The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 245

Chapter 77: Promise (2)

There was no time to reply to Elodie’s words.

“Ugh!”

My body naturally rose and flew backwards.

Slam!

The cabin door behind me opened and slammed shut as soon as I was put in.

“Elodie! Elodie!!”

I tried as hard as I could to open the cabin door, but it wouldn’t budge.

I wonder if this is what the people trapped in my workshop felt like. Of course, unlike the door in my workshop, this is a real door and is just locked.

But as a child now, it was impossible for me to open it with force.

“Elodie!”

I moved to my seat and headed to the window. I saw Elodie confronting a huge monster through the window.

Elodie slowly rose in the air and took out two magic spells in each hand like she showed me earlier. Of course, it was a high level of skill, but it seemed so small compared to the monster that confronted him.

Easy profit!!

The monster’s tentacles moved first. A bunch of tentacles that are honestly meaningless to count. Each one of them hardened into a sharp spear and aimed at Elodie.

Quang! Kwaaaang!

First, they hit the magic barrier set up by Elodie, and the remaining ones flood back in.

“Hmph!”

The tentacles burn on Elodie’s left hand and freeze on her right hand. Elodie’s magic seemed to be effective, but compared to the ones she could kill one by one, there were a lot more tentacles left and the speed was faster.

Whi profit!

Elodie flew around, avoiding the tentacles. As you widen the distance, eliminate the attacking tentacles one by one. It was a fairly familiar movement.

‘…It’s definitely a better skill than in the past.’

This is Elodie’s dream. No matter how young Elodie has become, her strength is now at a considerable level. It must be the result of a combination of magic and imagination. Elodie is using her powers as best as she can imagine and believes she is capable of.

One that moment.

“…under.”

I was so dumbfounded that I let out a laugh that resembled a sigh.

The hundreds of eyes on the monster’s entire body suddenly widened, and the pupils slowly began to glow.

Qua—ah—ah—!

As expected, those glowing eyes shot beams from all directions and narrowed the distance towards Elodie like a noose.

No matter how quickly Elodie moved, there was no way to escape the place where there was no room for movement.

“Ugh!”

Elodie wrapped herself around herself. He surrounds himself with a magic barrier that he created while maintaining distance, and overlaps it in two and three layers.

Twist

it up!!

The monster’s beam shattered like a sheet of paper and dealt a merciless blow to the young body.

Sigh! Quaaaaaaaaa!

Elodie fell to the floor after being hit by the beam, and as if that wasn’t enough, the monster poured beams from its eyes on Elodie, who was lying flat on the floor.

“Elodie! Elodie!!!”

…I am watching it truly peacefully from inside the cabin.

Because I was a child, I couldn’t leave this place, so Elodie pushed me here and locked the door.

I am enjoying the indulgence that has been set up so appropriately.

Thump!

One of its tentacles stretched out like a grip and grabbed Elodie’s leg. And then lifted it up.

Elodie seemed to have lost the strength to resist and was hanging limply in the air.

Whoop, whoop,

whoop, he threw Elodie around. It wasn’t an attack or an attempt to kill. There was no need to check whether he had fainted or not.

I was just playing with it. Elodie.

Suddenly

, Elodie dropped to the floor as if she had lost interest and rolled over, turning her face towards me.

Elodie looked up to the cabin window and made eye contact with me.

He smiled softly and lowered his head as if he was relieved that I was still there. And then my

senses

were lost.

Quang!

A black sky that wasn’t there before came into my body. At almost the same speed as it came back to me, Heukcheon blew down the door of the cabin.

I left the cabin door and walked towards the monster without hesitation.

“Menosorpho!!”

Menosorpo

Air Weaving Simultaneous Replication

Opening the entire

imperial palace armory

I shouted without thinking and the magic circle unfolded to its maximum size.

The weapon carved its presence in the air and sparkled in the light of the Milky Way of the sun and moon extending far into the sky.

Jiying—

The monster’s eyes turned to me. Hundreds of eyes were on me. Numerous tentacles turned their heads toward me and trembled.

“How dare you not even become this hybrid…!”

My weapons were aimed at him in accordance with my anger.

I will take this opportunity to personally count how many of your tentacles are sticking to you—

“…Huh? Ffrontier!”

At that time, Elodie, who seemed to have lost consciousness for a moment, raised her head and looked at me.

That moment.

“under…?”

All the weapons I made are gone. Menosorpo and Heukcheon were nowhere to be found.

At the same time, the huge monster in front of me that was staring at me as if I was going to kill him at any moment also disappeared.

“Ugh.”

I lost strength and collapsed.

I thought Mana had returned, but suddenly he returned to the body of an incompetent boy. I felt dizzy, as if my mana had suddenly disappeared.

“Fron! are you okay?”

Elodie approached me. Even though he wasn’t feeling well, he was walking eagerly towards me.

‘…I’m getting better.’

Even with that thought, the wounds on Elodie’s body gradually disappeared. Rather than saying it has healed, it disappears as if it were being erased with an eraser. At first, there didn’t seem to be any serious injuries.

‘I see. ‘Is the injury as bad as young Elodie can imagine?’

Actually, if you think about it, it’s surprising that even after being hit by such a ridiculous attack, he only lost consciousness for a moment. I saw with my own eyes that the magic barrier was broken.

‘is it. ‘I got my mana back.’

Is it because Elodie lost consciousness for a moment? It may seem a bit absurd to lose one’s mind in a dream, but Elodie was outside of my consciousness for a moment. In other words, the role assigned to me disappeared.

And it’s probably not supposed to be a fight between me and that monster inside Elodie. So the monster that confronted me also disappeared.

A monster only for her to fight and for her to defeat.

Although he tries to resist with all his might, he is still defeated due to the overwhelming power gap, suffers even more pain, and is finally thrown around on the ground as if he is being ridiculed.

That series of processes.

‘Is it really impossible to win?’

You’re fighting a monster of your own imagination, and you can’t defeat it. I didn’t understand it. One thing actually came true.

In other words, that monster is not Elodie’s ‘imagination’. Something a little different than that. Elodie is digging in, unable to resist or avoid it.

‘…trauma.’

I bit my lip.

‘That monster is Elodie’s trauma.’

Although Elodie herself created it.

Now she can’t get rid of it, deal with it, or stop her imagination.

He is the natural enemy of the girl Elodie.

And perhaps killing that monster is the way out of this dream.

* * *

Elodie and I entered the cabin.

Elodie was making a fuss as she looked around my body to see if there were any injuries.

“…Sorry.”

Those were the words that Elodie finally spoke with her face down.

Very different from reality, Elodie’s habit of speaking in the dream was ‘I’m sorry’.

“I didn’t know the cabin door would break. “I thought it would be a little more sturdy.”

I broke it.

Elodie seemed to think that the monster was going to attack me by opening the cabin door.

one.

“…Elodie.”

“It’s absolutely safe inside the Pron cabin. Even if the door is open, you must not come out.”

“Elodie.”

“That monster will retreat on its own after it defeats me, so just wait a little longer—.”

“Elodie.”

I grabbed both of Elodie’s hands and raised them in front of my eyes. Only then did Elodie’s small head rise and look at me.

“You saw it too.”

“….”

“No matter who opened the cabin door or you didn’t see it, there are countless weapons floating in the sky.”

“…I am.”

“I’m not going to say I didn’t see it.”

The reason my weaving and ability disappeared was because Elodie thought, ‘That can’t be possible.’

In other words, it disappeared because she witnessed it.

“That’s my ability.”

“….”

At my words, Elodie rolled her eyes here and there as if she was troubled.

Even if I were to say this to Elodie now, she wouldn’t understand. Anyway, I can’t use my powers unless she trusts me.

Therefore, I decided to tell Elodie a lie that was a little easier to accept.

“This is an ability I will gain in the future.”

“future?”

Elodie’s eyes widened at my words.

“huh. It’s my first time using it, but I think it’s a future ability. “It felt like I was borrowing in advance the power I would use later.”

This is Elodie’s dream.

No matter how absurd the words may be, it is possible as long as Elodie is convinced.

There just happens to be a good excuse here.

“Maybe that’s why it disappeared after just a few seconds. “You saw it too, right?”

“…Oh, that’s why… I see.”

Of course, Elodie erased it herself, but she didn’t know she was in a dream and added to her imagination.

It must be one of the contradictions of the dream that the weapons I created suddenly disappear and disappear as if the monster had been cancelled.

Since I am resolving the contradiction myself, Elodie will easily understand.

“Look, Elodie. “I have abilities too.”

“…huh.”

Elodie nodded as if relieved by my words.

however.

“So let’s kill that monster together.”

In my words.

In an instant, his face turned pale and he waved his hands and shook his head.

“That’s not possible!”

“why?”

“You are too dangerous. Frontier. That monster is strong. “No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t even reach that monster!”

“So we should fight together.”

“Oh no. no. That can’t be happening. “If you get hurt, I…”

I felt a strange sensation at that sight.

Elodie is overprotecting Frondier. I understand that feeling.

I instinctively sensed Frontier’s inferiority and jealousy and knew that he was consumed by guilt about it.

…but all of them.

‘Elodie didn’t know at that time.’

They say that the Elodie in front of me right now looks like a girl.

In reality, Elodie did not go back to the past.

At first, when I saw Elodie shrinking in reality, I thought it was that way. I realized this while watching Elodie apologize.

Elodie, who trembles with this guilt, is not the girl she was back then. This is the current Elodie herself.

Of course. Elodie, who was young at the time, did not know. Frondier’s jealousy, inferiority, and hatred of Elodie. Therefore, Elodie proudly boasted to Frondier and eagerly told him what she knew.

…This dream is Elodie’s apology for Frondier. It is a manifestation of sin.

—I didn’t mean it that way. Sorry. Because I am not good at speaking. I wanted to convey it well. I don’t want to make you feel bad.

Elodie is practicing how to better convey her feelings to Frondier. Towards the role she created called Frontier.

This is something I can’t tell the current Frontier. Even if I said it, it was meaningless.

That is why young Elodie apologizes to young Frondier.

Even if it’s in a dream.

Even if it’s a fake created by Elodie.

‘…It’s fake.’

A wry smile spread across my face at that thought.

Some people may feel that these actions that Elodie is doing in her dreams are truly worthless.

In the end, I finally witnessed it.

Elodie’s apology.

I saw and heard endless repetition of apologies that did not need to be apologized.

Me, not Frontier.

I am fake.

“…Elodie.”

Perhaps I am committing a sin.

Pretending to hear the apology that the real Frontier did not hear.

“Sorry.”

On behalf of Frontier, I deliver an apology that he did not even offer.

“I’ve been jealous of you for a long time.”
