The Barbarian of the Academy - Chapter 323
67page. the eighth warrior (3)
4.
Faced with an angry Albaric.
The warriors moved in perfect order according to Noah's plan. The first among them to act was the paladin Ian Marcus..
“Holy Ghost! keep your servant!”
A shield wrapped in pure divine power.
The moment Ian held out his shield to stop Albaric, Ibella, who had fully recovered from Laurea's prayer, grabbed hold of her sword..
“…….”
Eyes sharpened like a hunter aiming for prey. Knowing this or not, Albaric let out a loud roar..
【Don't crush me! you rats!】
Like a shout reverberating through the hall, his ax flew with terrifying force. At the same time, the ax and shield collided violently..
Aaaaaaang―!
Loud explosion. What followed was a powerful shockwave that swept through the surroundings..
“kyaaak!”
“Kut! what kind of wind……!”
Wind pressure with a cloud of dust.
The wind was so strong that Syrpy and Muak, who were quite far from the battlefield, were pushed all the way back..
If this was such a shock, Ian would have been cornered like Ibella from earlier. Syrpy looked beyond the dust with eyes mixed with concern..
However, the result was unexpected.
“……!”
Syrpy and Muak wide-eyed.
Ian, who came into their sight, was only pushed back about five steps from where he had been, and nothing else changed..
Kagagagak! kagak!
Rather, Albaric's ax was held by a shield to prevent it from advancing any further. Even the desert warriors were surprised by this sight..
“I blocked that?”
“With just that small a shield?”
I was just surprised.
Ian's shield was small compared to Albaric's axe, like a toy..
but they didn't know.
Ian's shield is actually not an ordinary shield, but the strongest shield belonging to one of the three holy objects that the Holy Kingdom is proud of..
In addition, Ian was currently pouring all the divine power into the shield according to Noah's instructions. That's why I was able to block Albaric's offensive..
“now!”
And at that moment, using Ian's cry as a signal, Ibella, who had been waiting behind the shield, rushed out like lightning..
She narrows the area in an instant.
Before Albaric could even pick up the axe, Ibella, who had come close to him, furiously poured out swords that shone golden..
Her sword is targeting her left eye.
This is where Noah's vital point is..
Kwajik! Wooddeuk!
The metal eyepatch that covered his left eye was shattered by the fierce sword attack..
Did you realize the situation too late??
Albaric, who was busy pushing Ian, suddenly hurriedly twisted his posture. There is only one purpose. It was to block Ibella's sword attack..
【do nonsense!】
The ax, which turned in an instant in the air, aimed at Ibella, but was unable to hit her as he had initially intended..
Whoa! Huung!
It was because Ibella, who noticed the attack a step earlier, quickly pulled herself out..
Effortlessly avoiding the attack, she hid herself behind Ian's shield again, and Albaric, missing Ibella in vain, crumpled his face..
【such a rat!】
A roar spilled from Alvaric's mouth..
Meanwhile, Ian's eyes widened. It was because Ibela realized that she had dodged his attacks within Albaric's realm..
“Did you just dodge the attack?…….”
“That's right. over the wall.”
“Haha, Ulan would be happy to know.”
Ian gave a pleasant smile at the fact that she had reached the level of a master..
Evelyn nodded silently..
Like what Ian just said, if it was Ulan, it was clear that he would be happy and congratulate him..
‘but before that…….’
I have to do something first.
To defeat the Albaric in front of me. I wanted to prove my qualifications to stand by Ulan's side by subjugating the King of Giants along with other warriors..
By the time Ibella's eyes were burning.
Alvaric's behavior suddenly changed..
【It's annoying, so don't just get rid of it all at once!】
The guy with an ax and a shield in each hand began to hit the ground like crazy..
The earth shakes with a thump.
When the warriors were puzzled by the unexpected action, Pertisia's face suddenly turned pale..
“……what? that's true?”
Pertisia asks back into the air.
The reason she was so startled was the words the earth spirit had just whispered. Afterward, Pertisha relayed what she had just heard to her party..
“Uh, we have to stop it! Sooner or later the ground might collapse.!”
“……!?”
Albaric's goal was simple..
After collapsing the ground with tremendous strength, the warriors lose their balance and try to take advantage of the staggering moment to strike them all at once..
It was an ignorant tactic that only the giants could come up with..
‘A bit earlier than originally planned……!’
Still, there was no time for delay..
Noah scattered the talisman into the air with a hard face. Then he quickly chanted the technique he had prepared..
[alarm]
*21Burn reduction skill, activation
*Advanced Witchcraft: 【Restrictions (束縛符))】
―Binds a specific target using the demon dwelling in the amulet.
Amulets that quickly turn to ashes.
After a while, an intangible chain came out from where the amulet disappeared and wrapped around Albaric's arms and legs..
Charleureuk! Whirik! click!
Albaric temporarily stopped acting.
The group kicked the ground all at once..
Seeing the warriors running towards him, Albaric frowned..
【under! Just an occasional trifle―!】
Albaric sneered and severed the chains with all his strength. However, Dillia's magic poured through the gap created by that..
Strategic Magic, Extreme Nova (極新星)).
And that's not all. The divine strike that Laurea was preparing also hit Albaric..
【this doesn't work for me!】
Despite the feast of angry attacks, Albaric resisted with a steadfast swing of his axe..
But maybe it was because I was distracted by magic, there was something I didn't notice. That there is a shadow approaching him at high speed.
It was the hunter, Sven Isaac..
Sven, who had successfully approached Albaric, immediately poured out all the arrows he had loaded in advance, just as Noah had instructed..
Parbat! baba baba bak!
Arrows pierce through magic and pour like heavy rain.
It was a blow of conversion that gave a territory to each one. However, Albaric did not panic in the sudden attack and raised his shield..
【Did you know that arrows would work for me?!】
Immediately after completely blocking all arrows.
Albaric shouted in ridicule. But in the process he made a mistake..
Not checking Sven's location right away.
It was a mistake he had made to assume that he would have taken a step back after he shot the arrow..
【───?!】
Albaric's eyes widened..
It was because Sven, who thought he had retreated, climbed up on his body like a squirrel climbing a tree..
【this worm―!】
Seeing the unexpected sight, Albaric hurriedly tried to grab Sven. But Sven reached his destination far ahead of that..
Sven's destination is Albaric's crown.
Stepping on the smooth scalp, Sven took off and fell down with a natural somersault..
And in the process, he aimed his bow at Albaric's left eye, whose eye patch was broken..
“I can't avoid it.”
There is no gap to avoid in the first place.
In the state where the hunter's realm was spread out, an arrow that had been granted an area flew away. And as Sven intended, it hit Albaric's eyeball..
【Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa―!】
At that moment, Albaric collapsed clutching his left eye. He's so easy it's hard to believe that he's a warrior who's just been fighting against all sorts of magic..
When screams filled with terrible pain rang out, the group including Noah immediately kicked off the ground and ran away..
It was to subdue Albaric, who was in a groggy state, and smash his head. But suddenly I heard the sound of footsteps..
“Wait! I can't approach you!”
“what?”
“what is that all of a sudden?”
“Something is coming. A very gloomy, reluctant, very dangerous being.!”
The identity of the voice is none other than Pertisia.
She blocked the way with a face that had turned considerably pale. She couldn't understand what she was saying, so the moment she tried to ask.
“me, look that way!”
Perticia pointed at Albaric..
Then, the other party members reflexively turned their gazes, and soon each one opened his or her eyes wide, no matter who said it first..
“……!?”
The sight unfolding before the eyes of the group.
It was pitch-black darkness rising from Albaric's shadow. The darkness quickly took the form of numerous hands and wrapped around Albaric..
The moment I confirmed this, Sven, who was relatively close, also hurriedly backed away..
Just by looking at it, instinct threw a warning. I don't know what that is, but I'd never go too far.
“that's alternative…….”
In particular, the faces of Ian and Laurea, who possess divine power, were more hardened than the other colleagues..
Then Dillia turned to Noah..
“I know what it is, what it is?”
“that…….”
But Noah couldn't answer..
It was natural. Because it was the first time she saw her too.
Then, suddenly, a memory flashed through my mind. These are the words that Ulan, who entered the abyss by helping Perticia through trials in the past, told me..
「Beyond the abyss, there exists a new enemy that has not been seen in the past life. A monster in the shape of countless palms.」
A monster in the shape of countless palms.
This was an appearance similar to the unknown darkness that currently wrapped around Albaric's body. Recalling this, Noah muttered with her eyes wide open..
“The new enemy I was talking about back then…….”
are you pointing to that?
The moment I suddenly had such a guess.
“Back off everyone! I will cut!”
Ian stepped forward..
Soon, an aura of blinding white light radiated from the sword he was holding, and soon it began to grow to a size of 10 meters..
‘Holy Wheeil Sword).’
Holy Sword Cardaron's Inherent Ability.
A divine blade made by pouring divine power relentlessly. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is the ultimate swordsman possessed by the paladin Ian..
‘However, you cannot overuse the Holy Whistle Sword..’
As much as it consumes most of its holy power, after using it once, its physical strength and mental strength are on the verge of depletion..
However, to use it would be to judge those black hands as threatening..
“Holy Ghost! condemn evil!”
The divine sword falling towards Albaric.
But at that moment, the hands wrapped around Albaric wrapped around the holy sword. Then something unexpected happened.
“……!?”
“Seo, Seongwheeil Sword……!”
Aura scattered in the air.
Ian's blow of conversion disappeared so easily that it was futile. And to make matters worse, Albaric took advantage of this to complete his recovery..
【heuuuuu―.】
Albaric staggers, clutching his left eye.
After a while, he got up from his seat and smiled as he was still wrapped in countless hands..
【Heh, heh! ha ha ha ha!】
A frenzy that will soon scatter in the air).
Black magic flowed steadily from Albaric's left eye. Magic that makes you feel uncomfortable just by looking at it.
It was the magic of the abyss.
【Praise! The mighty king of the desert gave me the power of the abyss! Now he is able to fulfill the king's command again..】
Significantly different momentum from the beginning.
After a while, Albaric immediately kicked the ground without giving any signal. Soon after, he reappeared and the first thing he aimed at was Ian..
“……!”
Recognizing this a step later, Ian hurriedly poured his remaining holy power into the shield. And soon a fierce clash ensued..
Quagga gaga go! kwaaang!
Vibration accompanied by a loud roar.
But there was something different.
“Heck!”
“Lee, Ian!?”
Failing to block Albaric's ax.
As a result, Ian flew to the corner like a puppet with a thread cut off, and the party called and shouted Ian's name with a startled face..
‘I got too strong……!’
It is very different from the original.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this was almost equivalent to Largtan. But he couldn't help but react in amazement..
【next is you!】
Albaric's next target is Ybela..
Angry axes slashed at her, who had been hiding behind Ian's shield all along..
But at that moment, reinforcements appeared..
A fire kindled between Ibela and Albaric.
[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!]
It was Rudrick's family, a mysterious bird..
Taking advantage of Noah's party's time to buy time, the rogue bird, which recovered its magic, started a counterattack by scattering red flames..
The Venomous Snake that joined later also mercilessly bit Albaric's ankle, and thanks to this, the unstoppable offensive slowed down for a moment..
【OK! get rid of you guys first!】
Did I get irritated with repeated slander??
Albaric crumpled his face and swung his axe. But he couldn't part the body of the grotesque bird.
Kwadeuk! Wooddeuk!
It is because of the pain of teeth digging into the flesh, and the arm suddenly became heavy. Afterwards, what was reflected in Albaric's vision was a huge wolf with white fur..
[Grrrrr!]
It was the white wolf.
Meanwhile, Noah, who was watching this scene from afar, also widened his eyes..
While joining the other warriors, when asked about Ulan's whereabouts, Laurea replied:.
It is said that Ulan disappeared with Baekrang..
‘The fact that the white wolf appeared……!’
leads to only one conclusion.
When Noah's eyes grew bigger, Albaric pushed back White Rang and started attacking again..
【It would be cool to chew on this──!】
As if his eyes were half-turned, he tried to attack Rudrick's followers again..
But at that moment.
A flash of red that flew across the darkness hit Albaric's body as it were..
Quagga gaga go! bang! kwaaang!
It was none other than Albaric who flew away with a loud sound. The massive body, which could be six times the size of an adult, scratched the floor and crashed into a corner..
some time after that.
A familiar voice was heard from the center of the battlefield as the dust created by the collision dissipated..
“Sorry for late.”
“……!”
“From now on, I'm in charge. I've dealt with giants to the point where I'm sick of it in my past life..”
auburn hair tied back.
Bright crimson eyes that blazed like flames. At the appearance of a muscular man armed with twin axes, Noah shouted as if he had waited..
“Ulan!”
giant slayer.
The red-eyed barbarian has joined the battlefield.
