The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 257

Chapter 80 Embers (7)

Belphegor entered a large cavity. When he stepped in, all of Mangot’s main personnel except him had already gathered.

They focused their attention on Belphegor as if they had been waiting, and Belphegor sat on a chair in front of the huge round table without any reaction.

“Let’s start the meeting.”

Belphegor said, and Hagley stood still behind him.

“I will report to you.”

The woman sitting across from Belphegor opened her mouth.

“The advent is expected to be completed within a week. “The believers are all fine, and the combatants are all shadowed as they were previously deployed.”

“It’s been a week… It’s really relaxing. Our God.”

The devil mocks God. Since no one had the upper hand, there was no one who could respond to Belphegor’s words.

“How are the movements of the imperial palace?”

“Nothing particularly suspicious was reported.”

Hmm, Belphegor’s eyes looked down for a moment.

“Osprit must have seen this way, but it’s also unpleasant that he’s so still.”

“I think they are carrying out behind-the-scenes work to avoid causing anxiety among the citizens of the empire.”

“It’s okay. Still back off. As expected, the empire is looking down on Mangot.”

A smile appears on Belphegor’s lips.

“Indus became a good precedent. Thanks to their cold fall, the empire is even ignorant of our strength. “The desire for revenge and anger will be appropriately expressed.”

This time everyone nodded.

“Have you confirmed the emperor’s appearance?”

Another question. However, the woman who was reporting immediately paused for a moment.

“It hasn’t been seen recently.”

“Doesn’t this mean that the weakness I put on is having an effect?”

“Just a few days ago, he showed up to nobles to show that he was in good health, even if he looked weak, but recently he suddenly appears to have disappeared into the imperial palace.”

Belphegor’s expression turned cold at that report.

A strong, muscular man next to me said.

“Isn’t it because the effect of Belphegor’s weakness worked so well that he couldn’t come out at all?”

“no. My curse doesn’t get worse or better. Because in the first place, a curse was placed so that the emperor could always be seen. If you showed yourself yesterday, the day before that, and the day before that, you must show yourself today too. “If that’s not the case, it means that a variable has arisen.”

“Are they really trying to cure weakness?”

“Maybe so.”

Belphegor crossed his arms and thought for a moment.

‘A dragon heart said to be sleeping inside the imperial palace. ‘It’s the only way to overcome my curse.’

But that dragon heart would have been used to summon a demon. The reason Satan did not descend in the end was because the gate opened to the other world was closed, meaning he destroyed Dragonheart.

The biggest reason why Belphegor and Mangot took action this time was because it was clear that Dragonheart had been destroyed.

‘How did that bastard Satan handle things?’

Haha, Belphegor’s sigh becomes deeper.

“First, take a close look at the emperor’s appearance. Let’s invest a little more people and time there. Even if I get caught, it’s okay. “They are the ones who are late anyway.”

“yes.”

The woman who reported it nodded.

After she sat down, the man next to her stood up as if waiting for his turn.

“I confirmed that some Zodiacs have moved the Order. It is unclear whether they received a request or were sent to defend the wall. “It may have predicted our movements.”

“The prediction was correct. Ospreet must have told you. But even so, it would be a passive defense. Ospreet alone cannot move the empire. “What if I became an archmage?”

Ospreet is on the verge of defeating the Archmage.

However, as Belphegor predicted, Ospreet deliberately stopped just before that. This is because if you become a great wizard, you will reach the hand of God. In addition, the devil’s hand can also reach it.

In other words, Ospreet is virtually at a crossroads. In order to persuade the empire, he would have to become an archmage, but at that moment, he would be incapable of persuasion.

“How are Ospreet’s movements?”

“It’s business as usual. Still working in an educational institution. “It looks like he’s busy cleaning up the mess he made with the vanishing spell.”

“…Was it Constell because it was an educational institution?”

“Yes that’s right.”

Ospreet is the most wizard-like wizard among the Zodiac.

If there were a parameter called ‘wisdom’, Ospreet would overpower everyone else.

At first, everyone was puzzled by his establishment of Constel, but now everyone knows its meaning.

A system in which talented individuals from Constel become professionals to stop monsters and exclude enemies of humanity. Surprisingly, it is making a significant contribution to protecting today’s humanity.

“Cohen.”

“yes.”

The man who was closer to Belphegor answered.

“Try to check Constell. “If you see anything that is different from normal school work, report it immediately.”

“…are you saying to monitor the students?”

“Are you dissatisfied?”

“That’s not true.”

When Belphegor asked, Cohen quickly shook his head.

“We gathered here to catch the Empire off guard and burn them. The place where we are most likely to let our guard down is Constel. It’s a crazy place where talented people who will become the pillars of humanity in the future are gathered in a narrow building. “It is the national power of the future.”

“sorry. “I made a mistake.”

As Cohen bowed his head deeply, Belphegor cast his gaze behind him.

“Hagley.”

“yes.”

“You know the guys you need to watch out for in Constel, right?”

“We are receiving periodic reports.”

“Humility that doesn’t go unnoticed. Don’t divert your words and answer straight. Who is the person of interest in Constel? These guys here need to come to their senses again.”

Hearing Belphegor’s words, Hagley sighed inwardly.

To Belphegor, they are subordinates, but to Hagley, they are enormous superiors who are just below Belphegor.

The fact that Hagley was the center of Mangot meant that he was in charge of most of the work as a middle manager here.

For Hagley, where friendship and coordination are important, this position is truly burdensome.

“…First and foremost, there is Aster Evans, whom everyone knows.”

At Hagley’s words, the people sitting at the round table nodded as if it was natural.

“You can’t just introduce yourself.”

But Belphegor did not just let go.

“Please estimate the level of that guy’s power and tell me how it compares to these guys here.”

“….”

“If you tell me to lower that guy’s strength, I’ll let him sleep forever.”

Hagley’s mouth went dry.

If I had known this was going to be the case, I wouldn’t have brought up Aster’s story in the first place.

“…If you look at it as a one-on-one battle.”

“What if you see it?”

“Aster Evans can take on everyone present at the Round Table. “I think the odds of winning are roughly 50%.”

Everyone at the round table opened their eyes wide at those words. A student who is not Zodiac, not a professional, much less an adult, shows that level of combat?

“Did you hear? “It is not a place for you to look down on.”

“…Isn’t that too much of an exaggeration? “If you say so, how is he any different from the Zodiac?”

When someone else spoke in a dissatisfied voice, Belphegor pointed at Hagley with his chin as if there was no need to respond.

Hagley said:

“There is no difference.”

“what?”

“Aster Evans is currently on par with Zodiac.”

This time everyone opened their mouths.

Hagley continued.

“And Elodie de Inies Richae. She is also on the same level as Zodiac.”

“Hey Hagley. Is the name Zodiac funny? “Well, if we assume that everyone is of the same level, does that mean they are the same level?”

“It’s just these two. “These two people are exceptional cases even in Constel’s past history.”

The man snorted as if he didn’t like Hagley’s words.

After that, Hagley’s introduction of Constell’s character continued. Most of them were names that even the people sitting at the round table knew. Constel is a place of interest to the entire continent, so every move is heard throughout the empire.

However, according to Hagley, they were not yet strong enough to fight the figures of the Round Table. Their faces relaxed a little at those words.

And last.

“…frontier de roach.”

Even as Hagley spoke, his expression was wrinkled as if he had chewed shit.

Belphegor looked at him with a relaxed gaze.

“Why do you stop talking? “Tell me how you compare to those here.”

“…I do not know.”

“what?”

“He is definitely one of the strongest players in Constel. However, there are very few fights in public, and even if they do fight, they are fought in extreme remote areas or for a short period of time. The information that comes in from time to time is so false and exaggerated that it is difficult to know what is true. The only bits of common information are ‘an attack method that fires a weapon in the air’ and ‘a type that is good at making small talk.’”

At those words, Belphegor’s head tilted to a greater extent than ever before.

It’s not because of Hagley’s inaccurate remarks. Of course, that was partly to blame, but that wasn’t what Belphegor was concerned about.

“…How did Frondier get rid of his weakness?”

Belphegor’s body leans so much that it seems like he might lose his balance and fall. Hagley looked at it with half-closed eyes. There was a time when I really collapsed. I fell asleep just like that.

Before Belphegor placed the curse of weakness on the Emperor, he had already placed it on Frondier.

From then on, Mangot persuaded Frondier to learn the ancient language. I received a report that everything was going well, even sending a woman to learn the ancient language.

“What is the name of the woman you sent to Hagley Frontier?”

“…I’m calling you Jay. Now it is forbidden to go to Frontier. “I also cut off the shadow.”

“Why?”

“Jay is the most skilled assassin among the ten capes. “These are the personnel needed to carry out operations.”

After hearing those words, Belphegor nodded.

“If you were with Frontier, you would know more about Frontier than anyone else. What did she say?”

“It is not much different from what was reported. Rather, it feels extremely undervalued. “We constantly hear reports of people having drowsy faces, sleepy eyes, and relaxed speech and actions all day long.”

Hmm. Belphegor strokes his chin.

That is, is weakness still a functioning condition? Are you managing to make a living despite your weakness? If you say it that way, it is understandable at first glance.

“Call a woman named Jay.”

There is a need to be more certain.

If the identity of the person is unknown, it means that he is the most important person.
