Chapter 57 Sacrifice (3)
The raindrops falling from the sky drew a curve and flew to the monsters. Exactly one at a time, they pierced the lives of demons.
Chryselakatos aims at the enemy’s vital points. In other words, avoid the black buried by the black monster. Aiming at the weakest part of the untouched part of black, the arrow of the god pierces the body of the monster.
Unless all vital points were completely covered with black, there was no meaning to Chrycelakatos, such as asking a monster about black.
‘Look at me… … !’
Frontier forced his convulsive eyes open and checked the arrow’s trajectory. He didn’t care about the monsters outside. He sees only black monsters.
Chryselakatos is looking for weaknesses. Unlike the monsters outside who avoid black, there’s no point in avoiding black to those who were all black in the first place.
So, by looking at the part where the arrow is being hit, you can see the weakness of the black monster.
For this moment, it was more efficient than analysis.
‘… … Back or spine?’
Arrows aimed at the black monster pierced their backs, not their heads or hearts. Of course, there were some that aimed at the head and pierced them, but most of them pierced the spine of the black monster, the center of it.
After engraving them in your eyes one by one,
“Aww!! Heh heh heh… … !”
Frontier screamed and shook his hands. The bow lost its shape and flowed into black water.
Frontier, who used mana exhaustion as a training process. Now he doesn’t get stunned by mana depletion.
He is used to exhaustion itself, and knows how to draw mana after that. The experience of forcibly swallowing a dragon heart when there was no Penelope’s cloth was also helpful.
… … However, there is a good reason why humans become stunned when they reach mana exhaustion.
“Heh heh heh… … !”
I haven’t been able to breathe since. Saliva ran down his lips and ran dirty. Cold sweat or something unknown covered my eyes and ran down the tip of my nose and dripped. Some fell to the ground and some were buried in helmets.
To use magic with a body with low mana means to replace something else with mana. Blood and sweat, if that’s not enough, something more important.
Originally, even this was not a method allowed by humans, but Frontier’s body ‘remembered’ that method after eating Dragon Heart and returning to the brink of death. But obviously that wasn’t the right way.
“Hey, hey, are you okay… … ?”
The soldier who had been commanding loudly a while ago rushed over and looked at Frontier’s complexion.
Unless there was an eye problem, it was obvious that it was Frontier who just fired the bow.
I thought it was an ordinary soldier wearing a helmet, but it wasn’t. The man who was ordering looked at Frontier nervously.
“Aim for your back.”
“What, what?”
“etc. The center of the spine is the weak point. You don’t have to get it right, a rough cut would be fatal.”
In fact, the arrow didn’t even hit a very precise spot in the spine. Maybe that edge is all weakness. It’s difficult to deal with while you think your head or chest is your weakness, but it’ll be easier to kill when the vital points are revealed like now.
“Hey, you, what are you… … .”
Only then did the man come to his senses and shut his mouth while trying to shout at Frontier.
Frontier’s eyes seen through the gap in the helmet. Facing it, the man died in an instant.
“… … uh, hey! The weakness of the black guys is their backs! Aim for the center of your back!”
The man secretly moved to another place, grabbed the man who looked good and shouted. The information was so important and so urgent that it quickly spread from mouth to mouth.
‘First of all, I blocked it right away… … .’
The monsters that were swept away by the ‘fireworks’. However, even after swept away, the army of demons continued to attack. I just had some spare time.
A legion of demons with no end in sight. At this point, rather than worrying about the barrier breaking through and horseback, I was worried about whether the soldiers and knights would still have the strength to raise their swords until they got rid of them all.
At that time, Frontier unintentionally saw the black stream flowing down the floor. The necklace with restoration magic will draw all of that black water soon, but until then, the black stream just becomes black water and flows in all directions.
And the black sky touched the black that the corpses of the black monsters had made a while ago and tied them together.
It wasn’t a big deal, but it was a natural result of gravity and the flow of liquid.
‘… … Try it.’
Frontier stretched out his hand. The black that the black demons stretched out, towards the black sky that touched it.
Originally, black cloth is a material that Frontier cannot play with in the air. It’s not a weapon made out of Menosorphos. When it leaves Frontier’s hand, it’s just a liquid.
However, when Frontier reached out to the flowing black stream, grabbed it, and pulled it back again.
kugugu-
“Uh, huh? Look at that!”
“The mountain of corpses falls!”
The first soldier to find it shouted.
On the uphill road where the demons had crossed the barrier, a mass of corpses lost its power and scattered like garbage. He lost the strength that had been bound up until now, and naturally broke through under the influence of gravity.
And the black that bound those demons, that is, the Black Heaven.
“… … indeed.”

Now, it is in the hands of Frontier.Obviously, he is holding a larger amount than the original black cloth.
‘Black Heaven was in the form of chryselakatos a while ago, so much of my mana remains.’
I knew that until now. Of course, that mana will dissipate over time, but for a very short time, he thought he could control the Black Sky that fell into Frontier’s hands.
However, even the black that had touched the black sky, originally spread by the black demons, returned to his hand.
In other words.
‘… … Mana remains in this black.’
That’s definitely not Frontier’s mana. The mana of the black monster, no, the fragments of Helheim itself. However, the moment he touched Frontier’s Black Heaven, all of his mana returned to his hands as if he was the owner of Frontier.
As if the master of mana changed to Frontier.
To prove it, Frontier didn’t spend any mana when he just ‘recovered’ the Black Sky.
“… … .”
Frontier held the black cloth in his hand with a strange expression and opened and closed it. Heukcheon, which hardens with metal every time you apply force, stayed in his hand, showing dazzling movements.
and.
Crack?
A black monster met Frontier’s eyes.
“… … .”
Frontier looked at the monster for a moment without saying a word. The black monster didn’t even think about attacking for some reason and looked at Frontier blankly.
The black monsters that were just born from the fragments of Helheim are not mature in their thinking. It is just full of endless malice and living towards humans.
The strategy of tying the corpse’s acid into one mass was also because he received an ‘order’, he didn’t think of it on his own.
So, of course, facing the human Frontier, he would not be able to bear his life and would rush to death. For some reason, he was looking at Frontier without moving as if he had been nailed down.
──The wildness as a monster was revealed.
If you try to attack Frontier now, something worse than death awaits you.
Kreuk, Kreuk, Keggeek!!
After making his judgment, the black monster turned his back and ran away. I don’t know what Frontier was going to do, but what was in those eyes was not the thought of killing a monster.
If that was the case, the black monster would have attacked Frontier earlier.
The black monster flew in the air while looking back at the barrier that had risen up to the maximum. I didn’t even think of looking back.
There was no murderous intent in Frontier’s eyes. that’s-
“Where are you going?”
shhh-
Whoops!
Frontier sharpened the black cloth and inserted it into the back of the black monster. The monster hung in the air. It was not made for any specific type of weapon. By manipulating the remaining mana, he simply turned the black stream into a long branch and inserted it into the monster.
“I have something to try.”
Due to repeated battles and severe mana exhaustion, Frontier showed signs of fatigue. But his lips were smiling. It wasn’t bluff, it wasn’t crazy. He smiled like this even before using ‘Fireworks’.
Does Frontier know what that languid smile makes the enemies who see it think?
“Can you help me?”
The black monster couldn’t understand any of Frontier’s words.
There is definitely something I don’t know.
Frontier didn’t intend to kill the black monster.
He had no interest in the death of black monsters. Frontier’s eyes,
It was like the pupils of a child plucking the wings of a dragonfly.
Kwok.
Just as Frontier recovered the black that had been buried in the demons, this time the black monster itself was dragged away as if it were a black sky.
Moment.
Keek!!
The black monster screamed. It was a scream of fear rather than a scream of pain. A sense of losing oneself, a sense of being transformed into a non-living thing without even the act of killing a newborn life.
Literally, Frontier was recovering black monsters as ‘mana’.
“Ugh, uh, uh… … !”
Of course, Frontier, who did such a dangerous thing, was not without damage. The moment he was about to recover the black monster, the sensation Frontier felt was more disgust than pain.
He was trying to bring mana from the world of the dead to his own.
In a completely separate realm where each other does not allow each other, robbery steals its owner through the medium of the Black Heaven. A taboo area that goes beyond simple murder.
If an ordinary person had done it, all the screams of the dead, the smell of the corpse, and the image of death itself would have been poured into his soul and he would have gone crazy long ago.
However, Frontier.
“Noisy… … !”
With only that word, he dismissed the world of the dead.
Shoo!
In an instant, he grabbed the black monster in his hand. The monster lost its shape and became just a black sky. No, it became a ‘fragment of Helheim’.
“town! Whoops… … !”
Frontier could barely stand the rise of nausea. The aftermath of fighting the black monster came all at once.
There were only a few nauseating attacks at one time, so Frontier was definitely not normal. I don’t know what you think of yourself.
“… … It’s a little different too.”
Frontier looked at the fragments in his hand. Although the appearance was similar to the black cloth he always used, there was something fundamentally different in the sense of energy and movement.
‘… … Demons born from fragments.’
When Frontier heard that a black monster was born from the fragments of Helheim at first, he was very puzzled.
Creating something can be passed on as God’s work to disrupt Frontier. If it were a god, he would be able to make even a single mountain rise if he puts his mind to it.
But can a god create a monster by simply using the fragments of Helheim? If the fragments are really the same material as the Black Heaven, how can you create a monster with will from this simple material that only turns into metal when you apply force?
Heukcheon is the dregs after doing ‘something’ with the fragments of Helheim. Previously, Frontier had guessed so.
And now, the answer has come.
‘The fragments of Helheim have a will from the beginning. God has properly extracted that will.’
Whether the fragments of Helheim hate humans themselves, or whether God gave them such aversion after they were extracted.
I don’t know which one it is, but no matter how much a god he is, he will not be able to create a monster from something he has no will. Had that been possible, I wouldn’t have used Helheim’s fragments.
‘A monster born from fragments, a will of the fragment itself, a metal with a will… … .’
And, the authority of the owner.
Frontier just felt it. The feeling of stealing the master of mana from a black monster.
Surprisingly, the feeling was not unfamiliar.
‘So did Excalibur in the lake.’
In the past, Frontier went into the lake to get Excalibur. Of course, he couldn’t pull out the Excalibur, but he did hold it.
The feeling I had when I just recovered the black monster was similar to that time.
‘Now I know. What are the fragments of Helheim? No, what effect Helheim had on this world.’
After Ragnarok, a fragment of Helheim that has not completely disappeared from this world.
The history of humans built up after that, the footprints of heroes and weapons.
And a legend like Excalibur, where the weapon itself chooses its owner.
‘The power flowing from Helheim was the prototype of the Ego Sword.’
A weapon that has its own will, the ego sword. At the end of it, there are Excalibur and Gram, who choose their master for themselves.
If you wish, there is a possibility that this one that Frontier is holding now will also become another ego sword if you spend enough time and find a way.
“Well, that’s for later.”
Frontier looked at the battlefield with a more relaxed face.
The mana that was lacking due to the recent recovery has risen quite a bit.

No matter how many demons had seen the scene where the black monster was brutally sucked in, surprisingly, some of the demons showed signs of fear.Fragments, that is, the recovery of black monsters. For Frontier if this is still possible.

Now, the black monsters shouldn’t be here.It does not use any mana, but rather only replenishes the mana of the Frontier, the greatest threat on this battlefield.
Black monsters that took time to overcome human barriers.
“Sometimes in games,”
They are from this very moment.
“There are times when I try to get a weapon devised by my enemies to cut blood.”
It will only become a sacrifice for Frontier.
“I mean, this is really fun.”
That sad effort kills his side.
Frontier laughed inconsistent with the content of the words.
