a sudden battle.
However, the confusion did not last long.
The hero's party has always dealt with situations worse than this..
Even though three warriors suddenly lost consciousness and fell, the remaining warriors calmly engaged in battle with the giants..
how much did you fight?
“big!”
Ibella, who had been dealing with the giants for a while, flew backward while avoiding the giants' attack..
At this rate, it would be exposed to a series of attacks. but this was just a whim.
Kagagakak! Quaang!
The attack that came in through the gap she showed was blocked by a solid wall. It was the holy shield of the paladin Ian Marcus..
“are you okay?”
“Eh, thanks to you, I'm alive.”
Ybela, who managed to straighten her posture, raised her aura and wrapped it around her sword. Then she spread her territory once again and cut down the giants..
After clearing her rough breathing, she stood by Ian and Sven and opened her mouth, glaring at the giants still infested with them..
“I don't know if it's because of my mood.”
“……?”
“Somehow I don't think I'm stronger than the guys I faced earlier.?”
Now I've only cut down a few, but I feel like my stamina is already exhausted. Then Sven replied in a nonchalant manner as if he knew the reason..
“that's not natural The guys lying there earlier supported me in many ways..”
Where Sven's gaze landed.
There, Dillia, Laurea, and Perticia lay unconscious..
Not too long ago, the three warriors lost consciousness, vomiting blood out of nowhere right after Largtan's totems were scattered everywhere..
A situation that is presumed to have been subjected to an unknown curse different from the chain of the abyss.
As a result, the party of warriors lost their firepower, purification, and recovery power. So, of course, the fight is going to be tough..
“And there are other reasons too.”
“huh? for some reason?”
“It's just that Ulan isn't here..”
Right after the three warriors fell under the curse.
Largtan rushed towards the warriors in the blink of an eye. He knew what he was after. Trying to eliminate the three insane warriors.
But he couldn't achieve his goal.
This is because Ulan, who sensed the intent to kill in advance, kicked the ground ahead and succeeded in getting Largtan away from the warriors..
‘……Ulan.’
Recalling what had happened just a moment ago, Ibella looked beyond the darkness ahead with shaky eyes..
where her gaze is directed.
There, a battle that was completely different from the battlefield where the party was currently taking place was taking place..
Quagga gaga go! bang! Quaang!
A roar that shakes the heavens and the earth.
A fleeting moment so short as to blink an eye, followed by dozens of battles..
It was a crazy attack by Ulan and Largtan aiming for each other's neck..
【Now all the intruders are gone.】
After a hearty battle.
Suddenly, the corner of Largtan's mouth lifted. As if you are very satisfied with your current situation.
On the other hand, Ulan's face hardened..
“what did you do to my co-workers?”
that was natural.
After Largtan opened the totem, he witnessed the sight of Dillia, Laurea, and Perticia losing consciousness and collapsing..
To Ulan's question, Largtan responded lightly with a face that seemed insignificant..
【It's just that I've removed in advance any factors that might interfere with my battle with you. Divinity and magical power are elements that break Jim's concentration..】
In a word, it means that we have excluded warriors who could be in the way to focus on the battle against Ulan..
It could be assumed that the reason why the army of giants was left here was to prevent the intervention of Evela, Ian, and Sven..
“…….”
Ulan glanced in the direction of the other warriors with sunken eyes. But for a moment, he had no choice but to focus on fighting again..
It was because of the fierce attack.
【I won't have time to take a second look?】
As Largtan said.
Because he was an opponent you couldn't afford to be on your guard against.
So while Ulan exchanged battles with Largtan again, he tried to come up with a solution to solve the current situation in his head..
However, no matter how much I thought about it, the answer eventually came down to one thing..
‘Noah.’
A comrade left on the rift with the Imperial Army.
Things would be a lot easier if she came. Maybe we can find a way to solve the curse on the three warriors..
‘So buy time.’
Let's tie Largtan's feet as much as possible, hoping that Noah will come here. The moment Ulan made that decision in his mind.
【Are you planning on waiting for a stranger??】
I heard Largtan's voice.
It was a sharp whisper that pierced my heart.
【Of course, if you're from the same background as Kazan Rudric, you might be able to break Jim's curse. Because strangers have special powers.】
He added with a smirk as if he knew what Ulan was thinking..
【However, I do not recommend wasting time. As you already know, mere mortals cannot bear the curse of burden for long..】
not wrong.
The chains of the abyss that I had experienced in my previous life also confirmed that the cursed Laurea and Dillia's stamina quickly reached their limits..
If the other guys can't hold out until Noah comes, there's no point in wasting time.
Then there is only one thing to do.
‘take him down as fast as possible.’
immediately after making the decision.
Ulan's eyes changed..
And it wasn't just the eyes that changed. The atmosphere around him and the momentum he exudes have also become much more ferocious than before..
【okay! should come out like this.】
At this, Largtan burst into madness..
Like I really like the current situation. Then he aimed his ax at Ulan and let out a loud roar..
【Come with all your might, Ulaanbaatar!】
A loud cry as a signal.
Ulan and Largtan clashed again.
9.
Meanwhile at that time.
By the time everyone is focusing on their own battles. Sirfi Rudric also focused on his own fight..
The mission given to her is to interpret the identity of the curse placed on the three fallen warriors and figure out a solution..
“whoops, whoops!”
However, Shirpy was also not in good condition..
When the three heroes fell, she also felt an unknown headache. She didn't lose consciousness, of course..
Still, the bloodshot eyes made it clear that her condition was not normal..
some time after that.
Syrupy, who had been engrossed in fighting alone for a long time, suddenly opened her eyes..
“this, this formula!”
It is because he found out what the effect of the curse was through the magic given to the three. In response to Sirpi's reaction, Ian immediately asked a question..
“Did you find out what curse it is??”
“……Yes, this is a curse of the nature that turns mana into poison. The more magic or divine power you have, the more lethal it is..”
“Eh, turn magic into poison……?!”
Ian and Ibella's eyes widened..
Because only then did I understand.
Why did the three girls fall after receiving more damage from the curse than the other warriors?.
“then how can i treat it?”
“I haven't been able to figure it out so far. Currently, the most effective solution is to leave the place where the caster and fetish are buried..”
The fetish that Syrpy was referring to was the fragments of the totem spread by Largtan..
In other words, it means that the effect of the curse is weakened only when you leave the current location. I came up with my own solution, but the group's face was still dark..
“But to do that…….”
“Even if the giants are second, we'll have to get rid of that monster somehow..”
Giant King Largtan.
You can't get away from here unless you look away from him or tie him down..
However, when he was moaning because he couldn't think of a sharp number, Sven suddenly pricked up his ears. An urgent cry soon rang out..
“Avoid all! comes from above!”
“……!?”
The crack where the warrior party fell.
From above, dozens of giants were falling with their weapons pointed at them..
Seeing this, Ian quickly raised his shield and blocked the attack in time..
Quagga gag gag! kwaaaang!
Powerful impact that shakes the battlefield.
Ian gritted his teeth and endured it, and managed to save the three girls..
but there were other problems.
“kyaak!”
A cataclysmic earthquake accompanied by a violent collision).
The resulting shockwave hit the intestines, and the defenseless exposed Shirpy was caught up in it..
She, who had been rolling around like a doll with unraveled threads, arrived at the opposite side of the formation. In other words, it was in the middle of a battlefield teeming with giants..
“oops, avoid!”
“Ahhh…….”
Seeing her situation, Syrupy's body froze. His Ian's urgent cry was heard, but his feet hardly moved..
[aaaaaa!]
In the meantime, the attacks of the giants poured like lightning. Did you intuit death? Syrupi closed her eyes involuntarily..
but at that moment.
Kagagakak! kaaang!
I heard the sound of a knife sharpening an ax..
Someone was protecting Sirpy. However, as if he couldn't handle the strength of the giants, he was thrown back together with Syrupy, and was soon slammed into a corner..
“ugh! ah heuk!”
Amidst the white dust, Syrpy continued to cough. Her shock made her whole body shatter, but she was soon relieved..
Because the place he had flown from was where the other warriors were. The moment he looked away to see who had saved him.
Sylphy opened her eyes wide..
It was with a startling reaction.
“Lee, Isabella?!”
It was because the identity of the person who saved her was none other than Ybela. Meanwhile, there was no reply from Ibella..
I just spit out dark red blood.
“Evela! 4, hurt……!”
Her current condition was a mess..
His right arm and leg were bent in strange directions, and blood gushed out from his mouth. It was the price of receiving an attack from the giants to save Syrpie..
At this, Sirfi looked at Ibella with eyes mixed with confusion and bewilderment..
“why me…….”
Response not to understand.
That was natural. Syrpy has lied to Ibella for a long time, and even hid his identity as a pagan..
So, of course, I thought he was being hated. He actually barely talked to him even after he came to the desert..
That's why I didn't understand the current situation..
Why on earth did he want to protect himself even when he was in this situation? On the other hand, Ibella tried to answer Syrpi's question as follows..
「I don't know. Just, my body moved on its own.」
I just couldn't get it out of my mouth..
It's not because of the pain that hit the body. This answer I just came up with is half right and half wrong.
‘No, actually I know.’
The reason why he saved Syrupy even by throwing himself.
For a simple reason. She didn't want to see Sir Py die in front of her eyes..
Then why did you think that?
Syrpy hid everything, including his real name and origin, and lied..
‘that's probably…….’
'Cause I still consider her a friend.
this is the real reason.
Recalling her honest feelings, Ibella spit out the blood that filled her mouth, then looked up at Syrpy with half-blurred eyes..
“……You're the first friend I made after coming to the academy, so I just couldn't let you die in front of my eyes..”
“Lee, Isabella…….”
“Of course, I felt betrayed in approaching while hiding the fact that I was from a pagan, but if I was in that situation, I would have done the same..”
I didn't know at first. I didn't even want to know.
He just felt a great sense of betrayal at the fact that Syrpy had lied to him so far, so he only expressed his anger without thinking about the circumstances..
‘but it's different now.’
Syrpy's situation.
Her presence in the Desert Cult.
The reason why he had no choice but to cross the border and enter the academy even though he was from a pagan origin..
Now that she has accepted all of this and faced her honest feelings, Ibela is finally able to understand Syrpy..
“So, I got it. huh. that's all.”
After answering, Evela smiled lightly..
It was because I felt that the stuffiness I had been feeling had been relieved a bit. But that was short-lived, Evela's condition worsened again..
“However, this time it seems a bit overkill.”
“Do not say! hurt……!”
“At this rate, I don't have a face to see Ulan.…….”
Is it because I shed too much blood??
Ibella's complexion grew pale. At the same time, her body temperature gradually dropped, so Syrphy hurriedly hugged her..
“No way, Ibella! Wake!”
There are many things I haven't said yet.
I didn't even apologize properly, but I can't send it like this. Syrpy was desperately trying to come up with a way to save Ibella..
At that moment.
The voice of salvation has been heard.
