The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 161
(4)
7.
The moment you step through the door.
The world has changed once again. The landscape that looked like a library disappeared completely, and a long passage appeared instead..
forward only.
Dillia moved on without a word..
“…….”
A dark road without even a single light.
But there was no need to worry. The more I went forward, the brighter light emitted from the wall cleared away the darkness..
At first, I thought it was magical power, but in reality it was different. That's because the flow of magical power was not observed at all..
Instead, I felt a familiar power..
The power of the fairies. The moment she realized this, Dillia grasped the identity of the light that cleared the darkness..
‘fairy light).’
A mysterious ore that is said to be impossible to even touch unless you are a fairy..
It is light enough not to be thought of as a mineral and is characterized by a material that is harder than steel..
Even though it is usually invisible, it was also a famous stone for emitting a brilliant light when a tooth with fairy blood appeared..
‘Also this place…….’
I thought about it from the first time I entered, but it seems that it was created by a fairy..
When I thought so.
Dillia's steps stopped..
It was because a huge door made up of fairy lights blocked her way. On the surface of the door were written these words:.
『The wise man who solved the ninety-nine problems.』
『Or the hero who broke through the labyrinth.』
『We've finally reached the final ordeal.』
『If you're determined, open the door.』
Since you've come this far, there's nothing to hesitate about.
To keep her promise to Ulan, to get out of here, she reached out..
Clap! coo coo coo!
The door opens with a loud sound.
The door that had been closed for a long time opened, and the scenery beyond it was reflected in golden eyes..
Soon, Dillia tilted her head..
“Lab?”
A murmur that came out without me knowing.
As the saying goes, the scenery unfolding before my eyes looks like a wizard's lab. The magic books and unknown reagents scattered across the floor were evidence..
Of course, it was quite large for a laboratory, but.
While looking around like that, her eyes suddenly fixed on one direction..
furthest from the entrance.
There was an old chair at the end of the lab..
A chair that looks like it's about to crumble at any moment because it can't stand it for a long time. What she paid attention to was the person sitting on the chair..
“that…….”
Skeleton in an antique robe.
The skeleton, presumably the owner of this laboratory, was seemingly ordinary..
But Dillia thought differently..
Because she, who was loved by Mana, could see the amount of magical power emitted by the skull..
‘……monster.’
Silver eyelashes fluttered..
It was worth it. Her skull boasted an overwhelming amount of magical power, more than any being she had ever seen..
Goosebumps all over my body.
Dillia soon realized the skeleton's identity..
‘arc reach.’
When a wizard who has reached at least the level of a wizard in his lifetime turns into a lich, the object is called an arc lich..
The crucial difference between a normal reach and an arc reach is the availability of communication..
Unlike the lich, who only blindly hates the living, the arch lich is intelligent and has a clear sense of purpose..
Of course not absolutely.
Intelligence and purpose were enough to wear out in the storms of the ages..
‘therefore…….’
Sudden attack is likely.
To prepare for this, he carefully raised his horsepower. Then, at that moment, suddenly, the skeleton's eyes flashed fiercely..
“……!”
Purple eyes that even feel the spirit.
Dillia's complexion hardened quickly..
But what I feared did not happen..
Because the skeleton just stared at her in silence. After a while, a strange voice was heard along with a rattling sound..
「……It was a long wait indeed.」
A rough voice like scratching iron.
With a voice that made me feel uncomfortable just hearing it, the skeleton murmured like a sigh..
「Although it is a self-imposed bridle, eternal life is utterly boring..」
After speaking, he kicked off the seat..
The chair, barely holding its shape, collapsed and turned to dust. The skeleton looked back at Dillia with a creaking noise..
「my lovely baby.」
eyes softened.
I don't know why, but when I saw his eyes, he was very kind to Dillia..
「I would like to talk more, but please forgive me for not being able to.」
before the final ordeal.
Noah said that the only way to get out of here is to defeat the Arch Lich..
‘but…….’
Judging from the favorable gaze and voice, it seemed that there was no reason to fight him. Do battles really happen? The moment I thought.
「―Then heir.」
the mood has changed.
Instead of a gentle voice, an ice-cold voice fell down, and the purple eyes turned like a sharp blade..
「knock me down with all your might.」
Opponent closing the distance.
Overwhelmed by the ferocious force, Dillia involuntarily took a backward step. However, he had nowhere to back down, and the skeleton's words followed soon after..
「and prove.」
Right after a short word stops.
Dillia's eyes widened..
“……!”
It was because an enormous amount of mana had soared. She once said that she had magical powers equal to or greater than that of her mentor, Di Flynn Cernio..
The momentum that overwhelms the hall.
Arch Reach shouted loudly..
「You are the star that will light up the abyss!」
Hundreds of spells that embroider the air).
The final ordeal soon began..
8.
Meanwhile around that time.
Not long after Dillia left.
Noah, who was sitting next to Ulan in front of the campfire, suddenly opened his eyes wide..
“ah!”
The reason for the surprise was simple..
I only blinked once, and the scenery around me changed..
“you came out.”
“that, that means!”
It is said that the hero's ordeal has begun..
In other words, it means that the battle between Dillia and Archlich took place. As evidence of that, the entrance to the ordeal had completely disappeared..
‘hereby…….’
I did all I could.
You killed the worshipers who interfered with your trials and gave you all the amulets you had..
All that remains is to defeat the Arch Lich and be recognized as a hero. It was only that, but Noah's complexion was not very good..
‘But why are you so anxious?’
For some reason, a feeling of uneasiness remained in my heart.
As a result of thinking about it, I was able to quickly guess the reason. This is because there were so many variables that we went through during this ordeal..
‘Assault of the Abyssal Worshipers.’
In addition, speculation that one of the Lords of the Abyss may have emerged into the world, and the possibility that, like Uhlan, he retains memories of a past life..
Because of the occurrence of a series of variables that had never existed in the original work, Noah's anxiety swelled like a snowball..
‘Hopefully this time too…….’
it won't go wrong?
As those thoughts gnawed at my brain, the uneasiness in my heart grew..
Then Ulan spoke up.
“Okay.”
“yes? what, what?”
“If it's Dillia, you don't have to worry.”
A word firmly spoken.
All warriors have one thing in common besides the fact that they challenged and passed the ordeal..
It could be said that it was the reason for fighting the abyss, and it could also be said that it was a precious thing that each person wanted to protect..
Ulan is proud of being a warrior.
Ibela was faith, Laurea was faith, Sven was freedom, Perticia was a colleague, and Ian was an oath made as a child..
‘and Dillia…….’
The one and only family she acknowledged.
half-sister, Rudina Arpen.
As long as there is a reason for fighting and a precious existence that must be protected, Dillia will not give in..
Because beings who have something to protect do not give up and face any despair..
So Ulan was convinced.
“The boy will overcome the ordeal unconditionally.”
Dillia knows that victory can be won.
On the other hand, immediately after Ulan's assertion.
Noah looked up blankly at him..
fiercely shining eyes.
His eyes were full of strong faith in Dillia. As he watched this, he strangely felt his uneasiness disappear little by little..
‘……Ulan is right.’
Although they went through various variables before challenging the final ordeal, there is no fatal factor enough to hinder Dillia..
In other words, this anxiety is groundless.
the moment you realize this.
Noah immediately regained his cool. The anxiety that had been eating her breasts had already completely disappeared..
She immediately recalled the development of the original story and predicted what would happen in the future..
‘If you defeat the Arch Lich…….’
Dillia gets the qualifications of a warrior.
And after inheriting some of the knowledge called the memory of the stars, he will appear unconscious at the place where the entrance to the ordeal used to be..
‘All heroes are found unconscious after the ordeal is over..’
Ulan was no exception to this..
He also passed the ordeal, slept for a full day, and woke up on the day of the festival..
Immediately after completing a short flashback.
Noah's eyes lit up..
‘The work is not done yet.’
Move the unconscious Dillia to a safe place and guard it until she recovers..
That is the task given to you.
By the time I realized this.
Suddenly, Ulan turned around. Then, with her back to Noah, she pursed her lips..
“Above all, we have work to do separately..”
“yes i know.”
Noah nodded seriously..
It must be the same as what you just remembered. When the bold answer came back, Ulan smiled contentedly..
“I'm glad you know.”
After replying, he moved on..
With an ax in both hands.
“Ulan?”
Noah tilted his head at this..
Just as he was about to ask what he was doing, Ulan took a deep breath..
and at that moment.
“……!”
Memories of the past came to mind.
The nightmare I had during the entrance ceremony. Noah opened his eyes and immediately plugged his ears..
It was a very wise decision.
“Like a rat-! don't hide!”
Earth shakes like an earthquake.
Soon, a wild roar that shook the heavens and the earth resounded throughout the valley..
“right now! come out―!”
An intangible shockwave swept the area.
It was crazy power. I blocked my ears properly, but the tinnitus came to me for an instant..
After a storm.
A sign appeared in the quiet valley.
gurgling! guruk!
A being that trembles like a shadow.
Appearing one by one, they quickly became an army and surrounded the valley. When Noah saw them, he was horrified..
“poetry, abyss monster?!”
“The stench stung my nose from earlier.”
Ulan replied calmly..
It was at this moment that the reason why he burst out with an angry roar was revealed. Meanwhile, with the appearance of monsters from the abyss, one guess came to mind..
“So, I hope the worshipers……!”
Is this insurance in case you fail to get rid of Dillia in the ordeal??
When I think so, the front and back are right.
If she breaks through the ordeal and falls unconscious, she will easily achieve her goal..
‘and one more.’
Currently, the monsters surrounding you are made up of guys with strong resistance to magic, like Arvik you met in the ordeal..
This gave more weight to speculation that the insurance was designed to get rid of Dillia..
‘They are really nasty guys.’
Noah shuddered..
It was because of the tenacity to achieve the goal somehow and the terrible malice to kill Dillia..
【Grrrrr!】
Meanwhile, the monsters are gradually closing the distance.
Although there were quite a number of them, Uhlan stood in the lead, unflinching in the slightest..
quagga gak!
Suddenly, a line was drawn under my feet..
A line carved with an axe. He crossed the line and took a step outside..
“Come on, monster..”
His one step is forty-five steps.
Faced with a howling monster.
Ulan shouted with his fighting spirit..
“I won't send any more after this!”
With a roar that shakes the battlefield.
The monsters of the abyss kicked the ground. Like I couldn't even tell who was the prey.
The price of illusion was terrible.
puck! quadruple!
The moment they entered the realm, hundreds of monsters met the same fate as Arvik..
“wow.”
At the end of Noah's short exclamation.
All monsters turned to ash and scattered.
It was Ulan's victory.
9.
At the same time, the hero's trial.
Unlike the outside where the fight ended in an instant, the battle in Dillia continued fiercely..
At first, I was wondering how to deal with a monster like that, but surprisingly it was worth it. It was thanks to the experience of fighting the abyss.
‘Although it's definitely strong…….’
Nothing compares to the Lord of the Abyss.
However, it was not an easy opponent to look at. Although the realm of magic is similar, there is a crucial difference between the two..
‘……amount of horsepower.’
The amount of mana of the opponent is insane.
The moment I first saw it, I felt like a spring of highly compressed magical power was walking around..
‘In other words, the long game is unfavorable..’
Even if you use all the magical powers given to you by Noah, it's nothing compared to the Arch Lich..
So the only way to get through the battle is to see the match as soon as possible. Soon after, Dillia found her way to victory..
‘Parfait of all spells.’
In order to overwhelm the opponent in a tight battle, the only way to destroy all magic and create a momentary gap is to launch an attack..
I tried several other methods, but this one had the best chance of success..
‘But to do that…….’
Superhuman concentration is essential.
Maybe there will be something that you have to burn your vitality. Dillia, on the other hand, was not afraid. Because she had a reason to live.
‘I can't die in a place like this.’
Her half-sister, Rudina Arpen.
If Dillia dies, Rudina will be completely alone. She could never be down to prevent that from happening..
‘I couldn't even answer.’
Dillia is in great debt.
To the comrades who risked their lives to come and save themselves. Even if they were to repay her kindness, she had to live..
‘and…….’
Right before the final ordeal.
Ulan suddenly hugged himself and whispered that he would wait. Dillia recalled this and her eyes filled with determination shone..
‘must win.’
To upset the balance of the tense fight.
In order to overcome the ordeal by creating a momentary gap, she burned her concentration..
As the goal is to destroy all magic in one blow, all chanting of destruction spells started with mental calculation and ended with mental calculation..
“…….”
Overload coming soon.
My head started pounding, and blood flowed from my nose, ears, and mouth..
but didn't care.
Shortness of breath hit her with chest pain and a twisting pain in her intestines..
but ignored.
The state of selflessness without any wandering thoughts.
how long has it been like that?
By the time the roaring concentration reached its limit, the light toward victory was completed..
Dillia grabbed it at once..
and at that moment.
the world went dark.
It was because all of the magic spells of the Arch Reach were destroyed at once. A momentary gap created at the cost of superhuman concentration.
Not missing this one-of-a-kind opportunity, Dillia poured all her magic into a single magic that could outsmart her opponent's chant..
『starlight』
1Astral cluster magic.
It is the first magic she learned, and the magic that forms the basis of all cluster magic. The moment the starlight that brightens the moment clears the darkness.
Aaaaaaang!
A pure white flash struck the Arch Reach..
「────!」
no screams were heard.
Even if I heard diarrhea, it would have been buried in the binge drinking.
Soon after the flash stops.
The skeleton on the other side disappeared without a trace. The ghastly glow in the eyes and the mighty magic power like a spring of magic power disappeared without a trace..
a dark world.
The only thing shining was Dillia..
