Chapter 58 Toward the Fragments (4)
When the people moved all the wounded and went inside, the door to the workshop was closed.
It was so busy and hectic that I couldn’t tell if it actually closed in 3 minutes.
However, while they were all inside, Frontier completely blocked the approach of the demons.
“As a representative, I would like to express my deepest gratitude.”
As Frontier entered the workshop, the leader bowed his head to him. Inside the workshop, the surroundings were bright with the spheres of light the wizards had already floated.
“We would all be dead without you.”
Frontier did not deny or affirm that statement.
I just slowly looked around the people who came in.
“If you are truly grateful, please make one promise with me.”
“What?”
“It’s not just about getting your promises. Everyone here, please listen to what I have to say.”
At Frontier’s words, everyone turned to him.
said Frontier.
“I know you guys are ‘Ambu’.”
“… … !”
Most of those words did not change their expressions, but that couldn’t be all. A devastating battle, injuries to colleagues, sudden salvation, and an unidentified man. It was difficult for all of them to maintain their composure in the face of various situations.
“Hey, what… … .”
Someone even made such a useless protest, so it was clear how cornered they were.
Frontier said, ignoring the protest.
“I have seen all your faces now. They wouldn’t have to wear a mask to fight monsters, so everyone must have a bare face. We know each other’s faces well now.”
Frontier pulled his cheeks to show that he wasn’t wearing a mask. In fact, it had been a long time since he had taken off the mask he wore during the barrier.
“So we didn’t see each other today. First of all, you must keep this promise.”
“I didn’t see… … ?”
“Yes. You weren’t saved by anyone, you’ve never seen a building like this in the first place, and you’ve just returned from your mission. Nothing happened here, and everything worked out your way.”
At Frontier’s words, the people looked at each other’s faces.
In other words, it was something I had never seen before.
“If you keep this promise, I will not speak out about you and the existence of ‘Ambu’.”
That is, they hide each other.
There was nothing bad about this proposal from Ambu’s point of view. They don’t know much about Frontier, and there’s no reason to hesitate that they hide the secret information on their own.
Most importantly, if Frontier had not saved them, they would not have survived their mission. If the price was that much, it was very cheap.
“… … All right.”
“And one more thing. I’m not asking you to follow this, it’s like advice.”
“What?”
When the leader asked, Frontier raised his right hand lightly.
At first they did not understand the meaning of the action, but soon they felt the light weight being applied from above.
I’ve felt this feeling somewhere. when riding an elevator.
In other words.
‘Did this building float in the air?’
as their guess.
Frontier lifted the workshop into the air.
The members of the dark department were astonished to see the Frontier, which had put so many numbers inside and lifted it with a single gesture.
“I’m going to break the shards from now on.”
With their surprised faces behind them, said Frontier.
“So, don’t come out of this building.”
* * *
Frontier opened the workshop door and went up to the roof of the building.
Glacier floating in the air. The fragments in it were still creating black monsters one after another on the ground.
“… … It would be exhausting if I could create that level of monsters, but it’s amazing.”
Selena narrowed her eyes next to Frontier.
Considering the barrier battle, the number of black monsters was enormous. And most of the black monsters that Frontier killed have turned into Black Heaven and are contained within his necklace.
In other words, even after making a decent amount of black monsters, the fragments are still the same size. It is an endless quantity.
But Frontier shook his head.
“Not exhausted.”
“yes?”
“It is unlikely that the debris in that glacier will be exhausted.”
“Why, why?”
At Selena’s question, Frontier opened her mouth as if to say something, but then closed it again as if she remembered something. She smiled and put her hand on Selena’s head.
“You will find out soon.”
Selena didn’t ask him any more. Frontier is usually good at talking, but I’ve never heard a proper story by rushing to answer. Above all, Selena herself didn’t want to do that.
“Selena, can you transfer yet?”
Transition is also not infinitely possible to spend mana.
Especially for Selena, it’s even more difficult because Selena had a group that transferred all the horses and one person including her to come in a hurry.
“of course. It is enough to keep Frontier-sama by his side.”
But Selena answered boldly.
The answer would have been very satisfying to Frontier, but for some reason, Frontier’s expression darkened.
Selena questioned him, but Frontier turned his head again.
“great. Let’s go break the shards.”
Selena nodded at Frontier’s words. Soon her eyes sank deeply. After confirming that, Frontier spread his hands.
Weaving (織造), Heukcheon
Rank – Legendary
Excalibur
A shining sword in his hand. Frontier checked Penelope’s cloth. More than half of the fabric that had been tied to his arm in a hurry because he didn’t have time to tie it with a tie was now gone.
“… … I think there are more fabrics left than last time.”
“In the meantime, the total amount of mana has increased, and the mana of the fragments has been used continuously.”
Frontier used the mana of the black monster even after obtaining Penelope’s cloth.
Thanks to that, Frontier had already almost disappeared, and half of Penelope’s cloth was still there.
“But when you break that shard, you have nothing to hide. I’m going to spend all my mana here. I don’t know if it will break even if I use all of this.”
“Yes.”
“I will reach you by flight first, so follow me to the transference.”
Selena nodded her head. Frontier clenched his sword. With one deep breath, his mana began to dwell in Excalibur.
Soup, whoo.
After completing the usual breathing.
Frontier kicked the floor and rushed towards the glacier.
“Ugh!”
Frontier’s body cut through the air in a straight line towards the glacier. Demons rushed in to stop him from charging.
In order to focus all this energy on a single point of glacier, such as a blade full of mana, a high-speed flight using Menosorpo and Auror, Frontier cut off his nerves and flew in.
There were no winged things that ran towards him, no wild dogs, no giant monsters the size of a house. The cry that resembled that scream did not reach her ears.
Anything that would take his life, instead of Frontier.
Baba Bak!
Selena’s needle rising above Frontier’s shadow solved it instead.
‘Think, see, it’s difficult… … !’
Selena killed the monsters that approached Frontier by repeating the transition.
A frontier that advances towards a point at high speed, not on the ground, but in the air. It wasn’t normal for him to repeat the transition and destroy the monsters around him. Selena’s eyes started to get dizzy.
But Selena did it. In the constantly changing scene in front of me and the dizzying cross between up and down, left and right, I fired a needle and destroyed the approaching monsters.
Of course, Selena could not continue to respond in this way.
“Ha-ha-!!”
Frontier’s strike hit the glacier faster.
Kwa-a-ang-!!
In the moment when the sword and the glacier collided with each other, Selena felt like she was about to fly away at the sound of a huge blast and the air exploding.
“Heh… … !”
However, clenching her teeth, Selena persisted as an auror with a needle on the floor.
It would have been easier if her weapon had been a little thicker and longer, but there is nothing to be done if you regret it.
“Ugh, uh… … !”
A sound leaked through the frontier’s molars. The glacier was harder than Frontier thought.
I thought that Excalibur would be able to break through it at once if it had swallowed all of its mana, but surprisingly, the glacier did not break in this blow. They are clearly protected by God. Frontier was convinced.
But the gold was going. No matter how hard it is, it is an Excalibur with enough mana.
“Frondier… … !”
Selena called out his name. Frontier only cares about the glacier, but even now, monsters are approaching him every moment.
It’s just that it’s not easy to get close to the gusts from the clash of swords and glaciers.
“Frondier! Come on!”
Selena’s call. When Frontier heard the voice, he raised his left hand holding the sword and took it to Heukryeon.
Suddenly, the necklace was smashed and all the black cloth that Frontier had been collecting spilled out. Frontier manipulated it, turning it into sharp thorns, and shooting at cracks in the glacier.
Kwaduk, Kwaduk!
It worked, and the glacial gold gradually lengthened, and the gold soon cracked.
But there was also a problem. As he couldn’t handle all the black streams that flowed out, the rest spread widely around him.
The monsters that touched him opened their red eyes and barked. Fortunately, Selena had no problem when she touched him, but she cried out in bewilderment at the appearance of the monsters around her.
“Frondier! You don’t need to break that necklace anymore! They said they improved it to be able to take it out a little!”
“I don’t know how to get a little bit out!!”
oh
Come to think of it, Selena couldn’t even hear how to use it because she was in such a hurry.
Kwaduk, Kwadduk!
But Frontier’s ignorant methods worked well enough for the glacier.
The gap in the glacier that was opened by the crack soon enveloped the whole, and eventually.
damn!
Aww!!
The glacier was completely broken.
“Frondier! You did it,”
Seeing that, Selena exclaimed with joy.
But right after the glacier was crushed, in that instant.
Frontier looked at Selena once. There was no joy in those eyes. He checked Selena’s location and prepared something.
‘uh… … ?’
Selena doesn’t know. The difference between the fragments of Helheim in the glacier and the Black Spring of Frontier.
Selena was worried about what would happen after the glacier burst. If it’s a huge amount of liquid, it could be dangerous if you get caught in it.
However, from the beginning, Frontier didn’t think that was even a disaster.
What Frontier learned intuitively when he absorbed the black monster.
that’s right-
[The power of Helheim does not only work with monsters, sweetheart.]
the voice you hear. A sense of heterogeneity that seems to be transmitted to the head rather than the ears. A scale of power that seems to be overwhelmed by its weight the moment you hear it.
Selena shook her head. Except for her and Frontier, the time of the world stopped for an instant.
The fragments of Helheim were originally the place where the gods used demons for the advent of the gods.
The worship of the demons for those few days met the conditions, if not perfect.
Descent of God.
[Is that one handful of humans enough to drive you crazy?]
“… … Hela.”
Frontier called his name.
hella. In Norse mythology, Helheim, the goddess of the underworld.
Just as Helheim’s original name was Hel, so was her original name Hel. In mythology, the world and the goddess in charge are called by the same name, ‘Hell’, but each name is given separately to distinguish them.
[Other gods were making a lot of noise, so I wondered what kind of kid he was.]
Hela had a beautiful face, but she had no blood, and her body was dry. Her skin was a little blue because she was too white overall, but to Selena’s eyes, it looked like she was wearing winter.
[Human strength and intelligence is at best like this.]
A boring voice that sounds like disappointment. The gaze that looked at Frontier as if looking at insignificant things.
[Even if I can’t kill myself because my advent is not complete, if I reach out my hand to death like this.]
Moreover, in Hela’s eyes filled with pathetic feelings, Selena was the first to be pissed off instead of Frontier.
[There is nothing I can do about it.]
As soon as the Greek words were finished, time passed again.
Then Frontier reached out. Broken glacier, the endless fragments of Helheim that flow out of it. I touched that dreadful liquid.
‘Frondier… … ?’
Selena couldn’t understand the act. Selena didn’t know what it meant to touch the shards.
However, as soon as the glacier burst, the ominous liquid that appeared from it rose as soon as it saw it.
Humans must not come into contact with this liquid. Frontier already knew that.
Selena did everything she could to protect Frontier. As she said, the transfer to protect Frontier has been unfolded, so another transfer is now impossible.
so that.
“Selena.”
Frontier looked at Selena.
The moment it touched the fragment, the color of Frontier’s face had already changed.
“F, Fron, Dear—”
Selena quivered her lips, chanting Frontier’s name.
Frontier smiled at Selena like a boy, even though the pain from the shards covered her body.
Instead of the authoritative tone he’s used to talk to Selena.
“thank you.”
Aww-!!
at the end of that one word.
He took all the fragments of Helheim that had been locked in the glacier into his own body.
