Chapter 131: The Whale and the Shrimp (4)
─It depends on the situation.
Frondier said to Elodie:
The probability of killing 72 demons is very low.
In fact, the current attack was nothing more than a stunner.
But at the same time, Frontier thought.
‘But it won’t look that way in Elodie’s eyes.’
Andro was just defeated by the power of the devil. It is unknown whether he fainted or died.
Of course, Elodie’s mana detection would have figured it out right away, but at least the momentary surprise was real.
Yes. Elodie was truly shocked. This was right after Frontier reassured Elodie.
So Bael’s eyes can see Elodie’s expression.
Elodie’s expression completely unexpected of Frondier’s actions.
‘This crazy guy… !’
Bael bit his molars.
Looking at Elodie’s expression just now, Frondier’s actions were not coordinated at all. No, it’s probably completely the opposite of what was agreed upon.
An arbitrary action committed in defiance of a prior plan with a colleague who had come here with him.
‘I can’t do this. ‘This guy is out of his mind!’
Frondier’s face is just calm, languid, peaceful, relaxed, and in any case, it is the same face with all the modifiers that fit Frondier.
Bael had given up on reading Frondier’s emotions through his facial expressions in the evening. There is no way to know whether that face is calm or angry. What you need to trust is Frontier’s actions, not his facial expressions.

And Frontier showed it with his actions.
If I say this nonsense one more time, what will be the consequences?
‘My anger toward Pielot is real.’
Frontier has never felt anger that lasts this long.
Perhaps it is because he has not yet been able to do anything about his mastermind, Charon.
Naturally, that anger should be directed at Charon, not Bael, and Frondier himself knows very well.
‘You don’t know. ‘Bael.’
Bael is worried that sparks will fly towards him.
In that case, I will do as you worry.
I’ll even use my anger on you.
“Bael. “Now I have dozens of ways to get you to spit out information, and three ways to get the information out of you whether you spit it out or not.”
Frondier raised a finger. The black sky moved accordingly.
Hwiik.
Heukcheon grabbed Andro, who had fallen, and tied him to the wall.
“I assure you that it would be better for you not to use any of those methods.”
These are the words he spits out while restraining Andro. This clearly meant that one of the methods was related to Andro.
Bael’s pupils shook for a moment at those words. He seemed to be thinking about something and opened his mouth.
“… Frontier.”
“Bael. “One thing before I say it.”
Frontier blocked it once more.
“Be very careful about what you say now. “That one word will determine what choices I make in the future.”
“…”
Those are arrogant words. Even if it is said to have stronger power, it is an extremely arrogant statement to the person who needs to obtain information.
However, Bael knows the situation in Frontier.
Their group was in danger and their student was injured.
Frontier is not talking about calculations. Anger cannot be controlled and speech becomes harsh.
… I’m saying this through calculation so that Bael can think like that.
“I admit everything.”
Bael said, raising both her hands.
As expected from a devil, it was a good answer after Frondier’s warning.
“I made a deal with Charon. I provided information about you. But I didn’t mean to cause you any trouble. “It was enough for us to return to the demon world.”
“Let’s start the story from there.”
Tuk.
Frontier released Andero from the Black Heaven. He fainted and fell back onto the floor.
Based on Bael’s comment just now, Andero could really have died. As if to say that.
Frondier sat Elodie down on a nearby chair, and he himself sat next to him. Elodie’s movements were a little hesitant.
Frondier said.
“Did they get on God’s nerves and include Satan in their scope of attack?”
“Did you notice that? That’s correct. Of course, it was not just Satan, but all of the seven deadly sins.”
“What if God really starts a war?”
Bael sighed at that.
“Whatever, if that happens, it will be the end.”
“Were there any guarantees that that wouldn’t happen?”
“Rather than a guarantee, all demons have a kind of belief.”
Trust?
Frondier listened intently to those interesting words.
Bael said.
“Satan never loses. “It’s that kind of belief.”
“… “Hoo.”
The seven deadly sins, the devil of wrath, Satan.
Frondier recalled the face he first met.
‘No loss. Considering all that, I think I’ve suffered quite a bit of loss?’
Many of his plans would have been ruined by Frontier. Starting with the mana injection incident, fighting among demons failed.
Mei, the scourge of metamorphs that emerged as a result of an experiment in the demon world, is also by Frondier’s side.
Simply because a lot of Satan’s minions died, it can be said that the damage was clear.
‘Or is this not even a loss from Satan’s perspective?’
Bael spoke as if reading Frondier’s thoughts.
“Of course, it is all about faith. Even Satan can’t always only seek profit. However, if the saying ‘he who laughs last is the winner’ is an absolute and immutable truth, then victory always belongs to Satan.”
“Even if there is an immediate loss, it will definitely turn into a gain in the end?”
Bael nodded his head at Fron Deer’s words.
“And Satan doesn’t make mistakes when it comes to important decisions. “There would be no intention of turning it into an all-out war between God and the devil.”
Frondier made a sound like “Huh”.
“That means you planned the strategy and left all the most important decisions to Satan.”
Moreover, Satan is Bael’s enemy.
There is no way Bael can clash with Satan if he returns to the demon world. The anger toward Satan, who left Agoris behind and ran away, must have built up over the years he stayed in Agoris.
Bael said, shaking his head.
“So I didn’t want to do it. “At least for this operation.”
“Do you really want to go back to the demon world? Is this issue so important that you start a war with God? “It seems like something worth living for.”
When Frondeer first set foot on the land of Agoris, the place he went to was the land of demons.
It was as big as Palma, and a civilization of that size already existed. Well, because it was that big, there must have been that many demons.
“You can keep living there. “Looking at it, it didn’t look like Palma would touch it.”
While working as a teacher at Atlas, Frondier roughly confirmed the average human combat power.
From the average Atlas student to the best Paladin in the country. Paladin Antero was a bad warrior that made you sigh, but Bune, the possessed demon, was definitely strong. It would be correct to think that that is a real Paladin.
However, it is too much for a Paladin to deal with demons alone. In other words, from the devil’s point of view, the land of Agoris is a place worth living in, with no particularly threatening humans.
“The reason we created our country was a choice based on circumstances. “It wasn’t something I originally wanted to do.”
“Are you saying that creating a country is the problem?”
“Yes. “Because it’s easy to become a target of God.”
Frondier understood what he said.
On the Palind Continent, demons lived among humans.
So God cannot easily touch the devil.
Humans and demons are indistinguishable from each other. In the meantime, if God touches the devil, faith in God will be damaged.
Above all, the demons hidden in Palind were small in number and power, so they would not have been able to make much of a difference. Is Leah Reese an exception?
But Agoris is different.
A situation where demons are living in a country.
Rather, if God punishes the devil, humans will praise him with open arms.
“So, from our perspective, we eventually had to leave this land. “Before God’s hand touches this place.”
“… “No matter which way you go, if you’re going to end up fighting God, it’s better to have at least one option.”
Even if that means leaving the choice to the fierce enemy called Satan.
After thinking for a moment, Fron Deer said with a still uncomprehending look on his face.
“That’s what I’m most curious about, Bael.”
“What?”
“If there is a war with the gods, how do they plan to fight it?”
It is not easy for demons to appear on this earth, but it is not as difficult as it is for gods.
Demons have a method called contracts with humans, and in the process, there are quite a few demons remaining in Agoris, so there must be many methods.
And at the level of Belphegor, it seems that it is possible to possess a human body.
‘But God is different. The coming of God was not an easy task for humans or for God himself.’
If it were easy, Frontier would have died a long time ago. At the very least, God could have killed Frondier dozens of times before he gained this much power.
Because of this question, Frondier bothered to ask Elodie.
Weaving is a clear insult to God. Elodie declared. There are no exceptions to that.
In other words, it was not a ‘choice’ for God not to kill Frontier. He couldn’t be killed.
However, Bael fears war with God.
How can a god reach the land of Agoris and kill the devil?
“… “You don’t know that?”
But Bael’s reaction was surprising.
As if it were strange that Frontier didn’t know.
Frondier was also surprised by that surprise.
“Why didn’t I tell you that? As far as I know, there’s definitely that guy by your side…”
“Who are you talking about?”
Bael put his hand to his mouth before answering. His eyes moved from left to right repeatedly. As if turning his own thoughts back to the beginning.
Frondier’s brows gathered together at that sight.
“Who on earth didn’t tell me what? Someone by my side will tell me that,”
[How do you fight a war?]
At that moment, a voice came from next to Frontier.
Elodie is still sitting where Elodie was sitting.
Elodie rested his chin and looked at Fron Deer.
[This is how it is done. Baby.]
Talk to Frontier.
[Hello, this is our first meeting.]
Elodie.
Elodie de Inies Richae.
A child of heaven loved by the five gods.
[My name is Vishnu.]
Frontier does not respond to that self-introduction.
It simply interprets the information that suddenly comes into the current situation.
[He is one of the gods who loves Elodie the least.]
“… “You were possessed.”
[Answer. Well, like Elodie, the duration of possession isn’t long. It looks like it will break soon.]
“… Then, war is about using people with divine powers.”
[Using divine power on the devil to activate Pantemonium. It’s the easiest war.]
In response, Frondier’s hand moved.
A gun-shaped hand reached out to Elodie.
Vishnu smiled and waved his hand.
[Ahahahaha. I have no intention of going to war or anything like that. I don’t have the confidence to win a fight with you. The power of your soul is powerful. I only appeared as a provider of information.]
“… “Then why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
Vishnu shrugged his shoulders. Slyly.
Doing this with Elodie’s body gave Frondier an unbearable killing intent.
[I wasn’t the only one who stayed still. Elodie has five gods.]
“… “You say that,”
[And it’s not that I didn’t say anything, I just thought it wouldn’t be my turn.]
“Order?”
Vishnu grinned.
In other words, Elodie’s eyes were bent.
[I mean Athena.]
“… What?”
[You have Medusa by your side. Did you guys call them Carla? Her god, Athena. I thought he would tell me.]
Frondier froze at those words. His hand slowly lowered.
─Charon knows more information than Bael does.
─Someone who knew about Menorospo from the beginning gave information to Charon,
[But I see you didn’t say anything.]
Athena.
Who cursed and condemned Medusa,
Athena, goddess of wisdom.
[I wonder where Carla is right now.]
