The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 222
(4)
7.
Meanwhile at that time.
With the intervention of Laurea and the Holy Knights, the battle in Sulfern is coming to an end..
Kagagagak! squeak!
The train carrying Ulan and his party struggled to slow down. It was because I witnessed a group of undead coming up from the engine room onto the tracks..
but there was no need to worry.
[alarm]
*25Burn reduction skill, activation
*Advanced Sorcery: 【Spirit Barrier】
―Implements a barrier that isolates a specific range using the demons dwelling in the amulet..
It was because of the preemptive attack of Noah who spread the amulet in all directions, the group of undead on the track were thrown out at once..
Then she threw all the enemies who might have climbed onto the tracks down the gorge, and thanks to that, the train was brought to a safe stop..
“Next, my turn.”
A girl wearing purple magic armor.
Dillia Arpen raised her magic power. Perhaps because it was close to evening, the magic of the stars showed a stronger response than usual..
some time after that.
Dillia used the top-level star cluster magic at the enemies that Noah had gathered into a barrier..
『extreme nova)』
7star strategy magic.
It is an offensive magic that strongly condenses the mana of the stars and detonates them all at once, devastating the battlefield..
Unlike Meteor Shower, which inflicts a wide range of damage in a wide range, it was also a magic that inflicted greater damage in a certain range..
Meanwhile, the extreme nova that caused the explosion of light soon died down and created a strong gust of wind..
The power to tear apart even rocks. There was not a single demon that survived in it..
Of course, the Immortal Army was an exception..
“After all, a tricky opponent.”
Dillia frowned..
At the same time, I tilted my head as if wondering..
No matter how strong the resistance to magic is, the fact that a single undead soldier could withstand 7-star cluster magic was suspicious..
‘Well, it's not worth it.’
If the opponent was an undead that appears in the southern desert, it would not have been able to withstand even 5-star star cluster magic and would have turned to dust..
But this time it was different.
That is an army created by the Lord of the Undead using the magic of the Abyss. It is a monster that is so powerful that it is different from the normal undead..
‘Nothing to worry about though.’
No matter how different the monster was, it couldn't be sane even in the face of divine power and elemental magic..
And just then, a person with a spirit wrapped around his body left the train. A gigantic magic armor with a large ax in each hand).
It was a barbarian warrior, a uhlan..
“I'll go first.”
After leaving a short message.
Ulan immediately jumped down the ravine..
When I went down to the floor through the black darkness, I saw a battlefield full of undead..
[Aaaa! kuaaa!]
[rumbling!]
Bodies wailing with grotesque voices.
Ulan looked around the battlefield with nonchalant eyes. He was in order to grasp the size of the enemy.
‘It's over a hundred.’
I didn't have to count any more than that..
I was thinking of tearing it apart anyway. Having made up his mind, he straightened his axe and swung it hard..
In front of Ulan, who was rampaging like an angry lion, the undead were like fallen leaves. It's because I couldn't even resist and collapsed.
I didn't even have to use the area..
‘a little faster.’
one more here.
Ulan used the fighting techniques he used to fight the undead in his previous lives..
After crossing each ax and grabbing it, it was a way to go into the enemy camp and quickly rotate the body to grind all enemies..
『huh? what? Why go round and round?』
『I want to dance all of a sudden?』
『Ahaha! Dizzy but fun!』
Hearing the laughter of the spirits, Ulan spun madly with his ax outstretched..
and the result.
Awesome! puck! Kwajik!
The undead were literally ground.
The undead are rapidly being reduced to dust without even having time to approach Ulan's body. On the other hand, there was someone who followed him later..
“Ulan! help me too…….”
It was Ibella wearing lightweight magic armor..
She ran to support Ulan while holding on to a specially made sword..
but soon stopped.
It was because the canyon, which I thought would be infested with the undead, was empty..
“uh? off, it's over?”
“okay. just finished it.”
Ulan replied as he brushed off the rotten flesh and bone meal from his axe. Then she patted Bella on the shoulder as she stood there blankly and said,.
“let's go back.”
“Yes. okay.”
She smiled awkwardly and turned around.
But there was no need to return to the train. It was because the train had already crossed the canyon on the other side while Ulan was fighting..
After rejoining the group, Ulan described what he had seen and experienced down the canyon. Then he added an opinion of his own..
“It's different from what I saw in the crystal ball..”
The size of the undead was smaller than expected.
Of course, I haven't counted them since the hundred, but compared to the thousands of troops I saw in the crystal ball, it's a significantly smaller number..
Dillia also nodded at this..
“yes, the number is too small.”
Right before reaching the gorge, she used her star pupil to see the size of the enemy in advance. She and she said that even then she was few in number.
Why did the enemy decrease in size??
While contemplating the reason, Pertisia, who was conversing with the spirits, widened her eyes..
“oh! There are traces of it!”
A little forest over the canyon, on the way to the northern border. There, I saw countless footprints engraved in a dizzying manner..
All the footprints were largely divided into two directions, and Noah, who saw them, quickly figured out where they were..
“It's on the side of the Principality of Arpen and the Sern Kingdom..”
Footprints divided into east and west respectively.
According to the map, if you move along this road, you will see the border between the two kingdoms..
Meanwhile, at Noah's guess, the complexion of the party including Professor Melt visibly hardened..
“I hope it's not just Endrark…….”
“Are you planning on attacking elsewhere??”
It would be reasonable to think so.
When everyone was making serious faces, Ulan looked at Dillia. Because the Principality of Alpen was her homeland where she was born and raised..
Did he notice Ulan's gaze??
Dillia shook her head and replied..
“You don't have to worry about the principality.”
“are you really okay?”
“huh. Because Arpen's ranger is strong.”
Eyes shining with strong conviction.
It meant that I trusted the Rangers that much..
and one more. There was a reason to show this confidence. It was that the rangers of Arpen were accustomed to fighting the undead..
“Undead often come over from the desert.”
Like the Ruben Empire, the Principality of Arpen is a country that shares a part of the border with the southern desert..
So he possessed silver-plated arrows, swords, and even holy water. That meant that they were prepared for battle against the undead..
“Then all that remains is the kingdom of Sern..”
“If you move all the way along this direction, you will probably come to the border town of Schulfern..”
Schulfern. At those words, Ulan and Noah's eyes lit up once. It's because it's where Sven Isaac, one of the warriors, the Witchbeast Hunter, is..
“I must move quickly.”
“yes? He said he's going to Sern.?”
“exactly.”
Exactly, it's a sulfern, but.
Ulan nodded. On the other hand, Professor Melt and the engineers were skeptical..
“Is there any reason to go?”
“you're right. Anyway, I blocked all the enemies heading to the flute.?”
“No need to take risks…….”
“no, i have to go.”
Then Noah gave strength to his voice.
Of course, it was a decision to save Sven, but even aside from this, there was definitely a reason to chase after the monsters and the undead..
“If Sulfern is captured, the enemy's target will be the one closest to him next..”
Closest in terms of distance to Schulfern.
It was Flute, the border city of Endrak Kingdom. Engineers recognized this fact, but were still skeptical..
“ok, is it really?”
“If you go a little further south, you will find Murkaga, but there is no guarantee that you will turn this way.…….”
“they are not human.”
Ulan came out this time.
He said, recalling the memories of his past life..
“The undead do not attack while dividing kingdoms. He just follows his instinct and attacks the nearest creature..”
“Yes, as Ulan said,.”
“Also, if Sulfern is captured, the number of enemies will be much higher than now..”
Dillia and Ibela also added their comments..
After repeated discussions, it was Professor Melt and the engineers who finally raised the white flag..
“yes i know what you mean.”
“I understand the reason for removing the remnants..”
“However, in order to move to Sulfern, a fundamental problem must be resolved..”
“what kind of problem?”
“no track.”
Sulfern is a city in the kingdom of Sern.
There was no way the rails had been installed outside of the Kingdom of Endrark. So when I tried to explain that it was realistically impossible.
Dillia raised her hand..
“Then, from now on, if you make it, it will work?”
“I beg your pardon? From now on?”
“That's because you don't know what. Building tracks takes a lot of time.”
It would be much faster to walk from here to Schulfern than to build a track to get there..
Engineers each burst into laughter.
Dillia, on the other hand, did not laugh..
“I, horsepower, track, said, will.”
“yes? If it is a horse power line…….”
“Professor, you said. Arbitrarily, if you put a horsepower track, you can move the train even where there is no track..”
When I was touring the plum studio.
Clearly he did say that. It was theoretically possible.
But this time there was also a problem.
“Of course, as you said, there is a way to arbitrarily place a magic line, but…….”
“Power consumption is huge.”
“I'm sure you can't stand it.”
It took a considerable amount of time to get to Sulfern from here. In other words, you have to keep making magic tracks until you get there, but that would require an absurd amount of magic power..
“Magic, don't worry, don't have to, it's okay.”
“what does that mean?”
“If I supplement it, it will work..”
After answering, she put her hand on the train's power source, and soon something surprising happened..
The mana that was on the verge of running out was replenished in the blink of an eye. The engineers who figured out the identity of the magical power were surprised.
“rice, star power……!”
“yes. I use the magical power of the stars.”
As long as there are stars in the night sky.
As long as she can receive starlight, Dillia's magical power will never run out. This is why she was called her 'her star witch'.
A horsepower problem solved in an instant. On the other hand, Professor Melt's expression was still dark..
“Still have problems.”
“tell me.”
“First of all, the ground must be level to lay the track. But the terrain in this area is rugged. So the risk of train derailment…….”
Professor Melt, who cited the problem of rough terrain.
As he continued to explain why the terrain was a mess, he was at a loss for words..
Koo-goo-goo-goo! Quadduk!
It was because the bumpy ground moved on its own, and in an instant the entire surface became flat. even the pits were filled.
When I was staring blankly at this scene.
“this problem is also solved.”
Pertishia smiled brightly..
Apparently, he asked the earth spirit to level the ground..
Ulan smiled silently, and Professor Melt, unaware of everything, asked back with a surprised face..
“uh, what did you do?!”
“Ummm, it's a secret.”
Perticia evaded the answer.
In a situation where the terrain problem was neatly solved, there was only one problem left. It is to create a magic line.
“The horse power line is complex in construction.”
“Although the required amount of horsepower is sufficient, we alone do not have the power to create tracks while matching the train's movement speed..”
In other words, it means that Dillia and Noah, who can use magical powers, must also make a line..
And in order to understand this, two days and nights would not be enough time to explain. So the engineers made a fuss.
However, the reaction of the two girls was calm..
“Oh, if that's the case, it's okay.”
“I already understand how to make it.”
“……yes?”
Engineers blinking their eyes in a daze.
Seeing a gaze full of disbelief, Dillia and Noah created a magical power line in the blink of an eye..
It was not only faster, but also seemed stronger and stronger than anything the Engineers had ever built..
“……!?”
“this, what is this……!”
“what the hell did you do?!”
The answer is simple. Because Dillia and Noah are 'those who are loved by Mana'.
The ability to observe the flow of mana with one's eyes.
So naturally, I was able to understand and implement the structure and operation of the horse power line..
“Let's go if the problem is solved.”
Leaving behind the hardened engineers with shocked faces, Ulan and the others boarded the train..
Where the Immortal Army Headed.
It was to move to the border city of Sern Kingdom, Sven, Sulfern..
