Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Chapter 150 Mystiltain (11)

When Frontier arrived at Olympus,

Strange events also occurred in the empire.

“Ugh!”

“Gagging!”

The imperial palace, the place where all the zodiacs gather.

Suddenly, the Zodiacs screamed with pained expressions on their faces.

“What, what, what’s going on?”

Elysia, who was going back and forth between the imperial palace and the dark room to track the progress, looked around in surprise.

Meanwhile, Fili sharpened his eyes. Check the ospret immediately.

“… … .”

Ospreet nodded.

It means that it is healthy.

then,

“It’s possession.”

Aten, who was next to Fili, said.

“The Zodiacs have decided to abandon God, so if you try to possess them, there is bound to be a backlash.”

The spirit of the imperial palace boiled. It wasn’t just a feeling, but the auras of each Zodiac filled the imperial palace, pushing each other away.

Pressure that even ordinary people can clearly feel.

“Osprit!”

Fili shouted, and the great wizard had already completed the spell.

space magic

chain of cold

Sigh!

When Ospreet stretched out his hand, all of the Zodiac’s arms and body were bound with black chains.

Contrary to its name, this chain is not particularly cold. However, although this chain can be seen, it cannot be touched, so the more you try to free it, the more it becomes like holding onto your body.

To others, it looks like he is clutching his body from the cold.

“uuu… … !”

Of course, the Zodiacs have no particular intention of releasing the chains right now. Just resisting possession is difficult. Rather, it is more reassuring to think that Ospreet will catch you if you fail.

“Osprit, can that chain really hold the entire Zodiac?”

When Fili asked, Ospreet answered willingly.

“It would be impossible.”

“… … .”

“This is nothing more than a consolation. It would be impossible for me to tie all the zodiacs together. But not everyone will lose their bodies at the same time, so we have to look forward to that.”

Can the Zodiac resist the possession of the gods? Will it be taken away in the end?

I do not know.

However, even if it is taken away, the probability of it being taken away at the same time is slim.

If so, Ospreet can focus his power on the side where his body was taken. This chain now is for that time.

“Osprit!”

Then someone shouted.

It was Reedwi.

Unlike other zodiacs, Ridwi seemed a bit more relaxed. Although he is having a hard time resisting possession, he has enough strength to talk to Ospreet.

“It’s not enough to tie you up!”

“then?”

“Attack Zodiac!”

Ospreet’s eyes widened at those words.

“Are you serious?”

“okay! “It was the most effective thing I’ve ever done!”

“… … “Are you sure you harmed yourself?”

“Don’t make me say the same thing again!”

What Ridwi is saying is that he eventually freed himself from God’s possession.

Ospreet hesitates. However, attacking a colleague is not something that can be done easily.

“It’s frustrating, Jeungmal!”

Puzzle!

Lidwi raised one hand. Blue stems burst out with sparks.

I’m going to go to the middle of the day!

Then he poured sparks on his arm.

“… … Phew, now, did you see it?”

“… … .”

The others were speechless and looked at Ridwi.

Surprisingly, the lead has become stable. This is evidence that the possession has gone away.

“Resisting possession is a battle between souls. Humans are, for the most part, unable to realize their own souls. “If you want to resist, you have to force yourself to wake up.”

“… … “By hurting yourself, you awaken your soul?”

“Draw. “When the consciousness of survival arises, you can sense the soul, even if only faintly.”

Ridwi clenched and unclenched his hands. I still felt numb and trembled slightly.

Ospreet narrowed his eyes.

Survival awareness must rise. In other words, that much damage must be inflicted. A little pain means nothing.

“Uh, uh… … !”

But there is no time. The other Zodiacs couldn’t say anything and were just moaning. They are not in a relaxed situation like Ridwi. Moreover, even Lidwi himself does not know when he will be possessed again.

“Os, Frit… … !”

Then Zodiac Daisy saw Ospreet. All she could do was say Ospreet’s name, but her eyes already said everything she wanted to say.

Daisy said with her eyes.

—Don’t act like you’re being nice for no reason, but act quickly, old man.

“… … “Umm.”

Ospreet became an ethereal face.

“Don’t worry too much.”

At that time, Aten approached.

“I will treat any wound you have.”

“The princess.”

Ospreet bows lightly and politely. He asked cautiously.

“If possible, to what extent?”

In response, Aten elegantly placed his hand to his chest and spoke.

“As long as I don’t die, somehow.”

“All right.”

Ospreet raised his hand. The same spark as the lead bloomed in that hand.

No, there was a flash of lightning that was even more terrifying than that.

“… … .”

Ridwi fell silent at that sight.

Before he could say anything, Ospreet had already stretched out his hand.

What Ridwi wanted to say was simple.

‘Isn’t that a bit excessive?’

I’m sorry!!!!

* * *

Situations like this didn’t just happen with Zodiac.

Those who received divine powers all experienced the same thing.

I couldn’t stop it all.

Some people have already been possessed, and others are still fighting. Or, they were subdued by their colleagues or fainted.

However, among them, there were also people who found themselves in very heterogeneous situations.

“Pielot… … .”

Agoris, inside Frontier’s room.

Everyone inside watched Pielot. Even Atlas’ friends like Gregory, Arald, and Basileo.

At first, Pielot suddenly screamed like the Zodiac in the imperial palace.

However, he instinctively knew what he had to do.

However, that action was a bit excessive.

He pulled out his sword and tried to cut himself.

Of course, I didn’t intend to cut her to a life-threatening degree, but it was obvious that there would be significant bleeding.

Just before the blade enters his body.

“… … “Are you asleep?”

Basileo looked at Pielot closely and asked:

“I guess so.”

Arald nodded in agreement.

Pielot knelt down on both knees, his drawn sword falling helplessly and his body sinking. On the other hand, the shoulders move gently and the breathing sounds are calm.

Gregory, who received information from Malia in the imperial palace, immediately learned of Pielot’s situation. I tried to possess God.

However, I couldn’t understand this situation where I suddenly fell asleep. No zodiac has ever been like this.

‘Pielot, what happened?’

Gregory looked at Pielot with a confused face. For him, who was already on the verge of exploding while exchanging information with the imperial palace, Pielot’s sudden change was too much to handle.

‘Is it happening? Pielot?’

Everyone’s worries and anxiety were slowly growing.

“… … “This place.”

Pielot is standing in a dark room.

He looked at his hands. I looked at my palm, then turned it over and looked at the back of my hand.

“It’s a dream.”

Pielot knew right away.

Pielot recently had a strange dream due to the influence of mana absorbed from the Demon World. To him, dreams were a phenomenon that was easier to recognize than others.

Of course, the biggest reason for that feeling is,

[…] … Pielot von Libanze.]

It’s because of his god, ‘Hypnos’.

Hypnos, god of sleep. He dragged Pielot into this dream.

“Hypnos.”

Pielot looked at Hypnos with low eyes.

In fact, this was my first time seeing Hypnos in its entirety. I always heard only voices.

Hypnos was much older than he thought. Can God get old? That thought crossed my mind, but Hypnos looked like he was really old and had difficulty moving.

“What is it this time, Hypnos?”

Pielot looked at Hypnos with an expression of disgust.

The last time he fought a demon, when he faced a swarm of demons that looked like dark clouds, he thought he had completely ignored Hypnos.

He made many remarks that were difficult to think of as dealing with God. It’s easy for Hypnos to get tired of Pielot.

“Are you planning on taking over my body this time?”

[…] … Yes.]

Hypnos answered.

From Pielot’s perspective, that single word was already like a declaration of war, so he took a stance.

‘… … If I kill this guy in my dream, will I actually die?’

No, that can’t be true.

But it should be enough to resist possession.

If Hypnos came directly into the dream, the impact of being cut would not be completely gone.

Whether he can defeat Hypnos is a question for later.

[Pielot.]

At that time, Hypnos held out a hand.

[I will possess your body. and then,]

Kuuk

Pielot took a stance with his feet. Even in the dream, there was a sword at his waist. I don’t know if it was there originally, or if it came into existence because I thought he was there.

[Let’s run away.]

“… … Oh, what?”

Pielot’s posture was slightly awkward at the unexpected words.

What are you talking about with such a serious face?

[If I become possessed by you, I will immediately leave this battlefield. Go to a place no one will ever find, and in just a few years, the world will return to its original state.]

Pielot blinked.

Hypnos’ words were absurd, but looking at his expression, they seemed to be sincere.

“her.”

Eventually, Pielot relaxed his stance. He scratched his head.

“I’ve been really curious about this for a long time. In the past, I thought all spiritual powers were the same as you. But it turns out that you are worse than other gods. “You help me so much.”

No other god is as sincere as Hypnos.

The relationship between Rudra and Elodie, in which God appears directly and communicates, is only a method of communication, and does not move as much as Hypnos.

Hypnos worked for Pielot in the past, even going so far as to steal Frondier’s necklace.

In the end, Pielot asked a question he had wanted to ask for a long time.

“What do you want from me?”

[…] … .]

“What on earth do you want, to say that you will save me even after coming to this situation?”

Of course, Pielot has no intention of listening to Hypnos.

Hypnos probably knows too.

Even if Pielot returns after everything is over, there will be nothing left.

The world after God wins. Pielot isn’t curious about any of that.

[…] … Pielot. For now, just follow my lead,]

“You can live?”

[…] … .]

“Whatever that is. ‘You don’t really believe that will work now, do you?’

Pielot’s unwavering eyes. Hypnos sighed at that. The sigh that came out of the old man’s mouth was withering, as if he was sighing out his short remaining lifespan.

[Pielot, I have an older brother.]

“… … Oh yeah. Thanatos. “The god who killed Atjie.”

Pielot’s eyes sank.

Thanatos and Hypsone are twin brothers.

In fact, just because of that, Pielot’s favor towards Hypnos dropped to the lowest level.

Saying that we are just brothers and have no relationship is easier said than done, but at least we should have been able to tell in advance.

[I and Thanatos are very close to human destiny. Because that’s the role.]

One side is sleep, the other side is death.

Although Thanatos, which deals with death in this way, seems much more powerful, Hypnos’ sleep can produce results no different from death.

Rather, ‘sleep from which one never wakes up’ is sometimes worse than death.

[So we are one of the few gods who encounter Moirai. That’s why Thanatos was able to target Ajie.]

“What a useless boast. So what should I do?”

[The three goddesses of fate knew this day would come.]

“… … “On this day.”

[I mean Ragnarok.]

At those words, Pielot fell silent for a moment.

okay. Maybe so. After all, they are the three goddesses of fate, so they could possibly foresee an event of this magnitude.

“Whatever it is, Moirai took action in advance… … .”

[Only you.]

“… … her?”

[Moirai prophesied. The humans who will survive after Ragnarok.]

Hypnos looked at Pielot with sad eyes.

Pielot believes that even that face is just acting,

Even if you don’t like the voice, it’s heard.

[You are the only survivor, Pielot.]
