Chapter 27 Fake Threats
Mangot wants Frontier’s ‘ancient language interpretation ability’.
In other words, if Frontier interprets the ancient language and does not convey the contents to Mangot, there is no value to Frontier.
If Frontier tries to hide the contents of the ancient language, even if it is threatened, dig it out.
This was the instruction given to Selena, and it was also the instruction given to Hargley before.
Show the difference in power. Correct Frontier’s arrogant misconception that he has the upper hand. When that time comes, put aside the respect for the Frontier and the low self-esteem.
‘… … I, this man… … .’
Selena swallowed. It was Selena who was threatening, but it was Selena who was also afraid.
Before I knew Frontier, I thought it was an easy guide. The Frontier that I knew from the information was really open-ended.
Rather, I hoped that such a day would come sooner. I hope the day will come when I will cast off my annoying nicknames and slang and threaten Frontier.
however now.
Selena felt a cold sweat running down her back.
‘Will the threat work for this man?’
With the tip of the needle touching Frontier’s neck, Selena had an overwhelming advantage.
However, Frontier’s languid and insensitive eyes made him not feel that superiority at all.
“Selena, remove the needle.”
“I would not be in a position to say that. How is the situation now?”
“You don’t know what the situation is.”
That was then. Selena felt Frontier’s mana manifest. There was no change in appearance, but it was clear that he was trying to do something.
“I don’t know what you’re going to do, stop.”
“It would be quicker to pierce the needle than a horse.”
“… … .”
Selena bit her lip. Again, clumsy threats do not work for this man.
Selena prefers needles not only because they fit her skills, but also because they are more effective than swords or magic when intimidating.
Intimidation works better the easier it is to imagine.
It’s easier to imagine the pain of a knife stabbing your heart than a gun going through your head.
It’s easier to imagine the pain of a needle digging under your nail than a knife piercing your heart.
‘I can’t kill this man.’
However, a threat that does not work is not a threat. An ordinary person trembles in this situation alone and blows up all the information without information, but Frontier knows his worth.
To force Frontier to open his mouth even by intimidation and torture, in other words, he should not kill him.
The reason that Frontier’s life can be saved now is because of a surprise attack.
In order to torture him, he must first be arrested, but Selena wasn’t confident enough to fight Frontier head-on.
‘still… … .’
I have to do it though. Just as Frontier who doesn’t open her mouth is worthless, so is she who doesn’t open her mouth.
I don’t know how long this confrontation will last, but from here on, it’s a battle of patience.
but
“… … All right, Selena.”
“It’s good, what’s good? I never,”
“Tell me. what was written.”
Frontier said something strange.
“Because I’m a guy who knows that my life is too precious, and I think I could really die from doing this.”
With that said, Frontier raised both hands as if he had truly surrendered.
Selena shut her mouth with a firm expression. Really? If you know the contents of the ancient language, isn’t it? Then why did you hide it in the first place?
While Selena’s head was filled with questions, Frontier opened her mouth.
“The ancient language was written like this… … .”
Selena waited silently for Frontier’s next words.
“Selena, that’s your name.”
“… … ?”
“Your name was given to you by your parents.”
Selena didn’t know what she was talking about at first.
But she soon realized what it meant, and her eyes lit up.
“Come on, you dare speak nonsense… … !”
“Sounds like that? Your parents raised you flawlessly during your lifetime. It was natural. He was a nobleman.”
Hwaak, Selena grabbed Frontier’s collar. He lifted the weight and knocked it to the left.
I don’t know why Frontier didn’t resist, but Selena sat on top of Frontier and looked at Frontier with livable eyes.
Frontier still had calm eyes, as if nothing special.
“If it doesn’t happen right away… … !”
“Selena, your parents were nobles. The family name is ‘Banier’. It must have been ‘de’ because it was in the West. Your name is Selena de Vanier. Do you remember anything about this name?”
dog sound.
so condensed though. I clearly said so in my mind.
Selena’s hands trembled.
Barney.
It was the same when Frontier gave her the name ‘Selena’ at first. I felt a strange sense of dread. Selena’s pronunciation was light, but there was an echo that could not be overlooked.
And this time too.
Selena de Vanier.
Her intuition, or even her soul, a sense of incongruity, and a huge déjà vu to pass over as just bullshit.
“… … This is it.”
Frontier said, ignoring Selena’s confusion.
“This is my interpretation of the ancient language.”
“… … !”
Selena knew the meaning of Frontier. Of course, this is not an interpretation of an ancient language. It didn’t matter to Selena anymore.
“If in doubt, go to Mangot and tell him this. Whether it is true or not.”
* * *
Selena’s fighting skills were truly amazing.
I fell in the blink of an eye. I had no intention of resisting, but trying to resist would have made no difference.
But after I said it, Selena just stiffened. Just repeating rough breathing and trembling.
sh-
I gently pushed Selena, who was shivering as she sat on top of me. If I hadn’t done that, I thought I’d be trembling like that forever.
Even while I stood up and dusted and cleaned clothes, Selena sat down like that and rolled her pupils back and forth.
It seems like he spends his head hard on other things, but that doesn’t mean the lost memories will be revealed.
‘But seeing that he’s doing that doesn’t mean he’s completely gone from his head.’
Everything I said is true. I saw it as ‘analysis’. As I had intuited before, it required considerable mana. It was fortunate that the mana was amplified with the dragon heart.
I had something to hide. Selena’s last line in analysis. it just didn’t say
—Selena’s father was murdered by Mangot.
that one line.
I didn’t say this until now. Rather, I would have lost trust. Besides, I don’t know what Selena will do when she hears this.
I climbed into Cassian and saw Selena still sitting there.
“Tara. A lot of time was delayed. Threatening with a knife to my neck is unacceptable, but this is not the place to punish you.”
“… … Yes.”
Selena nodded obediently and climbed behind me.
Cassian raced through the woods again, and I was lost in thought.
What to do with Selena was a matter of later. Something more serious than that now filled my mind.
—For the giant who will overthrow the gods.
I remembered the ancient sentence Merlin showed me.
The ‘giants’ in the world of Etius are ancient beings.
Like ‘Titan’ in Greek mythology and ‘Jotun’ in Norse mythology.
Just because they are giants, doesn’t necessarily mean they are large, and in fact, ‘size’ has no meaning for the beings of the ancient times.
… … The problem is that giants are creatures that threaten the place of God, in other words, they are like enemies of God.
However, the sentence that King Arthur gave to Merlin.
‘… … perhaps.’
I may have misunderstood something about this world.

The forces of the wall were tasting hell.
I thought I was rolling down the bottom of hell until now, but it wasn’t.
Without Frontier, they were literally struggling in the jaws of hell.
“Ahhh!!!”
In the midst of being distracted by the surrounding monsters, at some point, a colleague who was next to him snatched him up and floated into the sky.
Something resembling a pterosaur pierced the soldier’s shoulder with its claws and flew high into the sky.
Soldiers from high altitude were dropped by monsters and fell mercilessly, and the rest heard the screams of the falling soldiers for a long time.
“Damn it… … .”
Sanders spit out swear words as he watched the battlefield ravaged. Still, he checked the barrier from time to time.
… … The barrier has not yet fallen.
“Sanders! Keep an eye on the front! If the barrier breaks, even if you don’t like it, you’ll know!”
“Yes, yes!”
Reedwee pushed Sanders.
Lidwee, the owner, decided it was time to step down and went to the battlefield on her own.
He lifted a long staff, and each time he swung it, lightning passed and split the left and right of the monsters.
Its destructive power was considerable, but it was not enough to withstand the number of monsters that were flocking to it.
Above all, among the demons outside, there were those who could withstand even the lightning.
“Ugh… … , this is me too, I’m old… … .”
Reidwe wiped the flow from his lips. I thought it was saliva, but it turned out to be blood. I didn’t think it was overkill, but my body was honest.
woohoo!
There was an earthquake on the wall. Reidwee, who was standing on top, was leaning and staggering.
A huge monster was knocking in front of the barrier. Ogre. That giant guy was banging my head against the wall. A tendon grew on the forehead above the lead.
“The all-weather foolish mule… … .”
Reid’s hand moved to the staff. Sparks flowed from the eyes and fingertips on the lead.
Whoops! Lightning struck the ogre’s head in a violent trajectory. Unfortunately, the body slowly leaned against the barrier.
“this,”
The ogre’s body was pushed through the loosened barrier. The already cracked barrier has cracked.
The moment it was about to break completely.

There was a bang, and the ogre froze. Even the barriers that were about to collapse were all stuck together.
“It’s better. The walls are thick.”
The main character was Aten.
Reidwee looked at it and smiled. ‘The little princess is bluffing… … .’ I mumbled that, but it was a very small sound.
“Shik… … f*ck… … .”
Meanwhile, behind the barrier, Cybel clenched her teeth and swallowed a rough breath. Her eyes were bloodshot with ruptured veins, and her beautiful face was messed up with sweat and blood-soaked hair.
“… … Mr. Cybel.”
“Ahh. are you okay. very fine no problem at all So will you stop calling me? It’s hard to answer.”
Cybel responded calmly to Aten’s worried tone.
Aten builds a barrier, and Cybel breathes mana into it.
Originally, it was intended to alternately supply mana after building a barrier, but that has not been the case now.
Part of the barrier had already been breached, and Aten covered the empty space with ice.
The number of times the demons pierced even that ice wall could not be counted anymore.
Aten had to build an ice wall again each time, so it was only Cybel’s responsibility to grant mana.
Because he never knew when the wall would collapse, Aten could not waste his magical power recklessly.
‘Cybel is already the limit.’
Cybel has not reached the limit, but has already crossed the limit.
In the first place, Aten felt a kind of wonder that she had endured this far, not a wizard.
“Frondie… … come really… … dead, you… … .”
Cybel sang with a face that looked like she was going to die first. Those eyes were still burning.
Aten asked.
“Do you still believe in Cybel-san?”
“… … uh… … ?”
“Do you still believe Mr. Frontier is coming?”
At Aten’s question, Cybel seemed to catch her breath for a moment.
And he answered as if asking what he was asking.
“Of course. So are you.”
