The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 421
Chapter 120: Machia (9)
A man who appears in front of Kala.
He was dressed in a knight’s uniform and even armed with a sword at his waist.
As if waiting for a fight to break out within this atlas.
Carla took a step back, as if wary of the approaching man, and briefly checked Frondier next to her.
Frontier stands motionless as before.
Obviously, his body had become quite strong, but he was not sure whether he would be able to survive a blow from an enemy in this state.
If the time he wakes up again is similar to before.
‘It wasn’t that long, but it was long enough for someone to decide and attack.’
Carla looked straight at the man and said.
“What’s going on? Sir Antero.”
Antero didn’t respond to Kala’s words, but glanced at Frondier next to him.
“Who is that man?”
“There would be no reason for a knight of the country to come all the way here, right?”
A situation where each side ignores the other’s questions.
Antero’s frown narrowed at that.
“You’ve become quite arrogant, huh? medusa.”
“…who is that?”
Carla asked and even smiled provocatively.
Frontier’s current condition is dangerous. That’s why he wants to turn Antero’s attention to her.
Antero pursed his lips.
“You probably don’t know your situation, right? “Do you think you would be able to live like you do now if you treated me carelessly?”
“…I am keeping my promise. You’re gathering information about the devil. “You’re already doing enough dangerous things.”
At Carla’s words, Antero looked at her for a moment, then turned his gaze back to Frondier.
“Is it really that important? “That man?”
“…!”
As expected, it attracted attention for a while, but it wasn’t enough.
Certainly, Frontier’s current state seems very strange to others. It must be even more suspicious to Antero that Carla is staying by his side.
“Hmm, you really have a nice face. Do monsters also cover things like that?”
“….”
Carla didn’t bother to answer.
In fact, the feeling that struck her as soon as she saw Frontier did not come from his appearance.
But there is no need to explain it to Antero in detail.
“But looking at it, it looks like he’s just an asshole with a normal face.”
Jerk.
Antero took a step forward. At the same time, Carla became very nervous.
Crash.
Antero’s sword is drawn, and
“If I put that guy’s life on the scale, will my dealings with you go more smoothly?”
“Antero!”
Kala stood in front of Frontier as if blocking him.
Antero frowned, as if that was rather unpleasant.
“What are you planning to do?”
“If it gets any closer than that, what do you think I’ll do?”
Antero let out a laugh as if he was taken aback by Carla’s threat.
“You really want to use petrification? “You’re going to turn me into stone?”
“….”
“Kala. Did you fall for an asshole and become an asshole with him? Shouldn’t you have told me in advance what would happen if you petrified me? I had layers of security and tracking magic installed. Your identity and location will be discovered in an instant and you will become an enemy of this country, no, this entire continent. Do you want to be like that?”
Carla bit her lower lip.
Actually, it’s a threat and all, but she can’t use petrification anymore.
She feels exactly that way. The curse from Athena has disappeared.
I had no idea where the mighty power that was so difficult to control had gone, and that I would be able to use it at all.
As Frontier said, she became ordinary.
At this point, Carla no longer needs to deal with Antero.
Except at this moment, when Frontier is in danger.
‘Even if my curse is gone, Antero won’t believe me. Rather, I might touch Frontier to confirm it.’
Either way, there is no change in the fact that Frontier is in a dangerous situation.
In that case, it would be better to bluff to protect Frontier.
Using the petrification ability that no longer exists as a shield, Antero is forced to retreat.
Carla smiled.
“It doesn’t matter anymore.”
“…what?”
“I am keeping my promise. The period you suggested is not over yet. “If you interfere with me any longer, I will beat you up and everything.”
“….”
Antero closed his mouth at those words and looked at Kala and Frondier alternately.
Carla spoke again.
“It’s your turn to keep your promise.”
Antero tilted his head. A face mixed with boredom and irritation.
“…no.”
With that same expression on his face, Antero recited lowly.
“There’s no way you would make that choice.”
“…!”
“Because you bitch can’t accept reality. “You still think you’re human.”
Antero walked again. Gradually, we approach Kala and Frontier.
He looked at Carla with pure contempt.
“On the subject of monsters.”
* * *
Athena screamed in front of me and threw her head back as if running away.
It seems like he escaped from nothingness.
“Oh, are you awake?”
“My, my eyes! Ahh! “I can’t see the front, I can’t see the front!”
“Ah, the Pantemonium I created is like that. You experienced it being partially erased. This time, that’s just the whole thing.”
“No, that’s not it! “I’m blind, I’m blind!”
“Yeah, I feel blind. Of course, I don’t have that sense, but Bael too,”
“Take away that light!!”
ah.
Only then did I cancel the still brilliant wisp.
The magic used as a spell decision occurs in large numbers and occurs frequently, so it takes some time to cancel.
Crackling, crackling –
the moment it goes off somehow resembles a fireworks display. The amount of light decreases, blinks, and then disappears with a small sound.
“Okay, turn it off.”
“Whoa, whoa…”
Athena was covering her eyes with her hands as if she was still in pain.
Hmm, that organizer.
“Si, I thought I was going blind.”
Athena seemed to have calmed down a bit and took her eyes off her hands. The jewel-like eyes already seem to sparkle a little more. Is it because of my mood?
“How can God cause blindness like this? “It’s too much pressure.”
“You don’t mind because it’s your magic! “How dare you show such ignorant magic right in front of me!”
Athena said as if it were unfair.
Then he placed his fingers on his head.
“What kind of magic is this…?”
It seemed like he was searching for the magic he knew in his head. But it didn’t seem to come out easily, and the whining went on for a long time.
I can’t believe God doesn’t know this basic magic. It’s disappointing.
But since I am kind, I decided to explain kindly.
“It’s called Will O the Wisp. “It’s a light magic used to light up dark places,”
“What kind of wisp is that?!” “The power and purpose are completely different!”
Athena shouted as if she was dumbfounded.
But even so, a wisp is a wisp.
“If you don’t believe me, would you like to see it again?”
“Oh no! it’s okay! go away!”
I hate it loudly.
After that, Athena seemed to have calmed down a bit and looked around.
“…Where am I?”
“I think I’ve said this several times before, but it’s in my pantemonium.”
Athena looked around with a mixture of fear and curiosity.
It was the same during Bael, but it doesn’t seem to be affected by this space as long as I’m here. I don’t know if it’s because I broke the rules of Pentamonia, or if it’s a characteristic of my power.
“You really can enter the Pantemonium again.”
Athena looked at me as if she was once again surprised.
Then he placed his hand over his mouth and made a serious face.
“…I can’t believe there is a human being capable of something like this. If this happens, the balance may be lost…”
“What balance?”
“Oh, no. “This is the story.”
“If I don’t say something, they won’t let me out of here?”
“hey! Where can I find something like that? The promise was to let you out! “Are you going to break your promise?”
Well, the promise was that I would get Athena out of here, and Athena would give me information.
But I said.
“Athena. “I think I’ve forgotten, but I’m human.”
“Well, why is that?”
“I don’t know what it’s like with God, but humans sometimes don’t keep their promises.”
Athena opened her mouth and said, “Huh.”
“Si, are you going to break your promise to God?”
“Just give me a hint. “I was very concerned about those words just now.”
I’m only half joking, but I’d like to know what you’re talking about if possible.
Is there something more to the fact that I can re-enter the Pantemonium than I know?
“Hint, I said that…”
Athena said that, but then seemed to change her mind and muttered again.
“No, depending on the situation, it might actually be beneficial for this guy to know…”
“So what are you talking about?”
“Are you planning on giving Poseidon a punch?”
“…Well, that’s not the purpose.”
I probably have no choice but to go through that process.
Athena said.
“As far as I know, you are the only one who can re-enter the Pantemonium right now.”
“Yes, I know.”
I heard that from the devil Marco. All the devils tried but failed.
But I didn’t know it included the gods.
‘It’s not that Marco was hiding the fact from me, but rather that he didn’t know that gods were included in the pantemonium.’
Gods like Athena knew from the beginning, but Marco did not know.
Knowledge that a devil like Marco doesn’t know. The devils down there don’t know anything.
Athena continued speaking.
“You said it was ‘my’ Pantemonium earlier, but just because you won doesn’t mean the Pantemonium is yours.”
“I heard that too, but it feels good to call it mine.”
“…What kind of devilish idea is that?”
Athena looks at me with cold eyes.
She said with a sigh.
“Just because you win doesn’t mean it’s mine. “Just think that it might be more advantageous to think that way.”
“…hmm?”
Pantemonium is not mine just because I won it. That idea is more advantageous?
Athena looked at my expression for a moment and clapped her hands.
“Okay, here’s the hint.”
“…Even if I hear the hint, I don’t know what it means.”
“If you tell me so that everyone knows, what kind of hint is that? “If that’s the case, it’s more efficient to just say the right answer.”
“That’s right. “While we’re at it, why not make an efficient choice?”
“I absolutely hate it!”
Well, I don’t want to be unreasonable any more.
He gave me a hint that I couldn’t figure out right away. In other words, this hint itself is not false.
“good. “Let’s get out now.”
I put my hand out in the air.
As for going outside, you can do the same since you did it during Bael. Just leave the same way you came in.
But there Athena spoke.
“Frondier. “One last thing.”
“what?”
“I’ve never even thought about leaving the Pantemonium, but if that were to happen, common sense would dictate that the two people inside would return to their original world.”
“Well, I guess so. “It actually did.”
“In other words, I will return to the world of salvation, and you will return to the human world. In that case, you won’t be able to interfere with me unless you use Pantemonium again. Besides, I won’t be able to curse Kala anymore, so I won’t be able to do that either.”
“Yes, I know.”
“Do you really believe I will help you? I’m going to give you information about Poseidon? Knowing that you won’t be able to interfere with me?”
In other words, the completely opposite situation from before.
It is unknown whether she will keep her promise after saving Athena. Besides, Athena was Kala’s enemy, so there’s a high chance she wouldn’t want to help me.
I said to him:
“It doesn’t matter.”
“…what?”
“My first goal was to attract Kala. “Just because you got away from Kala, you achieved your initial goal.”
And if Athena really doesn’t want to meet me, she certainly won’t curse Kala again. It acts as a kind of security.
“And you hate Poseidon. “I hate it too.”
“…It’s hard to answer, but yes.”
“Then you probably want to pit those two against each other. of course.”
At my words, the corner of Athena’s eye became strangely distorted.
“Are you smart? Or are you so stupid?”
The Goddess of Wisdom asked me a profound question.
So I answered the Goddess of Wisdom.
“Similar to you.”
