The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 311
65page. interview (2)
2.
「It's time to say goodbye.」
Zartum remains in the desert for the record, while Artina must return to the forest to make an arrangement..
Einer also had to leave the desert and find a place where spirit veins exist, and Kazan also had to search for candidates that could be a new door to the abyss..
In other words, this is the place of farewell).
The other colleagues also looked back at each other as if they had intuited this, and their dim eyes shined. The first to speak was Zhartoum..
「It's been fun. There were many painful incidents, but the memory of fighting against the abyss with everyone is the greatest pride in my life..」
A candid tone of voice, as if clearing away regrets.
A soft smile crept across his wrinkled lips. It was a smile that made the viewer feel some unknown warmth..
「Yes, I was also happy to meet you. The years spent in the desert I will probably never forget until the day I die..」
「that's right. I especially enjoyed getting to know Kazan. Except for her sister or her people, she made me know her joy of being together when I was always alone..」
Artina and Einer also looked back at everyone and recalled their memories with a smile..
When everyone left a word like that.
Kazan also opened his tightly closed mouth..
「I am…….」
However, the sudden strong wind blew, and I couldn't hear what he said behind his back..
However, judging from the smiles on the faces of everyone who met Kazan, it didn't look too different from the other goodbyes I said earlier..
「Then I wish you all success.」
Soon the wind died down, and Kazan's words were heard again. He gently wrapped his arms around everyone's shoulders and his eyes shone like stars..
「For the comrades who perished in the last fight. for a fight that's not over yet.」
The moment of farewell, four heroes hugging each other.
As a signal, the wind blew.
The wind that blew through the desolate desert grew stronger and quickly turned into a sandstorm, sweeping away the place where the four people were..
some time after that.
After the wind died down, the heroes disappeared without a trace. And as the light that colored the mural disappeared, the video finally announced its end..
The silence settled down as heavy as the darkness that enveloped the space again. Around the time when only the quiet desolation lingered, Ulan's voice broke the silence..
“is it over?”
“……uh? Yes.”
“I guess so.”
I injected magic power again, but the spell engraved on the mural did not activate. It must have been a spell to replay the video only once..
“Ugh, my head is complicated.”
“phew, that's it.”
Perticia frowned and clutched her head, and Ian let out a deep sigh..
It was because my head was confused by the records left by Kazan Rudric and the heroes I came across suddenly..
“I wish I had Noah.”
Laurea murmured, and everyone in the party nodded in agreement. Then, suddenly, Dillia pursed her lips..
“However, this much is certain.”
“huh? which one?”
“That our, their, purpose, coincide.”
To fight against the abyss and win.
That much I knew for sure. The others in the party also nodded in agreement. At the same time, the complicated expression got better..
It was simply because of the fact that the purpose was the same, and the worry was lightened. After recovering their minds, the group looked back at each other..
“Anyway, what do I do now??”
“Well, I think it would be good to join Noah again for now..”
“Me too, I agree. We will have to pass on the information we just saw..”
Dillia nods at Ian's words..
Presumably, it seemed that the purpose of coming to this space had already been achieved. After the video ended, the proof was that nothing happened..
“Then I'll have to find a way out..”
After answering, Laurea looked around. However, it was difficult to find an exit through these methods alone. In the first place, this place was full of darkness unless it was the light emitted by Baekrang..
“Do you know where the exit is?”
That is why Perticia asked Baekrang indirectly. but no answer came back.
Instead, Baekrang jumped out of his seat and moved to Ulan and circled around him..
“hmm? Do I have any business?”
When Ulan tilted his head at the unexpected action, a sudden change occurred..
Flash! aaaaaaa!
A pure white light soared around Baekrang and colored the surrounding area. Everyone in the party closed their eyes at the sudden phenomenon..
“wow!”
“What, what? suddenly…….”
Fortunately, the anomaly did not last long.
After a short time of about ten seconds passed, the light slowly went out. But when I opened my closed eyes again, an unexpected sight came into my field of vision..
“uh?”
Pertisia blinks her eyes.
It wasn't just her. Dillia and Laurea, Ian and Sven also made blank faces..
there is only one reason.
It was because Ulan and Baekrang, who had been in front of me until just now, had disappeared..
“……Ulan?”
Dillia blurted out his name..
However, there was no voice returning, and the tomb, where the light had disappeared, began to be filled with black darkness again..
3.
Meanwhile around that time.
Good news has arrived to the Desert Church, which has been driven to the edge of the cliff by the front line being pushed back day by day due to the imperial army advancing with great momentum..
“report!”
“It is said that the warriors of the Order successfully counterattacked at the entrance of the gorge and drove the imperial army out.!”
“Currently in a standoff at the canyon entrance.”
The elders of the church breathed a sigh of relief at the report of the messengers who arrived one after another..
“Whoa, good luck.”
“That's it. At one time, I was worried about what would happen if I came into the canyon.…….”
canyon in the desert.
Boasting a maze-like topography, this is where the headquarters of the religious order is located..
At first, I was prepared to fight to the death with the imperial army, but now I don't have to..
“You are also a giant.”
The key to the success of this counterattack.
It was thanks to the giant's army.
The giants who came to the ground under the command of the Lord of the Abyss, the Giant King Largtan, stopped the advance of the Imperial army at once and inflicted great damage on the wizards of the Mage Tower..
The good news wasn't all.
The news that the elites who were once put into the excavation work of the Tower of Zartum are also joining the frontlines one after another has been conveyed by the messenger who has additionally arrived..
“Haha, at this rate, it would be possible to completely drive the Imperial army out of the desert..”
“Furthermore, it may be possible to conquer the outside of the desert, which has been a long-cherished wish of the church..”
“It's all thanks to the teacher.”
Elders exchanging conversations with smiling faces.
The leader of the Desert Church, Arena Rudrick, who was in the same room, smiled silently. But he didn't smile at all..
‘……cunning old people.’
she knew.
When he went to an audience with Largtan in the underground temple of the sanctuary, he knew how incompetent and despised he was by the elders..
That's why it was truly hateful to see the elders change their attitude like turning their palms as soon as the war situation improved..
‘If you drive out the imperial army and receive more power from the master in the future, then…….’
I'll take care of them all, starting with those old people..
Furthermore, after absorbing all of their forces, I will stand at the pinnacle of the church's unique power..
That's how Arena kept the dagger deep in his heart and laughed as if he didn't know anything..
then.
“I will report to the principal!”
There was someone who found the command barracks.
A newly arrived messenger. Upon discovering them, Arena shone in her eyes..
It was because, presumably, they recognized that they were messengers from the headquarters of the Church, not from the canyon front facing the Imperial Army..
“Confirmed that the divine beasts who left the headquarters and disappeared have returned.”
If this is good news, it is good news..
If Rudrick's followers and religious believers also participate in the battle, the Desert Church will be able to drive the Imperial Army out of the desert..
However, the messenger's reaction was a little strange..
Even though I delivered news that could be said to be good news, I felt restless for some reason. At this sight, Arena immediately threw a question..
“Do you have any other reports to tell me??”
“that, that…….”
The messenger who jumps in amazement as if he has been stabbed.
After a while, he took a deep breath and brought out the undelivered report..
“It is said that divine beasts have been seen with Muak Rudric..”
“what, what……?”
The moment the messenger's report ended.
Arena's eyebrows furrowed..
While the other elders were also showing puzzled expressions as if they were surprised by the unexpected news, the messenger's report continued..
“That, and not only that! It was found that the daughter of the previous leader who left the desert last spring, Syrpi Rudric, was also with him..”
“……!?”
Sirpi Rudric.
A direct blood relative of Kazan Rudric, the ancestor of the Desert Church. However, apart from him, he is an unfortunate being who is not born with any talent..
Still, the fact that he was a direct blood relative was enough to make him a candidate for the next religious leader, and he was a person with considerable justification just for his existence..
that she came back?
Together with the missing Shinsoo?
While he was fixated on this news, a sudden speculation flashed through Arena's mind..
‘no way…….’
Wouldn't he be trying to acknowledge Sirpi as the owner of the church now? An out-of-the-box guess. Arena unknowingly crumpled her face..
‘never be like that!’
No matter how much the god's will is, you can't follow it. He couldn't be completely deprived of all the power and power he had cultivated so far..
Even if it meant turning Shinsoo into an enemy, he couldn't give up the position of the leader. So Arena opened her mouth with her cold face.
“……As a teacher, I will give you an order.”
“yes i will listen.”
“Go back to the headquarters right now and bring back the heads of Muak Rudric and Syrpi Rudric..”
“……!”
The messenger opened his eyes wide..
In fact, it was an order that was expected to some extent from the time I delivered this news. just had a problem.
“Ha, but if that happens, a battle may break out against the Shinsoo..”
If you approach the two recklessly in a situation where it is uncertain whether the Shinsoo chose Syrpy, you may end up fighting the Shinsoo just like the messenger said..
In that case, it would be difficult to achieve the purpose of the Arena with only troops stationed at the headquarters. Around the time I continued to refute like that.
【i will go.】
Opposite exit from command barracks.
A dark, heavy voice came.
Soon the command barracks were pushed back, and soon a figure larger than the barracks appeared..
“……!”
A presence that scatters considerable intimidation with just a voice. At his appearance, not only Arena but also the elders opened their eyes wide..
【the answer is?】
The commander who leads the giant army.
It was Assault Captain Albaric..
As if he had just returned from the front line, his whole body smelled of blood. Overwhelmed by that figure, Arena swallowed her dry saliva..
“Ha, but this is church work…….”
answered right away.
Even if I thought about it, I decided that it was right to solve this problem in the church itself. Then Albaric asked with a twitch between his brows..
【Are you not going to allow it??】
“Huh, permission! Please stop talking nonsense, my master's servant..”
Arena, startled, lowered his head..
Technically, of course, she could have commanded Alvaric. Because she was given the right to do so by Largtan..
However, she was not strong enough to give orders to the King of Giants. Seeing him come out in a low profile, Albaric opened his mouth again..
【Then it's me to go.】
After answering, he looked in the direction of the main mountain..
It was with fiercely sparkling eyes.
【I just happened to have a business there.】
Albaric muttering meaningful words.
Meanwhile, in the direction he was walking, there was another being besides him..
Big eyeballs floating in the air.
It gazed at Albaric as if observing it, but soon disappeared as if it melted into thin air. Then, the outside of the barracks was enveloped in silence again..
