Chapter 137 Comfort
72Aphrodite and Frontier surrounded by demons.
It was natural that all the gods jumped in.
To save Aphrodite, to kill Frondier.
Visor!
Boom! Quang!
The clash between God and the 72 devils has begun.
“Get out of the way! “You devils!”
“Anyone who gets in my way will be killed!”
The gods’ piercing words. The face resembles that of a devil.
A scene filled with impatience and madness. There is already nothing but devils here.
“Don’t let anyone come close!”
“No one can enter here from now on!”
The 72 demons, led by Bael, respond.
Frontier enters the Pantemonium. Currently completely defenseless.
Frondier believed in Bael and brought Aphrodite to the Pantemonium.
Protect the king here. No matter what!
“Don’t be cocky!”
Cooung—!
“Ugh!”
A heavy blow to Bael’s front.
“Under! Is this the king of hell? “You are weak, so weak!”
Bael bit his teeth at the voice of God.
‘Damn, as expected, the power… !’
Bael’s power is weakening. The moment you clearly feel that.
When he became Bael, his power was cut in half, but even after that, his power only disappeared.
As 72Devil’s #1 team was having a hard time, the rest were not easy either.
Not all 72 demons have come here, and the opponents are gods. The human body itself is not a threat, but the weapons they are holding are the problem.
If it were just an auror or a battle of power, they would be equal or superior, but for demons, like gods, who do not have many specific weapons, the difference in the name value of the weapon is significant.
Suddenly!
At that moment, the sword that struck Bael cut him on the arm.
Cybel entered the war wearing a flaming sword.
“I’ll help you!”
“You’re helping me? “Human?”
Bael asks in surprise. Now he has wings and doesn’t hide that he’s a devil at all.
Cy Bell tilted his head.
“Isn’t this the Frontier side?”
“… Yes.”
“Then that’s it.”
Cybel moved his gaze straight ahead as if that was enough.
Bael asked again.
“Are you saying it doesn’t matter if I’m a devil?”
“It’s okay to be God.”
Cybel chuckled.
“Frondier’s identity is also a bit ambiguous.”
“… No, that guy is human.”
Caw─
At a time when there was chaos everywhere, a crow flew to Selena’s side.
[It’s 10 minutes. Cybel.]
“10 minutes?”
[A word from Frontier to me. It’s definitely an extension of the plan.]
At those words, Selena looked at May.
Extension of plan. A plan to move Frontier using shadow transfer.
You want it to start in 10 minutes?
“… “Then I’ll have to hold out for at least 10 minutes.”
Selena’s eyes lowered.
She took out the needle, held it in both her hands, and circled to her rear, keeping her distance from the fighting gods.
Shhh!
Needles being shot out, several bodies collapsing helplessly.
It won’t have much effect on the gods themselves, but this can reduce their numbers.
‘Lily, she can’t move because she’s using charm. She shouldn’t even be seen. Mr. Elodie is not suitable for this kind of melee. ‘Frondier will be worried about being swept away.’
The only people from Frontier’s group who can move freely are her and Cybel.
May is also there, but May asks Frontier not to fight. She says that in the end it’s up to the mage to decide, but she doesn’t want to fight.
She didn’t really force it, but she probably wouldn’t participate in the battle.
And the Aster side.
‘… ‘Better leave it alone.’
Aster is standing holding the Excalibur he received from Frondier and two of his own.
His eyes turned to Zeus.
A spear of lightning flew at Zeus. No matter how powerful you are, hoping to tie up Zeus for even 10 minutes is beyond greedy and foolish.
Only by Aster dealing with Zeus can he maintain the balance of this force.
Frontier probably knew that too and handed Excalibur to him.
’10 minutes. ‘Will I be able to endure it?’
In the midst of a long fight, 10 minutes is not a short time. Moreover, if you have to protect a certain place.
However, Frontier and Aphrodite are important people that each force must protect. Because of this, neither side can make a strong attack. Thanks to this, there was a bit of a delay.
Shhh!
The needle shoots out once again, however.
Valid!
“!”
This attack was completely blocked. Gods who hit the needles on their backs even while attacking demons.
They turned their murderous eyes towards Selena for a moment, but then went back to breaking through the devil’s wall.
‘It must be quite annoying, but no one is paying attention in this direction.’
Selena bit her lip. The will of the gods is stronger than you think. I thought at least some of them would come to attack her. As a result, the situation here gets better.
‘If things continue like this, it will be pierced.’
Moment.
There was one person passing by Selena.
‘Ah.’
Selena was shocked by that. She speeds beyond her perception and beyond her physical eyes.
A man who leaps a long distance as if it were one step.
It’s Hermes.
‘I will kill you. ‘You arrogant thing.’
Ever since Hermes arrived here, he has been looking for an opportunity.
The devil called Frontier had a sly expression on his face, but surprisingly, he was astute. That black liquid is especially problematic. Liquid or solid, now it’s a good question.
But now it has created a gap on its own. He entered the Pantemonium with Aphrodite. It may have been arrogance that he would be able to kill Aphrodite as soon as he entered.
The two are still trapped.
‘How dare you throw a spear at our king?’
Hermes has already identified all of Frondier’s allies. Even if I kill all the demons and the humans who claim to be the demon’s companions, it would be no use.
Hermes’ murderous gaze divides the entire land,
In the small gap between the melee between gods and demons, his blade stretched across the space.
“!”
Only when they got that close did the demons realize.
But everyone was late.
While the eyes were preoccupied with the melee, Hermes’ new form broke through and took Frondier’s head—
Wow!
“?!”
His body shook. It was more of a shock than a pain.
Someone hit him from the side.
Hiss!
And just in the nick of time, the blade grazed Frondier’s side.
‘Who is it? I’ve checked all of Frontier’s colleagues, so what’s my speed?’
Hermes floated in the air and sank lightly.
However, the person who hit him was leaning on the ground as if he had lost his balance.
“What kind of guy are you?”
Hermes unleashed his fierce spirit. I didn’t know what it was, but it was disturbing. He missed his chance to kill the demon king. The enemy is clear.
“Do you want to die, which devil are you?”
“I, I, I am human.”
Only then did the man wake up. A voice that sounds frightened.
“… Human? “Name it.”
Hermes is definitely a high-ranking Greek god. He cannot kill just any human being.
The man said.
“My name is Aias.”
“… Aias?”
Hermes’ face crumpled there. His hand holding his sword tightened.
“You mean Aias of the Achaean family?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Ajax the Achaia.
He, who had been hiding next to the fallen people, stepped forward.
‘This child, surely, came from Moirai’s prophecy…’
Hermes lived for now.
As other humans might know, I don’t feel like killing Aias.
“Get out of there. “I came to kill the devil.”
“…”
Ajax, doesn’t answer and at the same time doesn’t get out of the way.
Hermes asked.
“Why do humans protect the devil?”
“… “You are not the devil.”
Teacher? Are you talking about Frontier? Are you his student?
Hermes looked into Ajax’s frightened eyes.
The face, eyes, and posture still have a youthful appearance. This is not the face of a warrior with sufficient determination.
‘It’s bare hands.’
Besides, there were no weapons. Well, if he was holding something, he wouldn’t have hit it with his body.
A bare body, completely unarmed. He could have picked up at least one weapon lying around, but he couldn’t even make that decision.
“He is a man who has declared himself the king of demons. “What does it have to do with being inherently human?”
“Well, still…”
“Aias. “Don’t you know what the devil’s whisper means?”
Those who overcome are heroes, those who are possessed are humans, and those who leave their sins to the devil are also devils.
Hermes casts a cold gaze.
“Do you want to die as a devil too?”
“Ugh… !”
Aias was frightened and hesitated, but he did not back down.
He is truly defenseless now. He was unprepared.
He has neither weapons nor shield, and his strength is nowhere near that of Hermes. Even Pielot’s light counterattack could not be responded to. There was little chance of blocking Hermes’ blow.
Why on earth did you come forward, Aias?
“It’s not too late. Get out of the way. “I intend to forgive you.”
“…”
Why don’t you get out of the way, Aias?
“Ha.”
Hermes sighed.
“I’ll give you 3 seconds. “Make your decision within it.”
“!”
Ajax’s whole body trembled.
He can live if he retreats now. Hermes really intends to keep him alive.
If only he would get out of the way.
“Three.”
Within these 3 seconds.
“Two.”
Take your pick.
“One.”
Aias.
Why don’t you make a decision?
─Becoming a hero. He must choose that path to become a hero. Don’t just put it off endlessly.
“… Okay. Die, Aias di Acaia.”
Fault!
Hermes kicked the ground without delay.
His sword extends into the sky, drawing a line that strikes with his leap.
Aias was watching the scene.
From Noble mtl dot com
‘… ‘Make your decision.’
He wanted to be a hero.
He thought he would be a hero.
Everyone thought so. He clearly hit the natural stage.
It must have been like that.
He was on a sturdy and safe rail road leading to the hero.
Until Frondier and Pielot showed up, he was going to be a hero.
Why did it become like this?
Why am I standing here protecting that obnoxious Frondier?
I was destined to be a hero!
Frondier, whose fate was trampled upon, why?
‘You idiot.’
Ajax stretched out his hand.
It was completely natural, but strangely enough, I finally realized something that not everyone knew.
‘Where is such a fate?’
Chuck.
And in his hand, a spear was held.
“!”
Cough!
The sword of Hermes is blocked once again.
However, this time Hermes’ face changed.
‘This window!’
Enquespalos. It is the Spear of Ares.
Hermes instinctively shifted his gaze to Aster.
Aster threw the spear at Aias.
‘What on earth were you thinking!’
What decision did Aster make?
Wasn’t that guy an enemy of Frontier?
“Is this really because you’re a hero? Aster. “He says he can’t watch people die.”
So he threw a spear that he might or might not be able to catch, Aster.
Aster tilted his head and said.
“It’s unfair. “With bare hands.”
Hwiik─
And then he went one step further, and this time he threw the shield at Aias.
Hermes, who could not stand to see that, moved to strike away the shield.
Shhh!
And this time, he came to a sudden halt as the window passed before his eyes.
‘Oops!’
This window is Enquesphalos.
If you miss, the spear returns to Aias.
It would have been better to hold on, even if it was a little risky.
No, in the first place, it felt like Aias threw it as if it was intentionally thrown astray.
‘No, there is no way I know the power of this spear. ‘It’s nothing more than a coincidence.’
Chuck.
In the meantime, even the shield Linotoros fell into the hands of Aias.
Ajax holding a spear and shield.
It had a completely different momentum than when it was bare handed.
‘This is not simply because you have taken up the weapon of God.’
Hermes asked Aias with a nervous look.
“… Have you ever handled a window? Aias.”
Ajax, he adjusted his spear a few times and said,
“No.”
Contrary to the answer, Ajax’s appearance made even Hermes nervous.
Ajax holding a spear and shield.
Few gods knew the meaning of this one sentence,
‘Tch. Is this the content of the prophecy?’
Hermes was one of them.
“You are thinking of becoming a devil too, Aias. “I was destined to become a hero.”
Hermes’ sharp words. Aias was quietly listening.
It is not ignored. The voice clearly reached my ears.
Because Aias himself feels it.
Destined to be a hero, on a solid and comfortable path, on stage.
I felt that everything that had managed to maintain its shape was now completely broken.
“… “It was fate like that.”
After hearing Hermes’ words, Aias nodded his head.
Ajax walked the easy way.
His talent that sets him apart from those around him, everyone’s envy and expectations, and his family name that will never lag behind.
And there was a feeling that sooner or later, a golden opportunity that would make him a hero would come without any reason or basis.
That’s really funny.
He doesn’t even find it strange that the path to becoming a hero is so comfortable.
“Still, I’d rather be a hero than a devil.”
“… What?”
─Because being a hero doesn’t happen on your own.
Ajax said while looking at Hermes.
“I just decided.”
