Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Chapter 150 Mystiltain

While Malia conducts her search with shared senses.

Fili thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“Robert.”

“yes.”

Robert, the knight who was silent next to him, answered.

“While Aster is coming this way, can’t you take out Mystiltain first?”

Frondier wants Aster to get Mystiltain.

This is something that Frondier had already told Elodie, and Elodie had already shared most of the information that Frondier gave her with the imperial palace.

“I’m trying it now, but I think it’ll be difficult.”

“Why?”

“Mystiltein is said to be located in the basement of the Parthenon. So we have already sent the knights there, but the poison is so thick that they cannot go underground.”

“What if I use Aura or healing?”

“Neither worked. I don’t think it’s anything like that.”

Those words made Fili’s eyes narrow.

‘It’s not just an ordinary poison. ‘Is this something God did?’

Fili thought.

If she were a god, she would have destroyed something like Mystiltein right away. A weapon that exists only to kill gods is, of course, unacceptable.

But I couldn’t do that. Does this mean that Mystiltein is a weapon that is not easy for a god to even touch? Is that why they spewed poison around it to prevent humans from approaching it and built a temple on top of it?

Then Robert said.

“It is said that if you have spiritual power, you will be able to break through that miasma.”

“divine power… … ? Oh, I see. “If it is really God who created the miasma, then it means that we can defend ourselves with divine power.”

But if that’s true, there’s another problem. Fili’s frown frowned.

“… … “Now you have magical powers?”

“It’s impossible.”

Just a few days ago, the Zodiacs pledged to renounce their divine powers. As a result, the forgotten enthusiasm of the empire bloomed again. It makes no sense to say that they need divine powers again. Beyond morale, there is a risk of losing all real power.

“Besides, the Zodiacs are now in a position where they cannot move freely.”

“I did.”

Now the Zodiacs are staying in the imperial palace. In the form of each watching the other.

This is because you never know when they might be possessed.

Advent requires a condition, but possession does not. The Zodiacs said they would give up their divine powers, but it is not that simple.

Just as humans cannot have divine power if they want to, it is not something that is thrown away if they want to throw it away.

So the Zodiacs are watching each other in case someone is possessed.

Regarding this, Aten said,

“What if they are possessed at the same time? “Doesn’t that seem likely?”

I asked, and the answer was Ospreet.

“It’s not just here that communication is difficult. Olympus and Asgard are also not easy to contact each other. “You won’t be able to get the timing right and possess them at the same time.”

In other words, even if they are possessed at the same time, at most half of the Zodiac. At that level, the rest can be overpowered.

In particular, Ospreet, which has no divine power, is definitely safe, so you can rest assured in that regard.

‘… … Rather, the problem is,’

Fili glanced toward the imperial palace conference room.

‘It’s Inies.’

Elodie de Inies Richae. She is also staying at the imperial palace for these few days. The reason is the same as the Zodiacs.

However, its severity is different from other zodiacs.

Fili talked to Robert out of earshot of Elodie.

“What if Miss Elodie is possessed? “If all five gods’ powers are unlocked.”

“First of all, Miss Elodie herself said that it would not happen. “If you have the same level of resistance as her, you have to become a main god to possess her.”

“… … given. Among her divine powers, the main

“Yes, there is Vishnu.”

Philly frowns at that.

Even if you believe Elodie’s words, if Vishnu becomes possessed, that alone is dangerous. There is no telling what would happen if a god possessed Elodie to that extent.

Elodie said that if someone could use her body freely for 5 minutes, a village would disappear without a trace.

But this is only when she applies her own powers.

What if Vishnu’s power joins in, and Vishnu uses all the magic that Elodie can use?

“Miss Elodie said her friend was helping her.”

“… … “That friend is also God.”

Robert nods. Fili’s head hurts.

‘The Vedic gods are gods of another world. It might have nothing to do with this war.’

However, gods are originally beings armed with whims. This is the type that Philly hates so much.

‘But if what Miss Elodie says is true, most gods won’t be able to possess those with that level of resistance.’

What on earth is that resistance?

Why was it that Elodie succeeded in resisting, and that people like Zodiac were all possessed during the last Palma incident and flew all the way to Agoris?

“… … I wish there was at least one more person. “A person you can trust to stop the Zodiac from going on a rampage.”

Fili sighs.

It’s simple to say, but extremely difficult.

This means that even without having divine powers, you should be superior to the Zodiac who has divine powers. The only person who can do that right now is Ospreet.

“… … Monsieur Ampere, won’t you help me?”

Ampere is still inside the Roach Mansion. Rumors spread to the imperial palace that the subjects were shaking.

Well, of course it is. Even if he was Fili, he didn’t have the courage to face Ampere now.

Philly spits out a complaint. Robert looked straight ahead at Philly without saying a word.

“… … Strange.”

The voice heard at that time.

It was Malia’s muttering.

“what’s the matter? “Malia.”

“Oh, sorry. majesty. Without even knowing.”

“are you okay. say it.”

Malia spoke with complex eyes in response to Fili’s words.

“Actually, I don’t think I’ll ever find it this far… … .”

“… … hmm.”

Fili didn’t say much, but he had the same thoughts as Malia.

Malia’s sense sharing is of little help in battle except in special situations, like Frondier’s ‘Firecracker’. At best, Gregory can do things like peck with his beak, scratch with his claws, or bite small animals. However, Malia simply shares the senses and cannot control the object.

Instead, the range of sense sharing extends to the distant continent of Agoris, the number and precision of targets are optimized for observation more than any other skill, and no amount of magic can block her sense sharing.

Malia is searching the empire with all her senses, but she can’t find the place of worship.

“Aren’t the kids doing the research half-heartedly?”

No matter how good Malia’s sharing is, it is of no use if the person sharing it has poor research skills. However, Malia shook her head.

“From what I have seen through shared perspectives, it seems like the dispatched people are watching closely. Besides, the place of worship is not something that can be hidden even from a cursory glance.”

Large number of people, large space. Just looking at these two conditions, it is not difficult to find.

But I can’t find it.

“There’s something I don’t know yet.”

Malia thought hard.

If this happens, I wonder if there really is somewhere deep underground in this empire that no one knows about.

But even so, you have to go in and out of there to worship. It’s frustrating because you can’t see that kind of movement.

“You can’t stop God by finding a place to worship. “They will invade here at any time.”

“Yes, this is just a waste of time.”

The gods will definitely attack humans. To stop Frontier.

Blocking places of worship is the primary solution. The gods must have another way. I don’t know what it is though.

But whatever the method, the empire’s goal now is simple.

─Until Aster has Mystiltein, stop the coming of God.

* * *

The empire is wide.

However, if you compare it to the empire in its heyday, no one can say that.

If someone’s arms are huge, that person’s entire body is naturally huge. To that person, one of his arms would not be huge at all. That is the current state of the empire.

There was a time when the Palind Continent and the Terst Empire were the same thing. Because the entire continent was the territory of the empire.

However, the current empire, which protected humans with a wall, handed over most of its territory to monsters.

Beyond the empire is a vast land bigger than the empire itself.

An area where monsters from outside are active. As if that wasn’t enough, it is still the domain of monsters that are pounding their heads against the wall.

But now that place is,

bang! Quang! Quaaa!!

It was literally falling apart as if a meteorite had fallen.

“Kaaa! go away! “Get the fuck out of here!!”

There is a man who runs around on the ground, and if that’s not enough, he jumps in the air, destroying the ground, trees, and mountains as he pleases.

This is an area where monsters from outside are supposed to be present, but a single human is running rampant as if it were his own home.

However, his spirit is so ferocious and crazy that there is no one like him, and now even monsters don’t go near him. Some of the dumb monsters had already turned into mush and had become one with the ground, trees, and mountains.

“Fuck off!! Ares!!!”

Kwaaang!

This time a man slams his head into the ground. That alone causes a mild earthquake.

His gray hair grew longer and sprawled out haphazardly, and his beard hung unkempt.

Renzo, he was running around like a madman in the middle of the outer zone.

Of course, in the case of Renzo, this expression feels a little lacking, or to be more precise, more than usual.

“Whoo, whoo, whoo…” … !”

Renzo looks ahead with lifelike eyes.

Blood was already flowing from his fists and forehead, and his clothes were all tattered and torn.

No one did this. Renzo brought this on himself.

No, not exactly.

[Renzo… … !]

It’s as if someone guided it in front of Renzo, with only Renzo in sight.

He faced Renzo with almost the same anger as Renzo.

[Go now and bring my spear and shield!!!]

“why me! “You crazy b*stard!!”

What Renzo said isn’t that wrong, but when he says it, it somehow sounds wrong.

Ares extends his hand in response to Renzo’s cry. The hand goes towards Renzo’s head.

“Keuuu… … !”

Renzo grits his teeth.

He is feeling very dirty right now.

It is literally the feeling of losing control of your body.

Since the last Palma incident, I felt that Ares was doing something strange, but this time it reached its peak.

In fact, even at that time, Renzo did not prevent Ares’ possession.

Renzo actually has little resistance to possession. This is because they cannot be aware of their own soul like Frontier or Elodie. It would be very difficult for Renzo, who does not even have such information, to resist Ares’ possession. Unless you’re a genius like Elodie.

But Renzo may not be a genius, but he’s definitely crazy.

Quang!

[Ugh… … !]

I hit my head on the ground again. The blood that was already flowing from my forehead was even more intense.

“Ha ha! How dare you steal my body! “Before that, I’ll turn this body into a half-asshole!”

[You really are crazy!]

“I’m tired of saying that now!!”

Ares actually predicted this outcome. That’s why I didn’t force myself to be possessed in Palma. Because I expected Renzo to harm himself. There is something in common among fellow crazy people.

“If I were to lose my body to a guy like you even for a second, I would rather not even be able to use my remaining arm… … .”

Instead of speaking, Renzo looked somewhere else.

Renzo broke all kinds of things around here. Literally, regardless of land, mountains, trees, and forests. If I could touch the sky, I would break it too.

Somewhere in the forest that was revealed like that.

Several people were seen entering the cave with cautious steps.

“… … Huh?”
