Chapter 135: A slip of the tongue (5)
“I feel it… ?”
It was Athena who let out an absurd voice.
Did I hear it wrong? Is this the right thing to say after your current actions?
If she heard correctly, the situation is more serious than what she said when she said, ‘I don’t feel it.’
‘He was hit by Cupid’s arrow, made eye contact with Aphrodite, and even Aphrodite herself revealed his divine power.’
It’s a good thing if you don’t feel it.
I don’t know what method it was, but it means that there was a defense method and that was used to prevent it. If we find and destroy that defense, Aphrodite’s power will work properly next time.
But that’s not it.
Her power worked properly.
It worked, but it was only at a low level. Dani kicks Aphrodite with her foot. An action that could not possibly be seen as saying that she was a prisoner of love.
It really worked, but Frontier seemed to be asking what to do.
However, there was a little trick here.
A trick that was somewhat dangerous even from Frontier’s perspective.
* * *
Yesterday, at the dorm, Frontier went to Leah Reese’s room and asked for a favor.
“… Really?”
When Lily heard those words, one of her eyes trembled and her expression became strange.
“Yes, keep it a secret from the other kids.”
Frondier put her finger to her mouth and lowered her voice.
Probably no one will hear her, but she might be heard by someone passing by.
She thought about casting the soundproofing spell ‘Wind Whispers’, but the spell itself would probably be affected by Elo D’s mana detection. So, it’s best for her to say it quietly, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion.
“Therefore…”
Lili put her finger to her forehead, as if reaffirming what she had heard.
“You want me to hide in the square and use ‘Charm’ on you?”
“Okay. After Aphrodite used her divine powers.”
At this point, Lili was extremely confused.
As various questions came to my mind one after another, the first thing I said was…
“… “Are you not going to be angry later?”
It was.
Lili is one of the few who has truly experienced the wrath of Frondier. She clearly remembers what happened after she put her charm on Frondier.
Frontier smiled bitterly.
“Why am I angry? “It’s something I asked for.”
“After Aphrodite used her divine power on you in the first place, how did she know she was going to use her divine power?”
“It’s not that I know, it’s that I’m going to make it happen.”
Frondier is almost certain that Aphrodite will use her divine powers against him no matter how the situation unfolds.
He is the leader in this group. He also decides when to move.
So, as long as he poses an appropriate threat in the square, Aphrodite will try to recruit him as soon as she sees the opportunity.
‘As long as Elodina Selena shows herself protecting me, she will be enough of a stimulus to Aphrodite. Since I am seen as the focal point, there will be no food that looks as delicious as me.’
Of course, I didn’t know that Cybel would come here at the time, but in any case, he was planning to be the first of the group to appear in the square.
“Aphrodite’s divine power is almost certainly ‘love.’ “It’s about falling in love with someone and leading them to do what you want.”
All Frondier’s abilities have similar effects, and he is most wary of the same type of power as Aphrodite.
Even if an individual has power that surpasses all humans, demons, and gods, it means nothing if they are under someone else’s control.
“So I’m going to use charm on you and suppress its power?”
Even as Lili said this, she thought it was such an absurd idea.
To prevent yourself from falling into ‘love’, you will fall into ‘seduction’. Who would think like that?
“The power of you and Aphrodite are both the power to subordinate the other. “If both sides declare ownership, the balance will be maintained.”
“… “I’m not confident I’ll win.”
Lily said in a downcast voice.
The other person is the famous goddess of beauty in Olympus. There are few gods so famous in mythology around the world.
In comparison, although Lia Lis is a powerful demon, she is just Lia Lis.
Frontier tilted his head.
“Why are you so unconfident? “A devil whose name and name are alluring.”
“It’s all because of you!”
In fact, regardless of the fact that Lili’s opponent was Aphrodite, her confidence in her own power dropped significantly.
Needless to say, the reason is Frontier.
“I am. “I’ve seen my power blocked many times by mental resistance artifacts or armor, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone act like it didn’t work like you did!”
“… Was it a very powerful force? “It’s still working now.”
“So even if you say it with that face, it’s not persuasive!”
Frondier does not act at all as if he is under Lily’s charm. Watching what Frontier does makes her want to reconsider the meaning of ‘fascination.’
Frondier tilted her head for a moment and then she spoke.
“Lily, I have something to tell you.”
“What.”
“I have also suffered from Belphegor’s power.”
Aside from what happened to Belphegor before he was possessed, he suffered one more time before his eyes.
So Frontier knows the extent of the power of the Seven Sins.
“Your strength is nowhere near that.”
“… “There’s no need to comfort me.”
Riri muttered with a pout on her face.
But Frontier was sincere.
‘The power of sloth was powerful. So much so that I couldn’t move for a while. But that’s because Belphegor used the devil’s power without sparing anything.’
On the other hand, when Liaris used it on Fron Deer, she drained her power very slowly. So much so that she is unaware that Frondier is being struck by demonic power.
And Frontier reacted excessively to that level of power and expressed his anger. His tolerance was sensitive.
‘… Lia Lis was once called ‘Lilith’ by players.’
Lia Reese, a fascinating zodiac who likes men. It was widely believed, without confirmation, that she was modeled after her demon, Lilith.
Of course, at the time, players didn’t know that Riri was a demon, so they thought she was a model.
She is a Frondier who knows that Riri is a demon. He arrives at a natural thought.
‘Not a model, but if it’s really Lilith herself.’
Release. The history and fame of that name are not inferior to Aphrodite.
“Even if my spiritual power is like that.”
Then Lili spoke.
“Aphrodite always has Cupid by her side. Of course, she will be in the capital now, as her feet are tied up, but when her gods gather in the square, her Cupid will visit her. What are you going to do with that? “If she dodges the arrows, Aphrodite won’t approach her, right?”
“Oh, that’s okay.”
Frondier said it as if it was no big deal.
“Even if I don’t dodge, I will miss.”
* * *
In the current situation, there is actually one more force exerted on Frontier.
Lili is still hiding her body and casting a charm on Prone Deer.
Her divine power is overflowing here, and with the arrow of Cupid and the power of Aphrodite that Frondier has just hit, the square is already filled to the point where there is no more Eclexis Sugai.
It is extremely difficult for her to recognize her power, and even if she does, she just considers her to be another god.
‘Is this happening…? … ?’
Frondier is still under her charm but doesn’t change much.
That’s really disgusting, but seeing Aphrodite kicking made me feel a little better. See, it’s not just my power that doesn’t work!
“How dare you kick me… ?”
Aphrodite stood up, her shock still evident on her face.
Because she is so defenseless, it is true that Aphrodite is a goddess. Ironically, he is the god who can exert the most powerful power because he is stranded here.
So Aphrodite was even more shocked. Even though she has virtually no limits to her powers, she is impervious to Fron Deer.
“My power isn’t working…” …”
“No.”
Frontier answered.
“It’s working. “I definitely feel it.”
Frondier is feeling the power of Aphrodite. Even if Cupid’s arrow didn’t reach.
Due to the nature of Frondier’s possession, most of her mental attacks miss. The same goes for Cupid’s arrow. Even though it appears to have hit him, it is flying towards a distant place called Frontier before being possessed.
The only way to reach his soul is through ecclexis, such as divine power or demonic power. However, even that is resistant, and now even Lili has joined in.
“Do you want to try it out?”
Frondier took a step towards Aphrodite.
“How much ‘love’ did you give me? “How much I love you.”
His voice is as relaxed as his leisurely steps.
“How much can I hurt you while still loving you?”
She takes out her short sword and looks at Aphrodite with her emotionless eyes.
“I wonder about that. Aphrodite.”
“Crazy, bastard… !”
From Noble mtl dot com
Aphrodite has no information about Frondier because she is stranded in this capital.
She doesn’t know everything about Frondier’s characteristics and the fact that it is currently being kept in check by Leah Lis.
Therefore, there is only one answer that this situation and this reality is giving her.
‘My strength has weakened…’ … ?’
The suspicion I felt when women with outstanding looks suddenly appeared.
The seed of doubt takes root and begins to grow endlessly.
One of her gods, trying to bring her down.
‘I thought I didn’t have any major problems since I was only in the capital. I never thought that my strength was weakening.’
In fact, she even took the King of Palma as her prisoner and was living a luxurious life.
However, King Palma is human.
Now before my eyes, Frontier called himself a devil.
It still works on humans, but if her power has weakened to the point where it doesn’t work on demons.
“… You really are the devil… !”
Aphrodite speaks with confidence.
Frondier grins at that.
“Besides that,”
Heukcheon.
Scattering, area designation.
Frontier’s black spring spreads out in all directions and sinks to the ground.
Black water covered the ground and filled a circle around him.
Black weapons floating from the ground to the sky, turning into thorns and blades.
“What do I look like?”
Hissing─
Phew!!
“Kwaaa!!”
A scream suddenly erupts. This is not from Aphrodite.
A black thorn stuck in Charon’s shoulder.
However, Frondier’s eyes are still focused on Aphrodite.
As if Charon was just a sacrifice to show off to Aphrodite.
“What did you expect other than the devil, Aphrodite?”
“Ugh…”
Aphrodite bit his lip.
I don’t know the identity of this demon, but it is definitely a very high-ranking demon.
It’s comparable to the Seven Deadly Sins, and maybe even one of them.
“No! Aphrodite!”
A shout suddenly flew out from there.
It was Athena.
“That guy is human! I told you before! “Frondier de Roach!”
From there, Aphrodite’s eyes turned to Athena as if making a sound.
A look of obvious suspicion.
Are you saying that even when you look at that man now?
Why do you keep saying Frontier is human? What on earth is ‘Frondier de Roach’?
If I’m just a human, why doesn’t my power work?
‘… It’s you? Athena.’
God trying to bring me down. I don’t know how many there are.
Is one of them you?
“He’s not just a devil.”
There Frondier spoke. I raised my voice a little.
Although it was addressed to Aphrodite, there was actually another person to whom these words were addressed.
“I am the king of demons. Aphrodite.”
“… What… ?”
“Do you understand why your powers aren’t working well?”
Everyone hears that voice.
Gods, humans, and demons pretending to fall among the humans.
And above all.
“I am the king of demons, who rules over all the demons here.”
Paladin Antero, Paladin Charon.
The two demons, Bune and Furfur, also hear the voice.
Frontier is declared here and now. The meaning, the intention.
“Hey, crazy bird,”
Charon looks like he was about to shout something swearing, but his expression stops for a moment.
His face suddenly changed, and his body, which had been struggling in pain, moved quickly,
Chuck─
Frondier reached in front of him and knelt down.
Next to it, the same goes for the antenna.
Furfur and Bune possessed it and took control of its body.
The two chanted almost simultaneously.
“Your Majesty.”
At this time, when God and the devil were watching, Frondier declared himself the king of the devils.
His gaze landed on Charon’s possession, Furfur.
“Is your body near Bael?”
“… That’s right.”
“Tell it to Bael.”
──If you’re a devil, you’ve probably heard of contracts that start with this sentence.
‘I’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse.’
72 All devils, come under me.
I will save you.
Solomooon!!!
Blasphemy
