The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 162
(5)
10.
Right after defeating the Arch Lich.
Dillia let out a heavy breath..
“omg! Huh Eok!”
Along with the feeling of shaking as if my heart was about to explode, all my strength was drained from my body. It was the aftermath of pouring all my mana into a single blow..
A body staggering as if about to collapse.
But the eyes were as clear as.
“haha.”
She controlled her rough breathing and tried to observe the magic in front of her eyes..
The enormous magic power that had been weighing down the body had disappeared without a trace. Dillia was aware of this fact. That she took down the Arch Lich.
“Now, with this, everything…….”
is it over?
A faint murmur that had not yet taken the shape of a voice was scattered in the air. The moment I was about to breathe a sigh of relief.
“yes, that's what it says.”
“……!”
A strange voice knocking in my ear.
Dillia looked at the place where the voice came from with a startled face..
Among them, the first thought that came to my mind was 'Maybe I heard it wrong?'.
“i don't guarantee You are qualified as a warrior to face the abyss.”
a soft voice.
Soon someone came this way.
Before long, the fairy light on the wall gave off a bright light, and thanks to it, Dillia could see the opponent's face closely..
Golden eyes shining like stars.
A woman with white skin and long silver hair that seemed to be soaked in the moonlight..
Dillia opened her eyes wide and pursed her lips at the sight of her walking lightly without even making a sound..
“you are……?”
a surprised face.
It was worth it. Because she had a face that looked exactly like hers, to the point where I was mistaken that she was looking in the mirror..
No, it felt like seeing my future self. Because both her face and body exuded a mature charm..
“Whoops, the introduction is late..”
The woman stopped in her seat with only five steps to go with Dillia..
Then he opened his mouth with a light smile..
It was for self-introduction..
“I am Artina Mün Arpen.”
Immediately after revealing the name in a calm tone.
she said with a smile.
“He is the one who created this ordeal and is a wizard who now exists only as a thought..”
It was an introduction that seemed like nothing special except that it was an ordeal, but Dillia's eyes slowly turned wide..
Surprised beyond surprise.
that was natural.
It was a name that not only her, but everyone in Arpen would know..
『Artina Mün Arpen』
She is a person who established a kingdom in a rugged mountain area and arranged for noble fairy blood to be mixed in the royal family..
He is the first king of the Principality of Arpen..
11.
The first page of the history of the Principality of Arpen.
Among them, a pure-blooded fairy and founding king who appears first. An existence revered as a living god by the people of the principality.
All of this refers to Artina Mün Arpen. So after a while after the woman's introduction, Dillia put on an absurd expression..
like you can't believe.
‘but…….’
Her fine eyebrows quivered..
It was true that I distrusted it, but the more I looked at it, the more it seemed like the truth..
there is only one reason.
Because she felt the fairy's blood flowing through her body as if it were whispering to her..
When Dillia was in turmoil.
The woman who identified herself as Artina took another step closer. She then opened her mouth with a sudden expression of wonder..
“It's like looking in a mirror.”
As if she had read Dillia's thoughts, she uttered the same remark. Artina muttered with her seductive eye smile..
“That would mean that he inherited the most of my blood. Fairy blood transcends countless generations and manifests itself in the most suitable..”
“…….”
“The bloodline I left behind is unbroken and continues to this day. What a joy.”
Dillia's eyes trembled as if shaken..
The fact that fairy blood only manifests itself in the right people over generations is information that only the royal family knows..
‘knowing that…….’
This woman is really the ancestor of the royal family.).
Do you mean the first monarch, Artina??
The moment when many questions and curiosity sprouted from a single question.
“You have a face with many things you want to ask.”
Suddenly, Artina thrust her face in..
As if reading Dillia's expression, she replied with a benevolent smile..
“do not allow me to ask questions you deserve it.”
You can ask anything you want to ask.
As soon as permission was given, Dillia spoke out the questions in her head as if she had waited..
“What the heck is this place? And why are you in a place like this…….”
“This is the trial of magic. It is a place to verify whether the challenger is qualified..”
“what, qualifies?”
“stellar knowledge. And it means the successor to Ainer's mission and the qualification of a warrior..”
A kind reply came back, but it was full of incomprehensible stories. So the moment I tilted my head, a name suddenly came to mind..
“Einer?”
When I came here and opened my eyes.
The first barrier that blocked the way said to Dillia that he was Ainer's successor..
When I thought of that time.
“Einer Mel Arpen.”
Artina pursed her lips..
Soon after, I added a brief introduction to who Einer was..
“My twin brother and the strongest Elementalist. He was the first to look into the abyss, and he was also the sage who recognized the threat of the abyss early on..”
The word abyss that came out of nowhere.
At that moment, new questions related to the abyss sprouted like ivy..
However, Artina, who seemed like she could tell me something, suddenly shook her head. Now like she can't satisfy my curiosity.
“I'm sorry but I can't answer everything. Maybe it's because a long time has passed, there aren't many thoughts left.”
A bitter smile bloomed on your lips.
Just like she said, Artina's body was slowly breaking and flying in the air..
It must have been a mere thought that lost its body, so it could no longer maintain its form..
“Nothing to worry about. Because my memory also exists in the knowledge of the stars. So the moment the succession ends, you'll know everything.”
right after she finished talking.
One by one, light streamed out from the pitch-black darkness. it's starlight. It was a light imbued with Artina's magic and memories..
“But if you've read all my memories and still have questions, then head to the desert..”
“……desert?”
“Yes, a place where a brilliant civilization blossomed and the end was also like a petal that faded. The desert kingdom is overshadowed by the place where it once existed..”
“go, what do you do??”
“find.”
Immediately after chanting briefly as if instructing.
Golden eyes flashed fiercely..
“A person who inherits the blood of Kazan Rudric. If you do, you will be able to solve all your doubts..”
I heard a familiar name this time.
Just before entering this place, a book I accidentally took out from the library of the stars. There, too, the name 'Kazan Rudrik' was clearly mentioned..
“Of course, I thought that it wouldn't touch me right away. Even now, after many years, it is clear that the abyss will be dismissed as an old legend..”
After repeatedly recalling the bitter expression.
Artina continued with a serious face..
“However, the abyss definitely exists, and it is a clear threat aiming at the world. So it might be unbelievable right now…….”
The moment I was about to be asked again and again.
Dillia shook her head..
“no i believe.”
“……huh?”
“If it's an abyss, we've already met.”
“what? what does that mean…….”
Embarrassed feelings for the first time.
Looking at the wavering golden eyes, Dillia summarized what she had experienced so far..
From opening the Abyssal Rift to defeating two Lords of the Abyss. After the detailed explanation, Artina opened her eyes..
“Hey, can I check your memory??”
Dillia silently nodded..
It meant permission. Artina stretched out her hand and made various expressions..
surprise, bewilderment, astonishment, etc..
Leaving behind the various reactions, she muttered in disbelief..
“It's true. To have already subjugated two monarchs, to think that in such a short period of time, a feat that could not have been achieved even a thousand years ago can be achieved..”
Artina still had a blank look on her face..
Like genuinely surprised. Then she muttered in a voice as small as a mosquito..
“maybe this time…….”
“this time?”
Dillia asked back questioningly, but couldn't get an answer. Artina seemed to be deep in thought, but she didn't reply..
After a not short time has passed.
As Artina's body half collapsed and disappeared, she opened her tightly closed lips..
“……decided.”
“What?”
“I will stake all my fate on you.”
A strangely resolved answer.
Artina whispered in a serious tone..
“You only get one chance. If I fail, the wheel of time repeated countless times will break, but I believe in the warriors of this life.”
After the unknown story is over.
Faaaaaaa!
A far greater number of starlights than before filled the entire area. The light was strong enough to completely remove all darkness..
“This……!”
At the same time, Dillia's eyes widened..
It was because the amount of magic contained in each starlight far exceeded common sense..
Much more horsepower than when facing the Arch Reach. Perhaps this is the true power possessed by Founding King Artina..
“It's time to say goodbye.”
Body almost completely gone.
Artina stroked Dillia's head with her broken hand. She then whispered quietly with her face filled with a myriad of emotions..
“I'm sorry for entrusting you with hard work. please forgive me my sweet baby…….”
Finally, the gradually fading voice.
Artina's body was completely shattered and scattered like star dust. Then, the starlight that had brightened up her intestines poured down on Dillia..
“……!”
Golden eyes that have turned round.
As countless stars reflected on the surface of her pupils, the indescribably powerful magic of the stars enveloped her body..
Artina's Knowledge, Memory, and Power.
Her tiny body accepted all of this without reserve. The moment when the succession finally ended after an eternity of time passed.
Dillia's world is broken.
the infinite darkness.
countless twinkling starlight.
This place, where even the flow of time stopped, was an unfamiliar but familiar space. So, inevitably, I knew the name of this place..
universe (space)).
The moment she came face to face with the statue of the Manhui group that existed inside her, she finally realized.
He realized that what he thought was the world was only an egg..
Like a bird that breaks its shell and hatches, she broke the wall and headed for higher skies..
A place called the apex of magic.
in the realm of the sorcerer.
12.
slag-covered valley.
Ulan, who killed every single monster in the abyss, kept the place where the entrance to the ordeal was..
Time passed helplessly, and on the morning of the third day like that. A familiar notice appeared in front of Noah's eyes, who had been waiting impatiently..
【You earned the achievement.】
The long-awaited notification.
When the blue eyes turned big.
Details soon came to mind..
【Achievement]: Star Witch
【Condition]: Dillia Arpen must pass the hero's ordeal and inherit the memory of the star.
【Reward】: Old Star Fragments
The story of passing the warrior's ordeal.
Noah immediately jumped out of his seat and got up. Then he shouted at the uhlan inside..
“Ulan! Dilliaga…….”
“Know.”
The blunt answer that followed.
what? You won't even see a system message, so how do you know? I was suddenly struck by such a question, but it was soon resolved..
“because it just came out.”
Dylia in Ulan's arms.
Covered in a blanket, she was breathing softly as if in a deep sleep..
On the other hand, after witnessing this scene.
“uh? however…….”
Suddenly Noah stopped talking..
Embarrassed look. I deserved it.
Currently, Dillia was not wearing a single thread. It was only then that I realized why Ulan covered him with a blanket..
However, there was something more embarrassing than that, so Noah asked back with an awkward face..
“……Dillia, that's right.?”
“right.”
Ulan nodded silently.
On the other hand, Noah's expression remained the same..
And Ulan realized why Noah was reacting this way. Compared to the last time we met, a lot has changed..
‘grew up.’
I grew in size, lost some of the breast meat left on my face, and there was a change in my body shape..
If he was just a child until a few days ago, now he looks like Noah..
and one more.
There was a fact that became clear.
“You jumped over the wall.”
“……!”
A short mumble heard.
The moment he heard this, Noah hurriedly fixed his gaze on Dillia and blinked..
Because jumping over the wall meant only one thing.
some time after that.
Dillia's status window appeared..
