Academy’s Weapon Replicator Chapter 461
Chapter 128: Finding the Devil (2)
The three demons looked at Frondia with pale faces.
But soon, their faces are filled with pretentious smiles.
“Ha, even if we knew that, do you think we would say one more word?”
“Yes, I’d rather kill you!”
“No matter how much pain you cause, you can’t make us open our mouths!”
The corners of his mouth were smiling, but his eyes were filled with determination.
They probably expected that they would die.
To the devil, individual survival is not a matter of importance. The satisfaction of desires, the absoluteness of obedience, and the preservation of the entire species are much higher priorities.
Frontier also knows. Over the past few months, I have faced the devil several times and learned something.
So he laughed too.
“I know. “That you guys won’t reveal.”
“gibberish! “If we tried to bypass the words like that,”
“And you guys have already said enough.”
“… … what?”
Frondier put his hand into his arms. Then he said:
“Anyway, there is someone above. I’m satisfied with the acknowledgement of that.”
While saying that, what I took out was a triangular ring crystal that glowed blue.
Of course, the demons had no idea what they were.
Of course, even after Frondia swallowed it, it was impossible to know its identity.
“… … omg!”
Watching Frondia’s mana explode in unparalleled proportions, I could only tell that it was an extraordinary item.
“This consumes a lot of mana, so I don’t use it when I’m anticipating a battle situation or when I think a decision will be needed.”
Frondior’s eyes sparkled. His overflowing mana seemed to be contained in his eyes.
“It’s probably okay now.”
analyze.
Target, devil.
Start analysis.
Frontier used the skill ‘Analysis’.
In fact, the analysis skill itself does not consume that much mana. If you want to understand basic information.
However, the more the target refuses to reveal information, the more mana is consumed. Additionally, if the target level is high, the analysis time itself becomes longer.
When I tried to analyze the weaving skill itself, it took a whole day, and when I used it on Elin in the past, even when I wove and swallowed the dragon heart, only one line was revealed.
However, the crystal I swallowed this time is not a fake, but a real one that combines Frondia’s mana, and it is not a very high-level entity.
thus,
[Analysis completed.]
[Target, demon ‘Faride’]
[Available for viewing.]
The analysis was completed in an instant,
[Paridae]
-A devil who serves the devil ‘Astaroth’. However, he is of low rank and I have never actually seen his face.
-Currently, I have been given the task of investigating the capabilities of ‘Frontier de Roach’.
-There is a self-destruct device implanted in the body. It activates when you say the word ‘Astaroth’, but you are not aware of it.
“… … .”
Frontier tilted his head as the information he received was so unexpected and different from what he had initially expected.
‘Astaroth… … .’
Frontier has been acquiring a lot of information and knowledge recently. For a moment, he was confused as to whether the name ‘Astaroth’ was newly acquired knowledge or information he knew from a previous world.
Still, I figured it out right away.
‘Astaroth… … Yes, one of the 72 demons. He was originally quite famous in the world.’
But that was the extent of the knowledge that Frondia originally knew.
In the game ‘Etius’, devils did not originally appear, and naturally, the 72 devils were nothing more than something Frontier happened to be interested in.
Among them, Astaroth is the only one I remember because he is famous.
Just one thing.
‘… … Isn’t that the guy who originally swapped sloth’s place with Belphegor?’
In the previous world, demons were nothing more than oral tradition and records. They did not actually exist.
Therefore, it is ambiguous and unclear who is in charge of what, what abilities they have, and what ranks they have.
This is also the case with the Seven Deadly Sins, where Lilith, not Asmodeus, is in the place of lust.
However, demons exist in this world. Therefore, such uncertainty cannot exist. Since Belphegor is in the place of Sloth, Astaroth cannot be in that place.
That was certainly the case until Frondeer defeated Belphegor.
‘Belphegor is like that. He said he would come down from his position of sloth and fall. and,’
─The demon whose authority has fallen steps down and another demon takes the place of ‘Sloth’. This maintains the Seven Sins.
The seven sins remain.
In other words, another devil would definitely have sat in the empty ‘sloth’ seat where Belphegor came down.
So who is that devil?
‘I don’t know how Astaroth is treated in this world, or what his condition is. But he is the most suitable person to be called the next Demon of Sloth.’
While Frondia was lost in thought, the demon who was being analyzed cried out without even knowing what had happened to him.
“human! Stop thinking nonsense and kill me! “An endless procession of devils is waiting for you anyway.”
“Be quiet for a moment. Paris.”

“what…….”
When his name was called, Paride’s head turned white. He opened and closed his mouth repeatedly, then looked at the faces of the other demons.
Of course, looking at each other’s faces won’t give us an answer. It’ll just make the eerie truth even clearer.
“Yes, you, how, no way… …!”
“Just a warning to you three, don’t say ‘Astaroth’.”
“what! No, what, that… … !”
The demons didn’t know where to start or how to say it, so they just spit out a few random words.
Frondier said without caring.
“It’s a self-destruct device. If you say Astaroth, it will explode. “If it explodes suddenly, it could hurt me too, so be careful.”
ah. There, Frondier suddenly had another thought and stopped talking.
Demons whose lives don’t matter. If they hear this information, wouldn’t they rather blow themselves up to cause even a little bit of damage to Frontier? I was so worried.
Since I already told you, shall I respond? As Frondier thought of that, he saw the demons.
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Instead of showing any signs of self-destruction, the three demons were just rolling their eyes in confusion.
One of them barely made a sound.
“Hey, don’t lie. There’s no way. Our master would do something like that… … .”
“If you think so, try spitting it out.”
“Ugh!”
“If you want to attack me, isn’t it right to self-destruct?”
Frontier has provoked, but still, no one opens their mouth.
In the first place, he almost confessed that he was ‘our master.’ Their thoughts were clearly visible.
‘You’re trembling with betrayal.’
As Frondier had thought, these three are busy appeasing their anger towards Astaroth.
The reason I’m not blowing myself up now isn’t because I’m afraid of dying.
I guess you just don’t want to die like that.
‘My skill ‘Analysis’ is a skill I got from a quest. So it’s not something you can normally get, and from the enemy’s perspective, it’s a skill they don’t have to check.’
So, Astaroth probably never thought that he would be caught planting a suicide device on his subordinate.
Even if we consider that possibility, we probably won’t pay much attention to words that are going to be thrown away anyway.
‘Maybe I can use this.’
Frondier smiled to himself.
I don’t know if Astaroth could laugh more darkly than this.
“First of all, you guys know my name, right?”
“… … .”
The three of them still had their mouths tightly shut. Frondeer shrugged.
“Devils are good at lying. Why don’t you say something? “Just answer me and I’ll spare your life.”
“I told you before! We won’t beg for our lives from the likes of you! Life is all we have!”
“Yes, yes. It’s just a means to satisfy desires and continue the race. I know that.”
Frondier nodded in understanding.
“I’m not saying that you should struggle in life.”
He put his finger to his mouth. Like telling a secret.
“But if I’m alive, I have to do something.”
“… … “What do you mean?”
“Literally. You have to be alive to do what you want to do.”
Do what you want to do.
It’s not difficult to understand what that means.
One out of three. His eyes flash and he glares at Frondier.
“What I want to do is rip your balls off.”
“Or so.”
“… … “You said I couldn’t do it.”
“No matter what I think.”
Frontier’s voice has no pitch and is calm.
If you read a textbook, your voice will be like this.
“If I live, won’t I have to rip off my hair?”
“… … .”
“Then ask again. “You guys know my name, right?”
The three demons look at each other again.
Faride, whose name Frondier found out, spoke first.
“Know.”
“Then tell me your full name.”
“… … “Why is that?”
“Because it’s a question you can’t lie about.”
Faride fell silent for a moment at Frondier’s words.
I’m thinking about it. I’m thinking about trying to figure out the difference in facial expressions when someone is lying and when they’re telling the truth.
However, that is not what Frontier is aiming for.
“… … ‘Frondier de Roach’. “That’s your full name, right?”
“that’s right. “Exactly.”
Frontier nodded and smiled.
And I thought.
‘These guys, they’re not demons from Agoris.’
If Frondia’s information was leaked due to some action after he was active in Agoris.
They will know Frontier’s full name as ‘Frondier di Roach’.
Frondi changed the last name modifier so that it was called that in Agoris.
The only demon on this continent who knows Frondier’s full name is Bael. Unless they are Bael’s subordinates, they know information about Frondier when he was on the Palind Continent.
‘It’s possible that Bael was telling the other demons my full name, but it’s hard to believe that the guy I’m dealing with would do something like that.’
Bael also knows that Frontier changed his full name. Because it was Bael himself who helped him transfer to Atlas.
There’s no reason to tell other demons Frondia’s original name. Even that is valuable information.
‘Then Astaroth must be one of the Seven Deadly Sins, or even if not, he belongs to that world.’
The Seven Deadly Sins suddenly appeared in a situation where it was suspected that the 72 devils were causing trouble in the capital city of Palma. My head was already starting to spin.
Frondier asked again.
“Is Astaroth one of the 72 demons now, or is he one of the seven deadly sins?”
“……that……!”
“If your boss isn’t Astaroth, there’s no need to hide it.”
The three demons bit their lips.
If they remain silent here, it would mean confessing that Astaroth is their master. It is a fact that has already been revealed, but it is a different matter for them to reveal it themselves.
The answer that the devil came up with after thinking it over was…
“… … 72 devils.”
The only way is to spout out obvious lies.
“I see.”
Of course, Frontier won’t kill you or anything for lying. He said in the beginning that it wouldn’t matter if you lied.
The frontier is trying to get something out of that lie.
‘I guess I have to hide the fact that I’m one of the Seven Deadly Sins. I think something similar happened last time.’
Marcosias, who was one of the 72 demons, became Satan’s subordinate. He also wanted to hide from Bael the fact that he was under Satan’s control.
It is natural that Marcosias wanted to hide that fact.
“ah… … under… … .”
There, Frontiere realized something.
He always had a laid-back look, but this time, even his realization seemed relaxed.
“Now that I think about it, the fact that you are Astaroth’s subordinates means that you are originally from the demon world.”
“… …! Ah, no! We!”
He was about to say that he was not Astaroth’s subordinate, but then realized that was a forbidden word and kept his mouth shut.
I almost died in vain.
“The demons in the Demon World flew to this continent and are furious that Astaroth has installed a self-destruct device, so that means there was an expectation that they would return safely. The demons in Agoris are still struggling with how to return to the Demon World.”
“Oh, no! So, we are the 72 devils, and with the demon world, that’s it!”
Frondier completely ignored the shouts of the three demons and continued with his own thoughts.
It was as if even the demons’ evil cries helped his selfish reasoning.
“Did you come through the gate from the demon world?”
“… … !!”
Now the three demons can’t say anything and just blink their eyes.
Three people will make a wiser decision than one, but there is a problem in this case.
You can’t tell an immediate lie, because then you won’t be able to agree with each other.
“then,”
Frondier smiled whitely.
“I guess that gate is still open?”
