Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 24
Chapter 6 Golem (5)
The golem has now completely ignored Edwin’s will. The attack goes ahead regardless of Edwin’s hesitation or guilt.
“Now wait a minute! stop!”
As if Edwin couldn’t hear even if he shouted. It seems like he is hearing a voice that far exceeds his authority as the ‘owner’.
Quang! bang! Quaaaang!
The ground is dug up by the reckless swing of the spear blade. Unlike before, the movement was very different from Ajie’s spear technique.
However, that ignorance has tremendous speed and power, so it is not easy to take advantage of it.
If you can make it stop for just a moment, now is the perfect opportunity –
When the golem’s arm, which was swinging recklessly
at that time , raised to the sky once again,
a crack!
The sword stuck in the golem’s arm.
‘Ellin’s sword!’
Elin threw the sword.
A handful of health and mana that I collected and saved while fighting. One move that wiped it all away.
It may be too much for me, but from Elin’s perspective, such an ignorant attack was very easy to read.
A gap that cannot be missed.
I held the necklace. A necklace of black jewels given by Queenie.
This necklace has the property of absorbing liquid when it comes into contact with it. So, to put the liquid inside, just place the necklace on it.
In addition, there is a space expansion magic attached, so it takes more than it looks.
So how do you take it out?
It’s simpler.
Crack.
Stop breaking it.
Weaving (織造) Heukcheon (黑川).
Grade – Legendary
Gram
Black Heaven The pitch-black liquid takes shape in an instant and resides in both my hands. Sigurd’s sword Gram is held in my hand.
Dizziness and fatigue pouring in at the same time. This means that mana exhaustion is approaching.
I struck down the sword straight into the sky.
However, the attack was a little late and the spear blade that the golem fired in haste collided with each other.
At the moment of contact, the blades that touched each other did not make a sound.
“…!”
At that moment,
I saw the golem’s purple haze.
What I thought had a shape now took on a clear shape and
I made eye contact with it.
[Do you understand why you have neither divine power nor talent?]
[You fearlessly imitate the hero’s weapon.]
[All gods will curse you. You vulgar thing.]
That voice was heard in frozen time.
I guessed its identity.
The haze that moved from Edwin to the golem.
The manipulator who corrupted Edwin.
The irresponsible power that gave him the golem and made him carry the burden of sin.
──Now it’s finally revealed.
Hephaestus.
[I saw that technique before.]
[What can I do with a technique that only allows 3 seconds?]
I saw it before.
It was like that too.
I thought it was strange that I suddenly ran into a slave in a low-level dungeon.
It was your doing.
Is that what it says? Time moved again.
At that time, the golem’s spear moved strangely.
Crackling firewood produces a burning sound and causes rotation and impact at the same time.
Pingrrr –
Gram left my hand and flew through the air.
Atjie’s technique.
A mysterious move that makes the opponent lose his weapon by clashing weapons with him.
‘fall’.
“ah!”
Elin’s short cry was heard from afar.
It completely deflects the opponent’s conversion attack and even makes them drop their weapons. No one but Aji could do something like this. If the golem’s model is Azi, this is a skill that is definitely coveted.
So I
knew this technology was coming from the beginning.
Hissing Golem’s spear shot at me again. I immediately ducked and dodged the spear.
I had already let go of Gram before the golem struck. Thanks to this, I was able to maintain my body balance and avoid the spear.
This kind of evasion is a dead end if you are dealing with Ajie.
It works for you.
You fake.
Gram, spinning in the air, was still alive and well.
The weave does not unravel. 3 seconds have already passed.
That’s all Hephaestus knows. The belief that Gram will disappear in 3 seconds.
However, I continued to practice mana depletion and wore the ring that Queenie gave me.
‘I added 2 more seconds there, idiot.’
Hold the falling gram in your hand and point the blade upward from the bottom.
What I do is just imitation. Just like the golem in front of you.
If Ajie had seen it, he would have clicked his tongue and felt pitiful.
But the enemy is a copy of Ajie.
‘Then you have to be prepared to get hit with this.’
Ajie’s basic
spear technique, frontier-style sword technique, modified
diagonal
slash!
The diagonal line that Gram draws.
The golem dropped its stomach exactly along that line.
* * *
Clap.
The sound of metal is harsh.
The golem, which had looked like a ferocious monster just a moment ago, made a sound like an empty can when it was cut down.
I stood with my shoulders slumped.
…won.
Once I realized that, I could finally hear my heartbeat.
“Huh… Huh….”
Both hands are shaking. Mana exhaustion was serious.
Even if I increased it by 2 seconds, did I spend more time than I thought? Or did I consume more mana without realizing it?
Gram had already returned to the Black River and flowed down.
The sound of glass hitting each other. The broken necklace came together on its own and regained its original appearance.
The necklace Quinier gave me has restoration magic embedded in it.
In other words, if you want to use Black Heaven in the future, you must destroy this necklace, and when the necklace returns to restoration magic, you can fill it with Black Heaven.
Quinier gave me some really good stuff.
The name of the necklace was ‘Black Lotus’.
“…Now now.”
I forced myself to raise my face, which wasn’t even moving properly.
There is still a purple haze left over from killing the golem.
Hephaestus.
One of the 12 gods of Olympus. God of blacksmiths and flames.
Was my ‘weaving’ so disapproving in the eyes of the man who heated metal and made weapons?
[You deserve to die.]
Hephaestus’s boiling voice is heard.
You still have a mouth.
[Don’t be fooled into thinking you won. You couldn’t even make a scratch on me.]
What should I do? I didn’t intend to make a dent in the first place. Why does God keep interfering with what humans do?
[Next time it ends like this]
When Hephaestus spoke that far.
I seemed to meet Hephaestus’ eyes.
The shape of the purple haze was faint.
“…Ugh?”
At that moment, I saw a scene.
A lame man is standing. He was handing something to a woman.
Is that a bow and arrow? My eyes capture those two images in the ‘workshop.’
But who is that woman?
The lame man is clearly Hephaestus. However, he cannot believe that he is handing the bow he made to a woman
–
[You bastard!!]
The scenery disappears and Hephaestus’ words remain.
[What did you see! How dare you do something to the past of a god!]
Hephaestus is visibly embarrassed.
I laughed out loud. It looks like it didn’t even make a scratch.
[How much do you have to defy the gods to be satisfied──]
Unlike Hephaestus’ angry tone, his voice gradually faded.
That means it won’t be able to continue to exist because there’s nowhere to put its spiritual power.
“…go away.”
My voice was dry.
I felt like I was pouring out my fatigue in my voice.
After Hephaestus’ voice completely disappeared.
I was standing in the quiet sound of the wind.
“…Frondier.”
I turned my head. Elin was standing next to him.
It was wrapped around his side, but he seemed to have recovered a lot.
“What will Edwin do?”
Elin’s voice is as languid as always. It makes me even more sleepy.
Edwin just sat down where he had originally been standing.
There seemed to be no need to worry about him as Hephaestus’ interference was gone.
“…Senior Edwin is okay.”
“…okay.”
Elin nodded quietly.
She also seemed to know what I meant.
* * *
For Elin, that scene will probably be one of the moments she will never forget even if she dies.
At some point, a sword was born in both hands of a boy. With that sword, the boy cut down the golem.
The scene that was like magic right up until the moment of cutting.
And after the fight was over, the boy just stood still.
My hands start to cramp and my whole body shakes with every little movement.
Those eyes that are looking somewhere shine brightly even after the fight is over.
The face looks as if it is full of fatigue and exhaustion, but the eyes look as if they are looking somewhere.
Elin stood up and walked.
His appearance bathed in moonlight is unbelievably beautiful. So, to see if it was real, Elin walked.
“…Frondier.”
called his name.
Frondier looked at Elin.
-What will Edwin do?
– Senior Edwin is okay.
Even as such conversations took place, Elin still felt like she was talking to a fantasy.
Even though he is looking at Frondier,
even though Frondier is looking at him.
So Elin solved the biggest question.
“…Why did you save me?”
You don’t know me.
Even if you knew, it wouldn’t be a reason worth risking your life for.
The moment that protected her.
A voice shouted to Edwin.
A fight like you’ve never seen before.
All of that came to me like a dream.
Frontier.
Who are you?
“…You are a person who should not die.”
After saying those words, Frondier
leaned over.
“…!”
Elin received the unbalanced body.
Finally, Frondier changed from fantasy to reality and was held in Elin’s arms.
Breathing evenly.
A peaceful face meets her gaze without boundaries.
“….”
Elin took a stab at his face for no reason.
Clear texture.
Elin blinked a few times and let out a sigh-like sigh.
Those languid eyes capture the moonlight.
Elin smiled.
“He who sleeps is heavy.”
It was a bit out of character for her.
* * *
…When I regained consciousness, I was in the nurse’s office.
I quietly opened my eyes.
A teacher in a white coat was sitting next to me.
It was a graceful face. Her brown hair is lightly wavy, and her calm gaze touches the tips of her long eyelashes.
I know who she is.
Malia de Roach. Constell’s health teacher.
But the information that is much more important to me is the fact that she is Frontier’s mother.
‘…What do we do.’
Naturally, I have never spoken to Malia.
Malia is not at Roach Manor.
Malia’s position as health doctor is for the students to see, and her main job is magic research.
Malia spends most of her time there as her laboratory has fully equipped sleeping facilities.
She was quietly reading a book.
…Shall I surprise you?
If we lighten the mood like that, wouldn’t we be able to let the conversation go by?
As I was about to open my mouth like that.
Malia opened her mouth just as she was looking at the book.
“Good morning? Frontier.”
“…How did you know?”
“There’s nothing Mom doesn’t know.”
…I guess it was a joke, right?
For some reason, it seems real and scary.
“My girlfriend brought me here. “Thank me later.”
…girl friend?
Oh, you mean Elin?
“I’m not your girlfriend.”
“Mom is happy. “Actually, looking at my son’s face, I think it might be too late.”
Are you listening?
“Hey mom. “Are there any other boys here besides the girl?”
“Oh yeah.”
Malia nodded.
Her indifferent and calm expression certainly resembles that of Frondier, who has a languid expression.
“I turned myself in.”
“…yes?”
“They all said that they stole the golem and inflicted violence on the students. Even now, if you turn on the news, you’ll see it, right? “Do you want to see it?”
“Oh no.”
Malia’s voice is somewhat tense.
“Is there anyone who died?…”
“They say there is none. What a relief. “It has also been confirmed that students gathered together intentionally to harass the boy, so I don’t think the punishment will be severe.”
At those words, I felt relieved and buried my head on the pillow.
I see After all, Edwin was Edwin.
Without Hephaestus’ interference, he was still the Edwin I knew.
‘…Hephaestus.’
A sight that Hephaestus showed me, or rather, a sight that I spied on my own.
bow and arrow.
─As expected, it is definitely the ‘Bow of Artemis’.
A set of bows and arrows are stored in my ‘workshop’. To weave it, you will need mana equal to or greater than Gram’s.
And one more thing.
‘…weaving two weapons ‘simultaneously’. I need to learn it quickly.’
I can still only weave one item at a time.
Therefore, when fighting the golem, I had a hard time having to throw the dagger only once.
I won in the end, but my mana allowance was very limited, so I fainted.
And best of all,
if you can weave Artemis’ bow and arrows.
You will have to hold each of them in both hands.
