Chapter 135: A slip of the tongue (2)
Light pouring throughout the square.
However, what is felt strongly by those who are here now is not light.
‘Divine power… No, it’s the power of the devil!’
If you know, do as you know, if you don’t know, do as you don’t know.
Frontier’s demonic power pours down on everyone in the square without distinction.
‘Ugh… !’
Aphrodite froze at the sudden appearance of the powers of light and darkness.
Although the devil’s power was not that strong, the light in the square was so strong that the surroundings were barely visible.
‘I see… ! That’s why the light poured out.’
The power of the devil is to reveal the soul.
It’s powerful, but it’s like being defenseless with all your armor thrown away.
If the opponent uses the same power, the pantemonium will inevitably open, and the body will freeze during this time, so it becomes extremely dangerous if the enemy has an ally.
So Frontier poured out light.
So that you can’t aim at him.
‘Are you saying that this amount of light was just used as a blindfold?’
As Aphrodite, she can’t see her surroundings, so most people won’t be able to know what’s going on around her.
The power of the devil pours out in a space where nothing can be seen.
‘Besides, there’s something strange about this power.’
The power of the devil generally has certain characteristics.
If it’s the Seven Sins, you can impose that sin on the other person, and even if it’s a little less than that, in most cases, it shakes the other person. Controlling the other person’s mind with fear, fascination, confusion, etc.
However, from Aphrodite’s perspective, this power has no such effect. It is not a force meant to shake someone mentally.
I don’t know the exact identity of the entity that poured out this power because it is controlling the power.
This isn’t a force that threatens anyone, it’s just there…
Kwaaa…
The light gradually fades away. The power of the devil ended a little earlier than that.
Aphrodite’s guess was correct. Frontier could not yet be dragged into the Pantemonium.
He was not afraid of losing to his opponent, nor was he worried about his stiffened body.
Because he still had work to do here.
“… Her… !”
When the light subsides and the demonic power ends.
Athena looked around and sighed.
With that, Aphrodite’s face distorted.
“Dare… !”
Numerous people are lying dead in the square.
Almost everyone packed the square to vote.
Voting has now become impossible, but that is not the problem.
Even the demons that tried to run away fainted.
‘This is the only way to find the devil.’
Both demons and humans are fainting together.
From God’s perspective, it is impossible for him to harm anyone in this situation. Weeding out demons is impossible.
‘A breathtaking level of power control that is enough not to kill a human, but enough to make even most demons faint…’
But it’s so close that God wouldn’t do something like this. If we are not careful, humans may die. Otherwise, serious aftereffects may remain.
‘Is it really the devil?’
Aphrodite concluded.
A decision made with great disregard for human life. It’s like the devil’s idea.
There are only a very small number of people standing here now.
High-ranking gods, some of the 72 demons that survived, and paladins. For reference, Paladin Antero fainted immediately, so he was replaced with Bune.
Also, Frondier’s companions who did not target the devil’s power from the beginning are fine.
And,
“What is this…”
Just one person who doesn’t belong anywhere.
Ajax did not faint.
Although he withstood the demon’s strength, his legs gave out and he fell.
In other words, he was pretending to faint, lying among the fainted people around him.
‘Is Mom okay?’
Ajax came with his mother Eriboea to vote.
He crept over to check Eriboea’s condition.
Even though she fell, she didn’t seem to have any problems. Her breathing is steady and her expression is relaxed. He looks like he’s sleeping.
‘It was a momentary moment so I couldn’t see it clearly, but I thought it was a teacher…’
It’s such a short moment that I can’t be sure.
Moreover, it even had something like devil’s wings.
But his face clearly resembled Fron Deer’s.
‘So the teacher did this?’
Ajax lay down and looked around.
And he realized one thing.
‘… There are more people like me!’
This is one thing that Aphrodite was mistaken about.
The demonic power exerted by Frondier is much weaker than Aphrodite thought.
Aphrodite does not know how much demonic power must be applied to make a human or demon faint. There are very few beings who know that. Testing such things one by one to check them would be something a crazy person would do.
That’s why the crazy guy knows.
With this level of power, even humans would faint, but not even demons would faint. I’m sure some will survive.
Frondeer chose human safety over stunning all demons.
But even if he didn’t faint, Frondier gave the demons time.
Time to choose while his wisp dazzles the surroundings.
As a result, even demons that have not fainted are pretending to have fainted, hiding among the fallen like Ajax.
Of course, there are demons who can’t even think of that and are still standing, but I have no intention of belittling those demons.
I guess they are all standing because they have thoughts. That’s about the extent of Frontier’s impressions.
[I don’t know which devil it is, but he’s doing something arrogant.]
Aphrodite turned her murderous gaze towards Fron Deer.
But Frondier wasn’t looking at her.
“Indeed.”
His eyes looked around.
Some of the squares are still standing and have not collapsed.
From Noble mtl dot com
“Congratulations on passing the test.”
Frondier looked around at them and grinned.
The fact that you overcame his strength is already proof.
“You insolent bastard!”
Some humans exhibit divine powers. No, the gods possessing humans are unleashing their power.
“If you use the devil’s power again, I will personally kill you!”
“No, it’s me!”
Now that they have discovered that he is God, they have nothing to hide. Fortunately, all the humans are unconscious.
Even though we have to hide the demons, we can also deal with them properly.
“Oh, really?”
Frondeer smiled at them.
The weapons each of them held, a purple haze. From this alone, we don’t know which god it is, but considering that he is a high-ranking god in Greek mythology, it can be narrowed down to some extent.
“Who wants to try first?”
When Frontier was slowly regaining his strength.
“Oh, no!”
A voice suddenly shouts.
Frondier tilted his leisurely gaze to the side.
Athena is there.
“Oh, stop. Everyone… !”
Athena raises her voice with a cold face.
Her other gods looked at her in wonder.
“Athena, what’s going on? “What kind of guy is this?”
“Well, just listen to me! “Don’t mess with this guy!”
Athena did not have time to elaborate.
After saying all that, the moment Frontier uses the devil’s power, it’s over.
The gods are already opening up their divine power. It is up to Frontiere to decide whether to open the Pantemonium or not.
“Oh my, what’s wrong? Athena.”
Frontier’s mouth opens white.
“As if my soul was stronger than the gods.”
“Please! Don’t provoke me like that… !”
Yes.
These are all gods of Olympus.
And high-ranking gods.
He is inseparable from Athena and they are all friends and family.
“Athena! I can’t be patient! “Get rid of that crazy devil right away.”
Cooung—!
The moment Shin took a step forward after hearing Frondier’s words, he felt intense pressure.
“Shut up and listen to me.”
Athena’s eerie eyes.
Using the maximum allowable strength of the collar, tie his feet.
“… ?”
The gods stop moving because their appearance is mysterious.
Now, if you try to solve Athena’s power, there is nothing you can’t solve. Because Athena is possessed to some extent.
But she is the goddess of war.
There is nothing to frighten her under this earth. It must have been so.
Why does she dissuade the gods so much?
Why are you so afraid of the devil?
“Athena… ?”
What feels most strange is Aphrodite nearby.
It was her first time seeing Athena like this.
For Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, Athena as her warrior is beautiful in and of herself. Her outstanding appearance, wisdom to see the whole, and outstanding military strength are all like a picture that cannot capture every moment.
Meanwhile, Athena bit her lip.
‘Frondier, this is what you were aiming for! Well… !’
Gods who possess humans.
They attack using the human body, and there is no risk of injury because they are the humans they possess. This is exactly the discomfort Aster felt while fighting Apollo.
However, there is one fatal problem.
If they want to possess and exert their power, they must use divine power. It is natural because it is their power itself.
In other words, it definitely becomes the target of pantemonium.
If they just fight normally, Frontier won’t be able to handle those here.
However, it is now confirmed that most of them are gods and possess humans.
Under the condition of being in the Pantemonium, Frontier is a must.
“Athena, calm down. Even if that demon has the upper hand in the Pantemonium, we can kill him while he’s in there.”
Aphrodite said.
It was really sad to assume that she herself was a devil who could defeat God, but for the sake of her persuasion, she had no choice.
Athena shook her head.
“Even if that happens, one of us will definitely die.”
“… !”
Aphrodite was surprised.
The meaning of Athena’s words is very unexpected.
It was said that it was certain that the devil would kill God in the Pantemonium, and that the speed of doing so would be faster than cutting off his defenseless head.
“He is a man who would kill a god even if it meant he would die.”
It was a line that clearly showed how Athena viewed Frontier.
She bit her lip.
“And that man is not the devil.”
“What?”
“You still don’t know? “Frondier de Roach!”
Athena shouts. Frontier sighs at that.
Everyone around sees Frontier again.
“… Frontier de Roach?”
There is no god whose name is unknown. At least for the high-ranking gods of Olympus.
A man who humiliated Hephaestus.
A person who fought with Renzo, who had the divine power of Ares, more than just a whistle, and caused conflict between the gods on behalf of Hestia.
And above all, he is the man who defeated Belphegor and prevented the war.
“… “When I heard it, it looked like that.”
“And what about the wings?”
“I heard that when fighting Belphe Gor, he briefly showed what looked like wings.”
“How do you use the devil’s power?”
“Maybe you noticed? “The power of the devil is actually the name the devils call Ecleksis.”
The gods began guessing among themselves.
Frondier said while watching it quietly.
“Athena, what are you talking about?”
In a truly shameless voice.
Looking at Athena’s face distorted strangely.
“Frondier. Who is that? “Can’t you see the people around here falling into disrepair?”
“… What on earth are you thinking…”
Athena was dumbfounded and speechless.
Frondier’s words made even Aphrodite wonder.
The fact that humans use the power of demons is the same, and the fact that humans have put so many people in danger is also the same. Although they say they fainted, one of them could have died.
Since all the demons have been defeated, humans weaker than him will definitely be more dangerous. Aphrodite’s illusion.
Frontier stabbed that illusion.
“Then let me prove it. “That I am the devil.”
Frondier stretched out his hand.
“By killing a human being here.”
His black cloth moves and spreads its weave.
A bow was soon placed in his hand.
“Paladin Charon.”
“… !”
Charon’s face changed as he stood back and observed the situation.
“He is a good paladin who is trusted more than anyone else in this country of Palma and serves as an example to others.”
Fron Deer hooked an arrow to his bowstring and drew it. That face is extremely peaceful.
“If I kill him, it will be proven, right?”
