Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Episode 149: Niflheim (2)

Frondier approached one of the motionless humans.

The pupils have stopped and there is no breathing. I lightly touched my face, but it felt cold.

“… … “These are all giants?”

“okay. I told you, Frontier. It’s the same wherever you go. “All the giants in mythology look like this.”

Those who rebelled against God. That’s what I learned at Constel, and the reality is not that different. The only difference is that the rebels against God were actually on our side.

But in the end, they are losers.

Those trapped in Pantemonium and suffering endlessly.

“Is this what you see wherever you go?”

“okay. Your thoughts were correct. All giants are humans. “There are no exceptions.”

“… … .”

“What did you expect? Okay, let’s talk about famous giants. Surtr of Muspelheim? Are you going to burn the world during Ragnarok? A giant sword that will split the world in half with one swing? No, it’s not. Surtur is also human. He is also a defeated human being. “I was the first to be defeated by the gods, nothing more, nothing less.”

Surt. It is a famous name in Norse mythology. A giant who existed to set the world on fire.

But that’s just a myth. It’s nothing more than a common exaggeration made for fear.

Frondier asked.

“… … So what is King Arthur or Joan of Arc? “They are revered as heroes.”

Belphegor closed his eyes deeply and sighed.

“Frondier. They died the right death. “That alone is good luck.”

“… … .”

“What good is it for the gods to call a giant a hero? From the gods’ perspective, giants are nothing but loathsome enemies. However, because he achieved so great a feat that he deserved to be revered by humans, it became impossible to say so.”

King Arthur and Joan of Arc were not defeated in the Pantemonium. They died a pure death.

That is why humans reverence them as heroes. Ironically, because it confirmed their deaths.

There are very few giants who are revered as heroes by humans. The only ones who have accomplished so great a feat that it is impossible for the gods to downgrade them.

“Most of the endings are like this. Frontier. That’s what giants are like. “Remember that the name itself contained hatred from the beginning.”

giant.

People who grew up under God without knowing the subject.

That’s why the gods called them giants.

By making people believe that giants are the enemies of humans.

Belphegor said.

“Have you seen enough now? “Let’s go, time keeps getting delayed.”

“Are we just going to leave like this?”

“Then what are you going to do?”

Belphegor took a step closer to Frondier.

“Are you going to listen to their complaints and complaints one by one? By entering each and every one of these pantemoniums?”

Belphegor speaks with evil eyes.

No, there is no point in that now.

He was right.

“Give up, Frontier. “This is a waste of time.”

“… … Are they all dead?”

“Yes, he’s dead.”

“Even if I re-enter, wouldn’t I still be alive?”

“… … ha.”

Belphegor sighed proudly.

“You really like humans. “I never thought I would see you ignoring reality like this.”

Belphegor said that and approached one of the humans who was standing still.

“I will personally open your eyes.”

Belphegor said that,

Wow!

He raised one hand and struck the human body.

The trajectory was not controlled at all and was extremely violent.

“Belphegor!”

Selena shouted.

After Belphegor struck, the human crumbled to ash and sank with one blow.

“… … !”

“Frondier, I didn’t use Auror just now. You can see it when you see it. “Now, even if children were hit by this attack, they would end up crying at most.”

Frondier looked at Belphegor without answering.

It was a bitter look.

“This body rotted a long time ago. It’s so cold here that I’m just frozen. “Why can’t we take things for granted?”

The only thing that enters the Pantemonium is the soul. The body remains here.

An incredible amount of time has passed. There is no way the body is alive.

“Or would you like to re-enter the Pantemonium? Unfortunately, they don’t have the information you like so much. “These are things you already know.”

Belphegor’s words are cold, but Frondier also agrees.

That’s why Frontier doesn’t refute it.

“let’s go.”

Belphegor turned his back and said.

“We have to save Atjie.”

Yes.

That’s right.

Frondier came to save Ajie.

I can’t be stranded by people I’ve never seen before.

Besides, they say you can’t get it in the first place.

‘At least.’

Frontier once again took in all the stopped humans.

‘Let’s record it.’

To register them in the workshop.

Weaving, an archive that originally existed to record everything.

In order not to forget the fight they had in the distant past.

“… … good.”

After registering everything, Frondier took off.

I walked slowly and looked at the workshop to check the registered people.

Stand tall.

And the steps soon stopped.

“Mr. Frontier?”

“… … same person.”

“yes?”

“There are already these people in my workshop.”

Frontiere can see the entire thing through attack and defense skills.

After the workshop became an object of weaving, he learned that the workshop had a basement.

And the numerous stone statues I saw in the basement.

‘How did this happen?’

Frondier put one hand to his mouth. A habit that comes up when thinking.

‘I knew it when I met Joan of Arc, but my workshop has the characteristic of passing down skills.’

What is left by the previous weaving skill holder is passed on to the next holder. In fact, considering its nature as an archive, it may be natural. There is no point in keeping records if they are all scattered when the holder dies.

So, in the basement of the workshop, there were many stone statues that Frontier had never registered.

And those here belong in it.

‘I thought it was a place to register heroes?’

Of course, Frontier does not know the identity of all the stone statues in the basement of the workshop.

However, all the people he checked were famous heroes. King Arthur, Merlin, Bellerophon, Roland, etc.

But even these people were at that statue.

“They are already in the workshop?”

Belphegor asked there. Frondier nodded.

“okay. If they just fought against God and lost, it’s strange that they’re registered in my workshop. “There are quite a few registered people, but not everyone is adding them.”

As Frondier continued talking, he suddenly felt something strange and looked at Belphegor.

“No, I wanted to ask you the last time we fought, but how do you know weaving?”

Belphegor just spoke as if he knew attack and defense.

If you think about it, he already knew about weaving. When I first met and fought Frondier, I immediately recognized Frondier’s weave.

How does Belphegor know about weaving? It may have been in the past, but it is a skill that no one knows among modern humans.

“That’s because I saw it.”

But Belphegor shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal.

“You saw it?”

“okay. I saw one of the giants use it in the past. “I didn’t use it like you did.”

While saying that, Belphegor touched his forehead with his finger as if recalling a memory.

“The giant used weaving as a virtual space. After drawing a unique magic circle, I placed woven items on top of it. Then, when you activate the magic circle later, the things registered as weaving within it will appear again.”

“… … ah!”

Frondier knew what was going on and shouted.

It is Mangot. Menosorpo discovered in Cape Mangot. When I restored it and activated it again, I was able to meet Joan of Arc.

‘that’s right. Joan of Arc died a long time ago, but she appeared before me again. That was the power of weaving.’

Joan of Arc said: It is the power of weaving that allows her to reappear.

Although she can only do very limited things and cannot leave the magic circle, Joan of Arc has clearly appeared again.

‘I can’t do that yet. ‘I don’t know how to do it.’

However, if that is the power of weaving, then of course Frontier would be able to do it.

Weaving has levels.

However, the level up did not occur for a very long time. As if growth has stopped.

Until now, I thought I had reached the end of the level and left it alone, but looking at this situation, there is clearly a higher level.

There are conditions for leveling up that have not yet been achieved.

‘if.’

Frontier looked at the smart watch. This thing has long since become unusable.

Could there be a hint about weaving in this?

‘… … That can’t be possible.’

However, the smart watch did not respond and nothing changed.

It was still a useless object.

“Hey Belphegor. “Where did you meet that giant?”

“You mean the one that used that weave? Well, it wasn’t that special of a place. All I remember is that it was a blacksmith shop somewhere.”

Belphegor frowned just recalling the memory, perhaps because it was so long ago.

“smithy?”

“Yes, I was making some kind of weapon.”

“How could you, the devil, see that?”

“Those guys didn’t even know I was a devil. And at that time, humans had no time to worry about demons.”

Well, demons are indistinguishable from humans. As long as you hide your wings. Until now, Frontier has also taken advantage of that point many times.

“Is it because of God that you didn’t have time to worry about the devil?”

“yes. When you’re fighting against God, there’s no room to keep the devil in check. Moreover, from the devil’s point of view, there is no reason to interfere with humans’ willingness to fight against God. “That’s why there was no interference between them.”

“So what kind of weapon were you making?”

“I don’t know the name. “It looked similar to a spear.”

Excited.

When Frontier heard those words, his heart sank for a moment.

I try to keep my composure and ask again.

“… … “Do you remember the giant’s name?”

“Hmm.”

Belphegor crossed his arms and lowered his eyes.

A voice that flows without any meaning.

“The name is probably… … “It was Loki.”

* * *

snake.

There was no other way to express it.

Other than that, there is nothing special to describe.

A dark green body, reptile-like eyes, a flailing tongue, and a long, torn mouth.

It’s a snake.

Just that,

“… … “Wow, it’s so big.”

It’s just an overwhelming size that dries up even Cybel’s admiration.

“hello. “Do you have a name?”

[you.]

The snake interrupts Cybel and speaks.

[How did you get here?]

“Eh?”

Cybel asked back.

“How can you say that? “That’s what brought me here.”

Cybel recalled the situation just before.

A snake suddenly appeared above King Palma’s head.

The king was distressed, so he tried shooting fire, but it didn’t work, so he caught the snake with his bare hands.

What appeared right after that was this sea, and that snake.

[I? No way.]

The snake shakes its head. The leisurely movement created a breeze.

[I just tried to kill you.]

“… … “Oh, that’s right.”

Cybel had nothing to say so she kept her mouth shut.

‘They tried to kill me, but somehow I ended up entering this area.’

Cybel asked.

“For your information, how did you plan to kill him?”

[Of course, it’s ecclexis.]

Saibel blinked at those words.

Eclexis.

It’s a word I’ve heard before.

After the chaos in the city of Palma last time, Frontier explained:

… … But, what did they say… … .

“ah.”

Cybel nodded as if she realized.

“Here, it’s Pantemonium!”

[…] … I didn’t know that.]

A relaxed look appeared in the snake’s eyes.

The snake tilted its head as if it didn’t really understand.

[So you are saying that you resisted Ecclesis without even being aware of it. Without knowing the form of one’s soul.]

I don’t know the form of the soul.

That’s right, Ecclesis was the power of the soul.

You can only use that power if you become aware of your soul.

Clearly, Frontier said so.

Cybel grinned.

“I’m lucky!”
