The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 135
(2)
2.
At the height of the battle in District 3.
There was a person who found the fountain of magic.
A wizard with a young face. It was Dipplin Chernio, the dean of the Arcene Academy's Faculty of Magic..
“ha.”
A sigh escapes from pursed lips.
The reason was simple.
It was because I had stepped back into the fountain of magic, which I thought would not come for a while..
After opening the gap in the abyss and leaving District 3, he returned in half a day..
‘Originally, I had no intention of coming..’
Massive swamp protruding from the rift of the abyss.
In addition, an unknown mud monster.
Right now District 3 is full of uneasy feelings. That's why I originally planned not to come until the gap in the abyss was closed..
But things don't go your way.
She sighed repeatedly and recalled the reason she came here..
‘……Baruuk Celestine.’
A high-ranking magician of the Mage Tower and an aide to Count Dermore, who leads the Empire's investigation team..
As soon as Baruch became aware of the disappearance of the Count and his students, he requested assistance from the academy..
The problem is that he nominated Deflin..
And this request for support was related to the fact that the Empire and the Mage Tower were intertwined with public affairs. It was a request that would be very difficult to refuse..
‘If you abruptly refuse…….’
Not only the Empire, but also the Mage Tower.
Then, no matter how free-spirited Dipplin is, there will be a blow..
Putting the Empire aside, the moment you fight the Mage Tower, you'll be no different from the Abyss Worshipers..
After sighing once again.
she patted her cheek.
‘no, but it'll be fine now.’
The fact that the Imperial investigation team got out of Area 2 safely meant that the strange phenomena that occurred near the Abyssal Rift had disappeared..
Diflin, who had made up his mind, took a deep breath and stepped into the third area..
And speaking of conclusions, revisiting the fountain of magic was the best choice. Thanks to you, I was able to see such a sight.
‘that……!’
monster as big as a mountain.
It was a monster that looked like a combination of all the mud monsters I had last seen before leaving District 3..
‘I think it's bigger than the last dragon!?’
It's huge enough to be overwhelmed by just looking at its size. Dee Flynn opened her mouth wide.
‘Is that also the family of the abyss??’
I suddenly had such a question.
Based on its size, I thought it might be the Lord of the Abyss, but it wasn't..
Because there were people fighting against that monster now..
‘Ulaanbaatar and Dylia Arpen.’
In addition, Laurea, the next saint,.
Although they were all prominent figures, they would not be enough to fight against the Lord of the Abyss..
On the other hand, the battle in front of them is continuing in a very tense situation. It's so hard to predict who will win.
‘Then it must be the family of the abyss.’
Deflin was so sure.
The lord of the abyss is a truly moving calamity that can destroy a country just by existing..
It's not a level that some students, including Ulan, can deal with. So, Dipplin decided that a monster as huge as a mountain was a member of his family..
‘let's keep watching.’
'Cause you don't see a sight like this often.
Dipplin kept his distance so that he could not be seen, his purple eyes twinkling..
The original purpose of finding the leader of the investigation team, Count Dermore, was completely forgotten..
3.
Ulan with twin axes in hand.
He literally ran like crazy.
As if resentful of not being able to deal with the ruler of the swamp in his past life, he sliced his body at random..
Of course, the ruler of the swamp was not being held silent. Utilizing his huge body, he launched an onslaught aiming at Ulan from all directions..
The problem was that everything was blocked..
【This, this wormy bastard!】
When the situation came to this, the swamp's ruler could not disperse the attack. So in the end, I gave up on targeting the other party and focused all my attacks on Ulan..
Only then did the battle become equal.
The swamp ruler did not miss this and pushed the uhlan even harder..
And in the process, he was able to see the engraving on Ulan's back by chance..
【───!】
【that imprint!】
【You bastard! He was a descendant of Rudric.!】
Descendants of Rudric.
Ulan's eyebrows twitched at those words. Because it was a word I had heard before..
‘For sure…….’
When facing the Frost Demon Dragon.
He pointed to himself as a descendant of Rudrick and said that he would never let him live..
and one more.
The dragon of frost and the ruler of the swamp called Baekrang as Rudrick's hound..
‘What the hell is a Rudric??’
In an instant, curiosity soared..
But it was quickly brushed off. The important thing right now is not to satisfy curiosity, but to subdue the guy in front of you..
On the other hand, unlike Ulan, it seems that it was quite an important business for the ruler of the swamp. To the point of stopping the attack for a moment and screaming.
【Kazan Rudric! this fucking human!】
【It's already been a thousand years─.】
【Are you still going to cross the abyss?!】
A guy who talks nonsense.
But the madness didn't lead.
Uhlan found the gap and resumed the attack. After that, the two fought fiercely..
Meanwhile at that time.
Noah was given room.
It was thanks to Ulan focusing the opponent's attention exclusively on himself. So he summoned all his companions to not waste this time in vain..
Information about the swamp lord.
Just to share strategy.
“……This is the only way to get rid of him.”
After a lengthy explanation.
The group's facial expressions subtly changed..
The first question that came to mind was 'How do you know that?'.
But no one said it.
Right now, it is more important to overcome this situation than to solve the question..
“Well, to summarize the story…….”
“You're saying that you can defeat that monster only by destroying its three hidden weaknesses at the same time..”
“yes, that's correct.”
Noah nodded..
In addition, when the meteor fell on it earlier, the location of the source that was revealed was also conveyed..
and even the fact that the three sources are far apart.
“So this time, it's hard to defeat Ulan alone like last time. We need your help to take him down..”
Noah's expression turned serious..
So, just as I was about to spit out the words to ask for help, the three of them answered one step ahead..
“Then, of course, you should help.”
“I will cooperate.”
“what can we do?”
An answer without the slightest hesitation.
Feeling reassured just by hearing it, Noah smiled lightly. Then he moved his lips again to share her role..
“First of all, figuring out the exact location of the source is urgent, so I want to ask Dillia for wide-area magic of 6 stars or higher like before..”
Through large-scale tactical magic, the goal is to clear the swamp that hides the source all at once..
“However, since the swamp is wide now, I think a magic with a wider range would be better than a meteor falling..”
“Okay, I get it.”
Dillia nodded..
After that, Noah continued to explain..
“When the location of the source is revealed, he will surely try to regenerate the swamp to hide it. At that time, I will use a technique to slow regeneration..”
Noah opened the talisman and said.
In this way, the roles of the two are determined..
All that's left is Ybela and Ian..
“then what we do is…….”
“Please take care of his source one by one..”
Noah replied with a stern face..
In the original work, what Dilia, Laurea, and Perticia did together.
But right now, there are not enough people, and there is not enough bonding to get things right..
‘therefore…….’
This time it is not possible to write
So I thought of an alternative.
Ulan, Ian, and Ibella each take charge of one source and destroy it. In order for this to be successful, they must work well together..
but there was no need to worry.
‘Because Ulan remembers his past life.’
Matching the sum should be possible enough.
You will have the experience and memories of fighting the abyss with other warriors for more than ten years..
After finishing all thoughts.
Noah shared the plan of the operation. It was about Ybela, Ian and Ulan's mission..
shortly after the explanation.
“But that's a weakness.”
Isabella raised her hand slightly..
With a face that doesn't look confident.
“Will I be able to break it? I can't even make it yet…….”
it doesn't matter.
The Lord of the Abyss' weakness, the source, can be broken with just a mana sword..
On the other hand, the problem was different.
Whether the current Ybela has the physical ability to follow the moving source.
So the moment I thought about it for a while.
“i'll help.”
“……!”
“stand, lady?!”
A familiar voice broke into the conversation..
It was Laurea..
Ian made a surprised expression at the sudden appearance. Then, Dillia tilted her head and asked again..
“However, you, divine power, are not lacking, are not?”
“are you okay. Because I just filled it with prayer.”
Clapping her hands, Laurea responded with a tone that said it was not a big deal. With that said, she was in a state of complete recovery of all her divine powers..
Furthermore, the blood color returned to normal..
Meanwhile, after answering, Laurea looked back at Ibella and smiled..
“Among the prayers, there is a divine spell that strengthens the bodies of others. So don't worry and follow Noah's plan.”
As for the prayers to strengthen the body, Yvella had also heard of it. Is that why? Her complexion brightened a little..
“And I've been hurt by that monster too, so I want to give it a shot..”
Laurea gnashed her teeth in anger..
That would be natural.
Being covered in unpleasant mud and almost being dragged into the abyss to death were all caused by the ruler of the swamp..
With the joining of Laurea like that,.
Dillia conveyed Noah's plan to Ulan through magic. Then, midway through the battle, he responded by raising his axe once..
I meant to know.
“Then I'll start the operation!”
As long as everyone agreed, there was nothing to hesitate.
As soon as Noah's cry stopped,.
Dillia quickly drew a magic spell while holding the highest-class mana stone in one hand. At the same time, Laurea concentrated on reciting the prayers..
“……May the Holy Ghost bless you.”
The first thing completed was Laurea's Prayer.
As soon as her prayer was finished, a dazzling pure white light enveloped Ybela's body..
Faaaaaaa!
Heavenly swords, divine blessings, and even holy armor. All kinds of blessings that Laurea could use were indwelt on Ybela..
After a while, Ibella said in surprise:.
“Wow, your body is incredibly light.”
“After all, it is the blessing of the next saintess..”
Laurea smiled lightly..
Next is Dillia's turn..
With the beads of sweat on my forehead running down my cheeks, the ceremony was complete..
“───.”
After that, the moment your small lips move.
saaaaaa!
The sky was covered with starlight. A cluster of lights illuminating the entire area of District 3. Following Dillia's gesture, all the starlight fell to the ground..
It is a 7-star cluster magic that can only be used by selected wizards, and the strongest wide-area magic classified as strategic magic by each country..
『meteor shower』
The rain of starlight that poured like rain swept across the battlefield with the momentum to destroy the world..
Quagga gaga go! bang! kwaaang!
The power to turn the hall into ruins in an instant.
The swamp lord had nowhere to hide..
and the result.
A hidden source revealed.
“Ian! Ibella!”
Seeing this, Noah hurriedly exclaimed:.
Of course you didn't have to.
The moment the source is revealed,
The two rushed towards their source, regardless of who came first..
【───!】
Meanwhile, the swamp's ruler couldn't hide his embarrassment. Because the people in front of me seemed to be moving with a clear understanding of their weaknesses..
I just couldn't be more surprised.
Since the location of the source was revealed, it was necessary to hide the source by regenerating the swamp as soon as possible..
So when I was about to rush the playback.
A blue amulet covered the wreckage of the swamp..
【─This!】
It is the same talisman that blocked the retreat earlier..
And this time it seemed like an effect that prevented the swamp from regenerating, rather than blocking the retreat..
The moment I saw this far.
The swamp lord finally realized.
The purpose of these mortals is to subdue them, not simply to deal with them..
【don't be funny!】
【Damn bugs dare!】
Feeling ridiculously belittled.
The swamp's ruler was enraged at the fact that those he thought were inferior to worms were trying to get rid of him..
At the same time, the swamp shook violently..
He launched an angry attack at Ian and Ibella, who were attacking his source..
quagga gaga gaga!
The Swamp's Offensive Attacks with Fierce Power.
If it was the usual Ibella, she would have been caught up in an instant, but she was able to avoid it by a narrow margin now that she was blessed by Laurea..
The moment the two approached the source.
Perhaps thinking that they could be defeated, the ruler of the swamp tried to take the source to the center all at once..
and in the process.
Ibella found a momentary gap.
‘now!’
Intuition that I can definitely hit.
Soon after, with the golden mana sword, she threw the sword as hard as she could..
A sword attack that pierces through space.
The moment I saw this sight.
“Holy Ghost!”
Ian raised all his divine powers to the limit as if he had waited..
Thus, a step forward (一步)).
It was only one step, but it was clearly the domain of the master. And the source of it is exactly within the realm of Ian..
Now all that's left is Ulan.
But there was no need to worry about this.
The moment the two warriors approached the source, he had already reached the final source..
area of thirty-nine steps.
Furthermore, after activating the transcendental realm.
Right before Ibella's sword pierced the source, Ian and Uhlan each brandished their weapons..
hooked! Awesome! kwaduk!
The sound of stabbing, cutting, and breaking.
It was the sound of the three warriors' blows destroying the source of the creature at the same time. At the same time, a loud howl was heard from the center of the swamp..
【────!?】
The source of everything split in half.
At that moment, the swamp that covered the entire area of District 3 began to turn into ash at a rapid pace..
It was the moment when the monarch met his end..
【no! no!】
【it can't be like this!】
【The fate granted to Jim is still─.】
When I struggled like mad.
The bright red eyes in the center of the swamp trembled as if struck by lightning..
【yes you guys! why are you─.】
A startled reaction as if he had seen a ghost.
The place that the wide-eyed eyes are headed is the spring of magical power that exists beyond the boundary, Area 4.
The guy who was staring at it gathered all his remaining strength and burst into anger..
【ok, now i get it!】
【You cheated on me!】
【Lacus──!】
Finally, a scream that sounds like a scream of death.
There was a crack in the bright red eyes. Before long, the pupils turned to ash and scattered in the air..
4th rank of monarch.
The lord of the swamp was subjugated like that.
and at that moment.
In the air filled with ashes, a message that only Noah could see appeared..
【Unlocked a hidden achievement.】
【Unlocked a hidden achievement.】
The same situation as when the Frost Demon Dragon was defeated the other day. So I wasn't surprised this time.
After a while, the achievement reward was given.
【Achievement】: Conqueror of the Swamp
【Condition】: Defeat Parus, the ruler of the swamp
【Reward】: Elixir of Balance
Almighty Elixir, Elixir.
Among them, the elixir with the name Balance had a slightly different effect from the normal elixir..
A regular elixir doubles a character's traits or characteristics, but an elixir of balance only slightly boosts all traits..
‘If I had to, it would be about 2..’
Just looking at it like this, you can think of it as backwards compatible with normal Elixir, but in some ways it could be better than that..
This is because the Elixir of Balance has no effect on penalties. In other words, it means that it is a consumable item that is beneficial to take unconditionally..
‘I should save this.’
When I was making my decision.
The following notification appeared.
【Achievement]: A hero who faces the abyss
【Condition]: Defeat additional Lords of the Abyss while holding the 'Those Who Go Against the Abyss' achievement
【Reward】: Trials Activated
‘activate the ordeal?’
what is this sound?
Noah tilted his head..
At that time, a small map appeared before my eyes. Map showing locations across the continent, centered on Arsene Academy.
There was a bright spot in it..
‘over there…….’
A desert in the southern part of the Ruben Empire.
Among them, it is the place where the capital of the desert kingdom once boasted of its splendid glory..
When I was looking at this.
A new message appeared.
[alarm]
*Trial of the Hero is activated.
*Among the non-hero candidates, the character with the highest contribution to subjugate the Lord of the Abyss will be granted the status of the eighth hero..
Noah looked around..
Ulan, Ibela, Dylia, Ian, Laurea.
All five are candidates for the hero.
The only person who is not a candidate for the hero is himself.
‘that is…….’
The blue eyes widened wide..
The time when I made a face.
【The Eighth Champion: Noah Darshen
*Challenge the hero's ordeal and prove yourself worthy of a hero..
“……!”
The moment I saw the last message.
Noah's eyes were filled with astonishment..
