The Barbarian of the Academy - Chapter 321
67page. the eighth warrior (1)
1.
Largtan's family, Albaric.
In the original work, he is the assault leader in charge of the avant-garde of the giant corps, and is a strong man who has reached the level of a master with the body of a giant..
Just thinking back to what other players in the original game had to say about Albaric made it clear what a tricky opponent he was..
‘It was said that the lord of the undead, Asteban, possesses a fighting power similar to that of all twelve members gathered together..’
where is that?
The original Albaric is a monster that even Ulan struggled against several times. Maybe that's why Albaric boasted an intimidating presence just by appearing..
‘Of course it's a little different now.’
Ulan at this point is stronger than any round of the original. So, unlike the original, you should be able to defeat Albaric without struggling..
‘but the problem is…….’
That Ulan is not here.
The point is that you have to fight against Albaric even in the absence of other warriors..
That's why Noah gulped down dry saliva, keeping an eye on the sudden appearance of Albaric. Meanwhile, Noah wasn't the only one surprised by his appearance..
“giants, giants?”
“Why are they supposed to be in the canyon…….”
Like Noah, Ceoric and Limer also had a clear expression of bewilderment on their faces..
When all eyes come together.
The one-eyed giants opened their mouths..
【Tsk! Who wouldn't have thought they were rats, huddled together and hiding in a place like this?.】
voice of contempt.
As he was coldly scattering his one and only eye, someone suddenly stepped forward..
[Aww! Mower!]
[hey hey profit!]
Strange Birds and Venomous Snakes).
It was Rudrick's family. Seeing the two menacingly screaming, Albaric furrowed his brows as if he were full of energy..
【Where do beasts bound by an oath with a specter dare to stick their teeth in?.】
Albaric, who had uttered an angry voice, suddenly withdrew his anger. Then he flicked his fingers and twisted the corner of his mouth into a smirk..
【But from now on, you don't have to worry. Death is the mercy of my King, and now I will be freed from my old oath..】
When the mocking provocation was over, Goejo and Doksa growled, baring their teeth even more..
When such a tense confrontation continued.
【That's the end of the trivial chatter.】
Suddenly, Albaric's momentum changed..
He strode forward with his ax and shield in front. Then he let out a loud cry that echoed through the cave..
【Stormtrooper, Albaric! I condemn the enemies who invaded the holy desert according to the king's command.!】
As soon as the loud roar stopped, an area centered on him covered the battlefield..
area of about twenty steps.
However, since it was a step taken with the standard of the giants, the range was indeed considerable. Enough to devour the realm of normal human cognition..
and at that moment.
In the blink of an eye, Albaric rushed in, aiming for the monster bird and the poisonous snake. It was an agile movement that was hard to believe for a gigantic body..
Quagga gag gag! Quaang!
The ground was ground as it were, and a strong explosion swept through the hall. The gore and the poisonous snake immediately launched a counterattack as if they had no intention of being taken lightly..
A fierce battle soon began.
In the process, Ibella also wanted to join the Shinsoo and help her fight Albaric..
And Albaric, who noticed this, snorted with a cold expression..
【under! I don't even know a subject like a human!】
Albaric, who had a battle with his family, swung his ax at Ibella, who was facing him..
An ax flying through the air.
At that moment, Noah realized what Evela was up to and shouted urgently..
“I can't accept it! Ibella!”
“……!”
Immediately after recognizing Noah's warning.
Ibella twisted her sword instinctively, and as a result, Albaric's ax and hers narrowly passed each other..
However, in the process, a strong shock wave occurred, and Ibella, who had no place to escape, was swept away by the wind pressure..
“ah heuk!”
The body floating in the air was thrown out by the repulsive force. But she was fortunate enough to avoid being cornered..
[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!]
It was thanks to the rogue bird getting Ibella..
Thanks to this, Ybela, who had managed to balance herself, glared at Albaric while catching her breath. At the same time, he checked his condition..
‘……The trembling won't stop.’
Their arms just brushed against each other, but Ibella's hand trembled like an aspen..
What would have happened to him if he had recognized Noah's warning just a little too late, and had clashed arms with Albaric??
Ibella trembled..
‘But even so……!’
I can't help but fight.
So, just as I was about to catch my breath to get into the fight with Albaric again, the sound of a conversation between Muak and the desert warriors suddenly hit my ears..
“big boss!”
“Imperial bastards are gone!”
The desert warriors with a clear expression of bewilderment.
As they said, until recently, I couldn't see the figures of Ceoric and Limer who were on the opposite side..
it wasn't just the two.
Count Dermore and the fainted Barca disappeared without a trace. In response, Muak murmured as if swallowing a low moan..
“Looks like he ran away.”
“Kut! cowards!”
“Running away from the monster of the abyss……!”
At Muak's guess, the desert warriors couldn't hide their anger. Ibela, on the other hand, thought differently..
‘It's not cowardly, it's wise.’
masters of empire.
Their purpose was not to win the Abyss or the giants, but to save Perticia and get rid of the infidels..
In other words, he decided that it would be difficult to achieve his goal in this position and avoided the position..
‘And it's better not to have it.’
Of course, if they were together on the battlefield, it would have been helpful somehow. Even if Barca fainted, there were two Masters..
But the problem is Count Dermore.
Now that it is certain that he has become an apostle of the Abyss Lord, his remaining has done more harm than good..
‘so now…….’
It's time to focus on the battle in front of you, not them..
Having finished her judgment, Ibella brushed off the thoughts floating around in her head and took a breather..
On the other hand, he did not take his eyes off Alvaric, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Rudric's family..
“whoops, whoops!”
After keeping an eye on him and finding a gap, he planned to immediately spread the area and open up a sword attack..
then.
A familiar voice came from beside me..
“Isabella, it's okay.?”
girl with black hair and blue eyes.
It was Noah Darshen.
Seeing her anxiously asking about her condition, Ibella silently nodded..
“huh. I can still fight more.”
Now the shaking in my hands has subsided..
I also knew that I shouldn't clash swords hastily, so I planned to fight carefully from now on..
Noah, on the other hand, shook his head..
“no, you can't fight.”
“what? what does that mean…….”
“Don't ever think about fighting. In particular, it is better to throw away the thought of attacking the sword..”
I know that because I've been through it.
But why not fight? Ibella asked a question in a puzzled tone, and the answer came soon after..
“Our purpose isn't to win the fight, it's to make the most of our time.”
“buy time?”
“Yes, you and the giants are not compatible..”
Swordswoman, Ybela Elead.
Her sword is fast and accurate. Above all, the sword of foresight that flies through space is more threatening than any warrior's strike..
‘But it doesn't work on giants.’
The most important thing when dealing with the giants is neither the sword of detection nor the sword of speed. Overwhelming power that can match the mighty power of a giant.
If that's not enough, it's hard to win a battle against a giant. Even more so against a formidable foe like Albaric..
“So the only thing that can win a fight against it is the uhlan..”
Owner of unbelievable strength.
Furthermore, due to repeated use of the elixir, the current Ulan has become so strong that it is safe to say that he has the strength of a giant..
So, all Noah and Ybela had to do was to keep Albaric in check and buy time for Ulan to come..
“yeah i understand what you mean.”
Fortunately, Ibela followed Noah's advice..
Unfortunately, the situation has changed so much that it is not easy to simply buy time..
Kwajik! Aaaaaaang!
Loud roar created by collapsing walls.
It was the sound of a grotesque bird and a venomous snake slammed into a corner. The sight of this made Muak and Sirfi's eyes widen beyond description..
“three, oh my god…….”
“priest of the church……!”
A monstrous bird and a poisonous snake that fell without even moving.
Albaric, on the other hand, suffered burns all over his body, but was in relatively good shape..
He fixed the axe, activated the area with a roar again, and turned. Along with that, Noah and Ibela's eyes widened..
“……!”
It was because he realized that Albaric, who had cornered Rudric's people, was coming this way..
Immediately after recognizing the situation.
“Noah! Dangerous!”
Ibella hurriedly pushed Noah away..
But as if he had expected even that, Albaric's ax flew while changing its trajectory..
The moment she saw this, Ibela had a hunch.
‘I have to face it!’
Of course, it was obvious what would happen if an ax loaded with supernatural power was struck..
But if you don't counter it and let go of the attack or avoid it, Noah will suffer. I couldn't see that happening.
‘please……!’
I hope I can get the ax because it's good just once. I don't mind crushing my wrist, I hope I can save Noah!
Ibella gritted her teeth and aimed for Albaric's axe, and attacked her head-on..
Aaaaaaaang!
After the fleeting collision, a tremendous explosion erupted. Afterwards, Albaric's ax bounced half way away from Noah..
It was Evela's intention that succeeded..
But the price was horrendous.
“……!”
The landscape revealed after the dust has cleared.
Faced with this, Noah widened his eyes..
It was because Ibella, who had received Albaric's attack for herself, was cornered like Rudric's followers..
“Lee, Isabella……?”
I called out his name with a trembling voice, but there was no answer..
However, judging from the constant flow of dark red blood from Ibella's nose and mouth, it was clear that her condition was serious..
“Ahhh…….”
Incapacitated Rudric's Retinue.
Even Ibella, who lost her mind and collapsed.
Left alone in the worst situation, Noah slumped in his seat..
Then a huge shadow fell.
【Right. are you a stranger?】
A voice weighing heavily on the air.
It's Albaric's voice..
He approached Noah with an ax on his shoulder and spoke to him with a smirk..
【If you meet Kazan in the afterlife, give him his regards. All the tricks you used to do are meaningless!】
At the end of the shouts mixed with hate.
Albaric's ax fell on Noah.
quagga gaga gaga!
Ax flying with furious momentum.
The brutal blows unfolding within the realm were so fast that it was unrecognizable. So, without realizing it, Noah closed his eyes tightly..
Thinking that it might end like this.
But Noah's head was not split. Just before Albaric's ax touched Noah, a pure white shield blocked his path..
“Holy Ghost! keep your servant!”
A voice I heard somewhere evoked a loud prayer. The white shield that rose up at the same time deflected Albaric's ax..
【suddenly what―.】
Is it because of the sudden interruption??
Albaric's eyes twisted..
But it was still too early to express his anger. 'Cause there wasn't just one intruder.
Parbat! Papababababak!
The countless arrows embroidering the sky.
The arrows, each of which contained an aura, pierced Alvaric's body here and there, leaving scars..
That wasn't all.
The magic spell that was born on top of Albaric's head.
The magic of the stars, which had not been felt before, suddenly raged like a storm, and soon turned into a huge explosion and swallowed Albaric..
─────!
A silent explosion that follows.
Seeing this, Noah widened his eyes. Because he knows the identity of the magic that was just used..
“extreme nova)……!”
Star magic classified as strategic magic.
It is the same magic as the symbol of Dillia Arpen, one of the seven warriors. And the fact that the magic has been cast means only one thing.
It meant that those who had been waiting had returned..
“get behind me!”
“I'm here to save you, Noah.!”
Ian blocked the way as if protecting Noah.
Soon after, Perticia also followed Ian along with the spirits. Suddenly, a brilliant light surged up and enveloped Ibella..
“Leave Ibella to me.”
“laurea…….”
A miraculous divinity that heals everything.
Ibela's severely broken arms and legs quickly returned to normal..
Seeing this, Noah's face finally regained its color. The moment I thought it was all over, it was thanks to my colleagues who miraculously joined..
“From now on, it's our turn to repay.”
Then Dillia came to Noah's side..
She carved countless magic spells into the air and infused the magic of the stars. Then countless star cluster magic hit Alvaric like a bombardment..
As if announcing the beginning of a counterattack.
