Chapter 132 Golden Apple (7)
Aster looked at the spear and shield alternately.
I don’t know if I threw it away or forgot.
I wonder if it is possible to forget such large weapons, but the opponent is Renzo.
“… “I have to give it back.”
Aster doesn’t know where Renzo is headed.
But he fought to stop me from going to Front Deer a while ago.
“… Let’s go. To the western continent.”
Aster decided to head to Agoris.
I suppressed my shaking legs and took a deep breath.
The words of Dier, who did the same thing as him, came to mind.
─If there is something else that can only be noticed here, it is not a good choice for us to go to Agoris.
‘Dier, that guy is really not an ordinary person. ‘Frondier will like it.’
Dier noticed. Marco is secretly hoping that Aster will head to Agoris.
Because Dier said that the war takes place in Agoris, he guessed that there was something that could only be seen on the continent of Palind.
That something is this, a war that occurs when people with divine powers are possessed.
Thanks to Dier’s notice, Aster was able to stay in the empire, Zodiac Ludovic was defeated, and Renzo’s power was cut in half.
“That’s right, Ludovic.”
Aster remembered and turned his head.
Ludovic was struck by Renzo and sent flying into a rock. She’s not really dead, right?
Ludovic fell down in the direction where Aster walked.
She was nervous for a moment, but when she looked closer, she continued to breathe slowly.
‘It looks like the bleeding has stopped, did you faint?’
Of course, Zodiac. Doesn’t that mean you won’t die?
Moreover, there are signs of healing. It’s probably the work of the god Apollo.
“I really don’t understand God.”
Do you like humans or hate them?
Do you want to be hated or loved?
‘I was possessed, but I wondered why I fainted, but it turns out that I didn’t faint, but I was released from possession.’
When Apollo possessed Ludovic, Ludovic’s consciousness probably fell asleep.
So when Apollo leaves her body, Ludovic remains asleep.
‘The gods also use the human body anyway, so I don’t want to possess them beyond the limits of the body.’
He knew it was good anyway.
There is no intention to turn your body into rags just because you are possessed.
I don’t know if this is what all the gods think, or if it’s just Apollo.
“We can’t stop all the possessed Zodiacs. “Most of them have probably already headed west.”
Considering that, it is right for Aster to head to Agoris as well.
It would be better to leave the situation of the empire to others. Zodiac is not the only one with divine powers, so the Empire must be in quite a bit of disarray by now.
The damage to my body remains, but I can now move.
Aster suddenly looked down at Excalibur.
The reason he can move again so quickly is largely thanks to Excalibur.
Nimueh, the lake nymph, had spoken.
─Excalibur makes the user’s mana close to infinite, but it does not replenish physical strength or mental strength. It’s easy to mistake yourself for thinking you’re in peak condition thanks to your mana that never dries up, but your body has already been through enough abuse. If you let go of Excalibur now, your exhausted body will suddenly recoil.
Aster has good self-healing abilities thanks to his natural talent, but in addition, he is charged with mana from Excalibur, which increases his condition.
However, it is up to him to recover from the damage. He must be careful not to be mistaken.
“Okay, I’ll be careful. “Don’t overdo it.”
Aster spoke to Excalibur, which had no way of answering.
“Let’s go.”
Aster threw himself lightly.
On his way, he did not forget to take his spear and shield.

Frontier gave instructions to everyone through Gregory.
Wear a mask from now on.
This time, the instructions did not discriminate between men and women.
‘Charon already knows that the plan to kill us failed. ‘You never know what she might do, so it doesn’t hurt to be careful.’
Ok.
Frontier arrived near the hospital. She didn’t like any fuss, so she landed in a deserted place.
She already knows that Carla is not here, but she must check on the status of the remaining Pielot and Basileo.
Gregory saw nothing wrong, but he saw it with the eyes of a crow, so he couldn’t check mana or various conditions.
[I heard that voting will be held in the capital soon.]
Gregory said while walking towards the hospital.
“A vote to determine who is the most beautiful?”
[Oh, I know very well.]
The crow nods his head. At that, Frondier’s face became confused.
It’s definitely similar to the golden apple story that Frontier knows.
‘Now we can no longer pass it off as a mere coincidence. ‘Is this one of the scenarios that appear in the game?’
Frontier was unable to clear the game ‘Etius’ to the end.
In other words, it is highly likely that the game’s story existed even after the war with Mangot.
If this golden apple is also a story originally arranged in the game, the production company may have borrowed part of Greek mythology.
‘If this scenario is truly based on golden apples, then that vote will signal the start of war.’
It would have been better if it had not been decided, but because it was decided, the golden apple became the starting point of war.
Since it is the beginning of a huge story called the Trojan War, it would not be strange to use it as a scenario.
While I was walking and thinking, I arrived in front of the hospital.
Since Fron Deer already knew the location, he went straight to Pie Lot.
Pielot was lying quietly on the bed in the hospital room.
He looked at Frondier and stood up.
“Senior!”
“Pielot!”
Frondier walked quickly and looked at Pielot.
Head, eyes, cheeks, ears, neck, shoulders, arms, legs, etc. He checked everything he could.
“It’s okay. “Except for being hit by an arrow, there are no major injuries.”
“That arrow was the problem. “Hasn’t he been poisoned?”
“I experienced something similar, but I’m okay now.”
What is something similar?
While Fron Deer was wondering, Pielot raised his head as if he had just remembered something.
“That’s right! “Because of that, I had something to say to my senior!”
“What?”
“I had a dream after I got hit by that arrow, and it was…”
Pielot frowned before saying that.
“… Oh, I don’t remember…”
Pielot tilts his head. Frontier tilts his head accordingly.
“Because it was a dream, didn’t you forget about it as time passed?”
“No, that wasn’t an ordinary dream. That arrow contained the mana of the demon world, so I think it was the effect of absorbing it…”
Frondier’s expression hardened.
Mana of the Demon World.
Considering that the Black Heaven that Frontiere currently possesses was originally Helheim’s mana, I am worried about the physical condition of Pielot who took it into his body.
“Are you really okay?”
“My body is in good shape. Of course, at the time, I really thought I was going to die like this.”
Even as she told her joke, Pielot turned her head to and fro, as if trying to recall her dream.
“… What? It’s strange…”
Pielot finds it difficult to understand that he has forgotten the contents of his dream.
Frondeer’s eyes lowered, and she saw the raven motionless beside her.
‘Is this Athena’s work?’
The meaning conveyed by the eyes was clear, and the crow nodded in agreement.
First, Frondier’s expression softened.
“Maybe there is an effect from the fight. “You’ll remember it when you rest.”
“Uhm, is that right?”
“Now that I think about it, what about Basileo? “I heard he was in this hospital with me.”
“I’ve heard that too, but I’ve never met him yet. “Even if I tried to walk just a little bit, the nurses passing by got very angry and said I was absolutely stable.”
It will be so. Pielot is a wounded man whose body was pierced by arrows. If you try to walk around now, you’ll look at me like you’re crazy.
“Okay. I’ll take a look. “I’m resting.”
Frondier lightly tapped Pielot on the shoulder and then stood up.
I was concerned that Athena had erased Pielot’s memories, but other than that, there seemed to be no problem. That was enough. Frontier was relieved.
“Senior.”
Pielot asked behind Frontier, who was about to leave.
“Did I help you?”
At that question, Frondier stopped his steps and looked at Pielot.
He looked like he was saying something.
Pielot averted his gaze with a humble expression.
“Or was that, after all, a nuisance? I passed out in that place, so they moved me here…”
Pielot muttered with an expression as if he was about to reflect.
Frondier looked at him for a moment without saying anything.
Are you kidding me? Can I accept it?
It’s a joke that’s too difficult to accept…
“I’ll do it better next time.”
Chin.
Fron Deer approached Pielot again, who seemed to be making a promise, and she placed her hand on his shoulder.
“You did a good job. It’s thanks to you that everyone is safe now. Thanks.”
“… Yes.”
Pielot answered blankly.
Probably the first compliment Frontier gives him. And thanks.
Frondier spoke again.
“Please don’t hurt me. “That’s all I want from you.”
“… All right.”
Pielot nodded his head.
After confirming that, Frondier finally went out of the hospital room.
Pielot is left alone again.
He clenched his fists and nodded his head.
‘The next task is to defeat the enemy without a single wound! ‘After all, you are a senior!’
He was burning a new will.
* * *
Frondier wandered around looking for Basileo.
But wherever he went, whether in the break room, bathroom, or hallway, he couldn’t see Basil Leo.
There are so many people that it is difficult to specify mana.
‘I’m worried.’
Basileo felt very responsible for this situation.
From Noble mtl dot com
The enemy’s sudden surprise attack was too much of a burden for Basileo, who was not yet prepared.
Frontier did not want to face this situation. It is natural that Basileo could not cope.
‘I thought that once I confirmed that Pielot was okay, Basileo would be okay, but that doesn’t happen that way.’
It would be nice if he could let go of his guilt about Pielot.
[Frondier, I looked around and it wasn’t there.]
A crow flew over and said to Frondier.
[It looks like the location has moved. I don’t know where it went.]
“No. “He’s probably in this hospital.”
[I said I looked around everything.]
“But you’re a crow.”
[What?]
Gregory’s voice rose. Fron Deer shook his head.
“No, you can only see it through the eyes of a crow. Basileo, he’s probably hiding using some sort of concealment spell.”
When he feels too much of his own responsibility.
Everyone wants to hide.
If Fron Deer knew how to do such magic, he would have done it dozens of times already.
[What, that’s what it was about. Speak straight. Because it’s a crow, it sounds like you’re stupid.]
“But you’re a crow.”
[What?]
Frondier climbed the stairs, bickering lightly with Gregory.
There was a place people usually went at times like this, and it was the rooftop.
Squeak.
Open the rooftop door and walk while looking at the outside scenery.
But as Gregory said, there was no one.
It is invisible to the eye.
‘… It’s amazing, but I can’t even feel it with my sixth sense.’
But it just doesn’t feel right.
I feel someone’s presence in the center of the rooftop where I can’t see anything.
Frontier stopped in front of him.
After a moment, Frondier spoke.
“Can I interrupt you?”
“… Teacher.”
A voice is heard in the air.
Basileo’s voice.
“Sorry.”
“… There’s no need to worry about Pielot. The injury is no problem, and I think I will make a full recovery. So you don’t have to feel responsible. No one could handle it. “It was the same for you and me.”
Frondier spoke with sincerity.
It’s not Basileo’s fault. So that that obvious fact is fully conveyed.
But Basil Leo was silent for a moment, and then he spoke.
“… “That’s not it.”
“Huh?”
While Frontier was asking, the concealment magic disappeared.
And then there was Basileo in front of me.
“I’m really busy right now.”
“… !”
The enormous flow of mana felt as soon as the concealment magic disappeared, and the magic accumulated around Basileo.
Each of those techniques goes in dozens of different directions, waiting for their moment to manifest.
‘Reservation… !’
Frondier held his breath and looked at the sight.
It is a scene whose identity is unknown to Frontier’s eyes. It is unclear what Basil Leo is planning to do or what he is preparing for.
But I knew one thing for sure.
Basil Leo was not avoiding his own responsibilities.
Quite the contrary.
“… I’ll be there when you need me. “For sure this time.”
Frosty eyes. Deep, calm breathing.
Frondier got a little creepy and smiled.
“… “I’ll go first and wait.”
“Yes.”
After that answer, Basileo is hidden in the air again. All signs of mana disappear.
‘He’s a teacher.’
The title I heard after coming from Agoris is teacher.
Remembering the image of Basil Leo just now, Fron Deer shook his head.
