Chapter 102 Repeat (4)
The chilling death emanating from Aster’s sword.
Frondier remained still even as he saw it in front of him.
At that moment, all eight needles were attached to both of Selena’s hands.
‘… … no.’
However, Selena could not move.
She witnessed Aster’s ‘glimpse’ with her own eyes.
At this distance, Aster’s speed is faster than shooting a needle at him. Even her maximum injection speed cannot keep up with Aster.
‘If this happens, the shadow transference will be in front of Frontier… … !’
The moment Selena tried to move, she met Frontier’s eyes.
He was speaking clearly with his eyes.
─Don’t come.
‘Ugh… … !’
Of course, Selena already knew that Frontier would say that.
Frontier was not taken on this operation, saying that his escort was dangerous. It would never be permissible to receive a sum of money with one’s body instead.
“Frondier, change your mind. “Using the devil is a dangerous decision.”
Meanwhile, Aster spoke to Frondier.
Aster has already taken a mid-trend stance. And when Selena decides that it is too late, there is no one who can stop her.
“Aster, stop.”
However, even if we cannot prevent him in advance, there is someone who can warn him.
“If you use that, I will never forgive you.”
Elodie speaks to Aster through the eyes of ‘Inies’.
The warning was closer to the truth rather than being sincere.
If someone harms Frontier, Elodie will never forgive. Even if it is Aster, who is called the hope of the empire.
“It will all be over if Frontier gives up his wild ideas.”
Aster said.
Frondier smiled bitterly at that.
“That’s impossible, Aster. My thoughts don’t change. Among humans, there are people who are worse than devils. “You would know, Aster.”
“… … It’s not just me who mindlessly puts the devil in danger. Frontier, demons are more familiar with Aurors than humans. Why do you think that is? “Because they are much more instinctive than humans.”
Demons are closer to ‘demon’ than to humans. Therefore, their innate manifestation of Auror is closer to a racial trait than a talent.
Therefore, they are more instinctive and, to put it simply, live in the wild.
“Devils are a race of people who live as they please. They don’t control their impulses. Are there people worse than the devil? All devils are like that. Both humans and demons can eat evil hearts. However, it is human to moderate and control it and to think about society.”
Aster’s calm words.
This is really difficult because Frontier cannot refute it.
‘Right now, the devils have ‘desire’. Because of that, they are outcasts in human society.’
Frontier predicts that the Demon World will probably be a class society based on the logic of power.
The strong reign above, and the weak obey. Without such thorough discipline, it would be impossible to control the demons’ lustful impulses.
“Aster, I’ve talked a lot with the demons here. These guys are trustworthy. “Just as I tried to save humans, I will also save demons if necessary.”
“… … “I won’t leave it like that.”
The aura that Aster was emitting slowly disappears.
That doesn’t mean Aster is going to stop fighting. Quite the opposite.
All of Aster’s auras are being condensed and completely stored away.
“I have to stop you.”
Frondier looked Aster in the eyes. And I knew what he meant. A lonely smile spread across Frontier’s lips.
“It’s you, Aster.”
That seemed to be a signal.
fault!
Aster’s new model moves at high speed. The sword raised upward runs in a straight line until it reaches Frondier’s eyes.
At once, a trajectory that no one can follow with the eyes, from top to bottom,
Cheok!
It cut off Frondier’s hair and stopped before reaching the forehead.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Frondier did not move until Aster’s flash began and the blade reached before his eyes.
Dier saw it with his own eyes.
‘… … Even the black sky didn’t move.’
Dier was sure.
Frontier had no intention of stopping it at all. Because he knows that there is no way Aster will kill him.
‘Could I do that?’
Dier also believed that Aster would not really attack Frondier.
However, it is not a possibility that is completely non-existent.
No matter how small the probability, people want to avoid risk as much as possible. Even more so if your life is at stake.
‘I probably wouldn’t create this situation if it were me.’
Dier felt it at this moment. The difference between Frontier and his way of thinking.
They were similar in that they were the type to turn their brains around, but fundamentally they were very different.
I was slowly starting to feel what Elodie had meant when she said, ‘This is not the path for people to take.’
Jureuk-
At that time, blood flowed from Frondier’s forehead.
Aster’s sword stopped midway, but was slightly cut due to the influence of the auror.
Aster said.
“… … “I really don’t like you, Frondier.”
“Sorry.”
Aster lifted his sword.
Frondier seems to be reading all of his thoughts, and Aster is unable to change his thoughts even though he knows it.
In the end, Aster cannot stop Frontier. Unless you are really prepared to kill.
Aster bit his lip as he looked at Frondier. That face was miserable.
“Go, Frontier. I can’t stop you, and I can’t help you either. “I promise not to interfere with the demons here.”
“… … “Okay, thank you.”
Frondier turned and walked away.
Now that Aster no longer has to attack these demons, his purpose here has been completed. He had things to do first.
“Now, wait! Frontier!”
Cybel shouted at his hesitant steps.
However, Frondier created a portal and crossed over without any time to stop it.
It was surprising that Frondier could use a portal, but others could not hide their despair at the sight of Frondier suddenly disappearing.
“… … why.”
The voice heard at that time was Aten.
Aten spoke while looking at Aster.
“Why did you do that?”
“… … Because I couldn’t forgive myself for taking the devil’s side.”
Aster used the honorific title for Aten.
Because Aten’s current appearance was that of a ‘princess’.
“lie.”
Aten’s innocent gaze passes through Aster.
“There’s no way you could move on such blind faith alone. “And against Mr. Frontier.”
It is natural that Aster hates devils. All of these are like that.
However, the trust in Frontier is stronger than that of anyone else.
They all grew up after experiencing war. And I know very well what Frontier did in that war.
“Do you have an idea?”
“… … “I have concerns, not thoughts.”
Aster said in a sighing voice.
“I trust that guy. I assumed that no matter what he did, he had deep thoughts. “That guy is the guy who followed Baldur’s words and waited until I was wary of him to help me grow.”
“… … “If so, why now?”
I know well how much Aster trusts Frontier. Therefore, it is difficult to understand the situation just now.
Aster said to him:
“She said she would protect the devil. “Whether he means it or not, we can’t help Frontier say that.”
“… … “No one in the empire will understand.”
“We are the only ones who can understand him now. however.”
Suddenly, Aster chewed his molars and his face turned grim.
It was an expression rarely seen on him.
“Because I know that, I say things like that on purpose. If that guy wanted to make me understand, he wouldn’t have said things like ‘devils and humans are the same.’ But by saying that, he tried to make himself look like a dangerous person.”
“… … .”
“The conversation just now, he was kind of rejecting it. “I have prepared all the reasons and motivations in advance to tell you not to follow me from here on out.”
So Aster got angry.
The reason Frontier rejects them is obvious.
Because it’s dangerous out here.
In the end, Frontier hasn’t changed at all. During the war with Mangot, he tried to pierce Mangot’s heart single-handedly.
“… … And one more thing.”
At that time, a voice muttered softly.
It was Runia.
“That guy might be possessed.”
“… … what?”
Elodie, who was next to me, asked back.
Runia said, tilting her head.
“No, no matter what, you can’t say you’re on the devil’s side so easily. “Isn’t he possessed without realizing it?”
“It didn’t look that way. “It looked the same as usual.”
“Of course, I’m not completely out of my mind. But we, the, you know? “The old Frontier, the time when we were ridiculed as ‘human sloths.’”
“… … ah.”
Hearing those words, Elodie understood Runia’s meaning.
Runia continued speaking.
“The rumor is that it was actually because I was cursed by the devil? But out of all the people in Constel, no one noticed. Students in the same class, teachers, and even the president. I just thought he was a serious lazy person. “Isn’t being possessed by the devil actually something similar?”
“In other words, even people who are possessed by the devil cannot tell it from the outside… … ?”
Runia nodded at Elodie’s words.
“He survived the curse, so even if he was truly possessed, I don’t think it would have much of an effect. I agree with Aster. Frontier didn’t want to drag us into something dangerous, so he said that on purpose. But if the root of such behavior is the influence of the devil, can even the wisest of men leave it alone? “If a smart guy like that is possessed, it’s even more dangerous.”
“… … .”
From Noble mtl dot com
“Well, actually, it might just be fine. “What I said was just a possibility.”
That couldn’t be possible, Elodie wanted to say.
After hearing Runia’s words, something came to mind for Elodie.
─If, by any chance, I make a wrong choice. stop me
The words that Frontier asked Elodie.
A word that made Elodie realize that she would never be able to do it after hearing it.
Did Frontier know that this day would come someday?
“… … I am.”
Elodie, who was biting her lip and thinking deeply, slowly opened her lips.

Time goes by.
Frondier was at Lili’s mansion.
He was standing still in Lili’s office, looking face to face with Lili.
“then.”
Lili gathered up several completed documents, tapped them on the floor, organized them, and spoke.
“Congratulations, Frontier! “The contract is complete!”
“thank you.”
Frontier bows his head.
I made a promise to Lili: I would be his knight for a month.
The promised month has finally come to an end.
“It’s a shame, Frontier. “I wanted to work together more.”
“I see. “You must have been disappointed.”
“In times like that, you say, ‘I’m sad too!’ Even if it’s just empty words!”
“But even if you know that Lili’s words are empty, you will still try to catch the pod and hold on to it even more.”
“That’s right.”
… … Is that the answer?
While Frondier was bewildered, Lili spoke.
“Then there will be no risk of war for the time being? Well done, Frontier. “I will write a nice report on this matter and submit it to the imperial palace.”
“Regarding the magic circle, please clearly describe your achievements to Elysia.”
“I understand. “He’s a guy who can’t handle anything when it comes to women.”
“… … “It’s not like that.”
“I know! “You’re not interested in me, you!”
Lia Reese gets angry at a completely unexpected moment.
Frondier, who had a subtle expression on his face after hearing those words, spoke as if something suddenly occurred to him.
“I have something to say to Lili for a moment about that matter.”
“What?”
It seemed like something suddenly occurred to me.
Frondier takes a deep breath and tells Leah Reiss.
“Liri was a subordinate of Satan.”
“… … what?”
“Do you remember?”
Lili looks blankly at Frondier.
As she herself knows, Frondier’s eyes are simply black.
