Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 285 Chapter
85 Reduction
Everyone was momentarily speechless at Frondier’s words.
A body close to exhaustion due to the effects of mana exhaustion, a pale face, broken arms, and blood flowing all over the body.
At the moment they were hesitating whether to act differently or get angry.
“Still.”
There was someone who flew to Frontier’s side in an instant and hugged his back.
“Stay still.”
She flew in pure white and spread her own color on Frontier.
“…Aten.”
“What does this look like?”
Aten stores her mana as she speaks. A cold breath reached Frondier and enveloped his entire body.
“…This can’t be right.”
“It’s not perfect yet.”
As Aten said, Frondier felt his body slowly healing. The pain decreases and the weight of the heavy body is lifted little by little.
“Is this ‘reduction’ magic?”
“It’s simple healing. “Although it mixed the principle of reduction.”
The return of Aten’s magic that saved Frondeer, who was dying due to the side effects of eating the previous dragon heart.
However, it was an imitation of Aten’s own future that he had seen for a moment. Great magic that she could do in the future, but was still unable to do. Because it was a method that was close to a miracle, born of coincidence, Aten was not yet able to use it freely.
‘In the game, Reduction was only available after Aten became a pro. Originally, ice magic was my specialty.’
The Mangot raid was also a long time ago in the game. Here, the attack on Mangot was brought forward as several events overlapped. It is true that the Empire and Constell were underprepared, but Mangot also started hastily.
‘…But it’s a bit strange.’
Aten is hugging Frondier from behind to help her recover, but if you think about it, it’s a bit strange.
Last time I gave back, I think I just touched it.
Besides, this time it’s not about giving back, it’s just about healing.
“Do you have to hug me like this to recover?”
“no.”
“….”
“Still, stay still.”
Aten tightly holds on to Frontier, who is quietly trying to escape. Frondier remained still because he felt a strange will and power.
“…Will the effect be better if I do this?”
Frontier asked one more time just in case.
“no.”
Of course, Aten did not live up to those expectations.
“Still, stay still.”
“…You still have trouble communicating.”
While the two of us were having a dull conversation.
“Frondier.”
Aster stands next to Frontier. He spoke to Frondier with his gaze straight ahead.
“I brought everyone.”
“thanks.”
Frondier lifted his hand and placed it on Aster’s shoulder.
“Then I leave the instructions to you.”
Aster seemed a little worried about Frondier’s words and asked.
“…don’t you like what you do?”
“That sound again.”
Frondier tilts his head beyond Aster.
People come quickly and line up next to them. Frondier said, looking at each of them.
“You brought everything with you.”
“You brought it here.”
“no.”
Frondier shakes his head.
“I never said that. “You did it of your own will and of your own will.”
In fact, Frontier never asked to bring them all here.
Frontier asked for only one thing.
Please be a leader. That’s it.
“…cowardly guy.”
Aster gave a light scolding and pulled out his sword. Excalibur∙Beta. Frondier looked at that splendid figure for a moment.
“You brought it.”
“I made you bring this. “Don’t think about refuting.”
“That’s right.”
Hehe, Frontier laughed. I personally went to the sacred forest to help Aster obtain that sword. You can’t deny that.
“…Aster instructions.”
Frontier looked straight ahead.
Although the surrounding area has been devastated by Elodie’s magic, there are still many corpses in the army. I gradually filled the void created by Elodie and got closer to them.
Cheok!
Aster’s sword rose high into the sky. The brilliance of Excalibur is clearly revealed and illuminates the area.
“Constel!”
Aster shouts. Frontier thought to himself that it was a very appropriate term. As expected, Aster has the qualities of a leader.
Those who lined up around them, as if waiting for the shout, fully loaded their weapons and magic with excited expressions and waited for instructions.
“We will end this war!!”
The clash of armies began with him. The students use their individual powers to eliminate the group in front of them.
What stood out most of all were Set Aster and Cybel Elodie, who had grown significantly during this war. Selena may not be flashy, but she ends the lives of her enemies more quietly than anyone else, and her speed is comparable to the previous three, except that she is invisible.
Mei also defeated enemies using the materials she learned. It was almost like an experiment to try out what I had learned.
“Hmm, if this happens, I have no choice but to aim for that devil.”
Ospreet’s head rises to the sky.
Belphegor quietly looks down on the battlefield from the sky. Even though the war situation has become unfavorable, his gaze is calm. He made eye contact with Ospreet and lowered his arrogant gaze as if to ask them to come.
“President!!”
But then the exchange of glances between the two was interrupted by Frondier’s voice.
Frondier looked at Ospreet and only moved his mouth without making a sound.
‘Here.’
That simple request could be read without sound, and Ospreet flew slowly and reached him in one leap.
Ospreet waved his arm and cast the soundproofing magic ‘Wind Whisper’ around him.
“What’s going on?”
“You must not approach Belphegor. “His intention is to lure the president.”
Frondier said in a low voice.
“Belphegor can use the power of mortal sin. “Deliveries a powerful mental attack regardless of the opponent’s resistance.”
“…Do you mean to directly grant ‘sloth’?”
Ospreet’s guess was correct. Frondier nodded.
“Mr. President, please go to Mangot.”
“Inside Mangot?”
“yes. “Somewhere out there, believers are trying to bring down God.”
Another countdown to this war.
Mangot is trying to bring down God, and now the moment is not long.
“The power has now grown to the point where it will explode immediately if it is stopped carelessly.”
“…We have to control that.”
“yes. “Only the president can do this.”
As a wizard, Elodie is excellent enough, but since she is a destruction wizard who grew up for the purpose of excluding enemies, she is still immature when it comes to control. I didn’t wear a bandana for no reason.
“Then what does that devil do? “The power of mortal sin is against anyone.”
As Ospreet said that, Frondier held out his hand.
“…what is that hand?”
“Please, now.”
“….”
“You took charge of it because only the president could hide it.”
Ospreet remains silent at Frondier’s words. Frondier’s serious eyes turn his face into worry.
“…Are you sure it’s okay?”
“Even if things go wrong,”
Frondier glanced at Aten, who was still hugging him.
“…Aten will save me.”
“yes?”
Aten doesn’t know what’s going on. Ospreet lets out a long sigh.
“I don’t know what will happen.”
Ospreet raised one hand and twirled it in the air.
Then, a small object that had not been there before was placed in his palm.
Aten, who was watching from behind, was surprised to see it.
“Dragon Heart…!”
A crystal with thin rings in the shape of a triangle.
An enormous concentration of mana that had not been felt before was contained entirely in that one thing.
And of course, Belphegor noticed it too.
‘How on earth do you get that much mana…?’
The doubt was fleeting and I knew right away. Ospreet hid it using space magic.
Ospreet, who himself had been outside the world. It would be as simple as hiding one object.
‘If it’s a dragon heart, the one in the imperial palace must have been broken. Since then, dragons have never appeared again on this continent!’
Belphegor looked closely at the dragon heart placed on Ospreet’s palm.
“…no.”
His intuition speaks.
“That’s not Dragon Heart.”
As Belphegor guessed, the object in Ospreet’s hand is not a dragon heart.
This is a collaboration between Frontier and May.
This is the original version of Frontier, created to treat Emperor Bartello’s weakness. Since it is a crystal of Frondier’s magic power, it would be correct to simply call it ‘Frondier Heart’, but Frondier himself rejected it because it was too cringy.
Frondier accepted the mana crystal from Ospreet.
‘…second.’
In theory, these mana crystals can be created continuously. The mana in the human body naturally recovers over time, and when it recovers, you can make this crystal again with Mei.
Therefore, considering efficiency and effectiveness, there was no reason for Frontier not to try it.
One problem occurred in an unexpected place.
—The decision doesn’t hold up.
—The mana crystal you made was made according to the design of ‘Dragon Heart’, right? Maybe human mana doesn’t fit the design a bit. So, it maintains its form for a while, but over time it disintegrates.
Frontier’s original mana crystals cannot be maintained semi-permanently like Dragon Heart.
According to Ospreet’s advice, the period cannot exceed 15 days at most. Knowing that the quantity could not be increased, Frondier stopped making mana crystals. Except for this one, which was created to prepare for this war.
—Are you planning on swallowing that?
—Just swallowing a dragon heart is a very dangerous action. It’s no different from your own dragon heart. In fact, it might be more dangerous.
The reason Frontiere has been able to amplify mana with Dragon Heart so far is because what he created was ‘fake’.
Since the actual dragon heart was not eaten, the dragon heart only gave the ‘effect’ of mana amplification, and to create that effect, Frondier’s blood and flesh were cut and eaten. To replace it, ‘Penelope’s Cloth’ has been used.
However, in the ‘real’ case, Penelope’s Cloth does not activate. Because there is no need for a dummy to take mana instead.
Frondier thought it would be okay to just eat it since it was his own mana crystal, but according to Ospreet, that was a very easy and dangerous idea.
If Dragonheart’s original berserk nature destroys the bodies of those who eat it, then Frondier’s original mana crystals will fit Frondier’s body ‘too well’.
Mana will definitely rise, and the synergy of that compatibility will be difficult to estimate.
However, whether the human body can withstand it is a completely different matter.
“Aten, step back.”
Frontier said:
There was no hesitation on his part.
I don’t know what will happen. I’m so tired of that kind of talk now.
He walked a path he didn’t know what would happen and always continued with that choice.
Still standing here now.
“…Promise me one thing.”
Aten said while still hugging Frondier’s body.
“When you leave somewhere, when you break up with me, when you fight with someone or something and get hurt.”
Aten’s face on Frondier’s back could not be seen, but his tone trembled pitifully.
“Please come back to me.”
“…Aten.”
“Do not forget.”
The hand holding him feels strong.
“I will always follow your lead.”
“….”
“But sometimes I feel like I’m missing you.”
Frondier also felt Aten’s body trembling.
“…Because I am weak.”
“Aten.”
“Even if it can’t be your will like other people’s.”
“Aten.”
“If you just come back, I will.”
Suddenly,
Frondier used a little force to loosen Aten’s arm.
Aten looks at Frontier in confusion. Putting his hand on that white head, Frondier smiled.
“Save me.”
“….”
“Because I entrusted my life to you.”
At those words, Aten pursed his trembling lips for a moment and simply nodded silently.
As she slowly retreated, Frondier took a deep breath and held up the mana crystal.
Feeling Aten’s worried gaze, Frondier smiled to himself.
‘It reminds me of the old days.’
When he fought Renzo to protect Aten.
Even then, Frondier swallowed the dragon heart in front of Aten.
I walked that path without knowing what the consequences would be.
In the end, that choice pushed Frontier to the brink of death.
In hindsight, now.
‘Yes, Aten. From then until now, you and I have been like that.’
Just as Frontier saved Aten from Renzo’s hands.
Just like Aten saved Frontier.
Not the princess.
Not a prestigious nobleman.
Aten Terst ga Frontier de Roach.
“…Goes.”
Frontier believed that he would be saved.
I swallowed a mana crystal.
