The Barbarian of the Academy - Chapter 240
(1)
1.
A space filled with heavy silence.
Across the vast swamp stands an undead waving a red robe..
Lord of the Undead, Asteban.
The moment he faced the blue eyes burning quietly, Noah swallowed dry saliva without even realizing it..
‘……What really matters is from now on.’
After overcoming all obstacles, we finally arrived at our final destination. All that remains now is to confront Asteban directly and subdue him..
Noah recalled the information he had obtained while fighting Asteban in the original story. He was there to help in the battle that was about to begin..
‘Probably the first attack…….’
Curse of Horror.
hallucinogenic necromancer.
Black magic to isolate opponents.
Must be one of the three.
The moment I analyzed his behavior patterns in detail based on the experience I gained from the original work..
cooong! coo coo coo!
Suddenly the ground shook violently.
so badly that I can't stand it.
“What, what? earthquake?!”
“Is it Asteban's work??”
The group each lowered their stance..
It was to prevent falling. Meanwhile, he looked at Noah. Because if it was her, she thought to inform the cause of this phenomenon.
“Noah?”
but no answer came back.
To be precise, it would be correct to say that there is no time to answer. Currently, Noah was sitting in his seat preparing her magic trick..
After a while, a total of nine amulets were scattered in all directions. When all the amulets were wrapped in fire and reduced to ashes, miraculously, the earthquake quickly stopped..
“shaking…….”
“It seems to be completely gone.”
“what happened?”
Those who questioned me curiously.
After finishing using the technique, Noah took a short breath and gave an answer..
“This is Asteban's necromantic.”
“It's called necromancer?”
“Yes, it's a spell that creates a kind of hallucination in a certain area and then puts opponents in the area into various confusions..”
In fact, the ground did not shake at all..
Noah, who knew this through the original story, used the talisman to completely burn the necromancer clinging to the party..
On the other hand, unlike Noah, who responded as if it was not a big deal, the reaction of the other party was different..
“that, how, okay?”
Dillia, in particular, opened her eyes wide..
It was natural. It was because Noah grasped very easily what she couldn't find even with her eyes that could observe the flow of magical power..
“How many times have you been through.”
“what? to have experienced?”
“Sorry, I'll tell you everything later. For now, let's focus on the battle against Asteban..”
As Noah said, it was not enough even if he focused all his attention on Asteban. Dillia tried to suppress her curiosity and nodded her head..
then.
Suddenly Ulan narrowed his eyes..
“So is that also an illusion??”
“yes? which one?”
“The swamp seems to be moving.”
A huge swamp spreads out ahead.
As he said, the entire swampland could be seen wriggling. Then a high wave began to rise from the center of the swamp..
Black waves like pitch black.
With a somewhat uneasy feeling, Dillia immediately raised the magic of the stars..
“……all my back!”
It's not a hallucination this time.
With the idea that it must be stopped somehow, she chanted a protective spell. But at that moment, a cry was heard that stopped her..
It was Noah's voice..
“No, never mind those waves!”
“what? that, what, say…….”
“Even if it touches the body, there is no other effect other than unpleasant. What we need to be careful of is the fog beyond the waves!”
Fog hidden by the waves.
The correct name for what appears to be just plain fog is the Fog of Corruption.’.
As one of Asteban's unique spells, it is a terrible black magic that rots the body the moment it touches the fog..
‘Besides, there's something worse.’
The fact that once a body begins to rot, it cannot be healed even with divine power. The only solution is to cut out the rot.
That's why you shouldn't let the fog fill this space. Noah immediately turned to Laurea and exclaimed..
“Laurea! Hurry up and pray for purification. We must purify it before the fog consumes the whole space.!”
“leave that to me!”
At that time, Ian stepped in instead..
Laurea thought it would be best to save her strength for the battle against Asteban..
After answering, Ian immediately knelt on the floor and prayed..
“Holy Ghost. you are my star Give me the strength to defeat the evil that denies you!”
Did you notice it then??
The fog of corruption flew towards him along with the jet-black waves. But he couldn't disturb Ian. Noah's response was much better..
baba babat!
Amulets that scatter in all directions.
Soon, while the barrier she created blocked the fog, the prayer for purification was completed..
Then something amazing happened.
“fog……!”
It was as if the fog that had come close to him had evaporated. Furthermore, the waves as well as the black swamp evaporated in an instant..
At that moment, everyone in the party realized.
Leaving aside the detailed reasons, I know that victory can only be achieved by following Noah's instructions..
“Next is necromancer!”
A similar situation has been repeated since.
Noah was quick to deal with Asteban's every attack, even accurately predicting the next spell he would use based on his actions..
Thanks to this activity, the party gradually narrowed the distance from Asteban's throne..
The remaining distance is about a hundred steps.
At this sight, Asteban's blue eyes swayed like a candle in the wind..
【this, what is this―.】
I couldn't help but be flustered.
All the black magic and necromantic magic that Asteban has used so far were the only unique spells in the world that he independently researched and created..
In the first place, it wasn't long before he came out of the abyss. That means this is the first time you've used a unique spell..
【But how do you know?】
In addition, beyond simply knowing the existence of unique spells, he knew the detailed effects as well as how to destroy them..
It's crazy and crazy.
Just as Asteban's face crumpled, there was someone who suddenly caught his attention..
【that―.】
A black-haired girl who commands the heroes at the center of the group. She is one of the greatest threats of the Abyss along with the Star Agent. The variable Lacus said.
【―gentile.】
The moment he confirmed Noah's existence, Asteban instinctively felt it. That she was the one who figured out her own unique spell..
Shortly after realizing this.
Asteban kept Ulan's group from approaching, while quietly raising his magic power without anyone noticing..
Aiming for only one purpose.
It was to get rid of the stranger..
2.
Meanwhile around that time.
Noah calmly blocked Asteban's offensive. At the same time, I slowly moved forward and closed the gap with him..
About eighty steps to the throne.
Was it bothersome to move forward one step after another? Ulan looked back at her Noah in frustration and spoke to her..
“Is it yet?”
“yes, i have to wait a little longer.”
Noah answers firmly.
Ulan put on a tantalizing expression, but did not object. In this battle, he promised to follow Noah's command..
“……i get it. don't wait.”
A feeling of exhilaration that makes the whole body heat up.
Suppressing his fighting spirit to run out and fight right away, Ulan shut his mouth..
Then Noah glanced at him and sighed inwardly..
‘I can understand Ulan's feelings.’
Through all the battles thus far, he wielded the ax before anyone else..
He was always at the forefront when fighting monsters, beasts, and even the Lord of the Abyss. Because I had the strength and skills to do that..
‘But this time is an exception.’
Lord of the Undead, Asteban.
Unlike other monarchs I've dealt with so far, the 'master's realm' itself doesn't work for him..
To be precise, it means that it is meaningless to expand the master's realm. Because Asteban can move freely within the realm.
‘So don't make a quick move.’
He even casts all kinds of magic and curses without using a separate chant..
Therefore, even if you approach by narrowing the distance to the territory, there is a high possibility that you will be exposed to all sorts of magic and curses in the process and be counterattacked..
Noah has seen this situation countless times in the original work. That's why he chose to approach step by step rather than aggressively attacking..
‘But so far so good.’
The party realized what each had to do and moved according to Noah's command. Thanks to that, I was able to close the distance without taking any damage..
‘a little further…….’
After narrowing the distance to the gap where Ulan can expand the territory, if only a 'gap' is created for counterattack, then from then on, this side wins..
And in order to create a gap, there are many things to prepare. Noah was the first to talk to the Myoin hunter..
“Sven, please accept this..”
“uh? This…….”
A total of five charms.
It's something familiar to Sven..
It looks similar to the one I used wrapped around an arrow when I was fighting the immortals..
“You can use it like last time?”
“Yes, and I'm not questioning your skills, but you need to hit at least three shots..”
“……three feet?”
“That's how you can cast a spell..”
Bottom work to create a gap.
Sven's eyebrows twitched at Noah's words. Then he snorted.
“Heh, what about three legs? open your eyes and look I'll hit you all without missing a shot.”
“ahaha, yes I will expect.”
Noah laughed awkwardly..
It was because I realized that Sven's reaction had touched his ego..
Leaving behind the reassuring answer, Noah's gaze headed next to a silver-haired girl who was chanting defense magic in succession..
“I also have a request for Dillia..”
“Yes? What?”
“prepare for extremity.”
extreme nova).
7It is a strategic magic that pours out ignorant magical power in a narrow range with star cluster magic..
To put it more simply, you can understand it as a powerful magic that strikes the entire destructive power of a meteor shower in a range of about 10 steps..
Meanwhile, at Noah's request, Dillia made an expression of incomprehension for a moment..
“But, magic doesn't work…….”
“i'll fix that somehow So just prepare to use it anytime.”
I don't know what the hell she's going to do, but Dillia nodded. In Noah's words, only the truth existed.
“okay. I'll prepare.”
In this way, Dillia's cooperation was also obtained..
All that remains is to deliver these plans to Ulan, Cadel, and Ian. Noah immediately tried to speak to Seth..
But then it was.
wriggling!
Noah's shadow moves in an instant.
It was only a tiny movement, so she didn't notice it. Whereas she was at the rear, this Bella was an exception..
“Noah! Dangerous!”
Sensing the odds, she hurriedly shouted.
However, the shadows rose much faster than Noah could avoid them. Seeing this belatedly, Noah widened his eyes..
“……!”
The shadow that turns into numerous spear blades and pours.
window of darkness.
It is one of Asteban's unique spells, and in the original work, it has an instant death effect..
but nothing to worry about.
Right now, there was an ally strong enough to block even the instant death pattern by Noah's side..
Kagagagak! Kwajik!
An ax that breaks the window of shadow without mercy.
Soon the owner of the ax started talking..
“Are there any injuries?”
“ha, yes Thanks.”
Noah laughed in relief..
Then I gazed intently at the blade of the shadow that turned to ash and disappeared..
Instant Death Pattern, Shadow Spear.
In the original work, it is a unique spell that is only used on targets with the highest aggro. So usually Laurea became the target..
‘But you never thought you were going to target me.’
Perhaps it was annoying to anticipate and deal with Asteban's unique spells..
After guessing, Noah laughed out loud..
Still, I found out that Asteban was nervous with this. In other words, Noah's tactics worked..
‘ok, let's go like this.’
I'm almost there.
Noah patted his cheek vigorously to shake off his thoughts and analyzed Asteban's spell again..
After some time, the battle started again.
Despite the flood of curses, necromancy, and black magic pouring in from all directions, the party continued to advance without hesitation..
how long has it been like that?
The distance between the two powers is much closer than before. And the moment I took another step, a familiar voice tapped my ear..
“now it's done.”
“yes?”
“This is the forty-ninth step.”
Uhlan's whisper is heard quietly.
It was a short word, but Noah understood at once what it meant..
From here on, Ulan's territory.
That means you're ready to fight.
