Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 87 Chapter

25 Barrier (3)

At first it was clearly an arrow. It was natural since it was shot from a bow.

It gave off a strange light and cut through the air along with other arrows, but eventually split into dozens or hundreds of pieces.

“What is that…”

someone muttered, forgetting that a battle was imminent.

But there was no one to blame. Because everyone was watching that long trajectory.

The moment when the light became a halo of light and eventually the Milky Way, it reached the very close proximity of the monster.

Shoot,

each ray of light drew its own trajectory. The cluster of lights that seemed like an illusion turned out to be a clear reality and dispersed with the sound of rain.

Burbubbuk!

The monsters’ heads were pierced. I couldn’t scream because there was a hole in my throat. Some had their hearts pierced, while others were pierced from the top of their head to the groin.

The rain of arrows killed all the monsters. There were no missed arrows. Everyone accurately and ruthlessly pinpointed the monster’s vital points.

‘…This is a ‘firecracker’….’

Selena swallowed.

─The owner of the fireworks may be Frontier.

Despite the information that Mangot gave, Selena did not easily believe it. This was because what was recorded as ‘firecrackers’ when the monsters attacked Constel was so absurd.

However, it was witnessed before my eyes. It was a sight that was completely consistent with the record. No, the force of reality even felt like the record had been reduced.

“Demon monsters…”

someone said in a trembling voice. In an instant, a large number of monsters were lying dead. The advancing monsters stopped and hesitated.

The remaining monsters were only a handful. At this rate, even before reaching the barrier—

swoosh —

“Huh?”

Selena let out a sound at the sight of Frontier.

Frontier was pulling the bowstring and taking aim. In other words, it was the second arrow.

‘How can you possibly use that level of technology again?’

As if answering those thoughts,

a second firework flew out and decorated the air. The human side had forgotten any thoughts of fighting and was just staring at the scene blankly.

Kieeek! A loud roar was heard. The monsters now know its identity. I ran with all my might the same way I came.

The escape of the monster outside. This was a sight the soldiers here had never seen before. Of course

,

regardless of whether they escaped or not, the ‘firecrackers’ just mercilessly ended their

lives …

There wasn’t.

After a moment of silence, the knights scratched their heads and went out to check on the monster’s body, while the soldiers returned to the barracks.

The prisoners went back in just as they came out. Among them, there were those who repeatedly lowered their heads toward Frondier and shed tears.

Until now, the knights had praised Frontiere once in a while, but this time there was nothing like that.

People did their jobs like machines, as if there had never been a battle in the first place.

Everyone was trying to act as usual. Because I didn’t know how to react when I saw the ‘fireworks’ sight.

And Selena.

For some reason, Frontier is still looking out from the wall. Selena looked at him and lowered her eyes.

‘…this man.’

Selena took a step back. Originally, it was behind Frontier, but it went one step further.

‘Dangerous.’

Selena naturally placed her hand in her arms. Inside the colorful garment, the needle was already ‘loaded’.

The mission given to her by her superior, Hagley, is simply to escort and monitor Frondier.

The escort is to protect the ‘ability to interpret ancient languages’, and the surveillance is to prevent Frondier from thinking about anything else.

So Selena’s thoughts now are just based on her own judgment.

─If we kill Frontier here.

I haven’t figured out all of Frontier’s skills yet. During the battle so far, Frontier has never engaged in close combat.

Of all the information I received about Mangot so far, the only thing that was correct about Frontier was ‘Firecrackers’.

In other words, all the information that treated Frontier in a low light was a lie, and the truth was that it was a powerful weapon that was difficult to believe.

In this case, it must be said that there is no information about Frontier. Therefore, close combat may also be incredibly strong like a ‘firecracker’.

However, this is the moment when the opponent in this distance does not yet notice the hostility.

The distance and situation she is most confident in meets all the conditions.

A single-minded surprise attack might work.

“Selena.”

“…!”

Suddenly, Frontier called her. Selena flinched.

“Yes yes.”

“Do you have good eyesight?”

eye?

“If you say those eyes…”

“Literally.” The question is whether your eyesight is good. Or are you good at detecting mana or finding signs?”

“Yes yes. “It’s an area I’m confident in.”

He is an assassin chosen and trained for satisfaction. Everything Frontier said just now is like the basic skills of an assassin.

…But why does Frontier ask that? As if he knew he was good at that.

“I guess so.”

The sight of Frondier nodding as if it was obvious further aggravated the anxiety.

“Come next to me. And look ahead.”

Selena walked next to Frontier. It was decided to postpone the surprise attack.

…Somehow, the timing of Frondier’s conversation was so elaborate that it occurred to me that he might have been caught.

“Can you see the forest over there?”

“…Yes, you mean ‘sacred forest.’”

A forest with lush green trees that can be seen at a glance beyond the Tavern wall. Everyone calls it the ‘sacred forest.’

This is because it is an area that should have been polluted by monsters long ago, but no monsters can approach that forest.

Of course, I don’t know that ‘Excalibur’ is sleeping there, but it was already recognized as a special forest in the eyes of people.

“Keep an eye on that forest. It’s good to see with your eyes and maximize your senses. Anyway, search through there.”

“…What are you looking for?”

“There must be someone.”

someone? In that forest?

Selena thought it was ridiculous. That is the outside area.

Even though the sacred forest is a place where monsters cannot enter, humans cannot go there in the first place.

But for now, I did as Frontier told me. I focused my attention on my eyes and maximized my mood. Well, if you don’t have it, you can just say it doesn’t exist.

“…uh?”

But I felt it. A faint but faint trace of mana, so faint that one cannot even tell whether it is a monster or a human.

“Is there anyone?”

“…I don’t know if it’s a person or something, but it’s there. Faintly. But it could just be a small animal…”

“Do you really think that? “The presence you felt was a small animal.”

…no.

Small animals cannot sense anything at this distance. If you feel a presence even from this far away, it definitely means that what’s inside is not ordinary.

“no. It’s definitely a mana you can’t pass up. But why didn’t I feel it until now and why do I feel it now?”

And how did Frondier predict that Mana would be found now?

Frontier gave only half of the answer.

“I came to check the situation. “His troops were annihilated in an instant, so he stepped a little closer to the wall to figure out what was going on.”

“Your medical history…? no way! Mr. Frondier….”

Frondier nodded.

“There is a ‘commander’ of monsters in that sacred forest.”

* * *

Vacant lot in front of the accommodation.

Aten was facing a fear he had never felt before.

“Hehe hehe… Ha! How do you feel?”

Cybel proudly puffed out her chest and swaggered. However, the sweaty face and panting breath made it somewhat less convincing.

“…Incredible.”

“haha! right? It would be funny if something like this caught me! Ahem!”

Cybel chatted excitedly, thinking that Aten was giving a formal compliment.

But it wasn’t Aten.

To Cybel, Aten seemed calm, but Aten just didn’t know what else to say in this situation.

‘…It won’t take even 5 days.’

Cybel’s training has already almost entered the practical stage.

The content was simple. Light a fire under the ice sculpture that Aten made. Meanwhile, Cybel infuses mana into the ice sculpture created by Aten to prevent it from melting.

At first, the ice melted quickly, but then 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes… it increased slowly and very smoothly, and before I knew it, Saibel had surpassed 1 hour.

‘This isn’t even the concept of genius. ‘I understand why Frontier said that.’

If Aten were to describe Cybel’s talent, it would be an intuition that is sure to hit the mark.

Infuse mana into the created ice to prevent it from melting. Anyone can do it if they have mana. If you take enough time to learn it.

However, people repeat countless failures in the process of learning something. Through repeated trial and error, we find out what is wrong, what is right, and what is efficient and effective.

And to embody it. All of these processes take place naturally.

However, Cybel does not have this process of trial and error. All of her intuition turns out to be correct.

Try to do it the right way the first time you try it, so you learn it by taking the shortest steps without any brakes.

“But why does the ice sculpture look like this?”

Cybel quietly looked at the ice sculpture that Aten had made.

I didn’t pay much attention at first, but when I looked at it, I realized it wasn’t just a piece of ice.

“Is this a hammer? “The hammer looks cute because it’s made a little dark.”

As Cybel said, Aten’s ice sculpture was in the shape of a hammer. It didn’t sit well with Aten.

“…The hilt is very short. “Where have I seen something like this?”

Crunch –

Immediately after Cybel muttered, the ice sculpture disappeared.

“Huh what?”

“…I canceled the spell. Next time, let’s try something a little bigger.”

“Hmm…? What is it? “The barrier will be much bigger than this!”

Cybel thought Aten’s behavior was a little strange, but he spoke cheerfully. Actually, I didn’t have much time.

“Oh, you were here. both.”

At that time, someone walked from the mansion. It was Frontier.

Aten sighed with relief. If Frontier had seen the ice sculpture just now, it wouldn’t have mattered, but still, there was something…

“Ah! Frontier! “You make me run strange errands without even telling you!”

“sorry. The work on the wall is too urgent. Thank you for your help. really.”

“Hmm, well, hm, okay.”

Saibel scratched his head because Frontier was surprisingly low. There were a lot of things I wanted to say, but it all seemed to have gotten better.

“Is the training going well?”

“then! They succeeded in maintaining the ice for an hour! Of course, he’s a little guy.”

That in two days.

It was a story that would have shocked others, but Frondier just nodded.

“also.”

“Can’t you surprise me a little more?”

“sorry. “I’m not really surprised.”

As for Cybel, these things are not surprising.

Aten heard the hidden meaning and looked at Frondier for a moment.

“But I heard it.”

After speaking like that, Frondier cleared his throat once.

I was trying to talk about the real purpose of coming here.

“Sibel, I heard you were riding Cassian when you came here?”

Cassian. The best horse in the central region.

Cybel said he borrowed it from Constell, which is probably true.

“Yeah, why is that?”

“Lend me for a moment.”

“Kassian? “It doesn’t matter, but we only fought on the wall. What are we going to do with Cassian?”

“I feel like I will definitely need it soon.”

After saying that, Frondier smiled normally.

Cybel nodded without thinking at that languid and relaxed face.

In other words, I was deceived by Frontier’s peaceful face.
