Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 312 Chapter
93 The Power of the Devil (3)
A shabby inn.
A woman with a blanket covering her face hurriedly entered.
As if she had already paid for a few days, she goes straight up the stairs and the innkeeper does not stop her.
“Huu huu…”
Although he didn’t run, he was breathing heavily as if he had been walking quickly.
The woman went into her room, took out a large bag, opened it, and started putting her clothes in it. Next was the wig, then the masks.
“Why is this happening all of a sudden…”
The woman bit her lip. Even as I was packing my bags, I burst into anger.
Just now.
The woman passed by a banquet hall where high-ranking nobles were expected to attend. It was far from where she lived.
I had no intention of going into the banquet hall. I just wanted to hear the music and see the faces of people smiling inside the colorful mansion with lights.
…If it had been her in the past, everyone would have bowed their heads. When I look back on that time, I feel even more shabby, but I still can’t forget that dream.
That’s how Elisia lived. He lived the life of a commoner under the surveillance of the empire. The knowledge she learned about alchemy and monsters helped her work at the mall.
However, you cannot work anywhere for very long. Neither the wig nor the mask were made of high quality. If you work for a long time, you get caught.
If I had known this would happen, I would have broken my habit of constantly leaving the palace when I was a princess. Regret is always too late.
And if you have regrets, it would be natural to regret everything you committed.
However, when he turned away from the banquet hall and went home, an incident occurred.
“Aren’t you going in?”
Someone must have seen her wandering around the banquet hall and approached her to talk to her.
His voice was soft, and although he was not very handsome, he had a good-natured appearance.
“Ah… I’m not that kind of person…”
Not knowing what to say at a time like this, Elysia gave a slightly awkward answer.
I’m not that kind of person. Even though I say it, it’s so pitiful.
“Haha, it’s okay. “Please come in.”
At that time, the man held Elysia’s hand and led her.
“ah.”
Elysia made a short noise. The man moved leisurely and had an attitude that he had no hesitation.
Elysia is now wearing cheap clothes, a wig, and a mask. She is just an ordinary, poor commoner woman.
The man probably knows that he can’t even set foot in a banquet like this.
‘…Okay, whatever.’
Nevertheless, Elysia did not shake off her hand.
It’s probably an attitude that comes from the arrogance typical of nobles. It is either entertainment that shows a brief dream to commoners, or it is a toy that is good to play with.
Or maybe he just found a decent girl to spend the night with.
Elysia was okay with either one. It has been over a year since she fell from the life of a princess to that of a commoner.
However, Elysia still cannot forget the time when she was most flashy and bright.
If only I could feel even half of that, even if it was just an illusion.
“Now this way.”
The man entered the hall with Elysia. While everyone was wearing fancy dresses and suits, Elysia’s attire was so unsightly that she stood out.
Everyone passing by glanced at the man and Elysia, but soon returned to their own topics as if they were not interested.
If this was a gathering of clumsy nobles, there would have been an uproar as soon as they saw Elysia, but since this was a gathering of high-ranking nobles, there was only enough room to accommodate at least one commoner.
It was possible even to not see it in the first place. Above all, there was no need to worry because a male noble was holding Elysia’s hand and leading her.
But only one person.
There was someone who followed Elysia for a longer period of time.
‘…?’
Elysia felt those gazes and turned her head.
At first, I didn’t really know who it was. The first thing that caught my eye was the suit.
──A black suit that seems to be hidden in pitch black darkness, but actually makes you realize that it is there more than anyone else.
If you look up a little, you will see hair and eyes that are as dark as the clothes.
It looks like he was drinking, although his face is covered by a glass so it’s hard to see.
The moment I put it down.
‘…Frondier!’
Elysia barely restrained herself from making a sound. Quickly look away.
Elysia recognizes Frondier, but Frondier obviously doesn’t know who he is. He completely disappeared with a wig and mask. Perhaps what drew attention to Elysia was her attire.
‘Why is that man here!’
Elysia blinked in confusion. If you think about it, Roach is one of the most prestigious families. It’s not strange to attend these parties.
However, as far as Elysia knew, Frontier would not participate in something like this.
The information Elysia gained after becoming a commoner was extremely poor. I only heard that Frontier made great contributions in the war, but I didn’t even see the footage on Wizard View.
In other words, Elysia’s perception of Frondier is not much different from when she defeated the Chimera.
‘I never thought we’d meet in a place like this.’
Elysia glanced sideways at Frondier again. Frondier must have lost interest in Elysia and was talking to someone nearby.
‘…Frondier.’
Elysia hid her complicated feelings. From her perspective, Frontier is a man who is like a bitter enemy. He is the one who ruined the plan and put Elysia in this situation.
But in hindsight, it was easy to see that it was Frontier who ultimately saved Elysia. Originally, it wasn’t meant to end with such a mild punishment.
If you think about it that way, you end up feeling like it was a self-sufficiency, and in the end, you feel guilty that she tried to kill Filina Aten on her own.
‘It has nothing to do with me now.’
While Elysia was compiling her thoughts, the man led her down the hall, up the stairs, and headed toward one of the rooms in the mansion.
‘It’s also urgent.’
Elysia looked at that with cold eyes.
Since he acted as if he was inviting me to a banquet, I thought I would be able to enjoy the banquet atmosphere and food for a while, but the man was busy getting straight to the point.
‘huh…?’
However, when he opened the door, let Elisia in, locked the door, walked to the closet, opened the closet door, and then opened another door hidden behind the closet, only then did Elisia think that something was strange.
‘Secret door? Secret passage? ‘Is there a hidden room here?’
When Elysia was a princess, she often visited banquets at this mansion. But I never thought there would be a device like this.
“Now come inside. “I’ll show you something fun.”
Elysia asked back, feeling a little wary of the man’s tone, whose honorific title had suddenly disappeared.
“…Something fun?”
“okay. “I was tired of parties.”
A man who quietly extends his hand like that.
Elysia thought for a moment. It was a little different from Elysia’s imagination. If your goal is to spend the night, there is no need to take him to this passage. This room where Elysia is right now is the bedroom.
However, on the other hand, if we say that that is not the purpose, then it would be fortunate. Does a noble have a secret collection that he doesn’t usually show to others? Maybe he wants to show it off to the common people.
‘…is that better?’
In the end, Elysia held the man’s hand. I was tired of living in poverty, I missed the times when I was a royal family, and I felt like everything should happen now.
Whick!
“Kya?!”
But as soon as he held her hand, the man roughly pulled Elysia into his arms. They forcefully drag him into the secret door.
“Hak haaak…! Haaak!!”
Where has the friendly expression from just a moment ago gone, Elysia hears the chilling sound of breathing from the man in her arms. Moreover, mana is gradually felt. This is definitely not a normal situation.
‘What the hell! This man!’
Elysia struggled, but it was no use. The man’s arm is hard, as if he is hitting a rock. It was by no means an ordinary human muscle.
The man continued to walk through the secret passage, dragging Elysia. Just as Elysia was about to give up as she had no way to use her strength, the two reached a wider cavity.
It wasn’t very bright, but there were small lights around as a light source.
And there was already another man inside. He must have been waiting for the man who dragged Elysia, and after seeing them, he opened his arms.
“Welcome. “You wouldn’t have been caught, right?”
“Oh, I didn’t catch you! Can I do it now? “I can’t take it anymore!”
“Okay, okay. “I will take care of everything later.”
The man who dragged Elysia knocked her down as soon as he arrived.
Even though Elysia could not clearly understand what was being said, she felt that she had really made a mistake. It would have been better if it just attacked me, but I didn’t think it would end like that.
“What! “What are you trying to do…!”
Elysia started to raise her voice but stopped.
Wings were visible behind the man’s back. The pupils became so bloodshot that the entire whites of them turned red.
Elysia knew very well what these beings were called.
“…Devil….”
“Hehehehehehe.” Woman, it’s been a long time since I had a bitch as easy as you. thank god Although I don’t believe in God. Kyahahahaha!”
“What are you planning to do?”
“Do you want to know that? “It might be more painful.”
The teeth of a grinning man are visible. It didn’t look that different from an ordinary human, but its gums looked unusually red somewhere.
“My desire is ‘vampire’.”
“Yo desire?”
“You just need to stay quiet. It won’t hurt that much. I just fall into a sleep that I won’t wake up from. Hehehe.”
Vampire? Suck blood? craving? What is it! Are all devils like this? Are you all trying to suck people’s blood? Like mosquitoes?
Elysia’s head spins in panic.
Meanwhile, the man’s mouth opened wide and got closer to the nape of Elysia’s neck. Elysia’s eyes closed tightly.
──That’s right.
At that moment, the man’s movements stopped. He closed his mouth and looked straight ahead.
A sound was heard from far away in the secret passageway where Elysia was dragged through.
said the man.
“Hey Bart. just now.”
“…Yeah, I heard that too.”
The man called Bart hardened his expression.
“Didn’t you say that Kagris wasn’t caught?”
“okay. No one had any doubts on the way here. There was no reason for that. There was no such thing as being followed. “I checked everything.”
Jump and jump.
Even as the two talk, the sounds get closer and closer.
The sound of a person walking. It’s definitely true. Although this secret room is not only used by the two of them, the manager is clearly Bart. Unless he has other appointments, there is no way anyone else will visit this secret room.
In other words, whatever the circumstances, this place was discovered. Most likely human.
“…Then maybe he is the guy of the rumors?”
“Maybe so.”
However, the two spoke as if they had an idea about someone approaching. Nevertheless, his expression did not improve and became more serious.
Cagris got away from Elysia and slowly stood up. There was no time to suck a woman’s blood right now.
Elysia raised her upper body. She also saw the passage. The sound of footsteps was clearly getting closer.
And finally, someone walking appeared.
“Is vampirism a desire worthy of a high-ranking demon?”
The black-haired man tilted his head and said something strange.
“I thought high-ranking devils had rather old-fashioned desires, but that’s not necessarily true.”
“…Who are you?”
Kagris asked Frondier who came inside.
Without giving him time to reply, Bart continued.
“Are you the one who killed Olivia?”
“okay. Are you the next manager, Olivia? “It took a long time to find it.”
Frontier coolly admitted.
He was already quite famous among the devils. Of course, rather than the name Frontier itself being famous, there were rumors among demons that there was someone who was killing demons.
Bart and Kagris were on fire.
“How dare you tell me where this is? “Do you think you can kill both of us alone?”
Bart and Kagris manifest Auras almost at the same time. Elysia swallowed her saliva as she looked at the surging mana.
‘It’s a big deal.’
Indeed, the power of high-ranking demons is enormous. Elysia naturally got scared and backed away.
Meanwhile, Frontier spoke.
“No, I have no intention of killing you.”
“You’re talking like that about killing Olivia!”
“sorry. I didn’t originally intend to kill him either. really.”
Frondier said that and shook his head. There was a sigh mixed with languid eyes, as if there was nothing he could do, as if he had caught a minor mistake he had made in his childhood. He asked as if something suddenly occurred to him.
“But what if vampirism is your desire? Is it possible to make someone who has sucked blood into your servant? Or maybe he has the ability to turn into a bat. “Something about garlic doesn’t sit well with my mouth.”
“…What kind of bullshit are you talking about!”
“hmm. “Isn’t that true after all?”
There is a bit of regret in Frondier’s eyes. He slowly raised his hand.
“I won’t kill you this time. I’ve been practicing hard all this time. “It wasn’t easy at first to control strength I had never used before.”
“You insolent bastard!”
It was Kagris who attacked first. He was already extremely anxious and angry at having missed the opportunity to satisfy his vampiric desires right before his eyes. Of course, I ran towards Frontier without any fear.
Elysia shouted at that sight without realizing it.
“Frondier!”
A strong aura exuded by a devil. Elysia thought that Frondier would die on the spot. Without being able to resist at all, I just shook it off.
dump.
However, Cagris collapsed without stopping.
“uh…?”
Elysia made a sound. Bart, who was watching from behind, also widened his eyes.
Frondier silently approached the fallen Cagris. Lay him down face down, lift his eyelids, look at his eyes, and check his pulse.
“…hmm.”
Then Frondier stood up. He looked at Bart this time.
“What I did now was a mistake. The next one is real.”
