The Academy’s Weapon Replicator

A chilling murderous intent emanated from Aster’s sword.

Despite having it right before his eyes, Frondier remained still.

At that moment, Selena had all eight needles loaded in her hands.

‘…No.’

However, Selena couldn’t move.

She had witnessed Aster’s ‘One Flash’ with her own eyes.

At this distance, Aster’s speed was faster than the time it would take for her to shoot the needles. Even her maximum firing speed couldn’t keep up with Aster.

‘If that’s the case, then I should use Shadow Transition to get in front of Lord Frondier…!’

Just as Selena was about to move, she met Frondier’s eyes.

─Don’t come.

‘Ugh…!’

Of course, Selena already knew that Frondier would say that.

He was the one who didn’t bring his escort on this operation because it was dangerous. He would never allow her to take the One Flash for him.

“Frondier, change your mind. Using devils is a dangerous decision.”

Aster spoke to Frondier during that time.

Aster had already taken a stance for the interrupting move. And at this moment, when Selena herself judged it to be too late, there was no one who could stop him first. S~eaʀᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Aster, stop.”

However, even if she couldn’t stop him beforehand, there was someone who could warn him.

“If you use that, I will never forgive you.”

Elodie spoke to Aster with the eyes of ‘Inies’.

That warning was closer to a fact than a heartfelt plea.

If someone harmed Frondier, Elodie would never forgive them. Even if it was Aster, the so-called hope of the Empire.

“It will all end if Frondier gives up on his absurd idea.”

Aster said.

Frondier gave a bitter smile at that.

“That’s impossible, Aster. My thoughts won’t change. Among humans, there are some who are worse than devils. You should know that, Aster.”

“…It’s not like I’m putting devils at risk without any thought, Frondier. Devils are more familiar with aura than humans. Why do you think that is? It’s because they are much more instinctive than humans.”

Devils are closer to ‘Ma’ than humans. Therefore, their innate expression of aura is closer to a racial characteristic than a talent.

That’s why they are more instinctive, and to put it more simply, they live in the wild.

“Devils are a people who live as they please. They don’t control their impulses. Are there humans worse than devils? All devils are like that. Both humans and devils can have evil intentions. However, it is humans who restrain and control them, who think of society.”

Aster’s calm words.

Frondier found it difficult to refute them.

‘Because right now, devils have ‘desires’. That’s why they’re out of place in human society.’

As Frondier predicted, the Demon Realm was probably a hierarchical society based on the principle of strength.

The strong rule from above, and the weak obey. Without that strict discipline, there would be no way to control the devils’ impulsive desires.

“Aster, I’ve talked a lot with the devils here. They’re trustworthy guys. Just as I tried to save humans, I will also save devils if necessary.”

“…I won’t let that happen.”

The aura that Aster was emitting slowly disappeared.

That didn’t mean that Aster was going to stop fighting. Rather, the opposite.

Aster’s aura was being completely condensed and contained.

“I have to stop you.”

Frondier looked into Aster’s eyes. And he understood his intention. A lonely smile spread across Frondier’s lips.

“That’s just like you, Aster.”

As if that was the signal.

Tat!

Aster’s figure moved at high speed. The sword raised upwards dashed in a straight line, reaching right before Frondier’s eyes.

One Flash, a trajectory that no one could follow with their eyes, from top to bottom,

Cheok!

It cut Frondier’s hair and stopped right before his forehead.

“…….”

“…….”

Frondier didn’t move a muscle until Aster’s One Flash began and the blade reached his eyes.

Dier saw it with his own eyes.

‘…Even the Obsidian didn’t move.’

Dier was certain.

Frondier had no intention of blocking it at all. Because he knew that Aster wouldn’t really cut him.

‘Could I do that?’

Dier also believed that Aster wouldn’t truly attack Frondier.

However, it wasn’t a completely impossible probability.

No matter how small the probability, people want to avoid risks as much as possible. Especially when their own life is at stake.

‘I probably wouldn’t create this situation.’

Dier felt it at this moment. The difference between Frondier and his way of thinking.

He was slowly realizing what Elodie meant when she said, ‘That’s not the path a person should take’.

Drip-

At that moment, blood flowed from Frondier’s forehead.

Although Aster’s sword had stopped midway, it had slightly cut him due to the influence of the aura.

Aster said.

“…I really don’t like you, Frondier.”

“I’m sorry.”

Aster withdrew his sword.

Frondier, who seemed to have read all of his thoughts, and Aster, who couldn’t change those thoughts even though he knew it.

In the end, Aster couldn’t stop Frondier. Not unless he was truly prepared to kill him.

Aster bit his lip as he looked at Frondier. His face was devastated.

“Go, Frondier. I can’t stop you, and I can’t help you either. I promise not to interfere with the devils here.”

“…Alright, thank you.”

Frondier turned around and walked away.

Since Aster had no reason to attack these demons anymore, his mission here was complete. He had something else to do first.

“Wait, Frondier!”

Sybil shouted at his unwavering stride.

However, Frondier created a portal and went through it without giving them a chance to stop him.

It was surprising that Frondier could use a portal, but the others couldn’t hide their disappointment at his sudden disappearance.

“…Why?”
