Academy’s Weapon Replicator chapter 277

Chapter 84 Signals (5)

The power of ‘sloth’ was powerful.

Belphegor saw at a glance that Frondier was not real. Naturally, the power of sloth he exerted was directly affected by Frondier.

Most of the mental attacks against him so far have avoided him, but this time is different. A considerable amount of sloth was weighing on Frontier.

However.

‘… … yet.’

Even as his body is consumed by sloth, Frontier waits for some time.

If Belphegor’s laziness had been something he had never experienced before, he would not have been able to endure it.

However, Frondier remembers the laziness that permeated his body when he was possessed. Belphegor’s curse clearly had an effect on the current Frondier as well.

However, because he knew clearly what the end of this world would be, he was too lazy to live like the original Frondier.

That’s why I searched for all kinds of ways to become stronger, rolled over while being beaten, came back from the brink of death, and walked on my own feet.

‘After going through all that experience, I put in an ugly struggle to change the future of destruction.’

Frondier already knows too well the cost of sloth to collapse into laziness.

Frontier calmly analyzed the situation.

After Belphegor used the power of deadly sin, no special attacks were made against him. Even though there is enough room for that.

I don’t know exactly why, but it was a good thing for Frontier. It’s probably a limitation or condition unique to the Seven Deadly Sins. Belphegor attempts to defeat Frondier using only the power of sloth.

‘It seems like I’m seeing it as a struggle to create weapons, and I have no intention of making the first move myself.’

This is what I found out for sure.

Belphegor is just waiting for time to pass. The advent of God and the destruction of the barrier are all that are needed to ensure Mangot’s victory.

So you wouldn’t even dream of it.

Frontier is also taking its time.

The best way to shake off this sloth now is to fight Belphegor with all your might.

Regardless of whether the effect is large or small, continued erosion is not good.

However, Belphegor guesses that Frondier has been robbed of its strength and is putting up a strong resistance.

While dealing with Frontier’s ‘Imperial Armory’. He can’t fathom how much willpower it takes to fight with full openness.

‘It is said that the gods’ contract prohibited the use of ‘weaving’, but Belphegor himself does not really know what this skill is.’

Maybe the same goes for the gods?

Did they ban weaving just because it could mimic their weapons?

Did Thanatos try to kill Frondier simply because it was too expensive?

Suuu-

Phew… … .

Frontier doesn’t know how long this standoff will continue. There are many variables. Either Belphegor himself simply changed his mind, he noticed Frondier’s acting, or some external factor occurred that had nothing to do with either of them.

I don’t know when that will happen, but until then, Frontier will continue this fight.

‘Belphegor, I said I would play with you.’

Thank you, Sloth.

I thought it would be quite difficult to hear that from you.

Just as you are waiting for something, I also have something waiting for you.

Let’s play until then.

* * *

At that time, the battle at the barrier continued.

May used ‘Restoration’ as she circled the barrier clockwise, and before she knew it, she had arrived in the north.

This is the halfway point between Göranhes and Tayvon. In some ways it is the safest, and in other ways it is the place where the fiercest bloody battles take place.

For the monsters outside, it is safe because it is the intersection of the two areas where the furrows are, and on the other hand, it is the place where the most blood is shed because so many monsters pour in like a flood.

Only after May reached this barrier did she unfold the map in her arms.

“… … So, east, west, south, north. This is north. That’s right.”

Using the directions I had recently learned, I counted them one by one and checked again how far I had come.

I followed the route given by Frontier. Probably not wrong.

The strategy he told her about came to mind in May’s mind.

─Clockwise?

─Yeah, I guess I should tell you the clock first. The same goes for direction. Anyway, you can start from the east and go like this.

At that time, Frontier showed a map, started from the eastern wall, put his finger on it, and made a circle around it. Only later did I realize that it meant ‘clockwise’.

─That’s how you get to the north.

─North? Not in the east?

Since we started from the east, wouldn’t we arrive at the east after turning once?

Frondier opened his mouth in surprise at those words and immediately stroked May’s head.

As expected, May is smart. The hand stroking her head while saying that was somehow similar to Elodie’s.

─But this time it’s north. When you get to the north, don’t use restoration first and wait for a while.

Frontier said so.

Mei didn’t know the situation in the empire, so she thought it was okay at the time, but when she thought about it, it was strange.

Why did Frontier send May to the east first? First of all, even with Tavern, which Frontier completed restoration, Göranhes is a place that needs to be repaired more than anywhere else.

Although the name Ampere’s ‘iron wall’ is strong, the wall of Göranhes is not necessarily an iron wall.

Yeranhes is a place where monsters worse than Tayvon pour out. The damage was already piling up, and it became even worse due to the joining of the ‘black monsters’ that invaded last winter.

However, if you start from the east and work clockwise, the northern wall is the last. A difficult-to-understand method that restores the areas that need to be repaired first and last.

Moreover, when they told her to come here and wait for a while, May’s head naturally tilted.

─And one thing that must be observed.

Still unable to understand Frondier’s words, May just tilts her head.

─Move as I am.

Standing in the ‘frontier de roach’ form, you rack your brain hard to understand the meaning of what he said.

… … And that scene.

“found.”

‘Adela’, the shepherd of Mangot, confirmed.

Adella was dispatched under Belphegor’s orders to check the process of restoring the wall.

She finally saw Frondier standing on the wall.

‘It moves in the correct order.’

After confirming that the barrier was restored in a clockwise direction, we ran straight north considering the arrival time.

Whether it was as expected or honestly too unexpected, Adela found Frontier.

‘As expected, Frontier is here.’

Belphegor’s order is to check whether Frondier is truly restoring the barrier.

If she goes back and reports like this, her mission will be completed.

Unlike Malia or Frondier, Adela cannot have eyes to see the entire battlefield situation. She doesn’t know that Frondier is already fighting Belphegor.

But in any case, even if Adella returns like this, she will not offend Belphegor, and Belphegor will give her the reward he promised.

No one would have predicted that Frondier would attack Cape Bay alone.

So, it would have been better if I had turned around and returned to Mangot right now.

‘… … ‘That barrier.’

Adela’s eyes turn to the barrier where monsters are pouring in.

This barrier has not yet been restored. If you think about it, since the restoration began in the east, this northern wall is the biggest weakness of the empire at this point, as damage has been accumulating over a long period of time.

It’s held up well so far, but if this continues, the first thing to break will be this barrier.

However, if Mei uses restoration now, this barrier will be restored, the morale of the imperial troops will boil over, and the morale of the monsters will drop significantly. Monsters are not stupid. Especially when it comes to monsters outside.

“That won’t work.”

The wall has not yet been restored. I don’t know the exact reason, but perhaps Frontier has just arrived. So restoration will begin soon.

Adela took out two daggers from her belt. Place the greatly curved blade upside down, insert the hook at the end of the handle into your finger, and hold it.

Among the shepherds of Mangot, she is the closest to an assassin. She is excellent at stealth, poison, and close combat, and unlike other shepherds who lead troops, her specialty is acting alone.

From what I heard from Hagley, Frondier is quite a strong guy, but in the end he is just Constell’s student. Not Aster or Elodie.

Moreover, most rumors are exaggerated and distorted without any basis. At best, he’s just a guy with a unique talent called ‘restoration’.

‘Your performance ends here!’

Adella approaches the barrier while completely hiding her body, and uses her aura to perform an amazing feat of stepping on the barrier and walking straight up.

Of course, you can cross the barrier by jumping and flying, but if you do that, you will naturally be discovered by the soldiers on the barrier.

She jumped over the barrier with perfect stealth skills, using the same method that Adela herself had become familiar with.

“Who are you?”

I froze for a moment at the innocent expression of Mei in the form of Frontier.

“Uh, well… … !”

Unfortunately.

May also has a ‘sixth sense’.

Hiss!

Although Adela was momentarily confused, she swung the daggers in both hands and aimed at May’s neck. I was surprised to be caught, but it doesn’t matter either way if I’m going to kill them anyway.

May dodged Adela’s attack and observed it for a moment.

For May, who has excellent memory and learning ability even though she was just born, being a ‘person she has never seen’ is a very clear signal to her.

“… … aha.”

May, who was focused on avoiding for a moment, soon opened her mouth as if she understood.

“Are you the reason Frontier asked me to remain as he is?”

“What, what?”

Adella was momentarily dazed by May’s words.

‘Frondier’, ‘Be as you are’, ‘Please stay?’

It was the first time in my life that I did not understand a single word of a sentence.

The thing in front of her is Frondier, and she is referring to Frondier. In other words, this guy is not Frontier right now?

Moreover, since you asked me to remain as myself, does that mean I have turned into Frondier?

“Then where?”

May widened the distance from Adela with light footwork.

The current May has already observed Frondier and Elodie a lot. Although he lacks absolute mana and physical ability, he has no shortcomings in ‘skill’.

“Let’s take a look.”

Adela was nervous as May took a stance as if she was going to try something.

For a few seconds, May just stood there in that position.

“… … “What on earth are you doing?”

Adela, who thought she had been deceived, got angry and tried to attack again.

“… … this… … .”

Adela sees scenes that will haunt her every night she goes to sleep for the rest of her life.

Ssyuk-

The frontier in front of Adella suddenly lost its shape and began to move slowly.

In an instant, he stood there looking exactly like her.

“Hmm, I’m not very good at using weapons like this.”

Then, he picked up the same weapon that Adela herself was holding and twirled it in the air.

… … It’s strange, my weapon is made to order. There can’t be another one that’s the same.

And that aerial stunt, he’s doing it in exactly the same order and with the same habits as I do.

uh… … la… … .

“aha.”

And May blinked a few times.

“Indeed, that’s right. It all makes sense now. After all, it’s Frontier. “I can’t imitate that.”

The fog in my head that had been trying to understand the meaning of Frondier’s words cleared up, and I looked refreshed.

May saw Adella still frozen and unable to move.

“I’m sorry, I don’t know who it is.”

After handing me an apology, I wondered if it was right to apologize.

“I’ll borrow some.”

Adela disappeared before her eyes.

It was a shadow transfer.

“… … ?”

The battle at the barrier continues, and horrendous screams and shouts abound.

Monsters rush in to break down the barrier, and the citizens of the empire try to stop them.

Mangot’s personnel are waiting for a gap in the barrier, or are already rushing over the barrier.

Between the noise and the saturation.

Like a blank space.

Adela just stood far away.

“… … ah,”

Without any attacks, magic, hexes or curses.

“aaa!!!”

I taste fear.
