The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 333

8.
After all the monsters in the abyss were reduced to ashes due to Ulan's efforts,.
The sanctuary of the Desert Church, where the news was delivered, was literally turned upside down..
“Report to the school principal!”
“Imperial forces break through the gorge! We are currently marching towards our sanctuary.!”
“……!?”
Report of messengers from the front line.
At the unexpected sad news, not only the religious leader, Arena Ludrick, but also the elders did not hide their puzzled expressions..
“what, what?”
“why the imperial army…….”
It was with eyes full of disbelief.
It was a natural reaction.
The monsters of the abyss summoned by Arena Ludrick were estimated to be in the tens of thousands..
Each one of them is stronger than the warriors of the desert. Even if luck were to break through the army, it would take a considerable amount of time..
“Did you see it wrong??”
“That's right! Does it make sense that the gorge has already been breached when a legion with so many forces has gone to the front??!”
However, the reality reported by the messenger was different..
It took only half a day for the army of tens of thousands of monsters to break through..
Besides, it's only natural that you don't believe that all the monsters have been wiped out..
“I didn't see it wrong!”
“I saw it with my own two eyes!”
Meanwhile, the messengers shook their heads violently, as if not. Then, suddenly, his blood-stained face licked his trembling lips..
“……there was a monster.”
“what? monster?”
an unexpected word.
The elders asked in a puzzled tone..
“A monster, who are you talking about??”
“Oh, are you the masters of the empire??”
“Or a mage tower?”
Five Swords of the Empire. and the magic tower.
The old enemies who have repeatedly prevented the Church from advancing out of the desert. They deserve to be called monsters..
The elders speculated about the existence of the monster the messenger had spoken of. On the other hand, the messenger shook his head as if he was wrong this time..
“They are monsters worse than that.!”
“……what?”
The elders twitched their eyebrows..
I had never heard of a monster worse than the masters of the Empire and the wizards of the Mage Tower..
The only possibility is that it could refer to a member of Rudrick's family who did not recognize Arena Rudrick as the next leader, in other words, a divine beast..
However, the messengers belonging to the Desert Church will not use the expression monster when referring to a divine beast..
When the elders pondered over this,.
Arena Rudric, who had been silent until now, opened his tightly closed mouth..
“Please tell me in detail. about that monster.”
“Ah old! that, so…….”
Was I taken aback when he suddenly spoke to me??
The messengers hesitated for a moment, then regained their composure and described what they had seen..
“There were a total of eight men and women, each with a power comparable to that of the Master..”
“The Legion of Abyss, given by the cult leader, disappeared in an instant by their hands. Even before the masters of the empire joined in.!”
eight unidentified men and women.
Nothing is known about where he came from or where he belonged. All I could grasp was that each individual possessed tremendous power..
“Among them, there was a strong man who was presumed to have the rank of an archmage.!”
“She was a silver-haired girl, and with a single spell, thousands of monsters were killed in one blow.…….”
Repeated detailed reports.
If the messengers' words were true, it was only natural that the monsters of the abyss would be annihilated. The moment when the faces of the elders gradually hardened in the dark situation.
“no i can't believe it.”
Arena suddenly intruded into the conversation..
She glared at the messengers, scattering her eyes of bitter disbelief..
“It really doesn't make sense to say that such strong people appeared all at once.!”
“school, teacher.”
“but it's really true…….”
“no! I must have seen it wrong.”
Arena shook his head resolutely..
with a somewhat obsessive expression.
There was a reason for everything.
If the messengers are not mistaken, if the Legion of the Abyss was really wiped out, they would have no face to see her master, Largtan..
‘If this fails again…….’
All powers may be taken away and abandoned by the disappointed Largtan..
As the fear amplified, Arena's voice became more hysterical..
“So go back and take a closer look. If you report the same thing this time…….”
I will punish you then.
Arena meant to say that.
But at that moment.
【maybe it's true.】
I heard whispers as deep as the abyss.
A voice so creepy that it tingles.
At the same time, an overwhelming energy pressed down on the body along with a loud trembling of the ground. A huge shadow soon fell over Arena's body..
【Currently, beings chosen by the will of the stars have arrived in the desert. To deal with them, the monsters of the abyss won't have a jaw.】
Giant King Largtan.
He who had not come out of the sanctuary's basement had appeared on the surface..
Arena's face turned pale in an instant at his sudden appearance..
“Wow, my king! What happened here…….”
frightened face.
Could it be that he believed the messengers' report and came to reprimand himself??
Arena trembled like an aspen tree and looked up at Largtan. And before long his lips trembled.
【now the time has come.】
But what he brought up was a completely different story..
Arena asked with a tilt of his head..
“yes? What do you mean?”
Seeing the puzzled arena, Largtan looked at the southern sky..
desert canyon. It was in the same direction that Ulan and his party had subdued the monsters of the abyss. Afterwards, Largtan let out a vague mutter..
【The true nemesis, who has always fought against me in the repeated timelines for near eternity, is heading towards this place..】
Right after the incomprehensible words.
I felt the earth rumble again..
thud! thump thump! Whoops!
Vibration from underground.
What appeared soon after was the army of giants under the command of Largtan..
“ugh ugh!”
“this, what is this…….”
Arena and the elders took a backward step as if their spirits were being suppressed by the army of giants, five or six times larger than normal humans..
On the other hand, Largtan quietly opened his mouth while standing at the head of the army..
【The stranger's ghost, which remained in the world and wandered in the cracks of time, was scattered into the air, and as a result, the repeated time no longer repeats itself.―.】
Largtan paused for a moment..
At that time, a giant warrior came with a large axe. A large ax that glows red like blood. it was his weapon.
Naturally accepting this, Largtan lightly swung the ax he hadn't touched in a while. Then he smiled and said.
【This time is the time to put an end to a battle that has always been win-lose..】
A side note of the incident, Ulaanbaatar.
Remembering his existence, Largtan's eyes gradually turned black. As dark as the void that exists in the bottomless pit of the abyss.
9.
After subduing all the monsters of the abyss.
The Ulan party marched towards the Sanctuary of the Desert Church following Istan leading the Imperial Army..
the start was smooth.
The Imperial Army, which had the experience of moving the front line countless times, naturally began preparing for the move this time, and started the march without any difficulties..
some time after that.
As the day fell and night fell in the desert, the imperial army stopped marching and began preparing for camp..
When the preparations were finished, Istan called Ulan and his party to the command barracks. There was something to discuss about the future..
“Commander, the guests have arrived..”
After a not short time has passed.
Ulan's party arrived at the barracks. Muak and Sirfi of the Desert Church were also there. Conversely, in the command barracks, there were only Istan and Theoric..
It is because Barca, the sword of the north, has not yet recovered from his injuries, and Rimer refuses to attend, saying that he has nothing to talk about with those who have violated the imperial order..
A place where everyone gathered except for a few who had a reason. Soon after, Istan, the one who summoned the Ulan party, opened his tightly closed lips..
“I'm sorry to call you because you must be tired. I have something to check on for a while..”
“yes? if confirmed……?”
“I heard the other day that it would take about three days to reach the destination. Is that reliable information??”
“exactly. sure.”
At that time, there was someone who answered before Noah..
Muak Rudrick. Candidate of the religious leader, who will serve as a guide to the sanctuary together with Syrupy..
“Although there are conditions.”
“condition? what is that?”
“In order to arrive within three days, it is possible to move without rest. If you move while resting like now, you will arrive at your destination in five days..”
As Muak added an additional explanation, Istan's eyebrows twitched for an instant. Because this was information I hadn't heard before..
Then, after answering, Muak looked back at Seorik and continued..
“There's no room for delay.”
“um, i agree with that…….”
“We can't give them time to prepare. In particular, there is a variable called Giant King Largtan, so we must arrive at the sanctuary as soon as possible..”
A somewhat impatient expression.
I'll do just that.
Muak peeped at the tomb of Kazan Rudric, a record of a thousand years ago and an aspect of the truth..
He also fully felt the terrifying power of Albaric, a member of the giant's family. That's why I realized how big of a threat the existence of the giant king is..
“So right now…….”
“I know what you mean. However, you can't just continue the forced march..”
As Muak continued to argue, a cold voice cut him off..
It was Istan. Pointing outside the barracks, he briefly explained why he couldn't follow Muak's opinion..
“Currently, the soldiers are exhausted from repeated battles. Forcing a march in such a situation would only have the opposite effect..”
Istann's words were not wrong..
Muak shut his mouth, perhaps realizing that it was difficult to force himself. Meanwhile, this time, Seoric came up with a new opinion..
“There are other ways.”
“what is that?”
“Uhlan cadets and other master-level strongmen form a separate unit and move..”
so-called elite minority.
Those who have reached the level of masters have several times more physical strength than ordinary people..
So, like the Imperial Army, they must be able to march without having to camp every time..
“Then it can arrive in three days.”
“I bet it is. but it can't be.”
Then, the objection came back..
Noah's voice. Seeing Noah's sudden intervention, Seoric asked in a puzzled tone..
“hmm? why?”
“That's because the opponent is Largtan..”
Seriously shining blue eyes.
On the other hand, Seorik tilted his head..
It was natural. Because the answer I just heard wasn't enough. Then, instead of answering, Noah turned to Ulan and asked.
“Ulan would know, right? What did I just mean when I said this?.”
“Yes.”
Ulan silently nodded..
Afterwards, while facing the eyes of everyone looking back at him, he fell into reminiscence in silence. Then she recalled memories of her past life..
The reason why the warriors who fought against the giant king had no choice but to be seriously injured. Furthermore, the reason why he had no choice but to remain in the giant's cave alone..
About the 'trap' set by Largtan.
