Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Chapter 152: Balance (6)

Four knights under Belphegor.

No one knows where they came from or what their origins were, except Belphegor and themselves. Even the Seven Deadly Sins had limited information about them.

We only remember that unique image because we occasionally bump into each other, but we have never exchanged a single word.

However, Satan knew one thing.

Those four knights are Belphegor’s strongest weapons,

This is the biggest reason why Lucifer recognized Belphegor.

“Mamon… … !”

Asmodeus checked behind him and was surprised.

Mamon was eaten by the mouth of a pile of corpses. And the pile of corpses came back as a horse, but Mammon’s body was not even a speck of dust.

Mammon is dead.

The Seven Deadly Sins are so meaningless.

Then Satan opened his mouth.

“The whole army.”

A command that only Satan, the current king of demons, can do.

“Stop those knights.”

All the demons of the Demon World, including the armies of the Seven Deadly Sins, gather under orders.

Darkness is encroaching on the earth. The four knights’ path narrows in an instant,

Quad deud deuk!

A horde of demons attacked the four knights.

Asmodeus said while looking at the scene.

“What are those knights? “How did you kill Mammon so easily?”

“It’s a simple reason.”

Lucifer said.

“Because their power surpasses the Seven Deadly Sins.”

“what… … ?”

Asmodeus asks in disbelief.

Satan added words as if to supplement them.

“Mamon was too careless just now. “If I had known the power, I would have taken a little more time.”

It took time.

In other words, I couldn’t expect anything more than wasting time, and Mamon would have died anyway.

Leviathan, another of the Seven Deadly Sins, asked.

“How is that possible? Those guys are Belphegor’s men! “No matter how powerful Belphegor is, he probably won’t be strong enough to overwhelm Mammon.”

“That’s the annoying thing about Belphegor.”

Lucifer said.

“He turns even those who are stronger than him into subordinates.”

“… … what?”

Asmodeus’ face contorted in displeasure.

Make someone stronger than you your subordinate.

It’s not impossible at all. I have actually seen it.

For example, something that often happens to humans.

But not to the devil.

To the devil, order is power. The strong rule over the weak, and the weak deal with those weaker than them. A relationship in which power is reversed cannot be established, and even if it exists, it will soon fall apart.

But does Belphegor have a stronger knight by his side? Is that even four?

“There is no time to talk anymore.”

Lucifer said.

“They got through the demons.”

“… … !”

As the saying goes.

Kwazik, kwazizik!

The first thing I saw was the face of a low-level devil.

Its head is pierced by the tip of the blade and burning. The pole connected to the end of the blade, the hand holding it burns with blue flame, and the same goes for the horse that has cleared the smoke.

The knight of the blue flame took the lead.

Puff poop!

Demons explode in the sky like firecrackers, and the blood pouring out sticks to other demons and melts them. Demons of blood and corpses are next.

On the ground, demons are tied together with bones and are swept away as the horse moves, losing their form. The Knight of Bones is next.

And as if disposing of the remaining demons, just by one horse passing by, the surrounding demons grab its neck and close their eyes. The Knight of Ashes and Soot is the last.

The four knights accelerate and chase after the Seven Deadly Sins, as if making up for the slight delay caused by the demons that attacked them.

Four knights chasing the flying Seven Deadly Sins on horseback. The distance is gradually decreasing.

“Those guys, really… … .”

Leviathan felt embarrassed and muttered.

That inaction has already reached the seven deadly sins.

Satan said.

“What they say is not true. Did you see it before? “You shouldn’t think of it as the speed of an ordinary horse.”

“What should I do? “I’ll catch up!”

“no. “At this rate, we’ll arrive first.”

Satan was still going, looking ahead. He didn’t seem interested in what was going on behind his back.

It seemed like he was foreseeing the entire situation up to this point.

“Moirai is dead. The world of salvation disappeared and the Bifrost opened. Clearly in front of this… … .”

Talking Satan.

The four chasing knights are clearly closing the distance, but the Seven Deadly Sins are arriving faster than that.

Satan’s guess was correct.

However.

“Howdy.”

As Satan continues to look ahead, someone appears in front of him as if to show off.

“Where are you going? Satan.”

“… … !”

Satan’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Belphegor!”

“!”

All Seven Deadly Sins, stop flying and look ahead.

In front of him was Belphegor.

“How did you get here?”

Asmodeus shouted.

The Seven Deadly Sins were all confused.

At that moment, Satan’s head rotates rapidly.

‘Belphegor definitely crossed Yggdrasil with Frondier. Astaroth would have blocked it there. Could it be that Astaroth betrayed him? No, if you do something like that, I’ll catch you right away. What if you didn’t cross Yggdrasil from the beginning? No. Frontier went straight to the next world. It was sent by Belphegor. But if that happens, no matter how much Belphegor he is, there is no way he can reach this point at this speed. They’re blocking our path as we continue to fly in the opposite direction!’

Satan’s mind made accurate judgments and moved forward. By assuming arbitrary variables and eliminating the impossible, thinking moved in the right direction.

No matter what method is used, it is impossible for Belphegor to outsmart them.

then,

Hiss!

Satan stretched out his finger, and a black arrow came out of that finger and pierced Belphegor.

Push!

Belphegor’s chest was pierced. But he didn’t scream at all,

“After all, it’s Satan. “You figure it out right away.”

Belphegor’s skin soon melted away.

What was left behind was just a floating corpse.

Asmodeus opened his eyes wide.

“Possession!”

“How dare you play such a stupid prank!”

The body slowly collapsed. Belphegor spoke as if it were his last words.

“Well, I thought it would be caught soon. But—”

Just a few seconds is enough.

Boom─

“… … oh!”

The Seven Deadly Sins that I realize and look back on.

in front of it.

Heehee!

The four horses raised their hooves high.

Stepping on its head, the four knights soared into the air.

Halberd, Glaive, Warside, Birdish Shoe.

Each weapon was slightly different, but they were fundamentally the same.

It’s a long pole.

Whick!

The knight swung his long weapon at each of the Seven Deadly Sins.

There were no standards.

If there is one, go towards the closest one.

Quang! Wow!!

Asmodeus, Leviathan, Satan, and Lucifer blocked their respective attacks.

“Ugh, these guys… … !”

As the Seven Deadly Sins competed with each other, they finally realized that the power of the Four Knights was not inferior to theirs in the slightest.

There is only one remaining seven deadly sins.

Beelzebub.

“Ugh, these guys… … !”

Beelzebub pondered for a moment whether to support one of them or ignore them and head to Bifrost.

However, the decision was made quickly.

Head to Bifrost. To the devil, individual lives are not important. That’s the same even if it’s the Seven Deadly Sins. What is important for the Seven Deadly Sins is the system. It’s not about who sits there.

Beelzebub turns and goes forward. Toward the Bifrost. Through there we go to the human world. The alliance with Zeus is maintained, and the gods probably don’t want the devil to die completely. If you aim for that balance,

Boom─

However, at that time, Beelzebub suddenly felt the impact of a flying blow to his side.

His body moves away from his destination in an instant.

Someone crashes into Beelzebub from the right and flies away endlessly.

Beelzebub turned his eyes to see the opponent who was catching him and flying away.

The moment I saw him, I felt angry.

“Bael… … !!”

“Howdy.”

And Bael also had the same look in his eyes.

“Did you miss me? “You son of a b*tch.”

* * *

A gate remains in the human world.

The gate through which Astaroth sent the demons before the incident in Palma.

Originally, this gate was discovered by Frondier after hearing information from Furfur, one of the 72 demons, and was left behind to send the 72 demons back to the demon world.

Satan and the Seven Deadly Sins are hostile to the 72 devils. So, for now, we did not send the 72 demons. They still remained in Edrium and instead became Frondier’s subordinates.

However, the gate still remains. To send the 72 demons back someday.

“Bael.”

When Frontier and his companions were in Edrium.

Frondier spoke to Bael while everyone was taking a break.

“If I cross the gate someday, I want you to be the first.”

“… … I am now your subordinate. “You just have to give orders.”

Bael’s tone was still harsh, but it was clear that he was a subordinate of Frondier.

But Frontier shook his head.

“I can’t do that. “This is not a matter for me to order.”

“What do you mean?”

“What I am saying is that I cannot judge when you will use the gate to cross over to the demon world.”

At this time, Frondier had never been to the Demon World.

So, we don’t know how the Demon World originally came into existence or what its current situation is.

But Bael is different.

“Do you feel a connection to Beelzebub?”

“… … !”

“You two together are Baal.”

“But, it’s not like you can take it apart and put it back together like that.”

“I know. “I don’t even know why there are two in the first place.”

Frondier shrugged his shoulders.

“I will kill Satan.”

“… … !”

“I don’t know about the other seven deadly sins. It’s never really bothered me. Still, if they get in the way of killing Satan, I will kill them too.”

Saying so, Frondier pointed his finger at Bael.

He laughed.

“But Beelzebub. “Let’s leave him alone.”

“… … !”

“You have a grudge against that guy.”

“… … Frontier. I am weak now. I can no longer kill Beelzebub in my own strength. “As the connection with the demon world has been lost for a long time, my power is gradually disappearing.”

Bael felt humiliated as he spoke.

Although this is what Beelzebub said with disdain, it is an undeniable fact.

Bael was weakening. In fact, not only that, but all 72 demons were gradually weakening, but Bael was especially weak. Because the body that was originally supposed to be Baal fell away.

“okay? Is that still the case now?”

“of course. Even now… … .”

Bael said that and looked at his hands.

“… … uh?”

But it wasn’t.

Bael felt that his power was being lost when he concentrated.

But the disappearance stopped. rather,

“… … “I’m gaining strength!”

Bael looked at Frondier in surprise.

Frontier said:

“As you said, you have now lost your connection with the demon world. The same goes for the other 72 demons. however.”

I also found out about Bael there.

What has changed now?

“You are my subordinate now.”

“The flow of mana is linked… … !”

“okay. “I can make up for what you lack.”

Frondier stood up and approached Bael.

“I don’t give mana to every demon I deal with. “That’s dangerous.”

“Are you worried about mana loss?”

“No, not me, the devils are the danger.”

“… … ?”

Bael I don’t understand. Frontier explained there.

“I have the mana of two worlds. One is the human world and the other is Helheim.”

“Helheim… … !”

“If you want to kill Beelzebub, my human world’s mana is not enough.”

“Then you need Helheim’s mana!”

“okay. but… … . “It’s going to hurt quite a bit.”

It has been a long time since Bael stayed in the human world.

During that time, as I gradually became accustomed to the human world, there were no special side effects when absorbing that mana.

This is a trait that only 72 demons have among many demons. It adapts to both the mana of the human world and the mana of the demon world.

So Frontier thought.

Wouldn’t a being that has adapted to one other world be able to adapt to the mana of the next world?

“What do you think, Bael? “Can you hold on?”

“Oh, of course! “If only I could devour Beelzebub and return to Baal!”

Frondier tugged at the corners of his mouth.

It seemed like he was smiling, and it also seemed like he was sorry.

“… … okay. “Then just hold on for this one time.”

Don’t die.
