The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 129
(7)
10.
The appearance of the giant wolf, Baekrang (白狼).
When everyone except Ulan was frozen, a voice suddenly broke the silence..
“ah! The other day, I saw you, kid.”
It was none other than Dillia..
Ibela asked with a surprised face at the words that sounded as if she had met Baekrang before..
“did you see it? when?”
“During the Abyss Worshiper raid incident, I got help from that kid..”
As Dillia recalled the time and explained what had happened, Ian and Laurea paid attention to the light emitted from Baekrang's body..
Shining light even in the darkness of the abyss meant one of two things..
“I hope your body shines…….”
“Are you talking about spirits or spirits??”
“yes, it's a ghost.”
Ulan nodded..
Because there was no reason to hide it. Then she brought up the story of the time she met Baekrang..
From the moment we met by chance in the crypt of the eastern forest to the moment we pulled out the ax stuck in our bodies and ended up together, everything.
The party listened curiously to Ulan's words..
On the other hand, there were also those who did not listen to the story. She was so shocked that she couldn't even hear the story..
‘me, that!’
Noah's eyes widened..
As she looked at Baekrang with a startled face, she immediately screamed inwardly..
‘It's Mimu's white wolf, isn't it??!’
Exactly the same appearance as in the original.
Of course, it was a little bigger than the original, but that one was Mimu's White Rang. The proof is that the fog shimmering like light turned into a wolf.
‘Uh, why is Baekrang here??!’
The question was not only.
While Mimu's White Rang was a powerful demon, the White Rang wagging its tail in front of Ulan was a spiritual creature to anyone's eyes..
‘Besides, I don't understand why he ended up following Ulan..’
At first glance, it seemed that he had received Ulan's help, but it was not convincing that he followed it with just that..
This is because spirits and spirits do not serve humans as masters without special reasons..
then.
‘huh?’
Suddenly, something caught my eye.
The sight of the light emitted by the white wolf completely clearing away all the surrounding darkness. At the same time, even the tattoos on Ulan's back.
The imprint of a hero was Kazan.
‘ah! if…….’
maybe it's because of that.
According to records, Mimu's White Rang is one of Kazan Rudric's three generations..
‘Maybe that's why I followed Ulan because I was attracted by the power of each imprint??’
This is the best guess.
Noah nodded silently..
After that, when I was finishing my thoughts, Ulan's story finally came to an end..
“……that's how it happened.”
The story of meeting Baekrang.
When the explanation was over, Laurea tilted her head curiously..
“So that means you don't know the exact reason that wolf is chasing you.?”
“that's right. I do not know.”
“Master/servant, no contract, no?”
“okay.”
Ulan nods repeatedly.
The group reacted in bewilderment..
I deserved it.
With Ulan's story alone, there was no reason for Baekrang to follow him..
So when everyone was puzzled.
slippery!
Baekrang got up from his seat.
After a while, the guy who came to the side suddenly poked his big head. Then, out of nowhere, he started pushing Ulan's body away..
“hmm? what is it all of a sudden?”
Ulan asked curiously..
But no answer came back.
At that time, Ibela and Dillia, who were watching this, came up with a plausible guess..
“There seems to be a place I want to go to?”
“Perhaps, the magic circle will guide you to the place where it is, isn’t it??”
It was a valid guess.
If I move like this, being pushed by Baekrang, it will be like heading to District 3..
And right after the two of them finished talking.
[Greung, Greung!]
Baekrang nodded..
As if the guesses of the two girls were correct.
Then there was nothing to worry about.
“great. let's move again.”
Laurea grinned..
As if happy to have a reliable guide.
And the moment I was about to hasten my steps.
“……laurea.”
“yes? why?”
“Don't cheat, don't do it, let go of your hand.”
Ibella and Dillia's eyes narrowed..
It is because the darkness of the abyss has been lifted thanks to White Rang, and there is no longer any need to rely on Laurea's projection..
And there's no reason for her to be in the lead.
In other words, there is no reason to join hands with Ulan now..
At the point of the two, Laurea let go of Ulan's hand with an expression that she was found out..
“Chit!”
It was with a sad expression.
Still, thanks to Baekrang, it was true that the movement was much faster. As long as the line of sight was secured, there was nothing blocking the party's path..
some time after that.
The party entered District 3 in an instant and quickly moved on. Eventually, when we reached the end of our destination.
Suddenly, Isabella frowned..
“Wait a minute, it doesn't smell weird?”
“huh? What a smell?”
“It's kind of like an earthy smell, like that of an old pond or swamp.…….”
She keeps sniffing.
Soon after, Ulan also twitched his eyebrows. It smelled almost like Ibella's horse..
“I heard it and it seems to me.”
“Iknow, right. what does this smell like?”
“It smells like dirt, and it also feels like a bit of a fishy smell..”
As time went on, the other party members noticed the presence of the smell one by one. The moment everyone guessed the identity of the smell.
stop!
Baekrang suddenly stopped in place..
Then the guy lowered his stance, stared straight ahead and bared his ferocious teeth..
[Kreurreung!]
White Wrangler Growling Menacingly.
It's like a reaction to something in front of you.
just as expected?
After a short time passed, I felt the presence of many people from where Baekrang’s eyes were directed..
At the same time, the thicker smell.
The group crumpled their faces..
“Ugh! This…….”
“Almost stinky?”
and at that moment.
The cause of the stench has been revealed.
puck! iron fist!
Objects that emit a bad smell.
It was a moving lump of mud. At first glance, it looks like a monster, and the party grabbed the weapon first without saying anything first..
“Ugh! what is that again?”
“……feel bad, look bad.”
“From the outside, it's a mud monster..”
“But appearing in a place like this probably means a monster from the abyss..”
When we exchanged words with each other.
Ulan blinked in silence. As if you figured out what the monster really is.
“Are you a member of the swamp?.”
“I'm a member of the swamp.”
Noah also added.
After that, the two looked around at the same time, without saying who came first. After a while, Noah let out a sigh of relief first..
“Fortunately, there seems to be no ruler of the swamp..”
“Well, it looks like it..”
swamp lord.
Gnome is one of the lords of the abyss, a monster that rules over the people of the swamp and the largest of all lords..
So, just by looking around, I could tell if he was there or not..
‘but…….’
One thing I'm concerned about.
In an instant, he felt a wave of power comparable to that of the Frost Demon Dragon. In other words, it means that the Lord of the Abyss could have appeared like last time..
‘I can't be careless.’
Ulan's expression hardened..
Even though the ruler of the swamp was nowhere to be seen, that doesn't mean that another lord shouldn't appear..
Around the time when I was so keen on my senses.
“hey. Don't just talk to the two of you, can you explain it to us too??”
Laurea has spoken.
But she was the only one who asked for an explanation..
“Well, the explanation is good too..”
“I can't seem to afford to listen.”
The people of the swamp surround the surroundings.
the distance got closer.
In response, Ibella prepared an attack posture. With the momentum to run right away.
but couldn't.
“Evela! step back!”
“huh? Why all of a sudden?”
It is because Noah delivered a cry of warning..
Ibela, bitten by reflex, looked at Noah as if asking why. Then the answer came from Ulan.
“Weapons made of minerals do not work on the followers of the swamp..”
“……what?”
Ibella asks back with an absurd face.
It's a look that I don't understand at all.
After all, showing is faster than words. After completing his judgment, Ulan narrowed his area at once..
an ax that flies.
Whoa! puck!
In the blink of an eye, the members of the swamp split their bodies in two..
However, Ulan was not satisfied with that alone. It was only after grinding down all the remaining debris like a grinder that he stepped back..
completely powdered.
Ian muttered with a nervous face..
“……did you get it done?”
“no, if you say that…….”
When the bewildered Noah was about to say something.
Awesome! pududeuk!
With a grotesque sound, the powdered body clung to itself again. Then, in the blink of an eye, all bodies were completely restored..
Reaction that did not receive any blows.
Ibela made a surprised face..
“Gee, it was real?”
“no, how do you handle that??!”
Ian also shouted as if it were absurd..
I'll do just that.
You've never heard of a monster that is impervious to mineral weapons..
Seeing the two bewildered, Ulan and Noah taught them how to deal with the people of the swamp..
“Anything is fine as long as it's not a mineral weapon.”
“The same goes for magic or divine power.!”
wooden weapon.
Or, only magic, divine power, or spirit magic can deal effective damage to the swamp's family members..
Scared to tell you this.
two girls stepped forward.
“Then, it's my turn to step out.”
“I'll join you too!”
It was Dillia and Laurea..
In the original work, the two boasted the best compatibility against the members of the swamp. Of course, the same was true of their master, the ruler of the swamp..
‘So even the lord of the swamp never touched first when the two of them were together..’
It was because I realized that it was relatively disadvantageous.
In other words, a boss monster that is weak against wizards and priests, but strong against warriors. That was the lord of the swamp.
‘In that sense, Ulan…….’
It was safe to say that it was the worst match.
No matter how perfect the body and the imprint of a hero are, if the weapon itself does not work, the fight itself will not be established..
‘But from now on it will be different.’
After thinking about it, Noah grinned..
Because there are variables here that were not in the original work. Ulan, who remembers his past life, was like that, but there is a more special variable than that..
『Great Shaman, Noah Darschen』
Although he was buried in the seven warriors and was not active, Noah is also a worthy named character..
Among the skills possessed by Noah Darshen in the original work, there was one that could ignore the offset effect possessed by the ruler of the swamp and his followers..
And, unfortunately, the present Noah also acquired that skill..
‘therefore…….’
Noah did not join the battle and retreated. It was to make a talisman in case the ruler of the swamp appears..
Meanwhile around that time.
bang! kwaaang!
A loud explosion shook the hall..
It was the sound of Dillia's magic and Laurea's prayers destroying the swamp's followers one by one..
“Everyone is fighting well.”
Isabella sighed..
A dejected expression. I wanted to play an active part together, but I couldn't, so I seem to have lost my energy..
The comforting thing is that Ulan is also here. To this Bella added her words with her awkward smile..
“All we do is watch.”
“not necessarily.”
Then Ulan shook his head..
As if there was a way to deal with the people of the swamp. Ibella asked in a puzzled tone..
“huh? what does that mean?”
“You can take it down without using a weapon.”
“really? how?”
Isabella asks back with a surprised face.
Just in time, I felt a presence from behind..
Three or four of the swamp's attendants attacked the rear. Seeing this, Ulan immediately narrowed his area with the words to keep an eye on it..
and stretched out his fist.
Whoa!
the sound of cutting the wind. Then, a loud sound like a bursting balloon engulfed the hall..
wooooooooooooooong!
It was the sound of the swamp's clan bursting..
The followers of the Shattered Swamp remained silent. After arranging all the remaining members of the household, Ulan looked back at Ybela and replied..
“You can get rid of this.”
“……what did you do?”
“Create a shockwave and send it flying.”
Ibela is at a loss for words..
It is because the thought itself stopped at the actions and answers that far transcended common sense. Conversely, Ulan replied in a tone that said it was nothing..
“If you practice, anyone can do it.”
“gee, really?”
“Of course. will you try?”
“no i'm fine.”
Ibella smiled awkwardly..
I was tempted for a moment, but it seemed that only Ulan could do the act of extending a fist and creating a shock wave in the first place..
So when you shake your head.
Noah burst into the conversation..
“then i will help you.”
“huh? help me, how…….”
“like this.”
After answering, Noah attached six amulets to Evela's sword. Likewise, the same amulet was attached to Ulan's ax.
some time after that.
The blue light from the amulet seeped into their weapons. Ulan, looking at this, asked in a curious tone..
“What is this?”
“It's a spell that changes the nature of a weapon. And now it's changed from iron to wood.”
“that means…….”
“Yes, this will make the attack work..”
Noah smiled..
At those words, Ibella turned bright. Ulan also widened her eyes as if surprised..
“What a strange trick.”
There was nothing like this in my last life.
So, he took the bible that Laurea always carried and used it as a weapon. Plus, after a fight, she always nags me.
However, with only a few amulets attached, you can fully use the weapon..
this was a huge help.
“You don't have to nag me this time.”
Ulan grinned as he grabbed the axe..
it was a satisfied smile.
Later, when Ulan and Ibela joined the battle, the fight was quickly over. Around the time when I was advancing by defeating the people of the swamp..
The party finally reached their destination.
End of District 3.
At the border connecting District 4, I saw a distorted scene in the air. Cracks that look like someone forcibly opened the air.
It was a gap in the abyss.
