The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 391

Chapter 114: Agoris

Agoris.

This is another continent that can be discovered by heading west from the Palind Continent.

Here, devils and humans are in conflict. Just as the people of Palind fight against monsters, the people here fight against demons.

And one day, a new fear laid its light feet on the earth.

That was not a fear given to humans.

It’s a fear of demons.

Jerk.

“hi.”

According to reports.

It is said that the black-haired man who first appeared greeted the demons with a fresh face.

On his back were black, very colorful and large wings. That’s why the devils believed him to be a devil.

…No, in the end, that thought wasn’t wrong.

The devil was right.

“I’m looking for Bael.”

Unlike the demons of the Palind Continent, the demons of Agoris established a country on this land. That was the biggest difference from monsters.

So when the man first appeared in a coastal village at the edge of the country.

Gorgeous wings, calling the King of Hell without any honorific title.

The devils thought. He is a high-ranking devil that they dare not touch. After obediently showing Bael’s location, the black-haired man left with a bright smile on his face. Without hurting anyone.

Jerk.

The man was soon found in a city. The report was a hoax, but it was definitely the man found on the shore.

Black hair, overly flashy wings, and whenever he opens his mouth,

─I’m looking for Bael.

Until this time, the demons had similar thoughts as the demons did in the coastal town. A high-ranking demon comparable to Bael. That’s why the demons spoke obediently to the man.

“Bael is not in this city. “Go to the center of Edrium.”

Then the man said.

“What is Edrium?”

“…? “It is the name of our country.”

Oh, I see. The man answered as if it was the first time he knew, and he left the city.

Jeopuk, Jeopuk….

The man headed further and further towards the center of Edrium, the land of demons.

It was at this time that the man’s presence became known to Bael.

Bael never made an appointment with any demon, much less allowed a demon to talk to him without any honorifics.

When Bael confirmed that his appearance did not match that of any of the 72 demons, it was only then that the demons realized that the unidentified man in black had been acting very arrogantly.

And when the man arrived in the city of Bael, the demons aimed their weapons at him.

The man’s expression did not change.

He asks, with the fresh face he had when he first set foot on the shore.

─I’m looking for Bael.

To the demons, those words were now meaningless nonsense, nothing more than an insult to their king.

Now there was no devil who could give him an obedient answer. Instead, they took out their weapons.

And the demons all attack him at once.

──On this day.

23 people in front of the city entrance,

137 in the city center;

14 people on the hill road leading to the castle.

48 people fell in front of the gate where Bael resides.

Jerk.

Jerk.

Jerk.

The man walked.

All the demons who saw that scene thought.

Run away.

Take care of this situation as soon as possible, to Bael!

To our King of Hell!

It was not a fight, nor was it a massacre.

The man didn’t fight, he didn’t kill anyone, much less wound anyone.

He was the one who got scared and put down his weapon, the one who ran away, the one who held the weapon with trembling hands but just watched the man passing right by.

The man left everything as is.

‘What on earth is going on?’

‘What on earth has come to Edrium?’

So the devil was afraid of him.

No one can stop him, and he doesn’t hurt anyone.

Unable to figure out what the trajectory means, the devil heads towards the king.

The man saw their appearance in the sky. I saw them gathering together to the king.

There is no point in hiding the king’s location. In the first place, they don’t hide the king.

So Bael,

According to the will of the man, according to the will of the entire devil.

appears before him.

Looking down at the man in black who arrived in front of the castle gate, the man meets his eyes.

After checking Bael, the man was just like that.

─I found it.

I just said.

* * *

Approximately 3 hours after passing Poseidon.

“──It’s here.”

As expected when passing through it, the continent soon emerged.

The sun was slightly slanted, illuminating the evening, and we checked the continent in the distance.

Selena, who was staring blankly as if admiring the outline of the continent seen from afar, spoke.

“We really just went west, and we got there.”

“Because I wasn’t looking for an island.”

You’ll need a proper map to find this small area, but Agoris is a continent. Even if the direction was a little wrong, I would have reached Agoris.

“Then what should I do? Shall we find a place where humans live right here?”

“Um, no.”

I shook my head at Arald’s question.

“I’m going to take a look by myself first, so I’ll ask you to take care of it. It might take a few days. “Is there enough food?”

After saying that, I made wings on the back with black cloth.

Elodie, who was watching this, said.

“You really look like the devil for doing that.”

…This isn’t a bad thing, right?

I felt that worry for a moment, but as expected, Elodie was thinking about something else.

“…Maybe, even if the real demons see it….”

“ah.”

At those words, I realized Elodie’s intention and looked at Lily.

“Leah Reese. “If I had these wings, wouldn’t I be able to fool the devil?”

There, Lily said, “Hmm,” and her eyebrows gathered together.

“I think you can fool it, assuming it spreads its wings from the beginning and doesn’t show for too long. Just like their personalities, the wings of demons change in shape as they become more advanced. “Frondier’s wings have a very flashy feel to them.”

The first time the black sky attached to my back like wings was when I was fighting Belphegor.

When I ate the dragon heart I made myself and poured all of my pure mana and Helheim’s mana into the Black Sky. It became possible to handle the entire black stream, which was so large that it was comparable to a lake.

So, what was left after covering my entire body stretched out like wings behind my back. However, at the time, it was not used as a wing function. I couldn’t afford it.

Keeping my memories of that time alive, I used the wings for flight in Hitchcock, and I still use them well to this day.

“It was a made-up wing, and it was made a little bigger because we only thought about flying at high speeds.”

The flight speed increases according to the amount of mana injected into the black sky. In fact, this principle is more like an engine than a bird’s wings.

The black sky itself is mana, so the condensation of mana in the shape of wings pushes my entire body.

“It’s noticeable, but it’s as black as the devil’s wings. And it’s not like there aren’t demons with flashy, big wings. But if you see them folding or spreading their wings, you’ll think it’s strange. “Because the devil’s wings don’t spread that way.”

That’s right. Because it is created by Black Heaven. The unfolding appearance is completely different from the devil’s wings.

And although the shapes are different, the material of the black cloth is so strange that there is a chance of being caught even if it is exposed to the public eye for a long time.

“then.”

But that alone was enough for me.

“It would be okay to approach it to some extent.”

“Access?”

Selena asked.

I said it because there was no reason to hide it.

“Because I’m going to Bael.”

* * *

And as time passed, I finally arrived in front of a castle gate.

At a glance, you can see winged creatures watching over the castle walls, and several demons flying in the air a little noisily.

It looks as if demons have already taken over the human area, but that is not the case.

There were no humans here from the beginning.

This is not a human castle.

“I found it.”

I checked Bael looking down at me from above.

Unfortunately.

My plan to meet Bael without making a fuss had already been ruined a few days ago.

I found Bael on the Agoris continent.

Of course, it would be ridiculous to find a single demon in this huge land, but Bael is different. Because he is the king of hell. I’m sure there is no devil in this country that I don’t know about.

I have no doubt that all the demons who met me would sympathize with how kind I was to the demons in order to find Bael.

‘The demons in Agoris were originally planning to attack the empire, so I thought they would be as close to the eastern end as possible.’

I thought the location of the Agoris demons would be similar to Cape Mande.

If Mangot was at the western end, these are at the eastern end.

And the guess was not wrong.

It wasn’t wrong.

‘The devils really built the country.’

Without even having to look for them, I saw demons at the eastern end of the continent.

There were a ridiculous number of them, and in a ridiculously large area.

‘Arald and Lili were right.’

There is no zodiac in Agoris.

This is true both in reality and figuratively.

In Agoris, there is no one as strong as Zodiac. This is something I learned from a conversation with Bael and Marco.

However, I heard that in the land of Agoris, instead of monsters, demons are fighting against humans.

So how did they prevent the invasion of demons and survive?

Before coming here, I received advice on this from the original demons Lili and Arald.

“We will have to listen to Bael’s story more to find out, but there are two things we can predict.”

Lili said.

“For one thing, devils don’t hate humans that much. “I don’t particularly like him.”

“Compared to monsters that attack and try to kill you as soon as they make eye contact, devils are much calmer.”

Monsters have unconditional hatred towards humans. There are no exceptions here.

Whether they are ordinary monsters or monsters from outside, they become stronger and smarter, but their hostility toward humans never decreases.

That is why they try to kill humans even at the cost of their own lives, and that is why the Palind Continent shed so much blood.

“I think the demons in Agoris have already established their own kingdom.”

“Because they haven’t lost their memories like Satan’s minions.”

Demons gathered in Agoris to invade the former empire. They are demons who have crossed Satan’s gate, but they are not Satan’s subordinates. Rather, they must have tremendous hostility toward Satan, who closed the gate leaving them behind.

They were already a group, so it would have been much easier for them to settle in Agoris than the demons of the Empire who had lost their memories.

“Even demons are not stupid. I don’t want to shed unnecessary blood. Although demons place low priority on their own lives, it does not mean that they do not have a sense of preservation for the entire species. “You want to avoid war as much as possible.”

“Then are the humans of Agoris safer than you think?”

Arald shook his head at my question.

“Probably not.”

“Why?”

“Of course, it won’t be as dangerous as the Palind Continent, but humans and demons will have a clear hostile relationship. “The idea of avoiding war as much as possible, as mentioned by Lili, is only temporary.”

“When will that thought change?”

Arald responded as if it were obvious.

“Of course, it will be the moment they become convinced that they can destroy humanity.”
