Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Chapter 152: Balance (4)

The gods soon appear beyond Tavern’s walls.

When Zodiac and the powerful learned of this, especially those capable of flight magic, they headed to Tavern first.

Ospreet and Elodie are at the forefront. The overwhelming speed of the two continued to move forward, increasing the distance between them and those coming from behind.

“Elodie.”

As he flew, Ospreet spoke to Elodie.

“I heard it’s possible to combine four elements?”

Elodie was briefly surprised by that. He immediately shook his head and answered.

“Oh, no. “I just followed my intuition, I’ve never actually tried it.”

“Intuition is important to a wizard.”

Ospreet laughed softly.

But he soon said this as well.

“But Elodie, be careful.”

“What?”

“The combination of the four elements goes beyond the realm of great magic.”

The properties of four element combinations are different from those of great magic.

Great magic is the ultimate form of magic. There are very few people who can do it, but it is not non-existent, and Ospreet is one of them.

However, even Ospreet himself does not fully understand this. Magic is ultimately about intuition. Things that fall into the realm of great magic are even further removed from human understanding.

For him to disappear from the world for a while, or for Frontier to establish his workshop in reality.

Although it all actually happened. As if even the parties involved did not fully understand.

However, the combination of four elements is different.

No one has yet succeeded in combining four elements, but the theory itself is perfect.

It has already been proven that it is possible, all that remains is who will do it first. However, no one has done it yet.

That’s why Ospreet said.

“Elodie. “The combination of four elements is a magic that a wizard may be able to perform only once in his life.”

“Just once?”

“okay. From the theory so far, we know that a combination of four elements requires another element, unlike the combination of elements below it.”

“Another factor?”

Elodie’s ears perked up at that.

This is information about the combination of four elements. worthy of increasing the success rate. Of course, you can’t help but listen.

However, what came out was unexpected.

“It’s a coincidence.”

“… … yes? Accident?”

“okay. The more elements are combined, the more unstable they become. You probably already know. You must have felt it while combining two and three elements, right? “The more the elements are combined, the bigger the crack becomes.”

Elodie nodded.

Elemental combinations cannot be maintained on their own in the first place. Because you are forcing two things that do not mix together in the first place. However, from the battle mage’s perspective, that is not an important issue. As long as magic is possible, that’s it.

Because I have no intention of creating a new element. Magic is a phenomenon, not a substance. The better you understand it, the faster you will realize element combinations.

“That’s why you were able to combine the three elements. “Because you are better at ‘high-speed casting’ than anyone else.”

“… … that’s right.”

In fact, just combining the three elements is considered a graduation in Constel. The reason why Elodie visited Constel’s president when she thought it was possible for her to become a member – at the time the president was Jane – was because she knew that if she succeeded, she would never be able to stay at Constel.

“When you have combined the three elements so far, you have succeeded in constructing them with magic before the unstable elements are disturbed. “Because your casting was faster than that.”

Of course, other than that, the difficulty of the Three Elements in terms of theory and operation is unrivaled, but in the end, that is the point. Can all the difficult difficulties be completed within a short period of time by combining the three elements? Elodie could do it. Because her talent lies in ‘high-speed casting’, which is faster than anyone else’s.

“But you can’t do that. No matter what you do, the time that that elemental combination is maintained is shorter than that of a spell. “No matter how fast your high-speed casting becomes, there is a fundamental difference that cannot be surpassed.”

“… … understand. But what does ‘coincidence’ mean?”

Ospreet grinned there. He lowered his voice as if he was telling a secret.

“Actually. I also tried combining four elements. “Even though I failed.”

“… … “The president was like that too.”

“So, I found out that the length of time the element combination is maintained is different each time. But it wasn’t my manipulation. “The surrounding mana, the density and flow of air, everything was changing that time.”

After hearing those words, Elodie looked at Ospreet.

“… … In other words, are you saying that combinations of four elements are affected even in areas that I cannot interfere with? So, ‘coincidence’ is necessary?”

“yes. Of course, even if all the conditions were met, my casting time was limited.”

After several iterations, Ospreet discovered that the retention time of four element combinations was different each time, and that the range was larger than expected.

However, even within the longest maintenance period he has ever had, he was unable to complete the casting within it.

But if it’s Elodie.

If Elodie had been there at that time during the longest maintenance time in all of Ospreet’s countless attempts.

“Elodie. What is your analogy? “What comes to mind when you manifest magic?”

“… … It is ‘space’. “I draw a continuous image in which the star rotates on its own and moves forward, forming a single shape.”

Ospreet’s eyes widened for a moment at Elodie’s words.

He asked again.

“Then the universe will stop after you finish the magic?”

“no. The stars keep spinning. A satellite is a planet, and a planet is a star. “It never stops.”

Ospreet kept his mouth shut.

Elodie looked at Ospreet with a puzzled look at the sudden silence.

“Why are you doing this? “Is there something strange about my analogy?”

“No, I guess not.”

Ospreet shook his head.

“If it’s you, I really think you might be able to succeed at Four Elements magic.”

Elodie puffed out her cheeks, probably thinking that was a formal compliment.

“If it’s magic that requires a coincidence that may or may not come in my lifetime, I can’t even practice it. “How do you succeed at something like that?”

“Combinations of four elements are not something you can create through practice.”

Ospreet said.

Even though he himself was not successful, he seemed to know for sure.

“One day, when you really do it, you will realize it yourself.”

It is clear where Aster needs to go.

This is the Parthenon Temple.

Mystiltein sleeps in the basement, and Aster must obtain it.

Having Mystiltein has been Aster’s wish for a long time.

But things are a little different now.

-Aster, please go to the Parthenon. Mystiltein is there.

The person who told Aster those words was Frondier.

Now, it seems to be Frontier’s wish rather than Aster’s.

Aster holds Mystiltain in his hand.

‘I still don’t know what I’m looking at.’

Frontier’s actions were difficult for Aster to understand.

If it’s such a good weapon, shouldn’t you take it yourself? Even though I knew the location so accurately.

If it were now rather than in the past when power was lacking, it would have been fine to have taken it with you when you came to the Palind Continent after hearing the news from Atjie. Even if there was no panic at the time because of Ajie’s death, it would have been possible to take it with you when you go to rescue Ajie.

Frontier is trying to somehow give Mystiltein to Aster.

Now that he doesn’t have the divine power of Baldur, why bother giving that spear to him?

“Well, you’ll find out when you go.”

Aster muttered. He still has a strange faith in Frontier.

Aster came across the sea. In other words, the place where he runs is beyond the barrier, where the monsters outside live.

Whoa whoa-

As the name suggests, all kinds of vicious monsters attack him, but now he doesn’t know the subject.

Sigh!

Plop!

Aster ran while punching holes in everything that got in his way.

Surprisingly, it was much more comfortable than crossing the sea in one island.

‘It’s a good window, too.’

Aster was holding Enquesphalos firmly.

Ever since he learned about Eklexis, Encesphalus has been unable to shake his mind. So now Enquesphalus is no longer a dangerous spear, but a very useful weapon.

I thought it would go so easily.

“… … !”

Aster stopped in his tracks.

There is nothing before his eyes.

Instead, his keen sense of humor read something.

In fact, something that not only Aster could feel, was located far away to his right.

‘… … It’s far from here. but… … .’

It is completely different from the direction Aster is going. This is a place where you have to run for a long time even at Aster’s speed. Whatever it is, it won’t have anything to do with Aster.

Aster is in a hurry right now. You should not be distracted elsewhere.

However, the energy Aster felt was not one.

There is some huge conflict,

One of them is a smell that Aster has smelled before.

“… … “I must keep my promise.”

* * *

Trees fall like dominoes.

Coogung! thud!

“Ha ha ha ha ha!! God is on the run! From me! “It feels so good!”

Renzo was pushing through tree branches and dust, making the surroundings even more foggy.

The fight between Renzo and Tyr. They have already been out of the cave for a long time.

The cave cannot withstand the power of the two anyway, and it is not a space where they can fight freely.

“… … .”

Tyr stepped back, dodging Renzo’s attack with a stern face.

thud!

Quang!

Everywhere he avoided, a hole the size of a house was created in the ground, and the trees flew away as if weeding the blades of grass.

Renzo’s punches and kicks were now rained down on Tyr from a distance so far that it could not be called a ‘fight’.

‘What on earth is that?’

Tyr didn’t understand Renzo’s attack.

At first I thought it was an illusion. When Renzo grabbed something out of the air with his bare hand, Tyr inadvertently dodged it and thought it was an Auror.

But now Renzo is clearly attacking Tyr with something different.

‘It really seems like it’s holding the air. What kind of harmony is that?’

It’s not strange that humans use wind. There are such magic, such tools, such weapons.

But grabbing the air with your bare hands? That is incomprehensible.

“Hey!”

Whoop-!

This time with a kick.

Renzo’s senseless kick swings through the air. From that movement that seemed like a mistake, something that looked like a huge whip struck Tyr.

Quaaang!

Such a huge range. Tyr, who has no space to avoid, puts both arms forward to block.

Joowoouk, Tyr was pushed by pressure and his feet drew a long line on the floor.

That alone hurts my pride, and the pain that comes over my arm is quite severe.

‘It’s not just the wind. It’s a direct hit to my body.’

There was no way he would feel this much pain from simple wind pressure.

However, it is not an Auror. Much less mana.

There’s only one thing left.

‘… … Eclexis?’

However, I don’t understand it.

‘That crazy battle fanatic recognizes his own soul?’

Moreover, it deals too much direct damage to be called Eclexis.

Eclexis is the power of the soul. Therefore, it is the soul that attacks, not the body.

Tyr’s molars tightened.

‘After all, it was Ares’s doing. He said he didn’t give me his strength, and then he taunted me with lies that didn’t work.’

His strength swells.

Divine power is also ecclexis. By itself, when it attacks others, it attacks the soul, but the divine power can make the chosen target stronger. Just as Baldur gives strength to Aster.

Same goes for Renzo. Ares gives strength. Their conversation was all a bluff.

“Then I’ll kill them both at once!”

Tyr leaped towards Renzo. The movement that was consistent with defense was changed.

“oh… … !”

Renzo was intoxicated by the attack and had not yet adjusted his body to attack from a distance.

Quang!

“Ugh!”

He urgently raised his arm and blocked Tyr’s fist. The arm that was blocked is tingling.

The body stopped, and Tyr and Renzo faced each other at close range again.

This close combat was originally the distance where Renzo was strongest. However, Renzo is pushed aside by Tyr. They quickly went on the defensive and were busy blocking the attack.

That’s what I said, but in fact, it’s been a long time since Renzo. I’ve fought against stronger opponents than him. As Renzo became stronger, the number of people who could surpass him naturally decreased. It was a truly despairing reality for Renzo, who sought fun.

Recently, however, he is full of vitality due to the presence of Frontier, but in reality, Frontier is an opponent whose strength is difficult to measure. For Renzo, fighting Frontier feels like stirring up an unknown fog before his eyes, rather than an opponent stronger than him.

But Tyr is clearly a stronger opponent than him.

Renzo retreated, frantically defending himself.

In fact, Renzo could already sense that something was different at this time.

This means that unlike the previous battle where the defense was breached, the defense is now being protected.

‘Damn, I thought it was a pretty useful skill!’

Renzo grabbed the air a moment ago and threw it, kicked it, and pushed it with his hand. Suddenly, I had an intuition that something would happen. Just as he developed the skill of leaping through the air when fighting Frontier.

‘As expected, suddenly following along won’t work… … !’

huh?

wait.

Did I imitate someone?

“Wook!”

Whoop-

A moment’s thought. Taking advantage of the gap, Tyr’s right fist aimed for the side. Renzo hurriedly lifted his entire body and prepared for impact.

Quaaang!

“Keuuu!”

Renzo was hit by Tyr’s hook and flew far away. Fortunately, the entire body flew away, reducing the impact. Instead, he crashed into a tree, but it hurt less than just getting hit by Tyr’s fist.

“… … “Hehehe.”

But Renzo laughed.

Just a thought. Something came to mind with that.

“Yes, I did. “I am not original with this technique.”

It’s been a long time for Renzo.

Fighting against an opponent who is obviously stronger than that.

So, without realizing it, I remembered the long past, the past when I fought an opponent stronger than myself before Tyr.

In the past, when he faced a strong man who couldn’t even raise a hand or a foot.

Renzo was helpless and ran away with all his might. At that time, a fear that I had never experienced before in my life reared its head.

‘Ampere… … .’

Frontier’s father.

Ampere de Roach.

Renzo saw this skill in him.

‘At that time, I never thought I could steal this technology.’

Since I was able to imitate it only now, I can now truly feel how overwhelming the difference in skill was back then.

‘But this isn’t something you should do with your bare hands.’

The reason why I imitated it unconsciously but couldn’t remember it.

This technique is not performed with fists or feet.

It was done with a sword.

But now I can’t use Renzo’s sword, and it’s difficult to find another weapon now.

‘You can’t find something that isn’t there. First of all, even with bare hands… … .’

Let’s make it mine. In the first place, it doesn’t suit my temperament to copy everyone the same way.

When Renzo made up his mind.

Doo doo doo… … .

“… … ?”

From afar, I heard something running.

I wouldn’t know if I just heard the sound.

The aura felt from that direction was all too familiar to Renzo.

So Renzo turned his head.

With Tyr in front.

It was such a ridiculous behavior that even Tyr followed Renzo’s gaze.

I hear a voice.

“Ren~~~ Jo~~~!!!”

From far away.

A blond-haired man was approaching quickly, waving his arms vigorously.

Above the waving hand is a spear.

“I left this behind!”

“… … ok?”

Renzo looked at the spear Aster was holding.

Of course, this is a window you know.

And it is a window that I thought I would never encounter again.

What did he just say?

You left it behind?

You thought I left something behind?

Even if that were the case, would you come back to me with it?

[That window… … !]

At that time, Ares, who was watching the battle around Renzo, brightened his eyes.

To him, Aster is just a thorn in his eyes, but this is the only time in his life that he is happy to see him.

Ares shouted in an emotional voice,

[That’s my Enkes,]

“No need, dude!”

Renzo cut it and ate it.
