Chapter 136 Eclexis (4)
In the past, Frontier had seen Aster’s flash in front of his eyes.
Then he knew.
He said that in his eyes he could not escape Aster’s glare.
“Hmph!”
Frontier’s black sky blocked Aster in the middle of the distance. A solid, layered black wall.
That,
Kkwagwagwang!
Aster broke through everything and reached Frontier.
“?!”
After breaking through all the walls, Aster saw.
A small shield held in Frontier’s hand.
‘That… ?’
Wow!
“Ugh!”
Fron Deer groaned at the heavy pain he felt in his arm.
Still, I blocked it.
Shield, ‘Aegis’.
‘They say it absorbs most physical attacks! ‘I’m going to break my arm!’
Frondier wanted to scream out of frustration. However, the shield’s performance was accurate.
– War Goddess’ Protection: Absorbs most physical attacks. Additionally, this shield cannot be destroyed with weapons below legendary level.
The fact that it cannot be destroyed with a weapon of legendary grade or lower means that it can be destroyed with a weapon higher than that.
Aster’s spear is Enquesphalus. It is clearly a weapon of God.
‘If I hadn’t blocked it with Black Heaven, it might have been destroyed in one hit.’
Afterwards, the two clashed fiercely, leaving a gap between them.
Aster’s spear blade pierces the entire space where Frontier was located without mercy, and Frontier responds by throwing out all kinds of weapons and black sky.
“Now, wait! Aster!”
At that time, Elodie steps forward to stop the two.
But there was someone who stopped him.
“Are you okay.”
“Selena?”
“It’s still within the realm of possibility. “Frondier knew that Aster would attack.”
“You knew? How?”
“… I don’t know why. But Frontier knew.”
Selena’s unwavering gaze.
What made Frontier’s prediction wrong was that Aster arrived faster than anyone else.
But no matter when Aster came, he knew that Aster would attack him.
In other words, this fight is within Frontier’s plan. So there is nothing to worry about.
Although it seems to make sense.
“… “You want me to leave that alone?”
The scene before my eyes cannot be described as going according to plan or as a well-organized fight.
Puck! Bang! Quang!
“Your sword skills have improved! Frontier!”
“You’ve improved your spear skills!”
“You’ve never seen my spear skills!”
“That’s because you’ve never held a spear before!”
Quang!
Frondier defeated Aster with a parrying trick.
The two are slightly distant. Frondier took a breath as if he was organizing it and spoke.
“That’s why they say it has increased. “It’s not wrong, right?”
“… Hmm. “Is that correct?”
Aster nods as if he understands. His eyes turned to the sword Frondier was holding.
‘… A sword with a short body held in the right hand. That sword doesn’t change. Unlike other weapons, that sword is probably real.’
Neil Jacques’ shortsword. Frondier has overwhelming proficiency with this sword.
‘On the other hand, the left hand changes weapons all the time. You can swing any weapon without needing to retrieve it. ‘There are too many fouls.’
Frontier’s left hand can hold a weapon or a shield. The weapon sometimes changed while swinging.
You can’t tell until the end whether they are trying to attack, defend, or hit with a shield. It is almost impossible to respond with the human eye.
‘Besides, my one sum…’
Aster wasn’t surprised that one stroke was blocked.
I didn’t know what Frontier would do, but I knew he would stop the attack. Of course it is.
However, the shield that Frontier used to block the flash was very small. To block a flash with that, you really have to hit the pinpoint.
‘I knew where to attack.’
Frontier knew.
That Aster will never be able to kill him.
So you can’t aim for his head and heart, and you can’t aim for his lower body because it’s a top-down position.
Right upper arm, or shoulder. The area that Aster can target is extremely narrow.
‘Really, every time we meet.’
For the first time in a while, Aster felt a tendon growing on his forehead. Aster is usually the one who pisses off his opponents. Of course, he doesn’t think that way at all.
And Frontier.
‘… ‘Does this really make sense?’
Although it doesn’t show on my face, my stomach is rumbling.
I looked at Aster holding the spear with an uneasy feeling.
‘Give Aster a spear and play. Well, it’s one of the routes that players are very familiar with.’
Aster, the main character of the Etius game. Players used to give Aster all kinds of weapons.
However, Aster had a unique talent for the sword, and above all, he had an older sister, Elin Evans, who was the best swordsmanship teacher, so the sword became his number one priority.
‘Why on earth are you handling it so well?’
In this world, Aster has hardly ever held a spear. Even if he had it, he would have only swung it like a cultured one at Constell a few times.
However, it is responding to Frontier’s weapon combination.
It flies in the sky even though I haven’t seen it in a while, and since it can float in the sky, it uses one flash in the air in succession. Moreover, it doesn’t have to stop and there is no need to take a stance, so it can use one flash with any weapon.
Above all, he feels something similar to divine power within Aster’s body.
‘It feels like all the training I did while trying to wrap my head around it was all in vain.’
Additionally, Aster has a sword hanging on his back. It’s definitely Excalibur. Right now, I can’t feel any trace of him and he’s sleeping quietly.
Aster already has his main weapon, which is to use his spear to deal with Fron Deer.
Frondier is ‘predicting’ that Aster will not kill him, but Aster does not even think about Frondier killing him.
This is because, in Aster’s view, Frontier believes that everything has already been predicted and planned, and Aster himself is playing around with it. Aster has set Frontier as an infinitely high obstacle.
From his perspective, all he can see is that Frondier is playing with him. Why would an adult who plays with a child kill the child?
‘It’s a burden, Aster. ‘Trust is such a burden.’
Now maybe we should call it trust. I can’t believe he’s playing with himself. In fact, this person is twisting his whole body to avoid dying.
… This is such a strange thing.
When dealing with other enemies, Frondier’s emotions do not go beyond the realm of disgust and anger.
‘Every time I fight with Aster.’
At this time, Frontier and Aster think almost the same thing.
‘It’s annoying!’
* * *
Aster suddenly entered the battlefield.
The gods are taken aback by the sight, but soon see him confronting Frondier.
‘What about that window?’
And most people had similar thoughts.
‘Ares!’
Encespalos and Linotoros. There is no one among the gods who does not know about Set.
However, as the battle progresses and I listen to the conversation with Frontier, a question comes to mind.
The way he speaks makes it seem like he knows Frontier.
There is a different style of spearing than the existing Ares.
The ultra-fast attack aircraft seen at first. Most of them did not resemble Ares.
‘… Isn’t he Ares?’
‘Then who is it?’
And they soon find out.
“… “Aster, it’s Aster.”
“Aster? Astor Evans?”
“The child who is called the hope of humanity?”
Aster’s appearance is very striking, and once you recognize him, there is no room for confusion.
That is why the sight before their eyes is so impressive.
A man named Frontier who attacks humanity’s hope as if it would kill them.
This is the point where it doesn’t really matter whether the Frontier is human or demon. That man has become an enemy of humanity on a large scale.
Frondier was falsely accused of being a devil by many when he left the empire. Still, he remained an ally to the truly powerful, led by Aster.
But at this moment, even those powerful people have turned their backs on Frondier.
‘A human calls himself the king of demons, you idiot!’
That was what most of the gods thought, and they were confident of victory.
The hope of humanity is fighting against the king of evil under the unity of the gods. This kind of royal story is something that all gods love.
‘… I’m watching. Everyone.’
And Elodie, read the situation.
While Aster and Frontier are engaged in a fierce battle, the tension on the battlefield strangely becomes looser.
What seemed like a three-way battle between gods, demons, and humans now appears as if humans and gods have joined forces with Aster’s intrusion.
Now, Elodie and Selena, who are on Frontier’s side, will be suspected of being evil. Along with that appearance. That is the weight of Aster Evans and the value of his name.
Frondier is having a hard time responding to Aster’s attacks, so the gods are not moving. He doesn’t attack Elodie or anyone else. A hero steps forward, but there is no need for a god to interfere.
‘… ‘It’s the same as back then.’
Mangot War.
A strange situation where the enemy was waiting for the right time, but in fact the allies were also waiting for the right time.
When it appears that one’s strategy is working, people do not doubt what is going on.
‘… ‘It’s Frontier’s strategy.’
Frondier’s time-consuming strategy is now even hated.
What happens if time continues to waste like this?
Zeus and the gods who have surpassed Poseidon will come in addition, and on the other side, 72 demons will fly.
Frontier said it doesn’t matter which side comes first.
‘Who will come first…? … ?’
So when Elodie lifted her head to the sky.
“… “I wondered what he was doing because he dared to do such a shameless thing by passing me by.”
Elodie looked.
A man standing firmly in the sky.
His appearance doesn’t matter. He is a possessed person anyway.
The important thing is the lightning held in one hand.
“Is he really a hero of humanity?”
He lazily crosses his arms and looks down at the battlefield.
“I will forgive you if you kill that demon.”
That voice was heard by everyone. Gods and demons, as well as Aster and Frondier, who are currently fighting.
Frondier looked at Aster.
The eyes of Aster, who is currently facing a fierce attack.
‘Aster, you said you have a good sense.’
Frondier doesn’t have time to tell Aster everything about misju and goju right now. The very idea of stopping this battle suddenly in the first place is questionable.
However, if Aster really sees Frondier as a huge obstacle that he must overcome.
If you believe that all of this is well planned.
‘I will respond. ‘Aster.’
Frondier stretched out his hand.
The weapons made by those hands are of a different class than before.
“!”
From Noble mtl dot com
Aster flinches when he sees the weapon in Frondier’s hand.
‘Excalibur… !’
Excalibur, different from the one Aster possesses, steeped in rock lore.
Clearly, Frontier has something to say. This is a clear sign.
Of course, Aster didn’t know what that meant.
But just one word.
“Keep your promise.”
When Frontier spit out those words.
Boom!
Aster dropped his spear and shield.
His hand reaches behind his back and pulls out a sword.
That too is Excalibur.
Two swords that were originally impossible to appear at the same time have now come together.
Buuung!!
Excalibur Alpha swings violently, devouring all of Frontier’s mana.
Excalibur Beta condenses Aster’s aura into one point and spits out a bitter chill.
Frondier muttered coldly.
“Do your best. Aster.”
“… !”
You agreed to do that.
──If it is necessary to save the world.
──Let us become enemies, Frontier.
