Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 268 Chapter

82 Flash (2)

Minotaur.

If the world of Etius were a typical fantasy game, its name would be trivial.

In most games, the Minotaur doesn’t appear very often, and when it does appear, it’s just an ugly-looking, slightly strong bastard.

However, in this world where gods exist, the Minotaur, whose name is clearly engraved in mythology, has a different status.

A hybrid born between a cow and a human created by God, that cursed body is close to, if not half-human, half-god.

That alone is too much, but there are a lot of people like that. It is a number worthy of bringing despair to humans.

“Aster!! Come through the barrier!”

Hector’s voice was heard from above the wall.

“They are too dangerous! “We must respond with a defensive barrier!”

After hearing Hector’s words, Aster narrows his eyes and sees the Minotaur slowly approaching.

‘…no.’

Aster, who came down below the barrier, is keenly feeling the power of the Minotaur with his whole body.

The moment he takes refuge behind the wall, the Minotaur will break through it.

I don’t know any specific methods.

But no matter what, those cows will be able to destroy the barrier with great ease.

Aster did not move from his spot. As soon as Hector realized what it meant, Hector shouted to the left.

“Magic table!! Move! Build a magic barrier and prepare to fire!!”

The wizards who had been hoarding their strength began chanting in unison. They were originally waiting for such monsters. It was their turn.

However, those who were chanting were dripping with cold sweat.

‘That guy…’

It’s true that they were waiting for a strong monster, but they weren’t expecting such a ridiculous monster.

It is a monster of the abyss that you only see in textbooks. Moreover, it wasn’t just me who came alone, there were many people. I heard that Cyclops appeared in Gjerranhes last winter, but this is too much.

“Shoot!”

At Hector’s shout, the wizards’ magic rains down all at once. Shooting magic, which is most effective against a single entity, is fired at the Minotaurs at once.

The pouring magic raised a thick cloud of dust. It is a magical attack that will not leave a trace on most monsters.

“…Whew.”

Seeing that, Aster let out a long sigh.

He takes one look at his sword and checks his equipment. Check your condition with sunken eyes.

Soldiers, knights, and wizards.

No one expected anything after the dust cloud rose.

Swoosh –

the dust clears and the cows appear.

The Minotaur was in very good condition, perhaps a little sooted.

Still, the leisurely pace remained.

Neither faster nor slower.

The wizards’ volley of fire did not inflict even a single scratch on the Minotaur,

nor did it cause even a moment of irritation.

“….”

Everyone silently watched the cows advance.

There was no shouting, no screaming, no cries of despair.

Even Hector’s mouth was frozen and no words came out.

What should I do with them?

How can I stop even just one step?

“…ah.”

However, the cows do not even give them a chance to despair.

Their eyes, which seemed to be walking leisurely, glance down.

The corpses of winged creatures that Aster dropped to block the advance of monsters.

One of the cows looked at it for a moment

and

then kicked it with light footwork

.

A pile of corpses tore through the air with a booming sound.

“Huh!”

Clang!!

The bodies hit something in front of the barrier and fell.

It was a magic barrier installed in advance by wizards.

However, it was all shattered with just one attack. The next one cannot be stopped.

The cows keep moving forward.

In front of them are the corpses of the following monsters.

It was just one attack, but the entire magic barrier was broken.

The attacks

hit all at once!

Fly towards the barrier.

The corpses of monsters pour over the barrier in an instant. The soldiers on the wall were looking at the piles of corpses approaching in shock.

This time, Aster’s sword was extended.

Most of the corpses floating in the air were split in two without making a sound. Aster used his aura to completely cut down all the flying monsters.

Just

bang! Kwaaaang!

The few that did not lose their momentum crashed into the barriers or swept away the soldiers on them.

“Kaaaaak!”

“Ahh!!”

Screams rang out from above the wall, and it was only too late that the soldiers realized their despair. Soldiers were screaming one after another even though they had not been hit by the previous attack.

“Come to your senses! “Stay in place!”

Hector gives instructions to the knights on the wall, and the knights’ voices echo everywhere. However, it was not easy to calm the soldiers once they panicked.

Aster’s eyebrows gathered under the barrier.

Aster is a prosecutor. Even if he cuts everything down, if damage is done to the barrier, he has no further means to respond.

There is only one way.

“Stop.”

His voice reached everywhere.

It didn’t seem like he had raised much aura, but his voice clearly reached the entire barrier and the Minotaur’s ears.

“My name is Aster Evans.”

Aster spoke politely even to the monster.

“Knock me down first.”

The cows’ eyes turn to Aster. Boredom can be seen in their eyes.

Some human being is saying something absurd. They came to break down the wall. They came to destroy the barrier and send monsters to ravage all humans.

No matter how strong that person is, there is no reason to fight like that. The cows completely ignored Aster’s words and looked for another carcass. If there is no corpse, I plan to throw at least a living monster.

“…also.”

Aster took a stance. Jung Joong-se still holds a sword in both hands. It is a standard that even looks clunky.

“You’re a cow so you can’t understand what I’m saying.”

Although Hector did not hear the murmur, Hector noticed that Aster’s aura was expanding even more.

‘You can use a stronger auror than that!’

Hector saw Aster under the barrier. In the current situation, the only thing I could look forward to was Aster.

Aster showed more than just a whistle even against the shepherd of Cape Mangot.

‘Aster hasn’t used his divine power yet! ‘If we borrow Baldur’s power, we might be able to kill those monsters!’

It was a well-founded expectation. Because Aster’s greatest talent is being loved by Baldur.

however.

“…Aster?”

Aster further amplifies the power of the Auror, but still shows no sign of using his divine power.

If you are in an attack position and are even a little late, the Minotaur will throw a pile of corpses again in an urgent situation.

There is no sign of Baldur appearing.

“No way, no way… No way, Aster!”

A chilling guess passes through Hector’s mind, and he shouts without realizing it.

Aster bowed his head for a moment. He looked at his sword held with both hands.

The blade raised vertically reflected sunlight.

“Baldur.”

Aster called his name.

God who loves himself.

The name of the old grace that helped him whenever he faced hardships and adversity.

After reciting the name, Aster laughed.

“Forsake me.”

Immediately after those words,

all the aura surrounding Aster disappeared.

A few days ago, when Frontier gathered everyone in the classroom.

Edwin was talking to Elin. The conversation was about Edwin’s security device.

“It will be difficult for students to respond to this situation. “When a dangerous situation arises, can’t we sound an alarm to inform people around us of the situation?”

“There is nothing that cannot make such an artifact, but mass production is difficult. Since time is limited, it should only be given to important people.”

Elin is the student council president. Therefore, it was up to her to decide the direction of the students during these emergency situations.

Of course, the overall flow will be discussed with the teachers, but it is up to Elin to give detailed instructions in the actual situation.

“To be honest, I don’t want to involve students in combat.”

“I agree.”

Except for a few, Constel students do not go to the defense walls. They were designed to work with professionals and police to respond to any problems within the empire. In other words, it is a much safer location than those guarding the wall.

But even so, it is inevitable to feel anxious. For Elin, the difference between her perception of Frontier and Aster and that of other students is as different as heaven and earth.

“If Mangot is truly capable of being raided, students who are not careful could be in even more danger.”

They had already heard about the shadow transfer from Frontier. That’s why Elin was worried about other students right now.

If that shadow looms over the students’ backs, no matter how well-trained they are in combat, they will not be able to deal with the surprise attacks of Mangot’s assassins.

“That won’t happen. sister.”

At that time, Aster, who had finished talking with Frontier, approached.

“Aster.”

“As long as Mangot uses all-out warfare and raids, Shadow Transfer will not be possible to all of Mangot. “If it’s a simple technology that everyone can use, there’s no need for a bucket in the first place.”

If we assume that the entire Mangot was capable of shadow transfer, the empire would have collapsed long ago.

There is clearly a limit to the number of people who can do it, or there are certain conditions.

“So, if Mangot uses Shadow Transfer, it is when he is aiming for the most serious blow to the empire. If you try to transfer and attack anyone, they will all die on the spot. “There is no danger to Constell students.”

“…okay.”

Elin nodded.

Of course, something happens just in case. The possibility of Mangot moving near Constell’s students is probably not zero.

However, it is impossible to fight against all such families. That’s what war is like.

“Senior Edwin.”

“huh?”

Aster this time spoke to Edwin next to him.

“…From what I heard, Hephaestus….”

“Ah, that guy.”

When Edwin said that guy, Elin and Aster tensed at the same time.

“I went. “I don’t have any magical powers anymore.”

Edwin spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders. That face actually looked cool.

“Is it because of the golem incident from before?”

“Well, it’s true that that incident was the catalyst. But if you look back.”

Edwin put his hands on his hips and lifted his head up.

“I feel like that kid has been doing whatever he wants for a very long time.”

“…You mean Hephaestus?”

Aster still feels awkward talking about God carelessly. Edwin laughed at that.

“Haha you call it whatever you want. “I’m weird, not you.”

“…No one is surprised.”

“Yes, that is your answer. “But when I feel like Hephaestus has manipulated me and I know it’s possible.”

Edwin sighs.

“I have doubts since when did you start doing that?”

“…!”

“During the Golem incident, its power was revealed so strongly that it was evident, but think about it. You may have been secretly doing it a little bit before then, right? Small but steady so as not to feel any discomfort or strangeness. “As long as he’s by my side, I don’t know when he started manipulating me and when he will continue to do so again.”

“…Yes.”

Aster could only nod his head at Edwin’s words.

Edwin’s decision not to trust Hephaestus was an extremely reasonable decision.

So what about Aster?

He is loved by Baldur.

─I’ve never been afraid of anything like that.

That one word that Elodie said. I know very well that those were the original words of Frontier.

That’s what I said at the fake Mystiltein meeting.

At the time, everyone thought that was a bluff, but no one thinks that way anymore.

“…God.”

Aster mutters quietly.

“It’s really scary to me.”

That little word.

Both Elin and Edwin listened to it without thinking much.

Frontier, a little further away, was different.

He stood tall and looked at Aster. Its eyes widened and, in a rare occurrence, its mouth opened as if surprised.

Frondier looked at Aster as if it was hard to believe that those words came from Aster.

Those distant eyes nod quietly while no one is looking at what they were thinking.

The plan to deploy Frontier’s barrier was completely decided by the words Aster muttered at this time.

* * *

Aster slowly raises his sword.

It’s such a simple movement that it’s hard to think of anything other than cutting the air vertically.

‘I spent my entire vacation learning this one skill from my sister.’

It was a little embarrassing, so Aster didn’t tell others.

He was confident that he had mastered Auror skills during summer vacation, but he barely learned a single skill during winter vacation.

‘But whatever.’

It’s not just about learning.

Stand tall.

All the cows that tried to throw the body and those that tried to kick it stopped at the same time. They instantly focused their attention on Aster, who they had tried to completely ignore.

They themselves couldn’t figure out why. I don’t feel like Aster is a great auror. He doesn’t have the slightest amount of divine power.

However.

Aster is originally a ‘swordsman who does not emit aura’.

“going.”

Evans Family Weapon Skill

Elin Evans Unique Sword

Style Ilsa

If it were original, Aster would have received the power of Baldur and flown towards the head of the cow.

However, he just raised his sword in a neat posture and did an

Aster Evans-style transformation

——a flash.

The moment the sword was lowered,

his body was behind the cows.

“…?”

One cow, unable to track the speed with its eyes, tried to turn its head, but

could only turn its body halfway.

Wow!!

Originally, Aster’s sword could barely make a scratch even with Baldur’s power.

That blow cut the Minotaur in half from the top of its head to its groin, and

the cow, noticing it later, threw half of its body to the ground and the remaining half stood on the ground for a moment.

“!!”

The remaining cows then turn their heads towards Aster, who is behind them.

Aster had the exact same posture.

The prototype of a rugged and standard mid-level swordsman holding a sword with both hands.

Even the lightly exhaled breath is filled with aura and shakes the air tingly.

He is ordinary and ordinary.

“one.”

I recited it accurately.
