The Academy’s Weapon Replicator
chapter-231-2

“And in front of him, several humans...”

“……!”

When I opened my eyes wide at the monster’s next words...

Rumble, rumble-

A tremor came from the underground of the Imperial Palace. The movement, almost like an earthquake, instantly raised the tension.

And then, the foul smell and bloodlust that I felt immediately. The unique mana that my ‘sixth sense’ conveyed.

‘Demons?’

I realized it right away and looked down at my feet.

The one who summoned the demons right now wouldn't know, but this gave me a huge hint.

When the beings from another world first appeared, my thoughts were simple.

─How on earth?

Probably most people would have thought the same.

I couldn't help but think that something connecting the other world and this one had been activated. Whether it was a gate, a portal, or some kind of magic or mystery that I didn't know about yet.

And just now, demons rising from the underground of the Imperial Palace.

I looked at Philly. Philly was already looking at me.

What was in this underground was obvious.

‘Dragon Heart.’

Did they use that to summon the demons?

Swish, swish, swish!

In an instant, countless demons flew past the window at high speed.

Black figures filled the once quiet outside of the palace, passing through the sky like waves.

“Found it!”

One of them, no, should I say one, stopped passing the window and looked at us and shouted.

I was surprised by that sight.

“You guys, you speak human language.”

Of course, the sound didn't reach him.

“Here it is! That’s him!”

“The two have already met! Drop it!”

“Drop it! Drop it!”

Soon, the number of demons looking at us from beyond the palace windows increased rapidly.

The black clouds that had been pouring down like waves stopped for a moment. Their blade-like gazes were fixed on me.

“Drop it! Drop it!”

“Dropping it is difficult! Kill him! Kill him!”

“Killing is easy!”

“Kill him! Kill him!”

The demons’ words were becoming increasingly harsh. As expected of demons. As expected of demons of wrath.

I grinned in satisfaction.

“I have to fulfill my duty.”

“...I understand. I believe you won't do anything reckless. Because it’s you.”

Philly said that and left with the knights.

I looked at the monster next to me.

“They seem to really dislike the fact that you and I are together.”

“Ugh...?”

The monster tilted its head as if it didn't understand.

Of course, it was natural. I still didn't know why they didn't want this guy and me to meet.

So until I knew, this guy would have to stay by my side.

“Come on, take my hand.”

“……?”

The monster took my hand without any suspicion. Like the automatic reflex of a trained dog.

To fully reward that trust...

Squeeze─

I grabbed his hand tightly,

“Ugh, uwaaaah?!”

And threw him towards the window.

Weaving, Obsidian.

Imperial Palace Armory

Rank - Rare

Spear, 10 copies of the same type

I shot spears in the direction I threw the monster, shattering all the walls. Through the gap, the monster flew high into the sky. I had poured in a considerable amount of my aura, so he soared well into the sky.

“?!”

“He, he fell! He fell before we could drop him!”

“Catch the flying one! Retrieve him!”

The demons panicked and flew towards the Metamorph. Their flight speed was quite fast.

It was partly because they had wings, but there was probably a principle similar to the ‘flight’ that humans used.

However, I was faster.

I reached out my hand. I engraved the weaving of the workshop in the direction the Metamorph was flying. However, that weaving was just weaving, so it was still just an illusion.

Normally, to put something into the workshop, the order was to create it first and then open the entrance to let it in.

Whether it was Menosorpo or Obsidian, once created, they would have physical force. Things within the range of the workshop would be pushed out.

But just for this time...

The workshop would be born while engulfing the Metamorph.

Menosorpo

Expansion Open

My rune, which was currently in Bartello's bedroom, expanded in an instant.

To the size that Menosorpo was originally supposed to have. That size filled and overflowed the entire Imperial Palace.

The spreading Menosorpo. The illusory workshop that had already taken the Metamorph inside.

Reaching the range of Menosorpo, the workshop spread along with the rune, turning the illusion into reality.

Void Weaving

Workshop

Net

The workshop, completed from a part to the whole, held the Metamorph inside and,

Kaboom!

Crashed to the ground.

“Kyaaaak!”

“Kraak!”

Several demons who couldn't avoid the speed of the fall were crushed on the ground and screamed.

“Wh, what is that!”

“Destroy that! Get the test subject out of there!”

While they were frantically attacking the workshop, I went outside the Imperial Palace.

With Menosorpo already activated, flying through the air was easy.

“You guys can’t do it with your strength.”

The workshop was my concept.

A ‘Transcendental’ grade reward materialized in reality.

It wasn't a Transcendental that could be broken by those guys.

“He’s out! Kill him! If you kill him, that strange building will disappear too...”

Stab

I pierced the mouth of the one who was carelessly chattering with a spear.

Hmm, the weapon I just used was of ‘Unique’ grade, but it pierced through with this much.

“You’re right.”

The black swarm filled the sky. They almost looked like a flock of bats.

And unfortunately for them, my abilities were still optimized for ‘multiple’ opponents. I was more afraid of a powerful individual than a number called an army.

“Actually...”

That’s why...

I was feeling a bit cheerful right now.

“I haven’t used my full strength since then.”

After retrieving the fragments of Helheim...

I hadn’t used my full strength.

Not even for skill tests, and even when dealing with Eden, I only used traps and situations.

“So I’m quite looking forward to it.”

“What, what incomprehensible things are you...”

Slash-

I first cut down the ones who were running their mouths off carelessly.

Of course, it wasn't a story they could understand, but...

“His Majesty ordered me to ‘beat them to death.’”

Of course, that order wasn't directed at them, but...

“So.”

Menosorpo

Void Weaving, Simultaneous replication

Imperial Palace Armory

Full Open

I lined up tens of thousands of weapons and aimed them at each of their heads.

“I can’t just kill you.”
