Di belakangnya, ia melihat rel kereta langit. Void Weaving, Simultaneous Replication: Belati Neil Jack, Ganda Frondier menebas sisi rel yang akan ia tabrak. Frondier menghantam rel yang terpotong itu, dan bagian tengah rel terdorong akibat benturan. Jalur kereta langit itu terbelah. Rel yang kini tanpa penopang bergoyang liar sebelum akhirnya berhenti, menggantung di tebing di kedua sisi. Seekor gagak berkicau dan terbang melintasi udara dari arah hutan. Mengenai jalur kereta langit yang terpotong ini, mungkin gagak itu akan melaporkannya kepada Aten. "Hei, Frondier! Kau memotong jalur kereta langit yang penting. Dan kau menyebut dirimu murid Constel?" Frondier nyaris berhasil menghentikan momentumnya dan menatap Renzo. Renzo masih berada di udara. Ia tidak sekadar melayang, tetapi seperti memasang trampolin tak terlihat dan memantul darinya. Itu bukan 'terbang'. Tapi juga bukan 'melayang'. Itu hanya Renzo melakukan apa pun yang ia mau, strategi yang murni bertujuan untuk mendaratkan satu serangan pada Frondier. Agaknya, ia menciptakan platform dari Aura dan menggunakannya untuk melompat ke atas. Tingkat kesulitannya tidak masuk akal, tapi jika itu Frondier, ia mungkin tidak akan bisa melakukannya karena akan merasa bersalah membuang-buang Aura. "…Renzo, kau bisa melakukan hal seperti itu?" "Tidak. Itu pertama kalinya bagiku." Desahan lolos dari mulut Frondier sebelum ia menyadarinya. Frondier memeriksa sisa mana-nya. Meskipun ia telah menghemat tenaga, ia tidak menahan serangannya untuk menguji barrier Renzo. Itu cukup menghabiskan mana. Sekitar setengah dari totalnya telah habis. Void Weaving, Simultaneous Replication: Frondier menciptakan banyak tombak di sekelilingnya, diarahkan ke Renzo. Kini setelah Renzo bisa bergerak bebas di udara, ia perlu menyusun strategi baru. "Hoo. Semuanya cukup mengesankan." Renzo tertawa tanpa rasa takut. Tentu saja mengesankan. Itu tombak berkualitas tinggi, dipilih khusus dari gudang senjata Kekaisaran untuk menjatuhkannya. "Tapi tidak berguna jika tidak mengenai sasaran!" Dalam sekejap, Renzo menyerang Frondier lagi. Itu gerakan yang berbeda dari sebelumnya. Alih-alih menyerang lurus ke arah Frondier, Renzo menggunakan platform di udara untuk melompat ke segala arah guna mendekatinya. Frondier meluncurkan tombaknya, tapi ia tidak bisa mengimbangi kecepatan Renzo. 'Aku sudah mengantisipasinya saat ia berada di udara dengan metode itu.' Tapi ini terlalu cepat. Baru terpikir ia bisa memanfaatkan teknik yang baru ia ciptakan sejauh ini. Tepat saat Renzo menarik perisai yang tersembunyi di belakangnya. Giliran Frondier mengungkap kartu rahasianya. "Frondier! Dengan kecepatan itu, kau tidak bisa menghentikanku!" Renzo, yang menggambar lintasan tak teratur di udara, mendekati Frondier. Kecepatannya mengerikan. Frondier mengangkat Mjölnir. Menggenggam gagangnya erat-erat, ia menyalurkan mana ke dalamnya. "Aku sudah menyiapkan sesuatu yang lebih cepat." Kemampuan Mjölnir aktif Berkah Dewa Petir Petir dengan santai melingkari Mjölnir, Petir besar yang terlihat sebelumnya, menghantam Mjölnir sekali lagi. Mata Renzo membelalak. Kecepatan terbangnya menggunakan platform udara memang sulit diikuti mata Frondier. Tapi itu tidak melampaui kecepatan petir. Frondier, dengan Mjölnir yang dikelilingi petir, menghantamkannya ke tombak yang ia Weaving di udara. Petir menyebar di sepanjang tombak di sekitarnya, bahkan menjangkau beberapa tombak yang telah ia lempar ke arah Renzo. Frondier tidak melempar tombak itu untuk mengenai Renzo sejak awal. Tombak itu hanyalah penangkal petir. Sadar, Renzo mendapati tombak yang dilempar Frondier ada di sekelilingnya. Tepat sebelum tombak yang bermuatan petir mengaum, Renzo dengan tenang menjawab. "Tidak mungkin. Tidak bisa menghindar." Petir merambat dari tombak ke segala arah. Renzo menerima hantaman penuh dan jatuh dari udara. Petir yang menusuk dari kepala hingga ujung kaki menyetrum saraf Renzo. Namun, Renzo tidak jatuh. Ia mendarat dengan benar di tanah, menstabilkan tubuhnya yang bergetar. 'Kerusakan sebesar ini bukan apa-apa. Aku masih bisa bertarung!' Stamina luar biasa Renzo, aura, dan kekuatan ilahi Ares. Semua ini sangat mengurangi luka Renzo. Frondier juga mendarat di tanah. Renzo memelototi Frondier, memegang perisainya dengan tubuh gemetar. Tubuhnya, yang masih dialiri listrik, tidak mau bergerak seperti yang diinginkannya. Ia lumpuh. Tapi jika ia bisa menahan serangan berikutnya juga, giliran Renzo yang beraksi. "Kau mengesankan, Renzo." "Kau menjijikkan, Frondier. Berapa banyak trik kotor yang kau sembunyikan di balik wajah malas itu?" Renzo menatap Frondier dengan ekspresi jijik. Itu senyum yang selalu membuat musuh-musuhnya gelisah. "Aku punya satu trik kotor lagi." Frondier memegang Mjölnir dan Excalibur. Excalibur bersinar terang lagi. 'Apakah teknik itu lagi? Aku akan memblokirnya kali ini juga.' Teknik pedang asli Frondier. Itu pasti kuat. Tapi Renzo, didorong keinginan murni, berhasil mengarahkan perisainya ke Frondier, meski tubuhnya nyaris tidak bisa bergerak. Penilaian Renzo tidak salah. Itu tidak salah, tapi... Void Weaving, Simultaneous Replication Rank - Legendary, Divine Identical Replication 3 Pasang Di belakang dan di kiri serta kanan Renzo, senjata yang dipegang Frondier muncul identik. Saat itulah Renzo tahu. Ah, orang ini benar-benar yang terburuk. "Ini teknik terkuat yang kumiliki." Saat ia berbicara, Frondier mengangkat Mjölnir. Mjölnir replika di sekitarnya bergerak serempak. Saat ujung Excalibur diarahkan ke Renzo, Excalibur replika di sekitarnya melakukan hal yang sama. Dengan hanya 'Lynotoros' untuk memblokir bagian depan, pasti tidak ada cukup perlindungan. Aura Emission, Sword Technique Frondier Style Swordsmanship Transformation Saat Frondier hendak melancarkan apa yang tampak seperti vonis mati dengan palu godamnya, Suara yang familier datang dari belakang Frondier. Menyadari sesuatu, Frondier sesaat bergerak, tapi kemudian berhenti. Lengan, kaki, dan tubuhnya tiba-tiba terikat benang. "Sepertinya Frondier memang harus dijadikan korban." Muncul tiba-tiba, Cain mencengkeram Frondier dan membuka portal di belakangnya. Renzo berseru kaget, tapi Cain menyeret Frondier melalui portal dan menghilang. Dalam sekejap, Renzo ditinggal sendirian. Untuk pertama kalinya dalam sekian lama, ia merasakan darahnya mendidih terbalik. "Laba-laba sialan ini, beraninya dia...!" Renzo, yang biasanya jeli, Dibutakan amarah, tidak menangkap momen mereka menghilang melalui portal. Frondier tak salah lagi tertawa dengan jahat.
Bab 297
Behind him, he saw the tracks of the skyway. Void Weaving, Simultaneous Replication: Neil Jack’s Dagger, Double Frondier slashed at the sides of the tracks he was about to crash into. Frondier crashed into the severed tracks, and the middle of the track was pushed apart by the impact. The skyway was severed. The tracks, now without support, swayed wildly before coming to a stop, hanging from the cliffs on either side. A crow cawed and flew through the air from the forest. As for this severed skyway, perhaps the crow would report it to Aten. “Hey, Frondier! You severed an important skyway. And you call yourself a student of Constel?” Frondier barely managed to stop his momentum and looked at Renzo. Renzo was still in the air. He wasn’t just hovering, though; it was like he had set up invisible trampolines and was bouncing off of them. That wasn’t ‘flight’. But it wasn’t ‘levitation’ either. It was just Renzo doing whatever he wanted, a strategy meant solely to get a hit in on Frondier. Presumably, he was creating platforms out of Aura and using them to jump upwards. The difficulty level was absurd, but if it was Frondier, he probably wouldn’t be able to do it because he’d feel bad about wasting Aura. “…Renzo, you could do something like that?” “Nope. That was my first time.” A sigh escaped Frondier’s mouth before he realized it. Frondier checked his remaining mana. Although he had been conserving his strength, he hadn’t held back his attacks in order to test Renzo’s barrier. That had used up quite a bit of mana. About half of his tie was gone. Void Weaving, Simultaneous Replication: Frondier created a multitude of spears around him, aimed at Renzo. Now that Renzo could move freely in the air, he needed to come up with a new strategy. “Hoo. They’re all pretty impressive.” Renzo laughed fearlessly. Of course they were impressive. They were high-quality spears, hand-picked from the weapons of the Imperial Armory specifically to take him down. “But they’re useless if they don’t hit!” In an instant, Renzo charged at Frondier again. It was a different movement than before. Instead of charging straight at Frondier, Renzo used the platforms in the air to leap in all directions to approach him. Frondier launched his spear, but he couldn't keep up with Renzo's speed. 'I had anticipated it the moment he was in the air with that method.' But this is too fast. To think that he could utilize a technique he just created to this extent. Just as Renzo had pulled out the shield hidden behind him. It was Frondier's turn to reveal his hidden card. "Frondier! With that speed, you can't stop me!" Renzo, drawing erratic trajectories in the air, approached Frondier. His speed was terrifying. Frondier lifted Mjölnir. Grasping the handle tightly, he channeled mana into it. "I've prepared something even faster." Mjölnir's ability activated Blessing of the Thunder God Lightning casually circled around Mjölnir, The huge thunderbolt that was seen before, struck Mjölnir once again. Renzo's eyes widened. The speed at which he flew using the air platforms was indeed hard for Frondier to follow with his eyes. But it didn't surpass lightning. Frondier, with Mjölnir surrounded by lightning, hit it against the spear he had Weaving in the air. The lightning spread along the nearby spears, extending even to a few spears he had thrown towards Renzo. Frondier didn't throw the spears to hit Renzo in the first place. The spears were merely lightning rods. Coming to his senses, Renzo found spears thrown by Frondier all around him. Just before the spears charged with lightning roared, Renzo calmly replied. "No way. Can't dodge this." Lightning stretched from the spears in all directions. Renzo took the full brunt of it and fell from the air. The lightning piercing from his head to his toes electrified Renzo's nerves. However, Renzo did not fall. He landed properly on the ground, steadying his trembling body. 'This much damage is nothing. I can still fight!' Renzo's formidable stamina, aura, and the divine power of Ares. All of these greatly mitigated Renzo's injuries. Frondier also landed on the ground. Renzo glared at Frondier, holding his shield with a trembling body. His body, still coursing with electricity, wouldn't move as he wanted. He was paralyzed. But if he could withstand the next attack too, it would be Renzo's turn. "You're impressive, Renzo." "You're disgusting, Frondier. How many dirty tricks do you have hidden behind that lazy face?" Renzo looked at Frondier with a disgusted expression. It was the smile that always unnerved his enemies. "I have one more dirty trick." Frondier held Mjölnir and Excalibur. Excalibur shone brightly again. 'Is it that technique again? I'll block it this time too.' Frondier's original sword technique. It was definitely powerful. But Renzo, driven by sheer will, managed to direct his shield towards Frondier, despite his body barely moving. Renzo's judgment was not wrong. It was not wrong, but... Void Weaving, Simultaneous Replication Rank - Legendary, Divine Identical Replication 3 Pairs Behind and to the left and right of Renzo, weapons held by Frondier materialized identically. That's when Renzo knew. Ah, this guy really is the worst. "This is the strongest technique I possess." As he spoke, Frondier lifted Mjölnir. The replicated Mjölnirs around moved in unison. As Excalibur's tip pointed at Renzo, the replicated Excaliburs around did the same. With only 'Lynotoros' to block the front, there definitely wasn't enough coverage. Aura Emission, Sword Technique Frondier Style Swordsmanship Transformation As Frondier was about to deliver what seemed like a death sentence with his hammer, A familiar voice came from behind Frondier. Realizing something, Frondier momentarily moved, but then stopped. His arms, legs, and torso were suddenly tied with threads. "Looks like Frondier should indeed be used as a sacrifice." Suddenly appearing, Cain grabbed Frondier and opened a portal behind him. Renzo exclaimed in shock, but Cain dragged Frondier through the portal and disappeared. In a moment, Renzo was left alone. For the first time in a while, he felt his blood boil in reverse. "This damn spider, how dare she...!" Renzo, usually perceptive, Blinded by rage, didn't catch the moment they disappeared through the portal. Frondier was unmistakably laughing wickedly.
