. But I couldn’t just ignore what the devil said just now.
“If the devil invades and defiles the human land, is it human’s fault? No. It’s because stupid demons brought in the problem without knowing the subject. “If you commit such an atrocity, you will have nothing to say even if your head is blown off the guillotine in the order you came in.”
Satan looked a little surprised at me. I couldn’t tell if he was surprised by my words or my momentum.
“Satan. Satan, you make fun of your snout as if you alone know all the anger. Humanity cannot afford to waste time on people like you. I can’t afford to be considerate. Try saying that again. On the day that the foul stench of your henchmen enters this land one more time, I will crush your world. The heads of horned things will be smashed with hammers. Things with wings will be torn apart with a sword and played with before being thrown away. I will rip out all your fingernails and toenails and burn you in a furnace starting from your fingertips. On that day, endless lightning will strike your sky and arrows will rain.”
The Seven Deadly Sins: Satan, the devil who exists at the highest level.
These words I tell him will sound like bravado. This warning and threat of mine may not reach their ears.
However, I am conveying this as a prophecy.
“When that time comes, will you, as you said yourself, feel deeply that it is your fault and repent for your mistakes? No. You, who have gone crazy with anger, will cry out and blame me even as I tear your limbs apart. No matter how much you want to bow down to me, Satan. I can see your ugly side so clearly. So don’t be a bitch. Declaration of war? If you like that word so much, say it somewhere. If this continent, the imperial palace, the zodiac, my family, and I are funny, then try something like that. You’re a coward who talks about war and wants to shift responsibility to others. How can you stick your head out like that with nothing but begging words? “Know that it is ugly.”
The world of the game Etius was originally a future that would one day be destroyed. It wasn’t because of the devil, though.
How ridiculous it is that they threaten me, who knows the future, to fear destruction.
I have had that determination for a long time since I came to this world.
Does Satan know that the destruction of mankind is truly far away? So you spit it out without knowing its weight. To me, it’s just ridiculous.
[──Good.]
After hearing all that, Satan quietly opened his mouth.
[Don’t remember everything you said. Yours should be like that too. [Welcome to the not-too-distant future]
Kwadeuk –
I didn’t listen any more and broke the dragon heart. The trick was to hold the black cloth in your hands and hold it together.
Not only did Satan’s figure disappear, but the gate floating above the dragon heart also disappeared.
“Whoa.”
I looked at Satan’s missing spot for a moment and then took a long breath.
Anyway, this is the end of it. The devil is all gone and can’t come back. The monster is now in my workshop. I don’t know if he will rebel against me or not.
“Okay, this is the end. “I’m glad there doesn’t seem to be any major damage to the imperial palace.”
I smiled and looked at Fili.
“….”
For some reason, Fili didn’t respond to anything I said and just looked at me quietly.
It was like looking at a monster.
* * *
After the situation was resolved, the Zodiac and the imperial knights returned after sufficiently investigating the surroundings.
The Zodiacs greeted me one by one as they left. The way he looked at me had definitely changed a little compared to when I first met him.
Among them, the ones that especially changed were Lili and Monty, who asked,
“Frondier, shall we have tea together later?” “Alcohol is okay too!”
“Come to my mansion anytime. “I will give you valuable skills and strength that cannot be learned even in Constell!”
Each said this and left.
I guess he just said it as a greeting. Anyway, it’s nice to be treated favorably.
Afterwards, I sent the Metamorph in the workshop to Roach’s villa, a cabin, using the portal.
Fortunately, he obeyed me obediently, so there was no major problem putting it back into the workshop from the cabin.
Metamorph is officially dead. I can’t leave these dangerous items anywhere, so I’ll have to keep an eye on them inside my workshop for the time being. I can check inside the workshop at any time.
Why did the devil separate me and Metamorph from each other and what was the ‘mistake’ they made?
I was curious about that, but there was something else I needed to do first.
“As long as there is no Dragon Heart, Bartello’s weakened state will remain the same.”
The dragon heart originally enshrined in the imperial palace was planned to be used to restore the emperor’s strength. Of course, it was only recently that I found out that this was the case.
However, as the dragon heart was used as a devil contract, a gate, and the appearance of Satan, the mana ran out. Worst of all, I ended up destroying it.
In the end, I was the one who destroyed the Dragon Heart, so I have some responsibility anyway. That’s why I’m here worrying about Bartello’s recovery—
“…Hmm, no.”
─Actually, doing it is just an excuse and there is something I want to do.
“If this succeeds, it will help you too, right?”
“…?”
I said while looking at Metamorph.
Metamorph was now sitting on the floor, having become something that did not imitate either Aggie or Pascal or anyone else.
No, actually, I don’t know if I’m sitting or what. It completely lost its shape and became a semicircular sphere, just wandering around from time to time.
…To put it simply, it looks exactly the same as the ‘slime’ seen in other games.
“Isn’t that just your true self?”
“….”
Metamorph, who has become a slime, has not said anything since before. Since I’ve quit imitating, I’ve also quit talking. Or that you can’t speak unless you’re human.
“Well, anyway.”
This is not what I’m going to do now.
Crash.
I manipulated the armpit and sprayed black water.
The black sky soon scattered into pieces, drawing some kind of shape. Satan’s figure, dragon heart and open gate.
It is a reproduction of my memories from that time.
“…Yes, obviously the Dragon Heart has lost all its mana.”
I muttered as I looked at the scene recreated by Heukcheon.
From devil contracts to the emergence of Satan. To say that all of this could be done with only Dragon Heart’s mana, the Dragon Heart’s capacity was clearly insufficient.
So how did Dragon Heart survive?
When I had that question, I discovered the heterogeneous mana of Dragon Heart.
‘Dragonheart was the medium of the devil’s contract.’
In other words, the only object in this world that the devil could interfere with was probably the dragon heart.
If so, isn’t the reason Dragon Heart was able to survive because other mana was used to cover it before it was all used up?
Needless to say, that other mana is Satan.
Satan maintained the Dragon Heart in order to use its power to maintain the gate.
That is, to put it another way.
“Can’t I do it too?”
I obtained Helheim’s mana and obtained mana that was much richer and stronger than others.
Of course, this may not be as good as Satan, but after listening to Ajie, I heard that my mana is comparable to that of the devil called ‘Mizonas’.
Of course, I’ve never shown all of my mana to Atjie, so that’s just a guess.
Weaving
Grade – Legendary
Dragon Heart
I weaved a dragon heart before my eyes.
So far I have used Dragon Heart as a method of doping.
Dragon Heart is made with my mana, so if I swallow it, I have to make up for the shortfall with something else as my mana increases. Until now, Penelope’s Cloth has replaced it.
But this time the order is reversed.
Rather than replenishing my mana by eating a dragon heart,
I am filling the empty mana capacity of the dragon heart with my mana.
“Dragon Heart was a ‘mana crystal.’”
Everything I’ve made so far has been nothing but a fake.
As far as Dragon Heart goes, I may be able to create something ‘real’.
