Laurea and Ian on top of the magic circle.
Noah widened his eyes as he watched the two bodies wrapped in bluish light..
“……!”
I had no choice but to.
According to Noah's conjecture, beings that glow from their bodies, that is, beings who have proven their qualifications as heroes, mean those who have passed the ordeal of a warrior..
‘but…….’
As far as she knows, the two have never challenged trials. At this, Noah wrinkled his brow. This meant that the guess I had just made was wrong..
Ulan, on the other hand, thought differently..
He stared blankly at the two wrapped in light, then asked a soft question..
“Did you pass the hero's ordeal??”
Ulan, recalling Noah's guess, asked, and upon hearing this, Noah immediately escaped from his thoughts..
Of course, it wasn't that I didn't think of that possibility, but it's very unlikely. If I had passed the ordeal, I would have said it long ago.
But at that moment.
“yes that's right. passed.”
“……!?”
The unexpected answer came back.
Noah opened his eyes at the same time. With a dazed expression on her face, she stammered with questions..
“great, when……?”
“When I subdued Asteban, the lord of the undead, and returned to the Holy Kingdom with Sven..”
Soon Laurea started talking..
After the decisive battle in Sulfern, she returned to the Holy Land and took on the mission she deserved as a formal saintess while Sven was training..
“In the process, we discovered ruins that are believed to have existed since ancient times. And the moment we went inside to explore, the ordeal began..”
It was attacked by unidentified golems.
Their surprise attack separated Laurea and Ian from the paladins and isolated them at the bottom of the ruins, where they encountered an ancient relic..
“To be precise, it was a holy relic that had lost its divinity and was tainted with magic. So, the saintess worked hard to purify the holy relic, and I protected her from the invading enemies..”
“……!”
Noah opened his eyes wide again..
The trials Ian just mentioned exactly coincided with the hero's trials, purification and protection given to saints and paladins, respectively..
“The saintess completed the purification when she had almost eliminated the swarming enemies..”
“As a result of further investigation of the ruins, it turned out to be a sanctuary that existed from a long time ago..”
After a long story.
Laurea took a moment to catch her breath. Then he looked back at Noah and said.
“And got this inside.”
Soon she held out an old book.
Noah blinked at the familiar appearance. She was in order to read the information in the book. Then, she soon revealed information that was only allowed to her..
[Star's Bible - (SSS)]
◆effect
*The divinity of an eternal star is granted.
*Divinity can be restored even in the abyss.
(Reward for passing the Trial of Purification)
Current owner:【Laurea Lo Charpelle】
Saint Laurea's exclusive weapon.
Furthermore, it was the most convincing proof that he had passed the hero's ordeal..
While staring blankly at this, this time Ian pulled out his sword from its scabbard and held it out..
“i got this sword.”
A sword wrapped in pure white light.
This was also Ian's exclusive weapon..
[Sacred Sword Cardaron-(S)]
◆effect
*Grants the effect of perm.
*The effect of divine spells is maximized..
(Guardian's Trial Pass Reward)
Current owner:【Ian Marcus】
this made it clear.
Laurea and Ian properly challenged the hero's ordeal and broke through..
Meanwhile, Laurea tilted her head at Noah, who had a dazed expression on her face..
“But I'm surprised.”
“……yes?”
“That we went through the warrior's ordeal. I bet you didn't know?”
“Iknow, right. Of course I thought Sven would have already said that..”
Right after Ian finished speaking, Ulan and Noah's eyes turned to Sven. At the same time, Ulan asked questions without hesitation..
“did you know?”
“huh.”
Sven nodded meekly..
According to him, before Sven challenged the hero's ordeal, Laurea and Ian had already challenged and passed their own trials..
At the fact that was revealed belatedly, Noah shouted with an absurd face..
“No, then why won't you tell me?!”
“Because I didn't ask.”
Sven responds with an impudent tone.
At this, Noah drooped his shoulders as if in a state of collapse. That means that the first guess that came to mind was correct..
Around the time Noah made a blank expression, Ulan suddenly smiled. as if she was satisfied.
“Anyway, this means that six of the seven warriors passed the ordeal..”
It was a natural reaction. Passing the hero's ordeal meant that I was ready to face the abyss..
Even this time, he accomplished his feat twenty years earlier than in his last life. Therefore, it is only natural to show a satisfactory response..
“…….”
On the other hand, unlike Ulan, who was happy, there was someone who showed a gloomy reaction. The only girl among the seven warriors who did not pass the ordeal.
Swordswoman, Evela Eleadda.
Is that why? She nibbled at her fingernails nervously. Then, there was a voice that pierced Ibella's ears..
“You don't have to be in such a hurry.”
“……Noah.”
“Because the hero's ordeal that Ibella will undergo is special, unlike other warriors..”
Noah answers with a smile.
At this, Ibella asked in a puzzled way..
“Yes? special?”
“Well, before that, it would be right to explain the conditions under which the Trial of the Hero is activated..”
Looking at Ulan and the other warriors on top of the magic circle, Noah began to explain..
“According to the setting of the original work, the conditions for triggering the warrior's ordeal are largely divided into three.”
First of all, if you step into an ordeal that already exists in a certain place. In other words, it means that the ordeal is triggered just by arriving at a specific location..
“Among the seven warriors, Ulan and Dylia, Ian and Laurea fall under this category..”
Ulan passed the ordeal of struggle by challenging the ruins in the northern steppe and winning against countless monsters..
During summer vacation, Dillia took on the ordeal of magic near the canyon of the Principality of Arpen, and Laurea and Ian also passed the ordeal just by stepping into a place that already existed..
“The second trigger condition is the environment.”
“environment?”
“Yes, it means that the ordeal is triggered only when a specific environment is in place..”
A hero who meets this condition is Perticia.
She can face the hero's ordeal only when she comes into contact with the special environment of the abyss..
Therefore, in the original work, the ordeal was mainly conducted in the imperial castle where the gap of the abyss was open. After explaining, Noah folded her third finger and said.
“Finally, the third activation condition is a form in which the ordeal is immediately triggered when certain conditions, not the location or the environment, are met..”
“specific conditions?”
“Yes, you and Sven fall into this category..”
An ordeal that can be triggered at any time, regardless of location or environment, as long as special conditions are met. Sven's trial trigger condition was as follows.
First, when you encounter a monster that cannot be hunted.
Second, when you are completely independent mentally.
Sven achieved all of the above conditions in the battle with Asteban, and soon took on the challenge and triumphantly won..
“So what about the ordeal?…….”
“The ordeal of Sven? As far as I know, it must have been hunting non-standard monsters..”
As soon as Noah's answer was over,.
Sven, who was on top of the magic circle, suddenly pricked up his pointy ears. After a while, he approached the two and tilted his head as if in doubt..
“what? how do you know that?”
“That's because I've played the original countless times..”
“……ah.”
Sven immediately nodded..
As if I remembered something I forgot.
Then he added an additional explanation to the story Noah had just explained..
“that's right. He looked like a grotesque deer, but he was strong enough to be on a completely different level from the beasts I've dealt with so far..”
“oh, it was that hard?”
“Yes, if I hadn't gained combat experience in Sulfern, I would have been hunted on the contrary..”
Recalling the time, Sven clenched his fists. It was well sharpened like a sharp knife, with very sharp eyes..
Facing this, Ibella gave a nervous face and swallowed dry saliva unintentionally. After finishing the story, Sven headed back to the magic circle..
A situation where only the two of us are left.
Ibela, lost in thought for a moment, soon turned to Noah and asked cautiously..
“hey noah.”
“why?”
“Can I ask about my condition? So, the conditions under which the Trial of the Hero is triggered?.”
“yeah, of course.”
Noah nodded happily..
Anyway, I've already met the first condition, and it's much better to be like this than to be nervous all the time..
“There are two trigger conditions:.”
first. When you reach the stage right before the master.
second. When overcoming the crisis of death line.
Ibella's Trial of the Hero will only be activated after all of these conditions are satisfied..
“In the event of a crisis……?”
“It means passing the ordeal of death.”
So, in the original work, Ibella is usually on the side of challenging trials on the battlefield. This was similar to the situation we are currently facing..
Ulan's party was currently fighting the Abyss and the cultists of the desert..
“That's all I can tell you, but sooner or later Yvella will be up for the challenge. So there's no need to be in a hurry.”
“Yeah, thank you for comforting me.”
Ibella smiled lightly..
with a better look.
After that conversation, Noah looked at the magic circle where Ulan and the others were, and suddenly let out a low sigh..
‘I know enough about the trials of the seven warriors to relieve the person concerned, but…….’
Because I couldn't solve my problems.
An ordeal that did not exist in the original work. It is the eighth hero's trial. Remembering his situation, Noah sighed repeatedly..
‘Also, after entering and exiting Zhartum's tomb, there is no news about it..’
System message not appearing.
For some reason, Noah frowned as he felt like someone was being dragged around..
like you don't like it.
However, the idea did not last long.
“Eh? what.”
“the light is disappearing?”
Just like Perticia said, the magic circle where Ulan and the others stood gradually lost its light. Soon after all the light disappeared, a new abnormality occurred..
flash!
With the explosion of light, a bluish door appeared on the wall in front. Seeing this, Baekrang quickly moved to the door and looked back at the group..
[purr! greung!]
like what you say.
Perticia, who listened closely, interpreted Baekrang's words and relayed them to the party..
“Those who prove their qualifications as heroes can cross this door and head to a separate space..”
“what? wait, that's…….”
“So what about Noah and Ibela??”
Laurea asked in surprise..
According to the interpretation Pertisia just delivered, the only ones who could go beyond the gate were those who had proved their qualifications as heroes, that is, warriors who had passed the ordeal..
On the other hand, she is afraid to finish her words..
Noah shook his head..
“Don't worry we're fine.”
“that's right. Our body can protect itself.”
“I'm really fine?”
However, contrary to their answers, Laurea was not quick to reassure her..
After all, if Ulan and his party go inside the tomb, they will be left behind with Muak and other cultists in the desert..
then.
[mow! Aaaaaaaa!]
[hey hey profit!]
A mysterious bird and a poisonous snake that suddenly screams.
Soon, Perticia's eyes turned round..
“ah! These children are also staying here. So don't worry and tell me to go.”
As long as the Divine Beast, Ludrick's family remains, safety will be guaranteed. Because they recognized Ulan as their new master.
“i get it. then leave it to me.”
At Ulan's words, the monster bird flapped its wings..
As if to say don't worry and go.
“Be careful, Ulan..”
“don't push yourself too hard.”
While being sent off by Ibella and Noah, the six warriors, including Uhlan, stood in front of the door leading to the tomb of Kazan Rudric..
and at that moment.
flash!
With another flash of light, Ulan and the others disappeared as if they were being sucked through the door..
After a while, the space left by Noah and Evela was stained with a heavy sense of desolation. As if no one ever existed.
