The Barbarian of the Academy - Chapter 199

2.
Meanwhile at that time.
Noah, who was about to head to the library, turned to the fountain of magic..
It was because the news of the appearance of one of the Lords of the Abyss, the Ghost Knights, prevented anything else from happening..
‘What do we do? Oh my gosh?’
Noah biting his nails nervously.
In my heart, I wanted to go into the magic spring and help Ulan right away. But if you think about it, it shouldn't be.
‘Ghosts do not work with magic.’
Of course, you can deal with it to some extent, but it doesn't do much damage to the main body of the Ghost Knights..
Just waiting for that, I felt like my heart would explode with anxiety..
A situation where you can neither do this nor that.
So when I was just rolling my feet.
“……uh?”
The blue eyes opened wide.
It's because the system notifications that I thought would never appear again have reappeared..
What if it's a notification that one of the heroes has died? Noah looked away, clutching at his chest, which was pounding with anxiety..
【Unlocked a hidden achievement.】
Fortunately, the worst was averted..
She lets out a sigh of relief. At the same time, the achievements achieved were revealed..
【Achievement]: Half-human, half-spirit contractor
【Condition】: 'Pertisia Ib Al Ruben' must make a contract with the spirit according to his will..
【Reward】: Elixir of Creation
“Eh?”
Noah tilted his head..
I tried rubbing my eyes with the back of my hand, but nothing changed..
“what is this?”
I've never seen anything like this in the original.
It was the first time I knew that contracts with half-human and half-spirits were possible in the first place. I knew what the Elixir of Creation was given as a reward, but.
‘Elixir that grants character.’
As the word creation implies, taking this elixir adds new characteristics..
For example, by granting related talents to those who do not have magical talents..
‘but the problem is…….’
You don't know if it will add an advantage or a penalty until you take it..
Still, the fact that it was a valuable consumable didn't change, so I put the elixir in my pocket. Thought I'd write something later.
then.
“Noah.”
someone called her name.
When I turned my head to the familiar voice, I saw two girls who were as familiar as the voice..
Dillia and Ibela.
Around the time I smiled awkwardly at the appearance of the two, Dillia spoke to me with a serious face..
“You, too, came to notice?”
“Yes? what, what?”
“I mean, horsepower.”
Dillia pointing to the fountain of magic.
The phenomenon of mana overflowing from the spring was the same as usual, but today it was particularly severe..
Is that why? I couldn't concentrate at all, so I visited this place even while absent from lectures..
“……I can feel the uneasy, magical power.”
“I am similar. I can't explain it exactly, but for some reason I feel ashamed, like the last time I fought the 'Swamp Monster' in District 3..”
Evelyn also wrinkled her face slightly..
Meanwhile, Noah couldn't hide his surprise at the two's judgment. It was because it was an analysis and guess that was close to the correct answer..
‘Maybe it's a warrior's intuition.’
In particular, since the current Dillia is a warrior who has passed the ordeal perfectly, she will have no choice but to react more sensitively to the magic of the abyss..
However, the speculation did not end here..
“I'm asking just in case…….”
“That's a thing, related to Ulan.?”
A sharp guess that penetrates the essence.
Noah nodded meekly..
As far as I've come to know, there was no point in hiding it any longer. Above all, lies are useless in front of Dillia's mind..
“Then, tell me too.”
“that's right. If it's something related to Ulan, I can't ignore it..”
Two girls with strong will.
As Noah was thinking about what to answer, Dillia's ears suddenly pricked up. As if I heard some special sound.
“uh? that…….”
The direction the golden eyes are fixed.
When I looked away, I saw a wolf with white fur galloping away..
Dillia tilted her head..
“Ulan, together, were, wolves, no?”
“uh? I guess you're right?”
Isabella nodding.
As the two said, the identity of that wolf is a descendant of Kazan Rudric and now a spiritual creature that follows Ulan, the white wolf of Mimu..
And now, the place Baekrang is running to is the place everyone was carefully looking at until just now..
It was the fountain of magic..
Shortly after discovering this.
Dillia and Ibela flashed different eyes, no matter which one came first..
“Then, if I, chase the wolf……!”
“Can I get Ulan's location?.”
After making their decision, the two immediately kicked the ground..
The momentum to follow Baekrang and head to the spring of magical power right away. Feeling somewhat ominous about this, Noah hurriedly asked,.
“wait for a sec! I have a permit?”
You need a permit to enter there..
But Ybela and Dillia responded in a way that they didn't like such trivial things..
“no, you don't have to.”
“Forced, break through, that's it.”
Is it because Ulan is involved??
The two looked half lost..
In particular, Dillia created a magic spell to see if she was going to forcefully break through..
Sensing that something troublesome would happen later, Noah hurriedly made a proposal..
“then, come with me!”
“You too, to Ulan, to go?”
“Yeah, I happen to have a legitimate way to get into the Well of Magic..”
What Noah took out was an entry permit..
This is the one I received from Marquis Gorfant as proof of the contract to cooperate with the Empire in the future..
Seeing this, Dillia and Ibela widened their eyes in surprise. After a while, the two readily accepted Noah's offer..
“okay. Come with me.”
If there is a way to get in without fighting, of course it's better to do so. On the other hand, around that time, Noah's determined eyes flashed..
‘yeah, you better do it.’
Helpful or not, it's far better to stand by your side and help out than to leave Ulan to fight alone..
Also, I don't like waiting for him to be safe while being anxious. Shaking off her hesitation, Noah walked along with the two girls..
Following the traces left by Baekrang.
Towards the fountain of magical power where Ulan is.
3.
After making a pact with Perticia.
From the moment the spirit began to swing the coiled ax, the tide of battle was reversed in an instant..
“……Eighty seven, eighty six, eighty three.”
Uhlan continued his mad ax-slashing while counting the remaining ghost knights..
There was a fact that I realized anew while fighting with the spirits for a while..
‘Spirits respond to spirits.’
Depending on the flow of the spirit, the movement of the spirit also changes. For example, if you put spirit into an ax and swing it to create wind, wind pressure that is much stronger than before arises and strikes the enemy..
Whoa! quagga gaga!
Terrifying power enough to tear the ground to shreds. This could be attributed to the fact that the wind pressure itself was strengthened by the spirit of the wind..
‘not only that.’
As I got closer to the knights and rolled the ground with my feet, the vibration became more intense than usual..
This was also due to the fact that the earth spirits reacted to the spirit added their strength, maximizing the vibration created by Ulan..
‘much more comfortable.’
Feel like your whole body has been strengthened.
As I experienced in my past life, it is a feeling that the spirit is not simply nested in the weapon, but is supported in various ways by the existence of the spirit itself..
‘and one more.’
There were reinforcements helping the uhlans.
Pertisia singing while protected by the Spirit of the Abyss.
When I listened to her song, the accumulated fatigue in my body disappeared as if it had been washed away, and I even felt a surge of energy..
With the support of Perticia and the Spirit, Ulan played a big role..
Meanwhile, when he was concentrating on fighting.
Pertisia, who was singing, suddenly heard the conversation of the Ghost Knights..
【this is not in the future.】
huh? future?
Perticia tilted her head..
According to their conversation, it seemed as if they were saying that they already knew the future..
But the thought didn't last long.
【I'd better step back for now.】
【Retrieve the Spirit of the Abyss.】
【return to the abyss together.】
The moment you realize the purpose of the Knights.
Perticia sensed the danger and hurriedly let out a cry for help..
“Ulan!”
But there was no need to call.
Her thoughts were conveyed to the spirits, and the spirits whispered this fact to Ulan without missing a single note..
Ulan then reached his destination before Pertisia's cry stopped. After that, just before the ghost knights noticed this.
『transcendent realm』
Techniques that penetrated the boundaries of each domain and transcended even space were unfolded. In the blink of an eye, the results appeared..
The disastrous defeat of the ghost knights.
Their crumpled form turned to ash and scattered, and Uhlan growled ferociously..
“can't take him.”
Spirit of the abyss, Pertisia too.
'Cause I swore to take them all out together.
and―.
“you guys can't go back!”
A roar that roars across the battlefield.
Ulan howled with an angry voice, and as if to keep the declaration he had just made, he spread the realm again and used the transcendence realm..
Kwajik! Wood deok! bang!
His movements were like flashes of light..
It was difficult to follow even with the eyes, and the madly swinging ax was so fast and fierce that it was hard to notice the approach..
The already reversal of the war turned even more steeply, and the number of the Ghost Knights had already decreased by nearly half..
The moment you realize this.
The Templars made a decision.
【everyone, spread.】
At the end of a short command, the specter knights who had formed a dense formation dispersed..
From the outside, they seemed randomly scattered, but they had something in common..
That it goes straight to the abyss.
“……!”
Ulan activates the Transcendence Realm again and again..
Every muscle in my body felt like it was going to break, but I suppressed the pain without expressing it..
Because there is something else important right now.
‘can't miss even one.’
They have two tricky characteristics. First of all, the aforementioned weapons and magic do not work..
and the other―.
Even if only one of the ninety-nine knights survives, it can be restored as long as there is magic in the abyss..
‘The only way to get rid of them completely is to deal with all ninety-nine knights..’
This was why Ulan was counting the remaining numbers of the Wraith Knights..
But alone, I quickly got out of my strength.
The Templars had already spread out, and they widened the gap by calculating the extent of Uhlan's territory. In addition, at some point, the specter's family was summoned..
‘as it is…….’
You'll miss at least a dozen.
Then, the Ghost Knights will quickly replenish their numbers, and today's battle is likely to end without any meaning..
‘If at least there were other guys, the battle would have been much easier..’
Laureana Ian who handles divine power.
Or Ybela, Dillia, or Noah are fine..
It's because the role of tying the feet of the Ghost Knights retreating into the abyss is enough. The moment I silently swallowed my regret at the absence of my colleagues.
[aww woo―!]
Unexpected reinforcements arrived.
angry wolf howl.
not even one Numerous cries echoed across the battlefield. Soon hundreds of wolves appeared from all sides..
It was the White Rang of Mimu (迷霧).
【Rudric's family!】
【how are you here…….】
The Ghost Knights widened their eyes as if they had found out what Baekrang really was. But, of course, no answer came back..
Kwajik! waddeuk!
The wolves mercilessly bite the legs of the Ghost Knight and the Ghost Horse. This was possible because the essence of Baekrang was a spiritual object..
In the meantime, Baekrang and I met eyes..
Eyes that twinkle fiercely.
I will block the retreat of the knights and tie them up, so it seems like they are telling you to deal with it in that gap..
“I owe you.”
Ulan showed his teeth and laughed..
If Baekrang ties the feet of the knights and his followers, it is as if his worries have been resolved. So he raised his spirit again and went into battle..
“thirty two, thirty one, twenty nine.”
The rapidly dwindling number of articles.
A spring leading to the abyss was right in front of us, but it was already filled with a group of white wolves who had already been divided..
In a situation where the escape route was completely blocked, Ulan tore and slashed at random the ghost knights like a killer whale hunting a school of sardines..
“twenty three, twenty one, eighteen.”
The ghost knights are quickly defeated individually.
Until just now, the command to spread was a wise choice and a way to escape, but now it is completely turned around due to Baekrang's intervention..
Did you instinctively sense the crisis??
The scattered knights gathered their remaining troops and followers and gathered them together. Then, all at once, they raced in one direction..
With Arsene, the fountain of true magic,
The moment you realize their purpose.
“don't miss!”
Ulan chased into the Transcendence Realm.
In the process, blood poured from his nose and mouth, but he didn't care. Furthermore, Baekrang also desperately blocked the knights' charge..
and the result.
The ax wrapped in the spirit touched the specter..
However, there was one existence that could not hit because it was only half a step short..
“……!”
one ghost knight.
As soon as he stepped into the spring, he was greeted by the darkness rising from the abyss..
At the same time, the guy opened his mouth..
【I will give you victory in this battle.】
The guy let out a short sigh. As if relieved that Ulan's ax didn't reach.
【But the next one is different. Because I can be a crowd at any time. In the battlefield after…….】
But he couldn't even speak.
Ulan, who had expected to watch his return with a dejected face, gladly stepped into the spring heading into the abyss..
“no, there is no next!”
Ulan is approaching with strides.
The ghost knight widened his eyes..
【───!?】
Because it's unexpected.
The darkness of the abyss soon wraps around Ulan's body.
He roared, not intimidated in the slightest, as it is normal for living beings to feel visceral fear..
“'Cause I never intend to let go.”
So I'll follow you wherever you go.
Even if that place is at the bottom of the abyss!
A roar tinged with madness and obsession. The ghost knight stiffened as if he was overwhelmed for an instant. At that moment, the darkness of the abyss swallowed them both..
“Ooh, Ulan?!”
Pertishia, perplexed, reached out her hand..
But her hand never touched him. Ulan and the ghost knight disappeared in the blink of an eye.
