Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Chapter 3 Destiny Manipulation (6)

“Is there… … .”

Aster’s party looked straight ahead and stopped. There was a huge stone statue in front of them.

The stone statue looked like a woman as well as a man. He seemed to be smiling, and he seemed to be sad.

The statue’s eyes lit up, and a voice resounded as if emanating from within.

[Adventurer, good job.]

A dry tone.

[Tell me which God you believe in. I am the custodian of truth, and also the arbiter of the world. I will give you the glory to face God.]

“This is the sanctuary.”

Quinier said.

The inside of the dungeon suddenly lit up with the light of the sanctuary.

“You have to go, Aster. Because you are the only one who has the power here.”

Aster nodded and stepped forward.

[Tell the god you believe in.]

Beneath the stone statue looking down, Aster softly sang.

“Baldur.”

As Aster answered, the light of the statue grew brighter. It was so bright that when Aster covered his eyes with his hand, a human-like figure appeared after swallowing all the light.

Its shape was huge, and its body was transparent like a ghost, so you could see the other side. However, a sanctity that could not be compared with a ghost was exuded.

Baldur, the god of light, justice and purity.

With white hair and a face that seemed to have been carved out of beauty, he slowly opened his eyes.

Baldur sat down like a stone statue and looked at Aster.

[Aster Evans.]

Aster was surprised.

He probably didn’t know that Baldur would say his name in the first place.

“It is an honor to meet you, Baldur.”

[okay. I am honored too. To meet the hopes of mankind.]

“The hope of mankind?”

[okay. Are you also vaguely aware? your talent and strength. That is the weight it has to carry.]

Aster swallowed his saliva without realizing it.

The divine power that received the power of Baldur, the talents he possessed, and the human network.

Astor spent time at Constell, feeling what role he had to play.

However, it is a different story to hear directly about the hope of mankind. It is also from God.

[With the power of this sanctuary, we can’t talk for a long time. Astor Evans, what do you want?]

At Baldur’s words, Aster thought for a moment. But from the beginning, there was only one thing decided.

“I want power. The power to protect everyone, the power to drive out demons.”

At Aster’s words, Baldur nodded indifferently.

[It’s you, Aster.]

And a beam of light emanating from Baldur. It slowly gathered around Aster, and he felt that his divine power had improved incomparably to before.

[Aster Evans.]

While Aster was feeling the power that resided in him, Baldur said.

[Aster, beware the Frontier de Roach.]

From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

“Yeah, what-”

Before Aster’s words were even finished.

Baldur’s form gradually dispersed and became a beam of light on the stone statue.

Aster turned to look at Quinnier and Jane. They didn’t seem to understand either.

“… … uh?”

Jane looked around as if she sensed something strange.

There’s a problem.

Nothing has changed

“The dungeon attack didn’t work… … ?”

Arrived at the sanctuary, the destination of this dungeon, and met God.

The dungeon was not resolved.

Only when this dungeon returns to its original cave will Frontier and Cybel be safe.

“Uh, what should I do? Teacher?”

“Let’s go to the exit first. Arriving at the sanctuary means that the exit is near. First, let’s go to the dungeon and contact Constell and nearby agencies.”

“Yes!”

The three moved quickly.

* * *

I lost my strength and sat down. Mana exhaustion of this guy, I can’t get used to it anytime.

I get down on my knees and put my hands on the ground, but I’m still shaking. The whole body has convulsions.

“… … It’s not over yet.”

I clenched my teeth and stood up.

A fallen Cybel could be seen from afar.

It would be great if the poison from Cybel disappears when Slev dies, but such a game doesn’t happen.

Even now, the poison is slowly infiltrating Cybel’s body.

For reference, Slav’s dagger is stored in the ‘workshop’.

It’s a monster that raises the level of danger vertically with one weapon, so it would be useful.

I walked towards Cybel. Now I have to carry this girl out.

By now, Aster and his party should have arrived at the sanctuary. And you must be puzzled because the dungeon hasn’t been solved.

This dungeon is one of Etius’s unsolved dungeons.

Even if Aster meets God in the sanctuary, the dungeon remains the same.

Gamers tried several methods, but never solved the dungeon.

So I can’t expect this dungeon to turn into an ordinary cave.

Let’s go to sleep.

“Whoa.”

I took a deep breath and lifted my cybel.

… … terribly heavy

If it was Frontier’s body, it would be fine, but Cybel’s paralyzed body is completely droopy, and I’m out of mana.

Is this how you feel when you try to lift something with your exhausted and dehydrated body?

let’s go.

I tried to mumble, but I couldn’t even come out.

* * *

Cybel slowly opened her eyes.

It feels like floating in a gentle wave. But soon he realized he was on someone’s back.

‘… … Frontier.’

Cybel tried to call him, but no sound came out. There is no strength in the body. I can’t move a single finger.

still paralyzed.

‘… … Are you lucky to have opened your eyes?’

There was no physical discomfort.

Cybel was unaware of the seriousness of the poison she was poisoned with, so luckily she was able to calm down.

Looking at the sight reflected in his eyes, it seemed that he was not in the dungeon yet.

“… … Ugh… … Ugh… … .”

Frontier’s tired voice.

‘Looks hard.’

Frontier’s back was wider than expected.

hard muscles and bones.

I always looked weak and sluggish. A man is a man

“… … heavy.”

bad guy.

“Ugh, stones in your shoes.”

Frontier leaned heavily once and then regained his balance.

It seemed really difficult, so Cybel decided to come up with a good idea.

how long have you been walking

Frontier stopped.

I wondered if it was difficult, but I saw that the dungeon had become brighter.

This is not outside light. Holy energy, that materialized.

‘… … This is a sanctuary.’

Cybel felt it.

have ever heard Some dungeons have a sanctuary at their final destination.

A precious place where you can face the god you believe in and amplify its power.

‘This is the destination.’

the stone statue said.

[Adventurer, you did a great job. Say the god you believe in. I am the custodian of truth, and also the arbiter of the world. I will give you the glory to face God.]

‘The frontier would have no confidence.’

Still, if this place is a sanctuary, if you say any god, you will have a chance to meet. And if you’re really lucky, you might even get some divine power.

‘What kind of god is Frontier talking about?’

Cybel, curious for some reason, pricked up her ears.

“I.”

Frontier opened his mouth.

“I don’t believe in God.”

‘Eh?’

Cybel doubted her ears.

The statue just asked.

[What is the reason?]

The reason the stone statue is called the custodian of truth is that he can know the gods that humans believe in.

Therefore, it is meaningless to give the name of another god in front of a stone statue.

From the moment he saw Frontier, he knew that Frontier did not believe in any gods.

‘You don’t believe in God?’

Such a shocking word for Cybel.

In this world, most people do not receive divine power.

But it’s a completely different story from not believing in God. God exists, but does it make sense to not believe in God?

‘Then what did you say during the Mystyltain case?’

– I’ve never been afraid of anything like that.

That’s not pretentiousness or pretentiousness, is it because you don’t really believe in God?

“Because I believe in humans.”

‘… … !’

Those words landed in Cybel’s mind.

Every word Frontier said was layered on top of each other.

“I believe in the human will. I believe in the day they built up with all their might. There is no place for God to intervene.”

Those words are so dangerous that if anyone in the church heard it, they would be branded as heresy.

But to Cybel, those words were like a mighty wind. The wind that peels away the fates that surround her one by one.

“Everything today becomes tomorrow. I believe in this plain saying.”

Frontier’s words cut into Cybel’s heart like a blade.

… … did you?

did I too?

I felt ashamed of myself for no reason.

“I do not believe in God.”

Cybel who is loved by fate.

That love is like a cradle, so comfortable, so comfortable.

It seemed to lead her to the grave in a flash.

“Because I don’t believe in fate.”

Those last words became an eternal echo and remained in her mind.

* * *

I didn’t feel very well the whole time I answered.

It’s also due to mana depletion. It’s also because he’s carrying a cybel in the meantime.

Because this question and answer itself felt like a meaningless time.

A sanctuary that gives those with divine power a chance to face the gods.

It means nothing to me. It’s of no use to Aster.

[I do not believe in God, is there no lie in that statement?]

What the hell are you asking all the time? You know for sure that I don’t have confidence.

Is it that having no power and believing in God are two different things? It seems strange to say that we do not believe in God in a world where there is a God of course.

“I don’t believe it.”

[──Is that so?]

Then, suddenly, the stone statue lit up. The stone statue, where only the eyes were shining brightly, was soon engulfed in light.

It was the first sight I had even seen.

“What, what?”

And the light gathered in front of my eyes and showed me a certain picture. The picture, although I don’t know its identity, took the form of a magic circle.

My eyes naturally put the shape of the magic circle in the ‘workshop’.

Suddenly, all the light went out and the statue began to crack. It soon became a big crack.

Huge pieces fell to the ground.

“… … ?”

what is this Maybe I did something wrong?

The moment I thought of that, the atmosphere of the dungeon changed.

The strangely twisted stone patterns and trees found their original shape. Walls and floors returned to their original state.

The dungeon has now become an ordinary cave.

… … in other words,

attacked the dungeon.

“her?”

While playing the game, this kind of result never came out, nor could it be.

I glanced at the remains of the broken stone statue for a moment, bewildered.

‘Let’s get going.’

I hurried my steps again.

Cybel doesn’t have much time.

* * *

Shortly after leaving the dungeon, I met Aster and the others.

Cybel left it to Jane. She’ll be a much better teacher than me.

Jane and Queenie were relieved when I explained what they were doing.

Most of the monsters were killed by Cybel.

After I arrived at the dormitory.

[Professor Jane: Miss Cybel was admitted to the hospital. It will probably be okay in one day.]

A message came to my phone.

Quinnier and Jane asked me for the messenger address as if they wanted to.

There was also an appropriate justification to prevent a dangerous situation like this from happening again.

Of course, there was no reason to refuse.

[Queenie-senpai: If you have any problems with your body, be sure to tell them.]

[Aster: Thank you. It’s thanks to you that Cybel survived. Rest for a while.]

“You are kind too.”

But I can’t rest.

I immediately sat down at my desk. First, I checked the smartwatch.

[Dungeon Attack Reward]

– Completed the dungeon and the Sanctuary of Truth.

– You have acquired the magic circle of ‘Menosorpo’.

Right after the sanctuary was destroyed, a magic circle unfolded before my eyes. Apparently, his name was Menosorph.

But I don’t know how to use it. I myself have no knowledge of the magic circle, so all I know is the name of the magic circle.

“Is there any other way to activate it directly?”

I’ll try it myself later when I have time. Then you might know something.

“Next is this.”

I reached out to the frame containing the viscoelastic metal, black cloth.

Weaving (織造), Heukcheon (黑川).
