Chapter 135: A slip of the tongue (4)
Before Frontier pulled out a protest,
“Karon, let’s go!”
The two paladins decided that this could not go on. Charon stepped forward.
Until a little while ago, Charon had pride and didn’t think he would lose, so he stayed quiet. But looking at the situation, I don’t think it’s time to think about that.
“Ugh… !”
Charon’s face contorts at the sight of the Paladin protecting him, but he says nothing. He put aside his pride.
One of the paladins, Frondier, turned his gaze in anger.
“Demon bastard, I will make you regret daring to attack Paladin.”
“…”
Frontier listened quietly,
Peeing─
He shot an arrow.
“… !”
An arrow passes between two paladins and flies towards Charon.
Quack!
In the middle, a paladin cut down an arrow with his sword.
‘It’s going down a strange trajectory! Is this really the devil’s bow?’
An arrow clearly aimed at Charon. It was good to avoid the gap between the two and chase down Charon, but the Paladin blocked him with his sword.
Fron Deer scratched his head.
“Hmm, I think it’s good. “I wonder if Unique’s bow is this good.”
Frondier had already used the Divine Bow and felt its power.
If it had been Chrysellakatos, he would have dodged the Paladin’s sword and reached Charon.
In his eyes, low-level writers are not spiritually spiritual.
“Well, what… ?”
Of course, that statement just seems like ridiculous bravado to Paladin.
“You’re so shocked, devil… !”
“Well, the Paladin is rolling around with just one arrow.”
Frondier said with an indifferent expression.
“Besides, he’s worried that his colleagues will die, so he’s regretting the fact that both of them came up. “You can survive for a while.”
“You bastard!”
Two paladins rush in without worrying about who goes first.
The sword carrying the aura drew two clean lines, each trajectory pointing towards the Frontier.
Frontier did not move.
Instead,
Wow!!
One sword was blocked by someone’s magic barrier that suddenly appeared,
Wow!
Another person rising from under the other black shadow blocked it.
The two people standing next to Frondier looked at Frondier with resentful eyes.
“I told you I didn’t want to do it! “What would you have done if I hadn’t stopped you?”
“Please at least give me a heads up! “I almost should have just watched!”
“You can’t do that.”
Paladin, who heard the conversation between the two, froze for a moment at this absurd situation.
The two were caught up in their own confusion.
‘What just happened? A magic barrier blocked my sword?’
‘Did that woman really come out of the shadows…? … ?’
The two fell back to regroup.
Frondier quietly watched the entire action.
“Selena. “I have a favor to ask.”
“Yes. “I will respond as best as I can.”
“Raise your head.”
“Yes?”
When Selena reflexively raised her body to those words,
Sreuk─
Frontier took off Selena’s mask.
“Oh! “Well, what are you doing!”
Elodie had already removed her mask following Frondier’s instructions, so both Selena and Elodie’s faces were revealed.
Although no one reacts as strongly to her bright appearance as her cartoon counterpart, it is true that everyone around her is excited to see her again.
The two became somewhat embarrassed. It feels like her own face is the effect of some kind of artifact.
Selena asked.
“Does this have any meaning to them?”
“No, not really.”
Immediate answer. No denial there.
Selena is dumbfounded. She had many things she wanted to say to Frondier, but no matter how much she did, she couldn’t look away from the paladin in front of her.
‘It doesn’t mean anything to these guys here.’
Frondier thought.
The reason he looked like both of them. For most people here, it doesn’t really mean anything.
If voting was in progress now, it would have been one of the variables.
Selena and Elodie, or Riri. Their appearance must have been quite a shock to the citizens.
But Charon knows the faces of these three. Besides, Athena knows.
If it is shown during the voting process, it is easy to be demonized by Charon, and then it cannot raise doubts about the vote itself, which Frontier wants.
Above all, it is too dangerous to send them out in the middle of the square where there are gods, demons, and paladins.
‘Sibel did that.’
Things changed with the advent of Cybel.
Information that not only Charon but also anyone else has, Cybel Forte. She can’t tell if she’s a human, a devil, or a god.
She made Athena and Aphrodite appear.
Therefore, Frontier was able to carry out the operation.
‘Elodie and Selena’s appearance means nothing since all the humans have fainted.’
Frontier is aiming for the one thing behind him that is out of his sight.
‘You are the only one who has meaning.’
Aphrodite.
Frondier didn’t necessarily look away, but it was obvious what kind of expression Aphrodite was making right now.
And Aphrodite was looking at this scene with a face almost similar to what Frondier had expected.
‘What are those?’
Aphrodite hid her trembling hands as she looked at the faces of the two who appeared.
I was able to tolerate it even when Cybel came out. She even understood Carla’s appearance.
One or two people who rivaled her beauty appeared in the past over a long period of time.
But now, what she can see with her eyes is already four. They are not scattered across the continent, but are gathered in one place.
‘A look like that is so common?’
Each and every one of her looks is comparable to that of Aphrodite.
Of course it’s not common. That can’t be possible.
However, Aphrodite cannot leave this capital. She doesn’t know what’s going on outside.
All the good-looking women came here from outside the capital.
Then, during the long period of time that Aphrodite was confined to the capital, that kind of appearance may have become common in other places.
Of course, human appearance does not improve in terms of beauty as time passes.
However, if it is magic or a curse. Or if God did something to humans.
‘No way, another god made me…’ … ?’
There, Aphrodite developed a fundamental fear.
After all, Frontier’s companions all have outstanding looks.
Could it be that he knew of Aphrodite’s existence and collected her pretty face from all over the continent? Meanwhile, you have the skills to stand up to Palandi? It makes no sense in common sense.
Therefore, from Aphrodite’s perspective, she is suspicious of the average appearance of other continents.
Frondier thought.
‘Aphrodite’s biggest problem is that while she is in charge of ‘beauty’, she tries to be ‘beauty’ herself.’
This may seem obvious at first glance, but it is one of the things that makes Aphrodite seem most different from other gods.
Just as Poseidon, who rules the sea, does not try to create waves every day, and Zeus, who rules the sky, does not choose his daily mood.
God is a separate being from whatever he is originally responsible for.
However, this is not the case with Aphrodite.
She, the goddess of beauty, is revered as beauty by all gods and humans, so she must be more beautiful than anyone else.
That is Aphrodite’s power and curse.

This is why Frontier is said to be the goddess of ‘jealousy.’
‘I don’t know what Aphrodite is thinking specifically right now. But.’
Either way is fine.
Be suspicious.
Doubt this situation where women who match her own looks come rushing in.
Will you be able to speak for yourself after this moment?
I am the ‘Goddess of Beauty’.
She says I am far more beautiful than anyone else.
“You both listen quietly.”
Frontier whispered.
“If possible, don’t kill me.”
“… ?”
I keep whispering to the two of them as a question mark comes to mind.
“If the battle is too one-sided, other paladins will start to step forward. The reason Paladin is not moving right now is because he understands the situation and is a kind of pride. “It doesn’t make sense for the people representing Palma to jump in for just three people.”
Frondier was convinced after seeing Paladin Antero and Charon.
Although Paladin is strong, he is weaker than Zodiac. There is nothing to worry about, even if there is a condition that Elodie and Selena should take care of one person each.
“And most paladins just don’t know anything.”
“… “It’s too pitiful to kill?”
“Huh.”
Frondier calmly admitted.
“They just want to punish evil.”
Frontier reminded them of Zodiac Ludovic. A man who gave his all in his loyalty to his empire. However, because of that, Ludovic struggled with great regret.
She wonders what has become of her since Frondier left. Will Ludovic really overcome it?
“The most important thing is to take your time.”
“Until when?”
“Sorry. “It’s not up to me to decide.”
“… Okay.”
Elodie nodded her head in understanding. Same goes for Selena.
“Okay then.”
Fron Deer raised his voice and looked at Charon.
“Shall we finish? “Caron.”
“… !”
Hiss
Frontier’s bowstring is drawn,
Tadat!
Elodie, Selena, and Paladin move almost simultaneously.
“Now, wait a minute, ugh!”
Paladin wants to protect Charon, but it is not possible due to Elodie and Selena. Charon realized. He tries to get up quickly, but he’s not used to the pain yet.
Hiss!
“Sigh!”
Wow!
A sword swung in haste. He barely blocks the arrow.
‘Don’t notice.’
Frondier thought as he aimed his next arrow.
From the second arrow that grazed Charon’s shoulder, Frondier did not use ‘Crush’. If he had used it, the second arrow would have hit Charon very well instead of grazing him.
To be precise, the arrow was aimed at other things that were very close to Charon. There is no way not to use the ability. He aimed and fired at the rocks rolling next to him or the trees behind him. Charon thinks the curved arrows are aiming at him, but Piljung is actually attached to other things nearby.
Charon’s current state is honestly not in a state worthy of a proper fight.
Pielot suffered even more serious wounds and made a great contribution, but compared to him, Charon flounders under the mana of the demon world that is as strong as his fingernails. That fact really pissed Frontier off, but he had to hold on for dear life for now.
‘Don’t notice, Charon.’
Cough! Cough! Wow!
Charon is doing his best to block the arrow.
He knew he would, but the arrows would have missed even if he had stayed still.
If you know the truth, it’s a really stupid joke, but from Charon’s point of view, it’s actually a good thing.
‘If I notice, I will have no choice but to kill you.’
Frontier increased his speed a little more. It’s as if he’s become impatient with Charon, who blocks better than expected.
His two companions’ fight with the Paladin is prolonged, and the number of Paladins remaining is large. Above all, there are gods.
So I want to finish it quickly.
The arrows are hastily made to look like that, and the demonstration is pulled clumsily.
It’s as if your field of vision is narrow, as if you’re only looking at Charon.
And then,
“──If it’s not divine power, that’s fine, right?”
Phew!
Something stuck in Frontier’s back.
His eyes darted around. There was no pain.
Moment,
“Frondier.”
A woman who landed with a brilliant light in front of his eyes.
She was Aphrodite.
She makes eye contact with Frontier. She completely unleashed her powers at the same time.
Frondier momentarily looked away. Where he changed his gaze, there was a young boy holding a bow, floating in the air.
The bow had golden arrows.
A painless golden arrow, a floating little boy.
As soon as the arrow hit the target, Aphrodite made eye contact with Frondier.
“… Cupid.”
“Oh, you know that too.”
hehehe, Aphrodite laughed.
Frondier sees Aphrodite after being hit by Cupid’s arrow. Aphrodite is demonstrating her divine power to the fullest.
“Now you are mine. You cannot disobey or ignore what I say. That’s the power of love. Now kneel in front of me—”
Oh my!
And.
Everyone saw that scene.
With your mouth open.
Their gaze poured from left to right.
“… “That, that, that,”
What?
Aphrodite, who was next to Frontier a while ago, is stuck against the wall of a building on the far right.
Frondier was stretching her legs in Aphrodite’s direction.
What it means is,
‘… ‘I kicked Aphrodite.’
Frondier was hit by Cupid’s arrow and received all of Aphrodite’s divine power.
He kicked Aphrodite coolly and then slowly lowered his foot.
“It is the power of love.”
After muttering,
“I can definitely feel the effect.”
He opened and clenched his hands and spoke with a somewhat uncertain look on his face.
