Chapter 109 Proof (2)
Ludovic could not believe the sight before his eyes.
So, Frontier and Lili are on the same team? I can understand up to that point. No, rather, Ludovic was considering that possibility.
Unlike the others, Ludovic was suspicious of Lily from the beginning, and in Frondier’s case, he was skeptical. The story that Frontier is the devil is exaggerated, even from his perspective.
But now what?
Lili is kneeling in front of Frondier.
Zodiac Leah Lisga.
“I would be happy. Ludovic.”
Then Frontier spoke.
“It went just as you thought, right?”
“What a ridiculous thing… … !”
Shameless Frontier attitude. Ludovic’s sword naturally wrapped around the aura and bloomed fiercely.
“Frondier! You don’t know what the situation is right now! “You missed your last chance to avoid suspicion!”
There is no turning back now.
Frondier directly ordered Lili to kneel before him.
Now Lili’s relationship with Frondier has become clear, and the situation is worse than originally expected.
These two, who thought that Lili would give orders or had an equal relationship, were actually in a relationship where Frondier would give orders.
Since Lili is a devil, it is certain that Frondier is a devil, and the real mastermind was also Frondier.
“You have now declared that you will become an enemy of the empire! Frontier!!”
Ludovic’s voice filled with aura resonates loudly beyond the mansion.

Most people froze and sat down at the words of Zodiac Ludovic, but Frondier simply furrowed his eyebrows for a moment, as if he was a bit noisy.
‘An enemy of the empire.’
Frontier mocked himself.
I still don’t know exactly who the real culprit is, but I at least know that it is related to the imperial palace.
They probably got the information that Lili was a demon a long time ago. They must have been aiming for this situation from the beginning.
Not long ago, Frontier fought for the Empire. With Ludovic and Lili in front of me right now. All the powerful men gathered together and fought a fierce battle to protect the empire.
Frondier was in charge of most of the operations at the Imperial Conference, and he himself became a spear and charged into the enemy’s stronghold.
So he became a hero. I thought it was too much. There was no one that was not needed for victory.
For all of that, we deployed personnel, planned a strategy, and went through all sorts of struggles to defeat Belphegor.
Was it all just to see this?
“okay.”
Frontier speaks with a self-deprecating face.
“Suppose I become an enemy of the empire.”
His eyes are the exact opposite of Ludovic’s; they are silent, without any energy, let alone life.
“What do you plan to do with the Empire?”
“what are you talking about.”
“Are you my enemy?”
“… … !”
Ludovic was shocked to hear Frondier’s words, then gritted his teeth and looked at Frondier.
How arrogant these words are.
He said he had become an enemy of the empire, and then asked about the empire’s treatment.
The arrogance that he can make the empire his enemy as he pleases, but the empire will not do so easily.
“There is no need for the empire to move.”
Ludovic reads the meaning and takes his stance.
“You will die here. “With Riri.”
“this. Does Zodiac carelessly kill strict people? “It would be right for the imperial palace to punish him with proper law.”
“You devil!”
fault!
Ludovic leapt forward. The other zodiacs followed suit.
Frondier, who defeated Belphegor. I can’t guess their skills yet, but these are Zodiacs. The Empire’s decisive battle weapons. Moreover, isn’t Frontier a child who is not even an adult yet?
“therefore,”
However, Frondier lazily recites as he faces the brutal killing.
─It would be better for you to follow the law.
Coo!
“Huh… … !”
The moment Ludovic met Frondier’s eyes, he was overcome with indescribable fear.
Demon power. It is the power of Frontier that most demons cannot withstand and even let go of their lives.
“nice… … Ugh!”
But indeed, Zodiac. Ludovic only stopped for a moment and rushed at Frontier again. The other Zodiacs followed suit, albeit a little later.
Shhh!
However, there was no way Frontier could pass through that momentary gap. His black sky stretches out and rushes towards the Zodiac.
Kang! Cough! Kaga river!!
The Zodiacs lose the momentum of their attack due to the power of the devil. They had to stand still and endure the attack of the Black Heaven. Their auras are strong, but the Black Sky, a fragment of Helheim, is easy to pierce the auras.
“Lily.”
While they were responding to the black sky, Frondier spoke to Lili.
“I set up a portal outside. “Go there.”
“Uh, what are you going to do?”
Lili looked at Frondier with a worried face.
To be honest, I don’t think Frontier will win this fight.
Of course, the enemies were the Zodiac, but the power of the Frontier that Lili felt had already surpassed the Zodiac’s level. Of course, there is room for variables, but it is not to the extent that Frontier should suffer.
This is what Lily is worried about.
Frontier’s situation was at a precipice. He deliberately showed up to protect Lili, appealing to Lili’s obedience. Whatever the truth, Frontier is already evil from the Empire’s perspective.
“Don’t worry, just go.”
Frontier’s tone remains the same. No anger, no contempt. However, it is also true that that calmness is strangely creepy.
‘… … no way.’
Something flashes through Lily’s mind.
‘Are you planning on killing them all?’
Kill all witnesses here and now. Including Ludovic.
It is a very cruel and violent plan, but it can buy some time. Since the Zodiac is moving according to the imperial order, something must have already happened in the imperial palace.
If you can use Philly, it might be possible to get past Yuya.
“… … okay.”
Lily nodded and walked away. It was very easy to get out of her room, which was already empty. Lily flew through the air and left.
“Kuuuapp!
Quack! Quad deuk!
Ludovic, perhaps unable to bear the sight of Lili leaving, unleashed his auror even more. Black Heaven cannot overcome its momentum and is broken and pushed back.
“Menosorpo.”
As if waiting for that moment, Frondier’s mouth opened.
menosorpho
Weaving in the air, simultaneous replication
imperial palace armory
full open
Paaat!
The colorful weapons engraved in the air go beyond Lily’s room and decorate the outside of the landscape.
Among them, a spear was dragged into Frondier’s hand,
Quang!
Frontier’s spear and Ludovic’s sword clashed.
The moment they collide, all the Zodiacs rush in, and as if responding, Frontier’s weapons slash towards them.
Go go go!!
The sounds of metal noisily swirling around the room. The few walls and ceilings that remain crumble every time the metal collides with them.
In the midst of it all, Ludovic and Frondier engage in a bloody fight.
Ludovic’s sword grazed Frondier’s temple, and the tip of Frondier’s spear penetrated between them. Ludovic’s feet are pulled back and his body rotates. At the same time as dodging, it digs into the frontier’s shoulder.
Sigh!
He grabs Frondier by the collar and pushes him, and the floor creaks as Frondier steps back. The moment Ludovic tries to pull it away, Frondier’s mid-air weave targets Ludovic’s wrist.
“Sigh!”
Ludovic released his grip on the collar without any regrets, and the distance between them widened to the size of a fist.
Kang! Wow!
Frondier takes out a short sword straight from his chest. Blades raining down on each other through that small gap. Ludovic’s blade grazed, blood flowing down Frondier’s cheek, and Ludovic’s shoulder felt hot from Frondier’s stabbing sword.
Ludovic is ahead in close combat, but Frondier makes up for his lack of technique with weaving.
“this guy!”
Meanwhile, another Zodiac broke through the bundle of weapons. A blow that lands on Frondier’s head.
At that time, Ludovic felt something in a split second.
‘no! Die!’
Ludovic felt it as he faced Frontier.
I don’t know the exact principle, but Frontier can see nearly 360 degrees. This is why you can fire your weapon at Zodiac while fighting him.
The man striking the blow now aimed at Frondier’s back, so his movements became larger.
Just as it was aimed at Ludovic’s wrist, if a blade suddenly comes out of nowhere and rushes into his heart, there is absolutely no way to avoid it.
The body of the Zodiac, clad in aura, cannot be penetrated by most weapons, but if it is Frondier, it may be—
“danger… … !”
Wow!
But.
Frondier created something like a shield instead of a blade and blocked Zodiac’s blow.
Weaving, Heukcheon
Grade – Unique
Vinkis’ Golem
Arbitrary naming, ‘prototype’
Afterwards, Frontier created many golems around him.
Vinkis finally completed the golem. The golem that was imitating Ajie now sheds its mold and operates with Vinkis’ unique fighting technique philosophy.
That’s why I abandoned the name Ajie, but I haven’t come up with a name yet.
“Ugh! “What are these?”
Zodiac shouts in confusion. The golems created by Frontier are not something to look down upon.
Of course, if you take the time, Zodiac will kill you, but approaching Frondier will be difficult for the time being.
But in the meantime, Ludovic had other thoughts.
‘why?’
Just now, Frontier had a clear chance to kill Zodiac.
By nature, humans are most vulnerable when they think they have a chance.
The man aiming at Frondier’s back had his arms open, and Frondier had time to fire his weapon and kill him.
If Frontier didn’t see the back, there’s no explanation for how he blocked it cleanly with his shield.
‘A simple mistake? ‘Frondier?’
If you think about it, why should Frontier fight so dangerously in the first place? The walls and ceiling of this room have already been opened. At this time, with Lili gone, it would be beneficial for Frondier to fight from a distance.
“Frondier! “What on earth are you thinking!”
Hiss!
As if to cut off his words, Frondier’s short sword is pointed towards Ludovic’s face.
Frondier said to Ludovic, who lowered his stance to avoid it.
“Don’t think about useless things.”
“… … !”
“Loyalty to the Empire. “Isn’t that your credo?”
“… … Damn it!”
Ludovic unleashes the Aurors again and confronts Frondier.
If I die here, it’s Frontier’s idea and it means nothing.
We must defeat Frondier and find out its intentions. For the Empire.
That is the role of the Zodiac.
This is Ludovic’s firm belief.

As is usually the case with the king’s residence.
There is a secret passage in the imperial palace that only the imperial family knows.
Among these, Robert, Philly’s direct report, knows some things and some he does not.
“… … Wouldn’t it be better to get out of the imperial palace?”
Inside that secret passage, a small space that cannot be observed from anywhere in the imperial palace.
Fili and Pascal were hiding inside.
“Once you leave the imperial palace, you will no longer be able to make excuses for your situation.”
Fili said.
If it’s inside the imperial palace, even if someone detects it, Fili can stop it. It is part of the imperial palace that is targeting Frontier now. If the whole thing is distorted, Fili will probably notice it first.
However, if they go out of the imperial palace, what they will face later is an obvious enemy. They won’t even listen to Philly’s words and will try to exclude Pascal on their own. Fili’s life is not in danger, but Pascal’s is completely the opposite.
“Wouldn’t it be okay if I took a hostage?”
“What’s the use of taking hostages when the whole world knows you don’t have the guts to kill me?”
“… … “It hurts a little, that’s it.”
“It’s a compliment.”
In fact, it is not a question of guts, but that the enemy already knows their situation.
Ugh-
Fili checked the phone screen.
I received a text message from Frontier a little while ago.
─Zodiac Leah Reese is suspected of being the devil. I’m going to save you.
Just by looking at that text, my face had already hardened, but then the next text arrived.
─I will prepare for checkmate.
